My Dear Disciple, Could You Do Your Master a Favor?

The Three Thousand Great Worlds.

The Forbidden Sect.

"Direct disciple Chu Luo trespassed into the sect's forbidden grounds. Under sect rules, he must be expelled!"

Inside a vast palace.

A thin, frail youth knelt in the great hall.

The youth was not particularly handsome.

But his looks were the kind that grew on you.

His name was Chu Luo, and he was one of the countless transmigrators.

Several high-ranking elders of the Forbidden Sect sat at the head of the hall.

One of them, a white-haired old man, had an icy gaze.

Waves of immense, terrifying pressure radiated from him, casting an oppressive pall over the entire hall.

He was the Forbidden Sect's second elder, Zhao Sheng!

The outside world respectfully called him the Spirit-Clearing Ancient Sage!

But this second elder, Zhao Sheng, looked thoroughly displeased with Chu Luo!

Clearly, he had been the one who spoke just now!

"That's right! Expel this little devil from the sect!"

"I support the second elder!"

"Exactly! This scourge should have been kicked out ages ago!"

"Heh heh... It was bad enough when this little devil only tormented us, but now he's actually trespassed into the forbidden grounds. Even Elder Yin Ya can't save him!"

"Right? Even the elders would face severe punishment for trespassing into the forbidden grounds!"

"..."

Behind Chu Luo.

A crowd of core disciples stood there, each looking like a resentful spouse.

They seemed desperate to see Chu Luo expelled as soon as possible.

Chu Luo turned and rolled his eyes at them.

Then he looked up at the distinguished middle-aged man seated at their head, put on an aggrieved expression, and said:

"Sect Master, I didn't trespass into the forbidden grounds deliberately! I've been practicing a secret escape technique lately, and I got the direction wrong and accidentally teleported into the forbidden grounds!"

"Please judge this fairly, Sect Master!"

The middle-aged man seated at their head was the Forbidden Sect's sect master!

Lin Feng!

"Well..."

"Second Elder, Chu Luo is Elder Yin Ya's only direct disciple, after all..."

"Elder Yin Ya is in seclusion. We should wait until he comes out before discussing Chu Luo's expulsion..."

Lin Feng's brows creased slightly. Just thinking about Third Elder Yin Ya's temper gave him a headache.

If Elder Yin Ya emerged from seclusion and learned that he had expelled his precious disciple...

Wouldn't he turn the whole place upside down?

Several other elders silently nodded in agreement.

"Hmph!"

"Sect Master, this rule was established by the patriarchs!"

"Even if that old ghost Yin Ya were here, he couldn't change it!"

Second Elder Zhao Sheng snorted and spoke coldly.

Today, he was determined to drive this scourge, Chu Luo, out of the Forbidden Sect!

"Come on, Second Elder!"

"All I did was visit your herb garden a while back and pull up a few young spiritual herbs. Do you really have to hold such a grudge against me?"

Chu Luo finally lost patience too. He spread his hands and shrugged.

This old geezer was far too petty and vindictive!

"Silence!"

"You dare talk back!"

"Sect Master, expel this scourge from the sect right now!"

The moment Chu Luo mentioned his herb garden, Zhao Sheng's anger boiled over!

He had painstakingly retrieved those spiritual herbs from a deadly land, surviving by the skin of his teeth.

He had planted them yesterday, only for this little bastard to uproot them today!

"Which old bastard wants to drive my dear disciple away?!"

Boom...

Just then.

A booming voice thundered throughout the vast Forbidden Sect.

The expressions of Lin Feng, Zhao Sheng, and the other elders present changed drastically.

They immediately rose from their seats, their faces filled with shock.

Because that familiar voice had carried a supreme imperial might!

"Master!!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Chu Luo relaxed completely, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

After transmigrating here, he had lost both his parents and happened to meet his master, who was traveling through the lower realm.

After bringing Chu Luo back to the Forbidden Sect, his master had remained in seclusion.

By now, Chu Luo had not seen his master for over a decade.

Boom, boom, boom...

Then heaven and earth changed, mountains and rivers shook, and visions of myriad laws manifested across the skies of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!

Countless factions throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds were alarmed!

"Gasp... Visions of myriad laws... A new Great Emperor has been born!"

"Heavens! Which faction has produced another Great Emperor?!"

"That direction... It seems to be the Forbidden Sect, one of the top sects!"

"Gasp..."

For a time, countless old monsters emerged from seclusion and gazed toward the Forbidden Sect, their eyes filled with wariness and shock...

Meanwhile, several hundred miles from the Forbidden Sect.

An old man dressed in dark robes also stared toward the Forbidden Sect, his face full of shock.

Beside him stood a black-haired youth.

The youth narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

"Master, are we still going to the Forbidden Sect?"

The old man withdrew his gaze, his expression slightly grim. A strange glint flashed through his eyes as he nodded.

"Yes!"

"Didn't you want to challenge the Forbidden Sect's direct disciples?"

"I heard the Forbidden Sect will soon begin its selection for Sequence Disciples. This is a perfect chance for you to test their abilities!"

"And we can also see which old fellow has advanced to Great Emperor..."

With that, the old man swept his sleeve.

A powerful force swept up the youth beside him, and they vanished...

At the same time.

A terrifying force swept away all the celestial visions above the Forbidden Sect.

Inside the great hall, an imposing figure silently appeared.

The newcomer was an old man.

Whether they were disciples in the hall or elders seated above, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The old man who had appeared in the hall was Chu Luo's master.

The Forbidden Sect's third elder, Yin Ya!

The outside world respectfully called him the Shadow Crow Ancient Sage!

At that moment, Yin Ya had restrained his aura. His gaze fell on Chu Luo, and his brows knitted as fury instantly blazed within him!

Although he had not seen his dear disciple in years.

He recognized Chu Luo at a glance.

"Third Elder, you've taken that step?!"

Sect Master Lin Feng came to his senses, his eyes brimming with excitement.

Beside him, Zhao Sheng stared at Elder Yin Ya as though he had seen a ghost!

His face was full of disbelief, along with a trace of envy and jealousy...

Yin Ya had no time to spare for Lin Feng.

He walked over to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo immediately put on an aggrieved expression.

"Master..."

Before Chu Luo could voice his grievances, Yin Ya grabbed his hand and flew into a rage:

"My dear disciple, why do you have only two and a half years left to live?!"

"Who did this to you?!"

"Tell your master! I'll not only destroy him, I'll dig up his ancestral graves!"

"Damn it all!"

"What?!"

Yin Ya's words made Lin Feng and all the elders present pale slightly. They immediately directed their divine senses toward Chu Luo.

They discovered that Chu Luo really did have only two and a half years left to live...

These Ancient Sages had previously focused all their attention on Chu Luo's trespassing into the forbidden grounds...

Chu Luo waved his hand, immediately leaned close to Yin Ya's ear, and whispered:

"Master, no one harmed me."

"I've been bored these past few years, so I practiced all one thousand forbidden supreme techniques of our Forbidden Sect..."

"It's just that our sect's forbidden supreme techniques... really burn through your lifespan..."

Yin Ya was instantly dumbstruck. Staring at Chu Luo, he blurted out through a voice transmission:

"Good heavens..."

"My dear disciple, did you really learn all one thousand forbidden ultimate moves?"

Chu Luo spread his hands and nodded.

Yin Ya pulled Chu Luo into a corner and secretly transmitted his voice:

"My dear disciple, could you do your master a favor?"

"Please tell me, Master!"

"My dear disciple, enter the sect's Sequence Disciple selection!"

"Ideally, become the sect's Number Zero Sequence Disciple and the Forbidden Sect's junior sect master!"

Chu Luo said, "Uh... Let's talk about that once I'm allowed to stay instead of being kicked out..."

"After all, I did break the sect rules..."

Yin Ya immediately turned around, a cold smile appearing on his face.

His gaze fell on Lin Feng and the high-ranking elders. Pulling Chu Luo behind him, he sneered:

"Heh heh..."

"My dear disciple, with your master here, let's see who dares drive you away today!"

"My dear disciple, stand behind your master and watch me take on this whole assembly in a battle of words!"

[Ding!]

[Apprentice-Protection Points gained: +10,000!]

The moment Yin Ya finished speaking.

A system notification rang out in Chu Luo's mind...
