Outside the cave where Shi Lang was cultivating stood an old man. He was a Dao Lord, however, his spiritual aura was so restrained that if someone did not know his identity, they would call him a mortal. He had just disturbed the restriction array on the cave and was about to step in when a strong killing intent was locked on him.
The old man raised his eyebrow and yelled, "Insolence!"
Shi Lang came out of the cave and questioned in a cold tone, "Am I insolent or is it you? How dare you barge into my cave, don't you understand the basic rules of cultivation old man?"
The old man was shocked, he did not expect someone to talk to him in this manner. Although he was in the wrong, but this person was too much. He yelled, "How dare you talk to me in this manner? Do you have a death wish?"
He wanted to scare Shi Lang back, but the Terran took a step forward and with an defying gaze he said, "Death wish? Do you dare to attack a disciple in the sect disregarding the rules? Are your superiors aware that you are so shameless and love bullying juniors, Old Man?"
His voice was calm but it spread throughout the surroundings like fire in dry grass. Many disciples had retreated from outside his cave, but a few of them were still keeping an eye from a distance. They had rushed up when they heard the commotion. One of the early arrivals said, "Fuck, Shi Lang got into trouble with Stone Brow Yama."
The disciples who heard this were stunned and then they shook their heads. One of the new people asked, "Senior Brother, who is this Stone Brow Yama?"
The young man looked at this guy and sighed as he said, "He is the deacon of Sword Hall. His personality is very rude and many times he causes troubles for the Outer Sect disciples."
They all watched Shi Lang standing before the Elder. The former took a deep breath, and clenched his fists. Shi Lang did not even budge half a step and asked, "State your reason, why have you come here?"
As he spoke, he was holding onto his spear, and his intent was blatantly slapping the old man in the face. Deacon Yama was left speechless. He clenched on the hilt of his sword and said, "You, hmph. The Sword Hall elder has summoned you for enrollment. Come with me."
Shi Lang looked at him coldly and replied, "I am not interested, now, get lost and don't bother my cultivation."
He did not care about anything and waved his hand to recast the restriction as he retreated. Deacon Yama was stunned and his eyes opened wide as he watched Shi Lang. He waved his hand and undid the restriction as he yelled, "Bastard, who do you think you are to defy the decree of the Sword Hall?"
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother, it is not our sword hall, but this child is too stubborn."
Elder San smiled and replied, "So what if he is stubborn? That is his path to walk, why do you have to trouble him like this?"
The other party could not answer, but Elder San asked with his spiritual communication, 'Did your Hall Master, not tell you about his true identity? Do you want His Excellency the Holy Elder to slay you like a chicken by attacking him?'

Elder Qui sighed, but then he froze and looked at Elder San with his eyes wide open. The elders and everyone knew that the Holy Elder has taken in a disciple, but he did not expect it to be Shi Lang. He trembled when he recalled how Deacon Yama had attacked Shi Lang on his watch, and a chill ran down his spine.
Yes, Hall Master of the Sword Hall has sent these two people to invite Shi Lang for a conversation after he comes out of his seclusion. However, Yama was rash in his actions and almost got seriously injured but Elder Qui saved him.
Elder Qui looked at Shi Lang and said, "Disciple Shi Lang, the Hall Master of the Sword Hall invites you for a conversation."
Everyone looked at the change in Elder Qui's tune and they were stunned. How can a dignified instructor talk to the disciple like this. Shi Lang looked at Elder San, who smiled and said, "You can make your own decision. No one will bother you."
Shi Lang nodded and then retreated inside the cave after casting a restriction array. Elder San chuckled and said, "Elder Qui, you lot ought to be careful. He completed a red scroll task with a weaker cultivation base. I hope you don't bother with him or the consequences might be out of your control."
Elder Qui nodded and then he looked at Deacon Yama, before he said, "Go back to the Hall Master, and tell him everything that happened here. I will wait for Shi Lang to come out of his seclusion."
Deacon Yama was stunned, but Elder Qui did not give him a chance to ask anything and said, "If you dilly-dally, I will chop off your arm and present it to the Holy disciple as a token of apology."
Deacon Yama was shocked and his soul trembled when he heard the term, Holy Disciple. He bowed and apologized before running away. Elder San looked at the disciples around the cave and said, "Little ones, go back and cultivate, if you only stare at him from the side, he will eventually surpass you, no?"
The disciples woke up from their daze and all of them bowed before rushing away. However, after today, Shi Lang will become a legend in the Outer Sect.
