The madman sect master (Part one)

The five senior brothers and sisters, Asura Sect Master, were introduced to Zhuge Xiang one by one.

Standing at the head of the group was a man who looked to be around thirty years old. He had an arrogant expression on his face, as if he were born superior to others. His tall and slender figure was like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath. When Luo Ba began to introduce him, he also looked Zhuge Xiang up and down.

"This is your second senior brother, named Dai Buming. His Swordsmanship is so exceptional that I believe he would be hard to find a match for below the Void Returning Stage," Luo Ba said, pointing to the man at the head of the group. The Data Eye could not see the man's level information at all, whereas it could see it even when it was a Middle Grade Five-Star Ascending Heaven Divine Tree. Clearly, his strength surpassed that of the tree.

"I've long heard of Junior Brother's reputation, and seeing him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he has caught Master's eye," said Dai Buming, the second senior brother, upon hearing Luo Ba's introduction. After the two exchanged greetings, Luo Ba pointed to a woman beside him and introduced her to Zhuge Xiang.

This woman appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was dressed provocatively, with a mysterious pattern peeking out from her half-exposed, fair breasts. The meaning of the pattern was unclear. She wore a faint smile, yet it seemed as if the smile was directed at you. Every gesture she made exuded the charm of a mature woman. Unlike Lu Yuling's innocence, this woman radiated a seductive allure that could bring ruin to a country.

"This is your third senior sister, Wu Xuemei."

Luo Ba began his introduction, which made Wu Xuemei chuckle. She boldly scanned Zhuge Xiang from head to toe, and said with a smile, "Master truly has discerning eyes! Not only has she found such a lovely girl as Junior Sister Lu, but also such a handsome young man as Junior Brother Zhuge. Junior Brother Zhuge, you must get closer to your senior sister in the future!"

Her giggling laughter and bold gaze carried an unusual allure, causing Zhuge Xiang's heart to race. A reflexive impulse surged within him, a desire to pull Wu Xuemei tightly into his arms. Fortunately, at that moment, Zhuge Xiang's Sword Soul stirred, extinguishing all these delusions.

"That's for sure," Zhuge Xiang said, his expression turning serious. He inwardly exclaimed in astonishment at the terrifying allure of Wu Xuemei.

Seeing that Zhuge Xiang's eyes were actually clear and bright under her charm, Wu Xuemei looked at Zhuge Xiang with some surprise, but didn't say anything, because at this time, Luo Ba had already introduced another senior brother to Zhuge Xiang.

"This is your third senior brother, Luo Xiaobai." Speaking of his third senior brother, Luo Ba's expression darkened, clearly indicating he didn't like him.

Third Senior Brother Luo Xiaobai appeared refined and scholarly, dressed in a pure white scholar's robe and holding a white jade folding fan. He gave off a scholarly air and didn't seem like a disciple of the Demonic Sect like the Asura Sect. Instead, he looked more like a scholar who had studied diligently for years.

Luo Xiaobai noticed the Sect Master's expression, but he seemed used to the Sect Master's dislike. He lightly shook his folding fan, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhuge Xiang, and said in a refined tone, "It is fate that we can become fellow disciples with Junior Brother Zhuge. From now on, we brothers must take care of each other."

"Yes, Third Senior Brother," Zhuge Xiang replied with a nod.

For a demonic Sect like the Asura Sect to have such a scholarly disciple is indeed unusual. It's no wonder that Luo Ba doesn't like him very much. However, since he can become Luo Ba's disciple, he must have something extraordinary about him. Moreover, Zhuge Xiang can also see that the Sect Master Luo Ba's dislike for him is not true hatred, but rather a feeling of disappointment that he is not living up to expectations.

The fourth senior brother, named Yuan Santong, wielded a Purple-Gold staff. He appeared to be around thirty years old, always with a stern face, devoid of any expression. He spoke in a very proper and conventional manner. Although his demeanor was not cold, he gave the impression of being an iron-faced judge.

Fifth senior sister, Leng Hongling, looked young, but her cultivation was quite high. She wore countless bells that jingled as she walked. She had a very cheerful personality, and as the Sect Master introduced her, she said to Zhuge Xiang with a grin, "Master has been so kind lately. I was originally the junior sister, but now, not only has he found a junior sister, but he's also brought a junior brother for me to bully."

"...", so this girl has a junior brother, and that's why she's bullying him? These words left Zhuge Xiang truly speechless.

The sixth senior sister, needless to say, is Lu Yuling, who entered the sect earlier than Zhuge Xiang. Together with Zhuge Xiang, there are seven of them, who are the True Disciple of Luo Ba, the sect Asura Sect Master Luo Ba.

Second senior brother Dai Buming, third senior sister Wu Xuemei, fourth senior brother Yuan Santong, fifth senior sister Leng Hongling, sixth senior sister Lu Yuling...

"By the way, what about the Senior Brother or sister?" Including himself, there were a total of seven True Disciples, but now there are only six. Zhuge Xiang asked Luo Ba in surprise.

Upon hearing this question, Luo Ba remained silent, offering no answer. Even the expressions of his senior brothers and sisters changed slightly. Then, the second senior brother Dai Buming, whispered to Zhuge Xiang, "Our eldest senior sister, Ice Maiden, has been suppressed at the bottom of the East Sea due to Qi Deviation."

"Oh, I understand," Zhuge Xiang nodded, realizing that although he had heard that Ice Maiden the senior disciple of the Asura Sect, he really didn't know that she was also a disciple of the Asura Sect Master. No wonder there were only six of the seven True Disciple here.

After all the fellow disciples had met, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began. The Supreme Peak was bustling with activity and excitement.

Almost all the major powers in the Great Qin Empire, including the top leaders, gathered here, as if this were not the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Asura Sect Master, but a grand gathering of the Cultivation World.

Although the apprenticeship ceremony was grand, its core essence was just that: in front of all the powerful figures present, Zhuge Xiang formally performed the apprenticeship ceremony to Luo Ba, Luo Ba sect Asura Sect Master, and offered him the apprenticeship tea. Luo Ba accepted the apprenticeship tea from Zhuge Xiang, which marked the completion of the ceremony. Thus, throughout the Great Qin Empire, Zhuge Xiang's identity was confirmed as the True Disciple of Luo Ba, the Asura Sect Master of the Shura Sect.

After the ceremony concluded, representatives of the various powerful factions naturally stepped forward one after another to thank Luo Ba. As the host, Luo Ba naturally responded with a smile, maintaining proper etiquette. Compared to the congratulations from the demonic Sect, the congratulations from Righteous Path sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect were far more insincere, even their smiles were forced and insincere.

"I've heard that Zhuge Xiang of your Asura Sect has a great conflict with Myriad Flowers Elder. I wonder what Sect Master Myriad Flowers Elder's open acceptance of Zhuge Xiang as a disciple today?" At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

In the Great Qin Empire, among the Nine Great Sects, Luo Ba is definitely among the top in terms of individual strength, even second to none. However, in terms of the Sect power, the Asura Sect is almost at the bottom. The person who spoke was Qing Xuzi, the Great Elder of Kunlun Mountain, the leader of the Nine Great Sects.

Upon hearing this, a solemn silence fell upon Supreme Peak. All the powerful figures focused their gazes on Luo Ba. Qing Xuzi's words were clearly a provocation against the internal conflicts within the Asura Sect. It remained to be seen how he, as the Sect Master, would respond.

Moreover, these Cultivators had also heard rumors about Zhuge Xiang, who triggered the Thunder Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace but died at the hands of Myriad Flowers Elder.

Faced with Qing Xuzi's question, Luo Ba's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not noticed the provocation. He still wore a calm smile and said, "Regarding this matter, Myriad Flowers Elder and I had already reached a consensus long ago. We all acknowledge Zhuge Xiang's talent. Myriad Flowers Elder, as a senior member of the Asura Sect, although there may be some unpleasantness between her and my disciple, she would not hold a grudge against a junior."

"As far as I know, Myriad Flowers Elder was caught off guard by Zhuge Xiang and his body was destroyed. I wonder if this is true? How can such a conflict be put aside? I don't believe it. I hope Sect Master Luo can invite Myriad Flowers Elder out so that we can verify it." Shaking his head, Qing Xuzi was not willing to give up and continued.

"Nonsense! This is an internal matter of my Asura Sect. It seems to have nothing to do with your Kunlun Mountain!" Hearing Qing Xuzi's relentless questioning, a Void Realm elder beside him couldn't help but speak up and angrily rebuked him.

"Of course, this matter is originally your Asura Sect's business, and Kunlun Mountain has no time to interfere. However, the Asura Sect is one of the Nine Great Sects of our Great Qin Empire. To disregard the dignity of the Void Realm elder for the sake of a so-called Genius Disciple is unacceptable. If this matter were to spread throughout the Great Qin Empire, it would be more than just a matter of losing face for your Asura Sect. That is why I asked this question."

Qing Xuzi spoke passionately and righteously, even if he was deliberately provoking internal conflicts within the Asura Sect, he still placed himself in a superior position.

In fact, the problem between Zhuge Xiang and Myriad Flowers Elder was indeed resolved, but how could they possibly get Myriad Flowers Elder to testify?

Her physical body was destroyed by Zhuge Xiang; how could such hatred be forgiven? To admit it in front of the top figures of the Great Qin Empire —how could Myriad Flowers Elder possibly have any face to walk in the Great Qin Empire afterward?

Looking at Qing Xuzi, no one knew what Luo Ba was thinking. His expression remained calm. After Qing Xuzi finished speaking, Luo Ba waved his hand, stopping the elder who was about to speak, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuzi is indeed right. If I handle this unfairly, it would be truly shameful if word got out."

"Oh? Since Sect Master Luo also thinks what I said makes sense, then please ask Sect Master Myriad Flowers Elder to come out and personally confirm it," Qing Xuzi said, slightly taken aback upon hearing Luo Ba's words, which actually agreed with him.

"Of course," Luo Ba nodded, agreeing with Qing Xuzi's words.

However, he didn't summon Myriad Flowers Elder directly. Instead, he looked around at the representatives of all the surrounding forces and then asked, "However, Daoist Qing Xuzi seems to be merely an elder in Kunlun Mountain. With your status, you're not even qualified to represent Kunlun Mountain? Yet you're representing the entire Great Qin Empire to question my Asura Sect. I wonder if anyone here thinks Daoist Qing Xuzi is qualified to represent them? Please state your opinion." (To be continued...)
