To Be Celestial's Emperor II
The Challenge II
“What does this mean?” Zhen Yuan raised his brows staring at the five of them unhappily.
“Master Zhen, you better retreat from the position of the current high elder and let our young master take your position!” said one of the elders.
Please note that apart from the main elders and the noble ones, only the high elders were limited to 100 people. Therefore, no one can be a high elder easily even if they have reached the 7th grade.
As per the custom of the central palace, when an elder wanted to become a high elder then the first one they had to be a fixed elder then challenged a high elder to fight alchemy. If he won then the position of the high elder would be snatched by him. This was also what made Shu Lian and Bald Kun not intend to take the position of High elder.
“Your young masters?” Zhen Yuan was confused.
“Our master is elder Fenglei, high elder of rank 30. While our young master is Tyrant, the elder remains to 5”
Zhen Yuan nodded, “So your young master is very confident feeling the alchemy I have is inferior to him?”
The five elders are annoying, “Master Zhen, it is better for you to retreat honorably than for our young master to humiliate you”
“Then I will wait for it to happen” Zhen Yuan walks forward leaving his fifth.
The five elders were furious to see Zhen Yuan treat them. Just like the others, many elders in the central palace were dissatisfied with Zhen Yuan, including the five. They thought that Zhen Yuan could reach his current position because he was lucky to have a Soul Essence Pill recipe. If it is not possible he will never touch the last 10 though.
Zhen Yuan did not care at all about their opinions, for him to be a high elder just to protect the sect of the Eternal Medicine and Poisonous Insects. If necessary he would not be a member of the central palace as he is today.
Inside the pavilion, Zhen Yuan passed by many high elders. Each of them looked at him cynically and disliked him. The news regarding Zhen Yuan rejecting their request must have spread and made their hatred for the young man even greater.
“I don't like that kind of look!” Zhen Yuan felt a murderous gaze from one of the high elders there.
The already extremely irritated Zhen Yuan no longer cared about him, with his extremely quick movements he had moved right in front of that person. The elder's face was shocked to find Zhen Yuan's extremely fast movements, yet he had time to say anything, intense pain felt in both of his eyes.
He quickly examined both of his eyes with his palms while continuing to endure the pain he felt.
His palm touched the eyelids that were now splattered with blood. Sensing both of his eyes were wet, the elder realized that Zhen Yuan had injured him.
The other elders who were inside the pavilion were astonished by Zhen Yuan's attitude. They saw Zhen Yuan prying the two elder's eyeballs and absorbing them in a strange way made the elders who saw him goosebumps in fear.
“Arrrkh, Zhen Yuan! You injured both my eyes” the elder yelled angrily at Zhen Yuan.
Zhen Yuan swung his hand once more, broke both hands of the elder then said, “I don't like someone yelling in front of me! This is the lesson I gave you. Remember your position in the future!”
The elder gave a terrified goosebump feeling the extremely strong soul pressure from Zhen Yuan. He was very sorry to underestimate the young man. But he also did not accept Zhen Yuan injuring both eyes and breaking his entire hand.
“Zhen Yuan! you are so brave! just look I will tell this to my brother and teach you a much more cruel lesson than this” the elder called his subordinates and asked them to lead him away.
The elder shook his head slowly, they knew that Zhen Yuan would have bad luck in the future. The elder that Zhen Yuan injured was a rank 76 elder, such a rank even though it was not top but not too bottom either. He had a sodara who was also a high elder of rank 13. Which is one of the great masters of the central palace.
“Maste Zhen, I appreciate you a little. If the elder comes back and makes trouble, you can ask my help” the Pavilion elder is very friendly, he sees everything and knows if Zhen Yuan is not wrong.
“Thanks elder!” Zhen Yuan was grateful, at least there were still some open-minded people. Zhen Yuan quickly gave some bottles of his homemade pill to the elder.
“About 100 top quality Soul pills and Golden Injuries for Soul” cultivators Zhen Yuan told the contents of the pill bottle.
