Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Chen Xuan walked out of his cave and headed towards the Chuan Gong Temple. There were only a few days left until the day of the Grand Competition, and many disciples who were participating in the competition had already come out of their secluded cultivation.

  "Hello, Elder Chen."

  Many disciples were greeting Chen Xuan in front of him, and Chen Xuan responded to each one without a hint of arrogance.

  "Brother Chen, Brother Ye is also in the Transmission Hall now. Many of our sect's inner disciples are gathering at the Transmission Hall today, are you going there too?" an inner disciple asked.

  "Yes, I'm also going to Chuan Gong Hall." Chen Xuan responded.

  This Master Chen is much more down-to-earth than some of the older disciples, and is easier to get along with. Some new disciples discussed this among themselves after Chen Xuan left.

  Chen Xuan also arrived at the Transmission Hall, where many disciples were gathered. It was likely that there would be a big competition in a few days and they all came to exchange for some elixirs to maintain their spiritual energy during battles. Chen Xuan also spotted several familiar figures and walked over towards them.

  "Yeshixiong, what are you guys talking about?"

  Everyone turned around and saw Chen Xuan walking over.

  "You've also come, Chen Xuan."

  "I'm here to introduce you to these few people, this is Liu Hang Shixiong, this is Zhu Shaogun Shixiong, they are all the strongest disciples of our Lian Shanfeng. The others you already know, so I won't introduce them. You guys chat first, I'll go over there to exchange something." Ye Yun said and left, leaving Chen Xuan with the others.

  Chen Xuan nodded to a few people and exchanged greetings, discovering that Liu Hang's strength was also at the half-step True Martial realm, similar to Lu Yunfei's. The several people who brought him over were already very familiar with Chen Xuan.

  "Chen Xuan, your strength has increased a lot. You're really a little abnormal now. Even I can't see through your strength." Luffy said with admiration.

  Chen Xuan politely responded with a "yes".

  "You're Chen Xuan."

  At this time, a not-so-good voice came over, and Chen Xuan saw that it was his senior, Zhu Shaogroup.

  "What's wrong, brother? I'm Chen Xuan, is there a problem?" Chen Xuan replied without hesitation.

  "I heard that you've been at Danxuan Gate for just over a month and have already offended several mountain peaks. You even went solo to Douling Peak for an outer disciple, and destroyed Lingfeng's mid-grade spiritual instrument, the Yushui Sword. Do you know that this has brought more enemies to our disciples from Lian Mountain Peak? On the main peak, you also had a fight with Luoyunfei from Tongtian Peak, and you even made a bet with him - if you lose, you'll have to apologize to him by kowtowing. We at Lian Mountain Peak won't interfere in your personal affairs, but you can't drag our entire mountain peak's disciples into this. If you lose, all of our disciples will be unable to hold their heads up when they see Tongtian Peak's disciples from now on." Zhu Shaogong scolded Chen Xuan with a stern tone.

  "Zhu Shaogun, you didn't find a good disciple this time. You see that the disciples we brought back have better qualifications than yours, and you became jealous. In the main hall of Fengzhu Peak, you even ostracized Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan offending Lingfeng of Douling Peak was an act of righteousness, he wouldn't ignore him just because he's an outer sect disciple. The duel with Luoyunfei on the main peak was also set up by Bali Ming in the Xuanyuan Tower, who wanted to take away Chen Xuan's cultivation qualifications, but was defeated by Chen Xuan. It was only after that Bali Ming asked Luoyunfei to intervene that they agreed to a duel. All of these were legitimate acts of self-defense by Chen Xuan, how can you say he has many enemies?"

  Rufy stood by and said with a burst of energy.

  Chen Xuan probably also knew what it meant.

  "Thanks, Lu Shixiong, for speaking up for me. I don't need others to point fingers at what I do. You said I brought all the disciples of Lian Shan Peak into this, can you represent all the disciples? Besides, my own affairs don't need your concern, Zhu Shixiong. The people I've offended, I'll deal with myself and won't implicate any of the Lian Shan Peak disciples. What you said is just your own opinion, right?" Chen Xuan also retorted sharply.

  "You see, it's like this, and yet you still say that we haven't implicated the disciples of Lian Shan Peak? We are all connected by a single breath, and if you lose to Lu Yunfei this time, you'll have to kowtow and admit your guilt. In the end, it will be our entire Lian Shan Peak's reputation that is lost. And yet you still say that we've implicated all of our disciples." Zhu Shaogroup said provocatively.

  "Is it certain that Brother Zhu thinks I will lose to Lu Yunfei? Are you hoping I'll lose to him? Besides, who wins or loses is still unknown. You're here making grand statements saying I'll definitely lose. What do you mean by this? If Chen Xuan has committed any wrongdoing against Brother Zhu, then Chen Xuan will apologize for it."

  Although Chen Xuan apologized verbally, everyone present could hear that he was expressing his dissatisfaction to Zhu Shaogang, and it was full of a provocative tone.

  "Chen Xuan, don't think that just because you've had some kind of lucky encounter and your strength has increased so quickly, you can be arrogant and look down on others. Everyone present here has had their own lucky encounters. You've only been at Danxuan Gate for two months, but already the entire sect knows about your overbearing and domineering behavior. On Lian Shan Peak, you even injured three inner disciples and took away all of their cultivation resources. What you're doing is no different from the evil path." said Zhu Shaogroup.

  "Is that what you mean, Brother Zhu? You want to take their side and teach me a lesson? Well, I, Chen Xuan, will take it on. What other charges do you have against me, Brother Zhu? Let's hear them all at once, and I'll take responsibility for them together."

  Chen Xuan didn't even bother explaining things to him. The best way to deal with people like this was to beat them until they behaved themselves.

  Chen Xuan originally wanted to explain, but those people were actually coming to rob him. Chen Xuan now heard that Zhu Shaogang was clearly looking for trouble, immediately putting a lot of hats on himself. Chen Xuan also saw that Zhu Shaogang's strength was at the edge of half-step True Martial Arts, but not as deep as Liu Hang's in front of him.

  Others saw the atmosphere was not right, so they came up to mediate. We all understand Chen Xuan's situation and it was just self-defense. He didn't do anything arrogant or overbearing," said an older disciple. "Let's just consider today's matter settled, everyone should go back to what they were doing."

  "Never mind."

  Zhu Shaogroup sneered.

  "This Chen Xuan is obviously arrogant, seeing us without even a bow, just a casual greeting. One look and you can tell he lacks upbringing, coming from some small alleyway, who knows how his parents taught him, so ignorant of the rules, does he speak to our senior brothers like this too? Clearly doesn't put us in his eyes, been here for two months and already causing trouble, who knows what will happen next."

  Zhu Shaogun felt that his face was really unbearable, and he didn't expect that he still wanted to teach Chen Xuan a lesson. But Chen Xuan was too ignorant of the current situation, and in public, he made Zhu Shaogun lose face. Zhu Shaogun couldn't swallow this insult.

  As soon as Zhu Shaogun spoke, a killing aura emanated from Chen Xuan's body. Some others also looked down on Zhu Shixiong's behavior now. As long as you have the ability, even if it's your first day in the sect, you have the right to be arrogant. If not, you can only be humble and courteous when facing stronger seniors. Why should Chen Xuan be polite to Zhu Shaogun?

  A loved one is like a reverse scale, and this Zhu Shaoyou actually uses his own loved ones to make things difficult for me. I will definitely kill him. The killing intent on Chen Xuan's body grew thicker, and his face also turned darker.

  Zhu Shaogun

  Chen Xuan didn't call out "Big Brother" this time.

  "I respect you as a fellow disciple of Mount Lian, but if you were an outer sect disciple, I would have crippled you by now. If one word of disrespect towards my parents comes out of your mouth, I'll knock all your teeth out." Chen Xuan said with hatred.

  "How dare you show your true nature, always wanting to deal with fellow disciples. Do you think I, Zhu Shaogroup, am afraid of you? With your little strength, I don't even put you in my eyes. Don't think that just because you fought Ling Feng to a draw, you can be arrogant. Ling Feng only has a good grandfather who raised his strength to the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm, and in my eyes, he's just a white radish." Zhu Shaogroup sneered.

  Chen Xuan thought that today's matter seemed to be deliberately targeting himself. If he left like this, his reputation would be ruined and everyone would think he was afraid of Zhu Shaogang.

  If he fights with him, it will be an internal conflict, and it's good to add another crime to himself. This Zhu Shaoguo seems to have a clear grasp of all his recent affairs.

  Today, being here is just waiting to humiliate myself. He really thinks I'm a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will, thinking that all new disciples are weak and will be intimidated by him to establish his prestige. His idea is pretty good, let's see if I'll give him the face or not.
