Chapter 214: Eyes Turn Green with Envy!

Outside the grand hall, the disciples were already abuzz. They were all speculating about the identity of the mysterious direct disciple inside.

“Could it be Senior Sister An Yuyi? After all, she is the Grand Elder’s niece and has dual spiritual roots. The techniques she has mastered are said to perfectly align with her spiritual roots!”

“It’s possible, but have you noticed Han Li isn’t here either? Junior Brother Han’s talent seems average, but he’s always so secretive; I’m sure he’s hiding something.”

“Senior Brother Wang Lin, who once injured Brother Shi in the direct disciple competition, isn’t here either. Ever since his family was massacred by rogue cultivators, his cultivation has skyrocketed…”

“It might also be Junior Brother Xiao…”

Everyone was guessing.

However, the most accepted speculation was still An Yuyi. It was widely believed that she had gradually amassed power and was truly showcasing her strength at this moment.

And since Senior Sister An Yuyi wasn’t fond of Li Feng, as everyone knew, if the mysterious direct disciple inside was indeed her, then allowing Li Feng inside might very well be a strategy to suppress her.

Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli also felt this was the most likely scenario. However, just then, several figures approached the main peak. Not only did they include the direct disciples that everyone was discussing, but leading them was An Yuyi herself.

This truly baffled everyone. An Yuyi was outside as well? Then who was the mysterious direct disciple inside the hall? Was there really a hidden monster among their Divine Will Sect’s direct disciples? And nobody knew about it?

This was utterly preposterous! An Yuyi slightly frowned as she saw the crowd that had already gathered atop the main peak. On her way here, a distress signal was sent out by a disciple being chased by a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beast, possibly facing death, and she had gone to the rescue, killing the beast but wasting time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have arrived so late.

However, when An Yuyi saw Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli sitting outside the hall, still somewhat pale, she was slightly surprised. These two were her main competitors for the phoenix blood. Why hadn’t they gone in?

“Why haven’t the two senior brothers entered?” An Yuyi asked.

Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli, though surprised that the person inside wasn’t An Yuyi, sighed and responded, “We can’t get in!”

Neither of them wanted to admit they’d been blasted out of the hall so many times they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the mysterious figure inside. Still, An Yuyi pieced together what was happening from the other core disciples’ whispers. A secretive core disciple was holding court in the grand hall. Even Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli, working together, couldn’t break through and had been sent flying multiple times. Yet, Li Feng had made it inside.

Li Feng!

The name made An Yuyi’s eyes narrow. She’d never liked Li Feng. Part of it was the threat Li Feng posed to her status, but more than that, it was because Ye Chen seemed to have a soft spot for her. He’d even given Li Feng a core disciple slot. When Ye Chen returned to Divine Will City, he treated An Yuyi and Li Feng differently, which was clearly his mistake. If he liked her, he should’ve kept his distance from other women. But Li Feng? She was just insufferable.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Glancing at the hall, An Yuyi started walking toward it. Qiao Ciguang quickly spoke up, “Junior Sister An, the mysterious disciple in there is incredibly strong. You might want to wait.”

Shi Wanli nodded in agreement.

But An Yuyi didn’t slow down. If Li Feng can get in, so can I, she thought. Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean I’m inferior to her? That was something she couldn’t accept.

Seeing her ignore their advice, Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli shook their heads.
