Vol.2-Chapter 228 – If You’re Unconvinced, Then Come and Fight!

In particular, Du Jun and Zhang Xu’s expressions were extremely ugly. Fortunately, the ranking was not set in stone and could still be changed.

Even a few prominent elders were somewhat unhappy. Although they knew Zhao Jiuge was Jian Wuxian’s disciple, they didn’t expect Jian Wuxian to place his own disciple on the ranking. They weren’t certain of Zhao Jiuge’s strength and thought Jian Wuxian had planned this.

What they didn’t know was that the ranking this time was not set by Jian Wuxian. Instead, it was decided by the three pillars of the sect, Elder Dawn Wind, Elder Waning Moon, and Elder Pine Tree.

Jian Wuxian had clearly seen everyone's expressions, but he didn’t reveal any emotion. No one knew what he was thinking or where he was looking at.

When Xue Qingfeng said the name “Zhao Jiuge,” he paused for a long time. When he saw the expressions of the elders, he coldly smiled in his heart. The disputes between the factions were a long-standing matter. He was once like that himself, but as his strength increased, he looked down upon these things and was too lazy to participate. As long as he listened to the Head Teacher, it would be fine.

Others might not know about Zhao Jiuge’s information, but he was very clear about it. When he heard something from Elder Waning Moon, a huge shockwave was set off in his heart. He knew that all those that looked down upon Zhao Jiuge were going to suffer, and those higher-ups were no exception.

Did they really think that Jian Wuxian had no idea what was going one and had no plans? It was obvious that this was not the case!

The words of disdain continued. Zhao Jiuge’s mouth twitched and his gaze was gloomy. A nameless fire burned in his heart, but at the same time, he calmed himself down. Soon, he would prove himself and give those people that looked down upon him a good shock!

The discussions below continued, but Xue Qingfeng ignored it all. He continued with the new ranking.

“Rank 1, Sha Sha.”

There was no cheering or questioning. Everyone knew about this little girl with demonic talent. Her Nascent Soul cultivation silenced them and, most importantly, she was so young.

Even those that were unconvinced couldn’t do anything, as she had the strength. After the announcement was over, the crowd could no longer suppress their dissatisfaction. They all clamored that they wanted to challenge Zhao Jiuge.

This was the second time Jian Wuxian’s disciples had occupied the rank one and rank two spots. Last time was Ceng Qingniu and Fu Hongling. This time it was Sha Sha and Zhao Jiuge.

No one doubted Sha Sha’s Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, but the rank two, Zhao Jiuge, became the focus. He was a dark horse that had only been part of the inner sect for less than a year. Many people wanted to challenge him and use his status as the Head Teacher’s disciple to increase their own fame. He had the most people who were unconvinced by his position.

A young man in a red sword robe dismissively said, “Hmph, how can this Zhao Jiuge occupy rank two on the Sword Pavilion Ranking? Although he defeated Zhou Hongyong, I guess it was luck.”

The young man was not tall and his face was filled with potholes. He was Head Seat Zhang Xu’s fourth disciple, Guo Liangliang, who was ranked 10th.

Beside him was a tall young man with dark skin wearing a black coat who had a smile on his face. Both were Zhang Xu’s disciples, but he was the fifth disciple, Chen Hailong, who was ranked eighth.

Hearing his senior brother’s words, Chen Hailong still had a smile on his smile. He didn’t seem to care about what Guo Liangliang said and continued to smile. “Then how about we go challenge him later and see what’s so special about the Head Teacher’s disciple?”

There was a short young man with the aura of a fierce beast. He was silent but looked at Zhao Jiuge coldly. From the ill intent in his eyes, it was obvious he was unconvinced by Zhao Jiuge’s rank.

Fang Qiwen and Zhou Hongyong watched this with cold smiles. They thought Zhao Jiuge deserved all the heat targeted at him.

They weren’t the only ones—many disciples that weren’t on the ranking were unconvinced by Zhao Jiuge’s rank. However, they were at least a bit self-aware and knew that they would only be asking to be humiliated if they were to challenge him. They decided to wait for the other people on the ranking to challenge Zhao Jiuge, and they would watch the show.

The only person who wasn’t dissatisfied with Zhao Jiuge was Jiulian. Seeing the situation, she looked at Zhao Jiuge with a worried gaze. Her eyes revealed how anxious she was.

Feeling this gaze, although Zhao Jiuge didn’t want to get too entangled with Jiulian, he still had to respond out of politeness to ease her worry. Zhao Jiuge had too many emotional entanglements already—his agreement with Su Su, his admiration of Bo Re, and his search for Bai Qingqing.

He didn’t have any feelings toward Jiulian, but Fu Hongling, who just happened to see this, didn’t think so.

Fu Hongling was originally worried about Zhao Jiuge and looked over. She found it funny and infuriating at the same time. She was worried for him, but he still had the heart to flirt with a girl.

The reason Sha Sha wasn’t here wasn’t because she didn’t want to come, but because she had reached a key point in her cultivation and didn’t have the time to participate. That was why all the pressure had to be shouldered by Zhao Jiuge. Whether he could pass the test or not would depend on him. The Mysterious Heaven Peak could not lose their status.

Xue Qingfeng had long expected the situation below. He ignored the crowd and instead looked back at Jian Wuxian. When he saw Jian Wuxian nod, he felt at peace and turned back toward the disciples below.

“Okay, all of you be quiet. I know a lot of you are unconvinced, but you have to wait. You will have a chance to deal with it. Now, there are two more matters to announce, so let me finish first.”

Xue Qingfeng’s words contained his might, and the disciples no longer dared to make a fuss. They all silently watched Xue Qingfeng.

“The first matter is the Battle Competition between the sects in two years. You new disciples will be the main force this time. I believe you all know how cruel the Battle Competition is. I hope all of you will cultivate well for the next two years and earn glory for the sect.”

Xue Qingfeng quickly went over this matter. Many of the disciples knew about the Battle Competition, and when the time arrived, there would naturally be a more detailed explanation.

“The other matter is that Zhao Jiuge will be the new Chief Head Disciple and will represent the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect in the competition between the seven holy lands in a month. According to the old rules, those that are unconvinced many challenge those on the ranking themselves.”

After Xue Qingfeng’s words echoed, an uproar echoed through the crowd. Zhao Jiuge had become the Chief Head Disciple and not that demonic genius Sha Sha!

This made the disciples who were unconvinced by Zhao Jiuge become hotblooded and restless. The position of Chief Head Disciple was a position of honor, and it was an identity even the other holy lands respected once they went out to train in the world. Generally, the Chief Head Disciple was an undoubted genius that was stronger than everyone else.

Du Jun and Zhang Xu behind the red fence were restless. They didn’t know what Jian Wuxian’s intent was. Why was Sha Sha not the Chief Head Disciple, but this Zhao Jiuge, who they found a bit unfamiliar?

Although they couldn’t figure it out, it wouldn’t interrupt their plan. This was because they had planned to get the spot for the competition between the seven holy lands.

Du Jun was the first that couldn’t endure it and stepped forward. “Head Teacher, this decision seems inappropriate.”

Du Jun didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but the always calm Jian Wuxian seemed to smile.

Jian Wuxian didn’t react much to Du Jun’s question and simply raised his eyebrow. “Oh? What do you think is wrong with it?”

Hearing Jian Wuxian’s words, Du Jun immediately began to argue. “Ignoring the fact that the position of the Chief Head Disciple is not an ordinary position, it represents the face of the future generation of the sect. If someone who lacks strength obtains the position, that person will likely lose face for the sect when they go train in the outside world. The other matter is the slot for the competition between the seven holy lands. Does the Head Teacher remember that during the training exercise, you said that the slot would go to whichever peak had the stronger disciple?”

Zhang Xu didn’t fall behind and quickly walked up with a smile. He echoed, “What Head Seat Du has said is correct, and I heard it as well. And Head Seat Du’s words are reasonable.”

Xue Qingfeng was frowning deeply on the side. These two old foxes were really shameless. Usually, the two of them were fighting each other, but now, for a bit of glory, they were shamelessly working together. It was not like people didn't know what they were planning.

However, Jian Wuxian was still expressionless, so it was impossible to see through his thoughts. He suddenly smiled. “I did say that, and isn’t there still a chance for people to challenge Zhao Jiuge? If anyone wins against Zhao Jiuge, then they will obtain the slot to go to the competition between the seven holy lands, and Zhao Jiuge will forfeit the position of Chief Head Disciple.”

Du Jun and Zhang Xu couldn’t hide their joy after hearing this. Du Jun immediately smiled and said, “Is Head Teacher serious?”

Jian Wuxian calmly nodded. “I’m serious.”

Zhang Xu still felt a bit uneasy and frowned. “What about that girl Sha Sha?”

“I have other arrangements for her. She will be the hidden ace for the sect, and I won’t expose her so soon.” Jian Wuxian’s voice was still calm.

Hearing this, Du Jun and Zhang Xu both relaxed. Looking at each other, they both noticed the joy in their eyes. After all, if Sha Sha were to participate, then their disciples would have no chance. She was a full realm above the rest of the disciples after all. As for Zhao Jiuge, although his strength was good, he had only entered the inner sect half a year ago.

The disciples below weren't aware of the situation on the square. When Elder Xue Qingfeng finished speaking, the disciples below completely erupted.

Most of them were talking about Zhao Jiuge. Most people felt disdain and doubt toward him.

All kind of voices entered Zhao Jiuge’s ears, and his expression became unfriendly. Fu Hongling looked around. Her brows moved slightly and then she recovered as if nothing had happened.

It was Wu Tianshan who felt a little depressed. Although he didn’t really like Zhao Jiuge, they still had the same teacher. Seeing Zhao Jiuge being questioned like this made him feel unhappy.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly moved, which attracted the attention of the people watching him. They wanted to know how this dark horse would cope with the situation.

Zhao Jiuge walked toward an open space on the square. He was in front, so he soon arrived.

Everyone knew that Zhao Jiuge couldn’t endure it and wanted to make a display. They saw Zhao Jiuge’s gloomy expression, and he stood there with his head held high.

He already had the quaint, black sword sheath in his hand, and his dark eyes slowly wept past all the disciples here. He quietly said, “If you’re unconvinced, then come and fight!”
