The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 786 - 782 I’m Here to Participate in the Disciple Selection

Tianshan Sect’s third Elder, Yu Qianshi, also strongly agreed with Lu Douwen’s statement and said with gritted teeth, "Second brother, now we can only resort to the Life-Burning Technique. You take the left, I’ll take the right, and we’ll encircle him from both sides, forcing that little animal Ye Chenfeng to flee toward Myriad Poison Mountain."

"Phew!" Lu Douwen exhaled heavily and nodded very solemnly, "Today we absolutely cannot let Ye Chenfeng escape. This little beast has forced us to resort to the Life-Burning Technique. If we let him continue to grow, who knows if one day he’ll actually have the strength to exterminate our Tianshan Sect."

Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi exchanged a look, their faces filled with anger and hatred. They muttered some strange incantations, and the True Energy Force around their bodies trembled irregularly. Once they completed the incantations, the intensity of the True Energy Force around these two old men did not change, but the speed at which they moved almost doubled. They advanced left and right, closing in on Ye Chenfeng.

This Life-Burning Technique was a secret technique from Tianshan Sect, normally used only at critical moments of life or death for escape since the technique only enhanced speed and not strength. Nevertheless, for every minute the Life-Burning Technique was used, the practitioner lost one year of their lifespan, so who would normally use such a suicidal secret technique?

Furthermore, both Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi were of advanced age. For them, life was extremely precious. Perhaps another year of life meant a chance for them to break through to a higher level. Once they achieved a higher level, their lifespan could potentially increase.

Yet now, for the sake of pursuing a mere youth, these two old men actually resorted to using the Life-Burning Technique. No wonder they harbored such deep-seated resentment toward Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng, with Xia Zining tucked at his waist, suddenly sensed something was wrong behind him, and quickly glanced back. His heart leaped with alarm as he saw Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi flanking him from both sides. The speed of these two old men was astonishingly fast, leaving Ye Chenfeng no time to flee into the forest next to Myriad Poison Mountain. If he insisted on running towards the woods, he and Xia Zining would likely be caught by the two elders pursuing them before they even reached the forest.

There was no choice but to rush up the mountain ahead. Ye Chenfeng was a very decisive person. Giving up on the forest on the side, which now represented certain death, he sprinted toward the mountain ahead, which might offer a slim chance of survival. Right now, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t care less which sect owned the mountain. He maximized the King Level Initial Stage Soul Force within his body and continuously executed the Storm Step Technique, his figure swiftly darting up Myriad Poison Mountain.

The slightly lagging Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi stopped using the Life-Burning Technique as soon as they saw Ye Chenfeng forced onto Myriad Poison Mountain. They certainly did not want to gamble with their lifespans. Besides, now that Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining were forced onto Myriad Poison Mountain, in their view, the duo had run into a dead end.

Pushing his speed to the limit, profoundly draining the Soul Force within him, Ye Chenfeng bit down hard on his teeth, beads of sweat continuously sliding from his pale cheeks. This sight caused a pained twinge in Xia Zining’s heart, who was clutching at his waist. She bit her red lips tightly, filled with worry.

Ye Chenfeng, persistently utilizing the Storm Step Technique, glanced back again and noticed that the two elders had resumed their normal pace, which offered him a little relief. While continuing to perform the Storm Step Technique, he asked, "Xia Zining, what place is this? Do you know which sect is on this mountain?"

Xia Zining hastily replied, "This is Myriad Poison Mountain, and the sect here is called Myriad Poison Sect, which is also considered a third-grade force. If I remember correctly, Myriad Poison Sect should have no dealings with Tianshan Sect."

Myriad Poison Mountain? Myriad Poison Sect?

Ye Chenfeng felt there was something familiar about the name, but there was no time to think further now. As long as Myriad Poison Sect had no relation with Tianshan Sect, Ye Chenfeng knew he and Xia Zining still had a glimmer of hope. If Myriad Poison Sect had ties with Tianshan Sect, then their headlong dash onto Myriad Poison Sect’s territory would be like walking into a trap.

As the peak of Myriad Poison Mountain drew nearer, the first thing that came into view was a vast Training Ground bustling with people. Ye Chenfeng’s sharp eyes also caught a banner hanging above the Training Ground, bearing the words "Myriad Poison Sect Disciple Selection" in seven large characters.

Ye Chenfeng, with Xia Zining clutched awkwardly at his waist, arrived in a sorry state at the Myriad Poison Sect’s Training Ground. The sudden appearance of Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining captured the attention of everyone present, and Sect Leader Kang Baiyin, seated in the prime position of the audience stand, couldn’t help but frown and barked, "Who are you? Brazenly intruding into the Myriad Poison Sect will not end well for you."

Ye Chenfeng set Xia Zining down, his breath somewhat erratic as he spoke, "I’m here to participate in the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection. I just ran into some trouble on the way, which is why I was delayed for a bit."

"Ye Chenfeng, you little brute, let’s see where you can run to now?" No sooner had Ye Chenfeng finished speaking when Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi also appeared at the Myriad Poison Sect’s Training Ground.

Ye Chenfeng, pulling Xia Zining, kept retreating. After maintaining a safe distance from Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi, he pointed at the two men, unyielding and fearless, and shouted, "You two reckless old men, what do you think this place is? This is the Myriad Poison Sect, and causing trouble here is clearly a show of disrespect to the Myriad Poison Sect, isn’t it? What’s more, today is the day of the Sect’s disciple selection. I came here for the selection today; what are you two old guys here for?"

Ye Chenfeng knew that now he could only fight by borrowing power. Only by leveraging the influence of the Myriad Poison Sect could he and Xia Zining be temporarily safe. As for what happened next, he could only take it one step at a time.

After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s stern shout, both Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi also realized they were on others’ turf and couldn’t act too outrageously. They immediately looked to Sect Leader Kang Baiyin, who was seated in the primary position. Lu Douwen gave a respectful bow and said, "Sect Leader Kang, I am the Second Elder of the Tianshan Sect, Lu Douwen. This youngster has run amok in our Tianshan Sect, please forgive our rudeness."

"Sect Leader Kang, I am the Third Elder of the Tianshan Sect, Yu Qianshi. Our actions were indeed impulsive, but today we must take this youngster back with us." Following suit, Yu Qianshi also bowed and spoke.

Hmm?

Kang Baiyin was momentarily taken aback; he had indeed met Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi a few times before, but their current bedraggled state made it difficult for Kang Baiyin to recognize them right away. He sneered twice and said, "Ah, so it’s the Second and Third Elders of the Tianshan Sect!"

Hearing Kang Baiyin’s tone, Ye Chenfeng knew that Kang Baiyin was not fond of the Tianshan Sect. Seizing the opportunity, he addressed Kang Baiyin, "You must be the Sect Leader of the Myriad Poison Sect, right? Indeed, I have come today to participate in your Sect’s disciple selection. I was pursued by these two old men halfway here, causing me to be delayed for today’s selection event. I just don’t know if the Myriad Poison Sect still dares to let me participate in the selection now, or if it will stand by and watch as I am captured by these two old men?"

Ye Chenfeng’s voice was deliberately raised so high that everyone present could hear, especially those who had come for the disciple selection. Their gaze fixed on Kang Baiyin.

I just don’t know if the Myriad Poison Sect still dares to let me participate in the selection now?

The meaning hidden in Ye Chenfeng’s words was evident. If Kang Baiyin didn’t allow Ye Chenfeng to participate and simply watched as he was taken away, despite his claim of coming for the selection, how would it reflect on the Myriad Poison Sect? If they couldn’t even protect someone who came for the selection, wouldn’t it dishearten those who desired to join the Myriad Poison Sect? And being a Sect Leader himself, Kang Baiyin’s personal prestige within the Myriad Poison Sect would certainly be impacted as well.
