The Fifth Disciple's Twists and Turns!

In Spirit Yang City.

Lin Ye walked through one street after another, searching for devil dao disciples who met the system's requirements. He had no destination and simply wandered at random. After a little over two hours, the system gave him a notification.

"A devil dao disciple who meets the Supreme Devil Dao System's standards has been detected. Host, please take them as your disciple as soon as possible!"

Lin Ye was thrilled to hear it. His fifth disciple had finally appeared.

"Where?"

Following the system's directions, Lin Ye soon spotted a pale-faced young master accompanied by several burly guards. Judging by their clothing and strength, his background was beyond comparison with those of Lin Ye's previous four disciples.

After all, the guards' cultivation was not low. All of them were around the Body Refining Seventh Layer. The fact that several guards could be sent to protect this fellow was enough to show that the youth's identity was no simple matter.

But Lin Ye did not care about his background. With his current strength, he was invincible as long as no True Qi Realm expert intervened.

So Lin Ye walked up and stopped in front of the youth. "Young man, I can see that you possess extraordinary talent. Would you be interested in taking me as your master and joining the Black-Yellow Sect?"

He knew such an approach was too clichéd, and a young master would surely be unwilling. He expected to have to do some more persuading, but what happened next caught him off guard.

Thud.

The youth dropped straight to his knees and hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Master! This disciple is willing!"

"..."

Lin Ye was dumbfounded. Was the youth really taking him as a master without even asking about his cultivation or background? Lin Ye looked young too, nothing like an expert!

"Where did this fellow come from? Get lost."

The guards all drew their weapons and pointed them at Lin Ye.

At that moment, Lin Ye understood. These men were not the youth's guards at all. Otherwise, they could not have threatened him when their own young master was willing to take him as a master.

In other words, these guards were keeping watch over the youth. His circumstances were probably dire, which was why he wanted a master and was counting on Lin Ye to take him away.

"Disciple, come over here to your master."

Lin Ye smiled.

The guards attacked, but they were too weak. In Lin Ye's eyes, they moved like crawling turtles. With a light slap, he sent them flying backward, and their weapons shattered across the ground.

"So strong!" The youth's eyes filled with hope. He felt that he had a chance to escape this time.

"Disciple, come with me!" Lin Ye said.

"Yes, Master." The youth followed him away.

On the way, Lin Ye asked, "Those men weren't your guards. What was going on?"

The youth hurriedly explained, "Master, your disciple's name is Han Bing. I came from a reasonably well-off family, but our fortunes declined. I also have a special constitution. My whole body is ice-cold, and I hardly seem alive. On top of that, I'm fairly good-looking, so the third young lady of the Hu Household took a fancy to me. If she were beautiful, that would be one thing, but she weighs as much as she is tall, and her looks are painful to behold. I wanted to leave, but she wouldn't let me. She said my cold body gave her a taste of ice and fire at once. I don't understand it either. For the past two years, your disciple has endured suffering no ordinary person could bear!"

"..."

Lin Ye had not expected his fifth disciple to have such a complicated history.

He then touched Han Bing's hand. Sure enough, it was icy. An ordinary person with a body temperature that low would have died long ago, yet Han Bing was still fine, merely weak.

"How strong is the Hu Household?" Lin Ye asked.

"The Hu Household is very powerful. They have a True Qi Realm ancestor and sixteen Body Forging Realm martial artists, but their True Qi Realm ancestor isn't in Spirit Yang City. He went traveling." Afraid that his newly acquired master would fear a True Qi Realm expert, Han Bing hurried to explain everything.

"Then there's no need to worry."

Lin Ye was supremely confident.

Before long, he brought Han Bing back to the inn and called out his junior sister Yu Yu and his three disciples.

"We can return to the sect now."

Lin Ye said.

The sect!

The disciples were curious about the sect Lin Ye had spoken of, and each of them looked forward to returning to it.

The group then set off, and before long they had left Spirit Yang City.

But Lin Ye had still underestimated how much the Hu Household's third young lady wanted Han Bing. She had actually led people in pursuit, all of them riding Crimson Blood Steeds.

"Han Bing!!!" The third young lady's voice was like a lion's roar, full of fury. When Han Bing saw her riding a Crimson Blood Steed with a spiked club in hand, he trembled all over. His legs involuntarily went weak, and he nearly fell.

Lin Ye also looked at the Hu Household's third young lady. He felt Han Bing's description had been far too conservative. Her weight was not merely the same as her height; the number was clearly much higher.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Miaomiao, the Hu Household's third young lady, caught up and blocked Lin Ye's group. At their head, she raised her spiked club and pointed it at Han Bing. "Han Bing, a single day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of affection. We've been together for two years, yet you actually tried to run away."

"I'm not running away. I've taken a master to learn from," Han Bing explained, trembling.

"You are running away!" Hu Miaomiao roared, then turned to Lin Ye. "Which sect are you a disciple of? My ancestor is a True Qi Realm expert. If you dare offend the Hu Household, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Lin Ye smiled and asked, "Is your ancestor here?"

"No," Hu Miaomiao answered without thinking.

"Your ancestor isn't even here, and you dare threaten me? Your ancestor is a True Qi Realm martial artist, but are you?" Lin Ye mocked.

"Even if I'm not a True Qi Realm martial artist, I'm still a Body Forging Realm Fourth Layer martial artist. Release my husband," Hu Miaomiao threatened.

"Get lost!" Lin Ye said coldly.

"All of you, attack!"

Hu Miaomiao led two Body Forging Realm Attendants of her Lineage against Lin Ye. The three Body Forging Realm martial artists attacked him together.

Lin Ye moved, charging toward the two Hu Household Attendants.

"Blood Demon Finger-ptui, I mean Pure Yang Finger."

Lin Ye's "Pure Yang Finger" pierced straight through both Attendants' chests, severely wounding them. He then smashed Hu Miaomiao's spiked club with one punch, seized her by the neck with one hand, and lifted her up. With a vicious swing, he sent her flying hundreds of meters.

"Get lost!"

Lin Ye spoke coldly once more.

Hu Miaomiao lost her nerve and fled with the others, leaving even their Crimson Blood Steeds behind.

"Senior Brother, when did you become so strong?" Yu Yu was shocked. As she remembered it, her senior brother was very weak, only at the Body Refining Realm. How had he suddenly become an incomparably powerful Body Forging Realm martial artist? She felt that even she could not beat him.

"I was simply hiding my strength all along," Lin Ye explained.

Yu Yu was very trusting and actually believed him.

The group then rode the Hu Household's Crimson Blood Steeds toward the Black-Yellow Sect.

The Black-Yellow Sect.

Lin Ye, Yu Yu, and the four disciples had all returned. When the four disciples saw what the Black-Yellow Sect was like, they were dumbstruck. They had thought it was some great sect, only to find that it was a small sect with hardly anyone in it.

Still, they did not look down on it. Lin Ye was strong enough and had given them sufficiently powerful cultivation methods, so they were naturally willing to join the Black-Yellow Sect.

"Master, you're finally back."

Ye Chen came over, speaking excitedly.
