Seeing Gao Xiang's blank and confused look, the eldest master bluntly stated, "You are naturally slow-witted and careless, and you have neglected your future junior brothers for too long."
The eldest uncle is also the eldest brother.
Back when we were at Holy Capital Academy, of the four peaks, theirs was the poorest, weakest, and had the fewest people.
But their peak is the most harmonious.
There are countless private struggles among the disciples of the other three peaks, many of which have caused chaos and become common knowledge, with many more maintaining a facade of harmony while harboring deep-seated animosity.
"The discord among disciples in those sects is all because the senior brother failed to handle the relationships between his junior brothers properly and did not fulfill his responsibilities as the senior brother."
A qualified senior disciple may not be the most powerful, but he must be able to lead the sect and command the respect of his junior disciples. Therefore, a senior disciple cannot only care about himself, but must also look after everyone below him. Especially regarding achievements, if he succeeds, he should not be overly arrogant; if he fails, he should not be overly resentful or humble.
"Master Uncle, the four of us are the best of friends. We have supported and encouraged each other all the way through. We are extremely close."
"That's just your perspective."
The eldest master looked at his nephew, who wasn't quite right in the head, and said, "You still haven't realized that your three friends in the same profession have become inferior because of the gap between you."
Did you notice their emotions?
How long has it been since you last spoke or interacted with them?
These words stunned Gao Xiang...
The other three have already arrived at the black market.
They came specifically to buy a good calligraphy brush for drawing talismans.
Wanbaoge had a better option than the black market. The reason I ran outside the school was simply to relax.
Everyone tacitly kept quiet about Gao Xiang, and instead browsed the various items on the stalls along the way.
The black market outside the school mainly sold weapons and elixirs, as well as various cultivation techniques and movement manuals. They didn't find any calligraphy brushes, a niche magical artifact, that appealed to them after browsing around.
It was getting late.
Since we're preparing to go back
The black market wasn't far from the school, yet they still encountered trouble on that short journey.
"stop!"
Several masked cultivators surrounded the three of them. Although their faces were not visible, their clothing clearly identified them as disciples of the academy. "What are you looking at? Hand over all your valuables."
"Now that the academy has been purged, you black sheep have gone so far as to rob people outside, haven't you?"
Gao Xiang and his group were already in a bad mood when a group of robbers arrived. They were also in a bad mood, shouting, "Come on!"
Who's afraid of who?!
Three to seven.
Fueled by anger, they still lost.
"Damn, I thought you guys had undergone a complete transformation."
The leader of the robbers suddenly spoke, and the familiar voice startled the three of them.
This is……
"Zhang Zhi!"
Gou You recognized his voice immediately.
Zhang Zhi, who was in the lead, was also stunned.
They had previously ambushed Gao Xiang and Gou You's group within the academy, intending to humiliate them. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiang, wielding his authority and relying on his connection to Xianlong Peak, ended up humiliating them instead.
The group was furious.
Four people who were clearly inferior to them actually rode on their heads, showing off their power and arrogance in front of them because they had a good teacher.
This time, as they were leaving school, they happened to run into Gou You and his two companions. Seeing them leave the school and enter the black market, they decided to rob them.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted.
Who told Gao Xiang to be so smug, waving the talisman in front of them?
They originally only intended to rob Gou You and his two companions, but they didn't expect that the three of them would recognize them.
"Zhang Zhi, how dare you!"
"Don't you know who we are?"
"Dean Yan has now ordered a thorough investigation into the perpetrators both inside and outside the academy. With your current actions, you can expect to be thoroughly investigated when you return."
The other two talisman disciples were cursing loudly from the side.
Gou You and Zhang Zhi, who was in charge, both changed their expressions.
Fool.
Gou You felt a sense of helplessness, as if he was being harmed by them and his disappointment at their lack of progress.
Zhang Zhi, who was in charge, changed his original idea of just robbing someone to a vicious plan to kill them to cover it up.
"Zhang Zhi, don't overthink it. We'll give you everything of value we have."
Gou You spoke first.
And very cooperatively, he took out his own talisman and brought out the weapons and spirit stones inside.
Not only him, but he also made two other people do the same.
"As the saying goes, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. Rest assured, we swear in the name of the God of War that we will never betray you."
"Ha, do you think I'm a fool?"
Zhang Zhi sneered, "The three of you all follow Fu Xiu. I originally intended to spare your lives today, but this situation isn't my fault."
After saying that, he gave a wink to his companion and dragged the three of them from the narrow path to a deserted cliff edge further away from the black market.
There was no one around.
Beneath the steep mountains lie various sharp boulders.
After killing these three people, they were thrown off a cliff, and no one would ever know who did it.
With a cold blade pressed against his neck, Gou Youhao deeply regretted leaving the academy out of spite.
Unfortunately, there's no going back.
Zhang Zhi had his men confiscate all their valuables, leaving only a cold smile behind him. "Oh, right, where's one of you who didn't come with you?"
Gao Xiang was the person he hated most.
"He will avenge us."
"In the future, I will send him down to keep you company."
The cold, long blade was about to slice across his neck, and Gou You was already feeling an even greater downward force. Just then, he suddenly saw a small black dot approaching from afar.
Rumble—
A loud roar
The force of the explosion sent sand and gravel flying from the ground.
Caught off guard, Zhang Zhi and the others covered themselves against the dust kicked up, preparing for a sudden attack. On the other side, Gou You seized the opportunity to shove Zhang Zhi hard and ran in the opposite direction of the cliff.
The other two also acted according to the situation.
They all broke free from Zhang Zhi's restraints.
"Gao Xiang!"
"Old Xiang!"
"Damn, you're a true brother."
The three of them were even more excited than if they had met their dream girl when they saw the chubby little boy falling from the sky.
"Run!"
Gao Xiang didn't have time to say much to them, he just told them to leave quickly. The explosive talisman was all bark and no bite; by the time Zhang Zhi and the others reacted, it would be too late to deal with it.
Zhang Zhi and his group reacted incredibly quickly, catching up with them halfway down the mountain.
"Oh, everyone's here."
He drew his longsword and charged directly at Gao Xiang, who was covering his rear.
Zhang Zhi is now in the late stage of Martial Spirit, and is already showing signs of reaching his peak, while Gao Xiang is only in the mid-stage of Martial Spirit. He was sent flying several meters away after only taking one hit.
My feet rubbed against the ground, and the soles of my shoes almost wore through before I finally stopped.
The enemy's attack has resumed...
