638 Joining the Dao Sec

Majestic Yuan Power rippled in the sky, accompanied by an endless pressure asit spread. Under this pressure, everyone on the mountaintop felt the Yuan Powerwithin their bodies begin to show signs of solidifying, immediately causingshock to arise in their hearts. As expected of the super sect experts, justtheir pressure alone was already so powerful…

Wu Dao and Liu Tong faced each other in the sky, a dark and cold look in theireyes. One could faintly see murderous desire surface within their eyes. It wasvery difficult to imagine that these two had joined forces to fight the expertsfrom the Western Xuan Region not long ago. Now however, they showed signs thatthey were about to meet on the battlefield.

Lin Dong was also a little stunned when he saw this scene. Clearly, he alsodid not expect that the two of them would turn against each other so quickly.Moreover, it was obvious from their expressions that they would not hold backat all.

“Looks like there is something amiss between the Yuan Gate and the Dao Sect…”Lin Dong softly muttered.

“If that fellow from back then was allowed to grow smoothly, he woulddefinitely be a giant like existence now. Such a loss was truly like cuttingoff the flesh of the Dao Sect. Do you think that kind of genius with bothunparalleled talent and character was so easy to find?”

Lin Dong nodded slightly. He did not know much about that legendary ruthlesssenior from Dao Sect. Therefore, he was unaware of just how powerful thisperson would be now if he was allowed to live. However, from Little Marten’swords, he could vaguely understand a little. After all, there were not manypeople who could get Little Marten, this proud fellow, to say such words.

“Why did that senior charge up to the Yuan Gate? Why did the chief of the DaoSect sit back and let him be killed by the Yuan Gate?” Lin Dong could not helpbut ask.

“I am also not very certain about what happened back then. After all, it was amatter that occurred in the Eastern Xuan Region. However, even if the chief ofthe Dao Sect was to intervene, it was likely impossible to rescue that fellow.It was not without reason that the Yuan Gate could become the strongest supersect within the Eastern Xuan Region. Heh, otherwise… my Celestial Demon Martentribe would have long charged over and killed all of them…” Little Martenlaughed coldly.

Lin Dong fondled his chin. He had merely came from a low rank empire and heonly possessed some vague perception about those super sects, that had onlyexisted in the legends in the past. Hence, he was truly unable to tell just howstrong they were…

When Lin Dong was softly conversing with Little Marten, the atmosphere in themidair also became increasingly tense. However, just when the aura of the tworose to the peak, the experts from the remaining super sects at the sidefinally opened their mouths.

“You two, now is the time to select disciples. The both of you are alsoconsidered as elders within your own sects. Doing such an impulsive thing willgive these disciples a bad impression.” The one who spoke first was the prettylady from the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace. Her eyebrows were slightlyvertical. She appeared quite elegant.

“Haha, that’s right. It is not good for the both of you to fight here. SinceLin Dong has chosen to join the Dao Sect, we will naturally allow him to followhis desire. Saying anything else will only make us seem too narrow-minded.”That old man, who was carrying a sword case on his back, also laughed faintly.

The remaining experts from the super sects at the side also nodded uponhearing this, indicating their agreement.

A deep expression flashed in the depth of Liu Tong’s eyes when he saw this. Hewas aware that the other super sects were upset over the fact that their YuanGate had monopolized the past few Hundred Empire War champions. Now that it waspossible for them not to allow the Yuan Gate to become the greatest beneficiaryfrom this Hundred Empire War, all of these fellows were happy to quietly addinsult to injury.

“Humph.”

Although Liu Tong felt displeased within his heart, he also understood that itwas impossible to alter the situation. All he could do was to let out a coldsnort. He swung his sleeve and withdraw the majestic Yuan Power into his body.After which, he stared at Wu Dao in a dark and cold manner. He said, “Forgetit. It is difficult for your Dao Sect to stand out. We shall give in to youthis time around. However, I’m afraid that you will teach your discipleswrongly and end up ruining their future.”

“There is no need for you to worry about it.” Wu Dao spoke in a faint voice.

“Heh, you should wait until the next Great Sect Competition before utteringthose words. I’m afraid that you will end up losing quite a number of young DaoSect geniuses at that time.” Liu Tong laughed.

Wu Dao’s expression immediately sunk when he heard this. The Great SectCompetition was a place where the various super sects in the Eastern XuanRegion used actual battle to train their disciples. The Dao Sect wasspecifically targeted by the Yuan Gate during these years. Quite a number oftalented striking disciples were attacked viciously by the young experts fromthe Yuan Gate during the Great Sect Competition. This had ended up resulting inquite a great lost for the Dao Sect.

Liu Tong looked at Wu Dao’s dark and sunken expression. Only then did hisheart feel a little better. He waved his sleeves and coldly said, “Alright,let’s not talk nonsense. Hurry up and choose the disciples.”

Wu Dao ruthlessly stared at Liu Tong. After which, he turned his eyes away.His gaze looked towards the mountain top and he spoke in a deep voice, “Thosepresent who are willing to join my Dao Sect should release their aura. Thosewho are not willing only need to keep their aura in their bodies.”

Some commotion was emitted on the mountain top after Wu Dao’s voice sounded.Soon after waves after waves of auras surged out. Only a minority kept theirauras. No matter how one put it, the Dao Sect could also be considered one ofthe better ranked super sect within the Eastern Xuan Region. Hence, it wasquite a good opportunity to join them.

Wu Dao looked at this scene before his expression became a little warmer.After which, he shook his sleeves. A large curtain of light appeared. Finally,they transformed into numerous light pillars that covered some of the strongerhuman figures on the mountaintop one after another.

Lin Dong watched Wu Dao, who was beginning to select disciples. He mused for amoment before before suddenly looking at Mo Ling, Liu Bai and the others. Heasked, “Are all of you willing to join the Dao Sect?”

Mo Ling and the rest were startled upon hearing this. They immediately spokein a somewhat embarrassed manner, “We are not considered top notch in thisplace. Even if we wish to join the Dao Sect, it will depend on whether theother party is willing to accept us…”

Dao Sect was also one of the eight super sects. Why would they not want tojoin them? However, they were after all not Lin Dong and were not able tochoose. All they could do was to wait for those experts from the super sects toselect them…

Lin Dong smiled. He was going to head to the super sect next. That place was aforeign land and it was boring for him to go alone. If he could bring Mo Ling,Liu Bai and the rest along, they could be considered a team. It was always goodto have more people no matter where one went. Moreover, he and Mo Ling triocame from the Great Yan Empire and they had managed to fight all the way tothis place with much difficulty. Naturally, he did not wish to see them fail tobe selected. Additionally, if he could bring the three of them into the DaoSect and word of it was to be transmitted back to the Great Yan Empire, it waslikely that the royal family of the Great Yan Empire and the others should knowhow to repay this favour.

Swoosh swoosh!

Just when Lin Dong was preparing to speak to Wu Dao, a light pillar from thesky had already fell, covering Mo Ling, Liu Bai, Yan Sen, Mu Hong Ling and therest within it.

“This old fellow…”

The corner of Lin Dong’s mouth was lifted into a smile when he saw this scene.It seemed that this old Wu Dao was constantly focusing on him. This old man wasinteresting. From the looks of it, he was clearly thinking of repaying some ofLin Dong’s debt from before.

Mo Ling and the rest also had excited faces. Their eyes were filled withgratitude when they looked at Lin Dong. All of them understood that if it wasnot because of Lin Dong, it would be quite difficult for them to join the DaoSect given their talent.

“I also want to join the Dao Sect.”

Standing beside him, Su Rou was a little anxious when she saw this scene. Theyoung lady was unable to control her emotions. She immediately raised her handand her big eyes looked at Wu Dao. That innocent manner caused quite a numberof people to smile when looking at her.

Wu Dao involuntarily laughed softly upon seeing this. He waved his sleeves anda light pillar headed towards Su Ruo. However, the light pillar had just shotout when it was suddenly shattered by a Yuan Power.

“Haha, Wu Dao, leave this little girl to my Nine Heavens Supreme PurityPalace. She should be a little better off coming to my place. I wonder if youcan do this favour for my Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace?” That prettywoman from the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace stepped forward and spokewith a somewhat embarrassed face.

Su Rou had caught her attention since the beginning. She was a little unableto control herself now that she saw this girl being about to be selected by WuDao. That was why she suddenly intervened.

Wu Dao was also startled. He hesitated as he looked towards Lin Dong.

“I want to go to the Dao Sect!” Su Ruo’s pretty face became a little anxiousas she cried after seeing this scene.

The pretty woman’s figure moved and directly appeared in front of Su Rou.After which, she extended her hand and touched the latter’s face while adoptinga gentle expression. She smiled slightly and softly said, “Little girl, it is agood thing to chase after your lover. However, at times, pestering the otherparty too much will cause him to feel irritated. You are currently too weak. Ifyou come to my Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, you will definitely be ableto become strong very quickly. Only then will you be able to capture a man’sheart when you meet him in the future…”

Swoosh.

Su Rou was merely a young girl who had yet to experience the world. How couldshe resist such words from this beautiful woman. Immediately, her face turnedfiery hot. Her small hands forcefully entangled together. Clearly, she was at ahuge loss.

Standing beside her, Lin Dong did not hear what the pretty woman had said.However, he was happy that Su Rou was so highly valued by this expert from theNine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace. Of course, he did not overdo it by sayinganything else. He would still respect Su Rou’s final decision.

The words from the pretty woman in front of her earlier had clearly left astrong impression on her heart. After she hesitated for a long while with aboiling red face, she finally made up her mind and nodded. She timidly asked,“If I join the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, will my big brother be ableto do so too?”

Su Kui, who was standing beside Su Rou, involuntarily rubbed his head inembarrassment when he heard Su Rou’s words.

“Of course.” A joy flashed across the pretty eyes of the beautiful woman whenshe saw Su Rou nodding as she immediately agreed to her request. Su Kui’stalent might not have caught her eye but she was willing to overlook it inorder to recruit Su Ruo.

“Big brother Lin Dong, I will not be following you to the Dao Sect. I will goto the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace…” Su Ruo turned her head before shesummoned her courage and told Lin Dong.

“Aye, you should make your own decision. We will not be beside you when youtrain at that place. Therefore, you cannot act like before.” Lin Dong smiledslightly. He extended his hand, rubbed Su Rou’s head and said.

“Understood.”

Su Rou’s big eyes became a little red because of Lin Dong’s words. Her eyeswere filled with reluctance. Although she had experienced many dangerousbattles after following Lin Dong’s group and she would be occasionally scoldedby Little Marten, she was able to sense that everyone was treating hersincerely.

“The interior of the super sect is not as peaceful as you imagined. You shouldchange that timid character of yours in the future. Do not come crying to uswhen the time comes. No one will bother about you.” Little Marten still hadthat lazy manner that could anger a person to death. However, only a personfamiliar with him would be able to discover a little gentleness on his handsomedemon like face.

Su Rou was clearly already used to this kind of impolite speech from LittleMarten. Moreover, she was also able to sense a kind of concern from it. Sheimmediately nodded solemnly at his words.

While they were chatting, Wu Dao in the sky had already finished hisselection. Being the first sect which could select disciples, he had clearlygained a great benefit. Hence, his old face was filled with smiles.

After he had complete his selection, the remaining seven super sects’ expertsfinally began their selection. Light pillars immediately covered the sky. Theywere just like numerous light pillars that divided these geniuses from variousempires on the mountain.

Lin Dong cold not resist smiling as he looked at the mountaintop which wascovered by an excited atmosphere. He stretched his lazy waist and turned hishead. His gaze leaped past the core region and looked towards the distant areathat could not be reached…

One year ago, those few people that had come from a low rank empire hadstumbled and charged into this Ancient Battlefield, where numerous expertsgathered. At that time, they were the lowest existence in this battlefield. Itwas likely that even Lin Dong at that time was unable to imagine that he wouldultimately surpass those geniuses that had come from the super empires andbecome the most dazzling existence in this Hundred Empire War…

A smile was lifted on the corner of Lin Dong’s mouth. He could already imaginejust what kind of great storm it would cause in the Great Yan Empire when thisnews was transmitted back there.
