“That's right, my Tian Gong stands on the heavenly realm, and the most important thing is the rules. If the rules are broken, how can we develop?”
Several masters coldly rebuked.
“Is that so?”
Master Mu Ye scoffed: “Then how come I heard that during your process of becoming elders, you all more or less violated some of Tian Gong's rules?
Not to mention, even our Tian Gong branch master from Guang Han Fu, back in the headquarters, stirred up chaos, yet he was still sent to oversee Guang Han Fu and wasn’t dismissed.”
“Bold.”
“Mu Ye, we are discussing the issue with Qin Chen, how dare you slander the branch master!”
“Presumptuous.”
Several Refiner masters were furious.
“Did I say anything wrong?
The reason you are attacking me is merely to vie for a spot in that place.”
Master Mu Ye coldly laughed: “Even if Qin Chen doesn’t come, the Bai Yu Tang I brought back is also a top-tier refining talent. With him breaking through the Heavenly Saint Realm alongside your Nan Tian Yi and Feng Liu Yun, even if you target me, Bai Yu Tang can still compete with your disciples.”
Master Mu Ye sneered.
“You...” Other Refiner masters were incensed.
“Enough.”
At this moment, the elder who had been silent suddenly opened his eyes, and with a hum, it was as if two bolts of lightning flashed in the void.
“Since Qin Chen has passed the assessment, then he is a disciple of my Tian Gong. Mu Ye is right; what we want in Tian Gong is not rule-abiding disciples, but true prodigies. Now that the Demon Tribe is stirring, the human race is in peril; what rules cannot be violated?
As long as there is talent, I’ll give my position as the Grand Elder to him. You all the same; as long as you break through, letting this old man step down and retire is not impossible.”
“Grand Elder...” The other masters exclaimed in surprise.
“What I say is the truth. Therefore, regarding Qin Chen, there is no need to discuss it any further. When Qin Chen arrives, I will personally verify him. If he indeed has talent, then so be it.
Just like your disciples competing for the title of Chief Disciple, right?
What Nan Tian Yi, Feng Liu Yun, and Bai Yu Tang are all vying for, it seems there have been several clashes?
Quite a stir?”
“What my Tian Gong desires is this kind of atmosphere; as long as no one dies, let them compete. True tiger kings can only be born from competition, not just cultivation.”
The long-browed elder said lightly.
“Yes.”
The other Refiner masters bowed their heads.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, the Grand Elder raised his head, revealing a look of surprise.
“It seems someone is coming to our Tian Gong, heh, what a coincidence, it’s Qin Chen.”
The Grand Elder said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“What?
Qin Chen has arrived?”
The Refiner masters present all displayed looks of astonishment.
At this moment, Qin Chen had followed the two young men and arrived at the end of the steps. Before his eyes was a vast square, surrounded by numerous buildings. The most grandiose was a towering spire that reached into the heavens, vast and magnificent.
In the square, many experts passed by, all emitting terrifying auras, each extraordinary. Among them were numerous Earth Saints and many half-step Heavenly Saints, as well as some Heavenly Saint experts, each with an extraordinary presence.
Moreover, many people carried a scent of materials and flames—a smell from years of refining equipment and tempering materials.
As everyone flew past, chatting with each other, they suddenly caught sight of Qin Chen, who was led up, and all revealed expressions of surprise.
“Eh, who is this kid? It seems I’ve never seen him before. How did the gatekeeper bring in an outsider?”
“So young, could he be one of the martial artists recruited by our Tian Gong this time?”
“No way, the martial artists recruited by our Tian Gong are all in secret training; only the recruited Refiner masters can move freely. Could he be a new Refiner disciple?”
