Cultivation Online novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 - The 100th Floor

Once all of the disciples left the scene with the sect elders remaining, Long Yijun turned to look at the low-ranking sect elders and shouted, "This includes the sect elders! Or are you trying to tell me that you’re not disciples?!"

The sect elders there immediately began sweating and ran away in a hurry, silently wondering to themselves why they couldn’t be there as well.

"What the heck? We’re sect elders, right? Why can’t we be there as well?" One of them asked after they were all very far away from the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower.

"Why are you asking us? Do we look like the Sect Master to you?" Another one said.

"Haaa... I wanted to know who was inside that tower, though."

"What about the record book? Surely, we can find out if we look at whoever signed up for the tower, right?"

"You’re right! There’s the record book! Who is in charge of that this week?"

"That would be Elder Bao, right? But I don’t see him here."

Meanwhile, the disciples were also complaining to each other—

"Why were we chased away? What’s wrong with seeing the person inside the tower?"

"Who knows. Maybe you should ask the Sect Master afterward."

"Do you think I have a fucking death wish?!"

"We’ll eventually find out. There’s no way someone so talented can be kept hidden for long."

Back at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower, Long Yijun and the other high-ranking sect elders there all stared at a middle-aged man who was soaking in cold sweats at this moment.

"Let me see the record book." Long Yijun extended his hand to the sect elder who managed the records.

"Here you go, Sect Master..." Elder Bao handed the book to Long Yijun with trembling hands, and he recalled how he’d disrespected the young Outer Court disciple who signed up after Min Li.

’Fuck, fuck, fuck! I am so fucking dead! If they learn that I’ve offended the person inside the tower right now, they will eat me alive!’ Elder Bao cried inwardly, feeling like he’d fall unconscious from fear at any moment.

A few moments later, Long Yijun mumbled, "I knew it... It’s Disciple Yuan that’s inside right now."

"Did you even need to look at the book, Sect Master? I’m pretty sure we already knew..." Elder Shan said with a smile on her face, and she turned to look at the tower and continued to speak, "Do you think he’ll achieve 100 floors?"

"We already know that he’s more talented than the Founder so that’s very likely," said Elder Xuan.

"Anyway, you are Sect Elder Bao, right?" Bai Ling approached him and asked.

"T-That’s right!" Elder Bao quickly nodded.

Bai Ling then placed his large hands onto Elder Bao’s shoulders firmly before speaking in a serious and deep voice, "I want you to listen to me very carefully, Elder Bao. The disciple who entered this tower— Disciple Yuan— you will not reveal any information about him no matter what! In fact, you can forget about what happened here today, do you understand me?"
