Ye Guchen's words were undoubtedly like a huge stone falling into the ocean, causing huge waves in the square!
The voices of countless disciples and elders discussing and shouting resounded loudly.
Ye Guchen's words undoubtedly pierced that layer of window paper.
Ever since he came to Jianzong Tallin, although most people have treated him with respect, there are also many people who think that Ye Guchen's cultivation has been ruined and it is difficult to improve his strength.
With Ye Guchen's state of complete exhaustion, not only did he still maintain the fifth rank in the inner courtyard, he could even occupy a venerable cave alone.
This undoubtedly dissatisfied some people.
And among them, most are inner court disciples.
Unlike the disciples in the outer courtyard, they blindly respected Ye Guchen.
What they believe more is that strength is the most important thing, and only those with truly strong strength can gain their recognition and respect.
Beyond that, all fame is useless.
Including Feng Manlou's admiration, it has also become a favoritism and special treatment among the inner courtyard disciples who are arrogant at heart.
Ye Guchen stayed in the inner courtyard for a while, and could hear such remarks in secret from time to time.
Although he didn't care about things like reputation, Ye Guchen was a little tired of being talked about like this every day and dragging Feng Manlou into it.
Qiu Shan's scheming undoubtedly wanted Ye Guchen to say this, and was finally forced into a desperate situation.
Ye Guchen took advantage of the situation and went with the flow, directly following Qiu Shan's wishes.
After hearing Ye Guchen's words, although Qiu Shan's expression did not change much, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
He said: "Ye Guchen, you are indeed a genius among swordsmen. I have never forced you to leave the Sword Sect Tower Forest. You should think twice before you act."
"Furthermore, the ranking battle in the inner courtyard will not be like today, which is just a competition of sword skills. When the time comes, there will be no restrictions on any means. Infuriating energy, soul power, sword skills, and secret skills can all be used. You have to think clearly. After all, you
He is a person whose true energy has been completely exhausted.”
As soon as Qiu Shan said these words, the elders and disciples around him also frowned and sighed secretly.
If Ye Guchen was in his prime, no one would dare to comment on his current status and resources.
But the exhaustion of his true energy and the loss of his potential were Ye Guchen's fatal injuries.
This is also the reason why many inner court disciples are dissatisfied.
Even if Ye Guchen once created a miracle, that was in the past.
Right now, in the eyes of these proud inner court disciples, Ye Guchen is a useless person.
Even today, Ye Guchen defeated Gu Tuo with his amazing sword skills, shocking everyone.
But the ranking battle in the inner courtyard is not just a competition of sword skills. Realm and strength are the strongest means.
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that if they really used the realm of true energy, not to mention Gu Tuo, even an ordinary disciple of the inner courtyard with the third transformation of the soul could easily defeat Ye Guchen who had no true energy.
Of course, this is everyone's guess. After all, Ye Guchen has never really competed with anyone since he arrived in the inner courtyard.
"Ye Guchen, you made this oath yourself and you cannot go back on it." At this moment, the young man in blue shirt Teng Jingshan spoke with a cold look of disdain in his eyes.
"Tengjing Mountain..." Ye Guchen looked around.
Teng Jingshan ranks eleventh in the inner courtyard with his cultivation of the Four Soul Changes, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
And his resentment towards Ye Guchen was very deep.
"Ye Guchen, your sword skills really surprised me, but so what, in the inner court ranking battle, I, Li Lingxiao, will let everyone know that you... are just a clown." Li Lingxiao spoke with an extremely cold tone.
However.
He had already promised that he would get back everything he had lost in the Inner Court Ranking Competition.
This naturally includes the fifth ranking in the inner courtyard.
Seeing the disciples in the inner courtyard jumping out to question and sarcastically one by one, whether it was Mu Xingzhu or the disciples in the outer courtyard who regarded Ye Guchen as their idol, they all felt extremely uncomfortable and complained for Ye Guchen.
"Tsk, tsk, this Ye Guchen is quite unpopular in the inner courtyard." On the other side, Ji Ling tskted and shook her head, but she didn't jump out. With her fourth ranking, there was no conflict of interest with Ye Guchen.
"But why do I always feel a faint threat from him? What other hidden methods does this swordsman have?" Ji Ling frowned slightly and thought to himself.
Ye Guchen stood in the center of the crowd, with his hands behind his back. Facing the complicated gazes of everyone, he was like a needle in the sea, his breath calm and unwavering.
"Oh, forget it, Ye Guchen, since you are so insistent, I won't say anything. In the ranking battle in two months, if you can keep the top five in the inner court, I promise you that you can do whatever you want with the Sword Sect Tallin's King-level swordsmanship.
Choose one, and not only that, you will also become the leader of the inner courtyard disciples like Yan Wushuang. If you fail, then follow your own vows." Qiu Shan waved his hand slightly.
Qiu Shan's words undoubtedly completely settled the situation.
In the inner court ranking battle two months later, it will be known soon whether Ye Guchen will go or stay, whether he will once again become a blockbuster, or just disappear.
After that, Qiu Shan took a deep look at Ye Guchen, shook his head slightly, and left directly.
"Ye Guchen is really still a young man with a sharp mind. He will jump into the pit at the slightest agitation. If he were an old man, he would be patient for a while and look for a chance to turn over. Oh, it is so easy to break after just passing through..." Who
None of them saw Qiu Shan, who had his back to everyone and a deep smile on his face.
Qiu Shan had already made plans for Ye Guchen's Venerable Cave.
But because Feng Manlou was in front of him, he couldn't do anything to Ye Guchen, so he could only use this method to force Ye Guchen to hand over the Venerable Cave.
He didn't think Ye Guchen could win. In fact, most people didn't think Ye Guchen could win.
Even though Ye Guchen's sword skills shocked everyone today, the real competition still focused on the realm of cultivation.
As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten societies. In the eyes of everyone, no matter how good Ye Guchen's swordsmanship is, if he is directly crushed by a person with a high level of cultivation, he will not be able to resist at all.
It is precisely because of this that most of the disciples in the inner courtyard looked at Ye Guchen with a touch of pity.
After Qiu Shan left, Feng Manlou said calmly: "Ye Guchen, if you have time later, come to Jian Zong Pagoda."
"Yes." Ye Guchen nodded slightly.
Fengmanlou also left.
"Senior Brother Ye..." As soon as Feng Manlou left, Mu Xingzhu stepped forward, with worry and even more distress in his beautiful eyes.
The Great Elder, Elder Gutuo, and all the disciples in the inner courtyard, these figures who were considered superior in Mu Xingzhu's eyes, were all trying to suppress Ye Guchen.
"Xingzhu, I'm fine." Although Ye Guchen's injuries were mostly healed by Feng Manlou, Qingjun's face still looked pale.
He looked deeply at Gu Tuo.
Gu Tuo felt a little guilty after seeing Ye Guchen.
"Elder Gutuo, do you still remember the bet you and I made?" Ye Guchen said in an incomprehensible tone.
"This..." Gu Tuo's face turned pale when he heard this, and he froze there for a moment.
All the elders and disciples around him also looked at him.
They all heard clearly about the previous bet, and Gu Tuo even swore that if he lost to Ye Guchen, he would kneel down, kowtow three times, and worship him as his teacher.
When he made the bet, Gu Tuo never thought that he would lose, thinking it was impossible.
But now, the proud action at the beginning has made it difficult for Gu Tuo to get off the tiger.
At this moment, Gu Tuo felt like a light on his back.
Although because of Gu Tuo's status as an elder, no one dared to discuss and ridicule at will, a strange sneer still flashed through the eyes of those disciples from time to time.
This made De Gutuo's face feel hot and he felt like he was about to vomit blood.
Seeing Gu Tuo's attitude, Ye Guchen shook his head slightly. He never thought that Gu Tuo would really honor the bet.
Just when Gu Tuo was about to open his mouth to find an excuse, Ye Guchen suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Elder Gu Tuo doesn't want to fulfill the bet, but I have never considered taking you as my disciple. After all, you are a defeated general."
, and you are too old and have poor qualifications. I feel that Mu Xingzhu seems to be ten thousand times better than you, and he is also... very considerate. "
As soon as Ye Guchen said these words, Gu Tuo was stunned.
You actually compare him with a yellow-haired girl, and you can't... compare him?
At this moment, there were some disciples around, covering their mouths with their hands, as if they couldn't hold back their laughter, but there was a hint of mockery in their eyes when they looked at Gu Tuo.
After today's incident came out, the reputation of his inner dean elder was completely ruined.
"Boy, you..." Gu Tuo's blood surged, his old face turned red due to congestion, and even a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Guchen ignored the furious Gu Tuo and turned to stare at Qin Lin'er with cold eyes.
Qin Lin'er was stared at by Ye Guchen, her charming face was as pale as paper.
"Qin Lin'er, I said that within five days, I will see thunder from the sky and the earth. If I don't see it..." Ye Guchen paused. Although he didn't say anything, it made Qin Lin'er's face change.
Even paler.
In her heart, she had a deep hatred for Ye Guchen, and there was deep resentment hidden deep in her pupils, but she did not dare to show it at all.
The thunder of heaven and earth was originally something Qin Lin'er had obtained. After Qin Lin'er's breakthrough in cultivation, she would have the opportunity to refine it. However, at this moment, because of this bet, she had to give it to Ye Guchen.
This made Qin Lin'er feel angry and it was hard to understand.
"Uncle Qin Baizhan will not let me hand over the strange thunder to you." Qin Lin'er reluctantly spoke and gritted her teeth.
"Qin Baizhan, he will not stop you." Ye Guchen's eyes narrowed and he said with deep meaning.
Qin Lin'er must have been staying in the Jianzong Pagoda Forest and never returned to the Qin family, so she still doesn't know Qin Baizhan's condition.
Qin Baizhan is still farming in Lianhua Village, how could he possibly stop Qin Lin'er from taking advantage of the Heaven and Earth Thunder?
"Besides..." Ye Guchen glanced at the inner courtyard disciples again.
For some reason, the inner courtyard disciples felt a slight chill in their hearts when they were glanced at by Ye Guchen's eyes, which were as deep as ancient wells.
"Two months from now, there will be a ranking battle in the inner courtyard. I, Ye Guchen, will not be able to hold back a single inch, so you guys... take care of yourself!"
Ye Guchen looked cold, flicked his sleeves, and left directly.
Mu Xingzhu followed closely behind, leaving behind a group of inner court disciples with blank faces.
