"Brother Shen arrived before us, so he must be stronger than us. I doubt he participated in this competition."

Among the few people, except Mu Qingli, Pei Yan and Mu Qingchen were the ones who spent the most time together and knew him best, so he expressed his guess.

The others nodded. Mu Qingli also thought so, but it was difficult to say more now. "I'll send an inquiry after I get back."

Everyone focused their attention on the stairs. Someone had already reached the top, and an elder happily said, "This is a disciple from our Tianjian Sect. I didn't expect him to break last year's record."

The leader of Xuanling Sect seemed to be heartbroken, and this time he had to prepare another 100,000 spirit stones.

Unfortunately, this disciple timed it very cleverly, so even if he was a few seconds late, he would not break the record.

Soon, the disciple was invited over. As the eighth place in the first competition, he also received a reward. The leader of the Tianjian Sect saw that he was a stranger and asked him a few questions.

"What's your name? Which elder are you from?"

The disciple replied respectfully, "Master, my name is Xi Guan, I'm a fifth-level Spiritual Emperor, and I'm just an ordinary inner sect disciple."

The leader of Tianjian Sect frowned when he heard this.

"You were able to achieve eighth place and break the record, which shows that you are capable. Why weren't you chosen by the elders?"

The other elders of Tianjian Sect did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the Sect Master, nor did they dare to say that they all disliked Xi Guan in the beginning.

What they fear most now is that Xi Guan will tell everyone about the sect selection. If the sect leader gets angry, they will definitely be punished.

Xi Guan glanced at the elders who were pretending to be aloof and felt a little funny in his heart, but when he remembered what happened on the day of the sect selection, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Master, maybe this disciple is not popular. I have a request for your address. I hope you can agree to it."

When the leader of Tianjian Sect saw his disciple kneeling in public, he immediately asked him to stand up.

Xi Guan did not stand up, but kowtowed instead, which made the elders feel even more guilty.

"Master, I have a request."

Xi Guan repeated it again.

The leader of the Tianjian Sect was not a particularly evil person. Seeing his disciple like this, he sighed and said, "Okay, I agree. You get up and talk first."

Xi Guan finally heard the answer he wanted and straightened up: "Disciple requests to leave the sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping for air at the scene, and even Mu Qingli couldn't help but look at him.

After the initial shock, the Tianjian Sect leader came back to his senses: "Xi Guan, do you know what you are saying?"

Xi Guan's tone was very firm, and he repeated again: "Disciple requests to leave the sect."

Even the Heavenly Sword Sect's leader, despite his good temper, couldn't help but get angry at this moment: "Do you know that once you leave the sect, if no other sect accepts you within a month, you will no longer be eligible to enter the sect?"

Xi Guan's face was calm. "Master, I've already made this decision, but I haven't seen you yet. Although the current situation is not suitable for talking about this, if I don't say it, there will be no chance. They won't let me see you."

The elders of the Tianjian Sect immediately shouted, "Xi Guan, what are you talking about? Get out of here!"

Xi Guan looked at the elder with a mocking smile on his face: "I just discovered some secrets, and you are targeting me like this. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid I will never be able to get out of this situation."

The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect calmed down and looked at the elder who had spoken. He had a guess in his mind, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "Are you sure you want to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

He did not ask Xi Guan what secret he knew, for he was afraid that this secret would make the Tianjian Sect a laughing stock.

Xi Guan nodded: "I'm sure."

"You can leave, but I will erase your memories of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Are you willing?"

Xi Guan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been living in fear these past few days, fearing that he would be silenced because of those secrets. Now that his memory had been erased, it was better: "I do."

As soon as these three words fell, the leader of the Tianjian Sect immediately took action to erase his memory, and some elders of the Tianjian Sect also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's a secret and not leaked out, it's fine.

Seeing this, Luo Yu quietly discussed with Murong Jingchen: "Xiaochen, do you think the erased memories can be restored?"

Murong Jingchen observed the movements of the Tianjian Sect leader and expressed his guess: "Probably. I've seen it in ancient books before."

The two men spoke in low voices. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Xi Guan and they did not notice their conversation.

Mu Qingli heard their little rustling movements and gave each of them an injection, which made them feel painful and gasp.

However, they did not make a sound, but quietly took out the needle and returned it to Mu Qingli.

On Xi Guan's side, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had completely erased his memory: "You are no longer a disciple of my Heavenly Sword Sect. You can go wherever you want."

Although Xi Guan's memory was erased, some of his thoughts remained unchanged. He bowed to the Tianjian Sect's leader and thanked him, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your help."

The leaders and elders of other sects all had their own ideas.

"Xi Guan, are you willing to come to Wuji Sect? I can accept you as my personal disciple."

The leader of the Wuji Sect took the lead in recruiting talents.

With his start, other sects also began to compete for it, only Xuantian Sect did not make any move.

Although the leader of Tianjian Zhongzong had a bad look on his face, he seemed to know that his sect had let him down, so he did not stop him.

Xi Guan politely declined the invitations of the sect leaders and elders one by one, then turned and approached Miao Hongfang. "Sect Leader Miao, you have always been my role model. I wonder if I will be fortunate enough to be admitted to the Xuantian Sect."

Miao Hongfang looked at him quietly without saying anything.

However, in Xi Guan's opinion, since Miao Hongfang did not refuse, there was hope, and he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Everyone was waiting for Miao Hongfang's final decision. The Wuji Sect and other sects even expected Miao Hongfang to directly refuse, so that they could have one more genius.

Miao Hongfang thought for a while and asked, "Since you regard me as your role model, why did you go to the Tianjian Sect?"

This question was difficult to answer, but Xi Guan remained neither humble nor overbearing: "I chose the Tianjian Sect because they have two swords with spirit weapons. It is said that no one has been able to gain their approval so far, so I want to give it a try."

Everyone gasped at his answer, thinking that Miao Hongfang would definitely not agree to Xi Guan entering Xuantian Sect.

His answer was terrible!

But Miao Hongfang suddenly laughed, and what he said made everyone think they were hallucinating.
