Inside the great hall.
Sect Master Yan Yan was keeping the Qingyun Sect elder, Ge Changqing, company. They chatted idly over tea.
Ge Changqing looked outside the great hall and asked with a smile, “What do you think of our current batch of disciples in Qingyun Sect? Apart from Mu Lei, the others are internal disciples.”
“As expected of Qingyun Sect. The disciples are all talented!” the Sect Master said as he looked at Jiuyang Sect’s first disciples who were defeated. He cursed inwardly, ‘F*ck you! How dare you flaunt your strength here? Moreover, you want me to flatter you! You f*cking bast*rd!’
“They can’t be considered giants among men. They’re only average,” Ge Changqing said casually after taking a sip of tea, “The core disciples are better. Only those at the Golden Core Realm are qualified to become core disciples. The internal disciples are far inferior to the core disciples.”
“The Sacred Land of Qingyun is like the head of the dragon that is the Eastern Region. Even the achievements of your disciples are worthy for us to learn from!” the Sect Master said dutifully. Inwardly, he cursed again, ‘F*ck you! Your ordinary disciples defeated our first disciples. What are you trying to say? I really want to tear your mouth off your face!’
“These disciples are only riding the coattails of their seniors. They’re not worthy,” Ge Changqing said with a smile. Then, he set his teacup down before he solemnly asked, “Comrade, I heard a disciple of Jiuyang Sect, Zi Linglong, has awakened the phoenix bloodline. Is it true?”
Alarms rang in the Sect Master’s mind immediately. He said, “It’s only a trace of the bloodline.”
“Still, it’s the phoenix bloodline. This is something worth celebrating for humankind. She should be carefully nurtured. Although humans occupy the most territories and fertile lands, demons and devils constantly watch us. We can’t neglect the young talents. We must provide them with the best cultivation resources and environment so that they’ll swiftly grow up and become pillars of humanity. Only with that will we be able to continue to stand at the peak. Do you agree, Comrade?”
“Spoken like an elder from the Sacred Land of Qingyun. Your words are filled with concern for humans as a whole. You’re too kind,” the Sect Master continued to praise Ge Changqing. Inwardly, he cursed again, ‘The f*ck? Is he going to talk about his ideals and philosophies now? No, no, he must be up to no good. Is he trying to poach Zi Linglong? That’s it! F*ck! I really want to poke him to death with a toothpick now!’
“No, no, my kindness is far cry from yours,” Ge Changqing said with a smile as he waved his hand, “Comrade, don’t you agree Zi Linglong should have access to the best resources? I’m sure you agree. In the eastern region, my sect is the place to cultivate. Comrade, for the sake of Linglong’s growth and for the sake of humanity, why don’t you let Linglong cultivate in Qingyun Sect? Don’t refuse me just yet. I don’t want others to say Qingyun Sect likes to bully others. On behalf of Qingyung Sect, I’d like to give a set of low-rank Artifacts if you agree to my request.”
“I’m impressed by your righteousness, Comrade!” the Sect Master grimly said, “You have countless geniuses in the Sacred Land. You even have disciples whose cultivation bases are higher than the Golden Core Realm. Linglong will only be an ordinary disciple in your sect. Certainly, she won’t have the sect’s full attention. On the other hand, Jiuyang Sect is able to wholly concentrate on nurturing Linglong. For Linglong’s sake and humanity’s sake, my sect is willing to support her growth!”
Ge Changqing sneered inwardly. He knew he would not win the argument if he continued with this topic, hence, he swiftly switched tactics. “What do you think of Mu Lei? His mother is a Primal Spirit elder, and he’s a core disciple. He’s not much different from a Proud Son. He’s already at the 4th Extreme of the Golden Core Realm, and it’s likely he’ll reach the 9th Extreme. The foundation he has laid ensures a bright future ahead. Most importantly, he possesses the bloodline of the flood dragon. Your disciple, Zi Linglong, has the phoenix bloodline. Tell me, in the entire Eastern Region, is there a better match than them? The dragon and the phoenix are symbols of good fortune. Should I send a low-grade Artifact as a betrothal gift? If our sect is allied through marriage, it’ll be a legendary and captivating story that’ll spread far and wide in the Eastern Region.”
“Linglong is still young, and she’s still growing. I can’t let her be tied down by marriage!” the Sect Master spread his arms with a helpless expression as he said, “This will have to wait until she’s an adult.”
Ge Changqing’s expression darkened. “Sect Master Yan Yan, in the entire Eastern Region, others would beg to have Qingyun Sect disciples as their cultivation partners. If one of my disciples announces his intention to search for a cultivation partner, the girls in the Eastern Region would all rush to queue up!”
The Sect Master straightened his back and said in a firm tone, “Alas, those girls don’t include those from our Jiuyang Sect.”
“Mu Lei’s mother is a powerful Primal Spirit cultivator. Her words hold weight in the sect. I came at her request. Do you know the consequences if you reject this proposal?” Ge Changqing said.
“Jiuyang Sect may be small, but we won’t stand being bullied,” the Sect Master said firmly.
Ge Changqing’s expression soured immediately. He inhaled deeply before he said, “Everyone has free will. Before making a decision, why don’t we ask Linglong for her opinion?”
“Don’t overstep your bounds, Comrade.” Flames of fury began to surge in the Sect Master’s heart.
“This is how things are done in the Eastern Region,” Ge Changqing said with a smile, “No one can say for sure if Linglong wishes to stay in Jiuyang Sect. Moreover, even with the marriage alliance, she’ll still be considered a disciple of Jiuyang Sect.”
“I have to remind you that we’re in Jiuyang Sect’s great hall,” the Sect Master said thunderously.
Ge Changqing raised his teacup, unperturbed. “Sect Master Yan Yan, there’s no need to get angry. I’m trying to reason with you, after all.”
The Sect Master forcefully suppressed his anger as he launched a barrage of curses at Ge Changqing inwardly. ‘You f*cking bast*rd! F*ck your immortal as*! How dare you trample on my authority in Jiuyang Sect! I really want to rip you into pieces. No, I wish I could throw you into a pen filled with sows so they can violate you ten thousand times over!’
When the Sect Master calmed down slightly, he sighed inwardly. “What can I do against this powerful and shameless bully? What should I do? No matter what, you can’t take my disciple away! Otherwise, I’ll send you to the sun!’
At this time, Zi Linglong appeared outside the great hall. She had just sent Zhang Yu flying.
Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on the Sect Master’s face. However, he quickly replaced it with a sneer before he said, “I’ll remember your words. I’ll have to ask your Sect Master about them when I visit Qingyun Sect. I want to ask if this is the way Qingyun Sect does things. If this is really the way your sect does things, I’ll have to visit the Hundred Elixir Garden and Life and Death Sword Sect.”
“You!” Ge Changqing took a deep breath to calm down. Then, he said, “Comrade, let me give you a piece of advice. If you reject this, Qingyun Sect will be humiliated. Mu Lei and his mother would become laughingstocks in the sect. At that time… Anyway, don’t say I didn’t warn you..”
“Jiuyang Sect is founded with the sun in mind. We might not have much, but we’re ready to burn both jade and the common stone,” the Sect Master said before he raised his teacup.
At this time, the situation outside changed again.
The Sect Master who had been keeping an eye on the changes outside chuckled before he said, “Nine Suns! Nice! As expected of a peerless disciple who appeared only once every millennium. It seems like core disciples aren’t all that great.”
“What?!” Ge Changqing’s expression turned hideous as he hastily flew out of the hall.

…
Outside the great hall.
Mu Lei nearly snapped when he heard Linglong’s mocking words.
He was a core disciple of Qingyun Sect and the son of a Primal Spirit Grand Elder. Everyone admired his talents, and the other sects worshiped him. How could he endure being mocked?
Mu Lei managed to reign in his temper. He decided to be honest so he said, “Nice. As expected of someone who caught my attention. Zi Linglong, I’ll give you a chance to be my cultivation partner.”
“Be your cultivation partner? Are you worthy?” Zi Linglong retorted. She was inwardly surprised. Then, she stepped forward and said domineeringly, “Let’s see what core disciples of Qingyun Sect are made of!”
Zi Linglong raised her hand. Mana surged immediately before a ball of flame appeared. Then, a fiery lightning bolt struck Mu Lei’s head, sending him flying.
“How dare you?!” Mu Lei was infuriated. With a flurry of movements, the power in his body surged out. Soon after, the silhouette of a flood dragon appeared behind him. His strength seemed to surpass that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
“Rending Claw!” When Mu Lei cast the spell, the flood dragon behind it extended its claws and sailed toward Linglong.
Mu Lei’s strength shocked the disciples watching the fight. They instinctively retreated.
“Nine Suns!” Zi Linglong was not flustered. A Vision began to appear behind her. Nine suns rose and hovered in the air. The nine balls of flames brought with them a heavy pressure. When she waved her hand, the nine suns shot toward the dragon, easily shattering the dragon’s claws.
Bam!
The battle was not over yet. The suns exploded and sent Mu Lei reeling from the impact. His tunic was ripped, and his body was nearly destroyed.
Ge Changqing flew out of the great hall and protected Mu Lei at the critical moment. Even then, Mu Lei was still covered in blood and burns.
Mu Lei howled and struggled. His eyes were bloodshot as he screamed, “I’ll kill you! I’ll! Kill! You!”
“Cut that out!” Ge Changqing said sternly. Then, he looked at Zi Linglong and asked, “Will you join Qingyun Sect? You’ll definitely be a core disciple in the sect. You can learn many Special Abilities there. You’ll have access to cultivation resources that are 1,000 times better than what you get here.”
“No thanks,” Zi Linglong said coldly.
“Very well!” Ge Changqing grabbed Mu Lei and leaped into the air. At the same time, he said, “We’re leaving!”
The other disciples followed Ge Chanqing.
The Sect Master frowned as he watched Ge Changqing. Something seemed to be troubling him.
As Zi Linglong looked at their backs, she thought to herself, ‘This is another deviation. I can’t afford to wait any longer!’
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming’s heart felt heavy. “Qingyun Sect…”
Qingyun Sect was like the overlord of the Eastern Region. It was almost invincible.
“Mu Lei…” Jiang Ming recalled the other party’s vicious expression before he left. He flipped open the Human Path Records.
Swoosh!
Name: Mu Lei
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Fourth Extreme Golden Core Realm.
Background: Core disciple of Qingyun Sect.
Relationship: -91
Innate Talent: Eight stars (primary flood dragon bloodline)
Status: Came to Jiuyang Sect determined and confident about winning but was badly defeated and driven back. His pride has gotten the best of him. Before leaving Jiuyang Sect, he swore to get Linglong back no matter what. He plans to capture everyone on Chuyang Peak and torture them while he makes her watch. He wants her to know the consequences of offending him. After obtaining the power from her phoenix bloodline, he plans to torture her to death.
“Sh*t!” Killing intent rose in Jiang Ming’s heart immediately. “Even if the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect makes a move, I’ll grind his bones to dust, let alone a Qing Yun Sect disciple!”
