Chapter 230: The Great Pursuit by a Hundred
Gu Fan saw that the people had already left, so he sat down and took a sip of water.
"This is such a troublesome matter..."
To him personally, a little trouble was nothing.
Ever since he began cultivating, he had never been one to fear trouble.
However, with Ruo Xi by his side, he had no choice but to be a bit more cautious.
At least until Ruo Xi recovered, he needed to prioritize her safety.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan let out a sigh—he could only take things one step at a time.
Right now, his name had become thoroughly known throughout the Immortal Ai Sect. Among the male disciples, there were probably very few who didn’t want to beat him up.
"Now that I have the sect token, Mao Chang told me yesterday to hurry over to the hall to register my information. That way, I can move into Changxing Peak as soon as possible."
"Once I get to Changxing Peak, at least more than half of the disciples hostile toward me will be gone..."
With that thought, Gu Fan decided he might as well go there quickly. At worst, he would just stay low-key on the way, get it done quickly, and leave.
Afterward, he laid down several layers of defensive formations, then turned the name portion of the token to face inward and pinned it to his waist. Unless someone paid close attention to him, it would be hard to notice.
Immortal Ai Sect, Entry Disciple Registration Hall.
When Gu Fan arrived here, there were still two or three people ahead of him in line.
So he wasn’t in a rush and waited quietly at the end of the line.
The journey here had been relatively safe, although discussions about this matter were happening everywhere.
During these conversations, vicious phrases like "killed," "dismembered," and "castrated" kept coming up, but Gu Fan, with his solid mental fortitude, didn’t show the slightest reaction.
However, he had to admit, Nan Xuanrou’s influence among the male disciples was ridiculously strong.
Gu Fan felt that it wasn’t far off from the prestige of the Holy Son of the Brahma God Sect back then.
As for the strongest disciple in the Immortal Ai Sect—the man everyone called Senior Brother—he was rarely mentioned.
It seemed that aside from being known as the strongest disciple in the sect, there wasn’t much else noteworthy about him.
At this point, the two people in front had finished their registration. Now it was the turn of the last person ahead of Gu Fan, and then it would be his.
Soon, that person also finished. Unexpectedly, the previously silent elder at the registration desk suddenly showed an excited expression and exclaimed:
"Congratulations to Dun’an Peak for gaining another Core Disciple! Zhou Yi!"
The disciple named Zhou Yi looked thrilled and said respectfully to the elder:
"Thank you, Elder!"
At this moment, Gu Fan’s face stiffened. Why were they announcing names too?
As Zhou Yi left, it was finally Gu Fan’s turn.
"Hand over your identification token. I’ll verify it."
Gu Fan, a little uneasy, handed over the token and casually asked:
"Elder, does every disciple who joins a peak get their name shouted out like that?"
The elder stroked his white beard and smiled:
"This is to inspire the disciples. When others hear it, they’ll envy and train harder. The disciple involved will feel honored and be even more motivated."
Gu Fan’s expression darkened, already sensing what was about to happen.
"Elder, I’m a low-key person... Could we not announce my name..."
"How could that do! This tradition of ours can’t be broken by just one person!"
The elder looked at Gu Fan and said:
"Just looking at you, I can tell you’re someone who lacks confidence. No worries—this old man will help you make a grand entrance. You’ll be the center of attention."
Gu Fan quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, that’s not what I meant!"
But before the words even finished, the elder’s Mysterious Power surged, his aura multiplying several times as he loudly declared:
"Congratulations to Changxing Peak for gaining another Core Disciple! Gu Fan!"
After saying this, he gave Gu Fan a reassuring look, as if to say, “I’ve got this.”
"How about that, young man? Didn’t this elder help you save plenty of face!"
Just then, several rushing, whistling sounds echoed near the hall—people were rapidly approaching!
“Mangy servant dog Gu Fan! Hahaha, finally revealed your tracks!”
“Didn’t even have to put in effort, and he was recognized right at the hall! Good job, Elder!”
“Notify the others, call the Catch-the-Dog Alliance!”
In an instant, more than a dozen disciples nearby began sending transmissions rapidly—it was obvious they were summoning reinforcements!
For Gu Fan to join Changxing Peak and even become a Core Disciple meant his strength among Divine Moon Realm cultivators wasn’t low.
Calling more people to swarm him was the only reliable way.
At this moment, even the hall elder was dumbfounded. Seeing Gu Fan’s expression as dark as the bottom of a pot, he coughed twice in embarrassment.
So it wasn’t that you wanted to stay low-key—you were dodging calamity!
Gu Fan didn’t have time to think further. He grabbed the token and immediately made his way down the mountain. He had to bring Ruo Xi into Changxing Peak as quickly as possible—everything would be much better after that.
If he got surrounded, with so many people attacking at once, no matter how strong he was, he’d end up getting slapped a couple times!
Run! He had to run. Once he got the chance in the future, he’d definitely reclaim this face!
Gu Fan fled without hesitation, and soon people began arriving upon hearing the news. Among them were several Core Disciples in the Divine Moon Realm.
As soon as they spotted Gu Fan, they shouted:
“Good kid! Finally caught you!”
With that, they activated their Mysterious Power and launched an attack.
Gu Fan didn’t have time to waste on them. If the main group caught up, he wouldn’t be able to escape at all.
He couldn’t even be bothered to retaliate. At this level of attack, he could just tank it with his physical body.
When the few attackers saw that their strike hadn’t even made Gu Fan dodge, and he just kept running as if nothing happened, they were immediately annoyed!
“Go! Keep chasing him! He must be forcing himself to hold on after taking our attacks!”
“That’s right, keep chasing him!”
And so, Gu Fan ran in front while people chased behind, shouting as they pursued:
“Stop that brat ahead! He’s the one who had improper thoughts about Senior Sister Nan!”
Hearing that, those in front lit up—so this guy was the one who licked Senior Sister Nan!
Furious on the spot, they didn’t care about any difference in strength and unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Because of this, Gu Fan’s speed was constantly dragged down, and he never managed to shake off the crowd.
Looking back, the group behind had grown larger and larger. A rough glance estimated at least fifty or sixty people!
And these were mostly strong Core Disciples, with a large group of Inner Sect Disciples still catching up to join the chaos!
Gu Fan only turned around for a glance—and instantly felt numb.
What the hell was this? A marathon in the cultivation world?
He immediately threw back several Mysterious Power blasts, sending a few of the closest pursuers flying.
But it wasn’t enough—nowhere near enough!
As more and more people gathered, the dozen or so he repelled were barely worth mentioning!
“Let’s go, brothers! This guy actually dares to fight back!”
“Catch him and castrate him!”
“Everyone attack! I don’t believe he can still run!”
“Yeah!”
Right after that, Mysterious Power surged all around, and over a hundred Mysterious Power attacks exploded outward!
Gu Fan was stunned by the overwhelming energy approaching from behind.
This was a full-area bombardment—there was nowhere to dodge!
He had no choice but to form a defense using Mysterious Power and rely once again on his powerful physical body to tank the wave.
Fortunately, out of over a hundred attacks, only a dozen actually struck him, so it didn’t cause much damage.
But continuing this chase wasn’t a solution either!
Gu Fan was getting anxious. Turning around and fighting might let him win, but he would definitely suffer a heavy toll.
And if he did that, he could forget about going out in the future. If something serious happened, wouldn’t the elders from these guys’ sects bear a grudge against him?
After all, they were all from the same sect now.
