Chapter 160: Selection (Part 2)

  The old man looked at the shocked expressions of everyone in the room and snorted coldly to himself, thinking: He's just an outer sect disciple!

  At this time, Wang Zhan and others who were standing in the queue also started to get anxious. Although they had confidence in Ye Chen and knew that he would break through to become a cultivator of the Gathering Qi realm, now all the cultivators of the Gathering Qi realm had registered, but Ye Chen hadn't arrived yet. Now Ye Chen had already fallen into the group of people who were going to take part in the trial, but when it was his turn, he still hadn't arrived.

  "Big brother, why hasn't Lao Si come yet?" Huo Feng furrowed his brow and asked Wang Zhan.

  Wang Zhan also furrowed his brow and said: "Could it be that Fourth Brother has encountered some trouble outside?"

  "No way! No way! Ye Chen has created too many miracles for us in this period of time! I believe he will definitely come!" Mo Tian, however, did not have the same tension as the other two. He believed in Ye Chen and was convinced that Ye Chen would definitely arrive.

  "Ye Chen! If you don't come, your qualification will be cancelled directly!" The old man looked around and saw no one coming forward, so he shouted again.

  "Ye Chen! Isn't he coming?" The old man frowned and immediately shouted: "Ye Chen is disqualified!"

  As soon as this was said, the whole scene was shocked again and whispered to each other.

  "Ye Chen, why didn't he come!"

  "Yes! Why didn't he come? Is he afraid?"

  "Who knows! But I guess they're probably scared!"

  "Impossible! Didn't you see him competing with Xu Fei last time? He could already withstand a blow from the Gathering Qi Realm back then, so why would he be afraid now?"

  "Me too! But why hasn't he arrived yet?"

  "Heaven knows, probably died outside. Or on his way here!"

  Wang Zhan furrowed his brow as he listened to the old man's words, and then nodded at Huo Feng and Mo Tian. The three of them walked out of the crowd directly, also nodding at Zhuge Wu Xin who was worried in the crowd. Then the four of them quickly left towards a distant place.

  Wang Zhan furrowed his brow tightly and ran while saying to Mo Tian beside him, "Second Brother, go to Fourth Brother's courtyard now! Inform Shen Xian and Mu Bing! If Ye Chen returns to the courtyard, quickly inform him and have him come over!"

  Mo Tian nodded and immediately turned around and sprinted towards Ye Chen's courtyard.

  "Lao San, go find Hong Changlao and explain the situation here. Ask him to come, hoping to help Lao Si gain some time!" Wang Zhan hastily said to Huo Feng.

  "Yes!"

  Huo Feng also hastily rushed off in another direction.

  "Old Five, you come with me and wait for Old Three at the foot of the mountain!"

  At this time, Ye Chen's eyebrows were also tightly furrowed, and he looked up at the sky. He then said to Liu Yuer, "Yuer, it's my fault this time. I think the selection is almost over!"

  Liu Yuer listened to Ye Chen's words, her eyebrows slightly raised as she said softly: "I will definitely make it on time, as long as it hasn't ended. Relying on my reputation, the person in charge of the selection this time will definitely give me some face. As for increasing the difficulty, it doesn't matter to you!"

  Ye Chen nodded and didn't say anything either.

  Liu Yuer's speed was extremely fast. Finally, after Ye Chen had been waiting for a long time, he finally saw the outline of Lianyun Mountain.

  Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, saying: "I've arrived! I, Ye Chen, have finally returned to Lianyun Sect once again!"

  Liu Yu'er smiled and shook her head, not saying anything out loud, but secretly thinking: Brother Chen, you were already restless when you were in the Fragmented Body Realm. Now that you've become an Eighth-Order Qi Gatherer, it won't be long before you reach the Yuan Dan Realm. I'm afraid this small Lianyun Sect will soon be thrown into chaos by you!

  "Big brother, don't you think one of those people walking in mid-air up there is Fourth Brother?"

  Zhuge's expression changed slightly, and he stared blankly at the sky, pointing at Ye Chen and his companion who were flying rapidly, and said in shock.

  Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan hastily lifted his head to gaze up at the sky, and then nodded blankly, saying in a disbelieving tone: "It seems so!"

  The two people flying in the sky also saw Wang Zhan and Zhuge Wu Xin, and Ye Chen immediately said to Liu Yu'er: "Yu'er, go down! They must be waiting for me here!"

  Upon hearing this, Liu Yuer nodded her head. After all, they had already arrived at Lianyun Sect, and the remaining distance would take only a moment to cover.

  The two of them immediately fell from the sky.

  "Big Brother, Old Five!" Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly as soon as he landed, running directly in front of the two.

  The two of them were awakened by Ye Chen's shouting and slowly came to.

  "Fourth Brother, can you fly through the air now? Doesn't that mean you've already become a cultivator of the Yuan Dan realm?"

  "Really? Fourth Brother, you won't really become a cultivator of the Yuan Dan realm, will you?"

  Ye Chen listened to their words and burst out laughing, saying: "I'm still early, it's Yu'er who brought me here!"

  "Jade?"

  The two of them were stunned at the same time, and Liu Yu'er, who was standing behind Ye Chen, was also familiar to them. However, when they heard Ye Chen call Liu Yu'er "Yu'er", they became suspicious. After all, Liu Yu'er was a direct disciple, and Ye Chen actually dared to call her so intimately. There must be some unspeakable secret between them.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. How was the selection?"

  As soon as Ye Chen mentioned the selection, the two of them suddenly remembered why they were waiting for Ye Chen here. Wang Zhan hastily said: "Right, you'd better go and take a look! The Gathering Qi Realm doesn't need to participate in the selection, but it's already been counted. As for the trial, your qualification is gone, after all, when it was your turn, you weren't there!"

  Ye Chen nodded and then gestured to Liu Yuer.

  Liu Yuer took a step forward, hugged Ye Chen tightly, and directly flew towards the selection place at high speed.

  Zhuge Wu Xin watched as Liu Yu'er hugged Ye Chen and flew away quickly, a cold sweat slowly trickling down his forehead.

  "Lao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Wang Zhan looked at Zhuge Wuxin's appearance and asked in puzzlement.

  Zhuge Wu Xin slightly shook his head and said, "I am mourning for Fourth Brother. If it were in front of the three women walking together, Fourth Brother would not know whether he is dead or alive!"

  Wang Zhan was taken aback by Zhuge's careless words, and then burst out laughing: "Alright! Let's hurry up and inform Mo Tian and the others, then go watch the selection together. I wonder if Fourth Brother can continue to participate in the selection!"

  "Ah!"

  At this time, all the people who participated in the selection had already finished their trials. The old man walked up again and said: "This selection is now over, with a total of 56 participants. Among them, 22 people in the Gathering Qi Realm entered the inner gate, and 8 people in the Fragmented Body Realm, totaling 30 people. This is the first time in many years that so many people have become inner door disciples, which also means that our Lianyun Sect is gradually becoming stronger!"

  As soon as the old man finished speaking, a warm applause erupted from all around.

  The old man nodded in satisfaction and said: "All the disciples can disperse! The selection is over, now follow me directly into the inner gate!"

  "Yes!"

  Everyone responded with reverence.

  The old man nodded and gestured to the people around him, then led them away directly.

  "Wait!"

  Just then, a thunderous roar came from the sky...
