Primordial Cultivator

Yang Wei smiled bitterly when he saw Elder Jing quickly rushed outside, leaving him completely alone.

'That damn pagoda, out of any time you can possibly appear, you appear when I was getting so close.' Yang Wei cursed inwardly and thought this must be heaven playing a joke on him.

After all, he did loudly exclaim that he will never yield to heaven or fate which might have incurred the heaven wrath upon him.

Otherwise, Yang Wei can not think of any other possible coincidence for the pagoda to suddenly appear when they have confirmed it'll be an hour.

'It has barely even been 10 minutes since they confirmed the fact so how could it be so early.' Yang Wei sighed inwardly before tidying up his clothes and exiting the tent.

It'll create a massive commotion if words were to get out that he was busy cozying up with Elder Jing when there are more important tasks ahead.

Thus, Yang Wei reluctantly walked out and slowly sat down with the rest of the disciples, making it seemed like he had never left.

The disciples were still in deep concentration where even the trembling ground could not disturb them except for one person.

It comes to no surprise that it was Lian Xinyue who managed to sneak a glimpse where Elder Jing and Yang Wei simultaneously disappeared from the scene.

In addition, when she saw Elder Jing coming back, she could see some of Elder Jing's lipstick were smear and glancing at Yang Wei's lip that had some color from Elder Jing's lipstick.

Lian Xinyue finally managed to deduce that the relationship between them was no different than a lover.

'No wonder why Yang Wei never looked at me. He has Elder Jing by his side already.' Lian Xinyue exclaimed inwardly and found out that it wasn't because she wasn't a beauty.

It was simply because Yang Wei only had eyes for Elder Jing and had no attention for her.

Meanwhile, the ground continued to tremble more harshly and the disciples could no longer remain concentrated as they all stood up to wonder what the commotion was.

At the same time, the sect elder from the Tyrant Lion Sect and Phoenix Sky Sect both stepped forward in the center.

Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru glared at each other as they wanted to be in the spotlight.

"Elder Pan Cheng, I believe it's only rightful for our sect that is the number one to do the announcement." Elder Fang Yunru said slightly while exuding a bit of his aura.

"Hmph, given the seniority between us, I believe I deserve to do the announcement instead," Elder Pan Cheng scoffed as he refused to give up the spotlight to his arch-enemy.

Both of them gritted their teeth as they were unwilling to back down, causing the other sect elders to twitch their mouths slightly.

After all, they were reprimanded by these two, Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru in the center for fighting each other when the pagoda was appearing yet here they are, fighting openly in front of them.

"Hmph, aren't they similar to us when they openly clash like this?" A sect elder scoffed as he touched a bruise flame mark in his face, which showed that he had received some thrashing by Elder Fang Yunru.

"You're right, at this rate, we might as well continue fighting and ignore the pagoda." Another sect elder added, this time with a dark punched mark on his face.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing heard the other sect elder started getting impatient as the fighting between Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru continued to intensify with each sentence being more poisonous.

'Sigh, looks like I have to trouble myself again.' Elder Jing sighed inwardly as she was the only person eligible to intervene and stop their farce.

Elder Jing ordered the rest of the disciples to stay put as she started walking toward the center, causing Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru to stop arguing.

"Both of you wouldn't mind letting me do the announcement right?" Elder Jing asked softly as she walked in between the two of them.

Elder Pan Cheng twitched his mouth slightly before glancing at the crowd and noticed the other sect elders have their expression that was filled with dissatisfaction.

He decided to scoff loudly and said, "Hmph, it's not like I really cared about doing the announcement as long as it's not Elder Fang Yunru doing it."

Afterward, he left the center and went toward his sect while smirking at Elder Fang Yunru who was left in a dilemma.

If Elder Fang Yunru still dared to fight for doing the announcement then he would be making a fool out of himself when Elder Jing already gave them a leeway to get out.

Elder Fang Yunru coughed lightly as he smiled at Elder Jing.

"Since Elder Jing wanted to do the announcement then as a gentleman, it is obviously our duty to give it up. After all, it's better to have someone dignified and beautiful like Elder Jing to give the announcement rather than a barbaric and unappealing appearance."

Elder Fang Yunru glanced at Elder Pan Cheng when he said those words as he opened his bamboo folding fan and started fanning himself lightly as he left the stage.

Elder Pan Cheng clenched his fist in anger but decided to ignore him. After all, his wording was terrible when compared to Elder Fang Yunru who studied poetry and read many books to increase his scholarly skills whereas he only focuses on his punching technique.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing decided to start speaking aloud as she feared that if she stalled any longer than those two would definitely have an all-out fight.

"Given the trembling and the cracking in the grounds, I'm sure everyone here is familiar with this scenario as the pagoda would slowly rise up." Elder Jing exclaimed loudly and continued.

"Thus, we will group up together with a maximum limit of 3 sects in a group since everyone knows the Pagoda is full of hidden danger, and once separated, your life would most likely vanish from existence."
