Chapter 38

Calmly looking at the sect representatives, Wang Chen listened to their offers without showing the excitement everyone expected. Instead, he carefully weighed them. (1. Win phone credit)

The conditions offered by these sects were indeed generous. Apart from the first-rate Donglin Mountain, the conditions offered by the other sects were enough to make anyone envious. This could be seen from those who had been selected previously.

At this moment, the faces of these people were complex as they looked at each other, and then at Wang Chen, revealing deep jealousy.

How could the boy who was once considered a waste in their eyes now become so sought after? How could he be more in demand than they were? Donglin Mountain was willing to take him? The sects had offered conditions that were many times more generous than what they had received?

The world was too crazy.

After making their offers, the representatives of these sects looked at Wang Chen with fiery eyes, as if admiring a work of art!

They were not fools. Could they not know what Qingfeng Academy was? Could the tests here be wrong? And for two consecutive years? This was definitely not possible.

So there was only one possibility: in just two months, the boy in front of them had directly advanced from the third stage of Body Tempering to the sixth stage. What did this mean? How many people in the Tianfeng Kingdom could compare to him?

They would not be like ordinary people, foolishly thinking that Wang Chen was hiding his strength!

Two months, advancing three stages! Think about it, who would want to miss such talent? In these few days, these people had thoroughly investigated Wang Chen. The deeper the investigation, the more surprises Wang Chen brought them. Therefore, they had already made up their minds to get Wang Chen, even if it meant paying the highest price.

Looking at the young man in the arena, who was now the center of attention, with all the sects vying for him, Han Yuxuan, standing behind the masked woman on the stage, had a complex expression, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The boy who had endured ridicule for two years had finally broken free from his shackles!

Beside the girl, a man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes and with a graceful demeanor, was also looking at him with fiery eyes. Seeing the girl lost in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"

The concerned voice beside her brought Han Yuxuan back to her senses. Turning her head, she saw her senior brother looking at her with earnest eyes. (1. Win phone credit) He was a disciple of the Zixiao Hall, and after Han Yuxuan joined, she became his junior sister!

"Nothing!" Her face regained its usual coldness as she replied coolly.

Hearing Han Yuxuan's words, the man's eyes flashed with doubt. Following her gaze, Wang Chen came into view.

Seeing the cold expression on the beautiful girl beside him, the man felt a bit frustrated.

This time, accompanying the senior sister to select new blood, he had been attracted by Han Yuxuan's stunning beauty the moment he saw her. With her exceptional talent, he had already set his sights on her. However, Han Yuxuan was indifferent to his advances, always maintaining a cold demeanor, just like the senior sister, ignoring his efforts to win her favor.

Just now, she had actually smiled at that boy? This was absolutely unacceptable! Thinking of this, the man's eyes grew colder as he glared at Wang Chen on the stage.

Wang Chen, however, was completely unaware that he had been targeted by a cold gaze.

Facing the invitations from numerous sects, he frowned, weighing his options. His brother had said that those involved in the destruction of his family were likely among these sects, but which one?

At the same time, he noticed that the lean old man, who had only shown a slight reaction when Han Yuxuan appeared, was now standing up.

"The Star Sect is also willing to accept you!" The old man walked to the front of the stage and said calmly, his voice low but clear, reaching everyone's ears.

"The Star Sect!" His appearance caused another stir.

This sect, which did not belong to any country, had actually come to select new blood? They never participated in such selection activities, yet they had appeared today?

Wang Chen was also slightly surprised. The Star Sect, a sect as mysterious as the Zixiao Hall, had actually come.

The Star Sect, a sect that did not belong to any country, was said to be located in the harsh Yin Feng Valley in the northern border. Decades ago, they had been as glorious as the Zixiao Hall. For unknown reasons, they had suffered a joint attack from multiple sects, ultimately retreating from the public eye and going into hiding. In recent years, they had started to reappear, but they were extremely low-key, avoiding further attacks. Now, they had come to select talent?

Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but frown deeply!

"Hehe, interesting! Boy, aren't you looking to join a sect to enhance your cultivation? Go to the Star Sect!" As Wang Chen was thinking, Ling Zhan's voice came again, with a playful tone.

"Why?" Frowning slightly, Wang Chen asked.

He wanted to stay within the Tianfeng Kingdom to facilitate his search for the killers. Of course, there was more to it than that. The Star Sect, like the Black Dragon Cliff, belonged to the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect gave him the impression of being ruthless and cold-hearted, and he naturally did not like such sects.

"Isn't your goal to become stronger? The Demon Sect is the best choice. Fierce competition and a lot of practical combat are the best ways to improve! Besides, hehe, don't you want to take revenge?

Do you think that once you find the killers and know which sect did it, you can take revenge? Do you think you can shake the foundations of these sects alone? Even if you could, how many years would it take? By then, you might already be old?

Moreover, staying in the Tianfeng Kingdom, do you think you can investigate the killers? Since they dared to act and knew that you and your brother were still alive but did not act, it means they are well hidden and not afraid of your revenge! Especially since you are right under their noses, completely controlled, how can you investigate?

Furthermore, if it were before, they might have tolerated you, but now that you and your brother have shown your talent, can they still tolerate you?

Therefore, the Star Sect is the best choice. The Demon Sect, though ruthless, is not completely evil. The so-called crimes are just what those hypocrites say. Have you seen their true faces? I think the Demon Sect is sometimes better than those righteous sects! Moreover, your Wang family was not destroyed by them! Joining them can also protect you from many dangers.

Most importantly, hehe, with the enemy in the open and you in the shadows, it's easier to investigate. In the end, you might even be able to use the Star Sect to take revenge, isn't that right?"

For Wang Chen's doubts, Ling Zhan slowly replied, with a hint of a sinister smile.

Listening to these words, Wang Chen was deeply stunned. Yes, how could he forget these things? Being in the open and the enemy in the shadows, or the enemy in the open and you in the shadows, are completely different. As Ling Zhan said, the Demon Sect is indeed the best place to improve, especially the Yin Feng Valley, which is connected to the Plain of Wailing, making it an excellent place for cultivation!

Frowning deeply, Wang Chen lowered his head and pondered.

"Alright, I'll go there!" After careful consideration, Wang Chen said firmly.

The people around him, especially the sect representatives, watched Wang Chen, who was lost in thought, with tension.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Chen raised his head: "Alright, the Star Sect, I, Wang Chen, am willing to join!"

Sigh...

Everyone couldn't help but draw a sharp breath when they heard his answer.

Rustle...

Then, the crowd erupted. He had actually chosen to join the Star Sect, a Demon Sect? Despite the generous offers from so many sects, he had rejected them all? What was he thinking?

Not only the onlookers, but even the sect representatives looked at Wang Chen with shock, unable to understand why he would choose a fallen Demon Sect. Perhaps decades ago, the Star Sect was glorious, but after the attack, it had declined. How could it compare to a major sect like Donglin Mountain? He had actually given up Donglin Mountain to join a Demon Sect?

Incredulity was written on everyone's face.

"Good... Hahaha... Good! You are now a member of the Star Sect!" The old man, however, did not show any surprise, laughing heartily. At this moment, he no longer looked frail; he was full of energy, his eyes sharp and piercing!
