Dai Shixiong: Nothing That Happens This Time Will Surprise Me Anymore
"This is the Ask Dao Sect?" Qin Yanyan exclaimed in amazement as she stood before the Ask Dao Sect's gate.
As Five Great Immortal Sects, the Ask Dao Sect is exceptionally active in the cultivation world. Even a cultivator like Qin Yanyan, who rarely leaves home, has heard of the Ask Dao Sect's power.
Even Su Yiren, Su Yiren's mother, praised the power of the Ask Dao Sect, saying that it might be the strongest of the Five Great Immortal Sects Ask Dao Sect.
After passing through the Sect Protection Array, she could clearly feel the difference between this place and the outside world. The temperature and humidity had been artificially controlled to the most suitable level, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy had also been significantly increased, almost comparable to her own home.
It's important to know that there were only two people in her family: her mother, Su Yiren.
Even as a powerful cultivator in the Body Integration Realm, Su Yiren could only raise the Spiritual Qi concentration of a mountain to this level.
But the Ask Dao Sect covers an area of 100,000 li, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi is about the same as my own home, which is terrifying.
"Is this the foundation built over 120,000 years?"
As the three men and one woman entered the mountain gate and passed through a bamboo forest, the babbling river flowing through the forest rippled and surged upwards, forming a River Spirit.
"Halt! Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, who did you bring into the Ask Dao Sect?"
River Spirit, carrying two axes, one gold and one silver, stared at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with an unfriendly expression.
River Spirit serve as the defense line of the Ask Dao Sect, preventing villains from entering.
When the two vice leaders of the Immortal Sect entered the Ask Dao Sect, River Spirit did not stop them because Yun Zhi had secretly instructed him not to interfere.
Otherwise, even with Lu Yang leading them, the two vice leaders of the Immortal Sect wouldn't have been able to get through the door.
"This is Qin Yanyan, a relative of Junior Brother Li," Lu Yang introduced generously.
"Relatives?" River Spirit looked suspiciously at Qin Yanyan, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and then at Li Haoran expression was strange.
"I have information on all the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, how come I've never heard of Li Haoran having a relative named Qin Yanyan?"
Li Haoran thought to himself, "I didn't know either two months ago."
Lu Yang explained briefly, "It's like this, as you should know, Junior Brother Li has a fiancée."
River Spirit nodded.
"Junior Brother Li's fiancée has a daughter, Qin Yanyan."
River Spirit: "!"
When Meng Jingzhou heard River Spirit say that he had information on all the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, his eyes lit up. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Then you must know Senior Sister's age..."
Lu Yang suddenly became alert and reacted swiftly, kicking Meng Jingzhou away and interrupting his question.
If you want to die, don't drag everyone down with you!
"Li Haoran, is he telling the truth?" Based on her experience, River Spirit couldn't completely trust Lu Yang's words.
Li Haoran nodded hesitantly. "It's the truth."
River Spirit had great respect for Li Haoran and let the four of them pass.
"Go in. You know the sect's rules; there are some places you can't enter without permission."
The first place the four of them arrived at was the mission hall.
After all, their initial purpose in leaving the sect was to complete a mission.
Despite some unexpected events, the mission was ultimately accomplished.
"My dear niece, please wait at the entrance. The mission hall is a special place; you cannot enter without the permission of an elder," Lu Yang said apologetically to Qin Yanyan.
Qin Yanyan waited at the entrance of the mission hall. As a new face, the disciples coming and going would subconsciously glance at her. She was already shy, and she couldn't stand this kind of torment. She almost dug holes in her toes.
Suddenly, two figures caught Qin Yanyan's attention.
"I heard from Senior River Spirit that Senior Brother Lu is in the mission hall. Let's go find him and get some pointers!"
"Senior Sister Tao, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We'll run into Brother Lu eventually if we wait at the entrance of Heaven Gate Peak."
A man and a woman walked toward the mission hall while talking.
"Oh, a new face." The woman noticed Qin Yanyan, who seemed embarrassed and unsure of what to do with her hands and feet, and warmly went up to greet her.
"My name is Tao Yaoye, this is Man Gu, and who are you?"
"Senior brother, we've come to report on our mission," Lu Yang said to the senior brother on duty at the front desk.
"The ghost mission in Ancient Locust Town, right? Wait a moment." Behind him were piles of files. He turned around and skillfully pulled out a thin file from the bottom.
Strangely, even though I drew the bottom file, the mountain of files above remained completely unaffected and untouched.
Lu Yang keenly noticed that these files were not stacked one on top of another, but were suspended in the air. They were just so close together that they appeared to be piled up at first glance.
Lu Yang submitted the account of the incident, the certificate issued by Mayor Fan, and the evidence demonstrating the female ghost's harmlessness.
That senior brother had been on duty at the front desk of the mission hall for a long time and was very knowledgeable. Although using a female ghost as a gimmick to boost the local economy sounded absurd, according to this senior brother, Mayor Fan's actions were not the first of their kind.
However, this kind of thing cannot be publicized on a large scale, so it is little known.
"Junior Brother Lu, regarding your request in the report to file the three female ghosts with the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect, someone will be going to investigate on-site later."
The Ask Dao Sect subdues demons and monsters, but it doesn't kill them indiscriminately. For those demons and monsters that haven't harmed people, the Ask Dao Sect will register them after ensuring they have no history of harming people or pose no danger to people, so as to prevent them from being harmed by some righteous cultivators who cannot distinguish right from wrong.
If any righteous cultivators insist on eliminating Xiao Qi and the Three Ghosts, they only need to produce the registration certificate from the Ask Dao Sect, and the other party will wisely back down.
"In your report, you also said that the three female ghosts were absorbing yang energy under someone's orders. What's going on here?"
"This matter concerns the Demonic Sect, and I need to report it to Senior Brother Dai," Lu Yang said solemnly.
"Wait a moment, I'll let you know."
"Lu Yang and the others are going to report to me again?" At this moment, Dai Bufan's body shrank and was enveloped by a huge water sphere. There was not only Dai Bufan in the water sphere, but also sharks, whales, octopuses and other Demon Beast, baring their sharp teeth and staring at Dai Bufan menacingly.
Hearing that Lu Yang wanted to see him, he detached himself from the water sphere, his body returning to its original size. He opened his mouth and swallowed the water sphere along with the ferocious Demon Beast.
This is one of his fighting techniques: he can drag enemies into a water sphere, allowing the Demon Beast in the water to tear their bodies apart.
"Let them in."
Dai Bufan pondered. Besides Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran was also present this time. Could this situation be related to the Nine Nether Sect?
"How come these two always seem to have something to do with the Demonic Cult when they do missions?" Dai Bufan wondered, suspecting that birds of a feather flock together and that Lu Yang and the Demonic Cult were mutually attracted to each other.
However, this time, he wouldn't be surprised no matter what Lu Yang reported.
What else could it be? At most, it's successfully joining the Nine Netherworld Sect.
Lu Yang and his two companions found Dai Bufan, Lu Yang honestly confessed:
"Senior Brother Dai, the three of us have formed a new demonic cult."
