Chapter 1600 - Rude Not To Repay The Courtesy
Liu Wuxie needed to strike that delicate balance—enough brilliance for the upper echelons to notice him, but not so much that he looked monstrously abnormal.
After forcing the outer disciple back, Liu Wuxie lunged forward and executed a movement technique.
"Seven Divine Profound Steps!" The Heaven Gaze Realm cultivators who remained seated in the main hall watched with a flicker of confusion in their eyes.
The Seven Divine Profound Steps was a high-grade martial technique of the Immortal Slaughter Palace, and outer disciples had no right to touch it. Only inner disciples were qualified to learn it, so it made no sense for Meng An, a miscellaneous disciple, to possess it.
"Meng Hong must've taught it to him," someone concluded.
As an elder of the inner sect, Meng Hong naturally held enough status to know the Seven Divine Profound Steps. Teaching it privately to his nephew violated the sect's rules, yet the elders turned a blind eye and let it pass.
Under normal circumstances, they would have punished it. But nothing about these circumstances was normal, as the Immortal Slaughter Palace desperately needed talent. If anything, they prayed a few monstrous prodigies would emerge from this batch, because Yu Wentai's detonation of the martial souls had smashed the Immortal Slaughter Palace's foundation.
The three disciples who had ganged up on Liu Wuxie stared at him, disbelief written across their faces. "What terrifying speed! Is he really a miscellaneous disciple?"
They clearly held higher cultivation than Liu Wuxie, yet they couldn't catch him, no matter how hard they pushed.
After Liu Wuxie shook off the three outer disciples, he sped up. The Seven Divine Profound Steps truly revealed the foundation of the Immortal Slaughter Palace, and he threaded his way through the wilderness like a fluttering butterfly.
"Something isn't right!" Liu Wuxie slowed down abruptly. A crawling unease pricked along his spine as he sensed danger waiting after this stretch of barren wasteland, right before the Myriad Profound Pagoda.
A violent buzz rippled through space, and the grass churned as puppets rose into view.
