"Therefore, please give a round of applause to welcome the newcomer. This is Xie Chi, who was originally an Elder of the Seven Stars Sect. He is ranked seventh among the eighteen Elders of the Seven Stars Sect, which is a lot higher than Old He. He is a first-class talent, and he will actively contribute his strength to the Intelligence Revenue Service. Please take care of him."
In the courtyard, Wang Lu, with a smile on his face, patted Xie Chi's shoulder to show how much he valued him. In front of him, little Ling 'Er, Wen Bao, He Yun, and Wu Feihua, these four people all had different expressions, and each had their own plans.
Xie Chi's face was as stiff as a walking corpse.
In the warehouse, he received Wang Lu's enthusiastic solicitation, and the result … was naturally to comply.
First, the three advantages proposed by Wang Lu were indeed exciting, and second...
If he didn't comply, his life was in the other party's hands. Did he really have to die for the Seven Stars Sect? If he, Xie Chi, really had that kind of unyielding and sincere loyalty, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader wouldn't have succeeded in poaching him from the Ten Thousand Flower House.
Moreover, what was even worse was, in the warehouse, the young man named Wang Lu fed him a pitch-black pill, which was said to be an imported insect poison from the Southern Border, the Three Corpses Brain Pill. After eating it, if one was disobedient, it could make one's soul fly away, never to reincarnate … Of course, Xie Chi didn't know that Wang Lu didn't have any imported insect poison. Not to mention, how could Wang Lu, who had always been diligent and thrifty, really be willing to feed the imported insect poison to a lowly soldier? The so-called Three Corpses Brain Pill was nothing more than the charcoal that spurted out from the eleven consecutive zero shocks...
Therefore, Xie Chi didn't hesitate. Under the eaves, he had to bow his head. In any case, as long as there's life, there's hope.
Regarding Xie Chi's joining, the Holy Maiden Feng Ling only lamented that the Intelligence Revenue Service's motley crew was getting stronger and stronger, and that there were more and more disgusting scums. She didn't think too much about it. Originally, she came down the mountain for fun, and these past few days, she had a lot of fun playing eleven consecutive zero shocks, eleven consecutive zero shocks, and eleven consecutive zero shocks … Despite repeated defeats, her fighting spirit was high. She didn't care whether Wang Lu lived or died in the Intelligence Revenue Service.
For Wen Bao, Xie Chi's arrival meant that he would have a strong man to help him with the infrastructure in the village, which greatly reduced the pressure. Thus, he welcomed him. As for the rest, with his IQ, he didn't care.
As for Wu Feihua, she was secretly delighted. This Xie Chi came from an Eighth Rank Martial School. Although his cultivation was not too high, he was still one level higher than He Yun, the old man in dire straits. Moreover, his family was rich, and he had brought many magical tools and spirit items from his sect. His appearance was also the best of the best, a typical tall, rich and handsome man! If she could hook up with him, then she wouldn't have come to the Wang Family Village to do hard labor for so long in vain.
Only He Yun was filled with worry. First, he was worried that this pretty boy would shake his position. Now that he was the Vice Sect Leader of the Wisdom Sect, even if he didn't have monstrous power, he was still responsible for most of the development of the Wisdom Sect, which gave him countless benefits … But to be honest, this was all thanks to the fact that Wang Lu didn't have anyone he could use. Although the Holy Maiden was strong, she simply didn't listen to his command. Although Wang Lu was obedient, he was so obtuse that it was heartbreaking. Among the high-level members of the Intelligence Revenue Service, only He Yun could make do with them. However, Xie Chi's position in the Seven Stars Sect was higher than his. Whether it was cultivation, perception, or practical ability, all of them were stronger than his, so the threat was really too big.
Secondly, there was a deeper layer of worry: Wang Lu's way of doing things was so unscrupulous, it was impossible for the Seven Stars Sect to not have any reaction. Xie Chi was treated as one of the core members of the sect. The Sect Leader even had the intention to train him to be the Vice Sect Leader or even the Sect Leader's successor! If he went missing, at most, it would make people lament that the Seven Stars Sect's system was not perfect enough. However, if Xie Chi went missing and even defected, the Sect Leader would definitely fall out with him.
And then what? The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader would lead a group of Elders to kill him? If they fought, they probably wouldn't be able to win. No matter how powerful Wang Lu was, it was impossible for him to fight against a Xudan Stage cultivator. Even if the Holy Maiden factor was taken into account, against more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders, his odds of winning were very slim.
Of course, Wang Lu didn't really need to fight with the Seven Stars Sect. At the critical moment, if he showed the sign of the Lingjian School, the Seven Stars Sect naturally could only kneel and lick his boots. However, if he unscrupulously revealed his trump card, the next thing that awaited him would be the Disciplinary Elder's lightning strike. It would still be a dead end!
Thinking to this, the dirty old man couldn't help but become nervous. Seeing that Wang Lu was jubilantly assigning tasks to Xie Chi, he couldn't help but give the opposite party a meaningful glance — he still couldn't use the Primordial Spirit Sound Transmission Technique, and his Secret Sound Transmission Technique probably wouldn't be able to hide from Xie Chi.
Unfortunately, Wang Lu acted as if he didn't see it. After he finished his nonsense, he clapped his hands. "Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, disperse."
The dirty old man still wanted to say something, but Wang Lu has already begun to close the door. This was a very clear eviction order. He could only helplessly pull Wu Feihua and prepared to leave. However, he found out that Wu Feihua's pair of charming eyes were all on Xie Chi's body, which made him seethe with anger!
—
"Hey, you're not doing this right, right?"
When everyone had dispersed, a Holy Maiden suddenly said so.
Wang Lu asked with interest, "Why not?"
"Don't you think you're playing a bit unscrupulously? This is not only slapping the Seven Stars Sect's face, but also throwing sh * t on their face; there's no room for mediation. I'm not worried that you'll lose to a mere Seven Stars Sect, but if you make this matter big, your experiential learning will end early. "
Wang Lu nodded. "It's rare that Sister Ling is willing to seriously use your brain to think … Are you going to get another eleven consecutive zero today?"
"... Sooner or later, I will get it, don't look down on me!"
At this time, Wang Lu, who was sitting, turned around and happened to catch a glimpse of little Ling 'Er's chest. He couldn't help but curl his lips. "Whether it's flat or not, it's not for other people to see … Oh my god, you really hit me?!"
Crawling up from the ground, Wang Lu patted the dust and said, "What you just said is right. If I don't take care of it, tomorrow, I'll probably have to prepare for a big battle with the Seven Stars Sect, and then I won't be able to play anymore. However, if you can think of it, how could I not think of it? Rest assured, the future trouble has already been eliminated, so they simply can't come. "
Little Ling 'Er suddenly became curious. "Can't come?"
"Oh, a group of crows who can't even take care of themselves, what qualification do they have to find trouble with us? However, we have to seize the time. Taking advantage of this rare strategic opportunity, we must spread the Wisdom Sect as fast as possible. I also want to take this opportunity to quickly improve my cultivation. When the sect's scale and my cultivation have been raised, even if the Seven Stars Sect wants to find trouble with us, they would have to think twice. At that time, we have the initiative in our hands, and there's nothing to worry about. "
Listening to Wang Lu's self-satisfied words, Feng Ling hastily interrupted him. "Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'can't even take care of themselves'?"
Wang Lu smiled. "Actually, it's nothing. Two days ago, I wrote a letter, and now, it has probably been delivered to the appropriate location, so there should be a response."
"Letter, who is it for?"
"The Wanxian League's Blue River Region Office, the Hall of Mortal Reason."
"... What's that?"
"It's a department that specializes in dealing with mortal affairs. Due to the particularity of the Blue River Region, in short, it's a bunch of pain in the ass cultivators. However, if you look deeper into it, their duty is to ensure that the order of the mortal world within their jurisdiction is not subject to unreasonable external interference. "
"Unreasonable external interference refers to …?"
"For example, Zhifeng's conduct in the White Moon Country is a typical example. This department is mainly in charge of cultivators' misdeeds in the mortal world. Actually, it's not unusual for the Immortal Cultivation World to interfere with the mortal world. As long as it's approved by the Wanxian League, it's reasonable for you to openly manipulate a country's royal family. However, if the Wanxian League doesn't allow it, even if you randomly instruct a few mortal children, they could still find trouble with you. And without a doubt, the Seven Stars Sect couldn't get the Wanxian League's permission. "
Little Ling 'Er's mind wandered for a while before she realized what exactly Wang Lu was trying to say by beating around the bush. The young girl's eyes widened, and she incredulously asked, "You … You, this cult's Sect Leader, actually wrote a report letter!?"
Wang Lu righteously and sternly said, "Reporting a cult is everyone's responsibility!"
"Then why don't you report yourself first!"
"This heroine, please respect our Wisdom Sect's lofty ideal. We are essentially different from a cult."
"Yes, how could a common cult be fooled like you!"
"Thank you, it's rare to hear you praise me."
Wrangling with Wang Lu was indeed a tiresome task. Feng Ling painfully rubbed her head. "... According to your words, they're just a group of idle people waiting to die. Would they go to war just because of your letter? It's not like they're a big target, they're just a small sect. "
"Thank you for your real name report. If a report letter from one of the Five Unique Successor Disciples can't make them move, then don't expect this department to have a budget and staff."
"What the! You're using your real name!?"
"Tsk, it's an open and aboveboard thing, is there a need to cover it up? Seeing injustice on the road, I'll write to help. Please call me Little Reporting Expert. "
"You damned informant …"

In a certain barren mountain in the Eastern Way Prefecture of the Great Ming Country in the Blue River Region, the Seven Stars Sect held an emergency meeting of the Elders.
Most of the participating Elders have been informed of the recent jaw-dropping event.
Xie Chi defected.
For most of the Elders, this was an inconceivable matter. Xie Chi was a high-end talent that the Sect Leader personally poached from the Ten Thousand Flower House. Just as he entered the sect, he was already ranked in the upper middle of the Elders. However, this was because he was too young and his cultivation was too weak. His low-level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation was really difficult to be compared to the several high-level Foundation Establishment Stage Elders. And his actual influence was second only to the several Elders who had been with the Sect Leader for the longest time.
He was the Seven Stars Sect's star of hope. The sect's future development was on him, and the resources allocated to him were also the most. How could … he just defected like that!?
The Sect Leader convened an emergency meeting to deal with this matter. However, when they entered the hall, the Elders felt that the air was somewhat cold, sticky, and slightly damp, which was extremely uncomfortable.
This … seemed to mean that the Sect Leader's mood was very bad. Moreover, it was the kind of helpless and powerless bad feeling.
What exactly happened?
Fortunately, the answer to the mystery was soon revealed. When almost all the Elders had arrived, the Sect Leader's voice came from the air.
"The people from the Wanxian League … Hall of Mortal Reason have come to our door."
