Chapter 309 The Sect Masters Shifting the Blame
After saying that, he added, "He is also a ninth-grade array master. If it weren't for that great calamity, he might have already advanced to a divine-grade array master."
As soon as Sect Leader Li finished speaking, Sect Leader Ouyang of Lingyun Sect also spoke up.
"That's right, Feng Xi is also from my Lingyun Sect, and he's a ninth-grade talisman master. He was a prodigy before the Great Cataclysm, and the sect had high hopes for him back then."
Unfortunately, that calamity came too suddenly; not only the prodigies, but also so many people in the sect, were not spared.
So the sudden appearance of these three people is truly something I didn't expect.
Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes revealing confusion and shock. Sect Leader Murong frowned and said:
"These three were all prodigies before the Great Catastrophe. When we went in to clean up, we didn't find anyone living inside."
According to records, all three perished in that catastrophe.
But now they're standing right in front of us, alive and well, with Boss Gu and the others. Could it be that these three accidentally went to another world back then?
It's no wonder he overthinks things! After all, Xu Yi and Boss Gu seem quite familiar with each other.
Who knows, they might have accidentally traveled to other worlds during the Great Cataclysm.
Not only did he have this conjecture, but others also had the same conjecture, and when they heard these words, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"I think that's it. I reckon it was during the great catastrophe when it accidentally fell into that spatial rift."
Then, by sheer luck, he didn't perish in the spatial rift and unexpectedly ended up in the world where Boss Gu and the others lived. Since he came to the Nine Netherworlds this time, he came back to take a look as well.
As Sect Master Qingfeng spoke, he kept nodding. He felt that this was indeed the case. He never expected that these geniuses would have such an opportunity. It was truly remarkable.
"Yes, yes, that's about it. Otherwise, we come in every ten years to clean it up and we've never seen anyone in the ancient battlefield, so they must have accidentally gone to the world where Boss Gu and the others are."
"Quickly, quickly, go and study the passage again. These are all ninth-rank masters. These little brats will benefit greatly from learning something from them!"
"That's right, we've made some progress on the teleportation channel. Let's put in a little more effort and open it up quickly!"
...
After finishing their discussion, the sect leaders and elders of the major sects could no longer sit still and got up to walk towards the elders who were studying the teleportation channel.
Their movement was noticed by everyone below the stage, given the current situation, including the cultivators and disciples from various sects.
At this moment, the most pressing concern is when the teleportation channel will be opened.
They were ready at any moment, eager to rush in the instant the doors opened.
After all, they had been eyeing the things inside for a long time, especially after the direct disciples advanced in their careers.
All they could think about was how rich the spiritual energy in that shop was. The spiritual energy on Lingxiao Island was already quite rich, and it was the fairyland they longed for.
However, after hearing from their disciples that the spiritual energy in this shop was hundreds of times richer than that on Lingxiao Island, they became restless.
Even so, they could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
Unexpectedly, what made them even more envious appeared next: a variety of spiritually potent foods, filling several large shelves.
They were also fascinated by all sorts of strange and unusual things.
Now look what's happened! A ninth-rank weapon-refining master has actually appeared! My goodness! This is the third ninth-rank weapon-refining master on the continent!
The weapon refiners in the crowd were in an uproar. After all, those two ninth-grade weapon refiners on the Nine Nether Continent were beyond their reach, and it was impossible for them to be taught by them.
However, the ninth-grade weapon-refining masters in this ancient battlefield are different.
This is a private, openly run school where, for a fee, a master can personally teach you step-by-step.
This is an incredible opportunity! The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, wishing they could rush into the ancient battlefield right now. Their spirit stones were already prepared and were just waiting to be handed over to the master.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "What are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and help study that teleportation channel. Many hands make light work. Let's try to open the channel as soon as possible so we can go in and become apprentices!"
That shout was like lighting a fuse, instantly turning the already restless crowd into a frenzy.
They jumped up and rushed toward the elders who were currently studying the teleportation channel.
The elders: "........."
They were a bit bewildered at this moment. They had been so focused on figuring out how to open the passage that they hadn't had time to pay attention to what was happening inside the ancient battlefield.
Unexpectedly, just as things were starting to look promising, not only did their own sect leader and elders arrive, but what were those cultivators and disciples doing here?
The elders, jostled and pushed around by the crowd, endured it for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily at the chaotic, crammed crowd:
"What are you all pushing for? Can you clear a passage, or are we? Come on, I'll make way for you, you can figure it out yourselves!"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent. The excitement they had just felt was instantly shattered, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.
Once she came to her senses, she realized what she had done, and immediately blushed with embarrassment, stammering and unable to utter a sound.
Even the major sect leaders who had only recently arrived felt somewhat guilty and short of breath.
The group coughed lightly, but dared not meet the gazes of the angry elders.
Instead, he turned his gaze to the group of brats behind him and scolded them:
"What are you all arguing about here? Can't you see Elder Jin and the others are busy? Do you still want to enter the ancient battlefield?"
"If you want to come in, you'd better all go back and sit down obediently. Otherwise, even if the passage is opened, you won't be able to get in!"
"That's right, everyone hurry back. Look how angry Elder Jin is. All he does is cause trouble and doesn't do any important work."
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go back!"
After the sect leaders finished speaking one after another, they turned around and left without looking back. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people disappeared from everyone's sight.
