The Investiture of the Gods Summons You

Outside a thatched hut in the back mountain of the Shangqing Sect.

"Why are you running away? I'm offering you a great opportunity, and you're still running? You're still the same fool you were a thousand years ago!"

Qiu Yunzi was pinned down by Mo Xie, his mouth full of weeds from the ground. He had no choice but to grab them off and throw them aside. "Pah! You old thief Mo Xie, if I still believed you like I did over a thousand years ago, I'd be a real fool. Let me go! I'll miss this opportunity, and I don't want the great chance you offered me."

"Slap!" Mo Xie grabbed Qiu Yunzi's head and slapped him hard, looking at him with a disappointed expression, and said, "I really wasted my kindness back then. I should have just slapped you to death."

Even if you beat me to death, I will never believe you again.

Clearly, Qiu Yunzi harbored deep Grudge towards Mo Xie, which made Mo Xie somewhat uncomfortable. She got up from Qiu Yunzi, kicked her lightly, and said, "Why don't you listen to what I have to say before making a decision?"

Qiu Yunzi scrambled to her feet, shook the dust off her clothes, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and said, "Farewell!"

He then turned to go inside.

Mo Xie appeared in front of Qiu Yunzi in an instant, blocking his path, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Wait! Listen to this first, I think you'll like it."

Mo Xie's shameless behavior also gave Qiu Yunzi a headache, so she could only snort coldly, turn her face to the side, and say, "Go ahead and say it."

However, he had made up his mind that no matter how eloquently Mo Xie spoke, he would not believe him this time. He would rather spend the rest of his life in the Shangqing Sect than experience the pain of being deceived by Mo Xie again.

"Hehe." Mo Xie didn't care. With a wave of his hand, the Investiture of the Gods scroll appeared in his hand.

"You're in luck, old friend. The Mysterious Bookstore is recruiting thirty-six employees, and you're honored to be on the list," Mo Xie said enviously, patting the scroll in his hand.

Qiu Yunzi glanced at the Investiture of the Gods in Mo Xie's hand, his brows furrowing slightly. He sensed a particularly powerful Spiritual Power fluctuation emanating from the scroll, along with a faint but palpable pressure that made him feel a tremor deep within his heart.

"The Mysterious Bookstore is hiring?" Qiu Yunzi asked suspiciously. He naturally knew the name of the Mysterious Bookstore, especially since the news of Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy, entering the Immortal Realm had been spreading like wildfire these past two days, which had brought the Mysterious Bookstore's reputation to a high point.

In the Azure Dragon Continent today, it's hard to find anyone who doesn't know about the Mysterious Bookstore. However, knowing about it doesn't necessarily mean going there.

"Please thank the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore for my kindness, but I don't want to go," Qiu Yunzi said, withdrawing her gaze from the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods scroll and bowing.

Having said that, Qiu Yunzi bypassed Mo Xie and prepared to go inside.

"Whoosh!" Mo Xie suddenly opened the Investiture of the Gods, chanting incantations. Immediately afterward, golden light shone brightly on the Investiture of the Gods, and Qiu Yunzi was sucked in before she could react.

"Snap!" The golden light disappeared, and the three large characters "Qiu Yunzi" on the Investiture of the Gods were now marked with a checkmark, signifying that he had been successfully absorbed.

"You won't listen to any nice words, you insist on me using force. You shameless woman, you're just being pretentious." Mo Xie closed the Investiture of the Gods and put it into his spatial ring.

"Next, next." Mo Xie waved his hand and rode away on a cloud.

"Da da da"

A moment later, a group of elders from the Shangqing Sect arrived at the scene. After inspecting the area, they looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

The Supreme Elder has disappeared!

Over the next few days, a particularly strange thing happened in the Qi State Kingdom: many people from various sects and forces, those with high cultivation levels, beautiful appearances, and outstanding talents, were taken away by a person dressed in a dark robe.

Whether one submits or rebels, fate remains the same.

Before long, rumors began to circulate that being taken away by this person in the dark robe was likely to be a terrible fate. Immediately, all the major sects and forces within the Qi State were on high alert, especially those with high cultivation, outstanding talent, and beautiful appearance, who all went into hiding, fearing that they would be found by him.

There was nothing they could do. It was said that the person in the dark robe was extremely powerful, and no one could withstand a single blow from him wherever he went. They were powerless to resist, and the only option was to hide and hope that he wouldn't find them.

On this day, within the territory of the Divine Dragon Sect.

"Is Lady Yin Ruxue, wife of the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, here? The Investiture of the Gods requests your presence!"

The long, drawn-out sound rolled in, and everyone in the Divine Dragon Sect was shocked.

"Quickly report to the sect leader, that old thief in black robes has arrived!"

"This is terrible! This time the target is our cult leader's wife!"

"Madam, run! Don't let that old thief in black robes catch you!"

This is cowardly.

"What kind of demon dares to trespass on my Divine Dragon Sect!"

"Men, form a battle formation and stop him!"

This is extremely loyal and stubborn.

Mo Xie waved her hand, and below, figures flew about in a chaotic mess, crashing into trees or ending up upside down in the fields.

"Whoosh"

Mo Xie appeared before a follower in an instant and asked with a gentle smile, "Young brother, do you know where your sect leader's wife is?"

The follower was also quite frightened, trembling and unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Hmm?" Mo Xie frowned, a little unhappy. This young man wasn't getting it!

"I... I will not tell you that the leader's wife is in the council hall!" This follower looked defiant, closing his eyes, raising his head, and standing tall and proud.

However, he pointed in a certain direction...

"Hmm... Young man, your future is limitless. What's your name?" Mo Xie nodded in approval, quite pleased.

"My name is Lin Dong!"

"A good name, you're destined for great things!" Mo Xie patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and then disappeared in an instant.

Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. The pressure from such a powerful figure was far too terrifying for someone as insignificant as him. Even though Mo Xie wasn't targeting Lin Dong, it was still difficult for him to withstand.

"Oh!" Suddenly, Lin Dong remembered something.

"Did I betray the sect leader's wife?" Lin Dong's face instantly fell, but then he looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him.

"Never mind him. He betrayed the sect leader's wife. If he gets caught, he's finished. Rather than die from the sect's torture, I, Lin Dong, would rather go down the mountain and try my luck for a bright future!" With that, Lin Dong scrambled to his feet and ran down the mountain without looking back.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Dong ran to the mountainside when a startled cry suddenly came from the sky.

Lin Dong looked up and saw the black-robed man standing on clouds, opening something that looked like a scroll. The sect leader's wife flew directly inside, and the Growl came from that moment.
