Chapter 343: When there are no heroes, the young men become famous
The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, but he has no good intentions.
Go to apologize?
Helian Weizong sneered in his heart. Even if Chu Ning really said such words, it would not be something that you, Xie Jingxing, would take to heart.
"Chu Ning, why don't you apologize to Helian Jianzhu for your reckless words?"
Xie Jingxing scolded Chu Ning, and Chu Ning curled his lips in his heart. He finally understood that his sect leader did not want to be a bad guy.
At least I have to be the bad guy in the open.
Forget it. I have to change my style of doing things anyway, so I might as well be a little more arrogant.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning showed an unconvinced look on his face, and snorted: "Master, you asked me to apologize, but I don't accept it. I think I am right."
After saying this, Chu Ning looked towards Jiang Zuo with disdain in his eyes: "In the absence of heroes, young people become famous, and those who are in high positions are the kind of people who sell their heads."
Boom! Chu Ning's words directly ignited Jiang Zuo's anger. Although Jiang Zuo did not understand the meaning of "inserting a bid and selling the first", he understood the first half of the sentence, so the second half of the sentence would naturally not be a good thing.
Too arrogant!
This Chu Ning is really too arrogant!
Jiang Zuo's aura was like a sharp sword, slashing towards Chu Ning.
Chu Ning was not afraid at all. Seeing that the sword energy was about to fall, Helian Weizong snorted lightly, and Jiang Zuo's sword energy dissipated into nothingness.
Jiang Zuo looked at his master. He didn't understand why his master stopped him from taking action?
This Chu Ning is so rampant, shouldn't he be taught a lesson? Helian Weizong did not explain the doubts to his disciple, but squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Ning, saying lightly: "It's a good thing for young people to be confident, but according to the rules of the Yuanlong Ranking, if you want to challenge Jiang Zuo, you must challenge the second place first."
In addition to challenging the top ten on the Yuanlong List, other strong people can be challenged directly. The only thing is that to challenge the top ten, you must be the eleventh one, and then challenge them one by one in order.
This rule was set to prevent many people from thinking of ascending to fame overnight and directly challenging the top ten on the Yuanlong list. The cultivators in the top ten on the Yuanlong list also have to face challenges all day long.
Old fox.
Xie Jingxing cursed in his heart. He brought Chu Ning here and put such a big blame on Chu Ning just to arouse Jiang Zuo's anger and make him agree to the challenge directly.
But it was obvious that Helian Weizong saw through his purpose and stopped him directly.
If Chu Ning really had to challenge everyone one by one starting from the tenth place, it would be a waste of time.
"Of course, since you have this confidence, I can give you a chance." Helian Weizong changed the subject: "I will ask Jiang Zuo to invite the other nine people in the top ten of the Yuanlong List to Jianshan. As long as you can defeat these nine people, you can fight Jiang Zuo!"
Helian Weizong saw the change in Xie Jingxing's eyes, and felt proud in his heart. He thought that he already knew Xie Jingxing's true purpose.
Xie Jingxing wanted Chu Ning to challenge Jiang Zuo, but he didn't want to make it known to everyone. In this way, even if Chu Ning lost, only a few people would know the news, and it would have little impact on Danshan Sect.
You, Xie Jingxing, have a good plan, but I just won't let you get what you want.
If you want to challenge, then just put it on the table. If Chu Ning loses at that time, it will be considered as overestimating his own abilities, and Danshan Sect will become a laughing stock.
"The master's plan was successful."
Hearing the words of the Sword Master of Wuliang Sword Mountain, the first thought in Chu Ning's mind was that the Sword Master had been fooled by his own sect leader.
"Master Helian, there is no need to be so serious. I brought Chu Ning here to apologize." Xie Jingxing said with some dissatisfaction.
"Apologize? Your sect's disciples are so confident. If we suppress them by force, I'm afraid they will be unwilling to accept it in their hearts."
Helian Weizong smiled but his heart was not. Xie Jingxing immediately said, "Since Chu Ning is not convinced and is sitting in a well and watching the world, then your clan Jiangzuo should come forward and teach him a lesson."
"It's a nice thought. I want a challenge but I don't want to pay the price."
Helian Weizong snorted in his heart, but smiled and said, "Not appropriate. Since we are challenging the first place on the Yuanlong Ranking, we must follow the rules of the Yuanlong Ranking."
Chu Ning on the side knew that this Helian Sword Master had fallen into a trap and he had to take the final step.
"Master, since the Sword Master has said so, I am willing to accept this rule."
Chu Ning had a confident expression on his face. Xie Jingxing glared at him fiercely after hearing what he said. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it, let's do as Helian Sword Master said."
"In that case, please stay in Wuliangjian Mountain for a few days."
Master Helian Jian raised his hand to send the guest away.
Xie Jingxing followed Chu Ning out of the hall, and soon only Helian Weizong and Jiang Zuo, the master and disciple, were left in the hall.
"Master, why bother with so much trouble? I am confident that I can defeat Chu Ning with one sword."
Jiang Zuo felt that his master did not need to do this, and his words were full of confidence in his own abilities.
"That Chu Ning is not simple."
Helian Weizong narrowed his eyes slightly: "The leader of Danshan Sect is an old fox. Since he dares to bring Chu Ning to provoke him, he must have a certain degree of confidence in Chu Ning. Don't underestimate the enemy."
“Master, I am not boasting. I am invincible below the level of Divine Transformation. Even if it is a strong Divine Transformation, I can retreat calmly.”
Helian Weizong naturally understood the strength of his disciples. Seven years ago, Jiang Zuo had fought with an elder in the early stage of Spirit Transformation. Although he was defeated in the end, the elder could not stop Jiang Zuo.
"It's always a good idea to practice meditation during this period of time and be careful."
Helian Weizong did not tell his disciples that the reason he was worried was because of his understanding of Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing, the leader of Danshan Sect, may not be well-known among the nine middle-region cultivators, but he has had dealings with Xie Jingxing, and he is definitely an old fox.
Without certainty, Xie Jingxing would not bring his disciples to challenge.
…
Wuliangjianshan Guest House.
"Master, you really made me suffer."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chu Ning began to complain: "I am such a humble person, but because of you, I have become arrogant and presumptuous."
"Youth is a waste if you don't act frivolously. There's nothing wrong with being a little arrogant at your age."
Although Chu Ning is already a thousand years old, in Xie Jingxing's eyes, he is no different from a young man.
"Master, do you have so much confidence in me?"
"You didn't say it yourself. You are absolutely sure."
Xie Jingxing laughed, but this smile made Chu Ning feel a little uneasy.
"I have found four powerful masters of the Spiritual Transformation Realm for you. If you still lose, you don't have to go back to Danshan Sect."
"Master, are you going to expel this disciple from the sect?"
"Expel me from the sect?" Xie Jingxing snorted, "I will bury you in this Wuliang Sword Mountain."
Chu Ning: ...
Although Chu Ning knew that the Sect Master was joking, it also made him understand that he must win this competition. This should be related to the Sect Master's subsequent plans.
"Master, can you tell me why you must let me defeat Jiang Zuo? Is it because you have a grudge against Helian Jianzhu?"
Apart from this possibility, Chu Ning couldn't think of any other reason.
Being number one on the Yuanlong List may seem very impressive, but that is only in the circle of Nascent Soul cultivators. For a strong person like the sect master, I am afraid that he doesn’t care about the Yuanlong List at all on a daily basis.

"You will know when you win. If you dare to ruin my plan, I will spare your life. But after you return to the sect, you must refine 100 furnaces of elixirs for me. Don't even think about leaving the alchemy room before you succeed. I will be watching you personally."
Chu Ning shuddered all over. Asking him to refine a hundred furnaces of pills in a row, what's the difference between this and killing him.
"Master, rest assured, I will do my best!"
…
…
Demon Slaughter Realm, Dan Realm, Jinglan Realm, Shaoyang Realm, Taiyuan Realm...
Many Nascent Soul cultivators in the nine central regions, especially those who paid attention to the Yuanlong Ranking, heard a rumor.
"Have you heard that Chu Ning from Danshan Sect is at Wuliangjian Mountain and is going to challenge Jiang Zuo, who is number one on the Yuanlong Ranking."
"You are late in sharing this news. It is said that the top ten on the Yuanlong Ranking have already rushed to Wuliangjian Mountain. Chu Ning wants to challenge these nine people first."
"Isn't Chu Ning an alchemist? Why would he challenge the Shangyuan Dragon Ranking?"
"What's wrong with being an alchemist? Not long ago, Chu Ning ranked twelfth on the Yuanlong Ranking. Of course, he is qualified to challenge the top ten."
…
Even among some powerful gods, this news was circulating. Many gods had paid attention to the number one on the Yuanlong list. What's more, this time it was the leader of the Danshan Sect who went to the Wuliangjian Mountain in person, so these gods were naturally curious.
…

East China Sea.
"Chu Ning is going to Wuliangjian Mountain to challenge Jiang Zuo. Do you know about this?"
Song Shaolan came to Tang Ruowei's cave and told her the news.
"Uncle Master, I just learned about this news as well."
Tang Ruowei had a confused look on her face. Seeing her expression, Song Shaolan asked, "Are you worried that Chu Ning is not a match for Jiang Zuo?"
"That's not the case."
Tang Ruowei shook her head. If Chu Ning was not sure, he would never take the initiative to challenge others.
What confused her was that this was not in line with her man's style.
My man is a low-key person, how could he do something as eye-catching as challenging the number one on the Yuanlong List?
"Are you going to Wuliangjian Mountain to watch the battle?" Song Shaolan asked with a smile.
“No, since the leader of Danshan Sect is also in Wuliangjian Mountain, Chu Ning won’t suffer any loss.”
…
…
Sihai Trading Company.
Yun Anlan also heard the news.
"Chu Ning challenges Jiang Zuo?"
Yun Anlan frowned. She had seen Chu Ning's strength before. It was not inferior to that of an average Nascent Soul peak cultivator, but compared to Jiang Zuo, there was still some gap.
Why did the leader of Danshan Sect let Chu Ning do this? "Any other information?"
Yun Anlan asked when he saw his men still standing there.
"The news spread to Chengshan Territory. The cultivators in Chengshan Territory were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to ask our company if there was any gambling going on."
Yun Anlan: ...
"Logically speaking, our company has never opened a gambling game in response to the challenge from the Yuanlong Ranking. I will reply to them right away."
Seeing Yun Anlan remained silent, the old man continued to speak, and then walked outside.
"Reply to Chengshan Territory, there is a bet!"
Yun Anlan raised her red lips slightly. She was going to earn it all back this time. She didn't believe that she could fail twice with the same person.
"Not only Chengshan Territory, but other territories are also gambling. I will tell you the specific odds after I arrive at Wuliangjian Mountain."
This time, she would go to Wuliangjian Mountain in person, meet Chu Ning and Jiang Zuo again, and then give the odds.
This time she wants to make back all the money the business lost that year.
