"Grand Elder!"
The people of the Demon Cloud Sect finally came to their senses. All ten Heavenly Dipper experts charged at Long Xiao, their multicolored spiritual energy exploding across the sky like fireworks.
"Courting death!"
Long Xiao gave a cold snort, and dense spiritual energy burst forth, forming golden ripples that swept in every direction.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ten Heavenly Dipper experts were sent flying backward, crashing into the ground and vomiting blood without end!
Hiss—
"My sect master is freaking incredible!"
"What Seven Demon Generals? They talked themselves up like crazy, but in front of the sect master, they're just toys."
Gu Rong once again began expressing his admiration for his sect master.
"Little Xixi, lead the others and capture the Seven Demon Generals. Kill everyone else."
"Yes."
Bo Saixi led the Divine Sect's Heavenly Dipper experts as they charged murderously toward the Demon Cloud Sect's people.
"You little punk, eat my Unfixed Storm."
After picking for a while, Tang San set his sights on a weak Diegang Realm cultivator. Carrying his own staff, he struck the man across the head.
The man's head burst open instantly. Tang San stepped on his corpse, sniffed, and said with a proud expression, "Although you're dead, remember this: I, Tang San, only kill evil people. The reason I killed you is because you had brought death upon yourself, understand?"
"That little brat is slacking off. His pay must be docked."
After glancing at the battle, Long Xiao flew toward the huge pit and lifted Mo Yu, who was lying inside, back into the air.
"My head is about to split apart!"
Mo Yu wore a miserable expression as he clutched his head. That kick earlier had hurt terribly.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Long Xiao held him up and mercilessly slapped him across the face.
Every swing of his hand produced a loud, crisp slap.
Who could endure such a beating?
Not to mention being insulted in public and having his dignity trampled!
This was simply more painful than death!
"Please spare me, Sect Master!" Mo Yu begged.
"Spare your mother!"
Several of Mo Yu's teeth were sent flying by a slap, and his face swelled up like a pig's.
In any case, no one here could hear him. It was fine to let his true nature out for once. After all, he had once been a model young man.
The identity of sect master had restrained his loving heart.
"Damn it, I was originally planning to take you back and have you clean toilets, but you're so ugly you'd probably scare future female disciples. And you're practically about to die of old age. If I bring you back, I'll even have to pay for your burial plot. What a loss."
Mo Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. He was the dignified Grand Elder of the Demon Cloud Sect, so why had he come here on his own initiative just to get beaten up?
And judging by this guy's words, he was not even qualified to clean toilets?
Was that something a human would say?
"Ah!!!"
Mo Yu suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream!
Long Xiao had crushed his two eggs, and his cultivation was continuously regressing!
"Hmph!"
Long Xiao tossed Mo Yu directly into the city square, then gestured for Gu Rong to come over and gave him a few instructions.
After receiving his orders, Gu Rong immediately went to the square and stepped on Mo Yu.
He took a deep breath, then shouted loudly.
"Don't miss this, folks! For just 999 gold coins, you can kick the Demon Cloud Sect's Grand Elder once!"
"Hurry up and tell all your family and friends!"
"This is a Diyuan Realm expert! Give him a kick, lose ten years, and you'll have stories to brag about in your village for years!"
"My Divine Sect guarantees fairness! Credit and installment payments are accepted!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the square erupted.
Groups of people swarmed over.
"Old Wang, I'm going first!"
"Damn you! You scared my wife into premature labor earlier!"
"I'm coming too! Get in line! You old bastard acted so damn mighty that you scared the woman next door into giving birth to my son early!"
One after another, their eyes widened with excitement and exhilaration.
Mo Yu's miserable wails rang out continuously from within the crowd.
Just moments ago, he had been a lofty Grand Elder. Now, he was in a pitiful state.
Meanwhile, Gu Rong happily collected money at the side. In less than a minute, he had earned a full thirty thousand gold coins.
As expected, the sect master really had a head for making money.
On the city wall, several Heavenly Sword Sect disciples swallowed hard. They also wanted to kick him once.
A Diyuan Realm expert was someone they might never get the chance to kick even once in their entire lives.
They really could brag about it for years after returning to their sect, and it was cheap too.
After dealing with Mo Yu, Long Xiao returned to the top of the wall, where Xu Zhong and the others welcomed him with faces full of reverence.
This was a freaking godfather!
The Demon Cloud Sect had come to show off its might, only to be wiped out in a single exchange.
"Sect Master Long, what you did just now was so cool!" Hong Chan gave him a thumbs-up, stars shining in her eyes.
"Keep it low-key."
Long Xiao waved his hand and once again assumed the air of an enlightened master who had seen through the mortal world. This Tianyuan Realm cultivation could last an entire day.
He turned his gaze toward Qian Daoliu and the others. The heavily injured Heavenly Dipper experts had no ability to resist at all before Bo Saixi.
This slaughter had increased his Summoning Credits by more than three thousand. He now had nearly seven thousand again. Wonderful. Once Mo Yu kicked the bucket later, he could gain at least another fifteen hundred points.
"Sect Master, everyone except the Seven Demon Generals has been killed."
Bo Saixi led the others over, escorting the Seven Demon Generals before Long Xiao.
The seven were tied with their arms behind their backs, their heads lowered without saying a word. They were clearly the kind of assassins who were poor with words.
"Very good. My Divine Sect is lacking talents like them."
Long Xiao exchanged for seven Soul-Locking Talismans and warmly pasted one onto each of them, even chanting an incantation to cheer them up.
"Sect Master, what do you want these guys for? Their strength is decent, but they're overflowing with killing intent. Are they going to guard the gate?" Tang San asked curiously. Could his own job bowl be getting snatched away?
"Let them help the disciples cultivate in the Cultivation Tower. I imagine they'll like that environment."
Only then did Tang San breathe a sigh of relief, though he was also a little jealous. The Cultivation Tower was an extremely comfortable place. Maybe they would even get a chance to watch female disciples bathing in the Spirit Pool.
Long Xiao then looked at the two pretty girls, Mo Ling and Mo Xin, before instructing Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, Mo Ling and Mo Xin are rather dangerous, so arrange for them to live in the upper district. That'll make them easier for us to control. While you're at it, teach them square dancing."
Qian Renxue pouted and asked curiously, "Sect Master, is it really because they're dangerous?"
"Of course. Don't question my character. You need to have confidence in yourself," Long Xiao said righteously.
As soon as she heard that, Qian Renxue immediately beamed, revealing a sweet smile. "Mm."
"Sect Master Long, we failed to recognize greatness before us. When I return this time, I will definitely have my sect master establish friendly relations with the Divine Sect."
Du Ziteng hurriedly stepped forward with the disciples, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply, displaying utmost respect.
This guy was no ordinary person. He had actually played the pig to eat the tiger, disguising himself as a weakling in the Body Tempering Realm.
Moreover, he had squeezed the greatest possible profit out of the Demon Cloud Sect's expedition. He was undoubtedly a scheming man. People like that were the most frightening.
Long Xiao stroked his chin. He found this old man somewhat unpleasant to look at.
This guy had embarrassed him several times. It would be a loss if he did not get some benefit from him. But how could he make the old man bleed without seeming unjustified? The Divine Sect upheld peace as its guiding principle.
And despite defeating the Demon Cloud Sect, his mission progress for becoming famous within a thousand miles was only fifty percent. Was the Demon Cloud Sect's Grand Elder not prestigious enough?
Looking at Du Ziteng, an idea suddenly came to him. Since his Tianyuan Realm cultivation was still active, he might as well make an even bigger move, earn more fame, and complete the mission while he was at it.
Long Xiao gave Qian Daoliu a look, and Qian Daoliu immediately understood.
"Watch this old man become possessed by Gu Rong!"
Qian Daoliu had somehow learned a set of spirit-invoking movements. After stomping on the ground a few times, his entire aura changed.
"You still have the nerve to apologize? Where did all that smug babbling from earlier go?"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu kicked at Du Ziteng. However, Du Ziteng was a Diyuan Realm expert after all and reacted quickly, raising a protective barrier.
Qian Daoliu's kick hit the barrier and sent him bouncing backward, nearly knocking Qian Renxue beside him flying.
"Ow, my waist..." Qian Daoliu became a full-blown actor, sitting on the ground and clutching his waist as he groaned.
"Grandfather!"
Qian Renxue hurriedly ran over to assist, supporting him with concern. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. I just fell earlier, and it hurts a little. Xue'er, Grandfather may be leaving soon. The only thing I can't stop worrying about is you." Qian Daoliu rubbed his chest and spoke as though he were in great pain.
Du Ziteng and the others stared in disbelief. This was far too fake. How could a half-step Diyuan Realm expert be so fragile?
And this old man looked much younger than him.
"Sect Master Long, please calm your anger. I didn't do it on purpose."
"You have provoked us time and again. My patience is limited," Long Xiao said coldly, his eyes gleaming with frost.
"I am willing to compensate Sect Master Long for his losses." Du Ziteng gritted his teeth and took out a spatial ring, handing it to Qian Renxue.
His heart was bleeding. The items inside were worth five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Qian Renxue skillfully accepted the ring, then said with a hint of a sob in her voice, "Compensation! Compensation! You bastard only know how to compensate! What if my grandfather is gone?"
After saying that, Qian Renxue abandoned Qian Daoliu on the ground and ran into Long Xiao's embrace.
"Sect Master... Xue'er is sad."
Long Xiao stroked Qian Renxue's head. "Don't worry. I'll give you an explanation."
Bo Saixi, Hong Chan, and Bibi Dong merely stood nearby and watched the show blankly, looking like wide-eyed spectators eating melons.
Xu Zhong, his daughter, and Cai Yuntian were also dumbfounded. The strong truly could do whatever they wanted while still maintaining their composure.
After letting go of Qian Renxue, Long Xiao walked before Du Ziteng, frightening him until he trembled all over.
"Sect Master Long... this matter..."
"You are not qualified to discuss this matter with me. I will discuss the specifics with your elders. Take me to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
After saying that, Long Xiao wrapped the Heavenly Sword Sect members in spiritual energy and threw them into the sky.
"Little Xixi, come with me to the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Alright, Sect Master."
Bo Saixi was overjoyed.
"Dong'er, this flying vessel of the Demon Cloud Sect is fated with my sect. Take people and bring it back to enlighten it."
"Oh." Bibi Dong looked at Bo Saixi with jealousy, but still nodded.
Finally, Long Xiao walked up to Hong Chan, catching her somewhat off guard.
"I know you need to return and report, but I still want to tell you something."
Hong Chan's expression stiffened. She felt somewhat flattered, yet immediately broke into a smile. "Please speak, Senior."
Long Xiao patted her shoulder and looked at her beautiful face, which carried a hint of heroic spirit.
"You too are fated with the Divine Sect. The opportunity is in your own hands."
After saying that, Long Xiao left with Bo Saixi, Du Ziteng, and the others.
Hong Chan stood frozen in place. What was Senior implying with those words?
She believed that such a supreme expert would never say something like that for no reason. Perhaps this was her own blessing.
Hong Chan gazed toward where Long Xiao had disappeared and murmured, "Thank you, Senior."
"Have you all forgotten about me? My heart is colder than this floor..."
Qian Daoliu lay on the ground, his voice full of old tears.
