Wang Chen easily advanced to become an inner disciple, and now he was officially one of them.“Master Xiang, I just returned and heard several rumors on my way here. What happened?” Wang Chen asked curiously.“Hah... people really love making up strange rumors.” Xiang Yue sighed. “I was merely attacked by a demonic cultivator, but I’ve already recovered. Somehow those bizarre rumors spread everywhere. You shouldn’t believe whatever rumors you hear, Wang Chen.”“The rumors spread so quickly even though the sect already announced the truth. Someone must be deliberately spreading them, right?” Wang Chen still found it strange that the disciples kept talking about it.“This kind of thing happens all the time. People enjoy gossiping, and rumors spread from mouth to mouth until the story slowly changes from its original version. Who knows, maybe later the rumor will even turn into the sect master being the culprit himself, hahaha.” Xiang Yue spoke jokingly.‘That does make sense, but it sti

Wang Chen’s residence in the inner court was far more spacious, and the house itself was much larger. But to Wang Chen, it made little difference whether it was big or small. He walked around the residence, inspecting every corner of the place.“This residence is truly comfortable. Even the air feels refreshing because of those special trees that bring cool winds into the estate.” Wang Chen looked at the trees surrounding the residence, their leaves not particularly dense.Western Wind Trees, trees capable of absorbing heat and releasing cool air. Meanwhile, when the weather turned cold, they would emit warmth instead, making the residence extremely comfortable to live in.Wang Chen turned to the side, where the residences of other inner disciples could also be seen. Walls surrounded each residence, and within a hundred meters stood the homes of the other inner disciples.But Chu Yan’s residence was not among them. Their residences were no longer next to each other like before.“I can

Wang Chen accepted the mission given by Xiang Yue. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to accept it, even though he had no intention of truly obeying Xiang Yue’s orders.Xiang Yue explained several details regarding the mission. Wang Chen had to gather at the sect gate tomorrow at noon, when the sun was at its peak.As for what kind of beast they would be hunting, even Xiang Yue did not know. Qin Hutian would explain it once everyone had gathered later. But no matter what kind of beast it was, Xiang Yue ordered Wang Chen to make as many members of their team die as possible, no matter what method he used.And among all the inner disciples of the Bamboo Martial Courtyard, only Wang Chen would be carrying out this mission.“Very well, Master Xiang Yue, then I shall take my leave.” Wang Chen cupped his fists before immediately leaving Xiang Yue’s residence.He felt relieved that he could finally get away from this woman after she had kept writhing against his body like a worm.‘Hmph, I r

After recovering their strength, Qin Hutian led all of his team members toward the Hazhe Forest.Upon arriving at the outer area of the forest, they could all sense the presence of a powerful cultivator ahead of them, and they immediately realized it was Qin Liu Yin, the imperial princess and Qin Hutian’s older sister.“You finally came. I was already getting bored from waiting,” Qin Liu Yin approached them.“Haha, sorry, Sis,” Qin Hutian smiled casually. “They’re the team members I recruited.”“Greetings, Princess Qin.” Everyone immediately bowed respectfully.“Hm, you all look promising. Well, I won’t doubt the disciples of the Starry Sky Sect.” Qin Liu Yin nodded as she looked over the faces of every team member, memorizing them.However, Qin Liu Yin’s gaze stopped when she saw a familiar face among the crowd—Wang Chen.‘Isn’t he…’ Qin Liu Yin remembered that young man, the one she had encountered before at the Golden Sun Pavilion, the young man who had been together with Su Xianli

Qin Hutian had no idea exactly how many Red Demon Wasps were inside this nest, but one thing was certain—there were an enormous number of them.Because of that uncertainty, he divided his forces into two groups, though they did not separate from each other.The first group was led directly by Qin Hutian along with twenty-five other members, while the second group was led by Jia Huan with another twenty-five members.The first group would continuously deal with all the incoming wasps, while the second group stayed behind. Once the first group became exhausted, the second group would step forward.This way, they could fight far more efficiently. If all of them fought at once, then once their Qi began to run dry while the wasps continued pouring in endlessly, they could all be slaughtered together.Although Qin Liu Yin could ensure their safety, if his younger sister consumed too much energy before facing the Red Demon Wasp Queen while they still did not know how powerful the queen was,
