"Sigh, I thought that you were something. In the end, you still couldn't withstand my strike. That's just boring!" Li Yu put away his sword and spoke with slight disappointment.
When he looked at that demonic child just now, he felt that he was simply a powerful demon that was unmatched in the world.
In the end, he was the same as Shi Potian, unable to withstand a single blow!
At least it was a pleasant surprise to find two treasures.
"Hey, Junior Brother, wake up!" Li Yu patted Tang Chi.
Tang Chi sat up in a daze, his eyes glazed. He then grabbed Li Yu's hand and said, "Senior Brother, I just had a terrifying nightmare. I dreamed that I brought back a demon from outside who wanted to kill us. It was scary…"
"Okay, you're confused. The floor is cold. Get back in and sleep!" Li Yu patted Tang Chi's shoulder.
It was obvious that Tang Chi had been too shaken up. He probably needed to rest and recover.
"Oh, right!" Tang Chi nodded blankly and walked towards his residence.
At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly walked over and knelt on the ground, giving Li Yu a huge fright.
Just as he was wondering, Ye Qiu cupped his hands and spoke with a serious expression, "Please accept me as your disciple, Master Li!"
Ye Qiu wanted to take Li Yu as his master from the bottom of his heart.
Although Li Yu was a year younger than him, the strong reigned supreme.
With Li Yu's abilities just now, it was more than enough to become his father's master.
Moreover, judging from the battle just now, Li Yu was clearly not a cultivator, but more like a martial practitioner, and he was at the pinnacle of it.
If he could obtain Li Yu's guidance, perhaps he could become an expert like him in the future.
"Huh?" Li Yu was slightly bewildered, even though he did intend to trick Ye Qiu into joining his sect earlier.
After all, he was an elite ranked fourth on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, so his talent should be considered outstanding.
The system required the recruitment of a thousand disciples, of which ten must be exceptional.
Ye Qiu should be able to meet the system's requirements.
However, Li Yu did not expect that while he wanted him to be his junior brother, he wanted him to be his master.
"Haha, we're similar in age. It's not right to take me as your master, right?" Li Yu laughed. Although he wanted Ye Qiu to join their sect, it was better to forget about making himself a master.
"In martial arts, strength has always reigned supreme! Age has nothing to do with this!" Ye Qiu's words were sonorous, and his gaze was firm.
"Well, I can understand how you feel, but I don't have anything to teach you. If you want to find a master, you can become my father's disciple. He taught me everything I knew!" Li Yu said in a serious tone.
He wasn't lying about the first half of his sentence. He really did not have anything to teach Ye Qiu.
Though his father did have something up his sleeves.
His father had not taught a decent disciple for the past ten years.
However, according to him, it was due to the fact that this group of disciples had low talent and were unable to comprehend or cultivate the cultivation technique he taught them.
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and felt that it was reasonable. If this Li Yu was so strong, his father must be something else as well.
Becoming his disciple and Li Yu's senior brother was not a bad alternative.
"Alright, then may I ask where my master is? I'll pay my respects to him right now!" Ye Qiu directly changed his words. He really did not treat himself as an outsider.
"My father went out for a vacation and will probably be back soon. However, Junior Brother, I have to tell you in advance that our sect has a rule. You have to pay the sect fee to become my disciple!" Li Yu said.
Seeing that Ye Qiu was taking the initiative, how could he not kill him?
Furthermore, judging from his attire and the flying spiritual beast mount, he seemed to be from a wealthy family.
"I understand. How much is the fee?" Ye Qiu asked.
"That'll depend on how sincere you are. Anyway, that Junior Brother Tang handed over a hundred taels when he first joined, and his cultivation level is at the late stage of the Qi Refinement realm now." Li Yu said with a sly smile.
"I understand. Don't worry, Senior Brother. I promise to make you, uh, make my master satisfied!" Ye Qiu was smart and naturally knew what Li Yu meant.
"Oh, and if your relatives and friends also want to enter our sect, you can introduce them to us.
"If you bring one along, the two of you can enjoy a 10% discount on your sect fees. If you bring two, each person could enjoy a 20% discount on their sect fees. If you bring three, you can all enjoy a 30% discount, if you bring four, 40% discount, and so on. You can enjoy a maximum of 70% discount!" Li Yu said.
As the saying went, everything could be bought by splitting the bill, and recruiting disciples was no exception.
The corners of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. If he had not just witnessed Li Yu's terrifying strength, he would have thought that this was a sect that scammed money.
"Cough cough, junior brother will do his best to publicize it for our sect!" Ye Qiu cupped his hands and said.
Li Yu nodded. "Right, our sect has changed its name. In the future, it'll be called…"
Li Yu pondered for a moment. He couldn't wait for his father to come back. He had to settle this himself.
His father's name was Li Qingyun, so he might as well be called Qingyun Sect.
"Qingyun Sect!" Li Yu said word by word.
"Rise up beyond the clear sky, Qingyun Sect. Okay, this is a good name!" Ye Qiu nodded. Compared to the previous unusual name, Qingyun Sect sounded much more imposing.
…
At night, in the Zhu family mansion, the Inquiry Pavilion.
Zhu Xiaotian stood at the top of the observatory, gazing at the countless stars.
As a star fell from the sky, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Judging from the time, Viper should have already taken action. The threat was finally going to be eliminated.
He turned to the east and looked at the even more dazzling Heavenly Dao Rankings in the night. He waited for Li Yu's name to vanish from the first position.
Before long, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. It was Seven Steps.
"Young Master!"
Zhu Xiaotian turned around with an expectant look. He was about to ask about the results when he heard Seven Steps say, "Young Master! Viper has failed!"
"What? Fail? How is that possible?" The smile that had just appeared on Zhu Xiaotian's lips turned into shock and disbelief.
"When Viper's corpse was discovered, it was with the corpses of a group of bandits. It is said that those corpses flew from afar to the entrance of Xishui Village. Viper was the same as those bandits, as he was forced to death by an extremely terrifying force. His breastbone, organs, and meridians were all shattered, killed by a single strike!" Seven Steps' deep voice was like a death knell.
Every word ruthlessly struck Zhu Xiaotian's mind, causing a buzzing sound to echo.
"A single strike!" Zhu Xiaotian was shocked.
Viper was a top martial arts expert, and his body was comparable to a spirit artifact. With the ability to shatter all his meridians and bones with a single strike, how terrifying would the power of the person who killed him be?
Moreover, Viper had never failed, so how could his whereabouts be exposed this time? And he even became thrown together with the corpses of a group of bandits.
Strange, it's too bizarre.
Perhaps a peerless expert was hidden in that measly small sect?
The thought that Viper was killed by Li Yu never came across Zhu Xiaotian.
