Chapter 1402: Chapter 1399: Declaring War on Xu Wendong

Although he knew that a banquet might have no good intentions, Xu Wendong still accepted the invitation, even though he was wary of the overall strength of the Yin Corpse Sect.

However...

A mere Chu Xinghe wasn’t worth his attention.

Just like that.

Xu Wendong then followed Chu Xinghe and Wang Lan to a delicate bamboo house deep within the bamboo forest.

At this moment, six young men with dignified auras and extraordinary temperament had already gathered in the bamboo house.

However, their faces were all pale, devoid of any blood color.

Even so.

These individuals all had cultivation levels at the Great Ascension Peak, making them outstanding members of the younger generation within the Yin Corpse Sect.

They had always been suppressing their cultivation, waiting for the opening of the Heavenly Pride Competition.

Because as long as they won the championship, they could access that Immortal Corpse, and if they could refine it, transcending tribulation and ascending would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, they could even have a foothold in the Immortal Realm.

”Fellow Junior Brothers, this is the new disciple the Sect Leader has taken in, Junior Brother Xu Wendong!” Chu Xinghe introduced Xu Wendong to everyone with a smile.

The six of them rose in succession, their eyes filled with displeasure and hostility towards Xu Wendong, but still, they greeted him.

After all, he was the new disciple of the Sect Leader.

In terms of status and rank, he was far above them.

The courtesy that should be given must be given.

”Junior Brother Xu, please have a seat!” Chu Xinghe warmly invited.

Xu Wendong acknowledged with a hum and then, under Chu Xinghe’s direction, sat cross-legged on a cushion, with a table in front of him bearing some spirit fruits, dishes, and a jar of fine wine.

”Junior Brother Xu, how long have you been cultivating?”

Just as Xu Wendong sat down, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes asked with a smile.

”Over three thousand years!” Xu Wendong casually replied.

Upon hearing this.

The people present burst into laughter, their laughter tinged with disdain and mockery.

The cultivation world is full of talent; taking three thousand years to cultivate to the Great Ascension Peak was indeed a mediocre talent.

Wang Lan showed an awkward expression.

He wanted to speak up for Xu Wendong, but his status in the Yin Corpse Sect was not high. Even though he was the disciple of the Sect Leader, due to the Sect Leader’s seclusion, his authority was also diminished.

At this moment, a young man dressed in a black robe with peach blossom eyes sneered, ”Three thousand years to reach the Great Ascension Peak, your cultivation talent is truly unremarkable!”

”The combined years of cultivation to the Mahayana stage of the senior brothers present here do not even add up to three thousand years!”

”With your cultivation talent, what qualifications do you have to sit with us and drink?”

Chu Xinghe frowned discontentedly, ”Junior Brother Cheng, mind your manners!”

The young man showed a hint of caution but still said, ”Senior Brother Chu, it’s not that I don’t understand etiquette, but this guy’s talent is too mediocre. He does not deserve to drink with us.”

Chu Xinghe snorted coldly, ”Junior Brother Xu’s cultivation speed might be slower than ours; calling him a waste isn’t excessive.”

”But the path of cultivation values a steady pace; do not let other factors affect your Dao Foundation.”

”To speak hypothetically, Junior Brother Xu’s talent in the Corpse Control Technique far surpasses ours; that is something we should respect.”

Xu Wendong quietly ate the spirit fruits, watching these individuals’ clumsy performance like an outsider, as they alternated between giving him a slap and then a sweet date.

I must say, their coordination is quite impressive.

”Junior Brother Xu, might you show us the spell you primarily cultivate?” a young man in a white robe asked with a smile.

At this time.

Everyone simultaneously turned to Xu Wendong, eager to discern his strength.

Xu Wendong shook his head, ”I primarily cultivate the Physical Body, not skilled in spells.”

”Primarily cultivate the Physical Body?” the young man who previously mocked Xu Wendong lit up, standing excitedly, his eyes shining with enthusiasm, ”I also primarily cultivate the Physical Body. Would Junior Brother Xu be interested in a sparring match?”

Just as Xu Wendong was about to respond, Wang Lan’s voice echoed deeply in his mind, ”Junior Brother Xu, do not agree to Cheng Wu’s challenge. He cultivates the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art, which is ranked seventh among body refining techniques in the entire cultivation world. Its power is extremely terrifying!”

”Moreover, Cheng Wu’s master is also an Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect, who has cultivated the Thunder Law, and Cheng Wu often tempers his body with Sky Thunder.”

”His physical body is unrivaled among the younger generation in the Yin Corpse Sect!”

Xu Wendong understood, having heard of the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art and its terrifying reputation, but...

Even though his opponent had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art, how could it compare to his Ancient Sacred Body?

Frankly speaking, the ultimate goal of the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art is merely the starting point of the Ancient Sacred Body.

Seeing Xu Wendong hesitate, Cheng Wu’s face revealed a playful smile, ”Junior Brother Xu wouldn’t be chickening out, would you? If you are, then be sensible and get out of our sight!”

Another young man spoke up, ”No, you should leave the Yin Corpse Sect!”

”That’s right, you’re the Sect Leader’s Inner Chamber Disciple, carrying the future of our Yin Corpse Sect. If you lack the courage to face challenges, how can you lead the Yin Corpse Sect to glory?”

The crowd spoke one after another.

Chu Xinghe frowned, discontentedly saying, ”Junior Brother Cheng, you’re going too far. I invited Junior Brother Xu today to drink and get acquainted; how can you declare a challenge to him?”

”You’re not just disrespecting me, but also showing disrespect to Junior Brother Xu.”

”You need to apologize to Junior Brother Xu!”

Cheng Wu revealed a sheepish smile, ”Senior Brother Chu, you can’t blame me entirely. It’s just that it’s been a long time since I’ve encountered another body refining expert, and I was itching for a challenge.”

With that, he glanced at Xu Wendong and casually said, ”Please forgive my earlier impulsiveness, Junior Brother Xu; let’s call off our sparring match!” Then he sat cross-legged on the cushion, lifted his cup, and downed the wine in one go.

As if nothing had happened.

However, the others looked at Xu Wendong with eyes filled with intriguing glimmers.

Clearly.

If Xu Wendong truly refused the sparring match with Cheng Wu today, from now on, he would become the biggest laughingstock of the Yin Corpse Sect, with no place to stand.

Even as the Sect Leader’s Inner Chamber Disciple.

Xu Wendong quietly ate the spirit fruit in front of him, his voice indifferent, ”If Senior Brother Cheng is scared, then we can call off today’s sparring match!”

These words were spoken.

The scene fell dead silent, everyone widening their eyes, briefly thinking they had misheard.

Chu Xinghe was the first to react, suppressing his inner joy as he feigned calmness, ”Junior Brother Xu, you’re not really accepting Junior Brother Cheng’s challenge, are you?”
