Chapter 661: Unreliable Organization (3)
Tang Rao had a befuddled look on his face, "What the hell, that's it?"
What kind of joke is this?
My energy circle hasn't changed color at all, it's transparent, which is the hallmark of the crappiest talent.
Me, the most ferocious talent of the youth in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, how could I not even reach yellow, not to mention pale yellow? This is unscientific!
Look to the left and right—one is pale red, and the other has turned straight to black.
Li Shengxuan did say that achieving a black energy circle marks an extremely rare demonic genius of thousands of years.
Even the red one is pretty badass, not quite demonic, but still fierce.
Well-cultivated, that could lead to Luo Xian achievement, or perhaps even reach Immortal Monarch status with some hard work.
But myself, transparent…
Tang Rao felt his heart in pain, a pain that he couldn't extricate himself from.
What the heck is this, does it have to be like that?
So lousy, others will look down on me. Then I won't have a backing, and without support, with my current strength, it's definitely going to be tough going.
There couldn't be anything more suicidal than this.
"This young friend here, I am Jiang Zifeng, the Guide of Luofu Mountain. Young friend, you have excellent talent, I wonder, would you be willing to join Luofu Mountain?" Before Tang Rao could snap out of it, an old man floated over, looking quite the Daoist immortal.
Of course, the old man wasn't speaking to Tang Rao, but to the youth on the right whose energy circle had turned black.
The youth looked to be in his twenties, with sharp brows and bright eyes, quite a handsome fellow. He seemed rather aloof, though, giving no response to the old man's inquiry.
"Old Man Jiang, you from Luofu Mountain sure have a sense of humor. Do you think your Luofu Mountain can handle such a genius?" Soon, another figure appeared.
A middle-aged man donned in a brocade robe, which seemed to be a uniform with a special badge.
He looked like the Jinyi Guard from the old Flame Nation.
"Young friend, I am Gu Juechen from Yuhua Heavenly Palace. Our palace controls a domain in the Land of Immortals, with an Immortal Emperor reigning over it. With your talent, perhaps you could gain the Immortal Emperor's favor; that way, you could rise high with ease!"
Hearing Gu Juechen's words, many fell silent.
Yuhua Heavenly Palace really has some clout, and with Gu Juechen using the Immortal Emperor as bait, it's pretty underhanded.
A newcomer to the Land of Immortals, how could they resist the temptation of the Immortal Emperor as a master?
That's it, it seems that this genius will be taken away by Yuhua Heavenly Palace.
"Hehe, interesting. A genius with a black energy circle pops up. Fine, I, the leader of Tongtian, want him!" At this moment, a resounding roar was heard.
A man who was four meters tall, massively built, covered in iron armor, with two huge blades shimmering with cold light on his back, came into view.
Seeing this person, both Jiang Zifeng and Gu Juechen stepped back, silently swallowing.
Damn it, why is this madman here...
Tongtian leader Yu San is unquestionably formidable to the extreme.
He's a Ninefold Immortal Monarch in strength. Of course, if that were all, Gu Juechen wouldn't have stepped back, but what's truly frightening is the Tongtian Buddha Mountain where the Tongtian leader resides.
Apart from the Tongtian Demon Buddha, there's now a Tongtian Saint Buddha, one demon and one saint, two Immortal Emperor-level masters.
Even Yuhua Heavenly Palace wouldn't dare to provoke Tongtian Buddha Mountain.
"Do the two juniors have any objections?" Yu San looked at Jiang Zifeng and Gu Juechen.
Jiang Zifeng and Gu Juechen were only at Luo Xian Realm, how could they raise objections to Yu San.
The two immediately clenched their fists in a greeting, slightly retreating to show no contention.
"Young man, would you like to come with me?" Yu San asked the youth.
The youth bowed his hands, "Sorry."
What!
Rejecting Yu San?
Many people thought the youth was crazy; everyone knew Yu San had a volatile temper and disliked others going against him the most.
Even if you are a monstrous talent with a black energy circle, it won't do; if Yu San gets enraged, he dares to confront anyone.
"Bastard, ignorant fool, courting death!" Yu San glared, his murderous intent crisscrossing around him.
The young man narrowed his eyes, staring at Yu San.
"Yu San, who are you saying is courting death?" the youth suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat eerie.
He knows Yu San? Everyone was taken aback.
Yu San also slightly furrowed his brows.
"I have roamed the Land of Immortals for tens of thousands of years, and nobody has dared to say those words to me, Hidden Blade Man!" The youth spoke with a chill in his voice.
But upon hearing the youth's words, Yu San's face suddenly changed, and the surrounding crowd all gulped nervously.
Hidden Blade Man!
This was an avatar of Hidden Blade Man.
Damn, no wonder he reached the black Energy Circle.
"That... I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first, please excuse me, sir." The overlord of Tongtian turned towards Hidden Blade Man and cupped his fists in farewell.
Damn, he wouldn't dare to mess with such a deity. If he really angered Hidden Blade Man, even nine lives wouldn't be enough to escape death.
Although Hidden Blade Man was alone, without any faction backing him, there were truly very few in the Land of Immortals who would dare provoke him.
Because he had killed other Immortal Emperors.
Just that point alone was enough to shock people.
Experts at the level of Immortal Emperor were already at the pinnacle, extremely difficult to kill.
Even those who had advanced to Immortal Emperor thousands or tens of thousands of years ago would find it nearly impossible to kill a novice who had just ascended to the Immortal Emperor level.
"Hmph!" Hidden Blade Man, however, did not lower himself to the level of the overlord of Tongtian, not bothering to stop him.
After the overlord of Tongtian left, Hidden Blade Man swept a glance over the Guides from various factions, a strange cold smile emerging on his face.
Afterward, Hidden Blade Man didn't say anything further, turned his head to glance at Tang Rao and another person, and then left directly.
It was only after Hidden Blade Man had departed that everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Damn, it was Hidden Blade Man's avatar, that was a close call.
"I'll take this one away." As soon as Hidden Blade Man had left, Yu San returned, grabbing the fellow to the left of Tang Rao.
That person's light circle had also reached red, a fairly respectable talent.
"Do you have any objections?" Yu San asked.
"No objections, youngster." The man immediately grinned ear to ear, being able to enter Tongtian Buddha Mountain was an incredible stroke of fortune.
"Alright, let's go!" Yu San nodded.
As he left, Yu San gave Tang Rao a glance, then left behind two words: Trash.
Yes, Yu San had nothing but contempt for Tang Rao, with an Energy Circle that was transparent. Was there any trash worse than this?
Not to mention his Tongtian Buddha Mountain, even the lousiest faction wouldn't take a second look at such trash.
"Alas, everyone else has been snatched up, let's go, let's go."
"It seems we'll have to wait for the next round, how boring."
"Didn't get anything."
"Right, there's still one more, isn't there?" Someone called out without anyone knowing.
Everyone looked towards Tang Rao.
Tang Rao blinked, oh man, you finally noticed me.
Since his Energy Circle was transparent, Tang Rao didn't act too uppity, having no confidence.
"Well, hello there," Tang Rao could only wave his hand, somewhat awkwardly greeting everyone.
"Haha, I think this guy is suitable for Kao Shan Sect!"
"Exactly, exactly, Niu Ben, this person would be good to join Kao Shan Sect!"
"Niu Ben, if you don't take him in, then you're not giving us face, you must accept him!"
Many people started to stir things up.
