CHAPTER 399: MARTIAL GOD GU MINGCHAO

Chu Xinghe had meticulously prepared for this occasion.

First, he blocked the news of the evaluation panel's arrival, not even allowing it to reach the Sect Master.

So, the entire sect was going about their usual business, completely unaware that the evaluation panel had already arrived.

This time, we're going for the element of surprise.

Even if we can't shake off the title of the Grand Sky Sect, at least we can cause a stir, right?

Chu Xinghe specifically asked Senior Brother Feng Fei about previous top ten evaluations. In the past, when facing Old Man Wuyang, the most senior figure on the Blazing Sun Continent, every sect would prepare for a long time in advance.

At the very least, when Old Man Wuyang arrived, a welcoming lineup was a must.

This was a sign of respect for Old Man Wuyang.

But this time, forget about a welcoming lineup, I even sent the disciples guarding the mountain to rest. How could there be a welcoming lineup?

No way!

If time weren't so tight, I would have dismantled the Grand Sky Sect's mountain gate.

Whether other sects welcome him or not, I don't know, but when it comes to our Grand Sky Sect, there's nothing.

Just as Chu Xinghe was smiling, waiting for Old Man Wuyang to lose his temper, Old Man Wuyang's words left Chu Xinghe utterly bewildered.

What do you mean by "as expected of the Grand Sky Sect"?

What do you mean by "completely different"?

What do you mean by "not putting on airs and showing the most authentic scene to everyone"?

Old Man Wuyang, did you consider my feelings when you said that?

Ignoring the confused Chu Xinghe, Old Man Wuyang took out a recording crystal and began documenting on it right there.

"The Grand Sky Sect, the number one sect under heaven, pursues practicality, never allowing disciples to put on airs or do superficial work. The entire sect is truly upright and virtuous!"

After recording this, Ling Su was left dumbfounded.

What the... Old Man Wuyang, do you have any shame?

Even if the whole world knows that the Grand Sky Sect's position as the number one sect is unshakable, what happened to Old Man Wuyang's integrity and impartiality?

In the last evaluation, the Star Moon Sect was criticized by you for not being respectful enough because their welcoming ceremony wasn't grand enough...

The Star Moon Sect was heavily criticized for that.

But today, at the Grand Sky Sect, there's not even a welcoming ceremony, let alone a grand one, right?

Ling Su was ready to see Old Man Wuyang scold the Grand Sky Sect into oblivion...

But what the hell is "upright and virtuous"?

Not only was Ling Su confused, but the Great Elder was also bewildered.

When he saw that our Grand Sky Sect had no welcoming ceremony at all, the Great Elder was a bit anxious.

After all, Old Man Wuyang's status and seniority are well-known.

Even if the Sect Master, a Martial God, personally came to welcome him, it wouldn't be inappropriate.

Even if the Sect Master didn't come, at least a grand ceremony with a few elders waiting would be necessary.

But there was nothing, just Xinghe. What the hell is that?

Wouldn't Old Man Wuyang be angry?

Although the Great Elder wasn't worried that Old Man Wuyang's anger would affect the Grand Sky Sect's ranking, Old Man Wuyang's seniority is so high. Wouldn't our actions make outsiders think we're too arrogant? ṘАɴÓᛒЁs

But Old Man Wuyang's reaction left the Great Elder completely bewildered... Upright and virtuous? High moral character?

Ahem... That's right... The Great Elder expressed that Old Man Wuyang has sharp eyes, and this is indeed the style of our Grand Sky Sect.

What? You say we don't respect Old Man Wuyang enough?

Our Xinghe personally came to welcome him, isn't that enough respect?

Xinghe is the future of our Grand Sky Sect... Our future personally came to welcome you, and you say it's not enough respect?

So Old Man Wuyang's words are spot on.

A bewildered Chu Xinghe personally led Old Man Wuyang, and a group of people entered the Grand Sky Sect.

According to the usual routine, Old Man Wuyang should be arranged a place to rest first, and then the Sect Master should be invited to receive him. But Chu Xinghe never follows the routine.

If I arrange a place for Old Man Wuyang to rest and then notify the Sect Master, wouldn't the whole sect know?

If the sect knows about Old Man Wuyang's visit, can they still act according to their own ideas?

So Chu Xinghe decided to go all out... and directly led Old Man Wuyang to the Grand Sky Palace!

And headed straight towards the Grand Sky Hall where the Sect Master was.

We're going for the element of surprise, absolutely not giving the sect any chance to react. Isn't the first item about assessing high-level combat power?

Let's go, let's go... I, Chu Xinghe, will show you the most authentic Sect Master!

A group of people followed Chu Xinghe all the way to the Grand Sky Palace, and everyone was bewildered.

All present were Great Elders from various sects, and of course, they had been to the Grand Sky Palace before, but today we are members of the evaluation panel!

According to the usual routine, no matter which sect Old Man Wuyang arrives at, the big shots of each sect would prepare tea and snacks, serving him carefully.

If Old Man Wuyang is pleased, he might speak well of the sects during the evaluation... Even if the ranking can't be changed, if Old Man Wuyang writes down some praises, it could bring some benefits to the sect.

But look at the Grand Sky Sect... There's no welcoming ceremony, and they don't even let him rest. What the hell is dragging him directly to the Grand Sky Palace?

Even the Great Elder looked at Xinghe with a head full of questions, wondering what Xinghe was up to.

However, since this is an evaluation of the Grand Sky Sect, the Great Elder, as a member of the evaluation panel, theoretically should avoid suspicion, so he couldn't say anything.

Under Chu Xinghe's guidance, a group of people arrived at the Grand Sky Hall.

Before they could enter, they heard Elder Yu's anxious voice from inside.

"Sect Master, these two matters are urgent, you need to handle them quickly, or our Green Wood Palace's development will be affected!"

Hearing Elder Yu's words, everyone nodded, thinking it was a good opportunity to see how the Grand Sky Sect Master, Martial God Gu Mingchao, handled sect affairs.

But to everyone's surprise, Gu Mingchao's lazy voice came from inside.

"Elder Yu... what's the rush... for these two matters, I think we should just wait and see..."

Scene: "???"

Chu Xinghe was laughing so hard he was almost numb. As they say, timing is everything, and this was perfect timing.

The Sect Master's response was too satisfying!

Facing sect affairs, this "wait and see" approach, you have to admit, is impressive!

Other sect masters handle sect affairs with painstaking effort, but look at our Sect Master, Martial God Gu Mingchao... He goes for a "wait and see" approach.

I know you're anxious, but don't be, let's just wait and see!

Isn't this problem-solving method exciting?

And what's even more exciting is that the evaluation panel could clearly see through the open doors of the Grand Sky Hall what the Sect Master was doing...

At this moment, Sect Master Gu Mingchao was sitting in the middle of the Grand Sky Hall, not in seclusion, but... painting?

Everyone could see clearly what he was painting... It wasn't landscapes or animals... He was painting himself...

And the Gu Mingchao in the painting was depicted as wise and powerful, with an inscription beside it.

Self-portrait of Martial God Gu Mingchao!

The words "Martial God" were even highlighted in red and bold!

This scene left everyone at the scene stunned... Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost jumped up.

He had been to the Grand Sky Palace many times and had heard of the Sect Master's exquisite painting skills, but had never seen them.

But today, he never expected the Sect Master's painting skills to be so exquisite, casually painting a self-portrait...

Ling Su was so excited he almost wet himself.

Since the incident at the Silver Star Mountain Range, the Cloud Soar Sect had been dreaming of ways to undermine the Grand Sky Sect, to take revenge on the Grand Sky Sect.

For this top ten evaluation, Ling Su had thought of ten thousand methods, but ultimately gave up. There was no way... The Grand Sky Sect's strength was too formidable, and the position of the number one sect under heaven was unshakable.

So even if Ling Su wanted to use some schemes, there was no opportunity to do so.

But Ling Su never dreamed he would witness such a spectacular scene today.

The dignified Grand Sky Sect Master Gu Mingchao, the dignified Martial God... actually said "wait and see" when dealing with sect affairs!

And there he was, painting a self-portrait... How narcissistic must you be, Gu Mingchao?

This is practically indulging in pleasures to the point of neglecting duties, you know?

Martial God Gu Mingchao indulges in pleasures, neglects sect affairs, and after becoming the first Martial God in a thousand years, he has completely let himself go.

With a Sect Master so unreliable, the Grand Sky Sect's downfall is imminent!

Although our Cloud Soar Sect is not as strong as your Grand Sky Sect now, look at your Sect Master Gu Mingchao, what else can he do besides "wait and see"?

Look at our Sect Master Xing Yushen, although he has been defeated many times, our Sect Master is diligently in seclusion... He even declared that he won't come out until he becomes a Martial God.

Today, let your Grand Sky Sect be arrogant for a few days, but with a Sect Master like yours, it won't be long before our Cloud Soar Sect replaces you.

Ling Su looked at Old Man Wuyang with excitement...

Old Man Wuyang is known for his integrity, he can't stand people who indulge in pleasures and neglect duties. Today, seeing Gu Mingchao like this, Old Man Wuyang will surely document all of Gu Mingchao's actions and announce them to the world, letting everyone see what kind of person the Grand Sky Sect Master Gu Mingchao is!

Even if the Grand Sky Sect's position can't be shaken for now, at least it can make the Grand Sky Sect lose face, right?

With Ling Su's expectant gaze, Old Man Wuyang seriously took out his recording crystal and began writing furiously!

"Grand Sky Sect Master Gu Mingchao... the first Martial God in a thousand years... Not only is Martial God Gu Mingchao's cultivation level astonishing, but his painting skills are also unparalleled, with the ability to capture the essence of time with a single glance."

"Facing urgent sect affairs, Martial God Gu Mingchao remains calm and composed, truly a dragon among men!"

"As they say, the thousand-year Martial God Gu Mingchao, unmatched in painting skills, soaring to the skies, remains calm amidst countless affairs, a dragon among men, behold him today!"

Scene: "????????????"

Chu Xinghe: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
