Chapter 305 (2/2)

After Luo Bing had left, both Ling Yun-zi and Tu Fang had felt this matter to be fishy .

They had no enmity with the thirty-sixth monastery . Even though Luo Bing had said she had come because of losing quotas for the Jiuli secret realm, if that was true, she wouldn’t have come so brazenly and with so many disciples .

In the past, the 108th monastery had never had more than a handful of core disciples . As for Favored, they only appeared once every few decades .

And yet, Luo Bing had immediately brought four Favored as well as a Chosen . Even if she had been planning on a perfect victory, there should have been no need for her to bring so many troops .

Thinking of everything that had happened, Tu Fang had made a secret trip to the supermonastery .

And as they had expected, with something this big happening, it was impossible to conceal the news .

That was because the supermonastery’s top fifty monasteries all had an intense compet.i.tion between them . Each of them had spies in other people’s monasteries .

There was no way around it . For those larger monasteries, they all had disciples numbering in the hundreds of thousands or even millions . It was a crazy man’s dream to not have any spies present .

Although Luo Bing had brought her people back stealthily, the next day, news had come out that the thirty-sixth monastery’s Chosen and two of their Favored had almost been crippled .

That immediately caused a clamor amongst the other monasteries . They had investigated curiously, and as expected, there was no way the thirty-sixth monastery could keep this matter concealed .

All the details of that compet.i.tion were known to anyone who cared to find out now . Some people had even managed to obtain photographic jades of that day .

As a result, one person spread it to ten people, ten spread it to a hundred, and now, there was basically no one who didn’t know about the thirty-sixth monastery’s tragic defeat . When the thirty-sixth monastery had seen those photographic jades, they had almost gone crazy with rage .

The angle of those photographic jades were from the side of their own disciples . In other words, it was their own disciples who had transmitted those photographic jades out .

Although Luo Bing had tried to suppress this news at the beginning and had told all her disciples to hand over their photographic jades, there were many smart people . At that time, some of her disciples had actually been using two photographic jades to record, and had only given her one of them .

And as the saying went, opportunities are left to those who prepare . Those disciples had had an opportunity to sell those photographic jades .

Those disciples had been laughing heartily at that time . The thing that made them laugh the hardest was that no matter how the thirty-sixth monastery tried to investigate this, they would never be able to figure out it was them .

As a result, the 108th monastery had instantly become a topic of hot discussion . Many monasteries even sent Elders over to pay a visit .

Those Elders all said they were just paying a visit, but in truth, they were supposed to investigate the 108th monastery to determine what was true or false .

The previous Ling Yun-zi would have definitely enthusiastically welcomed them . After all, the more monasteries that had a better relations.h.i.+p with them, the easier they would be able to grow .

But the current Ling Yun-zi had already recovered his sword cultivator’s pride . He directly refused to allow any of those Elders into the monastery .

Those Elders cursed him furiously, saying that the 108th monastery didn’t know what was good for them and that they were clearly being petty .

However, Ling Yun-zi simply ignored them all .

Nowadays, Ling Yun-zi no longer cared about anything like ranking . All he cared about was his disciples’ growth . All he hoped for was that the monasteries’ scheming wouldn’t stupidly hold back his disciples’ cultivation .

Tu Fang had put on a fake ident.i.ty in the supermonastery and finally obtained a piece of important information from a knowledgeable member of the supermonastery .

Once Luo Bing had returned to her monastery, in less than two hours, she and her brother had gone straight to the first monastery .

As soon as he had heard that, Tu Fang had had a bad feeling . He had immediately gone to Ling Yun-zi to report it .

“Then what you mean is that the one pulling the strings behind the curtains is the first monastery?” Cang Ming frowned .

“There’s a ninety percent chance, yes . ” Ling Yun-zi nodded .

The 108th monastery had never had any relations.h.i.+ps with the other monasteries, especially not any of those in the top fifty rankings .

Only this time had they ended up with a slight conflict with the first monastery because of the application for Long Chen’s Chosen disciple position .

But that couldn’t even count as conflict . They had made one application, failed, then made a second application with proof .

After failing again, they had already realized it was useless . They hadn’t further antagonized them . Furthermore, the next day, the first monastery had then announced that they had given birth to a fourth Chosen as well as made the 108th monastery a laughstock, saying they had wanted to cheat over a Chosen disciple position .

From start to finish, Tu Fang had been incredibly irritated . He had never said a single thing bad about the first monastery, and yet he had to suffer because of them . That was enough for him to explode with rage .

“f.u.c.k, they really are excessive! Do they think we’re that easy to bully?!” Cang Ming was completely infuriated when he heard all this .

“Uncle-master, you also know Long Chen’s character . Once he enters the secret realm, who knows what he will do . And so…” said Ling Yun-zi .

“Don’t worry, when that time comes, if anyone dares bully our disciples, I’ll smash them to death with my awl! Looks like your uncle-master’s weary bones are about to see some action!” snorted Cang Ming .
