While the Hundred Sects Alliance remained quiet, Baiyue City was bustling with activity.
The na of the Lingxiao Sword Sect was still rembered even after decades, and now a force called the Immortal Sect had risen from the ruins of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, sparking everyone’s curiosity about the origins of this Immortal Sect.
Moreover, right from the start, it brutally and mysteriously killed a group of loose cultivators who invaded its mountain gate, further deepening the intrigue surrounding the Immortal Sect’s origins. Yet, despite everyone’s speculation, no one knew its background.
As for Wan Changqing and others from the Heaven-Defying Sect, they were busy preparing to enter the Nanbu Realm while also observing the Immortal Sect after returning to their sect.
After all, they were all forr mbers of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and now with a new sect established on its ruins, they were very curious about what kind of force the Immortal Sect really was.
A few days later, Wan Changqing thought about paying a visit, but he didn’t intend to bring Hao Qing along.
Hao Qing had foolishly spoken ill of the Immortal Sect in front of its Sect Leader. Who knows if the other side took it to heart?
When Wan Changqing stood alone at the foot of the Immortal Sect, he chose to wait rather than enter without permission.
The fate of those who trespassed a few days prior was still vivid in his mory.
However, after waiting for a short while, he saw soone descend the staircase. The person had refined features, exuding a heroic aura. Although the person was male, Wan Changqing couldn’t help being drawn to him. When the person approached, they said directly, "Sect Leader Wan, our Sect Leader invites you!"
"Your Sect Leader knew I was coming?" Wan Changqing asked in confusion.
He had just arrived, and soone was already there to greet him!
The person was none other than Elder Yun Liao.
Yun Liao replied, "Our Sect Leader naturally knows when Sect Leader Wan arrives."
"Your Sect Leader’s strength is truly unfathomable," Wan Changqing marveled, as he hadn’t sensed any perception sweeping over him. How the other side knew of his arrival was truly puzzling.
He didn’t ask further and followed Yun Liao up the stairs.
With each step, Wan Changqing felt the extraordinariness of the Immortal Sect.
The world below and above the stairs seed entirely different.
Most importantly, there was no trace of the old Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Mountains!
Trees!
They were completely different.
With these doubts and apprehension, Wan Changqing walked to the Main Hall, staring in a daze at its imposing grandeur.
While he was lost in thought, Yun Liao said to Wen Ping, who was in a pavilion nearby, "Sect Leader, Sect Leader Wan is here."
"Sect Leader Wan, please co in!"
After speaking, Yun Liao left.
Wan Changqing imdiately looked at Wen Ping, and upon discovering Wen Ping was exactly as Hao Qing described, he was sowhat surprised because Wen Ping seed incredibly young, almost unbelievably so.
"Sect Leader Wan, please have a seat..."
Wen Ping greeted.
Wan Changqing walked over leisurely, then slightly bowed, asking, "Do you know ?"
"I do," Wen Ping replied.
Wan Changqing was at a loss for words because while the other side knew him, he knew nothing about the person before him.
It was sowhat amusing.
After sitting down, Wan Changqing could only ask, "May I know how to address you?"
"Surna Wen."
"Sect Leader Wen... let’s skip the small talk. I ca today to tell Sect Leader Wen sothing."
"Please go ahead."
"Sect Leader Wen, do you know who Star Sword Mountain belongs to now?"
"To the Immortal Sect."
Wan Changqing was stunned for a mont, then asked again, "Let put it another way. Does Sect Leader Wen know who it belonged to before?"
"Yes, Red Leaf Sect."
"So did Sect Leader Wen buy this land from Red Leaf Sect?"
Wan Changqing was particularly concerned about this.
Because he had considered doing the sa.
The initial purpose of establishing the Heaven-Defying Sect was precisely this.
However, as the Heaven-Defying Sect gradually developed, that initial purpose was buried by reality.
Wen Ping replied casually, "Didn’t buy it; just thought the place was nice, so established the sect here."
"Sect Leader Wen, are you planning to align with Red Leaf Sect, or?" Wan Changqing asked, revealing the real purpose of his visit.
Because for him, Red Leaf Sect was an enemy, not a friend.
Wen Ping responded, "I can’t provide an answer to Sect Leader Wan’s curiosity."
"Why not?"
"Sect Leader Wan has asked so many questions. Shouldn’t it be my turn to ask?"
"What would Sect Leader Wen like to know? I will certainly speak freely and leave nothing unsaid."
Wen Ping asked with a smile, "I’m curious whether Sect Leader Wan might be interested in joining the Immortal Sect?"
Regarding Wan Changqing, he had repeatedly reviewed his information and even had Chen Xie investigate. The conclusion was that he valued relationships highly, for example: the Lingxiao Sword Sect had long perished, yet he still cared for its forr mbers, establishing the Heaven-Defying Sect for them.
In terms of character, Wan Changqing seed acceptable. His commitnt to relationships alone made him a worthy candidate for the Immortal Sect.
Moreover, his talent was not bad; being at the Half-Step Earth Unrestricted Realm, joining the Immortal Sect suited him perfectly.
Recruiting an Earth Unrestricted Expert wasn’t easy at the mont.
"Sect Leader Wen must be joking," Wan Changqing replied with an awkward smile, "Sect Leader Wen, the words you heard from Hao Qing that day weren’t said with any malicious intent. He simply didn’t know your identity, and I hope you don’t take offense!"
"Ah, and also him. The Immortal Sect welcos him to join as well," Wen Ping realized.
If not for Hao Qing, he might have forgotten about the person.
Wen Ping appreciated Hao Qing’s willingness, despite being an elder, to personally go out recruiting.
That wasn’t sothing easy to do.
Unlike those other Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression individuals, who act so arrogantly.
