Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Chapter 13

“May I know why you two seniors are looking for my senior brother?” Tang Chi asked nervously.

Meanwhile, Li Yu was awoken by the shouts of the two elders, and he walked out of his room while rubbing his drowsy eyes.

“Who’s looking for me?” Li Yu asked while yawning.

“You are Li Yu? Greetings, I am Hu Dongshan, an elder of the Jade Pure Dao Sect. I have come especially today…”

“Hey, hey, first come first serve! I arrived first, so I should be the one introducing myself!” Elder Jia grabbed Elder Hu and exclaimed indignantly.

“What do you mean you came first? I clearly arrived first!” Elder Hu said indignantly.

“Are you kidding me? I’m a little bit faster than you, okay?”

“You’re still so unreasonable, old man!”

“Who’s being unreasonable? It was obviously our Great Sky Dao Sect that found Li Yu first. You shamelessly followed me here!” Elder Jia roared.

“Haha, you sure know how to joke. Everyone from my Jade Pure Dao Sect arrived in Luo Water Town yesterday. You guys were clearly the ones who followed us here!” Elder Hu was not unconvinced as he raised his voice.

“Alright, since you’re so unreasonable, let’s do it as usual. We’ll compete in martial arts, and whoever wins will count as the first to arrive!”

“So be it, you thought I’ll be afraid?”

Li Yu was dumbfounded as he looked at the two old men arguing. “What are they fighting about?”

“I don’t know! I don’t understand either!” Tang Chi was also dumbfounded.

The two white-haired elders—probably have a combined age of several hundred years—were about to fight it out.

Li Yu hurriedly rushed forward and shouted, “Hey, hey, uncles, ah wait, seniors. Would you just calm down? If you really want to fight, can you please go elsewhere? I just repaired my temple yesterday!”

It was obvious that these two people’s cultivation levels were not low. They could flatten the entire temple with one move if they really fought here.

“Alright, let’s go out and compete. Let’s not injure these two kids here!”

“Hmph, I think you’re afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of him!”

“Cut the crap. We’ll see who’s going to lose face later!” Elder Hu and Elder Jia were about to fly out of the Daoist temple and find a deserted place.

However, right at this moment, the disciples of the Jade Pure Dao Sect and the Great Sky Dao Sect flew over.

There were more than thirty disciples from the two sects. They were dashing young people as they stood on flying swords and flying magic treasures. Their clean Daoist robes fluttered in the wind, giving them the aura of an immortal sect.

“Elder!”

“Elder!” The disciples of the two sects hurriedly stepped forward and pulled their elders back.

A sensible female disciple stepped forward and advised, “Elder, since both our sects are here, we should let Li Yu decide for himself. After all, our Jade Pure Dao Sect is, no doubt, the number one sect in the Grand Xia Dynasty. Why would we be afraid of losing to the Great Sky Dao Sect?”

“That’s right, Elder, don’t stoop to their level!” Another older disciple persuaded him.

Hu Dongshan grunted. However, he calmed down as he understood that his disciples had a point.

On the other hand, Elder Jia calmed down after his disciple consoled him. After all, the matter at hand was more important. There was plenty of time in the future for him to teach Hu Dongshan a lesson.

“Senior Brother, are they here because of that demon child?” Tang Chi could only think of that demon child when he saw the people from the two sects coming here together.

Are they here to capture that demon child?

“No, stay at the side and keep quiet!”

Li Yu walked forward as the two elders brought the disciples back to the temple.

He knew that these people were probably here because of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

Everyone landed in the courtyard, and the gazes of the disciples of the two sects converged on Li Yu.

They were also very curious about what sort of person ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

Li Yu was standing tall. Although he had just woken up and his hair was slightly messy, it was still unable to conceal his handsome and distinguished appearance.

Coupled with the fact that he was only 17 years old now, even though he seemed slightly immature, Li Yu gave others the feeling that he was full of vigor.

Dressed in a simple Daoist robe, he gave off an extraordinary aura. From his looks and temperament, he was indeed a dragon among men.

Some female disciples looked at Li Yu with shining eyes.

Although there was no lack of handsome men in their sect, people would get tired of looking at them every day. Getting tired of the old and fascinated by a new person was part of human nature.

Otherwise, how could one wish for time to stop at the first meeting?

…

Seeing that the two elders had stopped fighting, Li Yu flew back calmly.

Li Yu cupped his hands. Whoever came were guests, and he had to treat them respectfully.

“Li Yu, your potential isn’t bad. Are you willing to join my Jade Pure Dao Sect?” Elder Hu was the first to speak.

“My Great Sky Dao Sect’s master wishes to take you in as a personal disciple!” Elder Jia immediately said.

“Our sect master wishes to do the same!” Elder Hu glared at Elder Jia and hurriedly said.

I knew it!

Li Yu guessed their objective was probably to rope him in.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s face was grim as he stared coldly at Li Yu.

Although he secretly hoped that Li Yu would not join the Jade Pure Dao Sect and chose to join the Great Sky Dao Sect, he knew very well that Li Yu must be ecstatic.

The two sects were here to snatch him, and the two sect masters wanted to take him in as their personal disciple.

What kind of honor was that?

It was a dream come true for many.

He would probably wake up from his dreams laughing about this.

Moreover, the overall strength and resources of the Jade Pure Dao Sect were slightly superior to the Great Sky Dao Sect.

Therefore, there was a high chance that he would choose the Jade Pure Dao Sect.

He was not the only one feeling that way, as the disciples from both sects were also envious of Li Yu.

They hoped they could replace Li Yu, starting out as the sect master’s personal disciple at the very least.

His starting point was the destination they could never reach.

Comparisons are indeed odious!

As everyone thought that Li Yu would be overjoyed, he looked as calm as usual without any hint of surprise. He cupped his hands to the two elders and said calmly, “Thank you, seniors, for your appreciation and your Sect Master’s great kindness. Still, I will not leave my sect!”

Li Yu’s words stunned everyone.

Elder Hu and Elder Jia exchanged a rare look and confirmed that they did not mishear it.

The surrounding disciples widened their eyes in shock.

Did I hear that correctly? Did he reject the offer? He really refused!

Is there something wrong with his head?

After a brief moment of shock, joy surfaced in Lin Chen’s eyes.

This is madness. He actually rejected it!

“My friend Li Yu, you are a rare genius. It’s a pity for you to stay in this small sect. If you join our Jade Pure Dao Sect, you can obtain more cultivation resources and have a broader future.

“Furthermore, you are at the top of the rankings and obtained the best rewards of the Heavenly Dao Rankings. So you are in a precarious situation.

“The fiend sects and people with ulterior motives might threaten your safety! If you enter my Jade Pure Dao Sect, we can protect you before you fully develop yourself!” Elder Hu said earnestly.

What he said was true and came from the bottom of his heart. However, he did not know that Li Yu did not need anyone to protect him.

“That’s right. The fiend sects have been very restless recently. Incidents of killings and kidnappings of our disciples have been recurring.

“Moreover, the world is now filled with demons and devils. With the birth of the demon child, the world will probably be in chaos again. Everyone will be plunged into misery and suffering. Why don’t you join our Great Sky Dao Sect before the calamity descends? It’ll at least provide you with more assurance of survival!” Elder Jia also tried his best to persuade Li Yu.
