Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Zhu Chongjiu No Longer Tolerates!

"Ninth Junior Brother, why have you come?"

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu step into the council hall, a group of elders were all taken aback.

Zhu Chongjiu felt resentment in his heart, but it wasn’t appropriate to vent anger, so he cupped his hands together and said, "I originally wanted to find Eldest Senior Brother, but when I heard that Eldest Senior Brother had come here, I decided to take a look."

"We are discussing important matters right now, you can come find Eldest Senior Brother later."

An elder dressed in green waved his hand, somewhat impatiently.

But Zhu Chongjiu ignored that and turned to Li Haorong, saying, "Eldest Senior Brother, I heard you mention something about a secret realm trial, is there something new..."

Before he could finish his words, the elder who spoke earlier said with disdain, "Nine, we did mention it, but it’s related to us, and it has nothing to do with you, so stop disturbing us here!"

Zhu Chongjiu suddenly turned his head and stared at him, "Third Senior Brother, I might not be talented, but I am after all a Sect Elder! If there’s important business, can’t I stay here?"

"Alright alright, Nine," seeing Zhu Chongjiu who was usually meek, daring to confront the Third Elder, Li Haorong certainly knew that it must have been influenced by Lu Chen. He then tried to mediate, "I did mention the secret realm and the trial, but that secret realm can only be entered by those below the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although you’ve recently accepted an apprentice, that kid is too hostile and shows no respect for his seniors, and is not suitable to represent our Casting Gear Pavilion!"

"Eh? Nine has also accepted an apprentice?"

"That’s quite rare! Nine, you finally came to your senses. What kind of exceptional talent did you accept?"

"Hahaha, these years Nine has been so picky, disdaining all apprentices. It seems this time, it must either be a cultivation genius or an artifact refining prodigy!"

The other elders chimed in, but their tone was mocking. How could he not hear the sarcasm?

He couldn’t help but clench his fists. Is this the result of my years of yielding?

I originally wanted peace for the sect, to be polite to my fellow Senior Brothers.

But you all took advantage, inch by inch, never truly seeing me as your Junior Brother!

Even Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother knew I also had a disciple who has officially joined the sect!

But why!

Such an important meeting and not even a word to notify me?

Years of accumulated rage were on the verge of erupting.

"Ahem..."

The Second Elder, Guan Ronglei, gave a light cough, and the council hall immediately quieted down.

"Nine’s apprentice is not some exceptional talent as you claim, but a Loose Cultivator with Five Spirit Roots at the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

The room remained silent.

But after a moment, a thunderous laughter erupted.

"Nine, there must be something unique about that Five Spirit Root kid, eh?"

"Maybe he’s particularly good at chores like pouring tea and carrying water."

"Indeed, Nine is so discerning, how could he have taken on a Five Spirit Root apprentice as if he’d lost his mind?"

The cold mockery poured into Zhu Chongjiu’s ears, line by line.

He ignored them, instead looking towards Li Haorong, his voice carrying through and overpowering theirs."

"Eldest Senior Brother, my apprentice is also at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which should qualify him for that secret realm, right?"

"Nine," Third Elder Chen Mingyang suddenly stood up, speaking sternly, "who are you, and what is the status of your apprentice? This secret realm was discovered by the Haotian Sect, and all second-tier sects have received quotas! Our Casting Gear Pavilion, due to special circumstances, can also send a few members! Your apprentice, does he qualify?"

The other elders no longer made a commotion, just silently watching Zhu Chongjiu.

But Zhu Chongjiu looked towards Li Haorong and Guan Ronglei, asking, "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, is the identity of me as the ninth elder of the Ji Pavilion, already void?"

Without waiting for them to speak, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "I wonder if the Sect Leader, our master, is aware of this."

"If the Sect Leader says that my disciple doesn’t qualify, then as a Junior Brother, I have no objections!"

As his voice fell, Zhu Chongjiu decisively turned and stepped out of the council hall!

Chen Mingyang had mentioned the Haotian Sect, then he had to fight for Lu Chen’s chance even more!

That was a first-rate sect!

The secret realm they found, although not his destiny, might still be an advantage for Lu Chen, who had overcome the Heavenly Abyss!

The group of elders just stared blankly as Zhu Chongjiu soared into the air, flew over the council hall, and headed towards the back mountain of the sect!
