When Jiang Dongcheng left Zhao Hai's room, he found that the cultivator who led him in was still waiting for him outside. When the cultivator saw him, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Congratulations, you are now a member of our Sea Exploring Sect. Come with me, I'll take you to receive the benefits of being a disciple of the sect."
Jiang Dongcheng looked at the disciple and asked, "How did you know that I joined the Sea Exploring Sect?"
The person looked at Jiang Dongcheng and smiled, "It's very simple, because you came out alive. You didn't think that you could come out alive if you didn't join the Sea Exploring Sect, right? If you don't join my Sea Exploring Sect, then you are our enemy. Do you think the Sect Master will be polite to an enemy of the Sea Exploring Sect? The Sect Master has never been polite to an enemy of the Sea Exploring Sect. "
Hearing this, Jiang Dongcheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. To be honest, he didn't think that Zhao Hai would kill him. This was because ever since he entered the room, Zhao Hai had been smiling. Moreover, he didn't have any aura around him. Instead, he had an amiable feeling. Because of this, Jiang Dongcheng unconsciously placed himself in an equal position with Zhao Hai. Because of this, he dared to ask Zhao Hai what kind of treatment he would receive after joining the Sea Exploring Sect. Now that he thought about it, he felt a bit scared. Was he too presumptuous just now? This was the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Sect, a sect that could destroy a trading firm.
The person looked at Jiang Dongcheng and smiled, "It seems like you're afraid, but there's no need for that. If the Sect Lord wanted to kill you, you would've already been dead. In front of the Sect Lord, you can say whatever you want. There's no need to beat around the bush with the Sect Lord. If the Sect Lord agrees to your request, then he will. If he doesn't agree, then no matter what you say, he still won't agree. Do you think the Sect Lord would be angry because of your behavior? People like you and me are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the sect master. Why would he be angry with ants? "
When Jiang Dongcheng heard this, he nodded. Then he cupped his fist and said, "I've learned a lot. Junior Brother, I'd like to ask which senior made the rules of the Sea Exploring Sect? It's so detailed. I'm really impressed. "
The person looked at Jiang Dongcheng with a smile in his eyes and said, "I'm very happy to hear you say that. In the future, there will be people who will tell you more details. Today, I'll simply tell you that the Scouring Sea Sect was established by the Sect Master himself. Everything in the sect was decided by the Sect Master, including the rules. Therefore, the rules of the Scouring Sea Sect were set by the Sect Master himself. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Jiang Dongcheng couldn't help but be stunned. Then his expression changed as he said, "Are these sect rules really made by the Sect Master? The Sect Master's talent is admirable. Admirable? "
The person looked at Jiang Dongcheng, then he snorted and said, "Remember, you can only say these words once today. Because you just joined the Scouring Sea Sect, I'll let you go. Next time, if you dare to doubt the Sect Master, then I won't let you go. Also, if you dare to say those words to others, I can't guarantee that you won't be beaten." After that, he led Jiang Dongcheng to a nearby courtyard. There were a lot of people in the courtyard, and they were currently organizing their things.
The person led Jiang Dongcheng to take the Scouring Sea Sect's clothes, artifacts, crystals, pills, identity cards, and other things. Then he handed everything over to Jiang Dongcheng before leading him outside.
Jiang Dongcheng received everything inside the Space. Then he turned to the person and said, "Junior Brother, I'm not doubting the Sect Master, I just can't believe it."
The person glanced at Jiang Dongcheng and said, "Tomorrow, someone will come to your house and take you to a short-term training class. You'll have to understand the rules of the Scouring Sea Sect. Only by learning those rules can you officially become a disciple of the Scouring Sea Sect. Do you understand? When you get there, you'll understand the history of the Scouring Sea Sect. You'll also understand what I meant. "
Jiang Dongcheng didn't care what was said. He just nodded and followed the man out of the courtyard. Then, someone led him back to the Jiang family. Jiang Dongcheng's family was all there, so he naturally had to go home.
After arriving at the Jiang Residence, the new head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Zhongyue, immediately called Jiang Dongcheng to his study. Upon entering Jiang Zhongyue's study, Jiang Dongcheng bowed to Jiang Zhongyue and said, "Greetings, Family Head."
Jiang Zhongyue looked at Jiang Dongcheng, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, come and sit. Have you seen the Sect Master? The fact that you came back alive is enough to show your choice. Very good, Dongcheng. You made a good choice. "
Jiang Dongcheng looked at Jiang Zhongyue and smiled bitterly, "Patriarch, would I dare to not surrender? I heard from the Scouring Sea Sect that those who didn't surrender were all dead. How could I dare to not surrender? "
Jiang Zhongyue replied, "You did the right thing. The Scouring Sea Sect is too strong. If you don't surrender, you'll die immediately. Several branch leaders have already died because they didn't surrender or because they tried to negotiate with the Sect Master. Dongcheng, you just came back, so you don't know the strength of the Scouring Sea Sect. If you do, you'll know how wise it was to surrender."
Jiang Dongcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I don't know the strength of the Scouring Sea Sect, I can still guess. They took over the Merchant City in one fell swoop and didn't leak any information. This is enough to see how strong they are."
Jiang Zhongyue looked at Jiang Dongcheng and said, "You're thinking too simply. The Scouring Sea Sect is much stronger than you think. It can be said that even if the Scouring Sea Sect sends troops to conquer the Spiritual Realm, the Spiritual Realm wouldn't be able to resist. In the end, it would only be conquered. However, the Sect Master doesn't want the casualties of the Scouring Sea Sect to be too high. Otherwise, the Spiritual Realm would be in a state of war right now."
When Jiang Dongcheng heard Jiang Zhongyue, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then his expression changed as he said, "Is the Scouring Sea Sect really that strong?"
Jiang Zhongyue replied, "They're much stronger than you think. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. The Sect will definitely inform you and ask you to participate in short-term training in the next few days, right? You'll know once you participate. "
Jiang Dongcheng replied, "Yes, Patriarch. I understand. I'll definitely study hard."
Jiang Zhongyue nodded, then he said, "Bao Yan has already become the Patriarch of the Bao Family. I heard that he also made contributions to the Scouring Sea Sect. Therefore, the Sect Master personally healed his injuries so that he can continue to cultivate. The Bao Family has also been taken care of by him. But now that we've joined the Scouring Sea Sect, we don't have to be afraid of him taking revenge on us. However, we can't be left behind by the Bao Family. We must let the Sect Master know that our Jiang Family is also helpful to the Scouring Sea Sect."
Jiang Dongcheng sighed and said, "I've been competing with Bao Yan before. But now it seems impossible. His talent is better and he'll only get stronger in the future. I can't compare to him."
A strange smile appeared on Jiang Zhongyue's face. He looked at Jiang Dongcheng and said, "Dongcheng, your talent isn't bad either. It's just that you haven't had a good teacher to guide you. But this time, the opportunity has come. You might be able to improve your strength in the future."
Jiang Dongcheng was puzzled as he looked at Jiang Zhongyue and said, "What does Patriarch mean?"
Jiang Zhongyue smiled faintly and said, "You'll know after some time. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You should go home and see your family. The Sea Exploring Sect has done a good job, they didn't make things difficult for the families of the people in the city. However, their methods are very powerful. In the past few days, a lot of people have been killed. These people were secretly plotting to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect. However, they were discovered by the Sea Exploring Sect and were executed. The Sea Exploring Sect has never been lenient in this regard."
Jiang Dongcheng nodded and said, "Yes, Patriarch. I understand." Then he stood up and gave Jiang Zhongyue a salute. Then he turned around and left Jiang Zhongyue's room, returning to his own home.
His home was in the Jiang Family's courtyard. The Jiang Family was a large family, and the courtyard they lived in was very large. Although Jiang Dongcheng was born in a house, because of his identity and status, he also had his own courtyard in the Jiang Family.
His family was doing well. Jiang Dongcheng had three children, two sons and a daughter. These three children had reached the age of cultivation. They had been studying in the Jiang Family's school and were personally taught by the Jiang Family's elders. But now, they were staying at home. Because of the war, the Jiang Family's school couldn't be reopened immediately. Therefore, they could only wait at home.
Jiang Dongcheng wasn't in a hurry. He reunited with his family and comforted the people in the An Family. The next day, he followed the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples to the place where he would be trained.
The place where he would be trained was the former Academy of Commerce. Jiang Dongcheng also met a lot of branch leaders there. These people had all come here for training.
Jiang Dongcheng greeted these people. At the same time, he also paid attention to their expressions. He wanted to see how these people would react and what kind of expression they would have during the training.
What surprised Jiang Dongcheng was the smiles on the faces of the people who were training here. It seems like they were very happy. Moreover, Jiang Dongcheng could see that their smiles were genuine, they weren't forced smiles, they came from the bottom of their hearts. This made Jiang Dongcheng surprised, he didn't understand why these people were smiling so happily.
Before long, the training began. It was clear that some people had been training for some time. There were also a few people like Jiang Dongcheng who were new to the training. They were sent to another room. Then someone gave them a jade slip and told them to study the contents of the jade slip.
Jiang Dongcheng was here to train, so naturally, they would learn whatever they were told to learn. Therefore, Jiang Dongcheng also picked up the jade slip and used his spiritual force to directly explore the jade slip and read the contents of the jade slip.
Upon seeing the contents of the jade slip, Jiang Dongcheng couldn't help but stare. This was because the jade slip contained the history of the Scouring Sea Sect. From the establishment of the Scouring Sea Sect to its current state.
