Chapter 2440: Chapter 2440: I’ll Teach You a Lesson on Behalf of Master!

Fang Bai was in great pain, while Yanshi Immortal Emperor was very shocked.

His previous sound wave attack was merely a test of Fang Bai’s strength. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Although he noticed that Fang Bai possessed the Innate Fire Spirit Root, he wasn’t certain about Fang Bai’s combat power and wanted to see if the title "Wushuang Immortal King" was self-proclaimed or if there was true skill behind it.

The sound wave attack he used was something even a seventh-ranked Immortal King Realm expert couldn’t withstand and would suffer some injuries. Yet, unexpectedly, Fang Bai remained unharmed.

Thus, Yanshi Immortal Emperor could confirm that the combat power of this Wushuang Immortal King surpassed most immortals of the same realm in the Immortal Realm and was outstanding even among the prodigies of the Golden Crow Palace.

"Hmm, not bad... quite interesting..."

Yanshi Immortal Emperor stroked his beard and looked at Fang Bai with an expression of admiration.

In his eyes, Fang Bai was young, with exceptional talent and potential greater than other prodigies of the Golden Crow Palace.

"Would you be willing to join under my tutelage?"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor, moved by talent, asked with a smile.

"Of course, I would be honored!"

Fang Bai feigned a grateful demeanor and said, "It is my utmost honor to be accepted by Yanshi Immortal Emperor as a disciple!"

Usually, when an immortal first joins a sect, if they are talented and lucky, they might be accepted as a disciple by a steward of that sect.

If they perform outstandingly later and advance rapidly, the immortal might be noticed and accepted as a Direct Disciple by an elder.

Beyond that, if the immortal becomes one of the top Direct Disciples, they might catch the Sect Master’s eye and receive personal guidance.

Now, having just joined the Golden Crow Sect, Fang Bai being considered as a disciple by Yanshi Immortal Emperor, the Vice Palace Master of the Golden Crow Palace, was unconventional and showed how highly he regarded Fang Bai.

Having gained Fang Bai as a disciple, Yanshi Immortal Emperor felt quite pleased and stood up, saying, "Come, I will introduce you to your senior brothers and sisters."

The Golden Crow Palace Mountain is composed of thousands of mountains, and each prodigy or prodigy girl of the Golden Crow Palace occupies a peak.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor led Fang Bai, landed in a massive valley among the mountains, and let out a loud whistle.

Shortly after the whistle sounded, four figures quickly appeared and landed in front of Yanshi Immortal Emperor.

The four figures, two men and two women, were slightly older than Fang Bai, all with Innate Fire Spirit Roots and higher cultivation levels than Fang Bai by one or two realms.

Looking at the four immortals in front of him, Fang Bai couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions, thinking that under the subordinates of a Vice Palace Master in the Golden Crow Palace, there were four prodigies. This glimpse suggested that the Golden Crow Palace was now even more prosperous, possibly stronger than it was a thousand years ago.

"Master!"

The four immortals, upon seeing Yanshi Immortal Emperor, respectfully saluted with fists in hand.

Then, their gazes swept over Fang Bai standing behind Yanshi Immortal Emperor, revealing a trace of surprise.

"This is my newly accepted disciple, titled Wushuang Immortal King."

Yanshi Immortal Emperor turned back to point at Fang Bai and introduced him.

He then pointed to the four immortals and told Fang Bai their titles, saying, "These four are also my Direct Disciples, and from now on, they will be your senior brothers and sisters."

Fang Bai saluted with fists in hand and respectfully said to the four immortals, "I humbly ask for your guidance, senior brothers and sisters."

The four immortals, after receiving his salute, reacted differently.

The two male immortals felt a bit displeased observing that Fang Bai was younger and more attractive than them, but due to their master’s presence, they could only force a smile and nod at Fang Bai.

However, their expressions of disdain and innate arrogance were still evident.

In contrast, the two female immortals were exceedingly warmhearted towards Fang Bai, their attitude extraordinarily amicable, causing the male immortals to feel envious.

Yanshi Immortal Emperor was well aware of the overt and covert struggles and mutual exclusion among his Direct Disciples but chose not to interfere.

He believed that as long as the competition among disciples did not break into enmity, it served as a form of rivalry that would benefit their cultivation advancement.

After advising his disciples for a few moments, Yanshi Immortal Emperor left first.

As for where Fang Bai would reside in the future, he entrusted this task to the two female disciples.

After Yanshi Immortal Emperor’s departure, the expressions of the male immortals changed entirely, no longer smiling but instead showing contempt and arrogance.

"Junior brother, your title Wushuang Immortal King, does it mean you consider yourself invincible among your peers?"

One male immortal asked with a cold smile.

This male immortal, in the seventh-ranked Immortal King Realm, was one realm higher than Fang Bai. He had been admiring one of the female immortals, but she seemed uninterested in him.

Upon seeing the female immortal he admired being enthusiastic towards Fang Bai, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to teach Fang Bai a lesson, partly to vent his frustration and partly to intimidate Fang Bai, lest he unknowingly interferes with his romantic interests.

Fang Bai clearly sensed the hostility and provocativeness in the male immortal’s voice but merely smiled calmly.

"I’m talking to you! Answer me!"

The male immortal, seeing Fang Bai’s silent smile, grew more irritated, raised his eyebrows, and stepped forward, exuding pressure towards Fang Bai.

He intended to embarrass Fang Bai and make him lose face in front of the female immortals, but he didn’t expect Fang Bai to stand his ground and remain unmoved.

The two female immortals, with cultivation levels similar to the male immortal, initially worried for Fang Bai but then noticed that the male immortal’s pressure posed no threat to him, causing them to burst into laughter.

The laughter, reaching the male immortal’s ears, was nothing short of mockery, causing his face to flush red and his anger to surge.

This anger naturally shifted towards Fang Bai.

"You’re disrespecting your senior brother by ignoring my question! I’ll discipline you for the master!"

The male immortal said, his right palm shooting out, forming a blazing Immortal Essence Big Palm aimed at Fang Bai.

Earlier, his pressure failed to threaten Fang Bai, which made him aware of Fang Bai’s exceptional strength. Hence, this time, he used eighty percent of his power, intending to severely injure Fang Bai with a single strike and make him acknowledge his prowess.

The rules of the Golden Crow Palace allowed disciples to fight, as long as it didn’t result in malignant injuries rendering the opponent incapable of further cultivation, it was permissible.

Though such duels often led to discord among disciples, they also maximized the promotion of their overall strength.

This harsh style of competition continued to place the Golden Crow Palace among the top ranks of the eight supreme forces.
