"You're Xing Jue?"
Under the fearful gazes of the crowd, Linley walked up to Xing Jue and spoke in a deep and powerful voice. It didn't sound like a human's voice, but more like the growl of a ferocious beast.
"I am indeed Xing Jue. May I know what advice you have for me, Senior?" Xing Jue bowed respectfully.
Xing Jue wasn't an arrogant person. Apart from the Dao Clan, Xing Jue was willing to respect normal etiquette and didn't want to stir up trouble for no reason.
"Xing Jue, on account of your outstanding performance and strength after entering the Sanctuary Alliance, you've earned the right to be promoted to an intermediate disciple."
"On behalf of the Punishment Department, I officially announce that you'll be promoted to an intermediate disciple as an exception. There's no need for you to participate in the assessment and you'll be promoted today!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Linley waved his hand and an intermediate disciple badge and a scroll appeared in his palm. He then handed them to Xing Jue.
"Wow, an exception was made to promote him to an intermediate disciple. That's amazing."
"Oh my god, I thought the Punishment Department was here to punish Xing Jue. I didn't expect them to reward Xing Jue."
"I'm so envious. Back then, when I applied for the assessment, I had to go through it three times before I became an intermediate disciple. Xing Jue has only been in the Sanctuary Alliance for a few days, right? He's already promoted to an intermediate disciple without the need for an assessment! "
"There's nothing to be envious about. Xing Jue's strength is clear for all to see. He can even defeat the number one genius among the intermediate disciples. He's definitely qualified to be an intermediate disciple."
Seeing the Intermediate Disciple Medal, before the executioner could react, the surrounding crowd started to cry out in surprise.
Making an exception to promote a disciple was a glorious thing. It was the absolute recognition of the Sanctuary Alliance.
"Disciple Xing Jue thanks you, Senior!" Xing Jue also knew that this was an honor, so he quickly took the Intermediate Disciple medal and the scroll.
"Don't thank me. You deserve it!"
Clearly, Captain Linley wasn't a man of many words. After handing the medal to the Executioner, he led the Executioner's troops away.
"Xing Jue, don't mind him. This Linley is such a cold person, but he didn't pursue the matter. You humiliated the Dao Realm expert in public just now, which means that he is quite friendly to you!"
After Linley's group left, Elder Li stepped forward and said.
"Yes."
Xing Jue smiled and nodded. He could feel that Captain Linley had no ill intentions towards him.
In front of everyone, Xing Jue pinned the Intermediate Disciple Badge to his chest. After opening the scroll, he discovered that it recorded his residence address in the Intermediate Disciple District, as well as some of the rules that disciples had to follow.
After that, Xing Jue and Elder Li headed straight for the new residential area, arriving at the continent where the Intermediate Disciples resided.
It had to be said that the living environment of the Intermediate Disciples was many times better than that of the Beginner Disciples. Even Xing Jue's residential area couldn't compare to the majestic palace.
Although he only stayed in the residential area for a short period of time, Xing Jue still felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. He felt enlightened.
The palace that Xing Jue resided in was newly built. The palace was exquisite and grand, and there were many maids taking care of Xing Jue's daily meals and daily life.
These maids were not commoners. Even the weakest one was at the Asura Martial Master level, and there were even some Asura Martial Master level.
Although they weren't disciples of the Sacred Alliance, they were paid handsomely to work here. At the same time, they were very efficient.
In terms of food, the female chef who cooked for Xing Jue was a medicine refiner. Not only did she have many different cooking methods, she could also perfectly combine medicinal pills with delicious food. It was definitely an extraordinary enjoyment.
It could be said that the Sacred Alliance's treatment of the Intermediate Disciples was quite generous. One could imagine how the Advanced Disciples were treated.
"Xing Jue, do you know that you've already planted a seed of trouble by humiliating Dao Jingtian today?" Elder Li finally stopped smiling when he arrived at the palace. He frowned worriedly.
"What do you mean, Elder Li?" Xing Jue really didn't know what kind of special status Dao Jingtian had.
"In the Sacred Alliance, the strongest member of the Dao Clan is Dao Yang. He's the leader of the Punishment Squad who wanted to capture you last night.
"Dao Yang can be said to be the representative of the Dao Clan in the Sacred Alliance. Many Dao Clan members rely on him to be so arrogant and despotic.
"However, the most special member of the Dao Clan in the Sacred Alliance is Dao Jingtian's elder brother, Dao Jingtian!
"Dao Jingtian is not only a Advanced Disciple, but he's also known as the most outstanding Advanced Disciple in a hundred years. He's already been confirmed as one of the best disciples to be sent to the headquarters this year.
"Not only is Dao Jingtian powerful, but he also has the strength of an Asura Battle Soul at such a young age. He's also been favored by the Vice Mansion Master!
"You should know that in the Sacred Alliance's Western Branch Prefecture, other than the Mansion Master, there are two people with the most power. There are two people with the most authority. One is the Vice Mansion Lord, and the other is the Punishment Lord.
"But because the Manor Lord has always been elusive, the Vice Manor Lord's authority is even more extensive. He controls the entire Western Branch Manor, and his authority is greater than the Punishment Lord's. He can be said to be the true ruler of the Western Branch Manor."
"You've humiliated Dao Jingtian, so Dao Jingtian definitely won't let it go. It's said that he's in seclusion and wants to break through to the Intermediate Asura Martial Soul in one go.
"If he can do it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the number one disciple among millions of disciples. He'll be even more appreciated by the Vice Mansion Master.
"At that time, if Dao Jingtian comes looking for you, I'm afraid that no one will be able to protect you, unless you have the strength to contend against him."
Elder Li said everything about Dao Jingtian in one breath, and Xing Jue also realized the seriousness of the matter. He never thought that his brother, who was only at Dao Jingtian, would have such a powerful background.
"Xing Jue, I know that you're young and full of vigor, but a man must know when to yield and when to stand tall."
"If Dao Jingtian doesn't care about his identity as a high-ranked disciple and challenges you to the Arena of Life and Death, you must not accept him, otherwise …" Elder Li reminded him solemnly.
"Elder Li, don't worry. I, Xing Jue, am not someone who would joke around with his life. If I don't have a certain level of confidence, I won't make unnecessary sacrifices!" Xing Jue replied gratefully.
"En, there's no harm in telling you that Lord Punishment Squad admires you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have given me the Punishment Order to protect you."
"So as long as you can endure Dao Jingtian's provocation and don't get into a conflict with him, even if he has the Vice Mansion Master backing him up, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Elder Li then gave Xing Jue a reminder before leaving.
Actually, Elder Li's main purpose was to persuade Xing Jue and let Xing Jue hide for a while.
But he couldn't hide forever. Xing Jue could hide, but if Bai Lu and her sister, as well as Jiang Tian, were to be troubled by Dao Jingtian because of him, Xing Jue would feel extremely guilty.
And now, Xing Jue knew that Elder Li had been ordered by Lord Punishment Squad to protect Xing Jue.
At the crucial moment, Lord Punishment Squad would definitely not sit idly by. So as long as he could endure for a while, no matter how strong Dao Jingtian was, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
At the end of the day, what he lacked was Xing Jue's personal strength. If he had the strength to defeat Dao Jingtian, then he wouldn't have to endure such humiliation.
"Sigh, Shura Fighting Soul, with my current strength, I can't fight against it, can I?"
Xing Jue let out a long sigh. Then, he took out the Soul Devouring Order and began his path of cultivation.
Although he didn't know if he could fight against Shura Fighting Souls after his strength reached Shura Fighting Soul, at least he wouldn't be bullied too badly by Shura Fighting Souls.
So now, Xing Jue had to increase his strength as soon as possible. He had to quickly become a real Shura Fighting Soul at all costs.
In the following days, Xing Jue cultivated in seclusion every day. During this time, Bai He, his sister, and Jiang Tian all came to visit Xing Jue. Other than praising Xing Jue for what he had done that day, they also congratulated Xing Jue on becoming a Middle Level Disciple.
During these three days, the Dao Clan was also very quiet. It was probably because Dao Jingtian hadn't come out of seclusion.
Xing Jue had a premonition that when Dao Jingtian came out of seclusion, he would definitely face an unavoidable storm. And Xing Jue had no intention of hiding.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang ~"
On this day, before dawn, Xing Jue was sleeping soundly on his bed. Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out in the air.
When this sound rang out, countless Middle Level Disciples flew up into the air.
Even the Middle Level Disciples who were cultivating in his area rushed back to the Middle Level Disciple area when they heard this bell.
The Junior Level Disciples were even more curious. This bell was the assembly bell for gathering Middle Level Disciples.
Once the assembly bell rang, something big would definitely happen!
So when the bell rang, even Xing Jue didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly tidied up his clothes and followed the crowd into the air. They flew in the direction of the assembly bell, wanting to see what was going on!
At this moment, there were hundreds of people standing in front of the ancient assembly bell. They were all members of the Punishment Department.
The two people in the lead were two high-level Shura Fighting Generals. Both of them were captains. Linley was also among them.
The other was a thin old man. Although this old man was standing there, his eyes were closed. It was as if he had fallen asleep in the air.
"No matter where you come from, no matter what clan you belong to.
"As long as you step into the Sacred Alliance, you will forever be a member of the Sacred Alliance.
"The Sacred Alliance has the obligation to protect you. You must also work for the Sacred Alliance.
"Do you still remember all of this?" Linley's voice was like rolling thunder, echoing in the air.
"Yes!!" Hundreds of thousands of Middle Level Disciples stepped in the air in unison. Their loud voices gave Linley an accurate answer.
"Very well. Now that the land where our disciples live is under threat, do you think the Sacred Alliance should lend a hand?"
"Yes!"
"That's good. The Wind, Lightning, Water, Fire, and Earth Realms outside the Sacred Region Restricted Area have the clans and families of our disciples."
"However, the Wind, Lightning, and Water Realms have been massacred by others. Their lives have been plunged into misery. It's a tragic sight."
"Currently, only the Fire Realm and the Earth Realm are safe. However, it's reported that they will be massacred soon."
"Also, according to the intelligence, the one who destroyed all living beings in the three realms is known as the evilest body in the Sacred Region, the Evil Spirit Constitution!" Linley explained the situation to the crowd in a loud voice.
