Chapter 2047: Chapter 2314: Zhan Wudao

Everyone looked towards Ren Feifan, initially thinking he would accept without hesitation.

After all, it was a golden opportunity.

No one would refuse it.

But to everyone’s surprise, the next second, a lazy voice sounded: “No need, I think the position of a Keqing elder is fine.”

At this moment, the entrance of the Keqing Palace fell silent.

It was so quiet that even the commotion outside could be heard clearly.

No one had yet snapped out of Zhan Tianya’s invitation! Yet Ren Feifan actually refused!

This was a position as a Cloudwater Sect elder!

An existence countless Hidden Gate individuals dreamed of!

Once you become an elder of Cloudwater Sect, endless resources are at your disposal!

It even equates to holding power and an amulet within the Hidden Gate!

An important amulet of Cloudwater Sect!

Who would be foolish enough to give up this invitation?

But the Ren Feifan in front of us really refused! Without a hint of hesitation!

Moreover, it’s even more significant that this was a personal invitation from the Sect Master of Cloudwater Sect!

Once accepted, it could mean rising rapidly, maybe becoming the new Sect Master of Cloudwater Sect in a hundred years!

To give up such a great opportunity, are you out of your mind!

Li Ru and Xie Kui glanced at Ren Feifan, realizing that he showed no emotion, as if he had done something rather ordinary.

They were really stunned.

Does this Ren Feifan know where to draw the line!

Zhan Tianya naturally hadn’t expected to be refused, his face turned somewhat ashen.

For so many years, no one had ever dared to refuse him!

If it were someone else, he would have slain them with one blow long ago.

But standing before him was a seventh-level Array Master, so young that he could be described as extraordinarily gifted.

Killing him would indeed be a shame.

If he were to become a ninth-level Array Master in the future, it would be extremely significant for their sect.

“Kid, I want to know why you refused me? You should understand the difference between a Keqing elder and a true elder, right? One holds real power, the other is merely a nominal position, dispensable.”

Zhan Tianya said.

Ren Feifan nodded, glancing at the Cloudwater Sect elders behind him, not knowing if Ye Qingtian from the Dragon Clan was among them.

“I just think the Keqing elder position is good. As for the Cloudwater Sect elder position, I can’t say it’s a rejection, because I need to assess it for a while. After all, I’m not very familiar with Hidden Gate sects. If Cloudwater Sect isn’t what I expect, I might leave early.”

Ren Feifan couldn’t speak too definitively; otherwise, if he angered Zhan Tianya, he might not even be able to enter Cloudwater Sect.

Upon hearing Ren Feifan’s explanation, Zhan Tianya’s expression softened slightly.

He figured Ren Feifan was a formation talent from some secluded world, not clear about the Hidden Gate’s layout, and had come to Cloudwater Sect only for refuge and resources.

Otherwise, if he knew the foundation of Cloudwater Sect, he wouldn’t have said such things.

Even though Zhan Tianya understood, he still twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth at the thought of Ren Feifan giving their Cloudwater Sect an assessment period.

Who dares give Cloudwater Sect an assessment period under the heavens?

It’s always Cloudwater Sect assessing others, isn’t it!

Zhan Tianya snapped out of his thoughts, then looked at the three behind Ren Feifan: “Do you all mean the same?”

The Dragon Girl and others nodded.

Given the situation, Zhan Tianya couldn’t say much and directly said, “Although our Cloudwater Sect isn’t the top sect in Hidden Gate, it’s also at the forefront of level-one sects. A grand sect has the attitude of a grand sect and never coerces. Since you all are new to Hidden Gate, I respect you, and I’ll give you ten days to consider.

In these ten days, if you change your mind, you can always find me at Cloudwater Hall!”

Ren Feifan nodded, without any more words.

Zhan Tianya waved his sleeve, loudly declaring, “Let’s go!”

In an instant, those terrifying presences disappeared from Ren Feifan’s sight.

Seeing the sect master leave, Li Ru and Xie Kui got up, looking at Ren Feifan in astonishment.

“Brother Ren, you guys really passed? Damn! This is amazing, and you’re a seventh-level Array Master? I knew you’d have the capability to get into Cloudwater Sect unscathed!”

For a moment, Li Ru was in awe of Ren Feifan.

The sect master involved himself, so how could Ren Feifan’s passing be fake?

Dragon Girl couldn’t stand it anymore, interjecting: “Li, you weren’t saying that just now… You humans are really hypocritical.”

Li Ru: “…”

Xie Kui: “…”

Half an hour later.

Ren Feifan and the others were placed in a residence surrounded by clouds and mist.

An independent courtyard, filled with rich spiritual energy.

One can imagine how deep the foundation of Cloudwater Sect is.

During this time, Li Ru and Xie Kui came to invite Ren Feifan for a meal, but he refused.

Ren Feifan only hoped to quickly find out the whereabouts of Demon Lord’s physical body.

He had no attachment to Cloudwater Sect.

He wondered how things were going over at the Sacred Gate.

He looked at the Jade Seal of Demon Lord in his hand, finding no response.

It seemed like he’d have to wait until the night to find out!

Ren Feifan remembered something, and from his mysterious space, he took out a letter.

This was given to him by Ren Ao Tian, saying it was for someone named Zhan Wudao.

The person would naturally provide him with some conveniences in Cloudwater Sect upon seeing the letter.

So, Ren Feifan came to Li Ru’s residence.

“Brother Li, do you know if Cloudwater Sect has an elder named Zhan Wudao?”

Hearing Ren Feifan’s question, Li Ru pondered for a long time, answering after a minute: “Brother Ren, what do you really mean, Zhan Wudao? An elder? I’ve been in Cloudwater Sect for so long and have never heard of an elder named Zhan Wudao?

Besides, the name is a bit odd; typically, elders wouldn’t take such names. After all, the sect master is named Zhan Tianya, and someone named Wudao would obviously sound more imposing than the sect master’s name. That’s a big taboo; maybe the person you’re seeking is a newly admitted disciple?”

Ren Feifan frowned, thinking that from the name alone, it seemed unlikely the person was an elder.

But Ren Ao Tian clearly told him that this person’s identity was special, so how could it be a disciple?

Ren Feifan glanced at the letter, shook his head helplessly, and bade farewell to Li Ru.

It seemed the internal power of Cloudwater Sect couldn’t be utilized, and he’d have to rely on himself to find Demon Lord’s physical body.

All day, Ren Feifan wandered with the Dragon Girl around Cloudwater Sect, keeping an eye on the reaction of the Jade Seal of Demon Lord in the mysterious space.

But it seemed like the Jade Seal of Demon Lord was malfunctioning, with not a trace of movement.

“Could it be that the body has already been moved? Not in Cloudwater Sect?”

After all, so much time had passed, there should have been some change.

At this moment, the Dragon Girl spoke: “Brother Feifan, I think we’ve hit a dead end. Such an important thing, Zhan Tianya certainly wouldn’t hide it in Cloudwater Sect’s public area; we might as well pay attention to some forbidden areas, like that spiritual energy-rich peak.”

Following the Dragon Girl’s gaze, Ren Feifan noticed that indeed, atop that peak, there were strong formations!

Beyond the formations, six terrifyingly powerful individuals were stationed!
