Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Merger

Rao Xiaofan withdrew the pressure and said, "Come up!"

The elderly elder flew up and came before Rao Xiaofan, cupping his hands, "May I ask where your sect’s master is located?"

"Follow me!"

Rao Xiaofan led the elderly elder to Yan Rufeng.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, an elder from Lanshan Sect seeks an audience."

"Bring him in."

"As you command!"

The elderly elder approached Yan Rufeng and cupped his hands, "This old man Geng Ming greets Sect Master Yan!"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Elder Geng, if you dissolve Lanshan Sect now, I will overlook what Jing Ping has done to my Dragon Abyss Sect and spare everyone in Lanshan Sect."

"Sect Master Yan, our Lanshan Sect cannot dissolve!" Geng Ming stated directly.

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng sneered.

"What do you mean by this?"

Geng Ming cupped his hands, "Sect Master Yan, you can think about it. If our Lanshan Sect is dissolved, this area within thirty thousand miles will become ownerless territory. By then, Yuanmu Valley will surely support a new sect to govern this area, and your sect will inevitably face more troubles!"

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng smiled.

"Elder Geng, you need not worry about that. If Yuanmu Valley dares to provoke my Dragon Abyss Sect, they will meet the same fate as the Sea Sky Sect."

"Sect Master Yan, that is absolutely not possible, Yuanmu Valley is not like our Lanshan Sect, nor the Sea Sky Sect. If they were destroyed, it wouldn’t matter. But Yuanmu Valley not only governs a range of one hundred thousand kilometers, they are also directly under the Green Moon Palace. The power of Green Moon Palace is something you must be aware of. Even the sects ranked in the top ten on the Canglong Star must give them some respect, which shows Yuanmu Valley cannot be provoked," Geng Ming said earnestly.

Yan Rufeng certainly knew about Green Moon Palace, to which Yuanmu Valley was affiliated. When on Earth, Yan Rufeng once gave Liu Ping’er a cultivation technique from Green Moon Palace.

Green Moon Palace has no male disciples, and among its many female disciples, those naturally born with seductive bones are countless. All sect disciples practice seductive cultivation techniques and are skilled in illusion techniques that confuse people.

When Geng Ming said even the top ten sects have to give Green Moon Palace some respect, Yan Rufeng believed it was because Geng Ming did not understand Green Moon Palace well enough. Yan Rufeng knew that Green Moon Palace does not like fighting and does not seek fame or fortune.

If the Sect Master of Green Moon Palace were willing, this sect could easily be among the top three in the sect rankings.

Yan Rufeng fell into deep thought.

"Though it wouldn’t be a problem to destroy Yuanmu Valley, destroying them might invite trouble from Green Moon Palace. We can’t continue fighting like this. Moreover, we still have no word about Niuniu, Xue Ying, Blood Slaughter, and Tian Lang. Especially Xue Ying, who is pregnant; we don’t know if they are safe. There’s also that Ye Wuheng, who is the most worrisome. If he shows up on Canglong Star and his demonic nature flares up, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Yan Rufeng frowned and said, "Elder Geng, it is acceptable for Lanshan Sect not to dissolve. However, you must no longer collect Spirit Stones offerings from your affiliated sects."

Geng Ming understood that Yan Rufeng prohibited him from collecting Spirit Stone offerings from the affiliated forces. He immediately bowed and said, "I did not expect Sect Master Yan to be such a magnanimous person. With Sect Master Yan in the cultivation world, it is a blessing for all beings. Please rest assured, Sect Master Yan. I will now use a Transmission Jade Scroll to inform all affiliated sects and families under Lanshan Sect to cancel the monthly Spirit Stone offerings!"

Yan Rufeng nodded.

"Elder Geng, you may leave. We should return to our sect now."

Geng Ming hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master Yan, please wait!"

"Do you have anything else?"

"Sect Master Yan, this old man has an unsolicited request!"

"Please speak, Elder Geng!"

"Sect Master Yan, our Lanshan Sect wishes to be affiliated under your sect’s command!"

Geng Ming’s expression was solemn.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly.

"Elder Geng, aren’t you an affiliate of Yuanmu Valley?"

"Sect Master Yan, though our Lanshan Sect is an affiliate of Yuanmu Valley, they have never treated us as equals. This old man sees that Sect Master Yan is compassionate to all beings, and your future achievements are beyond estimation. This old man wishes to bring all disciples of Lanshan Sect to assist Sect Master Yan in dominating the world!"

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed heartily.

"Elder Geng, I, Yan Rufeng, accept your request."

Geng Ming smiled, then knelt down.

"Subordinate Geng Ming greets Sect Master!"

Yan Rufeng stood with one hand behind his back, straight and imposing, radiating authority.

"Geng Ming, I order you to inform all affiliated sect members that those willing to become disciples of my Dragon Abyss Sect should report in ten days."

"Geng Ming obeys!"

Yan Rufeng summoned the cosmic battleship, and with the disciples of Dragon Abyss Sect, headed back to their sect.

All members of Lanshan Sect, feeling as if receiving an amnesty, sighed in relief.

"It was so terrifying just now; it felt like the next moment would be our death."

"Thankfully, everything’s fine. It’s finally over."

"We are alive thanks to Elder Geng; otherwise, we would all be dead today..."

"Yes, indeed..."

"Everyone, listen to me!"

Geng Ming’s voice resounded above Lanshan Sect.

"We are listening..."

The voices of many responded in unison, echoing to the sky.

"Inner Sect disciples of Lanshan Sect, heed the order. Everyone must now head to Dragon Abyss Sect and become its disciples!"

Amid Lanshan Sect’s many disciples, one stepped forward and asked, "Elder Geng, can you tell us why?"

Geng Ming replied sternly, "This is an order. As for why, you will naturally know in a year!"

"We obey..."

Lanshan Sect, once a sect of over sixty thousand members, had only thirty thousand left. After Geng Ming assembled all the affiliated forces to fill the sect’s vacancies, every disciple of Lanshan Sect became a disciple of Dragon Abyss Sect.

Of course, among the affiliated sects, twenty thousand people were willing to join Dragon Abyss Sect, making it an influential major sect in one leap.

However, Lanshan Sect also became a major sect with twenty thousand people, and among these disciples, the highest cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Geng Ming had selected these people; those with cultivation at Golden Core Stage or higher were sent to Dragon Abyss Sect.

With the sudden addition of twenty thousand people, Dragon Abyss Sect developed rapidly. Yan Rufeng took almost all the Dragon Blood Grass growing wildly in the Spiritual Grass Garden of the Purple Mansion to refine them into Dragon Blood Pills and distributed them.

In no time, the twenty thousand new dragon abyss disciples all reached the Divine Separation Stage. To avoid drawing attention, Yan Rufeng instructed Geng Ming to leave five thousand disciples, and the remaining fifteen thousand also joined Dragon Abyss Sect.

Dragon Abyss Sect, with Dragon Blood Pills that can boost cultivation, would see those fifteen thousand reach the Divine Separation Stage soon as well.

The Divine Separation Stage represents a watershed for Cultivators. After the Divine Separation Stage comes the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and cultivators at the Divine Separation Stage stand as pillars in major sects.
