As Instructor Yang left with Xia Chenxi, another middle-aged cultivator stepped forward. This cultivator had a ferocious look on his face and he held a Ghost Head Saber in his hand. He looked quite powerful.
"Disciples who choose to join my Saber Sect, stand behind me and follow me to the Saber Sect."
After the core disciples were taken away, it was the turn of the nine sub-sects.
After dawdling for a while, more than thirty warriors stepped forward and stood behind this person.
There were about three hundred martial artists who came from Lin City this time. Seeing that only one-tenth of them came out, a trace of displeasure flashed across this martial artist's face.
"My Saber Sect is currently the strongest sect in Wind Sword School. After joining my Saber Sect, the resources you will receive every month will be far more than the other sub-sects. You must consider carefully." This martial artist snorted and then glanced at Elder Xu. He smiled coldly and said again, "I'm afraid all of you want to join the Sword Sect, right? To tell you the truth, although my Wind Sword School is called the Sword Sect, in fact, the Sword Sect only got the last place in the last Sect Competition! "
"Elder Zheng, my Sword Sect doesn't need you to tell us what to do!" Elder Xu said with a gloomy face.
"Heh, that's the truth. Can't people say it? Or did my words poke your Sword Sect's sore spot? " Elder Zheng smiled disdainfully and said, "In the recent Sect Competition, my Saber Sect has always been first. In my opinion, the sect should have changed its name a long time ago. It's precisely because of the name Wind Sword School that countless young martial artists go astray. Before entering the sect, they spend a lot of time practicing the sword, but after entering the sect, they have no choice but to practice again, wasting a lot of time."
Seeing that Elder Zheng was so arrogant and actually publicly slandered the Sword Sect, Elder Xu couldn't help but rebuke angrily, "If it wasn't for your Saber Sect controlling most of the sect's resources and suppressing my Sword Sect, how would my Sword Sect end up like this?"
During these past few years, even though no extraordinary geniuses had appeared in the Sword Sect, there were many disciples with good natural talent. If they were able to obtain sufficient resources, then even if they were unable to seize the first position, it wouldn't be difficult for them to maintain their position in the top three. However, it was precisely because the Saber Sect suppressed the Sword Sect with all its might that the Sword Sect lost its genius disciples without end, causing the situation to deteriorate.
It was precisely because of this that Elder Xu yearned for a genius to appear. He needed a true genius to help the Sword Sect seize first place and take back the resources that should belong to the Sword Sect!
So long as it had sufficient resources, then the Sword Sect would be able to form a virtuous cycle once more and develop once more. There was no doubt that Lu Xuan was Elder Xu's only hope. He believed that Lu Xuan would definitely be able to bring the Sword Sect to prominence during the Grand Competition of the Sects next year!
Elder Zheng turned a deaf ear towards Elder Xu's criticism, and he just sneered and said, "The facts are placed before us, so it's useless to speak any further."
After that, he turned around and continued speaking to the crowd of cultivators. "All of you heard it earlier. The status of the Sword Sect is far inferior to my Saber Sect. There's still time if all of you choose my Saber Sect now, but once all of you enter the Sword Sect, then you'll have to waste half a year of time for nothing before you can make another choice. There's only so little golden time for a cultivator to cultivate, and I believe all of you understand what wasting half a year represents."
After he finished speaking, Elder Zheng didn't speak any further, and he just waited for all the cultivators to make their choice. He believed that after he spoke these words, there would surely be people who would make the correct choice.
Sure enough, after a period of dawdling, almost 40 people actually stood out successively and walked over to stand behind Elder Zheng. More than half of these 40 people actually carried swords on their backs. Obviously, they'd originally intended to cultivate in the sword.
Seeing this scene, Elder Zheng immediately laughed out loud, and a proud expression appeared on his face. "Very good, all of you will definitely not regret your choice. After entering my Saber Sect, after half a year, your cultivation will definitely far surpass your peers!"
Just when he turned his head and was about to admire Elder Xu's flustered and exasperated expression, he discovered that Elder Xu's expression was far calmer than he had imagined.
"What the hell is this old fellow doing? If it was any other time, I'm afraid he would have already blown his beard and glared at me. "Elder Zheng couldn't help but feel suspicious. He didn't know why Elder Xu seemed to have changed this time.
However, he couldn't force Elder Xu to flip out. Since he didn't get to see the 'beautiful scenery' that he had imagined, he could only coldly snort, throw out a flying device, and lead the group of cultivators who had chosen the Saber Sect away.
"The other seven sub-sects, come up and receive your people. Those who want to join other sub-sects can choose at any time," Elder Xu said indifferently, as if he had no intention of retaining the people from the Sword Sect.
Following Elder Xu's words, the people from the other seven sub-sects stepped forward one after another. However, they weren't as high profile as the Saber Sect. They only reported the name of their sub-sect and asked the cultivators who wanted to join to step forward.
"Old Xu, this doesn't seem like your style this time. Why are you so angry at that grandson? "A cultivator holding a long spear stepped forward and walked to Elder Xu's side, and asked in surprise.
This person was called Du Lin, an elder of the Spear Sect. The Spear Sect and the Sword Sect had the best relationship. This was because spear users and swordsmen had some similarities. Cultivators who used these two weapons had a straight back and an unbending temperament. It was precisely because of this that the people of the two sub-sects were quite compatible. However, the current status of the Spear Sect far surpassed the Sword Sect, and in the previous Large Competition, they had obtained third place.
Hearing this, Elder Xu smiled rather complacently. "If he is strong, then let him be strong. If he is arrogant, then let him be arrogant. If he is arrogant, then let him be arrogant. If he is arrogant, then let him be arrogant. If he is arrogant, then let him be ruthlessly slapped in the face."
With Elder Xu's words, how could Du Lin not understand? A look of pleasant surprise flashed on his face as he said, "You found it?"
"This time, I have some gains. Come and watch the entrance test seven days from now. At that time, my Sword Sect will definitely amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!" Elder Xu stroked his beard and smiled.
Du Lin immediately laughed out loud. "Then I will congratulate you first. I will definitely come and see what kind of fine jade can make you so confident."
Following which, he did not say anything more. He took large strides forward and shouted, "I am Elder Du of the Spear Sect. Those who choose to enter my Spear Sect, come behind me."
This time, there were less than twenty people who stepped forward. Du Lin was not annoyed. As the saying goes, a month is a staff, a year is a saber, and a lifetime is a spear. The spear was the most difficult to train. It tested a cultivator's patience. If one wanted to become a strong spear user, hard training was essential. Because of this, there were not many cultivators who chose to train in the spear.
As the people from the sub-sects left, there were less than thirty people left. Among them, a large portion of the cultivators who wanted to enter the Sword Sect had been shocked by Elder Zheng's words. It could be said that this was the shameful Sword Sect had been in for a long time.
"After Elder Zheng's words, all of you are still able to choose the Sword Sect. Very good! This proves that all of you already have your own Sword Principle in your hearts. My Sword Sect needs talents like you. As for those fence-sitters, they cannot train in the sword and are not worthy of training in the sword. As for the problem of resources, you don't have to worry at all. The reason why I asked Elder Zheng to pull those fence-sitters away was because I did not want to waste the limited resources on them. Now that they have left, the resources that you will be able to obtain will be doubled! Even if it is slightly inferior to the other sub-sects, it will not be by much. "
Elder Xu's words made all the remaining cultivators extremely happy. They indeed had their hearts set on the Sword Principle. However, the problem of resources was still something that they were worried about. Now that Elder Xu had said this, their worries were greatly reduced.
"Now, I will lead all of you to the location of the Sword Sect. There will be someone who will explain the details to all of you when the time comes."
After saying this, Elder Xu led all the disciples, including Lu Xuan and the others, onto the huge sword and set off again. This time, their destination was the location of the Sword Sect.
