How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Lingzhou...the sacred land of Dao Yi.

At this moment, all the elders gathered in the main hall of the Dao Yi Holy Land.

The First Elder spoke first: "Holy Lord, although we only have a minor conflict with the Myriad Laws Sect, I believe we should show sufficient sincerity. If we only offer a few bottles of pills and some spiritual herbs and medicines, they may not take us seriously."

"Elder, in your opinion, how should we make compensation?" Dao Yi Holy Lord asked.

"My suggestion is to compensate one million top-grade spirit stones, plus three bottles of Heavenly King Pills."

The Second Elder immediately objected: "Isn't this too much? One million top-grade spirit stones is our Holy Land's entire annual income, plus three bottles of Grade 8 Heavenly King Pills—our own stock of Heavenly King Pills isn't even that plentiful."

"Second Elder," said the elder, "if we cannot repair our relationship with the Myriad Laws Sect, we might not even be able to protect our sect. What use would these resources be then?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder remained silent, tacitly agreeing to the First Elder's suggestion.

Yes! If the sect is gone, why bother with those resources? The elders nodded in agreement.

Looking at the silent elders, the Holy Lord understood that they all agreed with the First Elder's statement.

"Since everyone agrees, let the Grand Elder personally deliver the compensation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will handle this matter properly and ensure that the other side has no excuse to attack us."

The Shengtian Mountain Range was bustling with activity at this time, as some people had already arrived early in order to participate in the Wanfa Sect's disciple selection.

Inside the Wanfa Sect, all was quiet and peaceful. Xiao Ningyun sat next to Lu Chen, eating Xuanling Fruit.

"Master, this fruit is delicious, fragrant and sweet."

"You little glutton, you've come here to slack off again," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Hehe... Cultivation is no fun at all."

Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly. What else could he do? He couldn't fight or make a scene. Besides, Xiao Ningyun didn't cultivate much, yet her cultivation level was still rising; she was already at the seventh level of Body Refinement.

"Protector Shen, are the sect's robes, sect tokens, and soul tablets all prepared?"

"Sect Master, I have informed the people at Tianbao Pavilion that they are making preparations, and they should be almost done. This time, our procurement is being carried out to a high standard: the clothing for ordinary outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples is all made of high-grade spiritual robes, with only the samples being differentiated; the inner disciples are all made of top-grade spiritual robes; and your personal disciples, Sect Master, are all made of spiritual treasures."

"Yes, that was well done."

[Ding! System task issued. Please go to Yuzhou City to recruit apprentices. You will receive a generous reward upon successful recruitment...]

"Oh, another new apprentice has appeared?"

The system notification says my apprentice is in Yuzhou City?

"Protector Shen, keep an eye on Ning Yun. I'm going out to take on a disciple first."

After saying that, Lu Chen casually drew a spatial rift in front of him and stepped inside. When he reappeared, he was already above Yuzhou City.

"Miss, the master will definitely be furious about our sneaking out this time. What should we do next? Where should we go?"

"Who told him to marry me off to that eldest prince? He's arrogant, conceited, and a womanizer. I'm not going to marry someone like that. Now that we're out here, the world is vast, where can't we go?"

"Let's find a place to rest for now and set off again tomorrow. We're not far from the capital, so it'll be easy for them to find us."

At this moment, Lu Chen was strolling leisurely along the bustling street.

"Young master, would you like to buy a cultivation technique? This is a Saint-level technique, only 20 low-grade spirit stones."

"Shopkeeper, you're really greedy. You just pull out a book and call it a Saint-level cultivation technique," Lu Chen laughed.

"You know nothing! You're an ignorant fool, I'm not doing business with you anymore." Get lost!

Lu Chen smiled and ignored him, continuing to walk slowly towards his disciple.

According to the system's prompt, the target is the restaurant ahead.

Before he even reached the restaurant, Lu Chen saw a group of people surrounding it.

"Get out of here if you don't want to die!"

Judging from their clothes and mannerisms, the people who came in were clearly young masters from some powerful family. Everyone dared not speak out against them and obediently left the restaurant.

"Mu Qingcheng, you'd better obediently come back with me and get married! Your father has already arranged a marriage with my father, the Emperor. You are already my woman. After you escaped, your father immediately notified me to bring you back. Hahaha..."

"You can't escape my grasp. Only a woman as beautiful as you is worthy to be my queen, hahaha..."

"Miss, it's the First Prince..."

The two women were somewhat flustered when they saw the person walk in.

"Li Haoyang, I will never marry you. There is absolutely no possibility between us. Please leave here. I will never go back with you..."

"Mu Qingcheng, this is no longer your choice. Are you going to obediently come back with me to get married? Or are you going to do it to me right now?" Hehe...

"You're shameless and despicable... I'd rather die than go with you!"

"Oh...is that so? Guards, seize this maid!"

"Li Haoyang, you dare?"

"What wouldn't I dare to do? If you don't come back with me now, I'll kill this little maid next to you first, and then take you back."

"Xiao Qing, stand behind me."

"Miss, I'm not afraid. You go first, I'll stop them."

"Hehehe... What a deep bond between master and servant!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, a voice came from the doorway: "In broad daylight, someone dares to forcibly abduct a woman! This is utterly lawless!"

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs? Do you have a death wish?"

Lu Chen ignored Li Haoyang and looked directly at Mu Qingcheng, at which point the system also provided Mu Qingcheng's information.

Ding, Name: Mu Qingcheng

Age: 20

Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 6

Background: Daughter of Mu Ling of the Tianyu Dynasty. Dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her father to the eldest prince of the Tianyu Dynasty, she secretly ran away from the Mu family mansion with her maid.

"Hmm, not bad, apprentice."

"Boy, do you have a death wish? My young master is asking you a question..."

"Young lady, I see that you are exceptionally talented, intelligent, and quick-witted. You are a promising candidate for cultivation. Would you be willing to become my disciple? If you do, I can help you get rid of these annoying flies."

Li Haoyang was instantly enraged: "Damn it, where did this ant come from? Do you think I don't exist? Men, kill him!"

Lu Chen didn't even glance at these people; with just a wisp of his aura, he immobilized them in place.

"Young lady, all you need to do is answer whether you are willing to become my disciple."

"I'll drag you down with me; these people have powerful connections."

"Don't worry, if you become my apprentice, I'll solve all your problems."

"real?"

"Of course, I never lie."

"Very well, I am willing. Disciple Mu Qingcheng greets Master."

After kowtowing three times, Mu Qingcheng asked, "Master, may I take Xiaoqing with me? She'll be in big trouble if she goes back alone."

"Get up and we'll talk later."

Lu Chen checked Xiao Qing's information.

Ding, Name: Yun Wanqing

Age: 20

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 6

Physique: Heavenly Rank Spiritual Root

Background: Mu Qingcheng's maid, the two grew up together and were as close as sisters.

"Not bad, he's a little genius."

"Okay, then come back to the sect with me and become an outer disciple."

"Thank you, senior."

"Don't call me senior, just call me sect leader from now on."

"Disciple, should we kill these people?"

"Master, no need. Killing him will implicate the entire Mu family."

"Alright, let's return to the sect now!"

Lu Chen casually slid his hand into the space, and the space in front of him was torn open. As the three of them walked in, the space slowly closed.
