Chapter 1814: Chapter 1808: I Won’t Make Things Difficult for You

"Such incredible speed!"

Even the other outer sect disciples watching from the sidelines couldn’t clearly see Zhang Menglong’s movements. To them, it seemed like Zhang Menglong had almost instantly teleported in front of his opponent, and in the next moment, the opponent was already sent flying.

The outer sect disciple named Fei Li was dumbfounded, because this kind of speed was something he hadn’t seen even among many Inner Sect Disciples, or even Core Disciples! At least, when facing those Inner Sect Disciples, he could still catch a glimpse of an afterimage; could it be that this apprentice disciple’s speed had already surpassed even an apprentice disciple?

How is this possible!

"Senior Brother Fei Li!" The person who had just looked up the relevant information poked Fei Li in the back.

"Don’t bother me!" Fei Li didn’t even bother to turn his head; he was already feeling a bit restless internally.

"Senior Brother Fei Li, there’s something I have to tell you... We might not be able to afford to offend this guy..."

"What is there to be afraid of from an apprentice disciple? Even if he were the King of some kingdom, before our Sunset Sect, he’s no different than an ant."

"Senior Brother Fei Li, his name is Gu Xiao, and he’s ranked first on the Heavenly Prides list of this superpower recruitment examination!"

"So he is indeed the first!" Upon hearing this, Fei Li’s expression eased up a bit. "No wonder he’s so arrogant, and his strength is completely beyond the average apprentice disciple. Generally, the first place in each session tends to be a bit abnormal."

"But so what if he’s first? He’s just at the eighth grade of Divine Breath. No matter how abnormal, given his realm and age, how strong could he possibly be?"

"At that time, all the superpowers extended an olive branch to him, even promising him the title of Core Disciple or even Direct Disciple, but he rejected them all!"

"He rejected all of them?" Fei Li had never heard of anyone receiving such treatment; what kind of monster must one be for so many forces to extend such conditions to recruit Zhang Menglong?

"And that’s not even the most important thing," the outer sect disciple continued, "When he finally chose a sect, he had a severe conflict with the Divine Profound Hall. A Divine Profound Hall Elder even ordered a Core Disciple to kill him on the spot!"

"What did you say?"

Fei Li’s entire body trembled.

To have a Core Disciple kill Gu Xiao? Then why is he still alive and well now? Was he saved by an elder from the Sunset Sect?

It doesn’t make sense! To his knowledge, these superpowers are very concerned about their face, and generally, it is impossible for different people to attack juniors in public. The elders of the Divine Profound Hall did not directly take action against Zhang Menglong, and likewise, the elders of the Sunset Sect would not easily take action against a Divine Profound Hall Core Disciple.

"That Core Disciple used many of the Divine Profound Hall’s techniques, but all were countered by Gu Xiao one by one. Although the two did not fight to a decisive outcome, Gu Xiao used a Divine Profound Hall technique to push the Core Disciple back several steps!"

"He pushed back a Core Disciple!?" Fei Li and the other outer sect disciples were shocked. Doesn’t this imply that Gu Xiao at least possesses strength on par with a Core Disciple of the Divine Profound Hall? In all the superpowers, the Core Disciples of the Divine Profound Hall, strength-wise, are not much different from the Direct Disciples of other superpowers.

No wonder he just said they couldn’t afford to offend this apprentice disciple; they truly can’t afford it!

If he really is as legendary as they say, even if a group of Inner Sect Disciples comes today, they might not be able to do anything to Zhang Menglong.

"Umm... Junior Brother Gu Xiao, I think there’s been some misunderstanding," Fei Li said, considering the situation, and quickly began to show weakness.

"You checked my background?" Zhang Menglong chuckled.

"Yes," Fei Li replied with a smiling face, "I didn’t expect Junior Brother Gu Xiao to be so extraordinarily talented, so much so that even those from the Divine Profound Hall can only bow their heads before you. This really brings great honor to our Sunset Sect."

"I guess," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "If it weren’t for them being too much, I wouldn’t want to cause trouble either."

"Of course, of course," Fei Li now regretted not looking into the details of this group of newcomers before setting out.

Not even having officially joined, and already capable of suppressing a Core Disciple of the Divine Profound Hall; in the Sunset Sect, wouldn’t only a Direct Disciple be capable of suppressing him?

A disobedient genius will indeed be suppressed, but if this genius begins with sharp fangs and no one suppresses them, then given even a little time, they will immediately shine with the brightest brilliance.

"Today, it was our mistake," Fei Li said, "We’ll leave right away and never come to disturb you again."

"Wait!" Zhang Menglong directly interrupted him, "Earlier, you wanted to give us a lesson, so what, now that the lesson isn’t over yet, you’re ready to leave?"

"Junior Brother Gu Xiao, you jest," Fei Li’s form of address for Zhang Menglong had now changed from junior brother to senior brother, "We just wanted to say hello to everyone; earlier was just a harmless joke."

"Shameless!"

"Who would believe that, treating us like fools?"

"If it weren’t for Senior Brother Gu, our contribution points would probably have been forcibly taken by now, right?"

"A bunch of opportunists, have the guts not to wimp out, let’s see how our Clan Leader teaches you a lesson!"

The apprentice disciples, seeing this situation, immediately stood straighter.

Even though they were just apprentice disciples, they had this awesome Clan Leader who could even repel a Core Disciple of the Divine Profound Hall; what are a bunch of outer sect disciples to them?

Even if a group of Inner Sect Disciples were to come and extort them now, as long as Zhang Menglong was present, they wouldn’t dare take a single contribution point from them.

"Really? Just a joke?" Zhang Menglong smirked sarcastically, "So, how are you brothers and sisters going to explain this to the Inner Sect brothers? Is it really appropriate to let us go like this?"

"Rest assured, junior brother, we still have some savings," Fei Li continued to speak submissively, "If the Inner Sect brothers and sisters come to collect contribution points, we’ll cover it for everyone!"

"Really? You brothers and sisters are very generous," Zhang Menglong calculated, "50 points per person, and there are more than 8000 of us here, that’s 400,000 points. You brothers and sisters sure have a lot in savings."

Fei Li started to sweat on his forehead.

Indeed, they were exploited by Inner Sect Disciples, but their task was merely to collect 50,000 contribution points from these apprentice disciples, yet they had raised the amount by eight times!

Apprentice disciples came in cycles every 3 to 5 years, most were eliminated, and a small portion became outer sect disciples. With this accumulation over time, the number of outer sect disciples was actually very large; this group was just representing them.

If they really couldn’t complete the task given by their senior brothers, they could only pay out of their own pockets, but given the length of time they’d been around, raising 50,000 contribution points would be a breeze.

"Alright, I won’t make it difficult for you," Zhang Menglong said, "You said just now you were here to visit us apprentice disciples, right?"

"Yes, yes." Fei Li really thought Zhang Menglong was being easygoing.

"Since you’re here to see us, it’s not appropriate to come empty-handed, right?" Zhang Menglong extended his hand, "We’re not asking for much, just a 100-point contribution gift per person to meet us!"
