Chapter 263: Paying Respects to the Ancestor Master
At this moment, not to mention those disciples, even the elders were completely shocked.
Even Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable wore an expression of disbelief.
It was as if witnessing a miracle.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
Because this was the first time someone had cleared the Demon-slaying Tower since its establishment.
The tower itself had restrictions; at most only Ninth-grade Golden Immortals could enter, Immortal Venerables couldn't enter at all.
The trial monsters on the thirteenth floor weren't only Ninth-grade Golden Immortal level, but also usually appeared in groups, rarely alone.
Plus, a Fifth-grade Golden Immortal would automatically be promoted to a sect elder, and this tower was used for disciple evaluation. So since the founding, no one had cleared it.
The figure slowly rose from the top of the tower under the illumination of the nine-colored aura high above.
Everyone finally saw Brother Cheng's figure clearly.
And looking around him, the tower body continuously emitted petals formed by the immortal qi, which was quite awkward!
This was the Demon-slaying Tower celebrating on its own.
But the problem was, this person wasn't from their sect!
After a brief depression, everyone angrily summoned their immortal artifact magical treasures, encircling Brother Cheng tightly.
Their own sect's Demon-slaying Tower was broken by an outsider first, completing the first clearance.
Where could they find justice in this?
If word got out, they'd become a massive laughingstock.
This was an embarrassing disgrace!
Moreover, there was the previous incident of Gu Qingyu being humiliated!
Now everyone wished they could tear Brother Cheng to pieces to vent their anger.
Unfortunately, the person involved seemed unaware of the impending crisis; he was still smiling and waving to the crowd.
Because upon clearing the tower, he surprisingly received over a million shock value, increasing his merit points by 105.
In the past, that would have accumulated over ten billion points.
This came way too easily.
So he was in a pretty good mood.
However, his smile was taken by others as a provocative show.
The crowd's eyes turned red.
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
"Grab that thief!"
Instantly, countless immortal artifacts unleashed terrifying waves of immortal power, charging forward.
Brother Cheng sighed.
If these people didn't attack him, for the sake of contributing so much shock value, he wouldn't bother to retaliate.
Just passing by, fine.
But since they wanted to kill him, he had no choice but to return the favor—wipe them out.
Although there were over twenty Immortal Venerables among them, he not only had tenfold critical strike but also the resurrection skill.
Just as he was about to unleash the Ninth-grade Immortal Sword, intending for a massacre, two figures swiftly blocked his front.
"No..."
"Stop!"
Boom Boom Boom!
Continuous explosions almost changed the color of heaven and earth.
When everything stopped, everyone was dumbfounded.
Jiang Cheng was still standing perfectly fine, even without drawing his sword.
Because he wasn't hit at all, and two others had taken all the attacks for him.
At this moment, the two appeared dusty and disheveled, their crowns knocked off, hair disarrayed, bruised and battered.
Their immortal robes were riddled with holes, looking extremely disheveled.
Upon closer inspection, who else but Sect Leader Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable and Great Elder Yuan Sheng Immortal Venerable?
"Sect Leader?"
"Master?"
"What happened?"
Those who just made a move were stunned on the spot.
Too bad this shock was not directed at Brother Cheng, so there was no harvest of shock value.
"Everyone stop immediately!"
"Who ordered you to act?"
Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable urgently began to balance his breathing, thankfully there were more than ten Immortal Venerables and elders who hadn't acted, otherwise, his old life might not have been preserved.
Yuan Sheng Immortal Venerable was even more furious, his Immortal Sword had been broken, and his Immortal Armor was riddled with holes.
"What are you doing?"
"Huh? Acting without orders, who gave you the guts?"
"Are you all insane?"
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to ask him instead, are you mad?
Facing external threats, are you confused?
Wasn't it agreed to attack all at once after appearing?
"Sect Leader, what's going on?"
"Why?"
Not only the disciples but even the elders were baffled.
This person infiltrated the Demon-slaying Tower and even humiliated your direct disciple, Sect Leader!
Not only did you not kill him, but you saved him instead?
Gu Qingyu flew over, her pretty face full of disbelief.
"Master, why did you save this thief?"
Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable was furious, shouting sternly: "What thief, you wretch quickly apologize to...to this senior!"
This shout stunned Gu Qingyu.
Since entering the sect, it was the first time her master had scolded her.
But her beloved master was entirely too busy to pay attention to her at this moment, immediately turning to Jiang Cheng after scolding her.
Great Elder Yuan Sheng's old face already wore an incredibly respectful smile, bending down as if ready to kneel immediately.
"You...are Elder Jiang, right?"
He didn't even dare to call Brother Cheng by name.
Brother Cheng nodded: "That's right, my surname is Jiang."
He was bewildered too.
First attacking then saving me, not giving me a chance to retaliate at all, what's going on, acting?
Moreover, I've only been in this world for a few years, what elder, aren't you mistaken?
Upon hearing he really was surnamed Jiang, the two sect leaders seemed to confirm the identity.
Thus, both of them simultaneously knelt down with a thud.
Sect Leader Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable bowed repeatedly, causing his head to turn red, his entire being close to ecstasy: "Junior Feixian Sect Sect Leader Yuan Zhen, greets the Ancestral Master..."
Brother Cheng was instantly shocked.
What?
This sect with tens of thousands of disciples, is the Feixian Sect?
Has the Feixian Sect spread its leaves in the Immortal Realm? Why am I completely unaware?
Moreover, he didn't recognize a single one of these disciples.
What's going on?
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 25,750,154 shock value, automatically converted to 2575 merit points."
The Sect Leader and Great Elder simultaneously performed the kneeling ceremony to him, their respectful gestures utterly astounding the audience.
The level of shock clearly surpassed the one from clearing the tower earlier by several degrees.
After all, for the vast majority of sect disciples, they seldom even see the Sect Leader and Great Elder.
When they finally do, they witness this inconceivable scene.
The Sect Leader and Great Elder actually knelt to someone...
And this time, the target of the shock was obviously Brother Cheng.
Who exactly is this person?
Why do the Sect Leader and Great Elder regard him with such respect?
Could he truly be some senior elder of the Feixian Sect?
But on closer inspection, this person is merely a First Grade Golden Immortal.
With this power, he could be a true disciple in the Feixian Sect, but not qualified enough to be an Inner Sect Elder.
However, this person's power can't be judged based on the surface realm, certainly considering he just cleared the Demon-slaying Tower.
More likely, he possesses Ninth-grade Golden Immortal strength?
But even so, it still wouldn't warrant the worship of the Sect Leader and Great Elder, these two Immortal Venerables!
In fact, it was precisely because of these inexplicable events that the shock effect became even stronger.
Allowing Brother Cheng to gain a large amount of merit.
His elder smile almost reached his ears.
It's amazing; even before I started performing, the shock value poured in.
After calming down, he began to ask a more important question.
