Chapter 297 Treasure Stealer
"Yun Xiao... Senior Brother Yun Xiao?!"
When the crowd saw the youth in coarse clothing walking over with ease, they were all stunned, as Yun Xiao had left an extremely deep impression on many during the last Outer Sect competition.
Killing Guan Tong, who was third on the Mortal List, defeating Feng Hang, who was first on the Mortal List, and finally leaving Shen Xiao, who was no less formidable than Feng Hang, completely drained of his Meridian Qi—these achievements were unimaginable even in the wildest dreams of previous Outer Disciples.
It should be known that Yun Xiao only joined the Jade Pot Sect as an Outer Disciple this year. Among the newcomers, accomplishing any one of those feats would have been enough to fill them with pride.
Yet, in the past decade or so, only Mo Qing, the leading figure of the young generation within the Inner Sect, had done so. Yun Xiao could be considered the second, and whether there would be others to follow was still a matter of debate.
Furthermore, the fact that Yun Xiao had been taken as a Direct Disciple by the Sect Leader of the Jade Pot Sect, who had never before accepted disciples, made his reputation within the Outer Sect akin to an untouchable legend.
It was not until this moment, seeing Ling Wan and Yun Xiao, that those few Outer Disciples suddenly remembered that these two new Inner Sect "Senior Brothers" seemed to have some acquaintance with Tan Yun and the others.
No matter how much younger Yun Xiao and Ling Wan were than themselves, as long as they had been promoted to the Inner Sect, they had to address them as Senior Brothers. This was determined by strength, not by age.
Thinking back to how Yun Xiao had miserably defeated Feng Hang and Shen Xiao during the Outer Sect competition, the Outer Disciples who had just been oppressing Tan Yun felt a chill run down their spines, cursing their bad luck for crossing paths with such a nemesis today.
Even though lethal fights were prohibited within this Outer Sect boundary, today’s incident was initiated by them. They believed that if Yun Xiao decided to teach them a lesson, probably no one would dare speak out against it, after all, he was the disciple of the Sect Leader.
