Qin Tian and Wang Tianqing talked about many things at the Ninth Young Master’s residence.

The topics were roughly about how to help Qin Tian improve, how to arrange Qin Tian’s future path in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, and occasionally mentioned the other young masters, especially the Eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Master.

Afterward, the Ninth Young Master and Wang Tianqing entered another room for a private discussion, while Qin Tian left first.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Qin Tian felt as if he was acting as a spy, full of mystery. It was nothing more than Wang Tianqing and the Ninth Young Master promising great prospects, but in essence, it was the same as when Ming Jing sought him out to persuade him to side with the Fourth Young Master.

However, Qin Tian was also very clear in his heart that since he was now being targeted by these young masters, it was impossible to remain neutral and not take sides.

Internally, Qin Tian leaned towards not saying anything for the time being, and following Wang Tianqing’s arrangements, as there were no better choices at the moment.

”Among the Top Ten Inner Sect Disciples, who should I challenge?”

Returning to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, Qin Tian started eyeing the top ten Inner Sect Disciples. Since he had agreed to the challenge, Qin Tian was determined to follow through.

After two days of investigation and inquiries, Qin Tian finally learned that among the top ten Inner Sect Disciples, Mo Ziyang had trained two of them, one ranked tenth, another ranked fourth.

Strike the snake at its weakest point.

Previously, Qin Tian had already considered dealing with Mo Ziyang. Now, since he couldn’t directly target him, he decided to start with Mo Ziyang’s most prized disciples!

The disciple ranked fourth among the top ten is Zhu Qige, the ”Third Senior Brother” respected by both the Inner and Outer Disciples of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

This guy is quite arrogant in Xuanyuan Immortal Sect and doesn’t regard anyone except the Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister, and his temper is terrible. No one dares to provoke him.

Zhu Qige himself is not only strong but also highly talented. With Mo Ziyang backing him, typical disciples would avoid him.

Among the ”Xuanyuan Four Masters” who made a name for the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, Zhu Qige is one.

”If I deal with Zhu Qige, Mo Ziyang should feel the blow, right? No, not just a blow, it’s like shaking him to his core...”

Thinking about it, Qin Tian was thus decided on his challenge target.

...

”What?! Zhu Qige?!”

When Qin Tian told Wang Tianqing of his decision, Wang Tianqing directly jumped up from his seat.

He was first incredibly shocked. After walking back and forth for a few steps, he calmed down.

”What?! Zhu Qige... one of the Xuanyuan Four Masters... Qin Tian, if you challenge him like this, wouldn’t the impact be too large?”

Wang Tianqing looked at Qin Tian and said, ”Among the younger generation of our Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, the Xuanyuan Four Masters are the only four we can rely on when competing with other sects. That Zhu Qige is incredibly strong, you...”

Wang Tianqing instinctively felt that Qin Tian couldn’t beat Zhu Qige, but then he suddenly remembered that Qin Tian had even slain Li Jinyuan, and Zhu Qige... it seems Zhu Qige’s strength isn’t much different from Li Jinyuan’s?

”Are you sure you can defeat Zhu Qige?” Wang Tianqing asked very cautiously.

”Not sure, I don’t know him well, nor have I fought him before,” Qin Tian answered truthfully.

”Hmm... let me think... let me think...”

Wang Tianqing was evidently unprepared for Qin Tian’s decision, showing some panic, but he seemed unwilling to oppose Qin Tian’s challenge.

”If you take Zhu Qige down, you will become one of the Xuanyuan Four Masters...”

”That would be equivalent to Mo Ziyang losing an arm. Haha, that would be a major setback for him...”

”However, your decision might have far-reaching effects, so you still need to consider the implications... hmmm... don’t panic just yet, I’ll go discuss it with the Ninth Young Master.”

Ultimately, Wang Tianqing was so startled by Qin Tian’s decision that he decided to consult with the Ninth Young Master.

According to the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s rules, challenging one of the top ten Inner Sect Disciples must take place during the official challenge months, which are June and December of each year.

Moreover, challenging the top ten Inner Sect Disciples requires the consent of at least two out of the three Great Elders.

The three Great Elders are Zhang Xiaolin, Mo Ziyang, and Wang Tianqing.

Although Wang Tianqing doesn’t have real power, he is still one of the three Great Elders nominally, and he holds voting power.

Qin Tian was well aware that if he challenged Zhu Qige, Mo Ziyang would likely disagree, Wang Tianqing would consent, and the decisive vote would be in Zhang Xiaolin’s hands.

Does Zhang Xiaolin support the Ninth Young Master, or is he allied with Mo Ziyang? This, Qin Tian didn’t know.

”The Ninth Young Master has approved your challenge!”

Wang Tianqing came out of the Ninth Young Master’s residence, his face filled with joy, and said to Qin Tian, ”Your decision even startled him, including me. Who would have thought you’d do something like this... I think when you issue the challenge, Mo Ziyang will be more shocked than us!”

Mentioning Mo Ziyang, Wang Tianqing looked very excited, eager to see Mo Ziyang’s expression when he learns that Qin Tian intends to challenge Zhu Qige.

”Master, the vote... I need the approval of the three Great Elders to challenge Zhu Qige... The decisive vote is in Elder Zhang Xiaolin’s hands. Will Mo Ziyang work behind the scenes to have Elder Zhang Xiaolin cast a veto?” Qin Tian said.

Wang Tianqing shook his head, looking confident, and said, ”No, rest assured, I’ve already communicated with the Ninth Young Master. He said he’s handling this for you, you just need to prepare for the challenge against Zhu Qige in two months. Make sure to strike a decisive blow and deal a significant setback to Mo Ziyang and the Eldest Young Master.”

Hearing this, Qin Tian realized that Mo Ziyang was actually a person of the Eldest Young Master!

In other words, by targeting Zhu Qige and Mo Ziyang this time, on the surface, it appeared to be Qin Tian against Zhu Qige, but in reality, it was a covert struggle between the Ninth Young Master and the Eldest Young Master?

Then, Zhang Xiaolin, as the most authoritative Law Enforcement Elder among the three Great Elders, which young master does he belong to?

Since Wang Tianqing and the Ninth Young Master had already discussed it and let the Ninth Young Master handle Zhang Xiaolin to cast a favorable vote, it indicated that Elder Zhang Xiaolin was neither with the Ninth Young Master nor the Eldest Young Master, but possibly with the Fourth Young Master or the Seventh Young Master.

Qin Tian felt that the internal strife within the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect was becoming increasingly complex, with the four young masters vying for power, scheming beneath the surface.

”Challenging the top ten Inner Sect Disciples requires notice a month in advance. Don’t tell Zhu Qige yet. Wait for a better timing and bring it up in person when you, I, Mo Ziyang, and Zhu Qige are all present. Haha, Mo Ziyang once mocked me, now I want to see his reaction then.”

Wang Tianqing strategized and said.
