Extreme Yin Sect

Zhou Siyi took a seat beside Yu Wen and exchanged a few casual words with Xiao Chen and the others.

A quarter of an hour later, another man and woman, both Golden Core cultivators, arrived.

"Xiao Chen, what exactly have you gathered us here for this time?" asked a male cultivator wreathed in blood qi.

This man was Ding Yan, a mid-stage Golden Core devil cultivator of the Blood Dao.

A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's aged face.

"I invited everyone here this time for two reasons. First, to encourage exchanges among us, so that we may trade what each other needs. Second, as I have mentioned to you at several previous gatherings, Primordial Unity Temple wishes to secretly recruit us. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts. After all, we Rogue Cultivators of Forgotten World Ridge are one body. Only by advancing and retreating together can we gain a foothold in the cultivation world and avoid being oppressed by the sects."

"Xiao Chen, you've already thrown in your lot with Primordial Unity Temple, haven't you? That's why you keep coming to act as their lobbyist."

Ding Yan sneered and continued.

"Primordial Unity Temple is a great orthodox sect, while all of us are Devil Dao cultivators. We are naturally at odds with them. Rather than becoming Primordial Unity Temple's hidden pawns, why not openly join a Devil Dao Sect?"

Xiao Chen's expression chilled, and his icy gaze swept over Ding Yan.

"Joining a devil sect means submitting to the sect's control. How could we remain as carefree and unfettered as we are now? Primordial Unity Temple has promised not to interfere with our daily cultivation. They merely require us to secretly cooperate with some of their actions. Moreover, should we encounter danger, we may seek Primordial Unity Temple's protection."
