Chapter 138: 138 Troublemaker Master

"You failed too, alas!"

Looking at the points wooden plaque handed over by Feng Hang, Qin Wang experienced the process from hope to disappointment once again. He had hoped that an Outer Disciple could complete this task, thus flattering the Sect Elders. Now that even Feng Hang has failed, who else could accomplish this task?

In fact, Guan Tong had also taken on this Fire Spirit Crystal task, but Guan Tong’s Meridian Qi Cultivation had not even reached the Meridian Rushing Realm. In Qin Wang’s heart, he didn’t hold much hope to begin with, and he even wondered why Guan Tong would accept such a low-rank spiritual task. Was it because he had too many points?

As for Guan Tong, Qin Wang didn’t hold much hope, but Shen Xiao and Feng Hang were genuine talents of the Meridian Rushing Realm, the most dazzling duo among the Outer Sect.

Unfortunately, even these two had failed on the Fire Spirit Crystal task, how could Qin Wang not be disappointed? Moreover, just like those Outer Disciples thought, he believed that within the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Sect, no one was capable of completing such a task anymore.

Receiving the points wooden plaque from Qin Wang’s hand, seeing the number of five hundred points deducted, Feng Hang naturally wouldn’t feel too good.

Under the concealment of the purple robe, his eyes met with Shen Xiao’s not far away, and after a glance, Feng Hang did not want to stay here longer. He couldn’t be bothered with those Outer Disciples who wanted to interact; in his view, those who hadn’t even reached the Meridian Rushing Realm simply weren’t worthy of his association.

Little did he know, just as Feng Hang was about to reach the door of the Task Hall, a slender figure abruptly darted in from outside the hall, nearly bumping into him fully.

"It’s Brother Yun Xiao!"

From a distance, Ling Wan, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized the figure entering the hall from outside as Yun Xiao, to whom he owed great gratitude, and immediately cried out with surprise.

By this time, everyone in the hall had a clear view of the newcomer’s ragged-clothed silhouette, a figure not unfamiliar to some among them.

Especially Zhao Ningshu, Cao Luo, and Xuan Zhi, they already harbored deep enmity with the ragged-clothed boy, wishing they could devour him alive, hence their eyes emitted a venomous glimmer upon seeing him.

Compared to these newly risen talents of the Outer Sect, those seasoned Outer Sect talents were less familiar with this boy. With hundreds of disciples in the Jade Pot Sect, those who had seen Yun Xiao in this Task Hall were not the ones present, so they found the name Yun Xiao extremely unfamiliar.

Of course, this does not include a few, such as Xuan Zhi, who beside Guan Tong, his eyes nearly spewing fire, and even Shen Xiao, ranked second on the Mortal List, showed a strange cold smile on his face.

Compared to these talents in the hall, Feng Hang, who was nearest to Yun Xiao, initially didn’t plan to bother with this recklessly advancing boy. With his status, he wouldn’t usually concern himself with a mere common talent of the Outer Sect over such trivial matters.

However, as Feng Hang looked up and recognized the appearance of this ragged-clothed boy, the color of his face under the purple robe changed instantly, and a powerful Meridian Qi suddenly surfaced from him.

"Yun Xiao!"

A voice, squeezed out from between the teeth, emanated from beneath the purple robe, and in the next moment, everyone saw the distinguished top talent of the Mortal List, suddenly throwing a fierce punch at the ragged-clothed boy.

Sensing the Meridian Qi contained in Feng Hang’s punch, and perceiving the concealed Meridian Qi of the ragged-clothed boy, everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, completely oblivious of why it was happening.

For individuals like Zhao Ningshu and Cao Luo, who harbored grudges against Yun Xiao, they couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude at this scene, secretly thinking that Yun Xiao, this troublemaker, now even dared to provoke Feng Hang, the top of the Mortal List. This time, he probably couldn’t escape unscathed.

The person who entered the hall was indeed Yun Xiao. He hadn’t expected to encounter his old rival Feng Hang upon just entering the hall. However, compared to that day at Yurong Volcano, his strength had progressed, making it not so easy for this sudden strike to harm him.

Making a split-second decision, Yun Xiao instantly shifted to the left. His reaction ability and ghostly speed were astonishing, causing Feng Hang’s powerful sudden punch to miss entirely.

"Squeak!"

Just as Yun Xiao narrowly dodged the punch, a fiery-red rat on his right shoulder furiously shrieked, signaling that it might brazenly attack the next moment.

Having spent time with Yun Xiao, the Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan had come to regard Yun Xiao as family. It wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Yun Xiao, and even without transforming, its Fourth Rank Low Level Demon Meridian Qi was likely not beneath that of Feng Hang in the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage.

Chi Yan’s anger was apparent to Yun Xiao, but he knew it wasn’t a good time to start a fight. Thus, he reached out and gently stroked Chi Yan, the Fire Cloud Rat’s, ruffled fur to signal it to calm down.

Yet, Feng Hang, who had missed his strike, was clearly dissatisfied with the outcome. He felt a surge of strong Meridian Qi emit from his body again, apparently intending to deliver another blow to kill Yun Xiao on the spot.

Feng Hang was already upset about the five hundred points he had been deducted, and the main reason this task would fail was because of this young man named Yun Xiao.

Moreover, Yun Xiao, who was only at the Middle Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm, had gotten the better of him, a fact that made it impossible for Feng Hang to swallow his pride.

That day inside Yurong Volcano, had Mo Qing not suddenly shown up, Yun Xiao might already have been slain by Feng Hang’s hands. Now, without Mo Qing to protect him, Feng Hang was confidently poised to blow Yun Xiao away with a single strike.

Sensing the strong Meridian Qi emanating from Feng Hang, Yun Xiao immediately turned his head and yelled loudly in a certain direction: "Elder Steward over there, won’t you intervene? There’s no rule about killing in the Task Hall, right?"

From his past experience in the Task Hall and based on how Guan Tong behaved, Yun Xiao knew that it wasn’t permitted to fight here. As soon as he entered the hall, he had sensed someone at the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm, who he figured must be the steward in charge of this Outer Sect Task Hall, and thus he cried out loudly.

This loud cry finally snapped everyone back to reality, stirring a peculiar feeling in their hearts, wondering how such a newly admitted outer disciple dared to offend Feng Hang, who ranked first on the Mortal List.

Moreover, looking at Feng Hang’s expression, it appeared that this genius, who was first on the Mortal List, had been at a disadvantage in a previous incident with the coarse-clothed young man, leading him to lash out without a second thought.

"Feng Hang, cease immediately!"

The steward of the Outer Sect Task Hall, Qin Wang, was also startled by Yun Xiao’s loud voice. He reasoned that with Yun Xiao’s Meridian Gathering Realm cultivation, he probably couldn’t withstand even one strike from Feng Hang. If an outer disciple were indeed killed in the Task Hall, he, the steward, would undoubtedly be implicated.

Thus, Qin Wang’s fierce shout contained his Peak Meridian Rushing Realm Qi, which caused some young men and women at the Meridian Introduction Realm to feel dizzy and overwhelmed, and it subdued the irrational Feng Hang.

No matter how arrogant Feng Hang was among these outer disciples, no matter if he was number one on the Mortal List, it was still just among the younger generation.

If compared to the entire Jade Pot Sect, not to mention the Elder Deacons, even the genius disciples of the Inner Sect were far superior to him.

Therefore, Feng Hang dared not offend Qin Wang, the steward of the Task Hall. Following that fierce shout, his launching figure suddenly halted, and his aura also subdued a bit at that moment.

"Hmph, Yun Xiao, enjoy your days of glory for now. On the arena of the Outer Sect Competition, I will see if you can still rely on external forces," said Feng Hang, with a hint of extreme killing intent hidden in his eyes beneath his Purple Robe, stirring a thought in Yun Xiao’s heart.

Regarding the so-called Outer Sect Competition, Yun Xiao was no longer unfamiliar; it was an annual grand event of the Jade Pot Sect for outer disciples and the only way for them to promote to the Inner Sect.

However, only the two strongest in this annual competition would truly enter the Jade Pot Sect’s Inner Sect. With hundreds of outer disciples competing, the battle for these two spots was fiercely intense.

A thought crossed Yun Xiao’s mind, but he no longer paid attention to Feng Hang. Having recently advanced to the Late Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm and with nearly ten days till the competition, who knew what could happen in ten days?

Moreover, Yun Xiao believed that even though Feng Hang was a genuine Early Stage Meridian Rushing Realm cultivator, with the power of Ancestor Vein and some potent methods, he might still have a fighting chance.

If he could luckily make another breakthrough in these nearly ten days, his odds of winning against Feng Hang at the Peak of Meridian Gathering Realm would be even greater.

Feng Hang’s backing down meant that spectators like Zhao Ningshu and Xuan Zhi would miss out on this expected spectacle, leaving them somewhat disappointed. Conversely, the outer disciples who were unfamiliar with Yun Xiao grew more curious about this coarse-clothed young man.

Yun Xiao glanced at Feng Hang and then headed straight toward the task desk on that side, nodding to familiar teammates like Tan Yun and Ling Wan along the way.

Now, everyone’s eyes were on Yun Xiao, all eager to see which kind of task this bold new outer disciple, who dared to offend Feng Hang, would undertake.

Of course, aside from those present in the Task Hall that day, other outer disciples who were unfamiliar with Yun Xiao all guessed that the coarse-clothed young man would at most take on a Mortal Rank Advanced task. As for the higher-rank Spiritual tasks, they did not even consider it.
