You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

Inside the sect affairs hall, a disciple in charge shouted.

"Hurry, hurry, don't just stand there! Stop what you're doing and take care of the Holy Son's matter first!"

The disciple had an alarmingly loud voice and seemed extremely anxious.

"If we execute the Holy Son's orders well, it will be a great opportunity to shine."

"Hey you, hurry up and spread the word! Turn on all the communication talismans!"

In the blink of an eye, the news spread throughout the vast immortal sect.

......

Lin Chen was lying slumped on the stone bed, clutching the ring tightly in his hand, his eyes vacant.

His master's words were like a bucket of ice water, chilling him to the bone.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the cave.

"By order of the Holy Son, the Grand Sect Competition begins today! All disciples of our sect, regardless of background or cultivation level, are welcome to register!"

"The top ten will be richly rewarded, with the possibility of becoming disciples of an elder, or even receiving personal guidance from the Holy Son!"

Lin Chen sat up abruptly, his previously lifeless eyes immediately lighting up.

"A sect competition? No regard for background or cultivation level?"

Lin Chen muttered these words to himself.

His breathing became rapid, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably from excitement.

His facial expression turned ferocious.

It was a pent-up hatred that had finally found an outlet.

"An opportunity! This is my opportunity! Heaven hasn't abandoned me after all! What does it mean to turn adversity into opportunity? This is it! Hahahaha!"

"These days, I've lived like a dog in the sect, suffering endless humiliation! Gu Changyuan looks down on me, and even the gatekeepers dare to spit on me!"

"Now that's great! The sect competition is here! As long as I can win on the stage, I can trample those arrogant people under my feet and wipe away my shame!"

Lin Chen struggled to get out of bed, imagining himself defeating his opponent in one move on the ring, followed by the entire audience being shocked and everyone chanting his name.

Then, a look of astonishment and fear appeared on Gu Changyuan's originally indifferent face.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Gu Changyuan, you never expected this, did you? This grand competition you organized just to watch a show will ultimately become my stage!"

"I'll show you what it means to never underestimate a young person's potential!"

Lin Chen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fierce fire. He glanced down at the ring on his hand, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Although his master said he wouldn't help him avenge his master, he believed that once he stepped into the ring and faced a life-or-death situation, his master would definitely not stand idly by.

After all, they're in the same boat now.

"Just you wait, this time, I'm going to take back everything I've lost!"

……

Deep within the sect, in a secluded pavilion.

This is where the elders usually gather, and it's also their current recuperation center.

The elders, who were usually so imposing, looked dejected and slumped over.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"

A violent cough broke the silence.

The Fifth Elder lay half-reclined on a soft couch, his face ashen.

The other elders weren't much better off.

The Third Elder's arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and his face was pale.

The Fourth Elder sat cross-legged in the corner, practicing his internal energy to heal his injuries, but his brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that the injuries within his body were still causing trouble.

The spiritual energy that Gu Changyuan left in his body was extremely domineering and has not been completely neutralized yet.

A commotion arose outside, and one could vaguely hear voices issuing orders from the sect's grand competition's holy son.

The Second Elder, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His brows furrowed in confusion as he turned to look at the First Elder, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Big brother, did you hear that? What's Gu Changyuan up to now?"

"Why the sudden announcement of a sect competition? Is it targeting us again?"

The Second Elder's voice carried a hint of confusion, as well as a deep sense of apprehension.

Upon hearing the name Gu Changyuan...

The Fifth Elder was so startled that he forgot to cough, his eyes filled with terror.

In their eyes, Gu Changyuan is now a madman.

The elder sat there, holding two iron balls in his hands, spinning them rapidly. Hearing the commotion outside, his old face showed an unpredictable expression as he stopped what he was doing, his gaze turning gloomy.

"The sect competition came too suddenly, without any warning. Our Holy Son isn't the kind of person who has nothing better to do than watch the excitement."

"He always has a purpose in everything he does. I'm afraid this kid is planning something big again."

Upon hearing the elder's words, the expressions of the other elders in the room instantly changed.

A look of anxiety appeared on his face.

Even panic.

They were genuinely afraid.

They were afraid that Gu Changyuan would cause some more trouble, which would eventually fall on their heads again.

"Big brother, what do we do now?"

The Third Elder clutched his arm, his voice trembling.

"This kid is completely out of control now. He even dares to hit us. What else wouldn't he do?"

"What if he's trying to use the competition as an excuse to completely purge us old bones?"

"Or perhaps they want to completely seize power within the sect and sideline us?"

After saying this, everyone exchanged glances.

They both saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

"No!"

The elder slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"This matter is definitely not that simple. We can't just sit here and wait to die, letting him continue to act recklessly."

"If we let him cause trouble like this, our Feathered Immortal Sect will eventually become Gu Changyuan's one-man show!"

"By then, we old folks might not even have a place to stand!"

The elders nodded in agreement.

"Big brother is right!"

"Someone has to teach him a lesson!"

"But we can't beat him," the Fifth Elder weakly interjected, uttering the most painful truth.

The elder took a deep breath, a resolute glint flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"We can't win."

"However, there are people in the sect who can handle him!"

The Grand Elder turned around, his gaze fixed on the direction of the sect's forbidden area, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"This is a huge problem; we can't handle it."

"We absolutely must persuade the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion!"

"Only the Supreme Elder can keep that madman Gu Changyuan in check!"

"Only the Supreme Elder can uphold justice for us!"

The other elders' eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

Yup!

Supreme Elder!

That is the pillar of the sect, a living fossil, with unfathomable strength.

No matter how extraordinary Gu Changyuan is, he is still a grandson in front of the Supreme Elder.

As long as the Supreme Elder is willing to step in, how could Gu Changyuan possibly cause any trouble?

"Walk!"

"Let's go now!"

"Even if we have to crawl, we'll crawl to the forbidden area!"

"We must bring out the Supreme Elder and let him see just how much trouble this lawless Holy Son has caused the sect!"
