485: Chapter 488 The Strange Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect

He had always called Luon's parents uncle and aunt.

Because back then, it was Luon's mother, Mary, who had nurtured him with her milk when he was still in swaddling clothes.

But Luon could not bring himself to smile.

He looked up at Yang Xiu and asked urgently:

“What about my brother? Can he join the Sect too?”

The smile on Yang Xiu's face faded slightly.

He let out a helpless sigh:

“I'm sorry, he cannot. He is indeed an exceptionally gifted genius, and he even awakened a top-tier deep purple talent. But in the end, it is only a healing talent, which belongs to the auxiliary category. Our Divine Sword Sect does not accept Disciples with auxiliary talents.”

Luon's expression instantly darkened.

“You said his talent is top-tier? Then... then can you help recommend him to other Sects in the Central Continent?”

Luon asked, his voice bordering on a plea.

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment and looked around at his surroundings.

“Fine. I can take him with us and recommend him to another Sect. But you must remember, this is a favor I am granting you; you owe one to my Divine Sword Sect.”

Without even thinking, Luon immediately nodded in agreement.

“I'm willing!”

He answered so decisively that Lu Chen didn't even have time to stop him.

“Luon, think carefully! You awakened a purple Sword Dao talent; you are destined to become one of the world's top powerhouses in the future! Don't go owing favors for my sake!”

Lu Chen had always been more mature and steady than his peers.

He could always maintain his composure when things happened.

Looking at Lu Chen, Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

What a pity that his talent shared no fate with the Divine Sword Sect.

He took out a transmission Jade Slip and reported everything that had happened here to his Revered Master, who was far away at the Sect.

He hadn't expected his Revered Master to reply immediately.

But to his surprise, his Revered Master's reply was transmitted almost instantly.

“Bring that youth with the healing talent back immediately! At all costs, you must not let him get away! Do you understand? Even if you have to give up on that kid with the Sword Dao Saint talent, you must bring that healing talent youth back to me, and do not leave his side! You must be respectful to him and must not show the slightest negligence!”

Yang Xiu was completely stunned.

What on earth was going on?

Since its founding, the Divine Sword Sect had never recruited any Disciple who did not possess a Sword Dao talent.

Why would Revered Master lose his composure and be so urgent this time?

He looked at Lu Chen.

His tone unconsciously became respectful:

“Young man, may I ask what your name is?”

“My name is Lu Chen.”

“Lu Chen, on behalf of the Divine Sword Sect, I formally invite you to join our Sect.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was in an uproar.

This Inner Sect Disciple of the strongest Sect...

Why had he suddenly become so polite to a youth with an auxiliary talent?

But Lu Chen himself did not show the slightest bit of excitement.

“Sure.”

“Huh? That's it? You're only saying those two words?”

Yang Xiu was practically exploding with anger internally.

But his Revered Master had ordered him to treat this youth with absolute respect.

He could only force down the rage in his heart and struggle to squeeze out a smile.

After dismissing all the other children, Yang Xiu and the female Disciple followed Lu Chen and Luon toward the slums.

They needed to meet the children's guardian first to handle the relevant formalities.

Inside the slums.

Semu was cooking something at the stove.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped into a sharp focus.

“People from the Divine Sword Sect? What are they doing here?”

At this moment, Lu Chen's group was still two kilometers away from the slums.

Semu was by no means as ordinary as he appeared on the surface.

His gaze fell upon Lu Chen and Luon.

The spiritual glow from their Talent Awakening still lingered on their bodies.

A faint purple halo surrounded Luon;

While Lu Chen was enveloped in a deep purple light.

But no one knew that an even greater crisis was quietly approaching.

The Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect was currently racing toward this location at a terrifying speed.

“I have been planning for so many years; I must not let it all go to waste! That youth must be taken away by me personally!”

He was the current Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, and he had awakened a purple Sword Dao talent.

But almost no one knew that he had initially awakened only the lowest-grade orange talent.

Over the years, he had been secretly devouring other exceptionally gifted youths to increase his own talent Rank.

It took him several thousand years to finally raise his talent to purple, using it to deceive the entire Sect and usurp the position of Sect Master.

To the outside world, he only claimed that his talent had improved through a second Awakening.

But even after devouring millions of youths with green and blue talents, his talent still could not advance a single step further.

In his desperation, he could only seek help from a Heaven Seer to find youths with purple talents for him.

The Heaven Seer had pointed out four or five possible locations for him.

Only then did he send his Disciples and subordinates to those places to search.

And Yang Xiu was a hidden pawn he had planted.

He had long since thoroughly brainwashed this Disciple.

Making him firmly believe that if they couldn't find a new purple talent user, the Divine Sword Sect would perish in the near future.

Soon, Lu Chen and Luon returned to the slums, bringing Yang Xiu and Bai Shu with them.
