CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 122: EACH HARBORS THEIR SCHEMES! INTENSE SMILES!

"My intention is quite simple."

Elder Fu Xiu’s voice was hoarse, and he spoke calmly, "With Xiao Ping’s talent, he naturally qualifies to be a True Disciple, naturally more worthy of our South Peak’s focused cultivation!"

"The path of Divine Thought is inherently difficult to cultivate, and our South Peak has been suppressed by the North Peak for many years. More and more disciples are choosing not to come to South Peak to cultivate in Divine Thought."

"We do indeed need a true prodigy to lead our South Peak to a meteoric rise!"

"Without a doubt, Xiao Ping is the best candidate!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but nod silently.

Indeed, what Elder Fu Xiu said was exactly what was on their minds.

However.

No one was in a hurry to speak up, as they knew Fu Xiu likely had more to say.

"But!"

Sure enough.

Elder Fu Xiu abruptly shifted his tone and said, "The more it is like this, the more we must be cautious! The more we must be on guard!"

"As far as I know, Xiao Ping has only been in the sect for a few days, yet you’re so trusting as to grant him the position of True Disciple? Are you not going to conduct any background checks? What if he is an infiltrator sent by a sect opposing our Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, aiming to climb to the upper echelons of our Celestial Wave?"

"Just think, if a True Disciple were an infiltrator from a rival sect, the things they could do would be countless!"

Upon hearing these words.

The other elders all narrowed their eyes slightly.

Considering prudence, Elder Fu Xiu was not wrong.

The position of True Disciple is too important.

At the head seat.

Moo Yuemei slightly shook her head with a smile, "So Elder Fu Xiu is worried about this, then I wish to ask you, which sect would be lavish enough to send an Innate Spiritual Body that has broken through the Divine Thought Shackles as an infiltrator?"

"You must know, any Innate Spiritual Body that has broken the Divine Thought Shackles has an immeasurable future! More than enough to become the pillar of the sect!"

As soon as these words fell, the other elders couldn’t help but nod again.

The Peak Leader’s words made sense as well.

No sect would send such talent to another force as an infiltrator!

After a pause.

Moo Yuemei continued with a smile, "Moreover, Xiao Ping’s identity has already been verified; three generations of their family have served as servants in Celestial Wave Sacred Lands. When it comes to background, no one would be more pure than him!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Fu Xiu’s cloudy eyes gradually narrowed.

He actually didn’t care at all whether Xiao Ping’s identity was an issue.

The main thing is.....

If Xiao Ping truly became a True Disciple and stayed under Moo Yuemei’s watch all the time, then how could he act to siphon off the person’s Essence Blood Divine Thought?

"Peak Leader, you make sense, but this old man believes it’s not wrong to think twice before acting."

"Why not send someone to Xiao Ping’s hometown for further investigation, to see if it matches up."

"It only takes a few days to go and return; if everything proves to be in order, then making Xiao Ping a True Disciple won’t be too late!"

Elder Fu Xiu calmly spoke.

As these words fell, Moo Yuemei couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

She didn’t wish to conduct any pointless investigations, wasting Chen Zhixing’s talent and time in vain.

But Fu Xiu’s words were so comprehensive that she had no immediate counter.

"Fu Xiu, then how do you propose we proceed?" Moo Yuemei asked in a stern voice.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Elder Fu Xiu’s mouth, he knew, he had succeeded!

"In my opinion, while investigating Xiao Ping, let Xiao Ping first become a Tao Seed disciple among the Five Great Elders, learning some basic Divine Thought knowledge. Once the investigation returns with confirmation of no issues,"

"Then Xiao Ping will also have learned the basic Divine Thought knowledge and can naturally be promoted to True Disciple to follow the Peak Leader in understanding the Core Technique!"

Elder Fu Xiu humbly bowed.

Chen Zhixing laughed upon hearing this.

Indeed, he was worrying about how, having just become a True Self Disciple, he could find an opportunity to kill Fu Xiu and strip the Heaven-Devouring Demon Body Fate from him.

Fu Xiu’s suggestion perfectly suited his intentions!

"Peak Leader, esteemed elders, this disciple feels that Elder Fu Xiu’s proposal is excellent, as it does not waste any cultivation time and also puts everyone’s mind at ease."

Chen Zhixing stepped forward, speaking sincerely.

"Xiao Ping, others are eager to become a True Disciple, yet you are considering us in every respect,"

Moo Yuemei, upon hearing this, looked at Chen Zhixing with increasingly gentle eyes.

"Very well, let’s proceed accordingly! Xiao Ping, which Elder do you wish to follow for your initial training?"

As soon as these words fell.

The eyes of the Five Great Elders in the great hall immediately turned towards Chen Zhixing.

"Xiao Ping, follow me for your training, my Divine Thought Illusion Creation Skill is incredibly powerful, learn my skills and you’ll be able to create endless Illusion Realms at a wave of your hand!" Elder Fu Zhi’s eyes burned bright as he was the first to speak.

"Xiao Ping, I am the War Mind Master among the Great Mind Masters, with formidable combat skills, follow me in training, and you will sweep through opponents of the same realm!" Elder Fu Long spoke in a deep voice, exuding a powerful aura.

"Xiao Ping, this old man can refine falsehoods into truths..."

In an instant, each of the great elders cast olive branches, looking at Chen Zhixing with eager eyes.

As an Innate Spiritual Body that had broken through the Divine Thought Shackles, Chen Zhixing was bound to soar high in the future, possibly the next South Peak Leader!

If they could guide Chen Zhixing, not only would they form a good relationship early, they would also be able to promote their Cultivation Method, gaining enormous fame!

Chen Zhixing smiled slightly and then looked towards Elder Fu Xiu at the back of the crowd, speaking calmly:

"This disciple wishes to temporarily follow Elder Fu Xiu for training!"

Wow—!

When these words fell, everyone on the scene froze, and then their expressions turned exceedingly strange.

Disciples who followed Elder Fu Xiu rarely met a good end!

Li Ran nudged Chen Zhixing lightly with his elbow, whispering, "Junior Brother Xiao, did you forget what I told you before?"

Chen Zhixing did not reply, his gaze still fixed on Elder Fu Xiu.

At the back of the crowd, Elder Fu Xiu, whose entire face was hidden in the shadows, had a smile completely spread across his face.

Could it be, this is what they mean by "seeking something far and wide only to find it easily"?

He had just been pondering how he could lure Xiao Ping under his wing, to easily siphon off the person’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

This person actually came to the door voluntarily?

At this moment.

His withered arms, tucked within his sleeves, began to tremble with excitement.

"Good!"

Elder Fu Xiu peeked out from the shadows, his gaze directed towards Chen Zhixing.

"Xiao Ping, I did not expect that after I just delayed your time to become a True Self Disciple, you would still willingly choose me!"

"With such magnanimity and courage, I will spare no effort to teach and assist you, helping you achieve great endeavors!"

"Thank you, Elder Fu Xiu." Chen Zhixing cupped his hand in salute.

Their eyes met in the air, and both faces simultaneously lit up with a rich smile.

"Xiao Ping, do you want to reconsider it further?" Moo Yuemei slightly frowned, pondering over.

Upon hearing this.

Xiao Ping and Elder Fu Xiu spoke simultaneously.

"Peak Leader, my mind is made up. I request your approval!"

"Could it be that the Peak Leader looks down on me? Why can others accept Xiao Ping, but I cannot? Please approve for the two of us!"

The words fell.

Chen Zhixing and Elder Fu Xiu exchanged a glance, both slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Ping, oh Xiao Ping, this is a case of having a road to heaven and not taking it, and yet you barged into hell without a door!" Elder Fu Xiu maintained the demeanor of an elder outwardly, but internally he was ecstatic, overjoyed.

"This..."

Moo Yuemei saw this, and reluctantly nodded, saying, "In that case, if I were to further persuade you, it might seem a bit difficult for the two of you."

"Very well. Xiao Ping, during this time, you can follow Elder Fu Xiu for your cultivation, and if there’s anything, you can come to me directly here."

Chen Zhixing and Elder Fu Xiu simultaneously thanked Moo Yuemei.

The next moment.

Both walked toward each other, reaching out to shake hands.

"Elder Fu Xiu, in the coming period, I will have to trouble you. Please guide me well."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. In the future, if you truly accomplish much, just don’t forget this old man here."

Their hands clasped tightly together, smiles growing even brighter.

"Alright then, let’s adjourn for today." Moo Yuemei said in a deep voice.

...

...

Moments later.

Chen Zhixing followed Fu Xiu towards the Fu Xiu Courtyard on the South Peak.

As an elder, it was naturally impossible to live together with ordinary disciples.

Thus, each elder had their own courtyard in locations rich with Spiritual Qi.

The two walked, one ahead and one behind, not speaking.

"That Moo Yuemei will undoubtedly be uneasy these days and will certainly focus his attention on Xiao Ping, making it inconvenient to take action."

"I have to think of a way, it’s best if I can stay alone with him."

Elder Fu Xiu walked with hands behind his back, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his eyes.

Behind him.

He didn’t see.

This ’Xiao Ping’, who appeared honest and naive, had eyes filled with killing intent, practically materializing!

"In the upcoming days, Moo Yuemei will definitely focus out of concern, making it inconvenient to act."

"It seems I need to create an opportunity to be alone with Elder Fu Xiu."

And so.

Both harbored their own hidden agendas as they arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.

The entire layout and structure of the courtyard, like Fu Xiu himself, exuded an air of desolation.

No sign of life.

"Ping’er, this is my courtyard, and it will also be the place where you’ll stay for the upcoming period."

Elder Fu Xiu turned around, his face bearing a benevolent smile towards the younger generation.

"Alright, then I shall rely on the elder."

Chen Zhixing nodded with the demeanor of an obedient disciple.

He continued, "Elder, I have some belongings in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department. I’d like to go fetch them first."

"Alright, go get your things and come back." Elder Fu Xiu said with a smile, then turned around and entered the courtyard.

Chen Zhixing gave a long bow towards Elder Fu Xiu’s back, then headed down the mountain towards the Miscellaneous Affairs Department.

Moments later.

Chen Zhixing arrived at the entrance of the Little Yellow Sect at the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, but seeing no one around, and sensing no Divine Thought shackles, he immediately turned and left Celestial Wave Sacred Lands.

Reaching a secluded area.

Chen Zhixing took out a Communication Talisman and wrote a small line on it.

The next moment.

Screech!

A majestic green-feathered bird shot out from a distance like an arrow, landing on Chen Zhixing’s outstretched arm.

"Send this message back to the Chen Family, and deliver it to the Patriarch."

Chen Zhixing gently stroked the bird’s feathers, speaking softly.

Screech!!

The bird’s sharp, curved claws immediately grasped the talisman and shot skyward, flying towards Yanzhou.

In no time, it disappeared into the vast night sky.

That night.

The Netherworld Elders led the Dark Division quickly towards Xiao Ping’s hometown!
