"Gao Han, you are really amazing." Yuan Ran opened his mouth for a long time and uttered these words full of amazement.

Now, he is truly convinced.

What's the point of having talent? Some people have talent but the strength they display does not reach the level that their talent should be. It is rare to find someone like Gao Han who is both talented and able to challenge opponents of higher levels in a thousand years.

He has always thought that Tianjiao was already powerful enough, but now it seems that Gao Han should be able to enter the ranking of top geniuses when his cultivation level is further improved.

Gao Han shook his head gently. "I was able to finish it so quickly thanks to Tingzhou's help in restraining the commander-level demon. If I had done it myself, it would probably take at least two months."

Yuan Ran opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Is two months a long time, is that really being modest?

Zhongli Tingzhou on the side sneered, although he quickly stopped laughing.

Yuan Ran's face flushed red, and after a long while, he said dryly: "No matter what, just come back safely."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Recently, Xiaori City was destroyed. Someone saw the mayor of Xiaori City being beheaded a hundred miles away. Its superior is the Level 7 Demon City, which is looking for the Nascent Soul cultivators who destroyed the city. If they encounter human cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, they will kill them directly. Have you heard about it? You shouldn't have encountered them, right?"

Gao Han was stunned and looked at Zhongli Tingzhou, and suddenly understood how they encountered the last commander-level demon.

"I know about the destruction of Xiaori City. There are few demons in the south. If the area does not exceed a hundred miles, it will be difficult to gather a thousand general-level demons and ten commander-level demons within a month. A level nine demon city is okay, and we can gather them."

Demon cities dare not build within a hundred miles of human cities, especially large cities like Blackrock City. There are countless human monks coming and going every day. So if you want to find demons, you must go deep into the area for a hundred miles, otherwise it will be all desolate places.

"So that's how it is. Indeed, a level nine demon city has at least a thousand general-level demons, and four to six commander-level demons..." Yuan Ran nodded as he spoke, without reacting.

Junior Brother Li, who was listening to their conversation, was dumbfounded. Was that what he understood?

In fact, he felt that their conversation was weird from the beginning. Gathering a thousand general-level monsters and ten commander-level monsters, did that mean killing them?

Then, in order to gather the number, this senior apprentice brother attacked a level nine demon city, which directly led to the destruction of the demon city.

He felt that his brain was not enough. There was no problem with the logic, but it didn't make sense in theory.

Junior Brother Li glanced at Senior Brother Yuan who had no reaction at all, suspecting that he was wrong. It shouldn't be possible. That's right, that's right. How could Junior Brother Gao destroy a small city of Ri? He was indeed thinking too much.

"But it's not easy to lure the demon out. You must have spent a lot of effort on it." Yuan Ran looked at him and said sympathetically.

Gao Han coughed lightly, "It's not bad. Tingzhou helped to lure away the city lord of Xiaori City. Two commander-level demons were not here at the time, and they also took away hundreds of general-level demons. This gave me the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yuan Ran met his eyes and blinked.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou. Was this too much of a blow?

"The destruction of Xiaori City was done by you and your uncle?"

Qin Changsheng's voice suddenly sounded. As soon as he came over, he found that Gao Han had made a breakthrough and his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building. Before he could be surprised, he was shocked by his words.

"It was just luck." Gao Han realized after returning to the city that they had destroyed a level nine demon city, but it actually caused such a big commotion. He was a little confused. It was just a level nine demon city, why did everyone react so strongly?

"This is not the place to talk, let's go inside." Qin Changsheng looked around. The heat of Xiaori City had not yet passed, and many people were still discussing this matter.

Everyone followed him to his residence, and Yuan Ran remained silent all the way.

"Li Ming, go outside and don't tell anyone what you just heard." When they arrived at the place, Qin Changsheng asked Yuan Ran's junior brother to guard outside.

Junior Brother Li actually wanted to hear more thrilling content. Hearing this, he felt a little reluctant, but he didn't dare not to listen, so he could only walk out slowly.

"Was the incident in Xiaori City really done by the two uncles and uncles?" Qin Changsheng confirmed again as soon as the door was closed.

"Is there any problem?" The one who asked the question was Zhongli Tingzhou, looking at him indifferently.

Qin Changsheng smiled bitterly, "No problem, Master Uncle is indeed a man of appearances. So, Master Uncle killed the Lord of Kuike in Xiaori City?"

Zhongli Tingzhou remained calm, "It's just a small price to pay."

Qin Changsheng looked at him standing in front of him unharmed, and couldn't tell what price he had paid.

Now he finally understood why his uncle-master accepted this uncle-master as his disciple. It turned out that his uncle-master had his own reasons for doing things.

"Changsheng admires me." This time, Qin Changsheng really agreed with this uncle who suddenly appeared. Judging from the level of this monster, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them. The uncle's eyes were sharp enough. "Ten commander-level monsters, what's going on?"

He hadn’t asked Yuan Ran before, but after hearing it this time, he no longer pretended not to know.

Zhongli Tingzhou didn't have Yuan Ran's scruples and master's orders. He wished that others would know how powerful Gao Han was. "It's nothing. My master asked Senior Tiandao to accept Gao Han as his disciple. Senior Tiandao proposed that Gao Han personally kill a thousand general-level demons and ten commander-level demons."

That’s all. Qin Changsheng felt that every word of this sentence was as shocking as the thunder tribulation he encountered.

My uncle-master actually came forward and asked Senior Tiandao to accept me as his disciple.

Senior Tiandao, who had vowed never to accept another disciple, actually agreed to accept a disciple.

The condition for accepting a disciple is that a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building must personally kill ten commander-level demons whose cultivation is one major realm higher than his.

Each piece of information revealed in this sentence is thrilling enough when taken alone, and it is even more so when combined together.

At this moment, Qin Changsheng finally understood why Yuan Ran had been so worried about them before.

One is his uncle, the disciple of the strongest swordsman in Lingtian Continent.

One is Senior Tiandao, the future disciple of the strongest swordsman.

He would be worried too, Yuanran didn't even tell him about this before.

Qin Changsheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. After a moment, he spoke again, "Don't tell others that you are the ones who did what happened in Xiaori City. Demons always seek revenge." Seeing Zhongli Tingzhou frown, he added, "It's not that I'm afraid of them, I just want to avoid unnecessary trouble. Uncle Shi probably doesn't want you to go into the demon battlefield next time, and there will be a large group of demons chasing you."

That’s pretty good, Zhongli Tingzhou nodded. If he wanted to rob a demon city next time, he should be more low-key.

Qin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he agreed, he was worried that his uncle would not agree and would insist on letting outsiders know that the destruction of Xiaori City was their credit. Being ambitious is not a good quality.

"Uncle Qin, don't worry. We won't tell anyone." Gao Han said.

When Qin Changsheng heard him call him Uncle Qin, he did not show any joy this time.

Senior Tiandao, like his uncle-master, holds an extraordinary status in Zixiao Sect and is also a powerful figure of the same period. If Gao Han becomes his disciple, he has no idea how the seniority will be calculated. Forget it, it has nothing to do with him anyway, so let the Sect Master worry about this matter.

…

Zixiao Sect's Master Bai, who was walking slowly on the hillside of Shangjiu Peak with his hands behind his back, suddenly felt his nose itchy. He knew without counting who was talking about him behind his back again, and it was definitely not good.

He raised his head to look at the vast expanse of white Upper Nine Peaks. A ray of light popped out from his fingertips and shot into the restriction of Upper Nine Peaks. The restriction then opened an entrance.

A month is almost up, and after finishing his work, he should ask some questions. Otherwise, when the news spreads, it would be too pitiful for him, as the sect leader, to know nothing.

"What do you want from me?" The faint figure of Master Zixiao stood between the bright heaven and earth, like a phantom floating in the wind.

Sect Leader Bai cupped his hands and then smiled bitterly, "Master-uncle is very good at predicting. Didn't Master-uncle already know why I came here? I have sent people to investigate these days, but I still can't find out their identities. I only know that they first appeared in the Jiaoge Desert, but there is no information before that."

To be honest, for this recruitment competition, Zixiao Sect only wanted to recruit those who knew the ins and outs, especially inner disciples.

Who would have thought that Zhongli Tingzhou and Gao Han would suddenly appear, and both of them passed the assessment with good results. It would have been fine if they had become inner disciples, and kept them under his nose, at least he could observe them for a period of time to see if there were any problems. But the great-uncle-master suddenly offered to take them in as disciples.

He would have accepted a disciple, but he chose one with unknown origins and introduced another one with unknown origins to Senior Tiandao.

During this period, Sect Leader Bai always had an extremely disrespectful thought. He wanted to cut open his great-grandmaster's brain to see what he was thinking. Of course, he could only think about it in his mind. It would be easier to cut open his own brain than to let him say it out loud.

During this period of time, he was really worried about the future of Zixiao Sect.

If these were two inner disciples of unknown origin, he would accept them even if they were accepted as disciples by Junior Brother Hou and the others. But since they were his uncle, if something really happened in the future, would he be able to teach his uncle a lesson? If the uncle knew that his disciples were wronged, would he slap him to death and find someone else to be the sect leader?

Especially this new uncle-in-law, he was not a pushover. He still remembered how this uncle-in-law came to him to get something. He had never seen anyone so proactive and strong, calling him "nephew" all the time.

There was no other way. Since he couldn't find out the truth and he couldn't feel at ease, Sect Leader Bai could only go to his uncle-master himself to ask for clarification.

"Since you know that I can tell fortunes, how do you know that I can't figure out their origins?" Master Zixiao said calmly.

Sect Leader Bai was stunned, it seemed to be true.

Master Zixiao said again: "However, I have not calculated it, but I am sure that they are not a threat to Zixiao Sect, and they are not sent by anyone. You can rest assured about this."

Sect Leader Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that his great-grandmaster would actually breathe heavily when he spoke?

"As for worrying about him making things difficult for you, your uncle has a strange fate and a strange personality, but he is not a person without sense of propriety. At most, he will make things difficult for you in the future. There is no need to worry."

Bai Zongzhang opened his mouth. What should he say? Thank you, uncle. Is he just embarrassing him? The key is, is this the uncle he knows? It must be that his posture when climbing the mountain today is wrong.

"If there is nothing else, you can go." Master Zixiao said as he drove the people away, and then he disappeared first. His white figure seemed to blend into the snowy world again.

The cold wind mixed with ice and snow was blowing, making Sect Leader Bai feel chilled to the bone.

My uncle-master has changed.

I always feel that he will have a hard time in the future.
