Chapter 100

"Senior Brother, are you looking for us?"

At the foot of Spirit Sword Peak, Cao Luo and Zhou Zhi'an, who had just responded to the summons, looked at Fan Chuyu, who was disheveled and had lost his usual suave demeanor, with puzzled faces.

"Go, both of you, go challenge Ye Zhen." Fan Chuyu said with a greenish face.

Cao Luo and Zhou Zhi'an's faces immediately turned grim.

"Senior Brother, we also want to challenge Ye Zhen, but since the day Ye Zhen was taken away by Fairy Caiyi, he hasn't shown up again. We want to challenge him, but there's no way. By the way, Senior Brother, do you know where Ye Zhen is?"

Mentioning this was bad enough, but as soon as it was mentioned, Fan Chuyu's handsome face turned ashen.

"Ye Zhen is... on Fairy Peak!"

"Fairy Peak?"

Cao Luo and Zhou Zhi'an were immediately stunned. Zhou Zhi'an, being a bit foolish, added, "Senior Brother, you don't mean that Ye Zhen has been on Fairy Peak for the past ten days, right? Then..."

"Are you trying to get yourself killed by talking?" Cao Luo shouted angrily at Zhou Zhi'an.

"Senior Brother, if Ye Zhen stays on Fairy Peak and doesn't come out, we can't challenge him either."

Seeing his two fellow disciples, who were trying to accommodate his mood and didn't dare to say much, Fan Chuyu was extremely frustrated. If it got out that Ye Zhen had lived on Fairy Peak for ten days, where would he put his face?

Everyone in the sect knew that Fan Chuyu was pursuing Fairy Caiyi, and he was pursuing her with all his might. Now, it seemed that Ye Zhen had beaten him to it.

"Use this, I don't believe Ye Zhen won't come out!"

"Amplification talisman?"

Seeing the stack of jade talismans Fan Chuyu handed over, Cao Luo's eyes went wide.

"Yes, use the amplification talisman! With this amplification talisman, hundreds of peaks nearby can hear it. I don't believe Ye Zhen can pretend to be deaf and not come out. By the way, curse him harshly, call him a coward, a wimp, and all that! If once doesn't work, curse him a hundred times. I don't believe this brat Ye Zhen won't come out of Fairy Peak!" Fan Chuyu's face was full of malice.

"Uh..."

Cao Luo swallowed hard, finding this method to be utterly despicable.

"What?"

Fan Chuyu's gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced Cao Luo.

Pressed by Fan Chuyu's gaze, Cao Luo was almost in tears, "Senior Brother, the last time I challenged Ye Zhen, I was scolded by Fairy Caiyi as 'the most shameless.' I can't even hold my head up among the fellow disciples, they say I only bully the weak."

"Bullying the weak, Ye Zhen is ranked tenth on the Heavenly List, his rank is higher than yours, how is that bullying the weak!"

"But... but Ye Zhen's cultivation is only at the Fourth Level of True Essence. I am already at the early stage of the Spirit Induction Realm..."

Seeing the anger on Fan Chuyu's face intensify, Cao Luo suddenly became anxious, "Right, let Junior Brother Zhou do it! Zhou was severely tricked by Ye Zhen last time, challenging Ye Zhen for revenge is justified. Cursing him a hundred times won't be a problem."

Zhou Zhi'an's throat immediately began to rise and fall rapidly. Fan Chuyu's request was indeed a bit low. However, what he was most worried about was that he might not be able to defeat Ye Zhen.

No matter how low Ye Zhen's cultivation was, his Heavenly List points were not fake.

Otherwise, Zhou Zhi'an wouldn't have shown weakness in front of Master Hong Banjiang last time.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you do it! By the way, you were severely tricked by Ye Zhen, so you probably don't have any medicinal pills for cultivation. Here are three bottles of Essence Condensation Pills, use them."

Tossed a few sweet rewards, Zhou Zhi'an immediately became excited.

"Alright, I'll do it! Senior Brother, but Ye Zhen's strength..."

"Just Fourth Level of True Essence. What's there to fear!"

After a pause, Fan Chuyu handed Zhou Zhi'an a cold, gleaming treasure sword, "I'll lend you my lower-grade treasure weapon, the Three Elements Sword, which can greatly enhance your combat power! Remember, if you get the chance, kill Ye Zhen for me!"

"Alright!"

Zhou Zhi'an, upon receiving the sword, was so excited he almost jumped up.

In the next moment, as Zhou Zhi'an crushed an amplification talisman, his angry curses immediately echoed throughout the entire Qiyun Sect.

"Ye Zhen, get out here! I, Zhou Zhi'an, challenge you, the tenth on the Heavenly List! You coward, hiding and not coming out, huh?"

"Ye Zhen, get out here! You coward, wimp, if you have the guts, hide for a lifetime..."

On Fairy Peak, Ye Zhen was playing with three little flower squirrels under a pine tree with Fairy Caiyi. They were petting the squirrels, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhi'an's angry curses thundered into Fairy Peak.

Ye Zhen's face changed, and Fairy Caiyi's delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"How can Zhou Zhi'an be so bad?"

"He's forcing me to accept the challenge."

Ye Zhen sneered, about to respond, but then his brows furrowed.

"Fairy Caiyi, do you have an amplification talisman? Lend me one!"

This time, Fairy Caiyi didn't immediately answer Ye Zhen. Instead, she looked at him intently and said, "In the future, just call me Caiyi. I don't like being called Fairy..."

"Why don't you like it?"

"Fairy is too lonely, being a mortal is better..." She handed over an amplification jade talisman.

At that moment, a chord in Ye Zhen's heart was touched...

In the next moment, Ye Zhen's voice also echoed through the sky of Qiyun Sect.

"Zhou Zhi'an, if you want to fight, let's fight!"

With Ye Zhen's loud challenge, the previously calm Qiyun Sect immediately erupted.

Whether it was disciples practicing martial arts in the mountains, those meditating in their rooms, or those about to leave the sect to complete missions, upon hearing Ye Zhen's challenge, they all turned and rushed to the arena.

After all, since Ye Zhen broke into the top ten of the Heavenly List ten days ago, he had been a hot topic in Qiyun Sect, a subject of conversation among both inner and outer disciples.

Breaking into the top ten of the Heavenly List wasn't unusual, but breaking in at the Fourth Level of True Essence was quite remarkable.

Almost everyone wanted to know how Ye Zhen managed to break into the top ten of the Heavenly List.

Did he use a trick when he broke in?

Or did he cheat?

"Ye Zhen accepted the challenge?"

Ren Xihua, who was practicing sword techniques in the courtyard, suddenly stopped and rushed out, heading for the arena, "I have to see the battle of the one who pushed me out of the top ten of the Heavenly List."

Changsun Ran, who was practicing in the dense forest, also rushed to the arena.

In the patriarch's room, Patriarch Guo Qijing's brows furrowed, "Both times, it's Elder Hong's disciple? What is he trying to do? This is too low."

In the training hall, Liao Feibai, who was training Meng Xiaoyue, looked up at the sky, "This brat finally showed up, where has he been hiding for ten days?"

"Zhou Zhi'an is challenging Ye Zhen? This is going to be big." Jin Yuanbao, who was meditating in his courtyard, darted out like a rabbit.

In no time, the entire Qiyun Sect was flooded with streams of disciples heading to the arena. Every inner and outer disciple still in the sect rushed to the arena.

When Zhou Zhi'an and Cao Luo, who had heard Ye Zhen's acceptance, arrived at the arena, they were immediately stunned.

Damn, so many people!

And more were still pouring in.

If he lost this fight, it would be...

"Junior Brother Zhou, don't worry. You have a lower-grade treasure weapon, and your cultivation is at the late Fifth Level of True Essence. Ye Zhen's cultivation is only at the Fourth Level. Ye Zhen tricked you out of 240,000 taels of silver, you need to take revenge..."

"Right, I need to take revenge!"

Spurred on by Cao Luo, Zhou Zhi'an's expression turned fierce, and his killing intent rose, "Where is he, Ye Zhen, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Ye Zhen, you coward, are you afraid? Why haven't you come yet?" Zhou Zhi'an, enraged, crushed another amplification talisman and shouted.

Whoosh!

A colorful ribbon suddenly shot through the air, striking Zhou Zhi'an's head like lightning. The terrifying spiritual energy on it froze Zhou Zhi'an in shock!

"No!"

Ye Zhen's cry of alarm echoed at the same time.

Almost simultaneously, several elders who were secretly observing the scene also cried out in alarm. If the ribbon had struck, Zhou Zhi'an's head would have been smashed like a watermelon.

Elder Hong Banjiang, who was secretly observing, stood up, his face turning ashen as he looked at the figures in the sky.

Swish!

Perhaps Ye Zhen's cry of alarm had an effect. Just as the ribbon was about to crush Zhou Zhi'an's head, it suddenly stopped. Fairy Caiyi's clear, cold voice echoed in the sky.

"You insult Ye Zhen so much, that's too bad. If you do it again, hmpf!"

The ribbon, suspended above Zhou Zhi'an's head, retracted like a snake, leaving him standing there, drenched in sweat and trembling.

Cao Luo, standing nearby, was also stunned. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, grateful that it didn't happen to him.

Otherwise, he would have been the one scared half to death.

The outer disciples who saw this scene were stunned.

In their minds, Fairy Caiyi was very kind. She would casually use her spiritual energy to heal injured disciples or even injured insects and beasts.

Even if someone occasionally offended her, Fairy Caiyi rarely got angry. Caiyi was almost the opposite of the violent and protective Liao Feibai.

Today, because of Zhou Zhi'an's insults to Ye Zhen, she publicly lost her temper and almost killed Zhou Zhi'an. This was extremely rare.

At the same time, in the sky, Fairy Caiyi brought Ye Zhen flying over.

Seeing this, the more perceptive disciples sighed. Their goddess, the goddess in their hearts, already had a master.

Fan Chuyu, a true disciple secretly observing from Spirit Sword Peak, was deeply affected by this scene.

In an instant, his spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and spiritual energy sword lights shot out in all directions from his body.

"Ah, Ye Zhen..."

As the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuated, an invisible wave suddenly enveloped Spirit Sword Peak, instantly suppressing the violent fluctuations.

In the sky, Ye Zhen, brought by Fairy Caiyi, smiled bitterly. He should have insisted on not letting Caiyi bring him.

After ten days of interaction, Ye Zhen had come to understand Fairy Caiyi's character.

Caiyi seemed to be a very, very simple girl.

Perhaps because she rarely ventured into the secular world and was usually very lonely, with no friends or playmates, only her pet squirrels, her sense of right and wrong was very simple.

Whoever bullied her friends or did something bad to her friends was a bad person, even if her friends themselves were bad.

Even if someone damaged her beloved things or did something bad to her favorite small beasts, that person was a bad person, a bad guy!

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhi'an had fallen into the category of Caiyi's friends.

Caiyi's anger and attack on Zhou Zhi'an just now were due to this.

"Zhou Zhi'an, I'm here!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Zhen stepped onto the arena!
