Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Pride List

"Who left these sword marks?"

Dongfang Yun looked at the several sword marks and asked the surrounding martial artists.

However, not a single person answered his question.

Although Dongfang Yun was a true disciple under the Sword Peak King and had an outgoing personality, always interacting with everyone and boasting about any insider information he had, the people here had quite an unusual relationship with him.

Yet at this moment, no one answered, which was obviously against common sense.

"What exactly happened? Someone tell me."

The expression on Dongfang Yun’s face suddenly became serious, and the martial artists around him, upon hearing his words, immediately told Dongfang Yun about the events that had occurred within the Formation Sect over the past few days.

After being reprimanded by Wang Ruxue, Dongfang Yun had been confined to Sword Peak for a while and only had the chance to leave Sword Peak after Wang Ruxue left for cultivation. Therefore, he was not aware of the recent happenings within the Formation Sect.

When everyone informed him about the matters concerning Lin Chen and Chang Bai, Dongfang Yun did not show any surprise, for he already knew about these incidents.

However, when the people informed him that in front of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion of the inner gate, five Formation Sect disciples died at Chang Bai’s hands, who acted ruthlessly without even stepping onto the Duel Platform, Dongfang Yun’s complexion finally showed a slight change.

The disciples around him, although not considered strong within the Formation Sect, shared similar interests with Dongfang Yun and had therefore become friends.

"This guy just killed someone so easily at the entrance of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion? Didn’t the Law Enforcement Team restrict him?"

Dongfang Yun asked.

"The Law Enforcement Team didn’t make a move. After all, it was Zheng Yuan and others who first caused trouble for Chang Bai, so it’s not considered Chang Bai causing willful disturbance by killing them."

"However, after that incident, Chang Bai has been acting with extreme arrogance within the Formation Sect, as if everyone is afraid of him. If only I could beat him, I would definitely teach him a good lesson."

"Yeah, that guy doesn’t take us seniors seriously at all, showing no respect whatsoever."

The people around discussed among themselves, and hearing this, Dongfang Yun also started to feel irritated.

Just then, a figure walked by from a distance, immediately attracting the attention of the group of martial artists.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yun went up to one of the martial artists, pulled him over, and began to inquire.

"Who is that person, causing such a big reaction from you all? Could it be Chang Bai?"

Dongfang Yun asked curiously.

"It’s not Chang Bai, but Lin Chen," replied the martial artist Dongfang Yun had stopped.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yun immediately chased after him and stopped Lin Chen.

"Kid, these guys are under my protection. What do you think you’re doing?"

Dongfang Yun looked at Lin Chen cautiously, speaking in a cold tone.

"Oh? They’re under your protection, and what’s that got to do with me?"

"If you’re worried about their safety, you should be looking for Chang Bai, not me."

Lin Chen understood the warning in Dongfang Yun’s words, but he did not care.

"Then so be it."

After saying this, Dongfang Yun took a deep look at Lin Chen and then left.

After Dongfang Yun left, he made an inquiry, found Chang Bai’s residence, and after making up some excuse, he taught Chang Bai a lesson.

Seeing the arrogant behavior Chang Bai had displayed over the past few days, not treating either seniors or juniors seriously, and now that he had been chastised by Dongfang Yun, everyone felt secretly pleased.

After being taught a lesson by Dongfang Yun, Chang Bai indeed started to act much more low-key within the Formation Sect, and he also began to enter the Medium Grade Cultivation Room for cultivation, just like Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had also encountered Chang Bai several times when entering the cultivation room and, seeing Chang Bai’s growing strength and those hateful eyes, Lin Chen felt immense pressure.

He had to improve his strength as quickly as possible since Chang Bai’s cultivation had incredibly broken through to the seventh level of the Reverting Void Realm, and Lin Chen now feared he was no match for him.

One day, as Lin Chen came out of the cultivation room and was about to return to his residence, he noticed that the Martial Arts Arena in the distance was filled with people and very lively.

Ordinarily, Lin Chen wouldn’t care about such liveliness.

But Lin Chen noticed that Qin Kaifeng was among the crowd, so he immediately went over.

"Brother Lin, you’re here too. Want to place a bet? These two guys are ranked within the top one thousand of the inner gate in the Formation Sect and are no ordinary fighters. The odds are quite high."

It turned out that a fight ring had been set up and inner gate powerhouses were dueling.

Both the inner and outer gates had a Pride List.

The top one thousand martial artists on the list received rewards from the Formation Sect each month. Even those at the bottom of the list would receive one hundred sect contribution points monthly, and the rewards increased the closer one got to the top of the list.

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up before he turned his gaze to the two martial artists on the stage.

The two on the stage were ranked 997th and 994th on the Inner Sect Pride List, respectively.

Lin Chen judged their cultivation levels to be at the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

He couldn’t help thinking that if he went all out, he might indeed defeat one of them.

By defeating someone on the list, one could take their place and claim the monthly sect rewards.

Here at the ring, the rule was that the participants who defeated their opponent would receive five hundred sect contribution points from them.

In addition, the surrounding martial artists also opened betting counters, where others could place wagers, and it seemed Qin Kaifeng also liked to engage in such activities, having placed a one-thousand-point bet on the slim man winning.

"Xuan Feng, can you make it or not? Use your Gale Claw now! With Zhang Meng’s ferocious attacks, you won’t have a chance if you don’t strike back."

"I’ve bet two hundred sect contribution points on you."

"Zhang Meng is exhausted. Now is his weakest moment. Quickly use your Gale Claw..."
