Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Visiting the Sect of True Martial Arts (Sixth Update!)

One day later.

Due to the Sect of True Martial Arts’ thunderous strike, which led to the slaughter of tens of thousands from the God-Slaying Pavilion, the reputation of the Sect of True Martial Arts skyrocketed, sending shockwaves throughout Yunyang County City.

Everyone knew that the Sect of True Martial Arts was the true overlord of Yunyang County City, even though the Cold Cloud Sect had risen later, it still remained under the shadow of the Sect of True Martial Arts, utterly incomparable.

However, the Sect of True Martial Arts had made its name over a hundred years ago.

During these past hundred years, although the Sect of True Martial Arts had been rampant and unshakeable in Yunyang County City, its reputation elsewhere had gradually declined.

Because the Sect of True Martial Arts already occupied the position of overlord in Yunyang County City, no one dared to offend them, leading to a long period where the Sect of True Martial Arts had not taken any action.

Over a hundred years had passed, times had changed, and it seemed everyone had forgotten that the Sect of True Martial Arts was a tiger, not a sick cat.

This time, by making an example of the God-Slaying Pavilion and slaughtering ten thousand in a fit of rage, almost everyone who heard of this was instantly reminded that the Sect of True Martial Arts was the true overlord of Yunyang County City.

To provoke it was to court death!

“No wonder it’s an Eighth-Rate Sect, the Sect of True Martial Arts is indeed formidable!”

“Did the God-Slaying Pavilion really think that after annihilating the Blood Demon Sect, they would be invincible?”

“Everyone knows that the Blood Demon Sect was a subordinate sect of the Sect of True Martial Arts, and other sects dare not provoke it, yet the God-Slaying Pavilion thought it wise to wipe out the Blood Demon Sect.”

“Being able to annihilate the Blood Demon Sect does prove that the God-Slaying Pavilion is not weak.”

“What does it matter if they are not weak? Weren’t they beaten like dogs by the Sect of True Martial Arts? Days have passed, and the corpses at the entrance of the God-Slaying Pavilion must be stinking by now. If the God-Slaying Pavilion was really that strong, why haven’t they sought trouble with the Sect of True Martial Arts? It’s because they dare not.”

“The Sect of True Martial Arts has indeed been silent for long enough, and with the rise of the Cold Cloud Sect, people had almost forgotten about the Sect of True Martial Arts. But now, with the slaughtering of ten thousand in a fit of rage, it serves as a warning to others, reminding everyone that in the domain of Yunyang County City, the Sect of True Martial Arts is the undisputed boss.”

In restaurants and inns, almost everyone was discussing this matter.

The God-Slaying Pavilion wiping out the Blood Demon Sect had attracted the attention of the world, drawing many to the God-Slaying Pavilion hoping to join, which had already aroused discontent among many other sects.

Today, the Sect of True Martial Arts’ actions filled these people’s hearts with schadenfreude.

…

Sect of True Martial Arts, Sect Residence.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like if there’s nothing else going on, the Sect Master really should issue more orders to wipe out a few smaller sects and factions.”

Looking at the long line of people in front of him, Zhang Yue sighed.

Zhang Yue was a member of the Sect of True Martial Arts, but just an Outer Sect Disciple, who was currently assigned to guard the main gate of the Sect Residences.

“Indeed, if my Sect of True Martial Arts doesn’t make a move, they truly start to think we’re easy to bully,” another person said, also laughing.

This person was named Wang Qun, who, like Zhang Yue, was also an Outer Sect Disciple of the Sect of True Martial Arts.

Only Outer Sect Disciples would end up guarding the gates.

However, both Zhang Yue and Wang Qun wore proud smiles on their faces.

So what if they were Outer Sect Disciples?

Could any of those minor sects or factions even compare to them?

Anyone who wanted to join the Sect of True Martial Arts had to be favored by them.

Frankly speaking, they could decide who had the talent to join.

At worst, after joining the Sect of True Martial Arts, those found lacking in talent could always be assigned as Registered Disciples.

“Sir, this is a small token of my appreciation, I hope it pleases you,”

At that moment, a fat man with a sycophantic smile approached from not far away and handed a bag to both Zhang Yue and Wang Qun.

The bag was heavy, containing at least a hundred gold coins.

Zhang Yue took the bag, weighed it, and raised his head, “You have a good eye. Who wants to join the Sect of True Martial Arts? Bring him over for me to see.”

“Right away!”

The fat man immediately ran off into the distance.

“Hehe, that’s another hundred gold coins in the account. It seems this gatekeeping job isn’t so bad after all,” Wang Qun chuckled as he pocketed the bag.

“Today just happens to be the day our Sect of True Martial Arts takes on disciples. In the past, when the Sect of True Martial Arts was quiet, everyone forgot about its strength and few came to join. But now, we have not even destroyed the God-Slaying Pavilion yet, just made a small move, and it attracted so many people to come for the assessment,” laughed Zhang Yue.

While they were talking, the fat man had also come running back.

Next to him was a girl around twenty years old, with fair skin and a delicate appearance; she was not extremely beautiful, but the flirtatiousness oozing from her phoenix eyes caught Zhang Yue and Wang Qun staring.

“Sir, this is my daughter, Li Yuanyuan,”

said the fat man obsequiously. “Thanks to the great love of the two sirs, my daughter has the privilege of meeting you. If you would allow her to enter the Sect of True Martial Arts, I will be immensely grateful in the future!”

The fat man was just an ordinary merchant in Yunyang County City. Although somewhat capable with a cultivation base at the Dragon Blood Realm, how could he compare with the Sect of True Martial Arts?

The Sect of True Martial Arts was indeed a major sect. If one could join, they would directly bypass the Ninth-Rate Sects and become part of an Eighth-Rate Sect.

Then, considering his daughter’s face, those customers who were originally arrogant would probably be rushing to lick his toes.

“She is your daughter?”

Zhang Yue glanced sidelong at the fat man and beckoned to the girl, “Come here, let me take a look.”

The girl approached nervously and reservedly.

A gleam passed through Zhang Yue’s eyes as he reached out and touched the girl’s face.

The girl shuddered immediately and took a fearful step back.

“What are you afraid of? I’m just checking your potential. How else would we allow you to enter the Sect of True Martial Arts?” Zhang Yue barked.

The fat man trembled and hurriedly pushed his daughter forward, whispering sternly, “Do not defy the command of the sir, hurry over!”

With no choice, the girl advanced again.

This time, Zhang Yue did not just touch the girl’s face but followed her fair neck down, and finally, his hand landed on the girl’s chest.

Seeing this, the girl clenched her teeth and closed her eyes, thinking that to join the Sect of True Martial Arts in this manner, she must be prepared to pay a great price.

And this price might well be her chastity.

“Look, someone is flying over!”

“A Grand Stronger, he can fly in the void!”

“Isn’t it that only those in the Dragon God Realm can fly in the void? Could this person be in the Dragon God Realm?”

“Doesn’t seem like it. He looks to be less than twenty years old, and the aura around him clearly belongs to the Dragon Vein Realm.”

“Surely, he must be aided by some item that allows flight.”

Just as a lecherous glint appeared on Zhang Yue’s face and the girl was bracing herself, a cry of astonishment suddenly arose from the crowd.
