The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

In Zixiao Palace, the inner court selection competition is undoubtedly a highly anticipated event. Whenever this happens, all elders will put down their work and come to the scene to cheer for their disciples.

After all, if a disciple can successfully enter the inner courtyard, it not only means honor and face for the elders, but it is also likely to bring them promotion in position and more resources.

Therefore, for this year's inner court selection, almost all the elders of Zixiao Palace were present, with only Gu Changhuan not showing up.

Beside Duan Tianyang and Yan Yuexin, two elders from the Zixiao Palace dressed in scarlet Taoist robes were talking about the grand occasion of this inner courtyard selection.

An old man named Gao Bo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This year's selection competition is really lively, and the number of participants far exceeds that of previous years. It seems that the young people are formidable, and the future of Zixiao Palace is promising!" His eyes revealed his appreciation and expectations for the young disciples.

Another elder, Xuan Tong, also echoed, "Indeed, especially Xie Yan, who is under Elder Gao's tutelage. He is extremely talented and has ranked among the top ten in the cultivation list in just half a year. It is really enviable." His words revealed his admiration for Xie Yan and compliments for Gao Bo.

Gao Bo waved his hand and said modestly: "Master Xuan, you are too kind. Although Xie Yan has some talent, he still needs to work hard to cultivate and must not be proud and complacent." He was secretly proud of himself, but remained humble on the surface.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tong laughed and said, "Mr. Gao is too modest. It is a foregone conclusion that Xie Yan will enter the inner courtyard. However, my disciple Wu Guangcheng is no ordinary person either. He also has a chance to compete for the top three places in this selection." His eyes flashed with confidence and expectation.

The two elders complimented each other, knowing full well what was going on, but pretending to be polite. In the relaxed and happy atmosphere, they laughed together, as if they had returned to the passionate days of their youth.

Gao Bo further asked: "Master Xuan, what do you think about the remaining three places?" Xuan Tong's expression became serious: "Although Junior Brother Chang Huan rarely appears in the palace, three of his four disciples are among the top ten in the cultivation list. This is undoubtedly an amazing achievement."

"Are you referring to Zhou Wenyuan, who tops the cultivation list, and Yan Yuexin and Weicheng, who rank second and fourth?" Gao Bo asked curiously.

"It's these three people." Xuan Tong nodded and continued, "Especially Zhou Wenyuan. It is said that his cultivation has reached the Void Breaking Realm. Even compared with some senior elders, he is not much inferior."

When talking about Gu Changhuan, Xuan Tong frowned. He always felt that this mysterious person was unfathomable and it was difficult for him to figure out his true intentions.

Gao Bo raised a mocking smile, "These three have been practicing hard under Zixiao Palace for three years, but failed for two consecutive years. Even if they are lucky enough to get a place in the inner court selection this time, what can they do? Their performance is just so-so." He paused and continued, "Back then, my disciple Xie Yan only took half a year to rank among the top ten in the cultivation rankings. In comparison, Zhou Wenyuan and the other three have practiced for two and a half years longer than Xie Yan."

Xuan Tong said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Junior Brother Chang Huan has always been unruly and indifferent to the affairs of the sect. I have always wondered why the head brother insisted on keeping him in the palace. If his disciples fail to be selected again, I think we need to write a joint letter to request the head brother to revoke his position as elder."

Duan Tianyang and Yan Yuexin stood aside and took all these words in. With Gao Bo and Xuan Tong's profound cultivation, the slightest sound around them was like the sound of the wind blowing the grass, and it could not escape their ears.

They knew very well that Yan Yuexin was not far away, and these words were obviously directed at her and were a deliberate provocation.

Yan Yuexin's expression suddenly turned cold, and her voice was filled with anger: "Junior Brother Duan, their words are really too much. They actually dared to be so disrespectful to Master!"

She walked up to the two men, stared at them, and continued, "As elders of Zixiao Palace, how can you speak so rudely when Master is not around?"

Gao Bo's expression froze instantly. He had never expected that Yan Yuexin would be so bold as to directly challenge his authority.

His face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds, and he shouted sternly: "How rude of you! As a disciple of the Martial Arts Academy, you dare to be so disrespectful to the elders. Is this the rule that Gu Changhuan taught you?"

Duan Tianyang walked steadily towards Yan Yuexin, gently pulled her to his side, and his tone revealed deep confidence: "Don't use your status to pressure us. I give you face and call you an elder. Don't give you face? I'll call you a dead old ghost."

"How dare you!" Gao Bo struck out at Duan Tianyang with a palm, and a cold sword energy seemed to pass through the air.

Duan Tianyang felt a powerful aura locking him tightly. The air around him seemed to become thick, as if he was trapped in a swamp. It was difficult to move and even breathing became difficult.

Duan Tianyang felt awe in his heart. Although he had reached the peak of the Yuanhua Realm, he still felt powerless in front of Gao Bo.

"Junior Brother Duan, be careful!" Yan Yuexin immediately reminded Duan Tianyang upon seeing this, and at the same time, white mist emanated from her body, releasing armor defense.

Duan Tianyang took a deep breath, and the true energy in his body surged like a mad torrent, and his armor defense condensed in an instant.

Gao Bo's strength is unfathomable. He has reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm and is only one step away from the Tiangang Realm.

Faced with such a level of cultivation, Duan Tianyang dared not slack off at all and had to go all out.

Gao Bo struck out with a palm strike, with a pressure as strong as a mountain. Duan Tianyang and Yan Yuexin attacked at the same time, and the four palms met with each other, making a loud noise. However, Gao Bo was as steady as a mountain, while Duan Tianyang and Yan Yuexin were shocked and took three steps back.

"You are pretty good. Try to take another blow from me!" Gao Bo shouted and raised his hand to attack the two again.

"Two senior brothers, what's going on?" A calm voice sounded from behind Gao Bo.

A young man walked towards them with steady steps, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

Although people's feet did not move, they seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, leaving two deep scratches on the ground, and their faces also revealed deep fear.

Gao Bo stared at the approaching young man with wide eyes, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "Gu... Junior Brother Gu..."

Duan Tianyang and Yan Yuexin shouted excitedly: "Master!"

Gu Changhuan nodded to them, then turned to Gao Bo and said, "Xiao Gao, are you dissatisfied with my two disciples?"

This scene is really hilarious. A young man who 'looks' like he is in his twenties calls an elderly man in his sixties "Xiao Gao". The contrast is really hilarious.
