I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 26: Descending The Mountain

"After Senior Baihen's unexpected death, the Peak Seventeen cave has been vacant. Who are you, and why are you here?"

"Only true disciples are allowed on White Cloud Peak. How did you manage to come up here?"

"The illusion of that large sun earlier, was it caused by you?"

As soon as the gate opened, the true disciples immediately bombarded Su Zhan with questions.

Su Zhan glanced at them and said, "I became an inner disciple half a month ago. This residence was arranged by the Sect Master, and this token was personally carved by the Sect Master. If you have no other matters, please make way. I need to descend the mountain."

"The token issued by the Sect Master?"

"It's indeed a special identity token personally crafted by the Sect Master! Wang Hao and Senior Qi Yang also have them. I've seen them, so I can't be mistaken!"

"Junior Brother Su, being able to reside on White Cloud Peak as an inner disciple, you're truly a genius!"

"Even though Junior Brother Su is only at the peak of Essence Condensation Realm, he managed to seize over 90% of the Spiritual Rain. It truly puts us to shame!"

"While the competition for Spiritual Rain mainly depends on talent, it's because everyone on White Cloud Peak is at the intermediate stage Martial Master Realm, so the gap isn't too large. But now, Su Junior Brother is a whole realm behind, yet he achieved such results. It seems his talent has already far surpassed ours!"

"Junior Brother Su, I'm your Senior Sister Lin Qian. I live in the bamboo forest ten miles away from your cave. Come visit me sometime!"

Confirming Su Zhan's identity, the true disciples all squeezed out smiles, wanting to establish a connection with him.

They weren't fools. With Su Zhan's extraordinary talent and the personally carved token from the Sect Master, his future would undoubtedly be brilliant. If they didn't befriend Su Zhan while he was still weak, it would be difficult in the future!

Besides, now that the Spiritual Rain was gone, even though they felt displeased, it was pointless to instigate Su Zhan any further.

"Hmph! It's true that I have a token personally issued by the Sect Master, but that was after becoming a true disciple!" Qi Yang looked at those people flattering Su Zhan and felt very unhappy. He said, "Unlike this junior brother, who obtained it despite only being at the peak stage of Essence Condensation Realm, I have serious doubts about the authenticity of his token!"

Su Zhan remained calm and said, "That's your problem."

Qi Yang's gaze turned cold, his face grew gloomy. He said, "The Sect Master would never grant an identity token to someone who hasn't reached the mid-stage Martial Master Realm. Where did you get your token from? Do you know that forging an identity token privately is a grave offense?"

"Forgery? A forged token that can open the array and allow entry into the White Cloud Peak? Senior Brother, it looks like too much cultivation has damaged your brain!" Su Zhan glanced at Qi Yang and couldn't be bothered to deal with him, so he turned around and left.

Hearing Su Zhan's words and looking at the surrounding disciples with strange faces, wanting to laugh but holding back, Qi Yang's face flushed and his forehead veins throbbed, and he felt some anger rising within him.

"I am the first true disciple, and it is my duty to maintain order on White Cloud Peak. If you don't let me inspect it today, don't even think about descending the mountain!" Qi Yang said, moving his body to block Su Zhan's path, his tone unfriendly.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Su Zhan furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and then handed over the token in his hand.

Qi Yang's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the mid stage Martial Master Realm, and his own lifesource weapon had been nurtured for several years, possessing formidable power. Without condensing his own life weapon, Su Zhan might not necessarily be able to handle Qi Yang.

Moreover, at this moment, Su Zhan didn't want to fight; he just wanted to quickly prepare the materials to condense his own life weapon and break through to the mid-stage Martial Master Realm.

"This token" Qi Yang took the token, his facial expression slightly changing.

He was somewhat incredulous. It was actually real!

But how could the Sect Master grant a special identity token to someone who was only at the Essence Condensation Realm?

Even Qi Yang himself didn't have such an honor!

"Have you seen enough?" At that moment, Su Zhan's voice sounded.

Qi Yang's face turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "That's enough."

"You've seen clearly this time. Don't waste my time again next time." Taking the token from Qi Yang's hand, Su Zhan glanced at him and turned to descend the mountain.

"The first true disciple, but nothing more than that," Su Zhan's sigh echoed.

Qi Yang's face looked grim, his fists clenched.

If it weren't for his consideration of Su Zhan's identity, he would have already made a move to kill him!

When had he, the esteemed first true disciple, been spoken to in such a tone within the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?

It was truly shameful!

However, Su Zhan, being able to reside on White Cloud Peak at the Essence Condensation Realm and possessing such an abnormal talent, must be highly regarded by the Sect Master. If Qi Yang wanted to teach Su Zhan a lesson, he would have to carefully consider it and come up with a good plan.

Qi Yang stared fixedly at Su Zhan's figure, pondering in his heart.

As Su Zhan descended the stone path from White Cloud Peak, many inner disciples witnessed the scene and were somewhat astonished.

Because they didn't remember Su Zhan, this person, among the true disciples.

"It's him! Su Zhan!"

Zhao Li fixed his gaze on Su Zhan, his eyes shining, and instructed his junior brother beside him, "Quickly, go and inform Senior Brother Luan Jian. That person is Su Zhan!"

"Forget it, you don't need you. I'll go myself!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Li changed his mind again and excitedly turned away. Today was a big day for the entire inner sect, and Luan Jian also came to observe the grand event at White Cloud Peak.

Of course, as the number one disciple in the inner sect, he was different from the disciples crowded together. At this moment, he was in a spacious pavilion, drinking with several other strong inner sect members while enjoying the contest for the Spiritual Rain.

"Spiritual Rain! It is said that being bathed in the Spiritual Rain is equivalent to months of cultivation!"

"Not only that, the Spiritual Rain also strengthens the physique. If only I could be bathed in the Spiritual Rain!"

"You, don't even dream about it, but it might be possible for Senior Brother Luan!"

Several inner sect disciples joked around.

Upon hearing their words and thinking about Su Zhan, Luan Jian became increasingly displeased. Both he and Su Zhan were in the Essence Condensation Realm, but Su Zhan, a newly admitted disciple was able to bathe in the Spiritual Rain. It was truly unfair!

The more Luan Jian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, taking a big gulp of wine.

"Senior Brother Luan! Su Zhan has appeared!" Zhao Li's voice rang out.

Luan Jian's gaze sharpened as he looked at Zhao Li running over and said in a deep voice, "Where is he?"

"He's on the mountain path!" Zhao Li pointed towards the mountain path.

"But Senior Brother Luan, Su Zhan hasn't come down the mountain for half a month. He's probably been in seclusion, diligently cultivating. And with the bath in the Spiritual Rain, he might have even reached the late stage of the Essence Condensation Realm!"

"Hmph! What does it matter if he's in the late stage of the Essence Condensation Realm? The difference in strength is like night and day, even if there were ten Su Zhans, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from me!"

Luan Jian's gaze fell on Su Zhan on the stone path, then he glanced at the inner sect disciples gathered below White Cloud Peak, excitement evident on his face.

"It's truly a stroke of luck for me!"

"Perfect timing! Today, with all the inner sect disciples gathered here, there are likely many elders watching as well. If I defeat Su Zhan in front of everyone, the elders will surely make a decision and allow me to reside in White Cloud Peak!"

"Otherwise, the entire inner sect will be dissatisfied! Hahaha, these past half a month haven't been in vain. Today is the best opportunity for me to defeat Su Zhan!"
