Avenue Stowaway

The disciples who were entering the Spiritual Realm and ascending the Spiritual Realm present all stared at Kong Fang in a daze, their eyes full of disbelief. Kong Fang actually directly rejected something that others could not even ask for.

"Kong Fang must be crazy." The same thought popped up in everyone's mind. If Kong Fang was not crazy, how could he refuse this good thing that fell from the sky.

"What are you doing, kid? It's a blessing for you that the sect master accepts you as a disciple, so why did you refuse? Even if you already have a master, can your master compare with the sect master?" Elder Qing Fan's voice was filled with a hint of exasperation. He had always liked Kong Fang, a disciple who was not lacking in either talent or hard work. Originally, he planned to accept Kong Fang as his personal disciple after Kong Fang reached the Spirit Ascension Realm.

Now, the sect leader wants to accept Kong Fang as his personal disciple. Although Elder Qing Fan feels a little regretful, he is more happy for Kong Fang. However, what he did not expect is that Kong Fang actually rejected the sect leader's kindness.

“The sect master is a powerful person at the spiritual level. He is also the true ruler of this area within tens of thousands of miles. No, in the future, he will be the true ruler of this area within hundreds of thousands of miles. The help the sect master can provide you in your cultivation is beyond your imagination. Admit your mistake quickly and take the sect master as your teacher.” Elder Qing Fan sent a voice message anxiously to persuade.

Gu Han was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and suppressed the slight unhappiness in his heart. He was the leader of the Qi Sect and a powerful person in the spiritual realm. He took the initiative to accept a personal disciple, but Kong Fang directly refused, which made him look a little embarrassed.

Everyone thought that Kong Fang had made a foolish and wrong decision. After all, in this area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the clan leaders were among the most powerful figures. It was definitely a great blessing to be favored by such a powerful person. Even if Kong Fang's master was more powerful, could he surpass the clan leader? No one believed it in their hearts.

Gu Han suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something. He said, "Since you have already become my disciple, you should have asked your master first. As long as your master agrees, you can become my disciple at any time."

The master's words shocked everyone again. Not only was he not angry because of Kong Fang's refusal, but he also made a promise to Kong Fang. As long as Kong Fang's master agreed, Kong Fang could worship the master as his master at any time. This was simply a favor. Why couldn't such a good thing happen to them?

"Thank you, Sect Master." Kong Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Gu Han selected eleven people from the disciples who had entered the Spirit Realm. Sun Ce and others who were ranked in the top five of the inner hall disciples were selected, and the other six were all from the weapon demons. Including Kong Fang, Gu Han selected a total of twelve people.

Looking at the twelve disciples in front of him, Gu Han frowned slightly. There was no one with extraordinary talent among these twelve people, which made Gu Han very worried about the competition in three days.

Among these twelve people, the most powerful ones were Sun Ce, who was ranked first among the inner disciples, and Sun Shuiping and Fu Hong, who were among the weapon demons. However, Gu Han was a little unsure if he wanted to win the duel by relying on these three people.

Although Gu Han had heard of Kong Fang's strength before, and had just observed Kong Fang carefully, he was a little disappointed that Kong Fang was only in the middle stage of the Introductory Spirit Realm. Kong Fang had just broken through to the Introductory Spirit Realm, and he was able to reach the middle stage of the Introductory Spirit Realm. Gu Han was naturally very satisfied with Kong Fang's talent, and even a little surprised, but talent does not represent strength. Kong Fang's training time was too short, which was Kong Fang's shortcoming, otherwise Gu Han's confidence could have increased a few more points.

But it is almost impossible to improve the strength of these disciples who have entered the Spiritual Realm in just three days, otherwise Bai Yu and Mo Sen would not have been relieved to schedule the duel three days later.

Looking at the twelve people in front of him, Gu Han said, "In three days, you will represent the sect in a duel with the disciples of Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley who have entered the spiritual realm. Your victory or defeat will determine how much territory the sect can occupy in the future and how much benefit it can get, so you can only win this duel, not lose."

Gu Han's eyes swept over everyone's face. Some of them were eager to try and looked excited, while others were frowning and looked solemn. When he saw Kong Fang, Gu Han was startled. He found that Kong Fang had no expression on his face. He looked extremely calm.

However, Gu Han's gaze only stayed on Kong Fang's face for a moment before moving away and continuing, "In the next two days, if you have any questions about your cultivation, you can come to Huoyun Hall to find Elder Qing Fan or me. In the next two days, you must improve your strength as quickly as possible. The more you improve your strength, the greater your chances of winning."

Hearing that they could seek advice from the sect master on problems related to cultivation, many people showed irrepressible excitement on their faces.

“Later, you will tell Chu Jiang your requirements for weapons and armor. Chu Jiang and other disciples in the Weapon Demon will refine mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure level weapons and armor for you as soon as possible. In this competition, you can only have mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure level weapons and armor at most. In this respect, you have no advantage over the people from Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley, so I hope you can improve your strength as soon as possible. If anyone among you can win for the sect, I will accept him as my direct disciple.” In order to win this competition, Gu Han even gave up the spot for his direct disciple.

The victory in this competition is really of great importance. It not only represents how large an area the Weapon Sect can occupy, but also represents how much benefit the Weapon Sect can get from Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley.

Sure enough, after hearing the Sect Master's promise, the eyes of the other eleven people except Kong Fang showed amazing brilliance. And the eyes of the Ascension Realm disciples standing behind were also red, wishing that they were the ones to participate in the duel, so that they would have the opportunity to become the Sect Master's personal disciples.

After encouraging Kong Fang and the other twelve people, Elder Gu Han and Elder Qing Fan left immediately.

Although the sect master and Elder Qing Fan had left, the eleven chosen people were still full of excitement. They all wished they could fight with the disciples of Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley who had entered the spiritual realm right now and defeat them all. Then they could become the sect master's personal disciples.

Kong Fang shook his head secretly. Any normal person could hear the solemnity in the sect master's words, but these people who were overwhelmed by excitement didn't pay any attention at all.

"If we go into a fight with the disciples of Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley with this mentality, I don't know how many of us will survive in the end." Kong Fang shook his head and walked towards Chu Jiang.

Kong Fang would naturally not miss the opportunity to get mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure-level weapons and armor for free.

Kong Fang smiled and told Chu Jiang about the heavy sword and armor he needed. Chu Jiang's face immediately showed a bitter look, "Junior brother, you really know how to take advantage of others. I need to spend a lot of good materials just to refine the heavy sword you made. And I also have to refine another piece of armor for you. Fortunately, the materials this time were provided by the sect, otherwise I would really be reluctant to give them up." Chu Jiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, then I'll wait for good news from senior brother." Kong Fang smiled, and walked towards his own courtyard on the mountain with Fangtou.

……

In a quiet room in Huoyun Hall, Gu Han and Elder Qing Fan sat opposite each other. On the low table in front of them was a jar of fine wine and two wine glasses. Elder Qing Fan filled the glasses for both of them. A strong aroma of wine immediately emanated.

"Good wine. I didn't expect that Qing Fan you have such good wine here." Gu Han said with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Please come in, Sect Master." Elder Qing Fan gestured with a smile.

The two of them poured the wine in the cup into their mouths, savored it slowly, and swallowed it after a long time. Elder Qing Fan filled the two empty glasses with wine again.

This time, Elder Qing Fan did not drink. Instead, he glanced hesitantly at the sect leader sitting opposite him.

"Is there something?" Gu Han asked casually while sipping his wine slowly.

"It's nothing serious." Elder Qing Fan said hesitantly.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Gu Han drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After filling the wine glass for the Sect Master again, Elder Qing Fan spoke up, "Kong Fang rejected the Sect Master's kindness before. He was ungrateful. I hope the Sect Master won't blame him. After all, he is just a kid who has just entered the Spirit Realm. He doesn't understand the significance of worshipping the Sect Master as his teacher."

"Haha, Qing Fan. Since I have reserved a position for him as my personal disciple, I will naturally not blame him." Gu Han looked at Elder Qing Fan meaningfully and said, "That's not what you want to say. You want to say that he rejected me, so why should I reserve a position for him as my personal disciple?"

A trace of panic appeared on Elder Qing Fan's face, "Disciple dare not." In front of this powerful man in the spiritual realm who founded the Weapon Sect, everyone in the Weapon Sect is his disciple, even the elders are no exception.

"No problem." Gu Han waved his hand and said, "Within tens of thousands of miles of this area, there is only one person who can be Kong Fang's master and make Kong Fang dare not worship me as his master again."

"The sect leader is referring to the Dragon King?" Elder Qing Fan asked in surprise.

Gu Han nodded slightly. He said, "Kong Fang is unwilling to reveal his master's name, and he cannot take me as his master. What does this mean? It means that Kong Fang's master is not inferior to me. Even if Kong Fang risks offending me, he dare not go against his master's wishes. Who else can do this except the Dragon King? And Kong Fang happened to be indebted to the Half-Blood Demon Dragon Clan, so it is reasonable for the Dragon King to accept Kong Fang as his apprentice."

Gu Han suddenly shook his head and laughed, "My disciple from Qi Sect became the disciple of Dragon King. He acted very quickly. But it's good this way. Kong Fang will become a link between my Qi Sect and Qianlong Lake. As long as we can win Qianlong Lake to our side, Huayu Sect and Wanjie Valley will not be too much of a threat."

Gu Han's brows relaxed slightly, he raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink."

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The twelve selected people gathered in the open space in front of Huoyun Hall. Each of them was wearing a brand new armor with a faint glow on it, and it was obvious that the grade was not low.

The armor worn by the twelve people was precisely the mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure refined by the weapon demon. As for the weapons, they were put into storage rings by the twelve people.

He scanned the twelve people and found that everyone was in good spirits. Gu Han nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

A powerful fire magic power enveloped everyone and quickly flew towards the Jinyang Sect.

Elder Qing Fan did not go with them this time, as the Qi Sect also needed a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm to take charge.
