209: Entering the sect

"No matter who it is, we will not let anyone go who dares to strike at the people of our Heavenly Fiend Hall. Men! Take him down!" Zhao Kuo said to several Elders of the Venerable Realm.

Boom!!! "Ahhh..." Just as the several Heavenly Fiend Hall Elders stepped forward, they were immediately suppressed by the aura released by Tian Hao.

Tian Hao looked at them with cold eyes and said, "You trash, if you dare to cause me trouble, I'll slaughter you all right here!"

Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed, "Heh, you're just a mere Disciple! Do you really think you can act lawlessly? I call upon the Law Enforcement Emissaries to uphold justice for my Heavenly Fiend Hall!"

At that moment, three people wearing identical clothing appeared. The character 'Punishment' was embroidered on their chests; they were the Law Enforcement Emissaries of the Taichu Sect's Hall of Punishment.

Tian Hao thought to himself that things were looking bad. He quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Jiang Ye, "Be careful. They've teamed up with another faction within the Taichu Sect to move against us. All of them are at the third-stage Xuan Saint Realm."

Jiang Ye felt somewhat passive. Resorting to brute force would definitely be troublesome; even if they escaped now, it would be difficult to show their faces openly in the Profound Realm later.

A Law Enforcement Emissary from the Taichu Sect looked at Tian Hao and said, "Tian Hao, as an Elite Disciple of the Taichu Sect, you have engaged in wanton slaughter and ruined our Sect's reputation. Surrender immediately and return with us to face judgment!"

"Hmph! You think you can make me surrender with just a few beasts like you? Aren't you being a bit too naive!"

"Do you actually dare to resist the Hall of Punishment?"

Jiang Ye used his Soul Power to sense many experts hiding in the surroundings; they were likely experts from other forces. If they dared to show themselves at this time, it meant their overall strength did not fear the Taichu Sect. This was an opportunity.

Jiang Ye said to Tian Hao, "Since the Taichu Sect is treating you like this, why not just leave the Taichu Sect and join another force? You might even have better development."

"Hmm?" Everyone was startled, including those hidden figures who hadn't shown their faces. Tian Hao possessed an Emperor Realm Legacy; if he handed over some Cultivation Techniques, the entire force would benefit immensely, making it worth their while to take a risk.

For a moment, people from other forces were all eager to move, waiting only for Tian Hao's attitude. Tian Hao also understood Jiang Ye's meaning. The Taichu Sect hadn't sent any experts to receive him at this time, so it seemed there would be no good outcome even if he went back.

Both factions within the Taichu Sect had their own key successors they were cultivating. Tian Hao was not a core elite being focused on. Returning would only result in him being forced to hand over the entire Legacy, benefiting those few people instead.

Tian Hao took a few steps forward and said in a cold voice, "I obtained an Emperor Realm Legacy, yet instead of rewarding me and sending people to ensure my safety, you want to seize me and take me back for punishment? Fine, Taichu Sect! Today, we sever our ties. I no longer have any connection to the Taichu Sect!"

As soon as Tian Hao said this, Jiang Ye clearly felt those hidden experts making their moves. They were all drawing closer, attempting to recruit Tian Hao and the others into their Sects.

The Taichu Sect Law Enforcement Emissary said angrily, "A lowly Disciple dares to betray the Taichu Sect? Hand over the Legacy you carry immediately and come back with us for interrogation."

"How did you three idiots Cultivate to the third-stage Xuan Saint Realm? It must have been entirely due to your connections. What a waste of resources. You might as well die!" In a move that caught everyone off guard, Tian Hao suddenly attacked the Taichu Sect members, suppressing them right where they stood.

"Ahhh..."

Jiang Ye was quick-eyed and swift-handed, immediately casting Soul Annihilation to severely wound their Souls. At this point, the several men had no defensive power left. A lightning ball formed in Jiang Ye's hand, which he threw toward the three of them.

The surrounding people all felt the terrifying power contained within that lightning ball and retreated one after another. Just as they backed away—Bang!! An explosion rang out, and the three third-stage Xuan Saint Realm Law Enforcement Emissaries of the Taichu Sect were all blown to ashes.

Killed! Everyone was shocked. He actually killed three Saint Realm experts from the Taichu Sect? It felt unbelievable! However, some powerful forces had already obtained detailed intelligence on Jiang Ye and the others and were waiting for a suitable opportunity to step forward and take them into their ranks.

Just as Jiang Ye and Tian Hao were preparing to strike at the people from the Heavenly Fiend Hall, a middle-aged man crackling with lightning appeared before Jiang Ye like a bolt of lightning. His gaze was like a torch as he looked at him with a serious expression!

"It really is a Thunder Body! I thought the intelligence was fake. I am Lei Ming, the Vice Sect Master of the Xuan Lei Sect. Are you willing to join my Xuan Lei Sect and become my Personal Disciple?"

"What! Why is he here?" The other people from the Profound Realm were all startled. Almost no one in the Profound Realm didn't know of Lei Ming from the Xuan Lei Sect. They hadn't expected him to come here personally.

Jiang Ye looked at Lei Ming and nodded, "Fine! I will join the Xuan Lei Sect. However, these friends of mine..."

Before Jiang Ye could finish, Lei Ming shouted loudly, "Those of you who want people, why haven't you come out yet?"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!! Three people appeared—two men and one woman. Jiang Ye scanned them with his Soul; the Realms of these people were extraordinary, already exceeding the scope of the Xuan Saint Realm.

A beautiful woman looked at Wu Linglong and said, "Little girl, I am Cloud Grace, the Grand Elder of Yan Yun Tower. How about joining my Yan Yun Tower and taking me as your Revered Master?"

Wu Linglong looked at Jiang Ye. The two of them exchanged a glance and both understood that under the current circumstances, it was impossible to join the same force. They could only each choose a force suitable for their own development.

Wu Linglong then performed the Disciple's salute to Cloud Grace and said, "This Disciple is willing to join Yan Yun Tower and enter under Revered Master's tutelage!"

"Hohoho, good!"

A middle-aged man dressed in all black, who gave off a somewhat eerie feeling, said to Shi Feng, "I am Wu Fei, the Grand Elder of the Shadow Gate. Are you willing to join the Shadow Gate and take me as your Revered Master?"

Shi Feng also nodded and agreed to join the Shadow Gate after exchanging a glance with Jiang Ye. Shi Feng also felt that the Shadow Gate's Cultivation Techniques were very compatible with his own True Demon God Art.

Next, a middle-aged man whose physique was twice the size of a normal person's said to Shi Bao in a booming voice, "My name is Ox Flood, Vice Sect Master of the Mountain Moving Sect. Little fatty, join my Mountain Moving Sect!"

Strength! The first impression this man gave was the very powerful strength within him that couldn't be hidden and was overflowing.

Shi Bao was also delighted to sense the power in him! This Mountain Moving Sect should be the most suitable Sect for his Cultivation so far.

"Disciple pays respects to Revered Master!" Shi Bao directly performed the Disciple's salute to Ox Flood.

"Hahaha, good!" Ox Flood laughed happily.

At this point, only Tian Hao was left. He also unhurriedly said to Lei Ming, "Vice Sect Master Lei, I am willing to provide three Emperor Realm Cultivation Techniques if you will allow me to enter the Xuan Lei Sect and protect me for three years!"

"Hmm?" Lei Ming was also surprised. Three Emperor Realm Cultivation Techniques just for three years of protection? Others were also quite puzzled, but the Xuan Lei Sect was definitely one of the few that dared to challenge the Taichu Sect right now.

Lei Ming thought about it; three Emperor Realm Cultivation Techniques for three years of protection was definitely worth more than the price. He said, "Fine!"

Tian Hao then said to Cloud Grace and the others, "Seniors, since my three friends are joining your forces, I am willing to gift each of you one more Emperor Realm Cultivation Technique. I hope these three will receive the best resources and training in your Sects. What do you say?"

"What?" The three of them were simultaneously startled. This was a windfall! They were already quite satisfied with taking these three in, and now adding an Emperor Realm Cultivation Technique made it as good as it could possibly be.

"Good! Since she is your friend and also my beloved Disciple, I will certainly give her the best Cultivation resources," Cloud Grace said.

Ox Flood and Wu You also nodded in agreement, "Fine!"

Lei Ming said, "Now that the matter is settled, let us each return!"

Jiang Ye said to Wu Linglong and the others, "Cultivate hard first. When our strength is sufficient, we shall reunite!"

"Alright!"

The remaining people from the Heavenly Fiend Hall were trembling. Any one of these four could instantly level their Heavenly Fiend Hall! Their wishful thinking had backfired; they hadn't expected this accident at all—that four major forces would actually send heavyweight figures to take these individuals into their respective Sects.

Some onlookers also roughly understood the reason why these forces had come. Besides the Emperor Realm Legacy techniques, there was also the strength of these individuals. The Profound Realm Youth Grand Competition in three months was imminent, and they had to find powerful Disciples to represent their forces in the battle!

Shortly after.

Jiang Ye followed Lei Ming back to the Xuan Lei Sect. The grand Sect buildings were almost entirely made of metallic Materials. Furthermore, the aura of the Power of Thunder could be felt everywhere throughout the Xuan Lei Sect.

If he Cultivated here, he could not only quickly reach a higher level with his Overlord Thunder Body but perhaps even use the Power of Thunder to directly push his Profound Energy Realm higher.

Jiang Ye asked, "Revered Master, does the Sect have a Cultivation site that can quickly increase one's lightning power?"

Lei Ming laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Of course there is. Otherwise, how would my Xuan Lei Sect be renowned throughout the entire Profound Realm?"

"What kind of place is it?"
