329: Enter the sect

"Do you know how much effort I spent to find you? And now you are telling me you are not going back? Are you really going to let me go back alone?"

Li Haotian immediately frowned. Was this person crazy? Did she, an Immortal King Powerhouse, really need him, an Immortal Venerable, to escort her back?

King Anbei also knew her request was a bit excessive, but the problem was that she just wanted to receive the other party's concern. Such outrageous words had almost slipped out involuntarily.

"I believe you must be mentally exhausted from the long journey, which is why you are speaking such nonsense. If you do not mind, you can rest here for a while and then return on your own."

King Anbei's eyes dimmed a little more. This guy still maintained a distant attitude toward her.

"Do you hate me that much?"

She asked once again, still uncertain of the answer in her heart. Every time she saw him, he had an indifferent expression. She did not even know why she was unable to harm him.

Just as Li Haotian was about to answer, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Detected that the Host is currently being pestered by King Anbei. If you can bring her back to the Sect and make her a member of the Sect, you will be rewarded with 1 Immortal Emperor Realm Experience Card and 1 Immortal Emperor Realm Summon Card.]

Upon hearing the System's announcement, a cold sneer involuntarily appeared on Li Haotian's face.

"Are you kidding me? How could I, Li Haotian, be that kind of person?"

Could it be that just for this small reward, he would casually bring an innocent young girl home?

"I, Li Haotian, would rather die, even jump down from here, than ever do such a thing!"

[Additional reward: 1 Peak Immortal Emperor Realm death warrior summoning card. Upon use, a Peak Immortal Emperor Realm Powerhouse will definitely be summoned.]

But then again, in such a desolate wilderness, it is truly too dangerous for a young girl to be outside. If some Vicious Beast or something were to appear and swallow her whole, that would be simply too unfortunate.

Facing such a weak young girl appearing in these mountains, how could he feel at ease if he did not bring her back to the Sect?

Li Haotian took only a few breaths, his mindset shifting countless times, and easily convinced himself. He then immediately walked forward with a smile.

"If you do not mind, you can come to our Sect to sit for a while, and by the way, get to know my usual living environment. Perhaps you might even want to stay here and not leave."

Upon hearing this, King Anbei immediately pouted, her face full of defiance.

"You underestimate me too much. This place is not some place of luxury, nor is it the Heavenly Court. How could I possibly want to settle down here after just one look?"

King Anbei rolled her eyes, but still obediently followed him into the Sect.

She did not want to get Cultivation resources from him, nor did she want to spy on anything; she simply wanted to get a little closer to him.

It seemed like it would not be bad to learn a little about his life.

After the two entered the Sect, a rush of immortal spirit qi immediately greeted King Anbei.

King Anbei widened her eyes in disbelief and carefully looked around, but discovered nothing. She even suspected that she had entered an illusion. When she pinched herself hard a few times and felt the pain, she finally confirmed that everything she saw before her was real.

The pavilions and towers before her looked quite magnificent, and various large-scale buildings were built among the mountains. These were things she could not see at all in the outside world.

Huge teleportation portals stood within the Sect. As long as a Disciple wanted to enter a Secret Realm to Cultivate, they only needed to report to an Elder to enter and conduct trials.

Depending on their strength, these Secret Realms could improve a Disciple's Realm, Comprehension Ability, or Aptitude. Of course, the probability was very low; most were primarily for improving Cultivation and obtaining some resources.

These Secret Realms were created by the System. Every once in a while, the items inside would refresh automatically. Their value was not very high, and there was no need to rack one's brain to farm items, so Li Haotian used them as places for Disciples to conduct their own trials.

In front of such a massive Sect and defenses, King Anbei only felt her own insignificance.

"What do you think of my place?"

Li Haotian did not notice her reaction and just asked casually while walking forward.

"It looks just average. Tell me, did you build this place yourself? As someone in the Immortal Venerable Realm, where did you get so much foundation and so many resources to Cultivate so many Disciples!"

Her little face was flushed with anger, but she still silently gritted her teeth.

She absolutely could not admit now that she was inferior to him, otherwise that would be too embarrassing.

As the two walked through the Sect, many people stopped to watch. Among these Disciples, only a small portion knew Li Haotian, and many of these Disciples had just joined not long ago.

They were all talents selected from the Dynasties within the territory. Only those who were capable enough were qualified to enter the Sect; at a minimum, their Aptitude had to be able to reach the Great Emperor Realm, otherwise, they could not even meet the threshold to enter the Sect.

"Who are these two? Doesn't the Outer Sect forbid Disciples from seeking Dao Companions? Why do they dare to walk here so blatantly? And their behavior is so intimate."

A Disciple was a bit curious. The intimate behavior he mentioned was merely King Anbei holding onto his sleeve because she was worried about falling behind and not being able to find her way.

For King Anbei, these things before her were indeed the first time she had seen them. It dazzled her, and she was afraid that she would accidentally lose Li Haotian.

At first, she could barely keep a stiff upper lip, but after feeling the dense level of Spiritual Qi inside, she really had the feeling of wanting to move here.

"Don't stare. That is our Sect Master, a Powerhouse whose strength has reached the Immortal Emperor Realm. It is absolutely not something you or I can look at directly!"

"He must have appeared here because of something. That female cultivator is not necessarily his Dao Companion; it is very likely a Powerhouse he brought back."

A Disciple explained in a low voice to the others.

Just at this moment, Xue You and Crimson, who had not long come out of seclusion, saw Li Haotian bringing back a new woman, and their faces immediately showed anger.

"This damn guy only knows how to flirt with women!"

Crimson immediately decided to walk forward and grab him to give him a good lecture, but was stopped by Xue You.

"Forget it, Sister Hong. This guy has extraordinary Aptitude and is quite excellent. There will definitely be more excellent girls around him in the future. What we can do now is try our best to follow in his footsteps and not fall behind."

Xue You clearly heard the voice in her heart that had always been warning her. This time, it gave a warning again: if they did not improve, it was very likely that they would fall behind.

To always follow Li Haotian, one must possess stronger strength.
