Dancing

"Oh, you're here. Hurry and dance with Chen Xin. This is an opportunity bestowed by the Sect Master. You can break through just by dancing." Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu and the others with a smile.

Uh...

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

The others thought the same way. Why would a bunch of grown men dance?

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

Gu Rong stroked his chin, staring intently at Chen Xin as he danced, his mind wandering. "Damn, Chen Xin actually looks pretty good when he dances. Have I been single for so long that even Chen Xin looks handsome to me?"

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

He broke through?

Upon hearing the system prompt, Long Xiao looked at Chen Xin in astonishment. Sure enough, he had become even more 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 around and cupped his fists toward Long Xiao. "Thank you, Sect Master, for granting me this opportunity."

"Mhm. 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 smiled sweetly, 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 quickly coughed to remind her. I'm still standing right here. Is this girl trying to betray me?

She was supposed to be the first and greatest virtuous helper.

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

Those words made Qian Renxue blush. The stronger she became, the happier the Sect Master would be?

Why did those words seem to carry another 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?"

Gu Rong was utterly confused.

How had this guy broken through just from 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 would certainly not deceive them.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with a smile. "Hehe, Xue'er, your grandfather is getting old. I just want to loosen up these old bones. Teach your grandfather a few moves."

Gu Rong said, "Sigh, this old fellow Qian Daoliu insisted on dragging me along to loosen up. I had no choice."

Dugu Bo said, "Same here. I didn't want to come, but this old fellow insisted on dragging me here to accompany Qian Daoliu. I had no choice. 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 chuckled. She had to make them do some butt-wiggling dances.

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

"Alright, 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 became stronger would the Sect Master feel more accomplished when spending time with her.

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

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

Demon Cloud Sect.

Sect Master Mo Yunli and the elders were holding a meeting in a secret chamber. They had received a reply from Azure City, so they were discussing their plan.

Mo Yunli read the four words in the letter several times, but he could not make heads or tails of them.

"Destroy your mom's pen..."

"I recognize every single character, but why don't I know what they mean when they're put together?

Unable to understand the meaning behind it, he felt there had to be some sort of scheme.

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

The other elderly demonic cultivators also began pondering deeply.

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

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

Mo Yunli was very satisfied with the elders' analysis.

They might be old, but 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 we should send to Azure City?"

The Grand Elder's cloudy eyes gleamed as he smiled. "Hehe, since we gave them advance notice, that brat Xu Zhong should have reported it to the imperial court. The imperial court should have made some preparations. We can use this chance to show the outside world the strength of our Demon Cloud Sect. I will lead eight Tiangang Realm experts from the sect there. It will also be a good opportunity to see the imperial court's attitude."

Hiss!

The other elders drew in sharp breaths!

For a mere Azure City, they were actually sending the Grand Elder and eight Tiangang Realm experts. The City Lord had only just broken through to the Tiangang Realm.

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Mo Yunli immediately stood up in excitement. "Good! Since that is the case, I'll have to trouble you, Grand Elder. 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 Grand Elder chuckled. "No matter. I have nothing better to do anyway."

The next morning.

"Get in the car. If we squeeze in, we should all fit."

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

Qian Renxue reacted instantly and quickly sat in the front passenger seat closest to Long Xiao. This nearly angered her own mother to death.

Hong Chan and Xu Jiaojiao had long wanted to ride in the Sect Master's divine vehicle, and they were incredibly excited as they sat in the back.

Bibi Dong could only helplessly sit in the back 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 with one hand, his melancholy gaze especially captivating.

Back on Blue Star, he had once 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, until it finally drove into Qing City Lord's Manor.

Qian Daoliu, Tang San, and the others had arrived long ago. Aside from Mo Duo, who had stayed behind to guard the house, everyone was here.

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."

"Imperial Envoy."

Xu Zhong and Cai Yuntian hurriedly came forward to greet them.

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

They had to hold tightly onto this support.

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