"Is there such a Sect?"
"Trust , the best persuasion is—I’m now at the Body Refining Seventh Layer."
"You’ve reached the Body Refining Seventh Layer?"
Yang Xi was startled by Yang Lele’s words, then fixed her gaze on Yang Lele as he released his aura. Upon sensing Yang Lele had indeed reached the Body Refining Seventh Layer, the superiority she felt from having surpassed the Body Refining Sixth Layer suddenly disappeared.
Simultaneously, she beca intensely curious about the Sect Yang Lele ntioned.
A year ago, Yang Lele was just a useless individual. How long has it been that he has grown to the Body Refining Seventh Layer?
𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The most surprising part was that he was the sa age as her—fifteen.
Her confidence was completely trampled underfoot by Yang Lele.
"What Sect is it?"
Seeing Yang Xi’s interest, Yang Lele chuckled inwardly, then said, "Just follow , and you won’t be disappointed."
"Now?"
"If not now, then when?"
"But now you’re locked up by my grandfather, walking away just like that might anger the Hundred Sects Alliance at the Yang Family."
"Xixi, if you’re afraid, then forget it. Anyway, you’re currently at the Body Refining Sixth Layer, quite dazzling. Joining the Hundred Sects Alliance will allow you to leave Cangwu City. As for , I’ll go to cultivate quietly. When you join a Two-star Sect, rember to co have a drink with when I reach the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer."
"I’ll go!"
Yang Xi nodded imdiately.
Yang Lele giggled, revealing a triumphant smile.
"I’ll climb out via the beams, you exit the Yang Family through the back door, and we’ll et on the next street."
"Can it be tomorrow? I still have so things to do tonight."
"Fine, tomorrow works as well, but rember to bring more Gold Tickets, that Sect’s cultivation requires spending Gold Tickets."
"Ah!"
"What ’ah’? Would you exchange ten thousand Gold for reaching Body Refining Seventh Layer or even Eighth Layer this year or not?"
"Exchange!"
Yang Xi nodded emphatically.
"Good, go back tonight, and we’ll et on the street behind us tomorrow morning."
"Okay, but Lele, don’t trick ."
"I’ll be a puppy if I trick you, alright."
"Fine, if you trick , you’ll be a puppy for your entire life."
...
Early next morning.
At dawn, Zhao Qing and others enthusiastically arrived at the foot of Yunlan Mountain to help Wenping set up. From the ti the dense fog covered the ground until the sun was high in the sky, they were busy.
Yet, after waiting for a long ti, not a single person ca.
Originally, Clear Water Street was right next to Yunlan Mountain’s foot, and people would occasionally pass by, but now not a single person was seen walking through.
Facing the empty street, everyone stood as the breeze fluttered their clothes and hair.
Just then, a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old passed by, carrying a basket of greens. When he inadvertently saw the Martial Arts Conference sign at Yunlan Mountain’s foot, he joyfully shouted to the woman next to him, "Mother, I want to go to the Martial Arts Conference."
The boy said this and handed the basket of greens to his mother, then enthusiastically headed towards the foot of Yunlan Mountain, only to be pulled back by his mother.
"You want to get us killed!" she said, pulling the boy away.
As the mother and son left, Yang Lele and the others were perplexed.
Huai Ye chased after them for a few steps, but the mother and son quickened their pace. With no result, Huai Ye had to return, muttering to himself, "Free guidance, how does that turn into wanting to harm them?"
Upon seeing this scene, Wenping rembered the issue of attracting people.
He spoke to the system, "System, enhance the Martial Arts Conference effectiveness!"
"Enhancent successful!"
After a while, seeing the street still empty, Wenping quickly asked, "System, didn’t you say those within seven thousand ters around Yunlan Mountain will be attracted?"
"There are external factors blocking it, so the attraction has diminished."
"Oh, now I rember."
Wenping just realized that soone was blocking the way on Clear Water Street.
Wenping asked again, "System, if soone is blocking the path, won’t people be able to enter?"
The system replied, "Of course not. People naturally desire to co to the Martial Arts Conference. If they’re blocked or intimidated, they’ll definitely develop resistance. At this ti, the attraction of the Main Hall intensifies those resisting feelings and the desire to attend the Martial Arts Conference, causing them to surge over ti."
"The attraction has such an effect?"
"Certainly. When such emotions accumulate, just like water in a bucket, once full, it’ll overflow. There’s a saying, ’Where there is oppression, there is resistance.’"
"You know that saying!"
"Of course. The host just needs to wait."
Wenping nodded.
At that mont, Wenping turned his head to see Qin Shan staring at him.
"Elder Qin, do I have flowers on my face?"
Qin Shan chuckled and said, "I don’t understand you. You’re sacrificing your precious ti for the welfare of ordinary people, yet they’re ungrateful. Faced with obstruction from a One-star Influence and a small Hundred Sects Alliance branch, not a single person dares to co. However, if they knew the Profound Realm was awaiting them, they’d probably regret it imnsely."
Wenping responded, "No rush."
anwhile, at the highest floor of a pavilion facing Yunlan Mountain, a man and woman were observing the foot of the mountain.
The man, dressed in the Hundred Sects Alliance uniform, was Chairman Mo Lin.
The woman wore a black Kao Shan Sect uniform; she was the only female elder of the Kao Shan Sect and wife of its Sect Leader Wan Mo—Xiang Yi.
Xiang Yi laughed and said, "Chairman Mo Lin, wasn’t my plan effective? When the Immortal Sect first recruited disciples, we did the sa—directly placed the recruitnt at Clear Water Street and blocked everyone from going to the foot of Yunlan Mountain. Doing this now, his Martial Arts Conference remained entirely empty."
"Indeed."
"Not only did I do this, but I also spread the word that the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Conference is false and only out to take money. Now, half the city believes it."
"Oh?"
Mo Lin looked at Xiang Yi with surprise.
Xiang Yi smiled and said, "It’s all thanks to that Wenping lad asking for a Thousand Gold entry fee. Plus, everyone knows the Immortal Sect has declined, so collecting a Thousand Gold entry fee seems deceitful... Just as long as enough people call him a fraud, the lie turns into truth."
After hearing this, Mo Lin nodded, smiling with admiration at Xiang Yi, saying, "Elder Xiang Yi is indeed wise. It’s no wonder that with your assistance, Sect Leader Wan Mo is soon to beco a Two-star Sect."
𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Xiang Yi continued, "Chairman, you’re too kind. Our Kao Shan Sect is also part of the Hundred Sects Alliance. Moreover, this is for our revenge. We must be ruthless. I want the Immortal Sect to be destroyed and its reputation to sour to the point where ntioning Immortal Sect makes everyone in Cangwu City feel disgusted."
"Haha!"
Xiang Yi suddenly laughed loudly, her chilling laughter echoed in the sky, frightening birds into changing direction.
