Dancing

"Oh, you're here. Hurry up and dance with Chen Xin. This is an opportunity bestowed by the sect master—dancing can help you break through," Bibi Dong said with a smile as she looked at Qian Daoliu and the others.

Uh...

"No, no. What opportunity could there be here?" Qian Daoliu hurriedly waved his hands.

The others thought the same way. What kind of dance would a bunch of grown men do?

Even if they starved to death today or left this place, they would not dance even a little.

Gu Rong stroked his chin and stared intently at Chen Xin as he danced, his thoughts running wild. "Damn, Chen Xin actually looks pretty good when he dances. Have I been single for so long that even Chen Xin looks handsome now?"

[ Ding! Chen Xin has broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Tiangang Realm. Summoning Points +500 ]

He broke through?

Hearing the system prompt, Long Xiao looked at Chen Xin in utter surprise. Sure enough, Chen Xin seemed even more high-spirited, his sword aura sharp and imposing.

"Hahaha! I broke through! Peerless Dou... no, Ninth Layer of the Tiangang Realm!"

Chen Xin laughed excitedly. This was the realm he had dreamed of attaining. He quickly turned and cupped his hands toward Long Xiao. "Thank you, Sect Master, for granting me this opportunity."

"Mm. This is your own gain. I merely gave you a push," Long Xiao said calmly.

"Sect Master, Xue'er wants to become stronger too." Qian Renxue gave him a sweet smile, then grabbed Long Xiao's arm and shook it as she coquettishly asked, "Sect Master, can I keep dancing?"

"Ahem." Seeing Qian Renxue acting like this, Bibi Dong hurriedly coughed to remind her. I'm still standing right here. Does this girl have any regard for me at all?

She was supposed to be the number one virtuous helper.

Long Xiao stroked Qian Renxue's head and said indulgently, "Of course. The stronger you become, the happier I'll be. Truly."

His words made Qian Renxue blush. The stronger she became, the happier the sect master would be?

Why did those words carry a different kind of meaning?

"Thank you, Sect Master. You're the best." Qian Renxue secretly kissed Long Xiao.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth. I want to become stronger too!

"Chen Xin, what exactly is going on with you?"

Gu Rong was completely baffled.

How had this guy broken through just by dancing?

"This is an opportunity bestowed by the sect master. See that big black box that can sing? As long as you dance to its rhythm, the Sea of Qi in your dantian will cultivate automatically. The efficiency is very high."

Chen Xin did not hide anything from his old friend.

After hearing Chen Xin's explanation, they believed him as well. The sect master certainly would not lie to them.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with a beaming smile. "Hehe, Xue'er, Grandpa is old now and wants to stretch his old bones. Teach Grandpa a few moves, will you?"

Gu Rong said, "Sigh, that old fellow Qian Daoliu insisted on dragging me along to stretch our bones. I had no choice."

Dugu Bo said, "Same here. I originally didn't want to come, but this old bone insisted on making me accompany Qian Daoliu. I couldn't help it. It's all because I'm too kind and love doing good deeds."

Seeing that the old fellows were interested, Qian Renxue covered her mouth and giggled. She absolutely had to make them do some hip-shaking dances.

"Xue'er, you don't have an official duty yet, so I'll leave this speaker in your care. You'll be specifically responsible for everyone's dance cultivation," Long Xiao instructed.

"Yes, Sect Master. Rest assured."

Qian Renxue was overjoyed. This speaker was the sect master's divine artifact. If she secretly danced with it, wouldn't her cultivation undergo a qualitative leap?

Only when she was stronger would the sect master feel more accomplished when spending time with her.

That must have been what he meant earlier. That was why he had given her this opportunity.

Keep it up, Qian Renxue! You can do it!

Demon Cloud Sect.

Sect Master Mo Yunli and the elders sat in a secret chamber holding a meeting. They had received Azure City's reply letter and were discussing a plan.

Mo Yunli read the four words on the letter several times, unable to make sense of them no matter how hard he thought.

"Destroy your mom's pen..."

"I recognize every single one of these words, but why do I have no idea what they mean when they're put together?

Unable to understand the meaning, he felt there had to be some conspiracy behind it.

An elder held the letter and analyzed it. "The words 'destroy you' are easy enough to understand, but what is this 'mom's pen'?"

The other elderly demonic cultivators also began racking their brains.

"Sect Master, aren't you an orphan? It probably has nothing to do with your mother."

"I understand now. This 'mom's pen' must be either a person or an object. As long as we find someone called Mom's Pen, or find this object, we should understand."

Mo Yunli was very satisfied with the elders' analyses.

Though they were old, their minds were still sharp. They were his right-hand men.

"That makes sense. I'll send people to search for it later. How many people do you think would be suitable to send to Azure City?"

A gleam flashed in the Great Elder's cloudy eyes as he smiled. "Hehe, since we notified them in advance, that brat Xu Zhong should have reported it to the imperial family. The imperial family should have made some preparations. We might as well use this opportunity to show the outside world the strength of our Demon Cloud Sect. This old man shall lead eight Tiangang Realm experts from the sect there. We can also see the imperial family's attitude."

Hiss!

The other elders all drew sharp breaths!

For a tiny Azure City, they were actually dispatching the Great Elder and eight Tiangang Realm experts. The city lord was merely someone who had just broken through to the Tiangang Realm.

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, Mo Yunli immediately stood up in excitement. "Good! Then I'll trouble the Great Elder to make the trip. It is time for our Demon Cloud Sect to emerge into the world."

"This time, who in the Big Dipper Dynasty can stop our rise!"

The Great Elder chuckled. "No matter. I have nothing better to do anyway."

The next morning.

"Everyone, get in. If we squeeze in, we should all fit."

Long Xiao walked over to the Lamborghini and opened the door. There were no fines here anyway.

Qian Renxue jolted into action and quickly took the front passenger seat closest to Long Xiao, nearly angering her own mother to death.

Hong Chan and Xu Jiaojiao had long wanted to ride in the sect master's divine vehicle. Their hearts raced with excitement as they sat in the back.

Bibi Dong could only helplessly take a seat in the rear as well.

"Let's go."

The engine started, and the Lamborghini slowly drove out of the courtyard.

Everyone leaned against the windows, admiring the scenery along the way.

The women chatted and laughed merrily while Long Xiao drove the Lamborghini one-handed, his melancholy gaze exceptionally alluring.

Back on Blue Star, he had also wanted to become a man who drove a Ferrari one-handed.

Before long, they arrived at Azure City. Many residents along the way cast curious looks at Long Xiao's car, all the way until it drove into Qing City Lord's Manor.

Qian Daoliu, Tang San, and the others had already arrived. This time, everyone had come except Mo Duo, who stayed behind to guard the home.

When the Lamborghini entered Qing City Lord's Manor, everyone in the hall gathered around. Their reactions were much the same as those of the people outside.

"Sect Master Long."

"Lord Imperial Envoy."

Xu Zhong and Cai Yuntian hurried over to welcome them.

They did not dare neglect them. These were their saviors, their powerful backers, their true benefactors.

They had to cling tightly to this thigh.

"I have already arranged a banquet. Please come this way."
