Chapter 117 - Chapter 117

Qi cultivation has reached the sixth level of forging gang, surpassing one's own fifth level of forging gang. An extremely rare existence. Cheng Li narrowed his eyes. Secretly shocked in his heart. He had been handling registration affairs for more than ten years and had never encountered someone whose qi cultivation exceeded their own cultivation. "This kid will surely achieve great things in the future and his potential is limitless." Thinking of this, Cheng Li's attitude changed. A smile hung on his face. He walked up to Zhou Peng and said, "Brother, your qi cultivation is truly astonishing." Zhou Peng politely smiled. But in his heart, he thought, "Smiling so sinisterly. There must be no good thing." Zhou Peng had a way of observing people's expressions. He had seen Cheng Li's cunning look as soon as he entered. The more Cheng Li smiled, the more cautious Zhou Peng became. "Do you know the Heaven Gate? Heaven, earth, profound, and yellow. The Heaven Gate is the place where one can become an inner sect disciple the fastest. Do you know why Yu Sheng was selected into the Heaven Gate just now?" Cheng Li put his hands behind his back. Looked at Zhou Peng and took a step forward. Whispered softly in Zhou Peng's ear. Before Zhou Peng could speak, Cheng Li walked half a circle around Zhou Peng. Laughed and said, "Because he is willing to join the Qingtian Faction." "Qingtian Faction?!" Zhou Peng muttered. Was stunned. Immediately thought of the remnants of the Yang family, Yang Han and Nangong Yan. They seemed to be people from the Qingtian Faction. And Nangong Yan seemed to be some young palace master. Last time in the Kunlun Mountains, Lin Yan and a few others briefly described how Yang Han was always against him. When he heard Cheng Li say the three words "Qingtian Faction", Zhou Peng immediately thought of Yang Han. Now thinking about it carefully, Zhou Peng did indeed ignore Yang Han that day. In Tianya City, not only Yang Han but also Yang Lin didn't show up. "Yang Han must have returned to the Thousand Machines Sect. If he joins the Qingtian Faction, I might be killed by him." As soon as Zhou Peng thought of this, he immediately made a decision and said, "Elder's kindness. Zhou Peng is extremely grateful. As for joining a faction, I haven't thought about it yet. Allow me to consider for a few more days." "Consider for a few days?" Cheng Li's expression slightly changed. Let out a cold snort. Walked back to his seat. Looked at Zhou Peng with disdain and said, "Do you think your qi cultivation at the sixth level of forging gang is very remarkable? There are countless disciples like you in the Thousand Machines Sect. Don't be conceited. In my eyes, you are nothing!" Zhou Peng respectfully took half a step back. Bowed his body and said, "I know that my strength is low. That's why I want to practice hard and not be distracted by other things." His tone was sincere and full of respect. It was extremely respectful to Cheng Li. Zhou Peng was speaking like this to someone for the first time. He also knew that it was better to offend fewer people like Cheng Li. Just coming to the Thousand Machines Sect. Without any power. Everything must be careful. Making a wrong step might cause unnecessary trouble. Since Yang Han's power in the Qingtian Faction was stable. If he joined again, he would definitely not be able to defeat him. It was better to hide aside. Upgrade quietly and break through. When he broke through to the void-entering realm and stepped into an inner sect disciple with one step, he would naturally be valued. At that time, if Yang Han knew that he had come to the Thousand Machines Sect, he wouldn't dare to act blatantly against him. If it was a covert move, Zhou Peng believed that he was much more clever than Yang Han. So he wasn't afraid. Zhou Peng's humble tone didn't make Cheng Li put away the disdain on his face. On the contrary, it added a bit more anger. Frowning, he said coldly, "Do you know the consequences of refusing me?" In the selection of outer sect disciples, Cheng Li undoubtedly had the power of life and death. Erasing the qualification of some disciples was easy for him. He had a look of having Zhou Peng in his control. He didn't believe that Zhou Peng wouldn't. Offending him had no benefits. "Elder, you are magnanimous. Allow me to go back and think about it. After thinking it through, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Zhou Peng bowed his head extremely respectfully. His tone was still humble. As humble as a servant. But in his heart, anger was secretly building up. After retreating again and again. After reaching the limit, there would be a counterattack. Cheng Li was just a watchdog. He was nothing in the Thousand Machines Sect. But if Zhou Peng refused, it would undoubtedly directly offend the Qingtian Faction. You should know that the power of the Qingtian Faction in the Thousand Machines Sect was very strong. It was rumored that more than half of the top hundred disciples had joined the Qingtian Faction. And Liu Shuanghan, who led the Qingtian Faction, had unfathomable cultivation and strength. Cheng Li was pressing hard and insulting. Zhou Peng was very unhappy. So what if it was the Qingtian Faction? Don't provoke me. Otherwise, no matter if it's the Qingtian Faction or some other faction, I will turn you all into the Dead Dog Faction. A hint of anger slightly emanated. Cheng Li's expression darkened. Let out a cold laugh. "Unaware of the times." Just when he was about to tear up the records he had just made, Meng Fanyi walked in with a smile and shouted, "Elder Cheng..." Cheng Li was stunned. His expression changed. He lowered his stance and greeted him. "Brother Meng. Long time no see." Secretly thinking in his heart, "Why is he back? Isn't he still waiting at Jingxinzhai?" Meng Fanyi glanced at Zhou Peng lightly. Signaling with his eyes for him to rest assured. Just now outside the door, he had been paying attention. Yu Sheng was only at the third level of forging gang. He had no qualification to enter the Heaven Gate at all. There must be something fishy. The conversation inside the room was clearly heard by him outside. At that time, his heart was greatly shocked. In ten years, he didn't expect the Qingtian Faction to develop so quickly. Even infiltrating the recruitment of outer sect disciples. "It seems that Liu Shuanghan's ambition is not small." Meng Fanyi thought to himself. Then he also walked in. Cheng Li naturally knew Meng Fanyi. Back then, he was in the top fifty of the top hundred disciples. His reputation was resounding. How could he not know? The status of inner sect disciples was much higher than his. Naturally, he showed respect when they met. Respectfully said, "I don't know what business Brother Meng has here?" Meng Fanyi smiled faintly and said directly, "He was recommended by me to enter the Thousand Machines Sect. I hope Elder Cheng won't deliberately make things difficult." Cheng Li forced a smile. His old face was sullen. "Brother Meng should know the Qingtian Faction, right? I still hope you don't interfere. You know the consequences of offending the Qingtian Faction..." There was a hint of contempt in his words. Cheng Li didn't take Meng Fanyi seriously. Although he was an outer sect elder, he had the Qingtian Faction backing him up. In the outer sect, he could almost walk. He didn't take anyone seriously. Over the years, he had sent many talented disciples to the Qingtian Faction. Gradually being reused. Looking at Meng Fanyi's fearless look. With a look of being the best in the world. It made Zhou Peng frown. His eyes narrowed. Revealing a faint killing intent. The killing intent disappeared in an instant. "Don't forget. This is the Thousand Machines Sect. Not the Qingtian Sect. No matter how powerful the Qingtian Faction is, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Thousand Machines Sect. Believe it or not, I will go to the Disciplinary Hall and report you?" Meng Fanyi's attitude suddenly became tough. A faint anger spread on his face. He stared directly at Cheng Li and shouted angrily. Cheng Li's facial muscles twitched. He was extremely angry in his heart. Let out a soft snort. Walked back to his seat. Shouted loudly and said, "Zhou Peng. Yellow Gate." "Cheng Li, you are so bold..." Meng Fanyi shouted angrily and was about to go forward to argue. But Zhou Peng held him back. "Brother Meng, forget it." Zhou Peng held Meng Fanyi. Gave Cheng Li a cold look. Killing intent was fully revealed!
