It's wishful thinking to try to bribe me with such a despicable trick.

As Crimson Luan flung out his new Cultivation Technique, Zheng Tu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Two Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques!

No wonder!

He was able to gather such a large team within Wenxian Sect.

To be honest, even he felt a little tempted at that moment.

However!

He was fiercely loyal to Wenxian Sect.

If he thought that this alone could make him defect, then he was truly underestimating him!

"Crimson Luan, some Guest Elders or fainthearted Disciples of Wenxian Sect might be deceived by you, but to try and buy me off with such a despicable method is simply wishful thinking."

As he spoke, he immediately used a Jade Slip to directly notify the Sect members.

Crimson Luan shook his head: "If you had notified them earlier, perhaps there would have been a chance. Don't you think it's too late to notify anyone now?"

His Domain had already spread out, encompassing this entire space.

Within this Domain, no message could be transmitted out.

After several attempts, Zheng Tu saw that the message he sent had not gone through, and his expression instantly darkened.

He had been careless!

But very quickly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Crimson Luan, although you are a Three Tribulation Emperor, and I am only a Second Tribulation Emperor, you may not necessarily be able to defeat me."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a top-grade Emperor Weapon appeared in his hand.

With this top-grade Emperor Weapon, he felt that he might not be without the strength to fight.

Moreover, he didn't need to win against the opponent; he only needed to break through the opponent's Domain Seal and notify the high-ranking members of the Sect.

With the strength of the high-ranking members, what kind of waves could a mere Three Tribulation Emperor stir up?

Seeing this, Crimson Luan wasted no more words and immediately pressed his single hand forward.

"Boom..."

Along with a supreme power pressing down, Zheng Tu had just intended to make a move when he was directly sent flying backward.

Even the Emperor Weapon in his hand was directly snatched away by Crimson Luan.

"How... is this possible?"

Zheng Tu couldn't believe this fact.

Even though he knew there was a huge gap between a Second Tribulation Emperor and a Three Tribulation Emperor, he never expected it to be so terrifyingly large.

From beginning to end, he hadn't even made a move, and he had already lost.

Crimson Luan gave him no chance, directly suppressing him with one hand and quickly placing a Seal of restrictive power on Zheng Tu's body.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell the other party that he had borrowed a trace of the Immortal Artifact's power to quickly end the battle.

The two sides were already a Realm apart, and now, with the power of an Immortal Artifact being used, what could he use to resist?

"How about it? I'll give you another chance now, are you willing to join my Sect?"

Crimson Luan asked again, holding the sealed Zheng Tu.

A look of unyielding defiance flashed across Zheng Tu's face.

"Wishful thinking, just give up on that idea!"

"If you have the guts, then kill me. The high-ranking members of the Sect will surely avenge me after they discover your despicable actions."

This guy, a strange glint flashed in Crimson Luan's eyes.

In this era, people who could disregard life and death were already rare.

However, if he just killed him like this, once his soul tablet shattered, the people of Wenxian Sect would inevitably notice.

For the sake of his grand plan to recruit Disciples, Crimson Luan ultimately just knocked him unconscious and put him into his spatial storage.

...

At the same time, inside a golden hall, there was a long glazed purple-gold table.

Eight figures were seated around the table.

Seven of them wore uniform white robes; these were the high-ranking members of Wenxian Sect.

The person at the head had a completely white beard, a face full of wrinkles, and eyes that carried the aura of years of hardship.

This person was the founder of Wenxian Sect, and also its Sect Master, a First Revolution Pseudo-Immortal expert—Qin Wen.

Within Wenxian Sect, Qin Wen was undoubtedly a pillar of strength, a stabilizing force.

However, at this moment, many high-ranking members of Wenxian Sect, including Sect Master Qin Wen, were showing extreme deference towards another person.

That was a middle-aged man dressed in a light purple long robe!

He sat opposite Qin Wen, slowly sipping tea.

After taking a small sip, he narrowed his eyes, as if savoring the fragrant aroma of the tea.

A moment later, the middle-aged man toyed with the teacup in his hand and slowly spoke.

"Sect Leader Qin, how have you considered the matter I mentioned earlier?"

"This..." Qin Wen hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

But as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man: "As for the relationship between your Wenxian Sect and the Feathered Immortal Sect, there's no need to bring it up. I've already investigated it thoroughly. It's merely that one Elder in your Sect is a discarded Disciple of a certain Deacon of the Feathered Immortal Sect."

"It's fine for you to use this to deceive other Sects, but you can't hide it from me."

This instantly choked the words of refusal in everyone's throats.

"Are you willing or not? Give me a straight answer!"

Though the voice was faint, it gave off a powerful oppressive feeling.

The Sect Master of Wenxian Sect and the other Elders exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat unnatural.

A few days ago!

Sect Leader Xiang Feng of the Five Elements Sect personally came to visit.

Although the Five Elements Sect, like Wenxian Sect, was only a one-star force.

However, Sect Leader Xiang Feng was a Two Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm expert.

Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal Realm, one revolution is one Heaven!

A First Revolution Pseudo-Immortal was undoubtedly destined to be crushed in front of a Two Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm expert.

Upon learning that such a person was visiting, Wenxian Sect naturally dared not neglect him.

Sect Master Qin Wen and even the high-ranking Elders of the Sect personally went to greet him.

Unexpectedly, the other party had come this time to annex the entire Wenxian Sect.

He wished to make Wenxian Sect an subordinate of the Five Elements Sect.

Everyone was naturally unwilling in their hearts, but they also feared the might of the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master and dared not openly refuse.

Now, as the other party brought it up again, they knew that there was no room for discussion on this matter.

They had to give an answer today.

After exchanging glances, Sect Master Qin Wen of Wenxian Sect forced a smile and said: "For the Five Elements Sect to take notice of my Wenxian Sect is our good fortune."

"Sect Leader Xiang's personal visit further demonstrates the importance he places on my Wenxian Sect!"

"If my Wenxian Sect were to refuse again, it would show that we are too ungrateful."

"From now on, my Wenxian Sect is willing to follow the lead of the Five Elements Sect."

"Very good, a wise choice!"

Sect Leader Xiang Feng nodded!

He was very satisfied with this outcome.

He had thought that this trip might require him to show some strength, but he didn't expect things to go even more smoothly than imagined.

"Since that's the case, you all should prepare in advance. Seven days from now, we will all attend the Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony of the Spiritual Land!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone, led by Qin Wen, felt a stir in their hearts.

The region they were in was called Spiritual Land, and every hundred years, a Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony would be held!

At that time, young cultivators from all over the Spiritual Land would gather there to choose a good Sect to join.

For the various Sects, it was also a good opportunity to absorb new blood.

In addition, Loose Cultivators with various abilities would also come, taking this opportunity to become Guest Elders of some Sects.

It could be said that this grand event was an unmissable gathering for both the cultivators of the Spiritual Land and the various Sects of the Spiritual Land.

Of course, for Sects, there was also a threshold; the minimum requirement to participate was a star-level force.

Among star-level forces, stronger Sects could choose better Disciples.

Weaker Sects, on the other hand, could only pick up the scraps that other Sects didn't want in the end.

Wenxian Sect, which only had its Sect Master reach First Revolution Pseudo-Immortal, was naturally at the bottom.

But if they had the Five Elements Sect covering them, perhaps the situation would be slightly different.
