Wu Cheng kept a cold face and did not respond, continuing to look into the distant sky, quietly waiting for the distinguished guest.
"Senior Sister, Brother Wu from the Shouxi Sect is really handso!"
"Yes, Brother Wu is soone who is going to the Upper Divine Mountain."
"But if we’re just talking about looks, that You Su seems even more handso."
"Hmm? It indeed seems so..."
"Both junior sisters, please keep silent." Wu Cheng turned his head with a gentle smile, kindly reminding them.
The two whispering female cultivators imdiately blushed and nodded, feeling their hearts beat faster.
At this mont, Mr. Liou, leading the group, suddenly exclaid:
"They’ve arrived!"
Except for You Su, everyone else was drawn to the sight, all looking in the direction the elder was focusing on.
In the previously bright sky, a slight gloom suddenly appeared, and an indescribable pressure grew closer. At the peak of the pressure, a cloud of murky smoke suddenly arose on the open space in front of the crowd. As the smoke dispersed, a tall middle-aged man gradually revealed himself.
"So fast!" everyone thought internally.
The middle-aged man had a stern face, clothed in a black robe, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone with an innate authority.
This man was none other than the distinguished guest that Chuyun City’s cultivators were eagerly awaiting today—Gu Yao, one of the outer sect stewards of the Profound Sky Sect.
On this majestic and mysterious land of the Five Continents, the survival of the Human Race is largely due to the protection of the five Divine Mountains. The Profound Sky Sect is the foremost sect of the Henggao Divine Mountain, wielding great influence in both the Zhongyuan Continent and the immortal sect powers of the entire Five Continents. In this world where the immortal and the mortal blend, the Profound Sky Sect plays a crucial role in governing the mortal realm.
So even if he is just an inconspicuous outer sect steward, disregarding his unfathomable cultivation, he holds a superior position in front of everyone in Chuyun City.
Even Mr. Liou was once rely a fairly outstanding disciple of the Profound Sky Sect. Because of insufficient talent, yet unwilling to part from the Profound Sky Sect, he was assigned to this remote city of Chuyun to manage it.
"Brother Gu, it’s been years since we last t."
Mr. Liou, with white eyebrows and beard, smiled warmly, his words filled with a sense of the vicissitudes of ti. Yet when he looked at Immortal Master Gu’s face, which bore few traces of age, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.
Gu Yao did not respond to Mr. Liou’s greeting. He looked at the people in front of him, his voice as cold as his deanor:
"Are these all the cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm or above in Chuyun City?"
The city lord felt a bit embarrassed, paused for a mont, and then replied with a hunched posture:
"Brother Gu, besides these, there are nine others in seclusion who are about to complete their Spirit Platform."
"Mr. Liou, you have managed well." Gu Yao relaxed his stern face, smiling stiffly and uncomfortably.
Mr. Liou’s withered face looked even more awkward. He had to change the subject:
"Brother Gu, you jest. This is all I should be doing. Brother Gu, you must be tired from your journey. I have already prepared spirit wine and delicacies at my residence to welco you. Perhaps you..."
"No need. As cultivators, we do not follow those mundane rituals. Just prepare a resting place for , Mr. Liou."
Mr. Liou heard the insinuation in Gu Yao’s words, his face turning even more unsightly, helplessly agreeing:
"You are right, Brother Gu. Indeed, you have the deanor of an immortal."
"I am Gu Yao, an outer sect steward of the Profound Sky Sect. You need not be curious or fearful of my arrival." Gu Yao ignored Mr. Liou’s flattery and addressed the crowd loudly:
"I have co to Chuyun City for only three matters!"
"First, to assess suitable sects to affiliate as sub-sects of the Profound Sky Sect!"
"Second, to select talented disciples to attend lectures at the Profound Sky Sect!"
As Gu Yao finished speaking, everyone exclaid in surprise, their hearts ablaze with excitent.
Amazed by the distinguished identity of the guest, they were thrilled by the potential alteration of their destinies.
To beco an affiliated sub-sect of the Profound Sky Sect is a great honor, not to ntion the vast resources they can casually bestow.
For young cultivators in these remote cities, the opportunity to attend lectures at the Profound Sky Sect is a once-in-a-lifeti chance. Even if the status of attending is not even that of a registered disciple, what they can learn is substantial. Those who perform excellently may even have a chance to beco official disciples of the Profound Sky Sect.
You Su listened intently, clenching his fist.
"I will stay in Chuyun City for a maximum of seven days. I hope you will not disappoint ," Gu Yao’s voice suddenly turned solemn, and he continued:
"And the third, most important purpose! Everyone, line up and co to in turn!"
After speaking, Gu Yao placed his hands behind his back, standing like a righteous iron ruler between heaven and earth.
The young cultivators mostly looked at each other, puzzled. Mr. Liou coughed twice, turning back to signal the few elders beside him. The elders, understandingly, stood one by one behind the city lord. Seeing this, the other cultivators followed suit, leaving You Su as the last one, as was expected.
"Co over."
Mr. Liou responded and walked slowly to Gu Yao, only to realize that Gu Yao’s eyes were now emitting a dazzling golden light, like a pair of blazing suns, ready to reveal all the ugliness and maliciousness of the world.
Mr. Liou naturally knew this was the Profound Sky Sect’s advanced secret technique—the Golden Eyes of Evil-breaking, far more mysterious than the skill he used on You Su the other day.
The primary function is to detect evil spirits. Unlike the conventional thod of confirming evil spirits by detecting evil energy, the principle of this pupil technique is to constantly evoke the evil thoughts of those being observed, causing the evil spirits within them to resonate and reveal themselves.
This technique is said to be infallible, but the threshold for learning it is also quite high. Within the Profound Sky Sect, few can master this technique.
