Chapter 264: 264. Coveting Disciples

This what many the Spirit Lords in amphitheater thought. They were already jealous that Chen Wentian had Wu Qianyu. They absolutely could not stand that he had gotten Long Yifei as well, not to mention five more disciples in the top one hundred. His luck was too good. A man’s luck had to have limits. Otherwise, he would attract widespread and public condemnation!

Under the barrage of words, Chen Wentian remained calm. His disciples were mostly calm but some of them looked worried. None of them dared to say anything in front of so many immortals and looked to him for help.

“Don’t worry.” He whispered to them using spiritual energy, “There is nothing these people can do to me.”

He gave them an encouraging smile before turning to Ming Hai again.

“Surnamed Ming, we’ve never met I can tell from your actions that you have a discourteous nature. Since you’ve made your intentions clear, why don’t you just say it out loud? Coveting another’s wealth, coveting another’s wife, coveting another’s disciples, it’s all the same and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Just say it, that you want Long Yifei. Regardless of how you incite my fellow immortals, I think those that are experienced and perceptive have already seen through your true nature.”

“What nonsense! When have I ever coveted your disciples?” Ming Hai asked, “I was merely standing up for Snow Fairy Long when she could not do so herself. You are a brand-new immortal and a brand-new sect master. Your reputation is unknown and you are capable of doing all kinds of unspeakable acts. Thus, if Fairy Long wants to complain about grievances, then all of us here today will support her!”

Everyone looked to Long Yifei eagerly and expected her to start making numerous complaints. If Chen Wentian really had mistreated her, it would have turned into a bad situation. As long as she opened her mouth, the other immortals could use that to castigate him.

Chen Wentian was nervous for a split second but Long Yifei gave him a serene smile and remained silent. He relaxed and chuckled.

“Fei’er, thank you.” He whispered to her through the Flawless Snowfrost earrings.

He then turned to Ming Hai again, “Surnamed Ming, I didn’t expect you to covet other people’s disciples but I didn’t know that you were uneducated and ignorant as well.”

“You…”

Chen Wentian raised his voice to drown out Ming Hai’s complaints, “Everyone, this man questions my reputation. I think it should be well known to those that are well-read and pays attention to worldly matters. I, Chen Wentian, am the youngest Spirit Lord ever. I broke through when I was only twenty-five years old. How old were you when you breakthrough?”

“My disciples are all amazing, through their natural talent and of course, through my efforts as well. My first disciple, Lin Qingcheng, won the Mind Focusing group of the Immortal Sect Competition. My second disciple, Zhou Ziyun, won the junior newcomer group of the Immortal Sect Competition. My third disciple, Wu Qianyu, won the Monster Fighting Competition. My other disciples all made it to the top one hundred!”

“…” Ming Hai had nothing to say.

Neither did those that had previously spoken out since all of it was indisputable truth. These people could only dream of having so many amazing disciples.

Chen Wentian pointed at Ming Hai in a challenge. “Now we’re back to the issue of you coveting my disciples. Are your disciples better than my disciples? Do you treat them better than I treat mine? You better show me some proof, otherwise, the words you’ve already spoken have already convicted yourself!”

“… My disciples? Fine, I’ll show you what true talent is!”

Ming Hai beckoned to a woman sitting next to him who stood up and bowed. She was clad in light blue robes that glittered in the morning sun. Her black hair was voluminous and put in a courtly knot atop her head and adorned with countless jeweled hairpins. Her entire makeup accentuated her flawless complexion and oval face which contained perfect features.

“Mo Erniang, greets Immortal Blue Dragon and all respected immortals of the subcontinent.” She said in a melodious voice.

Chen Wentian had to admit that she was quite a stunner. If he had to compare, this woman could be considered only a few small tiers below Long Yifei and Jasmine. He could also see several other beautiful women sitting around Ming Hai. They were all almost at the same level as Mo Erniang.

It was easy to tell what kind of man Ming Hai was. Chen Wentian was honest with himself and understood that he and Ming Hai had similar tastes. They both desired the best and most beautiful female disciples. A mountain could not hold two tigers and thus they were bound to be in conflict.

“Show them.” Ming Hai said.

“Yes, master.”

Mo Erniang lifted her hands and a bright white light appeared between them. She then released it upward and the light shot into the sky. Her spiritual energy was quickly dissipated by the highly concentrated energy of the city but all immortals in the area could still feel it. They accurately gauged her cultivation and it was quite impressive.

“Erniang is thirty-five years old and she has already reached the lesser realm of Spiritual Growth. Tell me, with such a disciple, do I need to covet another?” Ming Hai asked.

There were nods of approval from those that criticized Chen Wentian. Already reaching Spiritual Growth at such an age meant great possibilities for the future. Her talent was amazing and her chosen Dao was extremely suitable. She had a great chance of progressing farther and perhaps even breaking through to the Spirit Lord Realm.

Under normal circumstances, a person with such a disciple would not blatantly covet another’s disciple that was lower in talent. Although Long Yifei was undisputedly the most beautiful, she was still had not reached Spiritual Growth and this was undeniable.

Chen Wentian did not let this affect him, “It looks like we both have great disciples. But since you can make baseless accusations against me, I can also make the same towards you. You having a good disciple doesn’t prove anything except having some good luck. What rank is she among your disciples? You could easily be bullying Mo Erniang and doing unspeaking things to her! Miss Mo, has your master mistreated you? Speak up, everyone here will support you!”

His strong voice echoed around the amphitheater. These words were pretty much the same ones Ming Hai had spoke earlier and Chen Wentian had thrown it back in his face.

There was still no outright support among the crowd for Chen Wentian but he was not discouraged. Those that criticized him remained unconvinced but they were not his intended audience.

The place was filled with Spirit Lords from all kinds of backgrounds who all had their own interests. Ming Hai simply did not have the capability or resources to bring all these Spirit Lords under the banner of the Eastern Light Clan. Not even his Spirit King sect master, Immortal Light of Daybreak, could do it either.

The Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent was under the control of the Immortal Association but not under a single person or faction. There were four Spirit Kings that shared that duty and these four constantly jockeyed for power and prestige. Chen Wentian only had to act accordingly and wait patiently. Ming Hai’s opponents would not let the man be so arrogant and unbridled for long.

Sure enough, another voice joined the fray.

“Hahaha, Brother Ming! Seeing you give no face to an honorable guest fills me with dissatisfaction, with ridicule. This little concubine might be your favorite at the moment but I seem to remember that her rank is still quite low. Am I wrong?”

“You…” Ming Hai muttered.

The newcomer ignored him and gave Chen Wentian a respectful greeting, “Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian, your reputation and the reputation of your talented disciples are untarnished in my eyes. Immortal Spear of the West Tian Guan welcomes you to the Sky District. I hope you had an uneventful trip here!”

“Well met. Brother Tian Guan is a champion amongst men, someone who knows right from wrong, wickedness from righteousness. I like this kind of person!” Chen Wentian replied.

“Likewise, likewise!”

The pair shared a laugh, which caused Ming Hai’s face to darken.

Tian Guan was the scion of the House of Armament which was led by another Spirit King. They, the Eastern Light Clan, Huang Wuji, and Gong Liyun were the four kings of the subcontinent. Each was proud and refused to back down from the other. They weren’t in open conflict but they weren’t close friends either. Since Ming Hai had given Tian Guan an opening, the House of Armament definitely was going to take advantage.
