Chapter 251: Two hundred fifty-one Gather at the Inner Sect Task Hall
Due to Yun Xiao circulating the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique last night, he had attacked the Ancestor Vein above his right leg overnight, resulting in that leg being sore and numb, making his walk extremely unnatural.
This was an unexpected development for Yun Xiao, especially when those peculiar gazes kept casting towards him; he couldn’t help but quicken his pace, which only made the unnatural movement of his legs even more apparent.
Yun Xiao did know the general direction to the Task Hall of the Inner Sect, and today, the path seemed quite bustling with people. He spotted some vaguely familiar figures, who should be Inner Sect Disciples from the Jade Pot Cave that he had seen before.
Back when he was in the Outer Sect, Yun Xiao was informed by Tan Yun that the Task Hall of the Jade Pot Sect was managed by the Poison Vein; the Third Elder of the Poison Vein faction, so he had always been on guard. Those Poison Vein Masters were indeed not to be trifled with.
After about half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a large hall appeared in front of Yun Xiao. He couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but he felt that the hall was exuding a faint green aura.
Yun Xiao paid no mind to the aura of the Inner Sect Task Hall, and with his feet moving unnaturally, he stepped into the hall. As he entered, many figures already inside turned their gazes towards him at once.
The specific circumstances of this Outer Sect competition had probably spread throughout the entire Inner Sect after several days, and so in this period, the name Yun Xiao had become well-known among the Inner Sect.
Of course, it was not because Yun Xiao was the champion of the Outer Sect competition, nor because of his just-reached Early Stage Meridian Rushing Realm cultivation, but because this newbie who had just been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple had surprisingly been accepted as the Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple.
Such a major event, in the eyes of the Jade Pot Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples and even the Sect Elders, felt utterly inconceivable. This young man had broken a potential rule that had existed since the founding of the Jade Pot Sect.
Without paying too much attention to these peculiar gazes, as soon as he entered the hall, Yun Xiao focused his eyes on the northern wall; that was where the mission wall for posting tasks was located.
