Chapter 46

From the time the Sky Splitting Sword Sect was founded until now, there has never been a disciple of supreme talent. Deputy Sect Leader Zhuang Xin’s voice was clearly trembling; the appearance of a disciple of supreme talent had already made it impossible for him to maintain his composure.

"Yes, Deputy Sect Leader, rest assured, we understand!"

"We will absolutely not tell anyone about this matter, and we will even forget it ourselves!"

The two elders were also flushed with excitement. The appearance of a disciple of supreme talent meant that their Sky Splitting Sword Sect was truly about to produce a world-class powerhouse. Even if Zhuang Xin did not warn them, they would absolutely not speak out of turn.

The three people present now looked at Ling Dao with completely different eyes. High talent does not necessarily mean one will become a world-class powerhouse, but it clearly increases the likelihood much more than low talent.

"Let's go, we'll go out first!"

Zhuang Xin’s eyes, looking at Ling Dao, were already as if he were looking at a rare treasure. In the Sky Spliting Sword Sect, there was not just one deputy sect leader. This time, the other deputy sect leaders had all found excuses not to come. If they knew that there was a world-class genius of supreme talent among the outer sect disciples, they would absolutely regret it to death.

At least for now, Ling Dao had a good impression of Zhuang Xin, which was the foundation for a good relationship. In the future, if Ling Dao became a world-class powerhouse, Zhuang Xin could also benefit from it, as Ling Dao did not even recognize the other deputy sect leaders.

"This is the Qi Condensation Pill, and this is a low-grade sword technique. Take them well!"

After knowing that Ling Dao was of supreme talent, the two elders’ efficiency had increased dramatically. They would not neglect Ling Dao, as the concept of supreme talent was something they could not even imagine.

No wonder Ling Dao could advance from the Bone Tempering Realm to the Blood Condensation Realm in just two months, no wonder he could become the top outer sect disciple at the Blood Condensation Realm. Now, no one would doubt him; just being of supreme talent could explain everything.

"Thank you, Elders, thank you, Deputy Sect Leader!"

Ling Dao’s character was such that if someone respected him, he would respect them even more. If the two elders still had the same attitude as before, Ling Dao would not have paid them any attention. But now, both the elders and the deputy sect leader were treating him well.

"This is my token. If any elder is blind, you can show them this token. Seeing the token is like seeing me; not many elders would dare to refuse me!"

Zhuang Xin took out a silver token, on which a large "Zhuang" character was engraved. He had long seen that many elders wanted to deal with Ling Dao. Now, giving Ling Dao this token was equivalent to giving him a life-saving charm. Before Ling Dao could refuse, the deputy sect leader had already disappeared from the scene.

"Congratulations! With this token, not many elders will dare to harm you!"

"Little brother, let me see you out!"

The way they addressed Ling Dao had changed to "little brother," which was the influence of his supreme talent. The two elders personally saw Ling Dao out, a treatment that no other outer sect disciple had ever received.

After leaving the pavilion, Ling Dao headed straight for Jiang Ren’s courtyard. Zhuang Xin’s token was thrown into the Qiankun Ring. He did not plan to use this token; if he could not even deal with those elders, how could he take revenge in the future?

...

Sky Splitting Palace Hall.

After the deputy sect leader left the pavilion, he went straight to the Sky Splitting Palace. The matter of supreme talent must be reported to the sect leader, as it was too important. The appearance of a disciple of high talent like Xia Xin Yao had already caused the upper echelons of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect to pay attention, let alone a disciple of supreme talent?

The sect leader of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect was seated on a throne, with ten elders below him. If Ling Dao were here, he would definitely recognize two of them: they were Elder Ji Yuanliang, the master of Teng Shaofeng, and Elder Xiao Yashuang, the master of Xia Xin Yao.

"Sect Leader, the first place in this outer sect disciple competition should be my disciple, Xia Xin Yao. As you know, Xin Yao is of high talent, and the Qi Condensation Pill and low-grade sword technique are best given to her.

That Ling Dao boy must have used some despicable means to defeat Xin Yao. I don’t think that boy has much talent, and giving him the Qi Condensation Pill and low-grade sword technique is a waste. Please, Sect Leader, consider this matter carefully!"

For a tenth-grade force, the Qi Condensation Pill was extremely precious, and Xiao Yashuang naturally wanted to secure one for Xia Xin Yao. She hated Ling Dao immensely and began to smear him, planning to deal with him properly after this period.

"I also agree with Elder Xiao. That Ling Dao boy is ruthless; it was just a friendly match, yet he severely injured my disciple, Teng Shaofeng. He even disrespected me in public, showing no respect for his superiors!"

After Xiao Yashuang and Ji Yuanliang spoke, the other eight elders also began to speak ill of Ling Dao. If it were just one or two elders, the sect leader of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect might not have taken it seriously, but now, even as the sect leader, Duan Zhenghui felt troubled.

"Since that disciple was able to win first place, the Qi Condensation Pill and low-grade sword technique should be his."

As soon as the sect leader of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect finished speaking, the ten elders all spoke up in opposition. Apart from Xiao Yashuang and Ji Yuanliang, the other eight elders had a great deal of resentment towards Jiang Ren, and now they were all targeting Ling Dao.

"Please, Sect Leader, think carefully!"

"Please, Sect Leader, think carefully!"

"Please, Sect Leader, think carefully!"

Each elder said this, causing the sect leader’s brows to furrow tightly. With all ten elders speaking like this, the sect leader was also troubled. Even the sect leader did not understand why so many elders would all target an outer sect disciple.

"Actually, what Elder Xiao said makes sense; a disciple of high talent is indeed more important. However, this matter is difficult to handle. Do any of you have a good solution?"

The sect leader of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect wanted a solution that would satisfy everyone. His words clearly showed that he was already wavering. Xiao Yashuang smiled, and the other elders also chuckled, as they had many ways to deal with Ling Dao.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, leave it to us. We will ensure that Ling Dao willingly hands over the Qi Condensation Pill and low-grade sword technique!"

Ji Yuanliang said with a smile, and he already had various plans in mind. The other elders also echoed him, as they did not want to see Ling Dao grow, as that would not be good for them.

"Hmm, what you say..."

Before Duan Zhenghui could finish, Deputy Sect Leader Zhuang Xin interrupted him. If it were a normal time, Zhuang Xin would not be so impolite, but Ling Dao’s matter was too important. If the sect leader really issued an order, Ling Dao would absolutely have no good feelings towards the Sky Splitting Sword Sect. If a world-class genius of supreme talent were to become an enemy of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, how terrifying would that be?

"Sect Leader, no! Absolutely not!"
