442: Chapter 171: Everyone is Dissatisfied _2 442: Chapter 171: Everyone is Dissatisfied _2 If it weren’t for Li Qinglei, they wouldn’t have lost so many Spirit Stones.
If not for knowing the relationship between Clearfall Sect, where Li Qinglei was from, and the Hundred Peaks Sect, they might even suspect that Li Qinglei was deliberately colluding with people from the Hundred Peaks Sect to trick them.
Lan Pili, seeing Li Qinglei getting angry, became even happier.
He pointed towards the platform and said, “Speaking of which, hasn’t your Clearfall Sect always had issues with our Hundred Peaks Sect?
Now is a perfect chance, with Peak Master Cao right here.
If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, you can go discuss it with Peak Master Cao.”
“Discuss it we shall!” Li Qinglei’s face showed a look of defiance.
He truly did not believe that Cao Zhen could know everything.
Let alone Cao Zhen, just a minor Peak Master of the Hundredth Peak within the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Not even the Peak Masters of the first-ranked Flying Immortal Peak and the second-ranked Five Elements Peak could possibly know everything.
Discussing doctrines?
He surely wasn’t afraid of the other party!
Li Qinglei was about to step onto the platform when, from a distance, a voice passed over.
“Is the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak from the Hundred Peaks Sect present here?”
The voice was loud and filled with an endless sense of arrogance.
All those around turned their heads towards the direction the voice came from.
A man who looked quite young, dressed in a scholar’s long gown, strode over.
Despite his scholarly dress, his firm face and the general air of arrogance and haughtiness about him betrayed not a hint of scholarly mildness.
Many were shocked to see the newcomer’s appearance.
“The Mad Scholar of the Scholar Path!”
“It’s Lu Yiren from the Scholar Dao Sect!”
“Wasn’t he supposed to be challenging other Sects to debates?
How did he suddenly appear in the Capital City?”
He had visited our Sect before.
According to his itinerary, he should have headed over to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Why has he shown up in the Capital City and is now looking for Cao Zhen of the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
Amidst the crowd’s confusion, they all turned their heads back towards Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen was equally puzzled, looking at the scholar.
He was aware of the Scholar Dao Sect.
Originally, when Bai Fengzi spoke of the little monk and little scholar within the Hundred Peaks Sect, the many Peak Masters would rather avoid debates with them, showing great fear.
The “little monk” referred to a disciple of the Infinite Temple.
The “little scholar” referred to one who descended the mountain from the Scholar Dao Sect to debate. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel✶fire.net
Having come to this world, he had some contact with the society of Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty outside and had heard many things about it from Lan Pili.
He also knew that although the Dynasty could be considered a place where all kinds of teachings contended, the Scholar Path was still the prevailing doctrine.
In the world of common mortals, the Scholar Path was highly revered, and in the Immortal Cultivation world, many Sects cultivated the Scholar Path.
Within their Hundred Peaks Sect, the top-ranked Scholarly Cultivation Peak followed the Scholar Path.
Among the numerous Sects cultivating the Scholar Path in the Immortal Cultivation world, aside from the Scholar Dao Sect, no other sect dared to bear the name “Scholar Sect” or “Scholar Path Sect.”
To those who cultivated the Scholar Path, the Scholar Dao Sect was like the Sword Sect was to the Sword Dao lineage.
All Sword Dao comes from the Sword Sect; all Scholar Path comes from the Scholar Dao Sect!
The Scholar Dao Sect was not one of the ten major Immortal Sects, but it was no less prestigious than any of them.
The reason they were not counted among the ten major Immortal Sects was simply because the Sect Leader of the Scholar Dao Sect declared that they wished to spread the Scholar Path in the secular world and would not participate in the ranking of the ten major Immortal Sects.
Among the Immortals holding office within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the majority came from the Scholar Path.
Upon noticing everyone’s gaze, Lu Yiren’s eyes immediately landed on the high platform and he asked, “Are you Cao Zhen, the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak?”
Cao Zhen, somewhat confused, nodded and inquired, “Indeed I am the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, but I wonder why you are seeking me?”
Naturally, for a debate,” Lu Yiren stepped onto the platform and faced Cao Zhen, saying, “I’ve previously visited the Hundred Peaks Sect and debated with your people.
The Scholar Path of your Hundred Peaks Sect is truly lacking, far from authentic.
Not a single one of you is my match; even when your Peak Masters took action, they all lost to me.
However, this is normal.
Ever since I descended the mountain to debate, I have yet to encounter a worthy opponent.”
Around them, the crowd listened to Lu Yiren’s words, not showing any surprise or a hint of ridicule.
Many among them had experienced Lu Yiren’s debates at their Immortal Sects, resulting in their loss.
Moreover, after defeating them, Lu Yiren would challenge the elders and others from the sects to debates, and the result was the same; no one could match Lu Yiren in the Scholar Path.
Losing to Lu Yiren was not shameful nor unexpected.
What surprised them was why Lu Yiren would come to the Capital City to find Cao Zhen.
As Lu Yiren spoke, his eyes swept over a few of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples with a look of displeasure and said, “Losing to me is one thing; I was planning to challenge another Immortal Sect, but after losing the debate, your people couldn’t accept the defeat.
They claimed that the strongest and most proficient in the Scholar Path within the Hundred Peaks Sect were not present; otherwise, I would have surely lost.
This is the first time I’ve encountered such talk since I’ve started debating others after descending the mountain.
So, I inquired as to who that person was.
The answer I got was you, Peak Master Cao of Four Treasures Peak; hence, I’ve come here.”
Cao Zhen was immediately speechless.
I’ve left the Hundred Peaks Sect and you still think to blame me; I really should thank you all.
The problem is, why didn’t you think of me during the good times?
