Chapter 9

Translator: Lordbluefire

Meanwhile, at the end of this street, inside the residence of a rich merchant, a middle-aged man was walking around leisurely. A young man followed beside him, walking vigorously with spirited steps. He was filled with energy. However, he liked to tilt his head upward and look down on people with his nostrils facing them, as though he was a tier superior compared to others.

The painted door behind them wasn’t closed, and the house owner who escorted them out also didn’t go back to his house immediately. At this moment, everyone who passed by the middle-aged man would respectfully greet him with the address ‘Elder Sun’ after seeing his black and gold robes.

Not long later, the surrounding whispers made him halt.

A few youths nearby were currently discussing something.

“I don’t know what that Immortal Sect Leader is thinking. Just entering the sect requires one to pay 1,000 gold? Have they gone mad from thinking too much about money?”

“The Immortal Sect is a fallen 2-stars sect. Now, even if they begged me to join, I wouldn’t go.”

“Yes, I wouldn’t go even if they begged me either.”

“Forget it, even this daddy who is at the fourth level of Body Refinement was chased away. How can you guys at the first and second level have the qualifications?”

“It can’t be right, even people at the fourth level were turned away?”

“Doesn’t the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect overestimate himself a little too much?”

…

After they finished discussing, Elder Sun immediately asked a disciple at the side, “The Immortal Sect actually started to recruit disciples? How strange. Mu Yan, do you know who the current sect leader of the Immortal Sect is?”

Mu Yan hurriedly replied, not wanting to be slow. “The son takes over the father’s business. The current sect leader should be that brat Wen Ping.”

“Do you know him?”

“No, I once saw him from afar before.”

“Wen Ping, the son of that man. The monkey scatters as the tree falls. This Wen Ping is pretty interesting. He actually wants to make a comeback.”

“Teacher, in that case, should we go over to take a look?”

“We naturally have to go and take a look. Our Reliance Sect is now the only sect in Cangwu City, so swallowing the Immortal Sect up is a matter that will happen sooner or later. Therefore, I want to go and see what tricks they are trying to pull to refuse a disciple at the fourth level of Body Refinement!”

As Elder Sun spoke, he began walking toward the end of the street and only stopped until he arrived at the foot of the Cloudmist Mountain.

He could already see from afar that many people had gathered at the foot of the mountain. There were about twenty to thirty of them, and when he walked over, some residents at the side saw him. Although most of them didn’t know him, they recognized the black and gold robes he was wearing.

This set of robes was the symbol of an elder of the Reliance Sect!

Because of it, the people gradually opened up a path and allowed Elder Sun to walk down the mountain with no obstruction.

When Elder Sun cast a glance at the sword monument, he couldn’t help but laugh in disdain in his heart.

(Does he really think that the sect is immortal?)

Mu Yan walked forward and stared at Wen Ping. After that, he informed his master, “Master, he is none other than the current sect leader of the Immortal Sect, Wen Ping.”

Elder Sun didn’t make any noise and just stood there.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Yan hurried forward and coldly spoke to Wen Ping, “Hey, you from the Immortal Sect. This is Elder Sun from our Reliance Sect, why are you not coming over to pay your respects?”

Hearing this, Wen Ping lifted his head, but he didn’t even glance at the two of them. He was looking at a youth before him and said, “I already said you are not accepted, didn’t you read the sign?”

“I can give 1,500 gold coins.”

“The entry fee is just 1,000 gold coins. If you give too much, you won’t have met the entry requirement and won’t be able to join my Immortal Sect.”

As Wen Ping said this, he felt extremely happy in his heart!

The attraction force of the main hall was really good after its function was turned on. Those who passed by would definitely be attracted by the Immortal Sect.

Although the vast majority of people here only came to watch a show, three people had shown interest to join within two hours. Moreover, they were all just one step away from being geniuses.

Sadly, with the rule imposed by the system, the three of them had been rejected by Wen Ping.

Mu Yan, who was at the side, immediately felt impatient when he saw that Wen Ping had completely ignored him. He then shouted in rage, “Oi, didn’t you hear me talking to you? Brat from the Immortal Sect!”

“Those who want to join, please look at the sign. If your aptitude meets the requirement, come here and pay the money. From now onward, you will be a disciple of my Immortal Sect.”

“Ai, the one surnamed Wen!”

After rolling up his sleeves, Mu Yan rushed over, wanting to drag Wen Ping with him.

However, Elder Sun stopped him. “It has only been so long, but the Immortal Sect has degraded into a place that swindles money from unsuspecting targets. How lamentable! 1,000 gold coins to join this sect? Those who don’t know might even assume that the Immortal Sect is a 3-stars sect.”

Wen Ping cast a glance at the other party and still said the same thing, “Those who want to join, please look at the sign. If your aptitude meets the requirement, come here and pay the money.”

“Just collect as much money and swindle as you want to. In any case, the Immortal Sect will soon change its name.”

Elder Sun coldly smiled as he cast a glance at the surroundings.

Those he looked at immediately evaded his gaze, and some who were afraid of offending the Reliance Sect even decided to leave. Although they were drawn here by the main hall’s attraction force, the feeling of attraction was still weaker than the cowardice in their hearts.

And just after a short while, the crowd of twenty to thirty people had almost dispersed.

However, they turned their heads back every few steps they walked. No matter what, a starving camel was still larger than a horse, so these people still felt like joining the Immortal Sect to cultivate. Sadly, people from the Reliance Sect had come here, and one of them was actually an elder of the Reliance Sect.

When Mu Yan saw this, he smiled complacently and shouted to the surroundings, “The Immortal Sect is no longer the Immortal Sect from before. If you guys want to cultivate and walk further on the path of cultivation, joining our Reliance Sect is the correct way.”

When everyone heard Mu Yan’s words, all of them started to exchange whispers.

“This time around, the people from the Immortal Sect are in for it.”

“Now that the Reliance Sect is interfering, I’m afraid that the Immortal Sect’s plan of recruiting disciples and slowly developing is ruined.”

“Ai, I originally wanted to try my luck to see if I could join the Immortal Sect. What a pity! After all, a starving camel is still larger than a horse!”

As they spoke, everyone continuously left the foot of the Cloudmist Mountain.

Right now, Wen Ping was a little unhappy as he looked at the two people before him. He asked, “You guys came here to make trouble, right?”

As his voice rang out, the spectators who hadn’t walked too far away immediately halted.

The words exchanged became even more explosive!

However, no one knew how the people from the Immortal Sect would handle this.

“Don’t worry, they definitely won’t choose to fight. After all, Elder Sun is someone from the Reliance Sect.”

“So what if he’s from the Reliance Sect? The Immortal Sect was once a 2-stars sect. Why are they afraid of an elder from a 1-star sect?”

“Have you gone stupid? Everyone in the Immortal Sect has left. Didn’t you hear about it?”

“Aiya, there will surely be a bad ending today. What else can we do? If we want to cultivate in the future, we can only join the Reliance Sect.”

Before the sounds of discussion stopped, two sounds rang out continuously.

Pak!

Pak!

As the people turned their heads, they only saw two dark shadows flying through the air. The two dark shadows then landed inside thick bushes a few meters away.

No one could see clearly what the two flying shadows were.

All of a sudden, someone shouted in shock, “Where are the people from the Reliance Sect?”

“Where are they?”

Everyone glanced around. After that, their gazes focused on the bushes, waiting to see who would crawl out from within.

However, there was no need to look. They already had the answer in their hearts.

The two from the Reliance Sect had disappeared, but the two from the Immortal Sect were still standing there. The answer was extremely clear.

Elder Sun from the Reliance Sect had been tossed out by someone, just like how one would throw out garbage..
