Chapter 544: Chapter 535 Ji Ziyao!

"This one..."

His gaze retracted from the foot of the mountain.

Mo Wangchen looked toward Sage Lingdong, first giving a slight bow, then his face registered a moment of surprise.

Now that he was a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, how should he address the other?

Senior? That felt somewhat inappropriate!

Master? That wasn’t right either, as he had only joined Lingdong Peak, not become a direct disciple under him.

"Just call me Sage,"

Sage Lingdong noticed the embarrassment on Mo Wangchen’s face and spoke with a smile.

"Sage, may I inquire about the individual you mentioned earlier? Where are they now?"

"What’s the hurry, lad? You’ve only just joined. Shouldn’t you first get to know the sect?" Sage Lingdong said.

Mo Wangchen shook his head directly, "It’s fine, I’ll learn about it gradually over time."

"Uh!"

Hearing this, Sage Lingdong’s face showed surprise, then he spoke again, "Ziyao often retreats for closed-door cultivation. Specifically... I also don’t know where..."

"Ziyao?" Mo Wangchen frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, Yaoyao didn’t have a name before, could Ziyao be her new name?

Or are they not the same person at all?

"The name was given by the Saint Master, her full name being Ji Ziyao, sharing the surname with the Saint Master."

Sage Lingdong spoke and then paused for a moment before continuing, "According to past years’ practice, Ziyao comes out of retreat once every year. It’s almost been a year since her last emergence. She should appear within the next month or two."

"A month or two..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen nodded his head; since the other party was still in retreat, there wasn’t much that could be done.

Whether this Ji Ziyao was the Yaoyao he knew, it seemed he would find out after one or two months.

"This is Lingdong Peak’s Disciple Token for you. As the Senior Disciple of Lingdong Peak, your token is different from the others."

As he spoke, Sage Lingdong handed a golden Jade Token to Mo Wangchen.

He then added, "You might want to get acquainted with your junior disciples. I’ll call them over."

With these words, Sage Lingdong flicked his finger and a white light shot out towards the lower peak and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mo Wangchen stood in place, waiting quietly. Before long, several streaks of white light arrived in succession, all youthful faces, a total of four people.

"Greetings to the Sage!"

The four came up to Sage Lingdong and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm."

Sage Lingdong stood tall, displaying the demeanor of a venerable figure, and looked down at Mo Wangchen, "From now on, he is the Senior Disciple of Lingdong Peak. Get to know each other."

"Only four?"

Mo Wangchen was somewhat taken aback. He had heard that Lingdong Peak was the weakest among the Seven Peaks, but never imagined it to be this weak.

The entire Lingdong sect has only four disciples?

When he entered with Sage Lingdong just now, he saw that all the main peaks had quite a number of disciples moving around, at least a hundred or nearly a thousand in some places.

By comparison, did Lingdong Peak really only have four disciples?

"Greetings to the Senior Disciple!"

Hearing Sage Lingdong’s words, all four disciples looked towards Mo Wangchen and gave a slight bow.

They were all around Mo Wangchen’s age, with one of them slightly older, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. However, in the Cultivation World, everything was determined by strength. Now that Mo Wangchen had become the Senior Disciple,

from now on, he would be their Senior Disciple!

One of them appeared somewhat confused. The events that had taken place at the base of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry had stirred quite a few, but many had not gone out to investigate what had actually happened.

This individual was one of them. His name was Qin Hao. Among the four, although his strength was not the strongest, his talent was definitely the highest, so it was inevitable that he carried a bit of pride.

At this moment, seeing that Mo Wangchen was younger than himself yet had suddenly become the Senior Disciple of Lingdong Peak, he couldn’t help but ask, "May I know the Senior Disciple’s name? Did you just cross the Other Shore Bridge today and join our Lingdong Peak?"

If that was really the case, in Qin Hao’s view, Mo Wangchen would be no different from a newcomer.

A newcomer, somehow becoming his Senior Disciple out of nowhere—how could he accept this?

If Mo Wangchen had transferred from one of the other six peaks, he wouldn’t have any complaints. But the Seven Peaks of Inquiry regarded the Lingdong sect as the weakest—why would anyone wish to transfer into it without any reason?

When they joined Lingdong Peak, it was partly because they had been ’deceived’ by Sage Lingdong, and partly because some of them had not been accepted by the other six peaks due to lower talent, leaving them with no choice but to pick Lingdong Peak.

Qin Hao was one of those who had been ’deceived’!

Initially, when he had just joined, Sage Lingdong had thrown out many promises that had him excited for quite a while, but it didn’t take long for him to realize he had been tricked.

The promised resources, Spirit Stones, and other benefits never materialized for him.

If it weren’t for Sage Lingdong treating him genuinely, Qin Hao would have probably transferred to another main peak already.

"Junior Brother, it is inappropriate to disrespect the Senior Disciple!"

Another disciple stepped forward. His name was Luo Qingcheng. He had gone out to witness the event that happened at the foot of the mountain and naturally knew who Mo Wangchen was.

For him to become Lingdong Peak’s Senior Disciple was nothing but an advantage for Lingdong Peak.

Luo Qingcheng clearly understood what Qin Hao was thinking and, fearing that his words might disrespect Mo Wangchen, hurriedly intervened.

"What do you mean by that, Second Senior Brother? Where have I been disrespectful? I only asked a name. After all, to become our Senior Disciple, one’s strength must not be weak, right? Dare you spar with me?"

The glint in Qin Hao’s eyes flashed. He had the cultivation of a Half-Step Emperor Realm, capable of fighting a regular Emperor Realm first-level expert.

In his opinion, Mo Wangchen, at best, was only at the first level of the Emperor Realm.

Otherwise, why would he choose to join the weakest of the Seven Peaks, Lingdong sect? He probably was coaxed and lured by Sage Lingdong and given the title of Senior Disciple before coming, right?

"If Junior Brother wishes to test himself, why would I refuse?"

Mo Wangchen said with a smile, showing no interest in stooping to Qin Hao’s level.

Having said that, he stepped back a few paces and looked at his opponent, "Use your strongest technique, and let’s see what you’ve got."

"Then you better be careful, Senior Disciple."

Qin Hao snorted coldly, thinking that Mo Wangchen was underestimating him too much. Although he was only at a Half-Step Emperor Realm cultivation, his full-powered strike was something even a first-level Emperor Realm expert wouldn’t dare to take head-on.

As he spoke, Qin Hao also stepped back several paces, and instantly, the sharpness in his eyes burst forth as the cultivation of the Half-Step Emperor Realm was released to its peak.

Chaotic currents of air swirled around him as he formed a certain Dharma Seal, and threads of the Tao Law flowed out. Above them, in the sky, the essence of these laws merged into an enormous Snow Mountain, obscuring the sun and casting a great shadow, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
