My Master Knows It All

416: Chapter 166: Grand Preceptor, I am Now the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak_3 416: Chapter 166: Grand Preceptor, I am Now the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak_3 At that time, the Clearfall Sect was on the rise, and they always believed that they could become one of the top ten Immortal Sects.

Yet, it was our Hundred Peaks Sect that ended up being one of the top ten, leaving the Clearfall Sect out in the cold.

Of course, the Clearfall Sect wouldn’t accept this lying down.

From then on, they compared themselves to our Hundred Peaks Sect at every turn.

Whenever there was a chance, they would definitely try to outdo us.

“I understand now.

The Thousand Caves Door wants to compete with us to see who is the number one Mixed Clan in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, while the Clearfall Sect wants to oust our Hundred Peaks Sect to become one of the top ten Immortal Sects.”

Cao Zhen asked somewhat curiously, “So, how bad is our relationship with them?” He had already seen the relationship between his Hundred Peaks Sect and the Thousand Caves Door.

Although there was competition, it was still a gentlemanly one.

Lan Pili explained, “It’s about the same as with the Thousand Caves Door, or perhaps, a bit worse.

However, even with the struggles, we’re all esteemed and virtuous sects.

It’s more about outcompeting the other.

Although there’s certainly no shortage of scheming against each other, no one really goes so far as to harm one another.”

As the two conversed, Li Qinglei had already started addressing the crowd, “Fellow Dao Companions, perhaps some of you are unclear about who Peak Master Lan is.

Allow me to introduce him to everyone.

Everyone should know that the Hundred Peaks Sect has one hundred peaks, and among them, Peak Master Lan is the Peak Master of Lightning Peak, which I remember is ranked ninety-third.”

While speaking, he put on an expression as if he had just suddenly remembered something, as if struck by a realization, and said, “Oh right, it seems that the Hundred Peaks Sect has just re-ranked its peaks.

Peak Master Lan, what is Lightning Peak’s current ranking?”

“Still Ninety-Three Peak.” Lan Pili looked annoyed at Li Qinglei.

The other’s intention was clear: he was deliberately using Lightning Peak’s ranking to make a point.

Around them, many who didn’t recognize Lan Pili heard this and instantly understood.

Ninety-Three Peak was among the lower ten peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Although the Hundred Peaks Sect was one of the top ten Immortal Sects, there was a big difference in the strength of its peaks.

The strength of the Peak Masters of the Top Ten Peaks or even the Upper Fifty Peaks naturally went without saying.

But as for the lower fifty peaks, especially the lower ten peaks, their Peak Masters’ strength was much, much inferior.

Some were not even among the strongest in minor sects and clans.

Lan Pili, being only the Peak Master of Ninety-Three Peak, meant that this time the Hundred Peaks Sect’s mission likely would not be led by him.

So, was it all resting on a Peak Master of a mere spiritual place?

Many eyes turned to Cao Zhen.

They were aware that the Hundred Peaks Sect had one hundred peaks, and they knew that Flying Immortal Peak was the strongest.

They were aware of the presence of Five Elements Peak, and they also knew about the Top Ten Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Beyond that, at most, they were familiar with the Top Twenty Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, or the names of the Top Twenty Peaks sounded familiar to them.

But as for the rankings of other peaks, they were not so clear.

After all, with so many Immortal Sects in the Guardian Immortal Dynasty, and with ten major Immortal Sects to consider, it was impossible for them to be well-informed about every single sect.

As the crowd’s gaze moved towards him, Li Qinglei also looked at Cao Zhen, with a smile on his face, he asked, “I wonder what the ranking of your Four Treasures Peak is now within the Hundred Peaks Sect?”

Cao Zhen answered calmly, “Our Four Treasures Peak is ranked one hundredth.”

One hundredth?

Many people around were stunned.

If Lightning Peak, ranked ninety-third, was already quite low, then a ranking of one hundred was, frankly, as low as it could possibly get.

Even if this person was a Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect, being last on the list meant there was a limit to how powerful he could be.

A Peak Master ranked one hundredth would be the weakest among all the envoys and deputy envoys present, and it was likely that many disciples were stronger than this Peak Master of the Hundredth Peak.

What was going on with the Hundred Peaks Sect this time?

Even though an envoy mission wouldn’t send their strongest people, they should send someone at least somewhat competent, right?

A Peak Master of the Ninety-Three Peak and another of the Hundredth Peak—what did this mean?

What was the Hundred Peaks Sect thinking?

“One hundredth peak…” Li Qinglei chuckled lightly, without saying more, but the implication was clear to everyone.

When Lan Pili saw Li Qinglei’s reaction, a roar of anger rose in his heart, and he grumbled dissatisfiedly, “Li Qinglei, if you’re going to speak, do it properly.

What’s this supposed to mean?

Looking down on us?

Ridiculous, you yourself are only the Pavilion Master of the thirty-ninth rank.”

Their Clearfall Sect totaled forty-nine pavilions, or say fifty pavilions.

Converted to their Hundred Peaks Sect standard, that would be about the level of the eightieth pavilion.

If it weren’t for the special circumstances of this Hundred Peaks grand competition where there was no competition among Peak Masters, his Lightning Peak could have surely risen to around the eightieth rank.

Moreover, there was Peak Master Cao nearby.

He still had some trouble understanding how Peak Master Cao’s Four Treasures Peak had fallen to the last place.

If the disciples of Peak Master Cao had performed normally and had the right tactics, even if they couldn’t push into the Upper Fifty Peaks, reaching somewhere in the fifties or sixties should have been no problem at all.

For the Pavilion Master of the thirty-ninth pavilion of the Clearfall Sect to mock their ranking, Li Qinglei was the real joke.

“My Thunderbolt Tower is ranked thirty-ninth, but no matter how you look at it, it’s a bit higher than your Lightning Peak.” Li Qinglei sneered, then continued with a strange tone, “Now that the disciples of all the great Immortal Sects have descended the mountain to exchange their opinions, I imagine many have made their way to your Hundred Peaks Sect.

I wonder, how many rounds has your Hundred Peaks Sect won in these discussions?”
