As the experience in the Mythic Utopia came to an end, news of the final result had also spread throughout almost all of the Shengzhou Continent in just a few days of time. After all, the participants included almost all the outstanding talents of the younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven.
Being able to stand out in apetition of this level was enough to illustrate one’s talent. In time, people who stood out might be one of the renowned top experts of Cangxuan Heaven.
It was just that the results surprised everybody.
After all, the Sacred Pce was at the peak of its power, and all these years, they had always been called the leader of the numerous sects of Cangxuan Heaven, whether it was based on the sect’s strength or the talent of their younger generation.
In the past, it was the Sacred Pce that had repeatedly taken the top spot and had the most dazzling performance in the Mythic Utopia.
But this time, the result was different. The Cangxuan Sect, which the Sacred Pce had always suppressed, had turned the tides, defeated the Sacred Pce, and won the greatest opportunity in the Mythic Utopia.
This result, no doubt, drew countless exmations.
And the details about what happened in the Mythic Utopia also gradually spread out.
Thus, many forces learnt that the decisive factor in the Cangxuan Sect’seback was not a Chosen but a chief disciple called Zhou Yuan!
And the three Chosen of the Sacred Pce who lost their lives, including Jin Chanzi, were killed by this chief disciple.
Such an aplishment was so dazzling that it made countless people bbergasted.
Evidently, no one thought the person who would stand out from the Mythic Utopia would be neither Jiang Taishen, who was ranked first on the Chosen List, nor Chu Qing, who was ranked second on the list, but an unknown little chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect.
However, everyone also knew that after such a performance, Zhou Yuan would no longer be a chief disciple after he returned to the Cangxuan Sect.
The Cangxuan Sect was indeed worthy of being called Cangxuan Heaven’s first sect. Although it had deteriorated, its foundation still mustn’t be underestimated.
At the Sacred Pce.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was cold and depressing.
d in a white robe, pce master Sheng Yuan sat at the top. His silver eyes, without the slightest rippling of emotion, peered down at the many Sacred Pce disciples kneeling in silence.
In front of these disciples were Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing.
All of them were disciples who had participated in the Mythic Utopia.
“You all have let me down,” pce master Sheng Yuan said after a long period of silence.
Many disciples were quivering, and Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing also hung their heads low.
“My Sacred Pce had started small and had eventually managed to kick the Cangxuan Sect off the first position of the Cangxuan Heaven and reced them. Even old ancestor Cangxuan, a top expert of the world, had died in the hands of my Sacred Pce,” pce master Sheng Yuan’s indifferent voice reverberated throughout the spacious and grand hall.
“My Sacred Pce didn’t lose to the Cangxuan Sect back then, and we had suppressed the Cangxuan Sect for many years, but you lost to them in the Mythic Utopia!” Pce master Sheng Yuan continued, “Is it because the Sacred Pce allowed you to live toofortably?”
No one dared to answer.
Pce master Sheng Yuan waved his hand. “All the disciples who participated in the Mythic Utopia will receive the punishment of one hundred sacred whips.”
The Sacred Pce disciples inside the hall instantly turned deathly pale. The so-called sacred whip was one of the Sacred Pce’s punishments, whichshed the spirit. Every strike of the whip was extremely painful.
Ifshed a hundred times, anybody with a slightly weaker spirit would most likely have their spirit destroyed. The punishment was very harsh.
“Jiang Taishen, Zhan Taiqing, as the leader of the disciples you should be held responsible. Both of you will receive five hundredshes,” pce master Sheng Yuan said indifferently, his silver eyes peering down at the two figures in the front. “Do you have any objections?”
Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing each drew a deep breath and nodded without arguing back. They knew that they wouldn’t be able to escape punishment after the defeat. Moreover, if they were to show the slightest resistance, there could be a more devastating punishment waiting for them.
Although pce master Sheng Yuan was seemingly calm, he presumably was furious inside.
Expressionless, pce master Sheng Yuan stared at them in silence for a moment, then he said, “Jiang Taishen, after the punishment, rest for a month. A monthter, there will be someone to challenge you. If you lose, hand over the position of first Chosen.”
Jiang Taishen was taken aback for a moment. Among the disciples of the Sacred Pce, nobody could defeat him, not even Zhan Taiqing.
Could it be that pce master Sheng Yuan intended to make one of the elders or guardians challenge me? That doesn’t make any sense, does it?
While Jiang Taishen was filled with puzzlement, a figure suddenly entered the hall. The figure was tall and very slender. d in a ck robe, there was bloody qi exuding from him as he strode over. And before he even got close, everybody could smell a sea of blood and a mountain of dead bodies, the smell being emitted from his body. Their hearts pounded with fear.
Jiang Taishen’s eyes slightly shrank when he saw the figure because he sensed a dangerous fluctuation of energy.
Many of the disciples of the Sacred Pce suspiciously studied the young man in the ck robe. He felt incredibly strange to them.
“He is Wu Huang, a disciple whom I have epted,” pce master Sheng Yuan stated indifferently when he noticed the bewilderment on their faces.
Many disciples felt their heart quiver when they heard this. He was a disciple personally epted by their pce master. It had been many years since something like that has happened. Even Jiang Taishen didn’t have such an honour.
“Wu Huang pays respect to all senior brothers and sisters.” Under the numerous gazes, the young ck-robed man bowed respectfully, appearing humble and polite.
Pce master Sheng Yuan looked at Jiang Taishen and asked, “One monthter, Wu Huang will challenge you. Will you ept it?”
Jiang Taishen withdrew his gaze from Wu Huang’s body. “How can I disobey the pce master’s order. In one month, I will take Wu Huang’s challenge.”
As the first Chosen of the Shengzhou Continent, he was naturally prideful. Among the young generation of the Cangxuan Heaven, even Chu Qing was no match for him. How would he attach any importance to other people?
Not even to Zhou Yuan, who had made them lose badly.
If it was a single match, Jiang Taishen had the confidence to kill him.
Pce master Sheng Yuan nodded. “All retreat to collect your punishment.”
The many disciples retreated one after another, their faces deathly pale and their eyes flickering with fear.
The great hall emptied very quickly.
“Jiang Taishen’s defeat indicates that his strength is stillcking. If a stronger Sacred Pce disciple appears and defeats him, it would suppress the rumours in the outside world that the Cangxuan Sect has a vast foundation,” pce master Sheng Yuan exined indifferently.
Immediately, he looked at Wu Huang below and said, “In a month’s time, if you can defeat Jiang Taishen, then your Great Wu can attack the Zhou.”
Wu Huang’s eyes suddenly lit up. He drew a deep breath and said with a cupped fist salute, “Disciple understands!”
He had been waiting for this day for too long!
“Do your best. I hope you won’t let me down.” Pce master Sheng Yuan’s figure gradually faded and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Huang bowed respectfully in the direction pce master Sheng Yuan had disappeared, and then he gazed into the distance, contempt shing across his eyes.
Zhou Yuan, do you think you’re very impressive after the Mythic Utopia?
That’s only because you just picked the weakest, Jin Chanzi.
If you had faced Jiang Taishen, you would most likely be dead.
I have been silent in the Sacred Pce for a long time, and now it is time to let the world know the name Wu Huang.
And from the strong enemies that you don’t dare to face, I will start with Jiang Taishen.
When you hear the news, perhaps the position of the first Chosen of the Shengzhou Continent will already belong to me, Wu Huang. At that time, how wonderful will your expression be?
I really, really, look forward to seeing it.
