Chapter 410
"Senior Brother Sun, you are back. What was the harvest of this trip?" Xu Yang walked over quickly.
Sun Tao looked back at Xu Yang, a look of sorrow appearing on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Jiang Ping has fallen."
Xu Yang saw the state of him and Zhang Yong and didn't see Jiang Ping's figure, so he had a premonition and said: "What happened?"
He had already sensed that Sun Tao and Zhang Yong's Qi was chaotic and they were seriously injured.
Two Gang Qi Major Success martial artists were seriously injured, and Jiang Ping, a half-crippled person of Gang Qi Minor Success, must be in bad luck.
He didn't have any feelings in his heart. His relationship with Jiang Ping was only improved because Sun Tao was in the middle.
Before Jiang Ping and Sun Tao got close, he and Jiang Ping basically didn't speak.
Zhang Yong said: "We encountered another group of treasure hunters in the mountains. The other party saw that our harvest was not small, so they wanted to rob us and we fought. Senior Brother Jiang Ping fell, and I joined forces with Senior Brother Sun to bring Zhang Hong out, escaping with our lives."
This is the cruelty in the Yunling Mountain Range; danger comes not only from exotic beasts but also from people.
That kind of place can be said to be more chaotic than Qingyang City. As long as you meet people, it doesn't matter who you are; you just rob and kill directly.
Sun Tao was full of killing intent: "I have already remembered the appearance of those beasts. When I reach Marrow Cleansing, I will definitely find them and kill them to avenge Senior Brother Jiang."
Zhang Yong sighed: "How difficult is Marrow Cleansing."
In the past, he was ambitious, thinking that he would be a Marrow Cleansing martial artist sooner or later.
But now, even Lu Ren has been stuck at Gang Qi Perfection for seven or eight months without reaching Marrow Cleansing. Who dares to say that they can reach Marrow Cleansing one hundred percent?
Xu Yang discovered that Sun Tao and Zhang Yong both emitted a sense of frustration, not as brave as before. In the past, every time they came back, they praised the Yunling Mountain Range as being full of treasures and that Xu Yang should also go and break through.
After chatting for a few more sentences, the two left to heal their injuries, and Xu Yang also returned to his room to cultivate.
After a few days, Sun Tao and Zhang Yong's state recovered somewhat, smiles began to appear on their faces, and fighting spirit reappeared on their bodies.
Both of them were people with iron-like minds. Although they suffered a blow, they couldn't be discouraged because of this.
Especially Zhang Yong, who crawled out of the mud like Xu Yang, his heart toward martial arts was extremely firm. Jiang Ping's matter was more about sadness and self-blame for them, not fear.
Time passed, and the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect outside began to return gradually. The number of people in the outer sect increased significantly, and the discussion about the outer sect competition never stopped.
This evening, the canteen was noisy.
Suddenly, someone saw Lu Ren beaming, walking in slowly from the outer sect.
At the same time, accompanied by a powerful pressure, a kind of power he couldn't master seemed to spread wantonly on his body, scaring those close to him into shock and retreating constantly.
"Lu Ren, you... you reached Marrow Cleansing?" someone asked boldly seeing this scene.
Lu Ren was high-spirited, his chin lifted slightly, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Not bad."
Boom!
Once these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap on flat ground, making everyone who heard it tremble in their hearts.
Lu Ren, without family support, actually reached Marrow Cleansing by his own strength. His talent, I'm afraid, is really the sixth of the Ten Elites.
If Xie Zhan didn't have big family support, could he reach Marrow Cleansing at this time? I'm afraid it's not certain.
"Awesome!"
"Congratulations to Brother Lu for entering the hall of martial arts."
"Brother Lu, come and sit here; today's meal money is on me."
"Haha... Lu Marrow Cleansing, my Profound Heaven Sect has added another inner sect disciple."
"Brother Lu also reached Marrow Cleansing; this year's outer sect competition will be wonderful."
……
In an instant, no matter who looked down on Lu Ren before, they didn't skimp on flattery, and some even stood up to invite Lu Ren to go over and talk.
Lu Ren's smile grew stronger. He had long known that as long as he reached Marrow Cleansing, those who originally looked down on him would nod and bow in front of him like dogs.
He didn't care about these people, his gaze swept across the canteen, finally landed on a table, and then walked over and sat down.
"Are you here to show off to us?" Zhang Yong looked at Lu Ren with unkind expression.
A trace of hidden fear flashed in his eyes. The pressure emitted by the Marrow Cleansing cultivation made his heart feel like it was being pressed by a huge stone.
Knowing each other for more than three years, this was the first time he felt such unbearable pressure from Lu Ren.
Lu Ren shook his head: "You are not qualified for me to show off specifically. I heard that Senior Brother Jiang Ping was killed by someone. He once had a favor of knowing me. Tell me who did it, and I will take his head to sacrifice to Senior Brother Jiang Ping."
Zhang Yong showed a look of suspicion on his face: "Will you be so kind?"
Lu Ren's eyes turned cold, and the strong pressure pressed toward Zhang Yong: "This has nothing to do with you. Just tell me who did it."
Zhang Yong's face turned pale instantly and said: "There are five of them in total, calling themselves the Five Tigers of the Profound Blade, and all five of them are Gang Qi Major Success cultivation."
Lu Ren nodded, didn't get up, and continued: "If you were willing to follow me at the beginning, there wouldn't be today's matter. Do you have any regrets now?"
Zhang Yong's breathing stagnated, and he let out a cold snort: "We don't want to be betrayed twice."
A sharp light flashed in Lu Ren's eyes. Zhang Yong was really stubborn.
He didn't pay attention to Zhang Yong anymore, his gaze swept to Xu Yang and said: "You were as amazing as me at the beginning, even more so. Now I have reached Marrow Cleansing; what about you?"
You just reached Marrow Cleansing; Xu Yang reached Marrow Cleansing eighteen years ago.
Sun Tao almost couldn't help but roar this out to see what Lu Ren's reaction would be, but he held back.
Xu Yang sat up straight, showing a half-smiling expression: "Are you so sure that I am behind you?"
Zhang Yong's pupils contracted suddenly. Xu Yang reached Marrow Cleansing?
Lu Ren's expression changed slightly, remembering the fear Xu Yang brought when he first practiced martial arts. Every time he broke through, the most fearful thing was that Xu Yang would also follow closely behind.
Possessing more resources, yet he could never shake off Xu Yang, and every time it made him look like a waste.
But he soon calmed down: "You just pretend here. The outer sect competition is coming soon, and everything will be revealed. I will win the top three and worship into the inner sect. If you are still so unenterprising, you will never catch up with me."
Personally experiencing the difficulty of Marrow Cleansing, he didn't believe that Xu Yang, with his C-minus innate talent, could reach Marrow Cleansing so quickly. Xu Yang was just holding on.
"Don't be so afraid; I'm scaring you!" Xu Yang smiled.
Lu Ren's breathing stagnated. This bastard was actually talking nonsense here.
"If you think it through, you can come to me at any time. I have always remembered that friendship," Lu Ren left a sentence and got up to leave.
"How much credibility do his words have?" Sun Tao said.
He hesitated. Jiang Ping's matter could happen once and there would be a second time. Xu Yang was unwilling to enter the Yunling Mountain Range. With a Marrow Cleansing expert together, the safety would inevitably increase greatly.
Most importantly, since Lu Ren planned to avenge Senior Brother Jiang Ping, perhaps they misunderstood Lu Ren before.
After all, as Lu Ren said, he was just a follower cultivated by the Gu family for Gu Haoming, and he might not have the right to speak in the Sharp Wind Hall.
Zhang Yong was silent for a while and said: "I don't know either!"
He was also somewhat shaken. Looking at Lu Ren's appearance, he should really intend to avenge Jiang Ping and repay the favor of knowing him at the beginning.
So, Lu Ren is not an ungrateful white-eyed wolf?
Sun Tao saw that Zhang Yong had no answer here, turned to look at Xu Yang and said: "What does Junior Brother Xu think?"
Xu Yang was burying his head in eating, and when he heard this, he raised his head: "It's just re-establishing a persona. Everyone knows he is ungrateful and doesn't dare to be close to him.
If he can slaughter the person who killed Senior Brother Jiang Ping, Lu Ren will immediately become a person who knows gratitude and repays it, and his reputation will be reversed all of a sudden."
Zhang Yong was trembling with anger: "What a beast, Senior Brother Jiang Ping's death is actually being used to restore his reputation."
Sun Tao felt a lingering fear: "I almost fell for his trick."
……
The outer sect became more lively because of Lu Ren's breakthrough.
The top three, which originally had no suspense, became controversial. Some people felt that Lu Ren could defeat Xie Zhan last year, and he could do it this year too.
Others felt that Lu Ren broke through a month later than Xie Zhan, so he might not be able to beat Lu Ren.
The main arguments were old disciples. The new batch of Denglong disciples didn't know much about the old disciples. They were mainly curious about how many of the Ten Elites geniuses of their batch dared to sign up for this outer sect competition.
"Brother Qiao, will you participate in the competition?" Ma Yong looked at Qiao Yong curiously.
This Ten Elites first place had already reached Gang Qi Minor Success and could be considered qualified to participate in the outer sect competition. ===== CHAPTER 411 =====
