Extending an olive branch

Blood Corpse Old Ancestor was very injured!

But he didn't dare to say more.

He just obediently recuperated his injuries like a sheep.

For a Pseudo-Immortal expert, regrowing severed limbs was not a difficult task.

However, this required expending the power of his origin to repair.

On the other side, Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhong Qing didn't insist on this matter.

He was really worried that the other party would use force!

He didn't want to experience the same fate as Blood Corpse Old Ancestor.

Perhaps the other party was wary of the Nine Clouds Sect's background behind him, which was why he restrained himself!

He attributed all the reasons to the power behind him.

Not everyone was like Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, who feared neither heaven nor earth.

The Nine Clouds Sect was an extremely powerful sect in the entire Central Continent Second Heaven.

This was a powerful protective charm.

"Perhaps, I can find a way to bring him into the Nine Clouds Sect."

Liu Nian thought this in his heart.

Zhong Qing's strength was obvious to all.

Even within the entire Nine Clouds Sect, experts above the Fifth-turn Pseudo-Immortal were rare.

Each of them was a pillar of the sect.

Thinking of this!

Liu Nian cupped his hands towards Zhong Qing and said loudly,

"Fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, even if a deal doesn't go through, benevolence remains."

"Although there is no master-Disciple 緣 between us, Fellow Daoist's actions today have been a great help to me and the Holy Maiden of my Nine Clouds Sect."

"It is said that great kindness needs no words of thanks!"

"May I ask where Fellow Daoist resides? We will visit another day."

Although he wanted to recruit Zhong Qing, he did not open his mouth rashly, but first prepared to investigate Zhong Qing's background.

Zhong Qing naturally didn't know the twists and turns in his mind.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He replied indifferently,

"Liuguang Sect!"

Liuguang Sect, what kind of sect is this?

Never heard of it at all!

Liu Nian was suspicious.

He had no impression of this sect at all.

But among those present, many people knew about this sect.

Some people were immediately shocked.

"Didn't they say that the Sect Master of the Liuguang Sect only had a Third-turn Emperor Realm cultivation?"

"Such a sect doesn't even have the qualifications to come to Tianshan to participate in the Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony."

"He, how... how could he be from the Liuguang Sect?"

This conversation fell into Liu Nian's ears word for word.

It also made his eyes light up slightly.

In this world, there are many rogue cultivators who single-mindedly pursue the Dao. After feeling that there is no hope for their future, they will enter the world and establish a force of their own.

Based on the currently known information, Zhong Qing is very likely such a person.

After entering the world, he first subdues a sect, and then, according to his own strength, continuously strengthens the sect's power.

This also explains why he even took in evil cultivators like Blood Corpse Old Ancestor.

This is clearly in the stage of the sect's original power expansion.

Many powerful rogue cultivators have done such things.

And this also proves that Zhong Qing has little to do with other major forces.

He is a candidate who can be brought into the sect.

For a moment, he said with some excitement: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist has heard of the Nine Clouds Sect?"

After speaking, without waiting for Zhong Qing to respond, he continued to speak to himself.

"My Nine Clouds Sect's strength is second only to the Four Great Immortal Sects."

"With Fellow Daoist's strength, it would be a waste to stay in this Spiritual Land."

"My Nine Clouds Sect is eager for talent."

"If Fellow Daoist can join the sect, he will surely have a brighter future and prospects."

"Perhaps, he may even be able to obtain an Elder position."

Upon hearing this!

Everyone present was instantly filled with envy.

An Elder of the Nine Clouds Sect, to them, was undoubtedly a figure of immense importance.

The position was high, and the power was great; even looking at the entire Second Heaven, it was a heavyweight existence.

Even Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, who was beside him, couldn't help but become nervous for a moment.

He was afraid that his newly recognized cheap Master would not be able to resist the temptation and agree directly.

Given his grievances with old man Liu Nian, if his Master joined the Nine Clouds Sect, how could he survive?

However, after Zhong Qing listened, he refused without even thinking.

"No interest!"

For him, let alone an Elder of the Nine Clouds Sect, even if the Sect Master abdicated and let him ascend to the Sect Master's throne, he wouldn't be tempted in the slightest.

With this time, it would be more practical to take in a few more Disciples.

Zhong Qing's refusal made everyone present, except for Medicine Red Dust and her group, surprised.

He actually refused this immense fortune without even thinking.

Liu Nian, in the distance, couldn't help but frown.

In his opinion, with the Nine Clouds Sect's strength, the other party should have no reason to refuse.

Of course, he did not give up on this.

Instead, he prepared to first make contact with Zhong Qing.

He wanted to find out the reason for his refusal.

A master above the Fifth-turn Pseudo-Immortal was enough for him to pay a huge price to win over.

...

A Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony, unknowingly, changed its flavor.

First, the appearance of Blood Corpse Old Ancestor caused the ceremony to be interrupted midway.

Then, Zhong Qing's appearance pushed the atmosphere to a different kind of climax.

Everyone looked at the man who was the focus of attention in the entire venue.

He was a mysterious existence.

Not only did he refuse the Nine Clouds Sect's recruitment, but he also specifically only took experts as Disciples.

Many sects came to Tianshan this time, nothing more than to take in a few Disciples with excellent talent. If they could take in a talent with Pseudo-Immortal potential, it would be enough to excite people.

However, what about Zhong Qing's Disciples?

The starting point was a Fourth-turn Pseudo-Immortal!

It was also taking in Disciples!

The starting point of the other party's Disciples was the end point that their Disciples would have to look up to and strive for their entire lives.

On Zhong Qing, they deeply felt the great gap between people.

However, looking at it this way, this Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony should be able to proceed as usual, right?

At this moment, Zhong Qing's gaze was on the people on Tianshan.

Although the overall strength of these people was not strong, they had a large base.

Once taken in!

He believed that his breakthrough to the Emperor Realm was just around the corner.
