Chapter 442: 442
The next day, Zhou Yuan prepared himself to head over to old Xuan’s place . However, moments after leaving the cave dwelling, he was intercepted by a disciple who told him to go to the Dao Seeker Hall .
A law enforcement elder was coming to Saint Genesis Peak to confirm the participants of the chief disciple selection .
Only by having one’s name recorded by the elder, would one officially be recognized as a participant of the selection .
After all, the chief disciple of each peak represented the true elites amongst their generation, a group from which the future elders of the sect would likely come from . Hence, the selection was an extremely significant event, which was very important to the sect .
Zhou Yuan naturally understood the importance of this matter, and thus decided to temporarily put aside his visit to old Xuan .
“Let’s go to the Dao Seeker Hall then . ” He cupped his fists together towards the messenger disciple in thanks .
Yaoyao also walked out carrying Tuntun at this moment and said, “I’ll also tag along to have a look . ”
Yaoyao was basically the most unique individual in the Cangxuan Sect . Till now, she was strictly speaking still not a disciple of any of the peaks . All the bosses were fighting over her, ultimately resulting in a deadlock without outcome .
Others may feel miserable about this situation, but Yaoyao preferred it somewhat . Hence, she did not raise any complaints and continued to maintain her unique status in the Cangxuan Sect .
Zhou Yuan naturally did not have any objections towards her decision, and brought Yaoyao along as they rushed to the Dao Seeker Hall .
By the time they arrived, the place was already filled with countless figures . The disciples from all three factions of Saint Genesis Peak were gathered here, making the place extremely lively .
Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao landed near Shen Taiyuan and the rest . The latter gave them a nod of acknowledgement upon seeing them .
Zhou Tai beckoned towards Zhou Yuan, to which the latter responded by coming over . His gaze looked towards the front where an elder with gray hair could be seen on the stone stage .
“That’s elder Lu, the one who will be acting as the judge for the upcoming chief disciple selection of our Saint Genesis Peak . He’s here today to confirm the participants of the selection, before reporting it to the sect master . ” Said Zhou Tai in a low voice .
Zhou Yuan faintly nodded, before his gaze shifted elsewhere . Elder Lu Song’s faction was nearby, but the one with the greatest presence was still the group directly opposite . . .
Elder Lu Hong stood at their head, while row after row of disciples stood behind him . Their numbers were even greater than the other two factions combined, creating an intimidating sight .
Elder Lu looked towards Shen Taiyuan, Lu Hong and Lu Song and said with a smile, “Since all three elders and their disciples are here, let me invite each faction to begin confirming the participants for the upcoming chief disciple selection . ”
The three elders nodded and walked forward .
“Three of my disciples will be participating this time . ” Elder Lu smiled and beckoned as three figures jumped onto the stage .
“Lu Yan, Deng Tong and Mu Shenglei . ”
Three figures stood on the stage with Lu Yan at their head . Her tall, slim figure and dashing aura making her quite an eye-catching sight .
This trio was extremely well known in Saint Genesis Peak, and were also the strongest amongst the disciples under Lu Song . Hence, no one was surprised that they were representing Lu Song’s faction .
Upon seeing this, Shen Taiyuan said, “There will also be three participants from my faction . ”
“Zhou Tai, Zhang Yan…” As he said their names, Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan landed on the stage, drawing numerous cheers . As the pillars of Shen Taiyuan’s disciples, these two individuals were indeed qualified to participate .
“And… Zhou Yuan . ”
However, it was no surprise that Shen Taiyuan’s last few words immediately caused whispers to spread . Besides his faction, the other disciples were clearly filled with confusion .
Although Zhou Yuan had been rapidly rising as a star in the sect for the past year, he was still a new disciple at the end of the day . Wasn’t he still lacking in experience to participate in an event such as this?
Under numerous gazes, Zhou Yuan calmly ascended the stage .
“They actually sent him to participate in the chief disciple selection?” Muttered Lu Yan as she looked over . Though she no longer looked down on Zhou Yuan, she still felt that he was not dependable enough to stand on this stage .
However, she did not say anything in the end . After all, this was an affair of Shen Taiyuan’s faction, and it would not affect her if Zhou Yuan ended up humiliating himself .
Lu Hong swept a glance at Zhou Yuan, before displaying a superficial smile to Shen Taiyuan . “Hehe, elder Shen, has the quality of your disciples really fallen so far? Aren’t you afraid that sending a fourth layer disciple to participate in the chief disciple selection will hurt your reputation?”
His words were clearly full of acidic sarcasticness .
Lu Hong’s words were also accompanied by roaring laughter from his disciples, while the expression of Shen Taiyuan’s disciples turned somewhat ugly .
Shen Taiyuan, however, remained expressionless as he responded, “This old face of mine isn’t worth much anyways, there is no need for elder Lu to worry on my behalf . ”
“I feel that you should be the one who should be careful instead . If something unexpected happens, it will likely not be as simple as losing face for you . ”
Peak master Ling Jun had spent a tremendous amount of effort and brainpower to shift elder Lu Hong’s to Saint Genesis Peak against the wishes of the majority . Their goal was clear; becoming the master faction of Saint Genesis Peak .
If Lu Hong failed, they would most definitely be recalled by peak master Ling Jun and become such a disgrace that they would likely no longer dare to raise their heads in the sect .
