Although Shangqing Daoism was a branch of Taiqing Pavilion, there were many powerful cultivators in it. For example, there were many people like Hong Fei who could be on the Earth Fiend List.
It was said that the person in charge of this branch was the junior fellow apprentice of the Earth Vein Sect Master. His cultivation was at the Body Integration Stage. He rarely showed himself and entrusted the management of the sect to several Severed Soul Stage elders. No one knew where he was cultivating in seclusion.
As for the several elders, they had long been informed to adopt a free-range management method. They would not meddle in other people's business and let the disciples develop.
Only when the people from the main branch of Taiqing Pavilion came down to select servants would they come out to meet them. Today, the gate of the Shangqing Daoism branch was unusually lively. There were many disciples around watching. A few Tai Qing Pavilion disciples seemed to be quarreling about something in the other arena.
The Spirit Severing Stage elder of the branch was also standing among them, but he didn't seem to speak. He just looked like he was doing business.
Hua Yulin grabbed his sister Hua Yuxin's hand and pulled her behind him. He turned around and said to the person in front of him, "Senior Brother Xiang, there are over a thousand disciples in the branch lineage. Why did you take a fancy to my sister? I'm afraid that she's just a child who doesn't know any better and would make you unhappy.
The two people standing in front of him were Xiang Dongchen who he often met. Behind him stood a young man with a gloomy face. He looked at Hua Yulin expressionlessly and didn't say much. He just let the two of them argue.
After Hua Yulin's gaze swept over Xiang Dongchen, he didn't stop at all. He just stared at the person behind him because this person was the one he was most afraid of, the senior fellow apprentice of the inner door, Xiang Donghui.
Today, for some reason, these two brothers agreed to come to the branch of Shangqing to select servants together. After asking carefully, he knew that it was Xiang Dongchen's idea. As for Xiang Donghui, he just happened to come together.
Coincidentally, Hua Yulin happened to be here. Hence, Xiang Dongchen interfered with this matter.
He put on a fake smile and said, "What's wrong, Hua Yulin? It's your sister's good fortune that I've taken a fancy to her. What's wrong with her following me?"
Hua Yuxin, who was standing behind him, looked at Xiang Dongchen with disdain and said, "You chose young and beautiful female cultivators as your attendants. I can tell at a glance that you have bad intentions."
These words hit Xiang Dongchen's vital point. In fact, he really did want to divide his lineage and take in a concubine. Unable to back down, Xiang Dongchen's skin was thick to the extreme. He simply admitted on the spot, "That's right. I see Sister Yu Xin suffering in the branch vein. It would be better for you to follow me to the main vein and enjoy a comfortable life. There are plenty of cultivation resources in my cave residence. If you were to pile them up, you would be able to reach the Spirit Severing stage."
Hua Yulin didn't take his words seriously at all. He only said to Xiang Donghui, who was behind him, "My sister has already been chosen. The documents have also fallen into the hands of the branch elders. Now, all that's left is to come and get him. I think you'd better find someone else for this. "
Facing Hua Yulin, who was at the Spirit Severing stage, he couldn't be unyielding. However, this was related to his sister's cultivation path. This time, he couldn't let go no matter what. Even if he offended Xiang Donghui, he wouldn't hesitate. However, in his heart, he secretly wondered why Yi Tian still hadn't come. It had been three days, and there wasn't even a message from him.
However, Xiang Donghui didn't say much. He turned and saluted to the steward elder, "The documents have arrived, but the person has yet to appear. I remember that the sect has a rule that the person must be picked up personally. If the person doesn't come by the time, it will be considered a forfeit. We will be qualified to pick someone else. "
The branch elder stroked his beard and said, "There is such a rule. There are still a few hours left. Junior Martial Brother Xiang, please don't be impatient." After all, with Xiang Donghui's cultivation base, there was a high probability that he could reach the Spirit Severing stage. Therefore, these elders didn't dare to call themselves seniors to avoid making him unhappy.
Hua Yulin spoke up again, "I know that the sect has a rule that says that the chosen person must agree to the selection before the selection can take place. As the saying goes, a forcefully picked melon is not sweet. Senior Martial Brother Xiang, don't force it. "
Hua Yuxin also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, how can we force people?"
Xiang Dongchen's face fell. These words were reasonable. There was no such thing as forcing people to buy or sell. However, Xiang Donghui said with a disdainful face, "As the senior martial brother of the Spirit Severing stage, I naturally have the right to assign tasks to the branch disciples. If you don't go with my brother in two hours, then go to the Ailao Mountain Mine to be a supervisor. The term of one round is a hundred years. As long as you can endure it, it will be fine. "After saying that, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
This matter was not a joke. Hua Yulin's face also changed slightly. The Ailao Mountain was not a place where people could stay. It was still unknown whether one could come back after a term of one round was a hundred years. Not to mention, the consequences of letting his inexperienced sister go there were unimaginable.
Hua Yuxin also understood the situation there. She was also shocked, but looking at Xiang Dongchen's appearance, her face revealed a determined expression.
Thus, everyone was speechless for a moment and silently waited. Hua Yulin secretly notified Yi Tian to hurry him up. After sending out the message, there was no reply. His heart was in a mess, but his expression did not change, and he did not reveal the slightest bit of fear.
Two hours quickly passed. Xiang Dongchen looked at Hua Yulin and Hua Yuxin with a smug expression. His eyes also revealed a look of determination.
After a while, the branch elder said, "It's about time. In view of the main branch's disciples not arriving in time, I will announce …"
"Elder, please wait." A voice came out of nowhere. Then, a green light flashed in the sky a few times before landing on the drill ground. When the light faded, Yi Tian walked over confidently and said to everyone, "I was delayed by something. Please forgive me, elder."
"You are the person who made the request?"
"That's right." Yi Tian took out his identity jade tablet and handed it over.
The elder took it and checked it. It was indeed the same as the one on the application document. Then, he said expressionlessly, "The person who made the request can arrive in time and take the disciple away."
He reached out and wrote a few strokes at the end of the document. Then, he called Hua Yuxin forward to take out her identity jade tablet and leave behind the seal. The entire procedure was completed.
After doing all this, the branch elder turned around and ordered the surrounding people to disperse. He himself also left the place in a flash.
Now, there were only a few people left. Among them, the most embarrassed was Xiang Dongchen. He muttered, "You're ruining my plans again. Why do I keep bumping into you recently?"
He turned around and secretly sent a voice transmission to Xiang Donghui behind him. A fierce look flashed across the latter's eyes. Then, he raised his hand to stop Xiang Dongchen from speaking.
Xiang Donghui slowly walked forward and sized up Yi Tian. He said, "I heard that you used the Cloud Ascension Stairs to reach the fourth level of the Inheritance Temple. I guess you are not weak."
"Oh, you heard about it from Murong Feixue?" Yi Tian was slightly surprised.
"No." Xiang Donghui's expression was a little unnatural. It was obvious that he thought of something when he heard Murong Feixue's name.
Then, he sent a voice transmission privately. "I really want to spar with you, but I have to wait until you pass the Heavenly Tribulation. I hope you don't disappoint me. Also, stay away from Murong Feixue. That woman is not simple. "
