"Yang Di, tell me, how will Xiao Man treat the people from the Four Great Sects?" Zuo Feng's voice trembled. He had heard that Xiao Man was bloodthirsty and brutal, killing without mercy. The Four Great Sects had brought their people to attack them, and they were the main culprits. Could Xiao Man let them off easily? Compared to the Four Great Sects' crimes, his own should be lighter, as he had only wagged his tongue and not actually taken any action.
"Heaven knows." Yang Di secretly glanced at Yue Ran, who was sitting beside Xiao Man with a fanboy's smile, and lowered his voice. "The Young Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect is by her side. As long as the people of Heavenly Sword Sect are sensible, their lives should be safe."
"The young man sitting on the other side looks like the Young Sect Master of Heavenly Spirit Sect. I heard he was captured, but he doesn't look like it."
"Haven't you seen the Young Sect Master of Beast Taming Sect here too?" Yang Di couldn't help but sigh. The Four Great Sects even brought people to attack Wuji City, and their own Young Sect Masters had been won over. What else could they fight with! Su Dan Novel Network.
"Why don't I see the Young Sect Master of Heavenly Profound Sect?"
"You probably don't know. When Xiao Man single-handedly stormed Heavenly Sword Sect, she, with her Nascent Soul cultivation, fought against Yue Tianxia. It was the Young Sect Master of Heavenly Profound Sect who saved him back then."
After speaking, the two of them shook their heads and sighed in unison. The Four Great Sects attacking Wuji City was simply playing house. Their heirs had all been bought over and were as close as one family. Yet, they, the uninformed rogue cultivators, truly believed that the Four Great Sects were here to attack Wuji City. They had eagerly followed, thinking there was a benefit to be gained. Now, it was clearly a scheme to eliminate rivals.
"Esteemed Master Xiao, we were all deceived!" Zuo Feng stood up and said, "They said they were here to attack the Demon Lord, which is why we came. We never intended to oppose you, Esteemed Master Xiao."
Xiao Man glanced at the person who spoke, a smile curling at the corner of her lips. "The Demon Lord is my friend."
"We came to see if the Demon Lord is truly as rumored, killing without mercy, and not to actually attack the Demon Lord." Zuo Feng immediately changed his tune. It was a joke. Since the Demon Lord was Xiao Man's friend, he naturally couldn't be attacked.
"Oh, so now, do you know the truth?"
"Yes, yes, we do." Zuo Feng said earnestly, "We are just here in Wuji City for sightseeing. It seems Wuji City is excellent, truly excellent."
"Since it is so excellent, why not stay?"
Zuo Feng's face changed. Stay? Did she mean to kill him?
Zuo Feng's legs went weak, and he knelt down. "Esteemed Master Xiao, I was wrong. I will never speak ill of you again. Please, don't kill me."
Xiao Man was amused. "I didn't say I would kill you. I was asking if you are willing to stay in Wuji City and join my Eight Directions Sword Sect."
The happiness came too suddenly, like a pie from the sky, falling onto his head.
It made Zuo Feng's head buzz. Xiao Man was asking if he was willing to join the Eight Directions Sword Sect. This was simply a tremendous good thing. Not only was his life saved, but he could also join the Eight Directions Sword Sect!
"I am willing, I am a hundred times willing!"
"For the rogue cultivators who are willing to join the Eight Directions Sect, Shaoyao, have someone register them. For those who are unwilling, send them away."
"What about us?" the people from the Beast Taming Sect asked eagerly. Our Sect Master and Young Sect Master have become your honored guests, will you also accept us?
"Go back with your Sect Master."
"Go back where?" Sect Master Wen inquired.
"Back to the Beast Taming Sect."
"We won't go back. We, the Beast Taming Sect, are moving to the Land of No Returns." Sect Master Wen said, crossing his legs and speaking confidently. "The Roland Mountains have the most demonic beasts, including King Beasts and Divine Beasts. We, the Beast Taming Sect, have decided to relocate to the Land of No Returns."
"Sect Master, then we'll go back and move our things first!" All the disciples, hearing this, happily went back to pack their belongings.
Xiao Man's expression was a little complex and difficult to read, but she did not refuse. After all, the Land of No Returns occupied a vast area. Once the Demon Lord's seal was broken, it had begun to regain its vitality and was no longer the barren land it once was.
"For the disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect, those who are willing to stay, go find Yue Xia to register. Those who are unwilling, return to your Heavenly Sword Sect."
"The disciples of Heavenly Spirit Sect who are willing to stay will be incorporated into the Eight Directions Sword Sect and form the Alchemy Hall." Mu Qi said slowly. Relocating the sect was too troublesome; merging directly saved a lot of effort.
"You are quite cunning!" Wen Ting snorted. "To directly merge into the Eight Directions Sword Sect."
"If I form a separate sect, I won't be able to manage those people. This kind of troublesome matter, let Xiao Man do it. I only need to focus on alchemy." Mu Qi said with a relaxed and pleasant expression. He had made a deal with Xiao Man back then. If he brought people to defect one day, Xiao Man could not refuse them.
Now, only the people from Heavenly Profound Sect remained, looking at each other. In such a short time, the Four Great Sects had crumbled. This was simply the most ridiculous punitive expedition in Cangxuan's history!
Sang Hua stepped forward. "May I ask Esteemed Master Xiao, where is my master now?"
"He is in the back hall recuperating." Xiao Man replied. "He is severely injured, and coupled with the demonic poison in his body, there are signs of it erupting from time to time. Although I have temporarily contained the outbreak of demonic poison within him, I don't know how long I can contain it."
"Demonic poison?"
"He was poisoned by the Heavenly Demon tribe." Xiao Man did not reveal that everyone had been poisoned, to avoid unnecessary panic. With Mu Qi's joining now, they would surely be able to quickly develop a method to resolve the blood poison of the Heavenly Demon tribe.
"Can I see my master?"
"Yes."
Xiao Man had someone escort Sang Hua to see Tian Xuzi. With the matters here settled, she had to go to Futu Mountain. Tian Ze was imprisoned in Futu Mountain, and she had to rush to save him.
"You're going to save someone, aren't you?" Jun Ruo inquired.
"Yes, Tian Ze is trapped in Futu Mountain, and I must go." Xiao Man said with a calm expression. "Moreover, the existence of the Heavenly Demon tribe is always a hidden danger. If it is not resolved, the Cangxuan Continent will inevitably suffer."
"Do you need to bring an army?"
"The Heavenly Demon tribe has many experts and is immune to most poisons. Ordinary people going there will only be sending their lives in vain." Xiao Man explained. "I plan to only bring a few people."
"Count me in." Mo Mo said without hesitation. "Bring the latest weapons I've developed, specifically to counter the Heavenly Demon tribe."
"Don't forget me." Taotie gnawed on a roasted chicken. "You are my provider, where you go, I will follow."
"Get away." Huo Wu pushed Taotie aside. "I am the Master's contracted beast. Don't steal my words!"
"Woman, why don't you contract me too?" Taotie said earnestly. "I don't ask for much, just to be full."
"Feeding you is not an easy task." Xiao Man sighed. "I feel like you will eat me into poverty."
Upon hearing this, Taotie quickly tucked in his stomach. He had been following Xiao Man around lately, and he seemed to have eaten a bit too much, gaining at least ten pounds. "I can eat less."
