After returning to the Mie Sect, the Great Elder and the Sect Master separated. The Great Elder sent a message jade talisman to Fuyu City, asking Mao Aowu to come back to discuss an important matter.
In order to let Wu Wang feel at ease as the Sect Master, they agreed to the three-year agreement. But now...
It seems that the Sect Master has forgotten about this.
"Did he really forget?"
The Miao Elder smiled and said, "If he forgot, then we won't mention it anymore.
Father, you don't have to take it too seriously. The Sect Master is just finding some excuses because of his thin face."
The Great Elder said solemnly, "The Sect Master is not an ordinary person. We cannot use ordinary reasoning to measure him!
Why is Mao Aowu so slow? It has been several hours, why hasn't he come back yet!"
"He is the Deputy Sect Master of the Renhuang Pavilion now."
The Miao Elder leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she teased, "Father, you have made an extraordinary breakthrough. Isn't it normal for him not to come back with a gift?"
The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said, "He sent a reply saying that Ji Mo is in seclusion, and he is really worried.
It's not his fault, after all, the Ji family is also a prominent family in the Human Realm, and Ji Mo's background is really profound.
Now that Ji Mo is the protector of our Mie Sect, we cannot ignore his safety."
Miao Cuijiao snorted, "A playboy."
The Great Elder said seriously, "Young people can't control themselves, it's normal for their behavior to be frivolous. Don't speak ill of Ji Mo like that."
"Why isn't the Sect Master like him?"
Miao Cuijiao snorted, "Our Sect Master is very honest. Lin Suqing is still a virgin until now, even the close maidservants don't mess around. She is much stronger than Ji Mo."
The Great Elder looked up and down at his daughter, who was only a few thousand years old, and found that Miao Cuijiao, who was dressed much more conservatively than she was a few years ago, was completely different from her identity as the master of the Black Desire Sect.
This is...
The Great Elder stroked his beard and said with deep meaning, "If you have feelings for the Sect Master, start cultivating early and I will assist you. I can help you restore your cultivation level within a hundred years."
Miao Cuijiao widened her phoenix eyes and said, "Me? Feelings for the Sect Master? Father, don't joke! I'm not interested in a young man who can't grow a beard."
The Great Elder laughed and said nothing.
"Hmph," Miao Cuijiao crossed her slender arms in front of her, "Believe it or not."
"What do you mean, believe it or not? Hahaha!"
Outside the Great Elder's thatched house, several Heavenly Immortal realm elders flew in with a gust of black wind, and after landing, a rolling demonic energy spread around them. They entered the thatched house one by one.
Miao Cuijiao snorted and retreated to a corner, making way for these uncles.
The elders greeted and took their seats. Just as they were about to ask why the Great Elder had summoned them, several bursts of laughter echoed in the sky above the rift.
Two figures passed through the barrier of the blood-colored array and landed, attracting the curious gazes of the young disciples in the valley.
The silver-haired youth with a sword on his back was full of spirit and vitality. His medium-length silver hair was tied into a ponytail, and the hilt of the sword protruding from his shoulder emitted a sharp aura.
Beside the silver-haired youth, there was another handsome young man with a high bun. His appearance was even more charming, with a slender figure. The blue long robe he wore was particularly elegant. With a light shake of the folding fan in his hand, many young women couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
It was Mao Aowu and Ji Mo who had arrived.
At this time, Ji Mo's aura was still unstable. After this enlightenment in the Flower Tower and a long period of seclusion, he had already reached the early stage of the True Immortal realm.
Not only did his cultivation realm soar, but the deficiencies in his previous cultivation had also been completely filled.
He had found a new self in the Flower Tower!
As if deliberately coming together, Ji Mo and Mao Aowu had just landed when a large ship flew over the rift.
When the ship stabilized, more than a hundred rays of light flew out from it. There were more than ten Heavenly Immortals wearing battle armor and more than twenty True Immortals marching in formation. The rest were immortal soldiers wearing armor with the character 'Lin' on it.
Behind them, four beautiful maidservants carried a bamboo chair and descended towards the protective mountain array.
These four maidservants had beautiful and charming faces, and they even had the rare same appearance;
Sitting on the bamboo chair was a young man in white clothes with a handsome face and a slightly feminine appearance. When he didn't speak, his face always seemed a bit gloomy.
It was Lin Qi, the only son of the Lin family who had returned to the Mie Sect after only staying at home for half a day.
Ji Mo and Mao Aowu exchanged a glance, one frowned and the other raised an eyebrow, and they had reached a tacit understanding.
When Lin Qi's bamboo chair landed, Ji Mo inserted his folding fan into the collar at the back of his neck and shouted, "Get him!" He and Mao Aowu rushed forward from both sides, and in the slightly panicked eyes of the four maidservants, they pummeled Lin Qi.
If it weren't for Lin Qi's inability to hold back his laughter, the hands of the Lin family's guards holding their treasures would have already fallen...
Ji Mo looked at the four beautiful maidservants and cursed, "You bastard! If you're back, just come back. Why make such a fuss!"
Mao Aowu made a reasonable argument, "The status of the protectors cannot exceed that of the elders!"
"Hahaha, hahaha, it's my fault, my fault!"
Lin Qi begged for mercy repeatedly, his hearty laughter making Ji Mo somewhat puzzled.
Ji Mo wondered, "Why do I feel that you are more cheerful than before after my seclusion?"
"Really? It should be because we haven't seen each other for a year or two."
Lin Qi smiled and said, his warm male voice spreading like water droplets into a spring, resonating with a clear sound.
He raised an eyebrow, and with a hint of pride in his long and narrow eyes, he leaned forward and whispered in Ji Mo's ear, "My teacher has visited my home. Among all the prominent families in the Human Realm, my home was the first one my teacher visited."
A smile froze on Ji Mo's face.
Ah, this guy and his damn desire for victory!
With a proud raise of his eyebrow, Lin Qi casually took off the folding fan behind Ji Mo's neck, opened it with a snap, and swayed it gently in front of him.
"Please arrange a place for them, Elder, and from today onwards, these four maidservants will also join the Mie Sect. Their accommodation doesn't have to be too close to mine, so as not to disturb my teacher."Mao Aowu agreed a few times and looked at the hundred or so figures standing in the air. He also thought about the supervisory group of Renhuang Pavilion during the extermination sect's closed-door cultivation...
Their path of development in the extermination sect seems to be different from the conventional demonic sect?
Half an hour later.
All the Heavenly Immortal elders of the extermination sect gathered in the Great Elder's grass hut. The two lonely and empty protectors also attended this small meeting. They listened to Miaocuijiao talking about the "three-year agreement" of the sect master.
The Great Elder said, "This matter is just like this. What are your opinions?"
The elders pondered individually and couldn't say anything.
Miaocuijiao said, "This matter is actually quite simple. We just need to directly request it."
"It seems simple, but it's actually not simple."
Ji Mo analyzed seriously, "Brother Wu Wang, cough, the sect master actually has a thin face. If we choose the wrong approach and make the sect master feel a bit embarrassed, he will really take a step back.
I think everyone more or less knows that the sect master's identity is extraordinary. The position of the sect master in the extermination sect is actually dispensable to him."
The Heavenly Immortal elders nodded.
Lin Qi said, "The simplest way is for us to go directly to the teacher and kneel down to ask him not to leave. The teacher is kind-hearted and values righteousness. He is a role model for the younger generation of the Human Realm and will not abandon us."
"Too low," Ji Mo smiled, "this would make us underestimate our own status. Brother Wu Wang actually dislikes this."
At this point, Ji Mo raised his eyebrows at Lin Qi and smiled, "Fortunately, I have been to Brother Wu Wang's hometown in my early years and have seen the customs there. They are simple and natural."
Lin Qi: ...Hmph.
Mao Aowu said seriously, "Why don't we go and ask Fairy Lin Suqing?"
"The sect master's residence has a sign that says 'closed-door cultivation, do not disturb'," the Great Elder checked with his divine sense and said in a gentle voice, "We shouldn't go and disturb him."
After pondering for a while, everyone was unsure and started to rack their brains, offering their own strategies.
But after discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a solution.
Mao Aowu said, "When Renhuang Pavilion invites experts to take important positions, there is a rule of three invitations and three refusals, which showcases the elegance of these experts and their lack of attachment to power."
"Not possible," Ji Mo said, "Brother Wu Wang is a decisive person. If he refuses, and we still insist, we would really be forcing him."
Miaocuijiao sighed softly, and half of the male cultivators in the room felt weak in their bones.
She said, "The reason we are hesitating now is because we don't know what the sect master really thinks about the position of the sect master, or maybe he hasn't even thought about such matters."
"Not necessarily," Mao Aowu smiled, "Maybe the sect master is currently pondering in the small building, considering how to approach us."
The Great Elder drew a circle at random, and within it, a misty figure sleeping appeared in the blood mist, accompanied by clear snoring. The Great Elder quickly broke the circle.
The elders: ...
Miaocuijiao licked her soft lips and said, "Hmm... I suddenly have a good appetite."
"I've got it!"
Lin Qi snapped his fingers, "I have a plan!"
"Oh? What kind of plan?"
"I have inquired before. The former sect master died while crossing the Transcendent Tribulation, and the current teacher took over hastily without holding a formal ceremony for the succession of the sect master."
Lin Qi smiled, "Why don't we make some preparations? While the teacher is asleep, we can decorate the valley, hang lanterns, lay a red carpet in the main hall, and invite the girls from Guantao Tower to come back and dance, with everyone in the sect bowing to the sect master.
In this way, the position of the sect master will be officially assumed, and the teacher will be very happy!"
Ji Mo frowned, "If Brother Wu Wang doesn't want it deep down, wouldn't this be forcing him?"
But Lin Qi said, "No, based on my research and understanding of the teacher's personality, the teacher will definitely speak out against our extravagance and waste.
The teacher is happy to be the sect master, and if we avoid the embarrassing matters of the past, the teacher won't mention them either.
Now is the time to test whether we have a tacit understanding with the teacher!"
"Good! Let's decide on this!"
The Great Elder made a final decision on the spot and said loudly, "Two people will go to the sect master quietly and use a formation to wrap his residence, so as not to disturb him with any noise outside.
I will personally go out and invite some guests. Our sect master's official ascension cannot be without witnesses!"
Mao Aowu said, "I will also invite some friends from Renhuang Pavilion."
Ji Mo smiled, "I don't have many friends nearby, so I'll invite them to join in the fun."
"Be quick," Lin Qi reminded, "The teacher may wake up at any time. Let's set a half-day limit. As long as the teacher doesn't leave the small building, we will continue with the preparations.
That will be the teacher's consent."
"Good!"
"Let's take action and not delay any longer!"
"Sect master, officially ascended!"
Everyone's eyes were shining, and then they turned into streams of light and left.
The valley quickly became lively, and Wu Wang's residence was also covered with a thick soundproof formation.
...
Half a day later.
The extermination sect's residence was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, resembling the grand scene of a major festival in a mortal town.
Hundreds of female disciples of the Black Desire Sect wore colorful clothes and charming makeup, walking in groups and attracting the attention of the newly recruited disciples.
The mature disciples of the Extermination Sect, such as Mietian and Linfeng, no longer paid much attention to these female disciples. They were also chatting and discussing topics unrelated to women.
Ji Mo even found several acquaintances he had met at the Zui Xiang Tower in the crowd.
The five-member group from Guantao Tower was already rehearsing the dance, and the chefs brought back from Fuyu City were busy preparing. The spirit beasts waiting to be slaughtered trembled in the cages piled up like small mountains.
Outside the extermination sect, black winds swept and black clouds filled the sky. One by one, experts from the demonic path hurriedly arrived at the invitation of the Great Elder.
As newly promoted Transcendents, they naturally had to give face.The exceptional abilities of the Sect Master of the Extinguishing Sect were well-known to them.
Due to the urgency of time, they took advantage of Wu Wang's slumber to secretly set up a small formation. Given half a month's preparation time, the beast tide on the northern border had temporarily receded...
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
They had to turn this into a grand event of the demonic path!
The Great Elder, dressed in a blood robe, was busy welcoming and sending off guests in front of the Sect Master's hall.
Elder Miao, having changed into a fitting long skirt, found a corner inside the hall to sit, instantly commanding the attention of the men and women feasting there.
When Mao Aowu invited more than ten patrol immortals, the atmosphere in the hall was pushed to a small climax.
Lin Qi and Ji Mo were not idle either. The former was preparing to recite a congratulatory speech for his teacher, while the latter was leading a few disciples from the general's family to visit the old Sect Master's colorful crystal tomb, each of them expressing their admiration for the customs of the demonic sect.
Just as things were getting lively, an elder at the Heavenly Immortal realm, riding a black cloud, flew in from the direction of the Sect Master's small building. He was one of the two elders guarding there.
"Great Elder," the elder whispered, "Something seems off."
"Oh?"
The Great Elder slightly furrowed his brows, "What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate in the arrangements?"
"I mean, the Sect Master's condition is off," the elder whispered, "The Sect Master's body is surrounded by the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao of Fire, and these Dao Rhymes are converging, very mysterious, even I can't fully comprehend it.
Great Elder, the Sect Master is asleep!"
"Indeed, the Sect Master is asleep."
"Ah!" The elder waved his hands anxiously, "I mean, the Sect Master is asleep! Seventh stage, a deep sleep! Elemental Infant!"
The Great Elder instantly understood and immediately looked towards Wu Wang's residence.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from Wu Wang's loft, and two figures silently floated out of the second-floor window. It was Elder Mu pulling Lin Suqing, quietly slipping out.
Inside the small building, a ball of flame leaped up, with Wu Wang lying in the middle of it, still sound asleep.
The flame seemed to have no temperature, but the entire small building began to twist and deform continuously.
"This! The Sect Master has indeed had another epiphany!"
The elder said with a trembling voice, but the Great Elder reached out with both hands, displaying a shrinking earth into inches technique, and rushed directly to Wu Wang's small building. He carefully set up a layer of blood energy to completely cover the anomaly inside.
The identity of the little golden dragon absolutely could not be exposed.
However, wasn't the last epiphany in his dream about the Dao of Stars?
As the Great Elder was puzzled, he suddenly felt a wind rising from all sides, his blood-colored long hair and beard gently swaying towards the direction of the small building.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gathering!
