Chapter 629: The Suspicion

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

The Shang Qing Sect was one of the three major forces of Yuezhou. It had a history of tens of thousands of years and was a truly historical Sect.

The Sect had as many powerhouses as there are clouds. The number of elders who were active and elders who isolated themselves behind doors was also extremely large in number. However, what made this Sect so famous wasn’t a single person. It was two shocking heavenly treasures.

One of them was their legendary treasure, the second one was their protective array.

The Array of the Astonished Gods.

This array was without a doubt, one of the legendary heavenly arrays. Its capabilities were so terrifying that it could shock people to their core. Legend had it that if this array activates, then a completion leveled cultivator alone can defend against the attack of an original-leveled cultivator!

If an original cultivator hosted, then he could defend against the fifth leveled powerhouse. Just how dominating was this?

Its power was insane!

A few days ago, however, the Array of the Astonished Gods had a little problem and wasn’t working properly like normal. In other words, this array that was famous throughout Yuezhou had broken down.

This panicked everyone in charge of the Shang Qing Sect. Apparently, the elders in isolation were starting to show themselves.

Plus, the grandmaster of the Shang Qing Sect had no solutions to this problem. The other masters of arrays here also all shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing they could do.

Therefore, those in charge of the Shang Qing Sect were in more of haste. All they could think of was how to fix this array.

Therefore, after Yu Wu Xiu heard the news, all the Shang Qing Sect management gathered and waited for her arrival.

Currently, in the meeting hall, eight people sat. All of them were exuding terrifying energy that was twisting up the space.

One person was sitting in the center seat. His body was wrapped around by a murky wave of energy and his face couldn’t be seen clearly. However, the pair of eyes that were revealed was sparkling like a star, and sharp like a sword. Nobody dared to look at him in the eyes.

It was the Supreme Headmaster of the Shang Qing Sect, Ji Qian Bai.

Legend had it that he had been defeated a thousand times. However, after the one-thousandth time, he had never lost even again. He was a true legend.

Below him, the four peak leaders were suspending in midair, looking like untouchable Buddhas that shouldn’t be bugged.

Other than the four peak leaders, three of the other path leaders also came. However, their temperament wasn’t as scary as the four peak leaders and could not match up to Ji Qian Bai’s. Despite this, nobody dared to look down on them.

Because all of them were grandmasters!

One should know that the position of a grandmaster was extremely honorable. Even those of the original level have to treat them with respect.

“I am late. Thank you for waiting.”

A clear voice suddenly rang. Yu Wu Xiu was looking like a descending fairy, extraordinary and alluring.

Behind him, Ling Xian was marching forward softly and followed her all the way into the hall as he checked out the eight terrifying people.

“So they are all people I know.”

Sighing, Ling Xian anticipated that since he was at the Shang Qing Sect, he would for sure meet these eight important figures. However, he didn’t think that on his first day, he would meet the four peak leaders and on his second day, he would meet the Supreme Headmaster and the grandmasters.

Seeing that Yu Wu Xiu was walking over, all eight rose out of their seats and paid their respect.

“Good to see you, your highness.”

“There is no need for that. You are all seniors to me, there is no need to be so respectable towards a junior.” Yu Wu Xiu smiled gently.

Ling Xian wasn’t surprised at this.

Because Yu Wu Xiu was the direct descendant of one of the original creators of this Sect and she possessed some strange power, her position in the Shang Qing Sect was said to be a highness, equivalent to the Supreme Headmaster position.

Therefore, even when the elders saw her, they had to be respectable and careful.

“It’s what we are supposed to be.”

Ji Qian Bai faintly grinned before placing his gaze on Ling Xian. However, after merely one glance, he frowned.

The four peak leaders and the three grandmasters frowned as well.

They had extremely profound cultivation levels. After merely one look, they were able to identify Ling Xian’s cultivation.

Plus, the four peak leaders had just seen Ling Xian and knew that he was a newly admitted pupil. And why would a newly admitted pupil be able to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods? Wouldn’t that be news?

At this, Yu Wu Xiu smiled, knowing that these important figures didn’t like Ling Xian.

When she first saw him, she also didn’t think this young man would possess such terrifying knowledge with arrays.

Ling Xian also knew that the leaders didn’t think much of him. But this kind of things need actions to speak. If he could fix the Array of the Astonished Gods, who could question him?

“So you were saying, you have a candidate for someone who could possibly fix the array?”

Ji Qian Bai frowned and his stern eyes were staring straight at Ling Xian, causing much stress.

However, Ling Xian acted like he wasn’t feeling it. He said without fear, “I am Xian Ling, I am one of the newly admitted pupils.”

“You are the one who rejected the four peak leaders and chose the Path of Craft?”

Ji Qian Bai smiled, and the other three grandmasters smiled as well.

They had heard of what happened and naturally, they were interested in who this person was.

“It is me. I am also the candidate the highness chose.” Ling Xian’s expression was calm and was not at all affected by people’s laughter.

“Interesting.”

Ji Qian Bai shook his head and grinned, “A Heaven’s Favorite gifted with cultivation skills decided to go into the Path of Craft and now comes here to try and fix an array. You sure are an interesting fella.”

Pausing, he continued, “However, there is no way you can fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. You better go back quietly.”

The four peak leaders and the three grandmasters kept on chuckling, not at all believing that a twenty-something-year-old young man could fix the powerful array.

The array grandmaster especially, had called out the other grandmasters and studied the array for a long time and did not find a solution. Why would they think Ling Xian could do it?

However, all of these people were important and powerful figures. They would never laugh at Ling Xian. It was just that the unconfident looks revealed through their gaze were more impactful than actual mockery.

This made Ling Xian frown, but he didn’t say anything. He understood what these people were thinking. After all, he was far too young and it was hard for him to persuade others.

Understanding, however, doesn’t retreat.

Since nobody believed him, then he needed to speak with facts! Then, nobody would be able to question him!

Therefore, Ling Xian stepped forward one step and uttered out a word that extremely presumptuous.

“Headmaster, if you give me a chance, I will for sure get rid of this problem for the Shang Qing Sect.”

At this, everyone laughed.

It wasn’t that they were taunting him, it was that they felt like Ling Xian was being immature.

They didn’t believe he had the ability to fix the Array of Astonished God. They merely thought he was being childish and was angry.

However, perhaps because they had the attitude that they might as well try, or that they found Ling Xian was interesting, Ji Qian Bai didn’t stop him.

He looked at the ordinary looking young man and smiled, “If you persist, then I can give you a chance.”

“That alone is enough. I will convince you all with facts.” Ling Xian’s lips curled up and revealed a complex smile.

There was happiness, sarcasm, and coldness.

Since nobody believed him, he now must use facts to speak, and to slap everyone in the face!
