Chapter 82: The Backer and the Scheming Su Wan'er
The Tianyuan Sect's "Ten Thousand Nests Peak," taking the meaning of ten thousand birds returning to their nests, has seven small peaks clustered together, guarding the twelve main peaks in the depths.
On "Ten Thousand Nests Peak," there are rows of brick and tile houses, stretching as far as the eye can see, where fifty thousand outer sect disciples reside.
There is a complete management system here, where fifty thousand disciples must complete daily tasks such as cultivating medicinal fields, mining ores, raising spiritual beasts, refining low-level pills, and refining low-level spiritual artifacts.
The hierarchy among disciples is strict, with general managers, managers, and vice-managers; every step is an insurmountable chasm, and it's normal for someone to die or be buried occasionally!
"The sect is far from as simple as it looks on the surface. Except for the two hundred experts on the Heaven and Earth Rankings, who can ignore everything, kill heaven, kill earth, and kill the air, protected by elders and respected by juniors,
the remaining seventy or eighty thousand outer sect, inner sect, and true transmission disciples are just a world of intrigue, playing with each other.
Without schemes, unable to outplay others, and without a backer, you're just waiting to be played to death..."
In an elegantly decorated room, a table of wine and food was set, with eight meat dishes, eight vegetable dishes, one soup, and aged burning knife liquor.
Ma Xiaohua introduced this to Heng Xian while eating and drinking, then pointed to a blue-clothed outer sect disciple manager standing in the corner: "His name is Xing Guang, and he is protected by our junior sister and brother. He manages a medicinal field and thirty-nine ordinary outer sect disciples here, and the perks are decent.
This meal is his tribute to us, and he also pays some spirit crystals every month, which counts as our black income to hide from Master. You must not tell on us!"
Heng Xian actually felt that sponging a meal was a bit degrading, and said: "The three of us, senior sister and junior brother, are connected in heart; saying too much is empty!"
"Junior Brother is a wonderful person!" Ma Xiaohua smiled.
At this time, Xing Guang in the corner, seeing that he could interject, immediately wore a flattering smile and stepped forward to kowtow to Heng Xian:
"Greetings, Senior Brother Heng. Senior Brother Heng is handsome, unrestrained, and has an extraordinary temperament. Your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, soaring into the sky, and you will kill everyone on the Earth and Heaven Rankings!"
Heng Xian nodded and asked curiously: "What is the story behind the Heaven and Earth Rankings?"
Ye Batian explained: "It's a ranking list created by the sect to encourage disciples' cultivation hearts!
The Earth Ranking of one hundred is a competition list for inner sect disciples and true transmission disciples from the Qi Hai Realm Seventh Tier to the Initial Yuan Dan Realm!
Those who can make the list are all ruthless, scheming, and exceptionally talented people.
And the Heaven Ranking is a competition list for disciples above the Yuan Dan Realm or even in the Nascent Soul Realm. Those on the list are all monstrous geniuses who can compete with other sects.
Our Tianyuan Sect's Heaven Ranking experts can rank in the top three in the entire Eastern Region cultivation world."
Heng Xian asked: "Do the disciples have such high cultivation levels?"
Ma Xiaohua said: "There are many people with extraordinary aptitude, and many people whose realms improve rapidly, but it becomes very slow once they reach the Yuan Dan stage.
Moreover, those on the Heaven Ranking, although called disciples, have actually been in the sect for decades or even a hundred years, and now there are only nine Nascent Soul stage ones!"
Heng Xian nodded: "Then, are Senior Brother and Senior Sister on the Earth or Heaven Ranking?"
Ma Xiaohua was extremely embarrassed: "I'm only at the Qi Hai Realm Sixth Tier and can't beat those on the list. Senior Sister is at the Qi Hai Realm Ninth Tier,
and she made it to the top 100 of the Earth Ranking last year, but she was beaten down after occupying it for three days."
Ye Batian coughed.
The topic was not very pleasant, so the three of them simply started eating and drinking.
Halfway through the meal, a rough roar suddenly came from outside: "Xing Guang, you bastard, the green worms in your medicinal field have crawled into my field. Are you looking for death?"
Xing Guang, who was serving on the side, changed his expression and strode out, furious: "Zhang Dazui, don't you dare be shameless.
My three senior brothers and sisters are here as guests today. If you disturb them, I'll take your life!"
The rough roar outside said disdainfully: "Do you think I was scared growing up?"
Heng Xian looked at Ma Xiaohua and Ye Batian.
Ma Xiaohua sighed leisurely: "Once you become someone's backer, you naturally have to stand up for them. Everyone has this kind of interest-related relationship. No way around it, let's go out and see."
The three got up and walked out.
Outside stood more than a dozen people, all with Acquired, Innate, and Qi Condensation cultivation. The leader was a fat man wearing a blue manager's uniform, who was arguing with Xing Guang.
Seeing Heng Xian and the other two come out in true transmission disciple robes, they were startled and knelt down one after another, their bodies trembling: "G-Greetings, three senior brothers and sisters!"
Xing Guang turned around and saluted with a look of grievance: "Junior Brother is incompetent, disturbing the three senior brothers and sisters' meal!"
"Heh! Really bold..." Ma Xiaohua took out his imperial aura and stepped forward to scold them.
Heng Xian watched awkwardly, thinking of Su Wan'er. He wondered where this girl was and if she was being wronged?
He opened the "Xuanhuang Heavenly Hexagram" to calculate slightly and walked to one side.
Walking forward along the bluestone mountain road among the dense buildings, the outer sect disciples were dark and dense all the way.
Whether it was the fierce-looking black-clothed general manager, the cunning blue-clothed small manager, or the green-clothed ordinary disciple, they all gave way, bowed, and were very respectful.
This is the benefit of being a true transmission disciple!
After walking about ten miles, he arrived behind a building on another small peak. Heng Xian tapped his toes, climbed onto the roof, and looked down from the ridge.
He saw three people standing in the room.
A blue-clothed young man with a face full of flesh, plus Xue Jiao'er and Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er and Xue Jiao'er were both wearing green outer sect disciple robes. The two were already good-looking, and this contrast made them even more pretty and lovely.
Xue Jiao'er was snuggling up to the young man at this time, pointing at Su Wan'er: "Senior Brother Wang, this bitch is the maid of my enemy. She is a born bitch, from a brothel, and has dirtied the threshold of our Tianyuan Sect."
Su Wan'er's face was pale, kneeling in the corner, saying nothing.
Xue Jiao'er became more angry and hateful as she spoke. She walked to Su Wan'er's side and spat: "People like you deserve to die. I can't beat Heng Xian, but can't I play you to death?"
Heng Xian frowned.
At this moment, he saw Su Wan'er raise her head and look at the young man, a tear hanging from the corner of her eye, pitiful and extremely delicate: "Senior Brother Wang, she talks like this... I'm so scared."
The young man was stunned, a trace of unbearable expression appearing on his face.
Xue Jiao'er was furious: "You bitch, dare to bewitch Senior Brother Wang!"
Su Wan'er sniffed, her green shirt fell a little, revealing her snow-white fragrant shoulders, looking even more pitiful: "Senior Brother Wang, she is so rude. She actually said I bewitched you. Senior Brother Wang is such a smart person..."
"You..." Xue Jiao'er still wanted to scold.
"Slap!"
She was slapped heavily by the young man: "Bitch! I think it's you who are framing Junior Sister Su. Is Junior Sister Su that kind of person?"
Xue Jiao'er covered her face, unable to believe it: "You... hit me? You promised Ye Xiaoyao you would take care of me!"
After saying this, she turned and ran out.
"Senior Brother Wang" looked disdainful and gently helped Su Wan'er up: "Junior Sister Su, are you okay?"
A flush appeared on Su Wan'er's face, even more delicate: "I'm fine. I'm of thin willow quality, not worth Senior Brother's concern.
It's Senior Brother, if you are retaliated against by Xue Jiao'er and the others, I, I will feel heartache."
"Senior Brother Wang"'s expression softened: "Don't panic! I'll go deal with them!"
Saying this, he strode out.
Until he was far away, the delicacy on Su Wan'er's face disappeared. She patted her clothes, sat on the side, and drank green tea in a leisurely manner.
Heng Xian landed behind the house and coughed.
Su Wan'er looked out in surprise, her expression changed, and she quickly jumped out of the window, overjoyed: "Young Master!"
