How come I met someone who wants to be a disciple again?

As Zhong Qing led the crowd back to Liuguang Sect, laden with gains, Liu Nian and Ling Yueer, Protectors of the Nine Clouds Sect, also departed the Tianshan region.

The two traveled in silence, Liu Nian's expression still displeased, a hint of indignation on his face.

He was already old, and the other party constantly trying to take him as a Disciple made him feel quite offended.

Seeing this, Ling Yueer, who was beside him, naturally understood Uncle Liu's inner turmoil. She tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then gently comforted him, "Uncle Liu, why dwell on this matter?"

“If not for that person, our trip would likely have ended in disaster."

“Speaking of which, the other party took everyone in the entire Tianshan region as his Disciple, even forcefully subduing the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor. It’s rare that he didn’t trouble the two of us.”

Uncle Liu sighed, looking up at the sky, "The Saintess is right!"

“It’s just that this old man can’t understand, he acts so ostentatiously.”

“Isn’t he afraid of those two-star or even three-star forces coming to him?”

“Don’t look at how much his forces have grown now, but in front of truly powerful cultivators, numbers don’t mean much.”

Above the clouds, a gentle breeze blew, Ling Yueer's clothes fluttered, a strand of her long hair danced, and under the sunlight, she seemed to be draped in a holy golden glow.

A thoughtful expression appeared on her delicate features.

Uncle Liu's words also echoed the doubts in her heart.

In her opinion, what cultivators sought was indeed freedom and ease.

But living in this world, who isn't entangled by worldly rules?

Perhaps only transcendent Immortals could truly disregard worldly rules and act according to their whims.

Besides that, other cultivators naturally had boundaries in their actions; exceeding that limit would undoubtedly invite true disaster.

And Zhong Qing, displaying such a treasure in front of tens of thousands of people, was a path to disaster.

Someone capable of Cultivating to the point of suppressing a Four-Turn Pseudo-Immortal couldn't possibly be unaware of the principle of not flaunting wealth.

Could it be that he had a trump card?

But what kind of trump card could allow him to act so recklessly?

Or perhaps, he was inherently a reckless person?

She pondered for a moment but found no answer.

Ling Yueer simply shook her head, no longer delving deeper.

She slowly said, "Today's Karma, tomorrow's fruit!"

“No matter what, it’s a fact that the other party helped us escape our predicament.”

“If in the future I learn that he truly encounters danger, I will ask the Sect's experts to help him avoid a calamity, which will complete today's Karma.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Nian nodded in agreement.

As the two were speaking, a faint energy ripple tremor came from afar.

That was clearly someone fighting.

“Yi…”

Liu Nian suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Those were two Emperor Realm beings fighting.

Emperor Rank beings naturally couldn't catch her eye.

However, one of the energy fluctuations far exceeded the power an Emperor Rank could unleash, carrying a supreme and magnificent aura that even made her feel a hint of pressure.

"Saintess, something is strange ahead, should we go and take a look?"

Ling Yueer had always disliked battles between cultivators.

She enjoyed liveliness, but she was unwilling to get too involved in the grievances and Karma between cultivators.

But she clearly sensed that two Emperor Rank beings were fighting in the distance.

And ordinary Emperor Rank beings couldn't catch Uncle Liu's eye; his suggestion must have other factors.

Thinking of this, Ling Yueer nodded.

Under Liu Nian's guidance, the two immediately rushed to the battlefield.

At this moment, above a cloud-filled sky, an Emperor Realm battle was erupting.

One of them was precisely Third Elder Mu Changchun, one of the fourteen Great Emperors of the Liuguang Sect, whom Zhong Qing had sent out earlier to take Disciples.

The other was a wicked cultivator of the Three Tribulation Emperor Realm!

His name was Luo Guan!

Luo Guan had achieved the Three-Turn Emperor Realm many years ago, and was considered one of the strongest existences below the Pseudo-Immortal.

However, at this moment, he was being suppressed by Mu Changchun, this newly promoted Three Tribulation Emperor, to the point where he could barely parry and had no ability to counterattack.

“Boom…”

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, as the surging energy ripples stirred up the sky and clouds, the two sides crossed paths.

Luo Guan, covered in blood, stood awkwardly in mid-air, his eyes bloodshot, saying, “Old man Changchun, don’t bully people too much.”

“My Tianxie Sect and your Liuguang Sect have always kept to ourselves, but you first suppressed my Sect's Disciples with brute force, forcefully taking them as Disciples, and now, you are even clinging to me.”

“You can’t bully people like this!”

“If you push this Emperor too far, once this Emperor escapes, I will definitely go into hiding and cleanse and exterminate your Liuguang Sect's Disciples!”

They say that local customs nurture local people!

After Sect Leader Chi Luan of Liuguang Sect received Zhong Qing's signal to take more Disciples, he immediately went to Wenxian Sect and emptied the entire Wenxian Sect.

And this Third Elder Mu Changchun directly started from Emperor Realm forces, pushing through them directly.

Now that he was a Three Tribulation Emperor and had an Immortal Artifact in hand, as long as he didn't encounter a Pseudo-Immortal Rank expert, no one in an Emperor Rank Sect was truly his match.

And this Tianxie Sect was the Sect Mu Changchun had targeted.

Now, the entire Sect had been subdued by him, with only its Sect Master, Luo Guan, having escaped.

As a perfectionist, how could he allow such a mistake to exist?

A Sect should be what it should be, and naturally, everyone should neatly worship him as their Revered Master; not one less would do.

Hearing Luo Guan's indignant words, Mu Changchun burst into laughter, looking up at the sky, "Luo Guan, it's a shame you've Cultivated to such a level; don't you think such a threat is too childish?"

“Do you think you can escape from my hands today?”

Luo Guan's expression turned ugly, "What do you want?"

Mu Changchun stood proudly in the sky, "Acknowledge me as your Revered Master, and you can live!"

“Never.”

“You dominated my Sect's foundation, plundered my Sect's Disciples, and you still want me to acknowledge you as Revered Master?”

“Don’t you think that’s too ridiculous?”

The conversation between the two made Liu Nian and Ling Yueer, who were rushing over, exchange bewildered glances.

This… why was it taking Disciples again?

They had heard of Sects being directly annihilated.

But directly taking an entire Sect as Disciples, this was the first time they had heard of it.

Can Disciples be taken like this?

Recalling Zhong Qing's actions in Tianshan earlier, how similar they were.

This meant that this was not an isolated incident.

Could this be a unique characteristic of this Spiritual Land?

It's just, where did this bad habit come from?

The thought of an entire Sect, regardless of Sect Master, Old Ancestor, Disciple, Elder, or Protector, uniformly calling someone Revered Master, and each referring to others as Senior Brother or Junior Brother, inexplicably made their hearts skip a beat.

This scene, for them, was too suffocating!
