Chapter 22 - Golden Clouds

Hearing Fang Chen's words, the other disciples all revealed expressions of shock.

A new disciple actually dares to speak to Senior Brother Li Guanglong like this, this is courting death.

With Senior Brother Li Guanglong's strength, being able to rank in the top fifty of the inner sect was extremely powerful.

It had to be known that within the inner court, there were a lot of disciples who could enter the top 50 ranks. It was already something to be proud of.

”Brat, this time, there is no one helping you. Tell me, how do you want to die?” Li Guanglong said with an ice-cold expression.

Fang Chen shook his head, he did not bother with Li Guanglong and rushed straight towards the chore house.

After receiving all the items from the chore house, Fang Chen returned to his living quarters.

Within the inner sect, each disciple had their own residence. According to their strength, each disciple had their own residence.

In the residences of the top 50 ranked disciples in the inner court, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely dense. Disciples outside of the top 50 did not receive such treatment.

After Fang Chen returned to his own residence, he took out the manual and started reading.

This manual described some of the inner sect matters in great detail.

Moreover, there was even an inner court disciple's detailed ranking.

Fang Chen was ranked 50th.

After that, Fang Chen saw Bing Ling, who was ranked very high in the top ten.

It was said that the strongest person in the inner sect had reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement Realm, and could even retreat safely if faced with a practitioner at the seventh level of Qi Refinement Realm.

Fang Chen already knew about the Cultivation Pagoda, it was unique to the inner sect. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he would be able to cultivate in the Cultivation Tower.

There was a mystical mountain in the inner sect that was connected to the sword technique Heaven Stairway.

There were a total of nine levels to the Heaven Stairway. On the Heaven Stairway, one could not use energy, only sword techniques.

Only disciples with high level of sword arts would be able to climb the Heavenly Stairway and reach the top.

Of course, in all these years, other than Xie Tiannan back then, no one else had ever been able to climb the stairs to the top.

Even the current number one person in the inner sect, Du Zhong, could only enter the eighth level.

No one knew what sort of benefits one would receive after reaching the ninth floor, but everyone knew that as long as they could reach the ninth floor, they would surely have great fortune.

Just as Fang Chen was looking through the manual, an elder suddenly found Fang Chen.

”Elder.”

Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.

”Fang Chen, you are a disciple who just entered the inner sect. Every disciple who enters the inner sect has to complete a mission.” The elder said.

Fang Chen nodded and asked: ”May I know what kind of mission it is?”

Obviously, Fang Chen understood the rules of the inner sect and asked directly.

”The mission this time is to explore a tomb. There's a total of five people. Tomorrow morning, we will gather at the inner gate square.” With that, the Elder left.

Early in the morning on the second day, Fang Chen appeared on the plaza.

What surprised Fang Chen was that the other four people on the plaza had already reached this level a long time ago, and of these four people, Fang Chen actually recognized two of them.

One was Li Guanglong, the other one was Ye Lin. The other two Fang Chen did not recognize.

”Hmm? It's actually him? ” When Li Guanglong saw Fang Chen, his face also revealed a shred of astonishment, but right after, his eyes revealed intense fury.

”Hmph, I really didn't expect that I would have to do this mission with this piece of trash.” Ye Lin said with an ice-cold expression.

Seeing Fang Chen's arrival, the elder laughed and said: ”Alright, everyone is here, this time the five of you have to go and explore the tomb that appeared in the mountain range hundreds of kilometers away from Liang Yun City, but don't let your guard down. It's said that the other sects will also send their disciples there.”

Hearing the elder's words, Fang Chen was slightly stunned.

The tomb in the mountain range a hundred li outside of Liang Yuncheng. Wasn't this the exact same as the address on the rags he had obtained?

”Could it be that the inner court already knew of this news?” Fang Chen remained calm and thought in his heart.

”Elder, why did you want us to do a mission with this trash?” Ye Lin said with a sharp voice.

”That's right, Elder, we don't want to bring a burden.” Li Guanglong said.

Fang Chen did not speak, but the elder did. He is a newbie who just entered the inner sect. You guys need to take care of each other. Alright, we can set off now.

The elder left after giving his instructions.

Leaving Fang Chen and the other three behind, they began their next move.

Just that, Fang Chen had long since been excluded by the other four people, he was alone at the back of the group.

Of course, Fang Chen didn't want to be associated with them.

In front of the group, Ye Lin was conversing with Li Guanglong in a low voice.

”Senior brother Li, this trash, Fang Chen, has offended you over and over again. After entering the tomb, kill him.” Ye Lin said.

”Yes, after entering the tomb, even if I kill him, no one will know.” Li Guanglong laughed and said.

Liang Yun City was very far from Windy City, and only after two whole days did Fang Chen and the others arrive at Liang Yun City.

After arriving at Liang Yun City, Fang Chen and the other three immediately rushed towards the mountain range a hundred miles away.

Inside the Liang Yun Mountain range, Fang Chen and the rest advanced carefully. Fang Chen felt that the five of them were following a slightly different route from the one on the map.
