The most annoying arrogant and proud person

Zhong Qing had never felt so at ease about his future.

From now on, he would steadily progress, taking in Disciples along the way.

With named Disciples and those assigned by the System, how could his Cultivation not increase?

Even if his Realm was somewhat different from ordinary people, it wouldn't be a problem!

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing took a joyful sip of hot tea.

He put down the Central Continent Geographical Map and picked up the good treasure he had confiscated from the 12th Elder, which he hadn't properly read in a long time.

However, just as he got his hands on the picture book, before he could examine it closely, Feng Buqun suddenly popped out.

Zhong Qing looked up and met Feng Buqun's gaze as he walked in from outside the main hall.

As soon as their eyes met, Feng Buqun unconsciously focused his gaze on Zhong Qing's hand.

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow and subtly closed the picture book, stuffing it into his embrace.

This old geezer, asking him for Cultivation Techniques every day was one thing.

What did he mean today? He wanted to expand the Scripture Pavilion and add a picture book section?

“What’s the matter?”

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow, his expression displeased.

Feng Buqun quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands, coughed, and shifted his gaze to the ground.

“Master! Someone from outside the mountain wants to see you. The leader is a Returning to One Realm Ninth Heaven Cultivator. He seems to be from a prominent background!”

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow, “Here to become a Disciple? Go through the process, right?”

Feng Buqun shook his head: “Not really!”

“The visitors seem to be from an Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Shuobei Eastern Region, not from our Chaotic Land.”

“Actually, this is the first time an outside force has contacted us in so many years!”

“Master, I think, why don't you go out and meet them?”

“Perhaps it’s related to the Beast Clan Secret Realm.”

Feng Buqun spoke at length; he was indeed a bit unsettled by the visit of forces from outside the Chaotic Land.

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Zhong Qing stood up.

“Let’s go out and see.”

…

At this moment, outside the Phoenix Feather Sect mountain gate.

More than a dozen Cultivators clad in silver-white armor stood in neat rows. Although there were only a dozen of them, just standing there, they exuded a shocking aura as if heavenly soldiers had descended.

Standing in front of this line of armored Cultivators was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed similarly, but on his silver helmet, a gilded tassel stood proudly in the wind.

He was precisely Sect Master Jiang, the Sect Leader of the Divine General Sect in the Shuobei Eastern Region.

“Sect Master! For such a small Chaotic Land,”

“Why did you have to come in person?”

“The largest Sect here, at its Peak strength, only has Cultivators at the Returning to One Realm Third or Fourth Heaven.”

“Couldn't you just send anyone to give them some benefits?”

The armored Cultivator standing at the front lowered his head and said sincerely.

Sect Master Jiang turned his head and chuckled: “The Beast Clan Secret Realm is of great importance, and that old fellow Chen Xianshan is not an easy opponent.”

“If I don’t go personally on this trip, how can I be at ease?”

“Only by my personal presence, allowing the Sects here to truly see our foundation, can it be foolproof.”

Sect Master Jiang spoke eloquently, and the dozen or so armored Cultivators behind him, all at the Returning to One Realm Seventh Heaven, nodded their heads vigorously.

“Still, the Sect Master’s considerations are thorough!”

Of course, Sect Master Jiang did not mention the most crucial point.

This time, he was cooperating with Su Qianxi, the Su Fairy of Glow Valley. Su Fairy had recently advanced to the Half-step Venerable Realm.

If he could form a Dao Companion relationship with her through this cooperation, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing?

Therefore, this cooperation had to be absolutely foolproof!

“They’re here.”

Sect Master Jiang narrowed his eyes, and from within the verdant green mountains, two figures leisurely walked out.

One old, one young, one in front, one behind.

It was precisely Feng Buqun and Zhong Qing.

Seeing that only two people came to greet them, Sect Master Jiang shivered, and his entire armor vibrated with him.

“Are you the Master of this place?”

Sect Master Jiang looked at Feng Buqun, his expression slightly displeased.

As a Sect Leader of the Returning to One Realm Ninth Heaven, coming to this Chaotic Land and being willing to wait outside according to etiquette was already showing enough respect for the other party.

But only two people came from the other side?

It was not the grand welcoming scene with the entire Sect that he had imagined.

At this moment, Feng Buqun had already arrived closer.

Feng Buqun stepped back, respectfully yielding his position to Zhong Qing, cupped his hands, and spoke amiably: “I am merely the Sect Master of the Phoenix Feather Sect. This is my Master, the Master of our Phoenix Feather Sect, and even the entire Chaotic Land now.”

Following Feng Buqun's introduction, Sect Master Jiang cast his gaze upon Zhong Qing.

“So young? I see his age is only around twenty. Is he your Sect Master? Or the Master of this Chaotic Land?”

Sect Master Jiang spoke directly with disdain.

However, his eyes lingered on Zhong Qing many times, and apart from being able to discern Zhong Qing's age, he couldn't perceive any other details about Zhong Qing's background or origins.

But even so, it did not affect Sect Master Jiang's judgment at this moment.

Zhong Qing frowned, thinking that the Sects outside this Chaotic Land were somewhat impolite.

Why did they start off by looking down on people?

Meanwhile, Feng Buqun remained respectfully standing behind Zhong Qing, not saying another word.

Zhong Qing did not speak, and neither did Feng Buqun.

After a moment of questioning, Sect Master Jiang received no answer.

A hint of annoyance rose in his heart for a moment, but before he could speak, Zhong Qing turned around, intending to go back.

As soon as Zhong Qing turned, Feng Buqun followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to fly back into the mountain gate.

Seeing this, Sect Master Jiang became agitated.

Are the people of this Chaotic Land too unrefined?

Or did they simply not perceive his Realm at all?

Unable to resist, Profound Qi surged in his palm, and he was about to strike out with a palm.

Since when did the small Phoenix Feather Sect dare to act like this in front of him?

However, after a brief moment, he dispelled the Profound Qi, prioritizing the bigger picture.

Although he looked down on the Phoenix Feather Sect's strength, there was a saying: a strong Dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

He suppressed his anger and shouted: “What do you mean by this?!”

“I am Sect Master Jiang, the Sect Leader of the Divine General Sect in the Shuobei Eastern Region. I have come this time for a business deal to cooperate with you.”

“Such an opportunity for cooperation is not something you can have just by wishing for it!”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing turned his head and glanced at Sect Master Jiang: “What business?”

Although Zhong Qing had no intention of doing business with anyone, since it was his first formal contact with a Sect force from outside the Chaotic Land, he was still willing to understand more deeply.

As Zhong Qing turned his head, Feng Buqun also quickly stopped his steps.

Sect Master Jiang sneered, indeed a vulgar person. He spoke word by word: “I can give you an opportunity to cooperate with my Divine General Sect.”

“We will have our Divine General Sect personnel come and lie low in your Chaotic Land. Your people only need to cooperate unconditionally. The time won't be too long, half a month will suffice. How about it?”

Sect Master Jiang looked down at Zhong Qing, who had turned his head.

Zhong Qing was stunned for a moment. After a long pause, seeing that Sect Master Jiang was not going to continue speaking, he slowly opened his mouth.

“The transaction you mentioned is just letting your people come to my territory?”

“That’s it?”

“What do I get out of it?”
