Chapter 311: Chapter 310 Elder Brother Dai: No matter what happens this time, I will not be surprised_1
“This is the Seek Dao Sect?” Qin Yanyan exclaimed, standing in front of the gate to the sect’s mountain.
The Seek Dao Sect, as one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, is extremely active in the Cultivation World. Even a cultivator like Qin Yanyan, who rarely leaves home, has heard much of the sect’s reputation and accomplishments. Their demon-slaying, justice-defending deeds attest to their strength.
Even her mother, Su Yiren, was full of praise for the sect’s strength, saying that the Seek Dao Sect might be the strongest among the Five Great Immortal Sects.
After crossing the sect’s protective array, she could distinctly sense the difference between here and the outside world. The temperature and humidity were perfectly controlled, and the concentration of spiritual energy was significantly higher, almost on par with her own home.
It should be noted that in her home, only she and her mother, Su Yiren, lived.
As a cultivator in the Unification stage, Su Yiren could only increase the spiritual energy concentration of a single mountain to this level.
But the Seek Dao Sect, sprawling over a hundred thousand miles, had a spiritual energy concentration similar to her home—this was terrifying.
“Is this the depth of twelve million years?”
As the three men and one woman entered the mountain gate and passed through a bamboo forest, ripples formed on the babbling river flowing through the forest, and a River Spirit appeared.
“Stop, Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, who are you bringing into the Seek Dao Sect?” The River Spirit, brandishing two axes of gold and silver, glared threateningly at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The River Spirit served as the sect’s defense, preventing unwelcome individuals from entering.
When two vice-masters of the Eternity Sect entered the Seek Dao Sect previously, the River Spirit didn’t stop them because Yun Zhi secretly instructed him to disregard the matter.
Otherwise, even led by Lu Yang, the two vice-masters wouldn’t have managed to step foot within.
“This is Qin Yanyan, Junior Brother Li’s relative,” Lu Yang introduced generously.
“Relative?” The River Spirit suspiciously glanced at the blushing Qin Yanyan, then at the strangely behaving Li Haoran.
“I have information on all the disciples of the Seek Dao Sect. How come I have never heard of a relative of Li Haoran named Qin Yanyan?”
Li Haoran thought, I didn’t know either until two months ago.
Lu Yang briefly explained: “It’s like this, you should know that Junior Brother Li has a fiancée.”
The River Spirit nodded.
“Junior Brother Li’s fiancée has a daughter, her name is Qin Yanyan.”
River Spirit: “!”
When Meng Jingzhou heard the River Spirit mention that he had information on all the sect’s disciples, his eyes lit up. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Then you must know the age of Eldest Senior Sister…”
Suddenly sensing danger, Lu Yang, with swift reflexes, kicked Meng Jingzhou flying, cutting him off.
If you want to die, don’t drag everyone down with you!
“Li Haoran, is he telling the truth?” Considering his experience, the River Spirit couldn’t fully trust Lu Yang’s words.
Li Haoran hesitated before nodding: “It’s the truth.”
The River Spirit saluted Li Haoran respectfully and let the four of them pass.
“Enter, you all know the sect’s rules, there are places you cannot go without permission.”
The first place the four arrived at was the Task Hall.
After all, their initial purpose of leaving the sect was to undertake a task.
Although they encountered some twists along the way, the task was completed in the end.
“Dear niece, wait here at the entrance. The Task Hall is quite unique, you cannot enter without the permission of an elder level figure.” Lu Yang apologized to Qin Yanyan.
Qin Yanyan waited at the entrance of the Task Hall. As a new face, passing disciples would glance at her subconsciously. Already being reserved, she couldn’t bear the scrutiny. Her toes were nearly curling.
Suddenly, two figures caught Qin Yanyan’s attention.
“I heard from Elder River Spirit that Senior Brother Lu is here at the Task Hall, let’s go and seek his advice!”
“Senior Sister Tao, there’s no need to rush. If we wait at the entrance of Sky Gate Mountain, we will eventually run into Brother Lu.”
A male and female figure were chatting while walking towards the Task Hall.
“Huh, a new face.” The woman noticed the awkward Qin Yanyan, who didn’t know where to put her hands and feet, and greeted her warmly.
“My name is Tao Yaoye, and this is Man Gu, who are you?”
…
“Senior Brother, we’re here to report our task.” Lu Yang addressed the brother managing the front desk of the Task Hall.
“The task of the female ghost in Guhuai Town, right? Hold on.” Behind the brother were piles of files. He turned around and smoothly pulled out a thin file from the very bottom.
Strangely enough, although he drew from the very bottom file, the small mountain of files above showed no signs of disruption. They didn’t move in the slightest.
Lu Yang noticed astutely that these files were not stacked one on top of another, but floating in mid-air. They just appeared stacked because they were placed so closely together.
Lu Yang handed over the account of the events, Chief Fan’s certification, and the proof of the female ghost’s harmlessness.
The brother managing the desk had seen many strange things. Although the idea of using the female ghost as a gimmick to stimulate local economic development sounds bizarre, it was not the first time he had seen such a case according to his knowledge.
However, these things couldn’t be widely publicized, so they were rarely known.
“Concerning your application to register the three female ghosts with the Seek Dao Sect as stated in your report, someone will go for an onsite inspection later.”
The Seek Dao Sect slays demons, but not demons that are harmless. For those without a history of harming people and pose no danger, the sect would register them after ensuring their harmlessness, to avoid misunderstandings from righteous cultivators.
If a righteous cultivator insists on eliminating the three female ghosts named Xiao Qi, they only need to present their Seek Dao Sect registration, and the cultivator would withdraw wisely.
“In your report it says that the three female ghosts were sucking up Yang Qi under another’s command, what is that about?”
“This matter is related to the demonic sect, I need to report to Elder Brother Dai,” Lu Yang said seriously.
“Hold on, let me inform him.”
“Lu Yang, they want to report to me again?” Dai Bufan was currently shrunk and enclosed inside a giant water ball. It wasn’t just him inside the water ball, but also sharks, whales, octopuses, and other demon beasts, bearing their sharp teeth and glaring at Dai Bufan menacingly.
On hearing that Lu Yang wanted to see him, he withdrew from the water ball, restored his body to its original size, and swallowed the entire water ball, including the ferocious beasts, in one gulp.
This was one of his battle moves, which could pull enemies into the water ball and let the aquatic demon beasts tear their bodies to pieces.
“Let them in.”
Dai Bufan pondered. This time, besides Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, there was also Li Haoran. Could it be that this matter was related to the demonic sect of the Nine Nether?
“How come every time these two carry out a task it’s related to the demonic sect?” Dai Bufan wondered. He suspected that it might be due to similarity attracting similarity, with Lu Yang and the others mutually attracting the demonic sect.
However, whatever Lu Yang reports this time, Dai Bufan decided he won’t be surprised.
What could it be? At most it would be successfully joining the Nine Nether sect.
When Lu Yang and the others found Dai Bufan, Lu Yang admitted frankly:
“Elder Brother Dai, the three of us have formed a new demonic sect.”
