Although the big man's strength was extraordinary and his Body Cultivation Method was good, his footwork wasn't very flexible. Therefore, he couldn't do anything to Zhao Hai for a while. Zhao Hai kept circling around him and used his saber to encircle the other two with short spears, making the three of them unable to move.
On the other side, ShiYan's long saber danced in an impenetrable manner. He was very good at defense, and now that he had used it to the extreme, the two rogue cultivators simply couldn't do anything to him. However, the two couldn't leave because once one of them left, ShiYan would immediately attack, making it impossible for the other two to leave.
Zhao Hai entangled the big man and fought for more than twenty rounds. Suddenly, Zhao Hai's eyes flashed. Then he moved his hand and threw out a hidden weapon. However, the target of this hidden weapon wasn't the people surrounding him, but the two who were attacking him.
The two people didn't expect that Zhao Hai would actually attack them when he was besieged by three people. They simply didn't have any defense. The hidden weapons all hit their bodies. The two people screamed as their bodies turned black and died.
All of this happened in an instant. Zhao Hai's hidden weapon had already killed the two people. The big man and the two short spears didn't have time to react. At the same time, Zhao Hai took advantage of this moment to run out of the encirclement and coldly looked at the three people.
The three turned their heads and looked at Zhao Hai with bloodshot eyes. Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, "The two of us aren't afraid of you. If we continue to fight, there won't be any good results. If the two of them are really your brothers, then I'm really sorry. You were the one who wanted to kill us first, so we had no choice but to fight back. You can't blame us for killing them, but if they don't die, then we'll have to die. If they're just with the three of you, then it's even easier to deal with them. If you have thirty earthworms, then you can join the Poison Tree Sect. Once you join the Poison Tree Sect, then you'll be completely different from a Rogue Cultivator. There's no meaning in us fighting here and there. What do you think?"
The big man's complexion changed a few times before he let out a long breath. He looked at the other two and said, "The five of us have been working together for three months, and the two of them were brothers. We knew each other before, but our relationship wasn't that good. Now that they're dead, if we continue to fight with you, there might be casualties. This isn't something I want to see. In any case, they're dead, and we have thirty earthworms, we don't need to fight anymore. What do you think?" Then he turned his head to look at the two spear-wielding men.
The two short spears were clearly brothers. They nodded at the same time, then they turned their heads to the big man and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. If we continue to fight, then it wouldn't be good for either of us."
The big man nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "You've heard it. We don't want to fight anymore. If you agree, then we'll stop here and go up the mountain together. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I agree. The corpses of the two people and their belongings will be yours to dispose of. We don't want them." Then he stood there and didn't move. He even put away his saber.
When the three people saw Zhao Hai put away his saber, they didn't say anything. Then the three people tidied up the two corpses and buried them. Then they took out the Earthworm Steel Pipes and walked up the mountain.
Zhao Hai and ShiYan were also ten steps behind them as they walked up the mountain. Although the mountain was high and steep, it didn't affect them much. Before long, the group of five arrived at the top of the mountain.
The mountain gate was very flat. When they came out of the mountain path, they saw a large decorated archway with three words engraved on it: Parasol Tree Sect! Obviously, this archway was built during the time of the Parasol Tree Sect. It hasn't been replaced yet. This gave Zhao Hai a very strange feeling. No matter how he looked at it, this place looked like a temporary place. It didn't look like a Sect at all. But now that they were here, it was useless to think about it. Let's just take one step at a time.
Behind the archway was a large square. At this time, there were a lot of people in the square. These people were practicing martial arts. Looking at their appearance, they seemed to be Rogue Cultivators. There was nothing special about them.
After passing through the square, there was a courtyard. Many courtyards were connected together, forming a large building complex. This building complex was very good. It looked like it had been built for a long time. It had an antique flavor and was very elegant.
The people who were practicing martial arts in the square also saw the five people. They all stopped and looked at the five people. One of them saw the big man and laughed, "Li Tieniu, you finally caught the old bull. Hahaha. You really came at the right time. Today is the last day of the Sect's recruitment. If you came a day later, then we would have to give you some spirit stones to send you away."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai and the others couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions couldn't help but change. They didn't think that today would be the last day of the Poison Tree Sect's disciple recruitment. This really surprised them.
The big man was called Li Tieniu. It was clear that he knew the person who spoke. Now that he heard this, his face couldn't help but become flustered. He quickly said, "Old Zhang, are we late?"
The person who was called Old Zhang laughed and said, "You're not late, you're not late. I have to say, old bull, your luck is really good. You actually managed to make it to the last day. Let's go. I know the steward. As long as there are no problems with the worms you brought, then you can become my Sect's Outer Court Disciples.
When the others saw that Old Zhang knew Li Tieniu and the others, they didn't make things difficult for them. They allowed Old Zhang to lead Li Tieniu and the others to the courtyard. Zhao Hai and Shi Yan didn't say a word as they followed behind. They knew that only by joining the Poison Tree Sect would they be safe.
Before long, the group entered the courtyard. Then the person walked around the courtyard before arriving at a relatively spacious courtyard. This courtyard was very clean and had all kinds of flowers and plants planted inside. It looked very serene. Old Zhang led Li Tieniu and Zhao Hai to the house in the courtyard. Then he said, "Steward, five more people came up the mountain."
A very young voice came from the house, "Alright, let them come in." Old Zhang nodded. Then he glanced at the group before retreating to the side.
Li Tieniu and the others were a little excited. They stood there and took a few deep breaths before walking to the door. Li Tieniu opened the door first and then walked in. Then came the two people with short spears, followed by Zhao Hai and Shi Yan.
This room was also very big, but it seemed a little empty. There was only a desk inside, and a person was sitting behind the desk, holding a jade slip behind him. His eyes were closed, as if he was reading the contents of the jade slip.
This person was wearing a green robe and had black hair. However, his eyebrows were also green. He looked very young, as if he was in his twenties. His face was white and he didn't have any facial hair. Just by sitting there, he gave people a cold feeling.
Li Tieniu and the others stood there, not daring to breathe loudly. They didn't dare to disturb this person. Although Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of him, he also acted the same as the others. He was very clear that if he acted differently, it might arouse the other party's suspicion. People from the Devil Sect would never reason with you. If they really suspected you, they might directly attack you.
After a while, the green-robed person opened his eyes. His eyes were also green. When he looked at Zhao Hai and the others, it made Zhao Hai and the others feel as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake.
The person looked at Zhao Hai and the others and said, "I don't know where you heard the news of our sect accepting disciples. But since you came, it means that you are fated with our sect. If each of you hand over ten earthworms, you can become an official disciple of our sect. When the sect closes tomorrow, we will teach you our sect's Cultivation Method. Now, take out your earthworms."
The group nodded. Then they untied the steel pipes behind them and placed them on the ground. Each of them had ten steel pipes in front of them, no more, no less.
The person glanced at the steel pipes on the ground, then he nodded and said, "Good, all of the earthworms are still alive. Alright, from today onwards, you are our sect's outer disciples. These are your identity cards, take them." Then he waved his hand and ten wooden cards flew in front of Zhao Hai and the others. Zhao Hai and the others quickly received them.
The wooden cards were green in color. There seemed to be a layer of green smoke on top of them. On the front, there was a picture of a big tree with the words' Poison Tree 'written below. On the back, there was a zero, as well as a large blank space.
The person looked at Zhao Hai and the others and said, "Use your spiritual force to enter your name into the identity card. Remember, you only have one chance. If you miss it, you won't be able to change it. The zero on the card represents your contribution points. Now that your contribution points are zero, you can do missions in the future and exchange them for contribution points. Once you receive contribution points, the number on the card will naturally change."
The five people nodded, then the person waved his hand and said, "Our sect has just been established, so we don't have much time to take care of you. You can go to the front courtyard and find a room to stay in. As long as the room is empty, you can stay in it. If you want to stay alone, then you can stay alone. If you want to stay with two people, then you can stay with two people. However, a courtyard can't be occupied by only one person. You can go and ask the person who brought you here about the dining hall. You can go now, we'll deal with everything after the sect closes its doors tomorrow." The five people nodded and then left the room.
When they went outside, they saw that Old Zhang was still waiting for them. Seeing them come out, Old Zhang smiled and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to your rooms." Then he led the group out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Old Zhang turned his head to look at Zhao Hai and Shi Yan. Then he turned to Li Tieniu and said, "Old Niu, didn't the Yao brothers follow you before? Who are they? Are they new? Where are the Yao brothers? "
Li Tieniu looked at Zhao Hai and Shi Yan, then he smiled bitterly and said, "The Yao brothers are dead, they were killed by the two of them. We originally had 30 earthworms, and since they came today, we wanted to snatch their earthworms as well. But we didn't expect that we would lose the Yao brothers. Then he said that it wouldn't do us any good to continue fighting, and it just so happened that the earthworms were enough for us to enter the sect. So we came here."
When Old Zhang heard Li Tieniu's words, he looked at Zhao Hai and ShiYan with some surprise, but there was no trace of hostility in his eyes. Instead, he smiled and said, "Entering a sect depends on luck. The Yao brothers' luck wasn't good, so they weren't able to join a sect. You can't blame anyone for that. Today, you entered the mountain, that is your fate. Later on, let go of the grudges and grudges that you had when you were a rogue cultivator. It has nothing to do with us anymore. Old Ox, don't think about it. We rogue cultivators all have this kind of life, no matter what enemies we have.
Li Tieniu nodded, then he turned his head to look at Zhao Hai. He suddenly smiled and said to Zhao Hai, "You're quite interesting, I still don't know your name."
Zhao Hai laughed, then he cupped his fist towards Li Tieniu and the others and said, "I'm Zhao Hai, and this is Brother Shi Yan. Speaking of which, I was able to join the Poison Tree Sect thanks to Brother Shi Yan. It was Brother Shi Yan who knew that the Poison Tree Sect was accepting disciples, and it was also him who told me about it. That's why I was able to find earthworms with him and join the Poison Tree Sect."
Shi Yan also cupped his fist towards the group and said, "Shi Yan is very polite. I received this news a month ago when I was doing a mission in Parasol Tree City. Then I went to the Poison Mist Pond twice and found out that I couldn't get earthworms by myself. So I went to look for people and finally met Brother Tian. It can be said that we were fated to be able to succeed."
Old Zhang chuckled and said, "This is your good luck. This news was indeed spread a month ago, but not many people know about it. There's a time limit for joining the Poison Tree Sect with earthworms, the time limit is one month. You're lucky to be on the last day. If you came tomorrow, then I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to join the Poison Tree Sect."
Li Tieniu let out a long breath and said, "Right, we're lucky. If we came a day later, then we wouldn't have been able to come. Speaking of which, I have to thank the two of you. If it wasn't for you, then I'm afraid that we would've missed this opportunity to join the sect." Li Tieniu was naturally talking about Zhao Hai and Shi Yan.
Shi Yan smiled faintly and shook his head, "There's no need to say these things. We're now fellow disciples. Brother Zhang, please arrange a place for us to stay and also tell us where to eat. Right now, the sect isn't on the right track, right?"
Old Zhang nodded and said, "Right, the sect isn't on the right track. In the past, this was the Parasol Tree Sect, famous for using parasol trees to make Yin Soul artifacts. But now, it's our Poison Tree Sect. There aren't many people in charge of the sect. But don't worry, there will be disciples in charge tomorrow. I heard that they were sent directly from the Poison Dragon Sect."
