2: Chapter 2: The Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect, Possessing Boundless Magical Power?

Inside the main hall.

The already tense atmosphere fell into a strange deathly silence because of Wang Yang's words, "So noisy."

Lin Xiaowan's delicate body trembled slightly, and the roast chicken in her arms seemed to grow a bit heavier.

She was just the daughter of a common Mortal martial arts hall owner in Qingshi Town, practicing martial arts dutifully at home.

Who knew that yesterday, Wang Ergou from the Iron Fist Sect would break in with his men, insisting she was some "Town Beauty" and demanding to take her as his wife by force!

Hall Master Lin didn't dare offend a Cultivator and could only have her hide on this barren mountain.

Who knew that just as she had finished roasting a chicken and before she could even eat it, she was discovered by Wang Ergou!

Lin Xiaowan looked at Wang Yang in the shadows, especially his expression of complete indifference to the outside world's disturbances!

He looked exactly like a secluded Old Ancestor recorded in Picture Books.

"Se... Senior, save me!"

Lin Xiaowan felt like she was grasping at the last straw; she tremblingly held up the roast chicken in her arms!

"This is freshly roasted by this little girl. As long as Senior is willing to save me, this chicken... this chicken will be offered to you!"

Wang Yang's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.

He was hungry, truly hungry.

Since his Transmigration, he hadn't even had a sip of water. The smell of this roast chicken was practically dancing on the edge of his self-control.

But he knew very well that if he reached out for the chicken now, his "peerless expert" persona would half-collapse.

Besides, a single chicken couldn't save his bladder; only this young girl herself could!

"Do I look like someone who lacks a bite of food?"

Wang Yang slowly opened his eyes, his tone cold and carrying a loneliness that came from seeing through the Mortal World.

"Little girl, I see that you have an extraordinary skeletal structure, a one-in-a-million cultivation Genius. That is why I have been moved to compassion."

He gestured vaguely toward the main gate and said indifferently, "I can save you. However, my Hehuan Sect never keeps outsiders. Either you join my sect now and become the First Disciple of the Hehuan Sect, or you take your chicken and get out of this hall."

"He... Hehuan Sect?"

Lin Xiaowan swallowed hard, her pretty face instantly flushing bright red.

Although she hadn't read many serious books, she had seen plenty of the various Picture Books circulating at the town's bookstalls.

In stories like "The Overbearing Evil Cultivator Falls in Love with Me" or "The Romantic History of the Hehuan Witch," the name Hehuan Sect was often linked with "Dual Cultivation Plundering," "seductiveness," and "indecency."

"Senior, this Hehuan Sect... is it decent?"

Lin Xiaowan tightly clutched the roast chicken in her arms and whispered.

Hearing this, Wang Yang almost failed to maintain his poker face.

Indecent?

"Hmph," Wang Yang snorted coldly.

"Superficial. The world slanders me, cheats me, and insults me, all because they cannot see through the true meaning of the word 'Hehuan.' I ask you, do you want to join the Hehuan Sect, or do you want to keep your innocence?"

He gestured vaguely toward the main gate, his tone extremely cold. "If you are unwilling to join my sect, then take your chicken and get out. Those people outside must be getting impatient."

Lin Xiaowan looked back, and sure enough, the three burly men with fierce expressions had already stepped over the threshold of the main hall.

"Hahahaha!"

"Second Brother, what did this pretty boy say? Hehuan Sect?"

A short, chubby lackey behind Wang Ergou laughed until tears almost came out. "If I remember correctly, this broken Taoist temple has stood here for decades. When did it become the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect?"

"Oh? Hehuan Sect?"

Wang Ergou, who was outside, had initially been intimidated by Wang Yang's Aura. Hearing this name, he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.

"Hahahaha! You're killing me! Brothers, did you hear that? This pretty boy says this is the Hehuan Sect?"

Wang Ergou carried his Ghost-Head Blade, spitting as he stepped over the threshold. "The Hehuan Sect, that demonic sect, was wiped out by the Righteous Path eight hundred years ago. Even the grass on their graves has been replaced thousands of times. What are you trying to pull here?"

He swaggered into the range of Wang Yang's "ten-meter Domain."

"Second Brother, this kid doesn't seem to have any spiritual energy fluctuations at all?" a lackey whispered from behind.

Wang Ergou snorted coldly, the wariness in his eyes vanishing completely, replaced by mockery.

He walked to a spot only three meters away from Wang Yang, tilting his head to size him up, pointing the tip of his blade at Wang Yang's nose.

"I was almost fooled by you just now. You don't have the slightest Aura of a Cultivator, not even the Spiritual Pressure of the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. I think you're just a poor scholar who's read a couple of trashy books and is here playing ghost?"

"Hehuan Sect Revered Master? I think you're the 'Tired of Living Sect Master'!"

Wang Ergou arrogantly reached out to grab Lin Xiaowan's hair. "Little girl, watch closely. Watch how I tear this fraud into pieces!"

Lin Xiaowan turned pale with fright and closed her eyes in despair.

Meanwhile, Wang Yang lowered his eyelids slightly, a very strange curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.

He counted silently in his heart:

Three meters, two meters...

"Once you enter my territory, even the Heavenly King himself must kneel before me."

Just as Wang Ergou was about to strike Wang Yang, Wang Yang finally moved.

No, he didn't even move.

He simply uttered two words: [Kneel!]

Words Become Law!

Buzz—!

In an instant, a terrifying force capable of distorting the air descended within that ten-meter radius.

The originally arrogant and grinning Wang Ergou felt as if an invisible ten-thousand-ton beast had suddenly stepped on his spine.

"Crack!"

That was the sound of bones shattering.

Wang Ergou didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell directly to his knees in front of Wang Yang.

Even his knees were shattered!

"Bang! Bang!"

The two lackeys following closely behind were not spared either, only able to make terrified "uh-uh" sounds.

Wang Yang remained sitting steadily on the prayer mat.

He looked at Wang Ergou, who was kneeling at his feet and unable to move like a dead dog, his tone still as calm as if he were asking about the weather.

"I do not like noisy people."

Lin Xiaowan was now completely stunned.

She slowly opened her eyes and witnessed this incredible scene.

From her perspective, this "Hehuan Sect Revered Master" had only lightly uttered two words, and the three Iron Fist Sect bullies who ran rampant in the town had mysteriously "knelt" together—the kind where their faces were pressed against the ground.

"Senior... no, Revered Master!"

Lin Xiaowan was not stupid. After witnessing such a method of effortlessly suppressing powerful enemies, all the gossip and rumors from the Picture Books were tossed to the back of her mind.

Still clutching the roast chicken tightly, she fell to her knees with a thud and gave Wang Yang a resounding kowtow.

"Lin Xiaowan from Qingshi Town begs Senior to take me as a Disciple! Xiao Wan is not afraid of hardship or exhaustion. As long as I can protect the Lin family, Xiao Wan is willing to serve Revered Master for life and will never betray you!"

[Ding! Detected that the Mortal Disciple "Lin Xiaowan" has offered her heart. Recruitment successful.]

[Congratulations to the Host: Obtained one Mortal Disciple. Invincible Domain radius increased by 10 meters. Current radius: 20 meters.]

Hearing the pleasant notification in his mind, Wang Yang's tense nerves immediately relaxed by more than half.

20 meters!

He quickly calculated in his head. The distance from the main hall to the latrine was 15 meters, and now the radius was 20 meters...

In other words, he could finally go to the toilet safely!

At this thought, the way Wang Yang looked at Lin Xiaowan instantly became soft and kind, as if he were looking at a golden treasure.

"Good."

Wang Yang nodded slightly, trying his best to maintain his aloof image.

"Since you have joined my sect, you are the First Disciple of my Hehuan Sect. As for these ants..."

He glanced at Wang Ergou, who was still twitching on the ground.

"Let them dissipate with the wind..."

In an instant, the three of them vanished into thin air!

Words Become Law!

So terrifying!
