A brief silence fell over the hall.
Nangong Feng alternated between pondering and scrutinizing Qin Chuan.
After an unknown period of time, Nangong Feng stared at Qin Chuan and asked, “You said that you came to the Immortal realm in search of opportunities?”
Delighted, Qin Chuan thought that the fish had taken the bait. He clasped his hands and bowed. “Indeed.”
“although our Luo Ding Sect isn’t considered a top-notch faction in the Immortal Realm, we do have some capabilities and fame.
“If I invite the two of you to become disciples of our sect, would you agree? “asked Nangong Feng.
“Um?” Qin Chuan did not agree immediately. “Senior, I’ve killed a disciple of your sect. If we join your sect so easily, I’m afraid there will be some objections!”
Nangong Feng smiled. “I naturally won’t let the matter of you killing my sect’s disciple slide.
“Right now, you only have one choice.
“Become a disciple of my sect, but you still have to complete a mission. If you do, you will be able to atone for your crimes, and I will not pursue the matter of you killing my sect’s disciple.
“If you fail, you’ll have to face some punishments but they won’t endanger your life.”
“In that case, we have no other options!”
Nangong Feng said, “If you aren’t cultivators from the Lower realm and don’t have much potential, I can end your lives on the spot.
“Do you think you can get away with killing my sect’s disciple?”
Qin Chuan sighed helplessly. “Looks like I have no other choice. In that case, I’ll do as you say, Senior.”
“Elder Liang, please guide them through the procedures of registration for disciples. They will be under the disciplinary office,” instructed Nangong Feng.
Liang Qiujing dared not voice any objections. “Let’s go!”
After that, he led Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi out of the disciplinary hall.
After they left, Qian Dian couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Nangong, we haven’t investigated the identities of these two people yet. Aren’t we being a little too reckless by recruiting them so quickly?”
Nangong Feng said, “Elder Qian, you don’t have to worry about that.
“We can slowly investigate their identities, but we have an important matter that would require them.”
Qian Dian faltered and frowned.
Even though he was an elder, he was still one of the lowest-ranked figures in the sect. There were many things that he did not know about in the Luo Ding Sect.
Nangong Feng turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and said calmly, “Two days ago, the authorities informed us that Demons from the Moon Demon realm will be arriving in half a month’s time.”
“What? Demons?” asked Qian Dian and Yun Maohua, stunned.
Qian Dian said, “What are those thieves doing here?”
Nangong Feng said indifferently, “What else? Of course they’re here to challenge us!”
Qian Dian said, “I remember that the Demons’ challenge only happens once every thousand years! Less than 300 years have passed since the last challenge.”
Yun Maohua also added, “The last time the Demons left after a major defeat, they lost a number of their talented juniors. It seems like this happens every time they challenge us.
“The reason they’ve come so early this time is probably to send themselves to death.”
However, Qian Dian had a different opinion. “Based on what I know, the reason why the Demons suffered such a huge defeat last time was because many of their talented juniors were cultivating in seclusion. The reason why they are here this time is probably because those juniors have left seclusion and
they are to wash off their previous humiliation.”
Yun Maohua said, “Elder Qian, there are many talented individuals in the Immortal realm. The Demon race has many freaks, but do we humans not have any?”
Qian Dian retorted, “Demons aren’t stupid, after all. They must be confident enough to come challenge us.”
Yun Maohua waved his hand and was about to say something but was stopped by Nangong Feng.
“You are right, Elder Yun. Humans do have many talented individuals and plenty of freaks, but that’s only if we look across the entire Immortal realm.
“The Demons first stop for this challenge is us, the Luo Ding Sect.”
Qian Dian and Yun Maohua were particularly shocked by these words.
They had some understanding of their own freakish disciples. Set against the juniors of the Demon Race, the outcome would be hard to say.
The rules of the Demon race’s challenge were simple; both sides would send out cultivators below the Immortal realm for a one-on-one fight.
Spirit pills were not allowed during the duel, and magical artifacts were stipulated to be below the immortal grade.
In addition to these two aspects, they could unleash whatever power he wanted. Forbidden techniques and secret techniques could all be used.
“Elder Nangong, I now understand why you recruited two Lower realm cultivators,” said Qian Dian after some thought.
Qian Dian continued. “Elder Nangong, you are going to have these two Lower realm cultivators participate in the match.”
Nangong Feng smiled. “That’s right, but not both of them. That fellow who mastered the Law of Gravity is definitely qualified.”
Qian Dian nodded. That was true.
That was the Law of Gravity; without peerless talent and great luck, it was very difficult to master.
On the other side.
Under Liang Qiujing’s guidance, Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi entered the sect register.
Liang Qiujing arranged for Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi to stay in two small rooms.
They were both official disciples of the disciplinary office.
As official disciples of the discipline office, they enjoyed the benefits of housing.
This wasn’t the case for other offices.
‘When they arrived at the rooms, Liang Qiujing gave them a large basket of books.
These books included sect rules, the founding and development of the Luo Ding Sect, the distribution of sects and factions, sect industrial chains, and so on.
“From now on, you are both disciples of the Luo Ding Sect.
“Among the many factions in the Immortal Realm, the Luo Ding Sect is considered in the middle-front in terms of overall strength.
“You are lucky to have joined the sect.
“Stay in the disciplinary office for the next few days to familiarize yourself with the various sects and major factions in the Immortal realm. If you provoke any powerful factions outside, the sect might not be able to protect you.”
After giving his instructions, Liang Qiujing left.
Inside the house,
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi were among a basket of books.
“What do we do next, Old Qin? Should we find an opportunity to escape?” asked Dan Yangzi.
Qin Chuan gave him a disdainful look. With a book in hand, he pointed at the contents. “Old Dan, did you become a fool after returning to the Immortal Realm?
“They are a top second-tier faction, and they have 68 Immortal Kings in their records.
“You think you can escape? What are you thinking?”
Dan Yangzi said disdainfully. “At the end of the day, they’re just a second-tier faction. My sect is a first-tier faction with over a hundred Immortal Kings and my Grand Elder is a half-step Immortal Emperor. The Luo Ding Sect is nothing to me.”
Qin Chuan laughed. “Stop bragging. Since your sect is so powerful, hurry up and call them for backup!”
Dan Yangzi immediately felt helpless. “My status is rather special now, so I won’t be getting anyone for now.”
“Then why are you talking? It’s best if you stay in the Luo Ding Sect and don’t cause any trouble,” said Qin Chuan.
“Forget it. I’m too lazy to argue with you!” said Dan Yangzi defiantly.
There was silence for a moment.
Dan Yangzi said, “Old Qin, you came to the Immortal realm to investigate the Qingyun Sect. Are you not going to do that now?”
Qin Chuan put down his book. “An investigation is necessary, but there’s no hurry.
“We are now disciples of a second-tier faction, and Qingyun Sect is only a third-tier faction. Once we gain a foothold in the Luo Ding Sect, an investigation will be easy.
“Now, a plan has come to mind.”
Dan Yangzis eyes lit up.. “What plan?”
