Chapter 120: Daliang City, Master He Fei

  Xu Yang looked at the overall map of the mountain peaks on the copper wall.

  "Each small black triangle on the copper wall represents a mountain peak. The text next to each mountain is an explanation of that particular peak," explained Leting Yun.

  Xu Yang took a closer look and found that next to each mountain peak, there were words such as "Upper Upper", "Upper Middle", "Upper Lower" written. He asked: "What do these words mean?"

  Haiyue said, "This is the nine-grade ranking. Based on the density of the mysterious energy, the 36 peaks are divided into nine grades. The mountain peak with the most abundant mysterious energy is the top grade, and the one with the worst mysterious energy is naturally the lowest grade."

  "Wow, the twenty-four outer peaks are basically all middle or lower grade, not even one 'upper' grade, let alone top grade!" Yu XuanYu shouted, "I want to live in the inner peak!"

  Li Wang said: "The inner ring has twelve peaks, all of which are excellent and top-notch mountains, with even three being top-of-the-top."

  Xu Yang noticed that the three peaks of the highest grade all had their own names, called Chiyun Peak, Lianyun Peak, and Hengyun Peak.

  "Xiao Zheng, register us, we're going to live on Chuyun Peak!" Hai Yue called out to a disciple in charge of registration.

  That disciple hurried over with a look of trepidation and said: "Hai Zong, I'm really sorry to say that the Insert Cloud Peak has already been occupied by someone."

  "Oh? What about Heng Yunfeng and Lian Yunfeng?" Haiyue asked.

  Zheng surname student said: "Report to Hai Zong, not only these three top-grade mountain peaks, even the inner circle of twelve peaks, all have people entering and living! You see, whether it's okay to make do with the outer twenty-four peaks?"

  Hai Yue's thick eyebrows shot up, and his powerful aura burst forth as he shouted: "How did you all arrive so early? Little Zheng, did you accept bribes from others and not give me any face?"

  "Zheng, with all due respect, I wouldn't dare deceive you! The twelve inner peak residents are a fierce bunch, and these past few days, they've been fighting tooth and nail for the right to reside there. Each of their leaders is a master, and I wouldn't dare provoke any of them!"

  "What's the logic?! I'll go find the head of the institution." Hai Yue was a well-known master of the Xuan Sect, and in the Donglai City's Haiyun Branch, he was considered a top figure. Now his team couldn't even get accommodation on the Twelve Inner Peaks, how could he not be angry?

  A cough sounded, and an old voice said: "Haizi, stop searching, I'm here."

  Although this voice is old, there is a faint sense of vitality in its dryness, making it impossible to tell the age of the speaker.

  Hai Yue suddenly became honest and hung his head, saying: "I welcome the master of the courtyard."

  Xu Yang and the others were one by one solemn and concentrated, they had already learned from their conversation along the way that the master of this Haiyun Branch was a peak expert of Xuan Jun, with Tian Bang combat power, but he didn't bother to take action, so he wasn't included in the Tian Bang.

  The sound of a crutch thudded and echoed, and an old man in gray clothes hobbled around a huge pillar and came to the front of the crowd in the reception hall.

  "Hai Zi, you're an old hand in the branch now, how can you not know the rules?" The gray-robed elder, who was also the head of the branch, said slowly and deliberately, then tapped his staff on the ground and continued walking towards the door.

  Xu Yang couldn't help but secretly laugh, Hai Yue, a master of the mysterious sect, was an eight-foot-tall giant with a full beard, yet he was being scolded and educated like a child by a shriveled old man who wasn't even six feet tall.

  "What is a rectangle?" Yu Xuan asked, "Why didn't the master explain clearly before leaving."

  Hai Yue said: "The rules are simple, that is, everyone relies on their own strength to occupy the mountain peak! However, the team leader's special envoy, Zong Shi, cannot violate the rules and interfere."

  "In other words, it's up to you three," Le Tingyun smiled slightly, "Go for it, big girls and boys, the kind of mountain peak teachers can live on depends entirely on your abilities."

  "If you don't have the strength, then you can only live in the outer twenty-four peaks, where the conflicts are smaller." Haiyue said.

  Li Wang and Yu XuanYu exchanged a glance, and then they both looked at Xu Yang again.

  "Which three superior mountains are inhabited by whom?" asked Li Wang.

  Haiyue turned to a student with the surname Zheng and said, "You speak."

  "Zheng surname disciple almost cried out, trembling with fear said: 'The resident of Chuyun Peak is from Guangyao City; the resident of Lianyun Peak is from Daliang City; the resident of Hengyun Peak is from Juyuancheng......'"

  Hai Yue analyzed, "These three city pools are all large-scale city pools. Every time the selection is made, a batch of powerful talents will emerge, and two-thirds of the quota will be occupied by these three city pools. It seems that this session, the three city pools are not weak either."

  As they spoke, Haiyue shook his head and let out a sigh.

  "Jù Yuán Chéng, led by Peng Yào Zǔ, has already reached the initial stage of Xuan Shi's power," said Yuè Xiān Yǔ, "and is also a well-known figure on the Qián Lóng Bǎng, extremely powerful."

  Zheng surname student said: "This Peng Yaozu is indeed very powerful, he came two days ago, when the inner circle twelve peaks were not yet fully occupied. But he didn't choose to live in the middle or upper-middle inner peak, instead, he directly drove away the occupant of Hengyun Peak."

  Yu Xuan Yu asked a silly question: "The original occupant of Heng Yunfeng, is he so obedient?"

  "Both sides broke out in a fierce battle! But in the end, it was still Giant Source City that emerged victorious."

  Hai Yue shook his head and said, "I'm familiar with Peng Yaozu. He already had the strength to pass in the previous Haiyun preliminary round. After hiding for three years, his strength is even better than before. I think the other two peaks' residents won't be easy to deal with either. Let's choose another mountain peak."

  At this time, a piercing voice came: "Haha, Haiyue, you are indeed self-aware."

  A tall and thin man wearing a sable coat walked towards him, with a cold smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. The sarcastic words just now were spoken by him.

  "He Fei, you drew a good lot and dare to be so arrogant?" Hai Yue said angrily, "Have you forgotten the severe beating last time?"

  Hai Yue immediately said in a low voice to the crowd: "This man's name is He Fei, also a Xuan Zong. He's narrow-minded and petty. This time during the preliminary selection, he drew Da Liang City. Da Liang City is one of the top ten cities in Dong Lai, this kid really has good luck. However, his strength isn't up to par, last time I caught him off guard and beat him up badly, so he doesn't dare mess with me."

  He Fei's face turned pale with rage as he was publicly humiliated, and he said: "Hai Yue, you boor! This time you're doomed to be sent to Lin Yuan City! How about it? You can only go to the outer twelve peaks now! Haha, relying on these few useless people you brought along, I doubt you'll even be able to get a mid-grade mountain peak!"

  He Fei saw Hai Yue's iron-green face, and was extremely pleased in his heart. He walked over with a proud and arrogant attitude: "Make way, make way, I still want to go to Lian Yun Peak's pavilion to drink tea."
