Chapter 1250: Chapter 1249: Shockwaves in the Flame Sect

"Hmm."

Next, the two arrived at a grand hall of the Flame Sect, where outside stood a massive stone tablet inscribed with the disciple strength rankings and below were the names of ten people.

Around this grand hall were many people, as this hall was called the Promotion Hall. Those who wanted to advance in rank would come here since the benefits vary for disciples of different levels.

"Come on! Light up the stone tablet." Mu Chen said as he immediately took out a token and pressed it against the stone tablet. The Beautiful Immortal Spirit did the same, lighting up the stone tablet.

"Someone has lit up the stone tablet; someone wants to challenge the True Disciples." Instantly, the entire Flame Sect was shaken, with everyone descending upon the Promotion Hall to see who was challenging the True Disciples.

The Flame Sect had ten True Disciples, a hundred Core Disciples, a thousand Inner Sect disciples, and tens of thousands in the Outer Sect. Instantly, thousands of disciples gathered, showing how much attention a True Disciple challenge attracted.

"Isn’t that Long Yan and Wu Feng? Weren’t they Core Disciples? Do they now have True Disciple strength?" Many who saw Mu Chen and his companion whispered.

"I don’t know, maybe they got some opportunity."

"That’s not right, haven’t those two never spoken to each other? Now they seem so close."

The onlookers discussed earnestly for a while.

"Come on, it’s just a challenge to the True Disciples, no need to exaggerate." Mu Chen said, speechless.

"Who challenges the True Disciples?" At this moment, an elder appeared instantly in the Promotion Hall, with an eerie aura. Mu Chen, seeing this elder, had his pupils shrink, knowing that this person was at least at the Ancestor Emperor Early Stage realm.

"How is this person an Ancestor Emperor? Could it be that the Flame Sect is hiding some strong figures?" Mu Chen secretly wondered.

However, the crowd called out, "Greetings to the Great Elder."

"No need for formalities. Are you two the challengers?" The Great Elder looked at Mu Chen and his companion. But when examining them, his expression changed slightly, sensing something different about them, though he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

"Yes, Great Elder, it’s us." Mu Chen nodded and said earnestly.

"Alright, do your best."

"Here we go." Without hesitation, Mu Chen gathered his strength, invoking the Thunder Boundary Power, and because this person just happened to also have Thunder Boundary Power, after condensing it, he directly smashed it onto the stone tablet. In an instant, Mu Chen’s name reached the peak, his strength at the Ancestor Emperor Middle Stage, bursting forth this power.

"My God, Ancestor General Realm, unleashing Ancestor Emperor strength, that’s incredibly strong!" Many were shocked, and Mu Chen’s identity, Long Yan, shook the entire Flame Sect.

"The Thunder Boundary Power is terrifying, quite remarkable!" The Great Elder said earnestly, offering praise for the first time.

"Is Long Yan strong? I haven’t even acted yet!" The Beautiful Immortal Spirit said, immediately gathering her strength, directing destructive force to the stone tablet. Next, Wu Feng’s name shot to the top, his strength at the Ancestor Emperor Middle Stage Peak, stronger than Mu Chen.

"This girl." Mu Chen said speechlessly, feeling that being first or second wasn’t much different, questioning why there was a need to compete.

However, others were incredibly shocked, unable to believe it.

"What is going on with these two, surpassing so many? Did they gain some fortuitous encounter?" The Great Elder muttered, speaking quietly, his gaze growing colder.

Mu Chen, being who he was, could detect any slight hostility or aura. Of course, he noticed the Great Elder’s aura change, along with the changes in others’ auras, very displeased with them. After all, no one wanted to be so greatly surpassed by others.

"Can it be possible to break first and second and surpass so many, would you like to be my disciple?" At this time, a dozen elders appeared, hastening to Mu Chen and the Beautiful Immortal Spirit, saying earnestly.

"Sorry, esteemed elders, our strength is not limited to this extent, and we don’t need you as masters." Mu Chen and the Beautiful Immortal Spirit both said.

"Little ones, having strength is good, but this is a sect, your arrogance is excessive." Many expressed their displeasure.

"This is just who I am, I say what I think. If the elders are displeased, there’s nothing I can do about it." Mu Chen said disdainfully.

"Fine, fine, the Flame Sect now has two arrogant people, I hope you don’t become too arrogant." The elders said, leaving immediately.

"Amazing, daring to offend even the elders, speaking so arrogantly, courting disaster." Many disciples expressed their disdain.

"Great Elder, can we acquire the identity of True Disciples now?" Mu Chen asked.

"Of course, but you two need to come with me." The Great Elder said earnestly.

"Okay." Mu Chen nodded, motioning for the Beautiful Immortal Spirit to follow quickly.

Next, Mu Chen and his companion followed the Great Elder into the hall. Upon arriving, Mu Chen and the Beautiful Immortal Spirit both changed expressions, sensing something unusual, but the Heavenly Demon hadn’t signaled any danger, so Mu Chen wasn’t overly concerned.

"Master, there is a mysterious Ancestor Emperor Weapon here, seemingly capable of sealing this place. It appears this elder wants to control you."

"Are there any strong figures nearby?" Mu Chen’s expression changed as he asked.

"None."

"If I work with the Beautiful Immortal Spirit, can we defeat him?"

"Absolutely, but master, you must act swiftly, otherwise if he sends notification to other strong figures, it’ll be troublesome."

"Notification, by the time they arrive, I’ll already be the Great Elder, and if they want to control me, they better be ready to be killed." Mu Chen murmured to himself.

"Master, rest assured, with me, there will be no problem."

"Alright."

Following that, after the three reached the depths of the palace, the elder sneered maliciously, "Two ants, do you truly think acquiring a little opportunity makes you this arrogant?"

After the elder spoke, a surge of energy instantly shrouded the area, controlling the space.

"You’ve finally revealed your fangs, haven’t you?" Mu Chen said disdainfully.

"It seems you knew I would act. Who are you two? Are you not your true selves?" The elder’s expression changed drastically, realizing something, and immediately spoke.

"Do you think I didn’t know you intended to control me? Am I that foolish?" As Mu Chen spoke, strange black energy surged out, crossing space, while the Beautiful Immortal Spirit blinked out of sight, waking the slumbering High Tier Immortal Stone Beast whose power then enveloped Mu Chen.

"Do you intend to kill me?" The elder’s expression changed drastically, trying to undo something immediately.

"It’s too late now." With that, Mu Chen, in an instant, appeared before the elder, black energy poured out, enveloping the surroundings, while the Beautiful Immortal Spirit acted swiftly, focusing power to grab the elder.

"No!" The elder was horrified, never expecting the two to be so powerful, hastily trying to dodge.
