Chapter 162 Departure
It is common knowledge that Bai Ke and Lin Xiu are now at odds. With Bai Ke's high-profile comeback, more and more people are starting to pay attention to the former taciturn chief disciple.
To be honest, during the many years that Bai Ke spent cultivating in seclusion atop Tiandu Peak, Lin Xiu was more like the leader among the young disciples of Tian Ce Palace.
Bai Ke's title as the chief disciple is really just a title. Now that he has broken through, he is busy making a comeback to reclaim his authority, which has inadvertently angered many people.
Time is the cruelest thing in the world. After more than a decade of management, some disciples who were not well-informed even forgot that there was such a chief disciple.
Of course, there are things even crueler than time, such as the naked law of the jungle in the world of mountains and seas, where the strong are respected.
Bai Ke arrived and decisively defeated Lin Xiu in front of all the elders, regaining the top spot. This silenced all the elders who wanted to cause him trouble.
After all, he defeated Lin Xiu fair and square. If he wanted to get revenge, he only needed to rely on his own three-foot-long sword.
Major sects are blatantly ruthless, using methods like raising Gu poison to cultivate the strongest and most ferocious one in order to ensure the sect's continued prosperity and longevity.
However, Bai Ke's actions have disrupted many people's plans. Although they cannot openly attack him, they can still sabotage him behind the scenes.
This is an unwritten rule, also known as a hidden rule, in the Holy Son Election. This aspect is a competition of the candidates' connections and the power behind them.
It's good to have a big tree to lean on; this is a principle that everyone understands. As the future heir of the sect, how can he not have anyone supporting him? Otherwise, he'll be a lone commander.
The competition... actually began the moment Bai Ke and Lin Xiu accepted the bamboo sticks.
The team list on the bamboo slips is randomly selected by the sect's elder, and the team leaders, Bai Ke and Lin Xiu, must ensure that no one is killed in the mission.
Of course, due to the presence of the accompanying elders, there are generally no deaths or injuries, but a significant amount of impression points will be deducted from the candidates.
In this way, Bai Ke would have to ensure that he found the opportunity while also taking care of these future buds of the sect.
Everything else is fine. Bai Ke has no grudge against them, so naturally he wouldn't deliberately frame anyone.
But as for Ling Feng, that's hard to say. If you say there's no conspiracy behind this, Bai Ke would never believe it even if you beat him to death.
Ning Fengyi said that the lottery was absolutely fair, and only he knew the content of this trial, so the problem must lie in the selection and arrangement of the list.
Bai Ke didn't care how the person behind him, under the supervision of Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan, successfully managed to get Ling Feng to his side to annoy him.
He only noticed the underlying meaning of this matter: "Why wouldn't a sect elder take action against him!"
Whether it was because he had a grudge against the Bai family father and son and was trying to cause trouble, or simply because Xing Jian and his group were helping him, Bai Ke was still unsure.
However, anyone who can sabotage the Holy Son Selection must be no ordinary person. They must be an old veteran of the sect, far superior to youngsters like Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi.
Being far from home, the traveler Bai Ke never hesitates to speculate about all seemingly accidental events with the utmost malice.
The story of Ling Feng's fortunes changing every thirty years, and the saying "Never underestimate a young man's potential," had spread throughout the Tian Ce Palace. How could it be such a coincidence that the kid was in his own team?
Bai Ke landed with a cold smile, and amidst the envious gazes of the inner disciples on Tiandu Peak, he summoned the disciples on the list and informed them of the trial.
Ignoring Ling Feng's indignant gaze, Bai Ke explained some precautions for this training session, then dismissed the group and left alone.
Ling Feng glared at Bai Ke's departing figure with resentment, feeling indignant. He was, after all, the number one in the inner sect competition, how dare Bai Ke treat him with such disrespect and contempt?
"Hmph! So what if your family background is better than mine? What's there to be arrogant about? Just wait, it won't be long before I, Ling Feng, will crush you under my feet."
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said hatefully, his upper right hand unconsciously touching a jade thumb ring on his left thumb.
The next morning, Bai Ke and Lin Xiu each led a group of people to Mo Yun Kingdom and Youming Beast Forest.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Xiu's group had already set off. As soon as Bai Ke and his companions left Tian Ce Palace, a disciple behind Bai Ke said:
"Senior Brother Bai, the journey to Moyun Kingdom is long. At our current pace, it will take at least three days to reach it. Time is so tight, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, it won't be delayed," Bai Ke said as he took out the magic weapon Ning Fengyi had given him from his storage ring—Lingyun Ferry.
Bai Ke tossed Lingyun Ferry into the air and then poured his spiritual power into it. The object slowly grew from a small wooden boat into a spaceship that could probably accommodate a hundred or so people.
Faced with this sudden change, the disciples were speechless with astonishment. It's no wonder they looked so unsophisticated; the Lingyun Ferry was truly awe-inspiring.
The wooden hull of the original small boat has been transformed into the deck of a spaceship after being infused with spiritual energy. The ship is light silver in color and remains steadfast despite having weathered thousands of years of wind and rain.
It's as if you can see through this ship what an extraordinary genius the person who built it must have been.
The owner who once stood on this ship must have been so carefree and dashing. The entire ship exudes a powerful aura that inspires awe, yet also a longing in the heart.
"Senior Brother, where did you get this magic weapon? It's truly an eye-opener for us all," one of the disciples, who was the first to recover from his shock, said to Bai Ke.
“That’s right, that’s right. With this boat, we won’t have to worry about delaying our business. Senior Brother, you’re really amazing.” Another disciple quickly chimed in.
"Alright, stop standing there, everyone hurry up and get on the ship," Bai Ke said loudly to the crowd.
After everyone had boarded the ship, Bai Ke went into the central control room, took out a mid-grade spirit stone, and placed it into a slot. Immediately, he felt the ship lose its balance and began to move.
Bai Ke thought to himself: It's a good thing I got some supplies from the sect before setting off, otherwise things would have really been delayed.
As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I heard someone exclaim, "Wow, there's even a kitchen, a training room, and a dedicated washroom here! This is amazing!"
"Wow, come and see! The scenery is so beautiful! Look at the clouds, and over there..."
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop standing there. Using this spaceship, we should arrive in about half a day. You should all go back to your rooms and rest. You'll have a lot to do once we get to Moyun Kingdom."
"Yes, Senior Brother!" the disciples replied in unison.
