Chapter 423: Inscriptions Master Challenge 4

Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, the elders, and spectators were immediately at a loss.

They expected many things when Ancestor Song suddenly flew to the stage.

However, no one expected him to suddenly ask Zhen Yuan to kneel.

Fortunately, Zhen Yuan had seen many scenes and soon recovered from his shock.

With narrowed eyes, he sneered and prepared to refuse the man’s instruction.

However, before he could say anything, a silver lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck Ancestor Song.

Seeing this, Shen Xu shook his head with a knowing expression.

’As expected, Ayuan is the favoured child, and I am just an ordinary kid.’ He thought.

After all, when Xuanyuan Yan mentioned her wager terms, the sky only darkened and exuded threatening vibes, but when it was Zhen Yuan’s turn, the way of heaven struck with no hesitation.

That said, Shen Xu didn’t mind since he had long understood that Zhen Yuan’s unknown identity was extraordinary.

Most importantly, Zhen Yuan was his, and that was all that mattered.

“Fellow Daoist Song…” Luo Jianfeng called in a shocked voice.

However, he didn’t approach the man because the sky was still dark and looked ready to unleash another lightning bolt.

“Fellow Daoist Song…” Luo Jianfeng called again, but suddenly thought of something and turned to Zhen Yuan with a meaningful expression.

’Could the way of heaven be warning fellow Daoist Song because of this kid?’ He wondered and subconsciously recalled the previous incident.

’It seems we can’t afford to offend these two kids.’ He thought with a solemn look.

A moment later, he walked to Ancestor Song and whispered something.

Hearing Luo Jianfeng’s speculation, Ancestor Song sneered and didn’t believe it.

After all, the way of heaven was not impartial and often favoured some cultivators, but this favour depended on merit and luck.

That said, regardless of favour, the way of heaven had never shown up to protect a cultivator.

Additionally, he had no ill will towards Zhen Yuan and only wanted to accept the kid as his disciple.

Thinking of this, Ancestor Song formed a few dust-cleaning seals to clean his clothes and tidy his hair.

After cleaning himself, he turned to Zhen Yuan.

“Kid, I have taught many inscription masters, but I have never accepted an apprentice. Will you kneel and worship me as your master?” He asked, but his words angered the heavens, and the sky became darker.

’What does this mean?’ Luo Jianfeng wondered, his eyes narrowed into slits.

’Does the way of heaven think fellow Daoist Song is unworthy of being Zhen Yuan’s master?’ He speculated and subconsciously stepped back, luckily avoiding the second lightning bolt.

Seeing this, Luo Jianfeng shook his head.

’The second bolt was more powerful than the first. I am afraid fellow Daoist Song may encounter an accident if he continues speaking.’ He thought but didn’t say anything.

After all, he had already warned the person and wasn’t obligated to do more than that.

“Fellow Daoist…” Ancestor Song suddenly shouted and began looking around.

“We can talk about it if you also wish to accept Zhen Yuan as your disciple. There is no need for these sneak attacks.” He said, and the spectators couldn’t help but be surprised.

“It turns out it’s a hidden enemy.” Someone said.

“I almost thought it was the way of heaven.”

“What are you talking about? Why would the way of heaven interfere in mortal affairs?”

“The way of heaven may favour some cultivators, but it would never interfere in such a blatant manner.”

“I am relieved that it is not the way of heaven but…, isn’t the hidden senior too powerful? He even hid his presence from Ancestor Song and the other elders.”

“Maybe it’s a supreme elder or a loose immortal.”

“I am more interested in fellow Daoist Zhen. Will he accept Ancestor Song as his master?”

“Why wouldn’t he? Ancestor Song is the only level nine inscription Master in the Tianxuan continent?”

“But I heard that junior brother Shen and fellow daoist Zhen don’t want masters.”

“Water flows down, and people climb up. Fellow Daoist Zhen will definitely not miss this opportunity to be a level nine inscription Master.”

“Maybe fellow Daoist Zhen already has a level nine inscription inheritance.”

“He may have an inheritance, but why insist on taking the hard road when he could have a master to guide him?”

“Ancestor Song may be a level nine inscription Master, but…” A female cultivator started with an awkward expression.

However, she soon collected her thoughts and continued.

“Is he qualified to be senior brother Zhen’s master?” She asked, and the surrounding people fell silent.

A moment later, everyone turned to the stage, just in time to hear Zhen Yuan’s answer.

“Thank you for your appreciation.” Zhen Yuan said, but didn’t kneel, indirectly showing his attitude.

Ancestor Song didn’t expect this and subconsciously frowned.

However, he was wary of the hidden master and didn’t dare to force Zhen Yuan.

Thinking this, he snorted and flew off the stage.

Zhen Yuan won the challenge with no suspense, and the spectators couldn’t help but be excited.

“Ten out of ten. Fellow Daoist Shen and senior brother Zhen actually won all ten challenges.” Someone excitedly shouted.

“I can’t believe we have such monsters in our Tianxuan sect.”

“They won countless treasures through the wagers and are about to collect more from the treasure house. I am so envious.”

“It’s not necessarily a good thing to have so many treasures. Do you think they will be able to keep them?”

“You think someone will try to rob them?”

“I think anyone who dares will face a tragic disaster.” A male cultivator said with a knowing look.

“What do you mean?”

“First, fellow Daoist Zhen and junior brother Shen are not weak. They can not only protect themselves, but they also have a mysterious background. Who knows how many masters are protecting them in the dark?”

“Second, do you think the elders will let anything happen to them?”

“I agree with this fellow Daoist.”Someone started and quickly continued.

“Our Tianxuan sect has suffered humiliating defeats in recent inter-sect competitions. Fellow Daoist Shen and senior brother Zhen are the chance we finally got. Do you think the elders will let this luck flow away?”
