Chapter 283: You Want to Move Him?

In this world, everyone’s bustling about for profit!

As long as you offer good enough conditions, who would be afraid of no one coming to apprentice?

Xiao Yang directly had notices put up in various cities within Qingyun Sect’s territory, announcing that on the 25th of this month, the gates of the sect would open to recruit disciples widely.

Anyone aged between ten to twenty-five, regardless of gender, can earn a hundred high-grade spirit stones by passing the entrance exam.

The entrance exam will feature a ranking list.

Those who place in the top ten during the exam will not only become Inner Disciples of Qingyun Sect but also receive generous rewards.

As soon as the news broke, the Northern Region was in an uproar.

The conditions offered by Qingyun Sect were simply too good.

Just passing the entrance exam would earn a hundred high-grade spirit stones!

For the average martial practitioner, that’s a hefty sum!

You should know that ordinary martial practitioners have virtually no access to good cultivation resources.

The scattered cultivators in the Northern Region were thrilled.

Martial practitioners from countless small factions in the Northern Region were excited.

There are countless insignificant little cultivation families like the Zhao family in Qingyun City.

For the disciples of these families, enrolling in a big sect is both an escape and an opportunity for the family to rise.

Wasn’t Yuanlong City’s Xiao family able to rise quickly because Xiao Yang joined Qingyang Sword Sect back in the day?

Without Xiao Yang, the Xiao family would still be a small, insignificant family in Yuanlong City; they might have already been wiped out by the Liu family.

Now the Xiao family had been thrown out of Yuanlong City again.

Without Xiao Yang’s protection, they had once more become a small, insignificant cultivation family.

News of Qingyun Sect recruiting disciples reached Qingyang Sword Sect.

“This is outrageous!”

In the Reflection Cave on the Back Mountain of Qingyang Sword Sect.

“Boom!”

Qin Fei angrily smashed a nearby boulder with his fist.

“Junior Brother, that Xiao Yang is clearly trying to go against us!”

Zheng Fan cautiously observed Qin Fei.

“What does Xiao Yang have to fight against us?”

Qin Fei’s face darkened, his eyes revealing a vicious glare.

A mere Qingyun Sect, what could it achieve?

If it weren’t for the mysterious Sword Saint behind Qingyun Sect, he would have already annihilated it and killed Xiao Yang.

“That Xiao Yang still thinks he’s the previous sword talent; he’s just a waste who exploded his dantian.”

Zheng Fan retorted fiercely.

He had been suppressed by Xiao Yang for so long, and now that Xiao Yang was finally down, it was his turn to shine.

Zheng Fan only saw how Xiao Yang had dominated him while ignoring the benefits Xiao Yang had given him.

Xiao Yang had actually been very kind to Zheng Fan and the other junior disciples.

If it weren’t for Xiao Yang helping them cultivate, how could they have achieved their current levels?

“Let’s just watch and see what happens!”

Qin Fei contemplated.

“Uh-huh!”

Zheng Fan nodded.

“But they’re opening their gates on the 28th to recruit disciples, and they’re three days earlier than us. It’s clearly a provocation!”

Zheng Fan gritted his teeth.

“Then let them dance around for a few days.”

Qin Fei said coldly.

With the mysterious Sword Saint backing Qingyun Sect, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

The incident with Qingyun Sect back in the day had even caused Wang Ao, the Sect Leader of the Refining Sect, to die on Qingyun Mountain!

To this day, the Refining Sect hadn’t dared to seek vengeance on Qingyun Sect.

Because everyone knew that, given Qingyun Sect’s strength, they could hardly wipe out that many strong practitioners.

That was the work of the mysterious Sword Saint.

Who would dare to offend a Sword Saint?

A Sword Saint could stand against an entire super sect on their own!

Qin Fei would never dream that the mysterious Sword Saint he feared was actually Xiao Yang himself.

Xiao Yang wanted to confuse everyone into believing that there was a mysterious Sword Saint behind Qingyun Sect.

He wanted all factions to refrain from rash actions.

He was trying to buy time for Qingyun Sect to rise again.

After Zheng Fan left, Qin Fei’s gaze turned even colder.

“Xiao Yang…”

Qin Fei clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

If it weren’t for Xiao Yang turning him into a eunuch, he would have already proposed to Jiang Qitian to marry Jiang Ting.

He believed that sitting as the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect wasn’t enough.

Only by marrying Jiang Ting would Jiang Qitian pass the Sect Leader mantle to him and give him the Qingyang Sword.

But now, everything was impossible.

“Qingyun Sect wants to recruit disciples?”

Qin Fei sneered.

…

Soon enough, the 25th arrived.

There was indeed a crowd outside the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect.

And at a notice board outside the sect’s gate, the process for the entrance exam had already been posted.

The entrance exam consists of three steps.

The first step tests stamina.

The second tests willpower.

The third step evaluates physical constitution.

Xiao Yang directly shattered the norms of how various sects recruit disciples.

In the Northern Region, the first step for each sect and faction is to test for physical constitution.

Anyone who doesn’t possess the right cultivation constitution would be directly turned away, with no qualification to participate in the entrance exam.

However, Xiao Yang didn’t care about constitution at all.

What he valued was stamina and willpower.

In his view, if a martial practitioner doesn’t have a strong physique and indomitable will, even if they possess a heaven-defying cultivation constitution, they will ultimately not become a true strong practitioner.

His previous life and Qin Fei were the best proofs of that.

In his last life, Xiao Yang merely had the True Sun Holy Body.

His True Sun Holy Body was far inferior to Qin Fei’s Innate Dao Body.

But so what?

In his previous life, through relentless efforts, he ultimately became a Saint!

Moreover, in his last life, if Jiang Ting hadn’t sacrificed herself to protect Qin Fei, Qin Fei’s Innate Dao Body would have long since perished beneath his sword.

By doing this, Xiao Yang also provided an opportunity for those aware of their weak constitution to become martial artists.

“Haha… this is a gathering of waste!”

On a distant mountain, a middle-aged man in white laughed dismissively upon seeing this scene.

“With even the leader of Qingyun Sect being a waste, why do you think they won’t take in other wastes?”

Another young man sneered.

They were none other than Xuan Xiao, the newly appointed Law Enforcement Elder of Qingyang Sword Sect, and Zheng Fan.

“Who are you calling waste?”

A voice suddenly came from behind them.

Xuan Xiao and Zheng Fan were startled, quickly turning around.

A figure stepped out from the woods.

“Xiao Yang?”

Zheng Fan was taken aback upon recognizing the visitor.

Elder Xuan Xiao coldly regarded Xiao Yang.

“So you are Xiao Yang?”

Xuan Xiao assessed Xiao Yang.

Xuan Xiao, an elder of Qingyang Sword Sect, was a swordsmanship powerhouse of the older generation, a peer of Ling Daochen.

Jiang Qitian had called him out to oversee the Law Enforcement Hall.

Xuan Xiao hadn’t actually met Xiao Yang before, as he had been in seclusion for over thirty years.

During Xiao Yang’s initiation into Qingyang Sword Sect, he had already gone into seclusion.

In fact, there were quite a few old swordsmanship powerhouses in seclusion within Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xuan Xiao held a high status in Qingyang Sword Sect; even Jiang Qitian addressed him as Senior Uncle.

“Are you and Jiang Qitian colluding? Do you have any respect for the ancestors of Qingyang Sword Sect?”

Xiao Yang coldly stared at Xuan Xiao.

“Xiao Yang, how dare you! Do you know who stands before you?”

Zheng Fan shouted at Xiao Yang angrily.

“Haha… I have no interest in knowing who he is. Anyone who colludes with Jiang Qitian surely isn’t anything good!”

Xiao Yang disdainfully laughed.

“Little brat, you don’t know the limits of heaven and earth!”

Xuan Xiao was angered.

Jiang Qitian might be a scoundrel, but in the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. If Jiang Qitian is strong enough, he has the right to be the Sect Leader.

“Old man, take your people and roll out of here. You aren’t welcome!”

Xiao Yang showed absolutely no respect to Xuan Xiao.

“Haha…”

Xuan Xiao burst into laughter, a mere kid daring to act so arrogantly in front of him was simply a death wish.

But just as Xuan Xiao’s laughter ebbed, a chilling killing intent erupted from him.

“Xiao Yang, you’re in for bad luck… Haha… Elder Xuan Xiao over there is a peak Divine Martial Realm powerhouse!”

Zheng Fan guffawed while enjoying Xiao Yang’s misfortune.

“A peak Divine Martial Realm powerhouse? I’m so scared!”

Xiao Yang pretended to tremble in fear.

“Are you going to kneel and apologize?”

Zheng Fan was even more smug now.

“Too late!”

Xuan Xiao glared at Xiao Yang coldly.

“Hmm? You want to bully the weak using your strength, don’t you?”

Xiao Yang retorted nonchalantly against Xuan Xiao’s frigid gaze.

“Hmm?”

Xuan Xiao’s heart stirred; Xiao Yang was looking at him fiercely, strangely unafraid.

“Martial power cannot be insulted!”

Xuan Xiao stepped forward, a tremendous aura immediately pressing down on Xiao Yang.

In Xuan Xiao’s eyes, Xiao Yang was simply a waste who had exploded his dantian and didn’t harbor any martial aura.

However, the next moment, he was left dumbfounded.

To his astonishment, under his overwhelming aura, Xiao Yang didn’t kneel.

Even a martial arts master of the Heavenly Martial Realm would kneel before him!

But this Xiao Yang was showing no signs of buckling at all.

“It’s impossible…”

Zheng Fan was equally astounded, staring in disbelief at Xiao Yang.

He had exploded his dantian; how could he withstand Elder Xuan’s aura?

Zheng Fan couldn’t bear Xuan Xiao’s aura either.

“You…”

Xuan Xiao seemed to have realized something, his eyes narrowing as a sharp light shot out.

“Do you want to move him?”

At that moment, a voice rang out from the woods.

Xuan Xiao and Zheng Fan quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound.

A woman in white emerged from the woods.

“What if I do?”

Xuan Xiao fixed his gaze on her, his pupils contracting sharply.

The newcomer was Ling Xian’er.

Ling Xian’er radiated an air of coldness, and it seemed she was on the verge of breaking through to the Half Saint level.

“How is this possible? It’s only been this long and you’re about to make that leap?”

Zheng Fan stared incredulously at Ling Xian’er.

It had only been so short a time.

In just a matter of months, Ling Xian’er was already poised to breakthrough to Half Saint.

“This is all thanks to Xiao Yang. If he hadn’t guided my cultivation, how could my progress be so swift?”

Ling Xian’er glanced at Xiao Yang, seemingly holding deeper feelings within her beautiful eyes.
