Almighty Genius

Chapter 2402 - 1896: Arrogant Lama

First update, seeking subscriptions, monthly votes~~~~...

The Yin Yang Devil Sect and other evil sects, although perhaps their overall strength cannot compare to any one of the Five Great Sects, but if they unite with several other major evil sects, it would make them quite powerful... Perhaps even stronger than one of the major sects among the Five Great Sects.

Especially this time, the major evil sects are not looking to cause trouble with the Five Great Sects, but rather they aim to target the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm... This is a very serious matter.

The Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm can be said to be one of the most important secrets of the Five Great Sects, concerning their future and prospects... Without this Mini Secret Realm, the Five Great Sects would suffer the loss of many Grandmaster-level experts, or even Supreme Realm powerhouses.

A loss or two could be tolerated, but if this continues over a long time, it might lead the Five Great Sects to fall from grace, becoming akin to sects like Tang Sect or Snow Mountain Sect, which is clearly not what the Five Great Sects want.

Not to mention, if the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm is controlled by the evil sects, as their power rises while the Five Great Sects weaken, the consequences will be even more severe...

Therefore, after Qing Xu Lao Dao received the news from Qin Fang, he immediately sought out the sect leaders of the Five Great Sects to discuss a countermeasure... Although there might be competition and conflict among the Five Great Sects, their interests align in the matter of the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm!

The matter of dealing with the evil sects will naturally be handled by Qing Xu Lao Dao and other Supreme Realm powerhouses... The battle at that level is not something Qin Fang, a Grandmaster-level expert, can partake in, despite his formidable combat strength, in such a battle between Supreme Realm powerhouses, he would only become a useless pawn!

Naturally, Qin Fang is lazy to bother with these matters and focuses on preparing for the Five Sect Martial Arts Competition!

Gradually, the remaining sects also arrived quickly, and all the people from the Five Great Sects were now present.

However, the five sect leaders seemed to be still discussing something and had not appeared yet, so their members and disciples could only wait patiently... Some felt bored and wandered around.

For instance, Monk Wukong ran over from Shaolin to the Kunlun Sect territory to find Qin Fang.

There were many people like Monk Wukong doing similar things, mostly going to find friends they were close to... Of course, some couldn't help but go to show off to their rivals.

"How's it going, is everything smooth?"

Although the two had agreed to meet beforehand, since Qin Fang had become an apprentice, he was brought by Qing Xu Lao Dao for intensive training, and naturally couldn't meet Monk Wukong until now when Monk Wukong came over to ask.

"Smooth it is, but I've encountered some trouble..."

Regarding Monk Wukong, Qin Fang naturally wouldn't hide those matters, he simply shared various dealings within the Kunlun Sect, including how he had severely offended the Qingyuan lineage.

"Kunlun Sect Master's closed-door disciple... You're still the best! I've heard about Qing Xu Taoist Priest, although he appears easy-going, he's actually more protective than anyone... Qingyuan won't dare act against you openly! But secretly... it's hard to say! You better be careful!"

Monk Wukong, being a disciple of the Five Great Sects, naturally knows more about the matters of various sects than Qin Fang, and offered a kind reminder at this moment.

"Don't worry, I'm aware..."

Qin Fang replied with a smile.

Bam~~~

And while Qin Fang and Monk Wukong were talking, someone nearby was suddenly blasted away, landing not far from Qin Fang and Monk Wukong, surprising them slightly.

"Cui Xiu, are you alright?"

Qin Fang glanced over, frowned slightly, and immediately extended a hand to help the disciple who had fallen to the ground...

He actually knew this person, a third-generation disciple of the Kunlun Sect, who was several years older than Qin Fang, but his cultivation was only at the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, considered middling among the disciples participating in this Five Sect Martial Arts Competition!

But speaking of qualifications, this Cui Xiu is actually the disciple of Qin Fang's senior brother, thus Qin Fang's junior uncle... When Qin Fang became an apprentice to Qing Xu Lao Dao, Cui Xiu and others came to pay respects to him, so among the Kunlun disciples, these people are relatively close to Qin Fang.

"Uncle Master, I'm alright..."

Cui Xiu replied rather defiantly, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring towards the front with a somber expression.

"Uncle Master?"

At this moment, someone walked up and overheard Cui Xiu's address to Qin Fang and couldn't help but wonder aloud.

The identity of the newcomer was rather easy to recognize, judging from his attire alone.

Two sects of the Five Great Sects belong to the Buddhist Sect, one being the Zen School's Shaolin, while the other is the Esoteric Sect of the Western Region. Compared to the other sects, these two sects' disciples are the most conspicuous... And the outfits of Shaolin and Esoteric Sect are distinctly different.

"Lama?"

Qin Fang also looked somewhat puzzled at the person in front of him, couldn't help but mutter a sentence, undoubtedly, the opponent must be from the Western Region Esoteric Sect, wearing monk robes, with a very peculiar hat on his head!

"Jiali Cuo..."

It was Monk Wukong who whispered to Qin Fang, "This person is a renowned expert among the younger generation of the Esoteric Sect, but his temper... is famously bad!"

"Cui Xiu, what's going on?"

Qin Fang briefly glanced at this Jiali Cuo, whose strength was indeed quite impressive, already reaching the Master Level Peak, almost stepping into the Great Grandmaster Level, and his age was similar to Monk Wukong, only twenty-five or twenty-six, certainly possessing this arrogant capital!

In comparison, Cui Xiu, who was about the same age, had considerably less strength, no wonder he was just sent flying...

It could be said that his strength, among these contestants, was considered very high... There weren't many who could steadily suppress him! At least on the side of the Kunlun Sect, it seemed that apart from Qin Fang, there was truly no second person!

As for the disciples over thirty, although many were stronger than him, it was inconvenient for them to act, as this was a rivalry among younger disciples, interfering would break the rules, so several people including Jian Qingfeng could only glare angrily at Jiali Cuo but couldn't make a move!

"Uncle, I just casually said a sentence and he immediately acted..."

Seeing Qin Fang's unfavorable expression, Cui Xiu promptly explained the incident's cause.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal; he just mentioned that this time the Kunlun Sect could easily take the first place in the Five Sect Competition, coincidentally passing by Jiali Cuo who couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, and his tone was quite arrogant, naturally, Cui Xiu couldn't hold back a rebuttal.

Unexpectedly, Jiali Cuo directly became angry, and with a palm strike, sent Cui Xiu flying...

Even though Jiali Cuo had considerably restrained his strength with that palm strike, Cui Xiu still got injured, possibly affecting this Five Sect Competition's results... He might have barely qualified for the top thirty but now certainly has no chance!

"So, you're the one who started it?"

Understanding the cause and course of events, Qin Fang finally looked at the arrogant Jiali Cuo, his tone becoming much colder, and sternly asked.

"Hmph... Victory belongs to the king, defeat to the coward, why so much chatter?"

Jiali Cuo was quite arrogant, having just carefully assessed Qin Fang, although knowing Qin Fang, at his young age, was a second-generation disciple of Kunlun Sect, definitely having some extraordinary skill, but finding Qin Fang's cultivation merely in the Master Level Late-Stage, slightly inferior to his, he didn't particularly regard him.

When speaking, he was equally arrogant...

"A fine 'Victory belongs to the king, defeat to the coward'..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle, gazing at Jiali Cuo with a look that seemed to see a fool.

"Courting death!"

Jiali Cuo, extremely arrogant, had never received such a gaze, instantly became angry... Palm energy surged, it surprisingly forcefully attacked Qin Fang!

Just now he had dealt with Cui Xiu, the Kunlun Sect hadn't dared utter a word, those elder disciples couldn't break the rules, merely watching without acting, so now dealing with Qin Fang, presumably still wouldn't cause any trouble...

Jiali Cuo, holding this intention, acted without scruple!

"Ah, truly an idiot..."

Monk Wukong was the first to react, now looking at the attacking Jiali Cuo with eyes meant for a fool... His mouth couldn't help but mutter quietly.

Witnessing such a scene, quite a few present couldn't help but be stunned, just that different people and statuses had naturally different reactions!

For instance, people from the Esoteric Sect, Jiali Cuo's senior and junior brothers, adopted a spectator's stance, wishing to heavily suppress Kunlun Sect's arrogance... At least during the official trial, gaining some advantage.

Kunlun Sect disciples each had a strangely twisted expression, third-generation disciples were slightly better, while second-generation ones like Jian Qingfeng were nearly unable to contain themselves, preparing to burst into laughter... Earlier he planned to signal Qin Fang to deal with this Esoteric Sect's little lama, unexpectedly this fool took the initiative!

Of course, other Kunlun disciples were equally gloating, waiting for Jiali Cuo to be disgraced at Qin Fang's hands...

"Hmph... Ignorance is fearless!"

Seeing this lama, Jiali Cuo daringly make such a fierce move against him, even Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh... At this point, even if he didn't intend to act, he had to!

Otherwise, with the lama's terrifying attack power, even Qin Fang's defense might suffer some injuries...

Evidently, Qin Fang was not willing to get injured for no reason, so... His opponent was destined to be unfortunate! (To be continued.
