Chapter 191: Chapter 129: The Power of the Fake Pill, the 16-Foot White Ape, Seeks to Accept a Disciple_4

The Southern Border Saintess was about to retort.

Suddenly, her expression froze, a ripple of power spreading out, affecting her control of energy, making it less perfect.

Qin Yun’s eyes flashed as he calmly asked: ”Has something happened?”

The Southern Border Saintess looked deeply at Qin Yun: ”Saint Heir Qin, you truly have foresight. Our Southern Border’s pieces have been completely wiped out, including the Primordial Core Realm piece. So I suppose your Demon Sect is in a similar situation.”

She had just sensed the fluctuation of the Gu Insect within the piece.

The private room fell into silence.

Qin Yun let out a cold laugh: ”I have long said, do not underestimate the True Martial Sect. My master and eldest senior brother are no ordinary people. Since they decided to open the sect’s gates widely, they must have been prepared long ago.”

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he planned that if the Demon Sect’s pieces infiltrated quietly, he would find an opportunity to leak the information. However, doing so would attract suspicion, as the matter was under his charge, and he did not know about the Southern Border’s pieces.

This outcome was the best.

The Southern Border Saintess gazed in the direction of True Martial Mountain, eventually calming down and smiling: ”Since it’s troublesome, let’s take our time.”

Internally, however, she harbored a sliver of doubt towards Qin Yun, but did not voice it.

She considered setting up a trap to test him in the future.

A single setback was nothing; instead, it intensified her interest in the True Martial Sect. The various Divine Mysterious Objects appearing during the sect’s disciple examinations intrigued her deeply, especially the Heart Inquiry Platform, which swiftly exposed the pieces. ...

Around the Heart Inquiry Platform.

One by one, the traitors were apprehended.

Luo Wentian had already subdued the Fake Pill power, reverting to his previous calmness, no longer imbued with the dominating Thunderous Power.

The White Ape reverted to his usual form.

He respectfully bowed to Luo Wentian: ”Master Uncle!”

Luo Wentian smiled warmly: ”Tiansheng, you’ve done well.”

He was even more amazed by his ninth junior brother’s prowess, with even his subordinate, the Little White Ape, being so formidable, never having revealed its strength before.

Luo Wentian glanced at the traitors and gestured for Xiong Shi to take them away.

Now that all these traitors had been caught, they could be slowly interrogated later.

He turned around, expressing gratitude to the Gang Essence Realm experts who had assisted earlier: ”Many thanks for your help. Our True Martial Sect will remember this and will certainly present generous gifts!”

The crowd waved their hands repeatedly.

They knew that even without their intervention, the True Martial Sect could easily have resolved the issue, so they did not dare to claim credit.

The Gang Essence Realm experts confident of passing the examination to become True Martial Sect disciples now had eyes filled with hope.

Luo Wentian did not disappoint them either.

He announced the list on the spot.

Among the thirty or so who entered the Heart Inquiry Platform, besides five being traitors, over ten failed due to their inadequate character, being either crafty, violent, selfish, or hypocritical, all having just stood by idly, further confirming the Heart Inquiry Platform’s accuracy.

Thus calculated, the total of those who passed was sixteen.

Twelve of them were in the White Mist Realm, and four were in the Jade Liquid Realm.

Though these individuals had some minor flaws, overall they were good-natured, deserving of initial trust.

Upon announcing the list,

Luo Wentian smiled: ”From today onwards, you all will be disciples of our True Martial Sect, temporarily taking on the role of Guardians, protecting our True Martial. Our True Martial will not hesitate to treat you generously!”

He bowed with great sincerity.

Even though these people were joining midway, if they could be wholehearted, Luo Wentian did not mind truly accepting them.

The crowd responded solemnly: ”We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!”

They felt a sense of pride at that moment.

Aside from True Man Tianjian and True Man Longshan, just Luo Wentian and the White Ape’s performance was already exceptionally formidable, not to mention the foundations displayed by the True Martial Sect this time. They felt fortunate.

This was also evident from the envious looks in the eyes of those around them.

Luo Wentian was in high spirits.

With these sixteen Guardians joining, the middle and upper-level combat power of the True Martial Sect received a significant boost.

In some days, the original True Martial Nine Sons could successively ascend to the Jade Liquid Realm, or even the Primordial Core Realm, allowing for a perfect transition.

After this matter of True Martial Mountain’s examination spread, the prestige of the True Martial Sect would inevitably rise further.

Luo Wentian turned to look at the remaining children and smiled: ”Little ones, it’s your turn for the examination. Once you pass the Heart Inquiry Platform, you will become disciples of the True Martial Sect from now on!”

The hundreds of children glanced at each other.

Having witnessed the prowess of Luo Wentian, the White Ape, and various Elders, they were filled with yearning for the True Martial Sect. Yet at this critical moment, they hesitated slightly, seeing the Heart Inquiry Platform’s power clearly before them.

Luo Wentian did not rush them, merely smiled.

In just a breath, someone responded: ”I’ll go!”

Gou Dan was the first to step forward.

Having eaten his fill and watched such a great battle, he further solidified his resolve, raising his hand wrapped in bandages, his eyes resolute. He was aware of the wonders of the Heart Inquiry Platform, but he had no fear. He had come to join the True Martial Sect and was no traitor; he stood upright without fear of shadows.

Luo Wentian laughed heartily, his gaze satisfied: ”Very good!”

Hearing Luo Wentian’s praise, Gou Dan grinned foolishly, drawing envy from the crowd.

Following Gou Dan, voices rang out immediately: ”I’m going too!” ”Me too!”

They were mostly the children who had performed well in the first stage, the Heaven-Ascending Ladder.

The rest soon caught on, responding in kind.

But even within those few breaths, a gap in the children’s temperaments and wisdom emerged.

Fortunately, the Heart Inquiry Platform was large enough.

Nearly five hundred children entered the Heart Inquiry Platform together.

As before, everyone relaxed their minds.

The authoritative voice echoed once more.

The inquiry for the children would be stricter, as they were the future of the True Martial Sect, and the root couldn’t be crooked.

Respecting teachers and valuing the Martial Path, camaraderie with fellow disciples, chivalry, Martial Path mentality... all these aspects were inquired about.

Moreover, they would also ask where they came from.

Several minor traitors were silently exposed; some forces had laid deep plans, aiming to infiltrate from the roots. If in the future, a genius made it to the high ranks of the True Martial Sect, the returns would be a hundredfold.

Luo Wentian sneered coldly, instructing others to take these minor traitors away as well.

No one interrupted; others weren’t even aware that some had already been removed.

The Heart Inquiry continued.

Luo Wentian focused on Gou Dan.

Gou Dan had impressed him deeply twice now, and he had developed a fondness for talents.

During the Heart Inquiry,

Gou Dan’s answers were extremely firm and pure. ”He has a younger sister? She must be an extremely important figure in his life.” Luo Wentian noted with interest.

He considered taking Gou Dan as a disciple.

However, he planned to observe for a while longer.

Although a Sect Leader’s disciple isn’t the next Sect Leader, the decision must be made prudently.
