Spirit Through the Heavens

"Sect Chief, why is that old man playing tricks on us? With Sect Leader Liao as his guarantor, he still dares to cheat us?" Lu Feng frowned slightly and asked.    

    

"Lu Feng, this old man didn't cripple our mine or the mountain this time. The Spirit Stone Ore isn't a problem, but the Herb Mountain is a big problem. He gave us a lot of Heavenly Beast on the mountain, and it's filled with miasma. If he wanted to go up the mountain to pick herbs, he had to at least have the strength of a Heaven-lord Level. Otherwise, it's very likely that we won't be able to return alive. " Tang Zhen said angrily.    

    

Heaven-lord Level was a level that only elders could reach in Xuanwu Sect, and there was a limited number of them. How could he go and collect herbs personally?    

    

"Heaven-lord Level."    

    

After listening to Tang Zhen's words, Lu Feng raised his brows slightly. This was indeed a scam, but if it was another way of thinking, it was precisely because it was difficult to pick herbs on the mountain that the herbs on the mountain should be of high quality.    

    

"Sect Chief, have you accepted this Herb Mountain?" Lu Feng asked.    

    

"Yes, why didn't you accept it? If we don't accept it... Wouldn't that benefit the Taiwu Sect? When the time comes, they will definitely say that we don't want it. Even if it's difficult to pick herbs up on the mountain... At most, I will personally go up the mountain to pick herbs." Tang Zhen replied.    

    

Although Tang Zhen thought so, he was still very unhappy in his heart.    

    

"Sect Chief, although the Taiwu Sect's motive isn't pure, it's because of the danger of this mountain. Therefore, the grade of the herbs on it shouldn't be bad. Even if our Xuanwu Sect doesn't have the strength to mine the herbs with all our strength now... We'll keep them for now and wait until we become stronger. " Lu Feng analyzed.    

    

"That's right. How could I forget about this? Although the Taiwu Sect doesn't have the ability to mine, it doesn't mean that we don't have the ability to mine either. Once we have the ability, the best herbs will be like a tiger that has grown wings. It will help the Xuanwu Sect grow rapidly. Strengthen. " After hearing Lu Feng's words, Tang Zhen immediately understood what was going on.    

    

In fact, there were two sides to everything. As long as you think in a good way, your mood would naturally be better. If you think in a bad way, your mood would naturally be terrible.    

    

Therefore, if you wanted to maintain a good mood, then you had to consider the good side of everything and try to avoid things developing towards the bad side as much as possible.    

    

Seeing that Tang Zhen had thought it through, Lu Feng smiled and nodded.    

    

Lu Feng didn't have a good impression of the Taiwu Sect to begin with, and now, he had even tried to play tricks on the Xuanwu Sect. This made him very speechless.    

    

Therefore, if there were any conflicts in the future, Lu Feng wouldn't be polite to the Taiwu Sect. After all, a sect like this existed in this world, and it was very easy for them to do some immoral things.    

    

Just like that, after chatting with Tang Zhen for a while, Lu Tianhao and the others also walked out of their rooms, and soon after, a group of people arrived at the Training Field.    

    

"Senior disciple Xu, you are the only one left in the competition. Why don't you lose the competition as well? This way, we can return to the Xuanwu Sect as soon as possible."    

    

When they arrived at the edge of the Training Field and sat down, Lu Feng turned around and said to Xu Yao.    

    

"Junior Brother Lu, do you want me to lose the competition?" Xu Yao was puzzled when he heard what Lu Feng said.    

    

Even if Xu Yao lost the competition, the other disciples still had to continue the competition. After their competition ended, it would be a competition of strength between the new disciples.    

    

Therefore, what Lu Feng said was very contradictory. What did he mean by Xu Yao losing the competition and they could return to Xuanwu Sect early?    

    

"Junior Brother Lu, we still need to recruit new disciples from now on. It's not easy for us to regain our reputation this year. Are we going to give up?" Xu Yao continued asking.    

    

"Senior disciple Xu, there's something you don't know about this. It has been many years since the Xuanwu Sect accepted a new disciple. So, do you have any strict requirements for recruiting new disciples? If someone is willing to join the Xuanwu Sect, will you reject him because of his poor performance? " Lu Feng asked.    

    

"This..."    

    

Xu Yao didn't know what to say in response to Lu Feng's question. Indeed, the Xuanwu Sect had a very serious problem with their disciples. Therefore, even if their reputation had risen, they still couldn't raise the requirements for recruiting disciples.    

    

Seeing that Xu Yao didn't know what to say, Lu Feng continued." Therefore, given the current situation of Xuanwu Sect, for those disciples who wanted to come here to cultivate, no need to reject them, as long as they are willing to come. If that's the case, we will accept them as our disciples. Then, he just had to ask them for their opinions. Those who want to join the Xuanwu Sect will follow us back to the Xuanwu Sect. Those who don't want to join us will stay and watch the competition. After that, we will choose a sect that we like. "    

    

After saying that, Lu Feng looked at Tang Zhen and continued, "Sect Chief, what do you think of my opinion? Since we don't have any requirements to accept disciples... Besides, we have just received something from the Taiwu Sect. We should go and check the goods ourselves. What if there are some other problems?"    

    

" Lu Feng, you have a good idea. But if we leave early like this, won't we not give Sect Leader Liao face? " Tang Zhen said worriedly.    

    

"Sect Chief, we will use the Herb Mountain that Taiwu Sect gave us as an excuse. They said that some of our disciples went in to pick herbs, but in the end, all of them were seriously injured. There were even some people whose whereabouts were unknown, and such a major incident had occurred. As the Sect Chief, you naturally have to rush back to the Xuanwu Sect as soon as possible. " Lu Feng suggested.    

    

"This..."    

    

After hearing Lu Feng's words, Tang Zhen's eyes turned slightly and revealed a hesitant look.    

    

However, when Lu Feng saw Tang Zhen hesitate, he knew that Tang Zhen had been persuaded by him.    

    

Especially since the Taiwu Sect was very careful. If they did something to the Spirit Stone Ore or Herb Mountain and they didn't discover it in time, then they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.    

    

"Xu Yao, listen to Lu Feng. When Sect Leader Liao comes, just tell him that you have given up the competition. As for what to do next, Lu Feng, you should have already made up your mind." Tang Zhen asked.    

    

"En."    

    

Lu Feng nodded his head lightly.    

    

"Understood, Sect Master!"    

    

Since Tang Zhen had already spoken, Xu Yao naturally wouldn't dare to disobey. Besides, given his strength, it was impossible for him to get first place in the Heaven Immortal group. Therefore, it wouldn't be a loss for him to forfeit.    

    

Just like that, after everything was settled, Xu Yao and the others waited quietly for Liao Yueyang's arrival.    

    

About fifteen minutes later, when all the other major sects had arrived, Liao Yueyang appeared in the center of Training Field.    

    

"Everyone, yesterday's competition was very exciting, and this is the real competition. Alright, let's cut the crap and invite the two disciples from the second round of the competition to participate in the competition." Liao Yueyang said.    

    

"Sect Leader Liao, I have something to say!"    

    

However, right after Liao Yueyang finished speaking, Xu Yao immediately stood up from his seat.    

    

“ Oh? Do you have anything to say?"    

    

Liao Yueyang's eyes were filled with doubt when he saw the Xuanwu Sect disciple standing up all of a sudden.    

    

"Sect Leader Liao, I have decided to forfeit. I hope you will agree." Xu Yao said.    

    

"Forfeit? Why?"    

    

Liao Yueyang was confused when he heard the word 'abstain'.    

    

" Sect Leader Liao, it's like this. Something has happened in Xuanwu Sect. So we have to go back immediately. Xu Yao is the disciple with the highest cultivation base in our sect. He naturally has to go back as well, so he won't compete with us anymore. " Tang Zhen stood out and explained.    

    

"Something happened? What happened to your Xuanwu Sect?" Liao Yueyang frowned slightly. Obviously, his face was full of doubt. Why would something happen to him all of a sudden?    

    

Although the Xuanwu Sect was the weakest amongst the six major sects, they were still powerful. Normally, nothing would happen to them.    

    

"Sect Leader Liao, it's hard to say. Didn't the Taiwu Sect compensate us with a Herb Mountain? But I just received a notice that there is a powerful Heavenly Beast in the Herb Mountain. That Heavenly Beast has injured many of my disciples, and some of them even went missing in the mountain. You have said such a big thing, how can I not return? " Tang Zhen replied.    

    

"Is there such a thing?" Liao Yueyang frowned slightly, then turned to look at Wang Pan.    

    

However, facing Liao Yueyang's eyes, Wang Pan naturally looked elsewhere and did not dare to look at him.    

    

Not daring to look at him meant that there was something wrong with one's heart. Therefore, Liao Yueyang naturally believed what Tang Zhen said.    

    

"Sect Leader Tang, something like this has happened in Xuanwu Sect. As the Sect Chief, you really have to go back. But if you all go back now, what will happen to the new disciples? Don't tell me that you are not going to accept any new disciples this year? " Liao Yueyang pointed at the new disciples and asked.    

    

If all the disciples of Xuanwu Sect left, it naturally meant that they were not going to accept any disciples.    

    

"What? Xuanwu Sect doesn't accept disciples?"    

    

"Sigh, I was planning to enter the Xuanwu Sect. This matter is getting out of hand."    

    

... ""    

    

When Liao Yueyang said this, the new disciples started discussing amongst themselves, because many of them had already decided to cultivate in the Xuanwu Sect.    

    

"Disciples, don't make a racket. Of course, the Xuanwu Sect will accept disciples. On the contrary, as long as one of your disciples is willing to join the Xuanwu Sect... You don't need to take any tests. You can join us directly. " Tang Zhen said to all the new disciples.    

    

These new disciples had actually gone through the examination of the Heavenly Martial Sect, so their background shouldn't be a problem. The only difference was their talent.    

    

Tang Zhen didn't care about this, because the Xuanwu Sect lacked popularity. Even if there were a few geniuses with low talent, the Xuanwu Sect wouldn't reject them.    

    

"There's no need for the test, just join!"    

    

After Tang Zhen said this, the disappointed new disciples became excited.    

    

When Tang Zhen saw this scene, his eyes fell upon Liao Yueyang once again. After that, he asked, "Sect Leader Liao, can I accept disciples now? Because once the number of disciples is confirmed... I will bring them back to Xuanwu Sect now. After all, the internal affairs of the sect are very complicated. We can't delay it for too long. "
