Chapter 282 The Sealed Main Peak (2/2)

The many disciples shot puzzled gazes over.

Fang Zheng explained, “The failure of the Saint Genesis Peak chief disciples over the years has also come to the attention of sect master Qing Yang and the rest. Hence, during another discussion, peak master Ling Jun suggested his Sword Cometh Peak send elder Lu Hong and the disciples under him to our Saint Genesis Peak. There are many talented disciples under elder Lu Hong, his first disciple Yuan Hong an outstanding individual even amongst the rest. Even in Sword Cometh Peak that is full of capable individuals, he is strong enough to be ranked third.”

“Although Yuan Hong is not part of the ten great Chosens, he is one of the individuals that has the potential to replace them.”

“So if Yuan Hong is able to become the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak after the test in a year, he would be given the chance to enter the main peak to attempt retrieving the peak master seal.”

“Once he succeeds, our Saint Genesis Peak will be able to select a peak master again.”

The numerous disciples looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitching as an even greater wave of defeat washed over their hearts. So Saint Genesis Peak had been unable to resolve the matter themselves, and ended up having another peak send their disciples over to take their chief disciple position...

This seemed to be a little humiliating.

However, they also understood that it was because the Saint Genesis Peak disciples were no good, and failed to fulfil the important task that had been placed on their shoulders.

When the disciples thought about it, it did seem that elder Lu Hong was quite capable, and their lives may perhaps be better if they could join his group...

While such thoughts swirled in the minds of numerous disciples, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao exchanged a look and frowned slightly. Wasn’t Lu Hong Lu Feng and Lu Xuanyin’s elder?

Zhou Yuan’s gaze flickered in thought. If the disciples under Lu Hong were allowed to retrieve the peak master seal, wouldn’t Lu Hong make use of this contribution to become the peak master of Saint Genesis Peak?

Although he had yet to meet this Lu Hong character, Zhou Yuan felt that it would not bode well for him if Lu Hong became the Saint Genesis Peak master.

Most importantly, Zhou Yuan did not know whether the former would discover the existence of the second Saint Rune after becoming peak master.

Before confirming whether there was any hidden danger in the Cangxuan Sect, Zhou Yuan felt that it was best that no one found out about the second Saint Rune. In the worst case, not only would he fail to obtain the second Saint Rune, others may even realise that he already had one. No one knew if this would be a blessing or a disaster for him if that happened.

“How troublesome.”

Zhou Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart.

However, there was nothing much he could do for the time being, and could only take things one step at a time. After all, there was still about a year before chief disciple selection came.

Fang Zheng clapped his hands at this moment and said, “Since all of you have paid homage to the main peak, we’ll continue on our way. I’ll bring you guys to meet the three elders where you will choose which elder to follow, and formally become disciples of our Saint Genesis Peak.”

After speaking, he waved his sleeve as a Genesis Qi cloud rose under everyone’s feet, lifting the group into the air again.

As the Genesis Qi cloud rose into the sky, the sweeping hunched elder finally paused and slowly raised his aged face to look at the departing disciples, as a tiny sliver of bewilderment flitted across his murky eyes.

“Why do I sense a faint hint of something familiar…”

He mumbled to himself in a raspy voice.
