Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

The internal assessment is nearing its end.

Inner disciples are divided into three categories: Silver Sleeve, Gold Sleeve, and Jade Leaf.

Corresponding to the Spirit Control Realm, Void Realm, and True Martial Realm.

The highest point of the stands.

Ming Zhenyue, the prefect of Yehua Prefecture, who was watching the game as a special guest, chuckled.

"In this inner sect assessment, 384 people were promoted from Silver Sleeve to Gold Sleeve, and 4 people were promoted from Gold Sleeve to Jade Leaf."

"The Cloud Sect has seen a surge of talented individuals in recent years, with a seamless transition between generations. Sect Leader Ye deserves much credit for this."

Ye Zhentian adopted a humble approach and engaged in mutual flattery.

"Not at all, not at all. My Yunshang Sect owes its current success entirely to the Prefect's care. I am deeply grateful."

Ming Zhenyue!

The Prefect of Yehua Prefecture in the Immortal Martial Empire, a powerful figure in the land.

Even he, the head of a sect, had to obediently bow his head before him.

However, Ye Linxiao has now entered the Spirit King Realm at the age of 20, which gives him more confidence in his words.

After a pause, Ye Zhentian changed the subject, his expression showing a hint of urgency.

"Brother Ming, about that Cloud Ruins spiritual vein..."

Ming Zhenyue raised his hand to stop him.

"As I stated beforehand, I was only invited to watch the game as a spectator today and will not discuss any business."

"Moreover, the Cloud Ruins Spiritual Vein is crucial to the development of our Yehua Prefecture for the next few hundred years; it is a matter of great importance."

"Both your Cloud Sect and Sky-Piercing Gate want to compete for that 30% mining right. And both of your sects are prestigious sects whose mere presence can shake the entire Ye Hua Prefecture. Shouldn't I consider this matter of the Cloud Ruins Spiritual Vein more carefully before making a decision?"

Cloud Ruins Spiritual Vein!

That night, a very large spirit stone vein was newly discovered in Huazhou, located in Yunxu Mountain.

A large spiritual vein can often produce at least several billion spiritual stones.

Their wealth is immeasurable.

The Cloud Sect and the Sky-Piercing Gate are the two largest sects in Yehua Prefecture.

It can be said that whoever can seize 30% of the mining rights of the Yunxu Spirit Vein will become the leader of thousands of forces, large and small, throughout the entire Yehua Prefecture.

Seeing that Ming Zhenyue politely declined, Ye Zhentian sighed with a troubled expression.

"It seems my brother is still blaming me for not agreeing to Ruotang and Xiao'er's marriage."

"But you know the specific reasons, and I really had no other choice."

In fact, Ming Zhenyue had a very outstanding daughter.

Ming Ruotang.

Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she is also stunningly beautiful and a student of the Immortal Martial Arts Academy.

Regardless of appearance, talent, identity, or background, she and Ye Linxiao are a perfect match.

Normally speaking!

The fact that Yunshang Sect was able to form a marriage alliance with the Prefect's Mansion means they have climbed a high branch.

If Ye Zhentian dared to utter even a single word of dissent, he would be ungrateful.

The problem lies with the white buds of the eel.

Bai Ya's talent is even more abnormal than Ming Ruotang's; she is a True Martial Fifth Level cultivator at the age of 18.

Looking across the entire Yehua Prefecture, his talent is second only to Ye Linxiao.

Changyu Baiya made it very clear that if Ye Linxiao wanted her to stay in the Yunshang Sect, he had to marry her.

Otherwise, she would leave the Cloud Sect.

Now Ye Zhentian was in a dilemma.

On one side is the genius daughter of the prefect's family.

On the other side is the even more monstrous-talented Changyu Baiya.

In the end, it was Ye Linxiao who took the initiative to choose Bai Ya.

Nothing more!

He disliked Ming Ruotang's arrogance.

He also didn't want the Cloud Sect to remain dependent on others and controlled by the Prefect's Mansion.

With his talent, he doesn't need to bow down to anyone.

Ming Zhenyue snorted coldly.

"Judging from Sect Leader Ye's words, it seems I'm the one making unreasonable demands? Or that my Ruotang is climbing the social ladder?"

"Um?"

How could he not be angry?

His daughter, Ming Ruotang, was the apple of the prefect's eye, a favored daughter of heaven, with admirers lining up so long they could circle Yehua Prefecture three times.

He took the initiative to arrange the marriage because he saw Ye Linxiao's talent and potential, but was rejected.

Doesn't this dignified prefect have any shame?

Bold!

Seeing that the two sides had reached a stalemate, Ye Linxiao smiled faintly.

"Uncle, you don't need to hold a grudge because of what we younger generation did."

"It's just that Ruotang and I are not meant to be."

"We've known each other since childhood. If we truly have feelings for each other, why would our parents need to act as matchmakers?"

Spiritual veins?

Three years...

Do not!

Within a year, he will lead the Cloud Sect to become the number one sect in Yehua Prefecture.

At that time, Ming Zhenyue will voluntarily hand over the spiritual vein.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, the advisor next to Ming Zhenyue chuckled and tried to smooth things over.

"Let's discuss official business later. The Cloud Ruins Spirit Vein is of great importance, and the Prefect certainly needs to consider it carefully."

Then he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, the inner sect assessments are all over, shouldn't the outer sect disciples who have been admitted to the inner sect arrive by now?"

"And we'd really like to meet Lü Tu, who accepted the Qingyun Ranking."

Luan Yang has already reported the matter of Lü Tu accepting the challenge to the sect.

When these high-ranking officials heard that the person who accepted the challenge was just a menial servant at the Qi Condensation Realm, they were shocked.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and curious.

But mostly, it was anger!

Elder Zhao Hong snorted angrily.

"This is all thanks to Luan Yang, the Third Elder's beloved daughter, which has made the Prefect a laughingstock."

"My Cloud Sect has tens of thousands of outer disciples, yet a mere menial servant disciple received the Azure Cloud Ranking. If word gets out, won't it make us a laughingstock for having no one capable? Won't it become a source of shame for the world?"

The purpose of the Azure Cloud Ranking is to provide geniuses from the outer sect with a shortcut to the top.

It's fine if no real geniuses take the top spot.

It's at least close enough, right? At least they have the qualifications to enter the inner sect, right?

But the result?

The task was taken over by a mere Qi Condensation Realm servant who should have been expelled from the sect.

If this gets out, wouldn't people say that the vast Cloud Sect has tens of thousands of outer disciples, yet not a single one is presentable?

That's absolutely hilarious.

Second Elder Li Peng echoed in agreement.

"The Grand Elder is right."

"For a servant to accept the proclamation, isn't this a disgrace to my Cloud Sect?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the Third Elder, Gu Yunshu, his words clearly directed at her.

"Could it be that someone deliberately instigated and directed this? What exactly is their intention?"

"In my opinion, Lu Tu accepting the challenge as a menial servant is already a disgrace to our Yunshang Sect and seriously damages the sect's reputation."

"He should be executed immediately!"

He originally thought that Jingyang would be the one to receive the list, and that he would take him on as a disciple.

After all, Jingyang's mother was very voluptuous, still charming, and very skilled.

These past few days have made him quite happy and reluctant to leave.

He also gave his approval out of consideration for his beloved student, Jinghe.

But now it is Lü Tu who has accepted the challenge.

Wouldn't people be cursing me behind my back, saying, "You've violated human nature by stabbing someone in the womb?"

Where will he put his dignity as the Second Elder of the Inner Sect in the future?

Unlike Zhao Hong and Li Peng's angry sarcasm, Gu Yunshu's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

That's incorrect!

"The Azure Cloud Ranking is fair and impartial; if you can answer the Holy Son's test correctly and accept the ranking, that's your own ability."

"Moreover, Lu Tu dared to confront tens of thousands of people and remain calm in the face of danger. That courage alone is not something ordinary people possess. At the very least, I think your two prized disciples would be far inferior to him."

As the saying goes, a calm mind can overcome countless obstacles, and a settled mind can bring boundless enlightenment.

"I actually quite admire that kind of personality."

Upon hearing this!

Jing He, standing behind Li Peng, frowned, a hint of barely suppressed anger flashing in his eyes.

How could he compare a mere Qi Condensation Realm servant to a True Martial Realm cultivator at the Jade Leaf level?

Isn't this humiliating him?

"Lü Tu? Hmph..."

"You dare steal my cousin Jingyang's opportunity? See how I torment you!"

Gu Yunshu said he was inferior to Lü Tu?

Then he killed Lü Tu in public.

Right now!

Ye Linxiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his chin slightly and gestured towards the mountain gate.

"They're here!"
