The Astonished Woman in Red

"Phoenixfall Slash!"

Fearing that these so-called Blue Silver Bindings might hold some hidden trick, the woman in red immediately swung her sword horizontally, unleashing an incredibly powerful flaming sword aura. This sword aura was enough to instantly kill someone at the First-Layer Tiangang Realm.

The scorching flaming sword aura burned every Blue Silver vine to ashes.

Tang San was startled as well and hurriedly used the Ghost Shadow Traceless Step to dodge!

She could break the Blue Silver Bindings in an instant. This woman was so strong that even the trident would probably be useless against her!

Everything happened in a flash. By the time the woman reacted, Tang San was already running up the mountain.

A wise man knew when to yield. This woman clearly had not come looking for a good time with him, so why would he not run?

Looking at the ashes of Blue Silver Grass scattered across the ground, the woman in red wore a disdainful expression. "All flash and no substance. Looks like I overthought it."

She raised her head to look at the mountain path, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Let's see what kind of sect is up here."

After putting away her longsword, the woman in red moved swiftly toward the mountain.

At the mountainside stood rows of brand-new buildings.

"Divine Sect?"

It was merely a small sect, and it looked as though it had only just been established.

That man's strength earlier meant he was at least a vice sect master, right? With that lecherous expression of his, the upper beam was crooked, so the lower beams must be crooked too.

Standing at the entrance and looking at the scene before her, the woman in red could not help frowning. The more she looked, the more she felt that this sect was far from simple.

"Why are you so good at chasing people?"

Tang San emerged from the bushes, holding his grass in his hand. Looking at the woman in red with considerable confidence, he said, "Don't do anything reckless. I may only be the gatekeeper, but my sect master is a supreme powerhouse. He could crush you with a single finger."

Hmm?

The woman in red was not surprised by the supreme powerhouse he mentioned, since it was obviously boasting. What surprised her was that Tang San was only a gatekeeper—and he even seemed a little proud of it.

"Little San, were you slacking off again? A few wild rabbits actually ran into the sect, and they're the kind with the worst-tasting meat!"

An angry shout came from within the sect. Immediately afterward, Qian Daoliu emerged, dressed in a white robe and carrying himself with an immortal air.

But when he saw the woman in red at the entrance, he froze. The woman in red stared back at him as well, her eyes deep and unreadable.

"Little San, who is this woman?"

Qian Daoliu asked. The woman in red's aura was not weaker than his at all—if anything, it was even stronger. He was a Tiangang Realm Peak expert.

He quickly sent secret messages to Gu Rong and the others.

The woman in red was somewhat confused. Why was there another Tiangang Realm expert this powerful? Could he be the sect master of this small sect?

"Qian Daoliu, what do you want from me?"

Gu Rong walked out with an unwilling expression, followed shortly by Chen Xin.

The woman in red was dumbfounded. Were Tiangang Realm experts as common as cabbages in this sect?

"Hey, who is this woman?" Gu Rong asked in confusion.

He and Chen Xin had both sensed at once that the woman in red was no ordinary person, so they did not dare act too arrogantly.

"You'll have to ask Little San about that." Qian Daoliu looked equally clueless.

The three of them turned their gazes toward Tang San. With all three staring at him, Tang San knew there was no way he could lie.

But before he could speak, the woman in red spoke for him, her voice perfectly calm.

"I met him at a brothel in Azure Cloud Town. He spoke disrespectfully to me, so I chased him all the way here."

"What?! A brothel!"

Qian Daoliu looked furious at his failure to live up to expectations and immediately walked over and kicked Tang San flying.

Tang San sat on the ground with a grievance-filled expression, not daring to argue. He could not beat this woman, so he could only rely on Qian Daoliu and the other two.

"You brat! You took the money we worked so hard to earn and went to a brothel? You couldn't even wait until after work? You neglected your duties? Fine, let's forget about that sow incident last time, but now you can't even hold back for a moment?" Gu Rong was furious too. If the sect master had not forbidden them from beating him to death, he truly would have wanted to kill this wastrel.

Chen Xin shook his head and sighed, no longer knowing what to say. Tang San had been decent when he was young. How was he any different from that Bu Le now that he had grown up?

"Miss, please. He offended you, so you can beat him however you like." Qian Daoliu made an inviting gesture toward the woman in red.

The woman in red found the situation rather absurd, but she had begun to grow curious about this so-called Divine Sect. How could a small sect have so many experts?

"Forget it. I'm not such a petty person. Still, I am rather curious about your sect. May I take a look around?" the woman in red asked.

"Of course, of course. Miss, please follow me."

With a kindly smile, Qian Daoliu led the woman in red into the sect.

Gu Rong came to his side and asked quietly, "Old fellow, why are you casually bringing people into the sect? Be careful of a trap. This woman isn't weak."

Qian Daoliu patted Gu Rong on the shoulder earnestly and sighed. "You're still too young."

"Do you think the sect master wouldn't know? With the sect master's abilities, he surely sees everything."

"Besides, this woman is so beautiful and so strong. Have you forgotten that our sect master likes this type? So the sect master must have tacitly allowed her to come in."

"Little Gu, your cultivation is still lacking. As the sect master's right-hand men, we must always discern his intentions and share his burdens. Understand?"

"As long as you work hard, with the sect master's blessing, you can become younger even after using the toilet."

Gu Rong sucked in a breath. No wonder he had spent so long studying in the bathroom last time and still could not figure out how Qian Daoliu had broken through. So it had been the sect master's doing. It seemed he was not enlightened enough.

The woman in red continuously surveyed the sect. She did not see any disciples, so she assumed it had only recently been founded and was waiting for the recruitment assembly seven days from now.

Suddenly, the sight ahead astonished her.

An elderly Tiangang Realm man in a red robe was scrubbing the wall of a building with all his might, rag in hand. His backside was raised high, and he hummed a tune with a radiant smile.

"Three circles left, three circles right, twist your neck, twist your butt~ The sect master's little tune really goes perfectly with cleaning toilets."

Mo Duo was immersed in his own world and did not notice anyone approaching at all.

When they were still several dozen meters away, the woman in red asked Qian Daoliu, "Is that building ahead some important place in the sect? Why is a Tiangang Realm expert cleaning it so carefully?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the woman in red with an odd expression. "Ahem, it's just the sect's toilet. That is our sect's toilet manager. Having a Tiangang Realm expert clean toilets is merely standard practice."

"A toilet?"

The woman in red nearly spat blood. Damn it, it was actually a toilet? Your Divine Sect used Tiangang Realm experts to clean toilets?

And he was cleaning it so happily?

There was probably no other place like this in the entire Big Dipper Dynasty.

"Hehe, everyone, do you need to use the toilet? I just cleaned it. Toilet paper is free, today only."

When Mo Duo saw Qian Daoliu and the others, he immediately greeted them warmly, though he could not help feeling that the woman in red looked somewhat familiar.

The woman in red felt the same way, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The person she knew was an elder of a major sect. Saying that he was here cleaning toilets was less believable than saying he ate shit.

"Use what toilet? We're showing a guest around the sect."

Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes at Mo Duo and continued leading the woman in red on the tour.

Before long, they arrived at the Pill Pavilion and happened to encounter Dugu Bo coming out to eat.

The woman in red was stunned again.

Another Tiangang Realm expert?

Did the Divine Sect have this many Tiangang Realm experts?

Wasn't this supposed to be a small sect? She felt like she had been scammed...

With such a foundation, even several nearby cities combined would likely struggle to suppress it.

"Miss, this is our Pill Pavilion. You must be hungry, right? Let me show you our dining hall."

Qian Daoliu believed this woman had Long Xiao's tacit approval, so he treated her carefully.

Recovering from her shock, the woman in red nodded and continued following Qian Daoliu around.

But when she arrived at the dining hall, she saw a teenage girl and a beautiful blonde woman cooking.

That beautiful blonde woman was actually a Tiangang Realm Sixth Layer expert too!

!!!

This sect was truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to introduce them, the woman in red interrupted him.

"No need to say anything. I understand. She is the dining hall supervisor."

"Uh..." Qian Daoliu scratched his head. That did seem to make sense. In any case, Xue'er had just arrived and did not yet hold any position.

"Grandfather, why are you here?"

Qian Renxue was delighted to see Qian Daoliu, but the moment she noticed a stranger standing beside him, she immediately became wary.

"Grandfather will introduce you. This is... uh, she is here to tour the Divine Sect." Qian Daoliu looked somewhat embarrassed, since he did not know how to introduce her.

Grandfather?

The woman in red had not expected this beautiful blonde woman to be his granddaughter. Their auras were indeed quite similar.

That meant this beautiful blonde woman's talent must be extraordinary. At such a young age, she had already reached the Tiangang Realm Sixth Layer.

"Sister Xue, your bull penis soup is ready!" Xu Jiaojiao shouted from inside the dining hall.

Qian Renxue nodded at the woman in red.

"Grandfather, I'm making bull penis soup for the sect master."

Qian Daoliu beamed, deeply gratified. Xue'er had grown up and knew how to share the sect master's burdens.

Sect master...

The woman in red lowered her gaze. She was growing increasingly curious about just what sort of person the Divine Sect's sect master was. What kind of expert could have so many Tiangang Realm followers?

He was probably at least a Diyuan Realm Peak expert. If so, this sect's strength would already be no less than that of major sects like the Demon Cloud Sect.

Inside the sect master's room.

Long Xiao and Bibi Dong had been working on a hardware-softening project and were a little tired.

He lay on the bed, utterly lifeless.

Bibi Dong thoughtfully covered Long Xiao with a blanket. This sect master was truly skilled at pretending to be weak.

"Sect Master, I have already sent word for Xue'er to make bull penis soup to nourish you. I'll go bring it over now."
