Asura Mad Emperor

Upon hearing Qinchuan's response, Zhou Yuanyi's face suddenly changed.

"And what about the Barbarian Insect Valley?"

"Located at the extreme south of the Wildlands..."

Zhou Yuanyi took a deep breath and looked at Qinchuan with eyes filled with astonishment.

He was right again!

That meant, everything this guy had said earlier might also be true!

In the hall, the others who saw the change in Zhou Yuanyi's expression also felt a jolt in their hearts, realizing that everything Qinchuan had just said might indeed be correct.

"No way, is this guy not just boasting?!"

"He actually knows all these things, even more than Elder Zhou?!"

"How is that possible, he's only sixteen years old, where did he learn all this?!"

The disciples of the Taixuan Sect were all shocked and incredulous.

Zhou Yuanyi too stared fixedly at Qinchuan, took another deep breath to suppress his shock, and said solemnly, "I came to know these pieces of information by chance, how did you come to learn about them? And even more comprehensively than I do?!"

Qinchuan shook his head and chuckled lightly, not taking it seriously at all. He said, "What's so great about that? These are just common knowledge, many geographical Ancient Books mention them. I don't blame you for not knowing, just read more when you go back. Next time you boast about roaming the world, at least you'll have something to back it up!"

"You!"

Zhou Yuanyi was instantly infuriated.

This guy was too arrogant!

He snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing as he said, "Is that so? Geographical Ancient Books? I'll have you know, I too enjoy reading Ancient Books, and I've read quite a few geographical ones. But why have I never come across such records in any of them?"

"Which geographical Ancient Book are you referring to?"

Qinchuan, as if just realizing, said, "Oh, I forget that your Taixuan Sect has only been established for a few years, and it has never produced even one Great Emperor in its ranks. It's no wonder that your foundation is thin, and not surprising that even a Great Elder like you is so ignorant."

"What did you say?! Young man, do you really think I have no temper? How dare you belittle my Taixuan Sect!"

Zhou Yuanyi immediately glared thunderously, his eyes flashing coldly, wishing he could slap the annoying brat in front of him to death.

Qinchuan looked at him disdainfully and laughed, "You're quite old, after all; can you not be a little more composed? I merely stated the truth. You just said you enjoy reading some geographical Ancient Books. But your Taixuan Sect's foundation is too shallow. However, my Congyun Sect has accumulated countless Ancient Books. Since you like geographical Ancient Books, why don't you join my Congyun Sect?"

"You can have a look at all the various geographical Ancient Books we have in the Congyun Sect."

Veins throbbed on Zhou Yuanyi's forehead.

This damned brat!

He was even trying to entice him to join the Congyun Sect?

A faltering Imperial Dao Sect.

They were even close to losing the name of being one of the six Superior Sects of Shanhe County.

He'd have to be brain-damaged to betray the now thriving Taixuan Sect, which had risen to the top of the six Superior Sects in Shanhe County, to join the sinking Congyun Sect!

As for those Ancient Books in Congyun Sect?

When the Taixuan Sect annihilates the Congyun Sect, wouldn't those Ancient Books be his to peruse anyway?

At this moment, he was no longer questioning how Qinchuan came to learn about the information that not even he knew.

After all, the Congyun Sect once was an Imperial Dao Sect and had once dominated a region; naturally, it had some heritage.

Holding a few more comprehensive geographical Ancient Books was nothing to brag about.

Yet what he didn't know was that the higher-ups of the Congyun Sect were all puzzled and looking at each other, each with a question mark forming on their foreheads.

Does our Congyun Sect really have such an Ancient Book?

Uh...

No!

Even if my Congyun Sect really does have such an Ancient Book.

You, as a disciple who has just joined our Congyun Sect and has never even entered the Scripture Pavilion,

when did you browse through that Ancient Book?!

Upon this thought, Wu Tian and the others couldn't help but reveal a sharp look in their eyes as their gaze fell upon Qinchuan.

This kid… actually dared to sneak into the prohibited area of the Scripture Pavilion of our Congyun Sect!

However, at this moment, Wu Tian and the others naturally would not dwell on this.

Seeing the Great Elder of the Taixuan Sect, Zhou Yuanyi, repeatedly suffer setbacks at Qinchuan's hands, Wu Tian and the others felt an invigorating sense of relief, expelling the frustration they had felt before.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Invigorating.

"Hehe, fellow Taoist Zhou, regarding this matter of our disciples' exchange and sparring, do you think we should continue?"

Wu Tian smugly said, taking advantage of the situation.

Zhou Yuanyi's face immediately turned as dark as pitch upon hearing this, and he took a deep breath before speaking, "No need. Your Sect's disciple called Qinchuan does indeed have some skills. The few disciples I've brought with me are merely here to gain some experience and do not represent the truly astonishing talents of my Taixuan Sect.

"Since this young friend will also enter the Myriad Spirit Garden, at that time, the truly astonishing talents of my Taixuan Sect will naturally have a good exchange and competition with him!"

Zhou Yuanyi said in a heavy voice, his tone no longer feigning the friendliness of before. Enjoy new tales from empire

"However..."

"Having witnessed the exchange between our disciples, I feel somewhat itchy for a challenge myself. I wonder if my fellow Taoists here would be kind enough to impart some lessons?"

Zhou Yuanyi spoke up, actually directly challenging the elders of the Congyun Sect, seeking to regain face through this.

Of course, regaining face was just a side benefit.

His real purpose was to test the depth of the Congyun Sect's reserves.

Wu Tian's expression subtly changed as he spoke, "Your request, fellow Taoist, is somewhat excessive!"

"Hehe, we cultivators meet with martial arts; it's the most normal thing. How could you say it's excessive?"

Zhou Yuanyi chuckled, then with a change of tone, he goaded, "As a once-great Imperial Dao Sect, I presume the Congyun Sect wouldn't possibly have no one capable of accepting a challenge, right?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuanyi's words, the high-level members of the Congyun Sect immediately showed difficult expressions.

At this point in the conversation, they had been backed into a corner with no room to refuse.

Being directly challenged like this was already a blow to the prestige of the Congyun Sect.

If they dared not even accept a challenge now, how could the once-mighty Imperial Dao Sect not become a complete joke?

Once news of this spread, how could they still hold their ground in Shanhe County?

More importantly, once word got out, other Superior Sects might truly come to believe that the Congyun Sect had declined to the point where no one could accept a challenge!

At that time, what awaited the Congyun Sect could very well be the Superior Sects pouncing upon them, ready to tear them apart!

But, accepting the challenge and losing would similarly bring shame to the Congyun Sect!

And it would make it easier for the Taixuan Sect to gauge the current depth of the Congyun Sect!

Zhou Yuanyi, since he dared to issue such a challenge, clearly came prepared.

And the elders of the Congyun Sect were also keenly aware of the strong threat emanating from Zhou Yuanyi.

Zhou Yuanyi was stronger than he had been in the past!

They did not have much confidence that they could suppress the opponent!

At this moment, for the Congyun Sect, it was indeed a dilemma of whether to advance or to retreat.

If they accepted the challenge, the elders had no assurance of victory.

If they refused the challenge, it would only make the outside world look down on the Congyun Sect even more!

What decision should they make?
