Chapter 389: Chapter 389: The Struggle, It’s Coming!

Zhu Chongjiu raised his head, his eyes brimming with hot tears.

It turned out the Master knew everything.

But this time, he came not for himself, but for Lu Chen!

"Disciple still has a question that baffles him!"

Upon hearing these words, the other elders instantly understood Zhu Chongjiu’s implication!

"Speak."

Danyang Zi nodded slightly, his oppressive aura dissolved away, and the other elders stood up, albeit with bowed heads and ears down, their gazes flickering towards Zhu Chongjiu from the corners of their eyes.

They knew it, but they still wanted to hear him say it himself.

"Today I heard the eldest senior brother say that Haotian Sect has found a secret realm, and our Casting Gear Pavilion also got a few spots! The disciple wishes to inquire whether his own disciple has the eligibility to compete for those spots?"

Danyang Zi’s eyebrows raised as he said, "A secret realm of Haotian Sect?"

With that, he turned to look at Li Haorong.

Under that authoritative gaze, Li Haorong explained the news from Haotian Sect.

A moment later, Danyang Zi knew the details and spoke with a cold voice, "As long as that Lu Chen is already a disciple of the sect, he can participate in the sect’s selection. It doesn’t matter if he has the five Spirit Roots, or even if he were a mere mortal, he still has that right! Hao Rong, all these years I have not concerned myself with the affairs of the sect, instead focusing on seeking a breakthrough. I entrusted the major affairs of the sect to your Enforcement Hall, yet you have disappointed me greatly!"

Li Haorong quickly knelt down, "Master, this disciple acknowledges his mistakes."

"None of you should feel that I am showing favoritism towards little nine. His nature is honest and simple, he does not strive for conflict, focusing solely on Artifact Refining. Now, he has finally taken a disciple, which is a fortunate event for the sect! Even if he has the five Spirit Roots, you should respect him for little nine’s sake! After all, he is your senior brother, together you have cultivated for a hundred years, even raising a dog would bring about affection."

For a cultivator like Danyang Zi, these words were spoken with great weight.

"Disciple understands his wrong."

The other several people also knelt down one after another.

"I hope you truly understand your mistake," Danyang Zi huffed lightly before continuing, "The secret realm of Haotian Sect is evidently not simple. It seems to benefit the second and third rate sects, but it’s not that straightforward; those who go must remain vigilant. The motives of these first-rate sects are not something we can rashly speculate about! Have you all remembered this?"

"Disciple remembers the Master’s teachings!"

Danyang Zi nodded and added, "I won’t be partaking in the selection process for the sect. I leave it entirely up to you to conduct it. I hope you won’t disappoint me, and ensure fairness, justice, and transparency in the selection. If anyone dares to harbor selfish intentions, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

At this point, Danyang Zi remembered something else and asked, "Aside from our Ji Pavilion, are there any other sects among the third-rate ones?"

Li Haorong quickly replied, "There are also the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, Hundred Medicine Hall, and Yunfu Sect!"

"In that case," Danyang Zi pondered for a moment and then said, "once the candidates are decided, have them come find me! The matter is probably not as simple as it seems!"

As the sound of his voice faded, Danyang Zi’s figure vanished, returning to his cave abode, leaving the others exchanging bewildered looks.

Zhu Chongjiu was in high spirits, now that Danyang Zi was backing him, he could rest assured and let Lu Chen cultivate in peace.

As for the eligibility to go to the Haotian Sect secret realm, he didn’t give it much thought, not believing Lu Chen would be able to snatch a spot.

Danyang Zi had said those at the Foundation Establishment Stage could participate in the selection. Although the sect’s disciples were not skilled in competition, there were quite a few at the late stages of Foundation Establishment, with fire manipulation techniques polished to perfection. Lu Chen, a mere Loose Cultivator who had just entered the sect, might not be able to triumph.

For that spot, it was just as Lu Chen had said, one would need to compete for it.

And Danyang Zi’s words confirmed this point, deeply moving Zhu Chongjiu’s heart!

"Senior brothers, this junior will take his leave first!"

Turning around, he clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to the eight elders, showing the courtesy of a junior, then hastened to his own valley!

But as soon as he stepped into his cave abode, a blast of intense heat hit him in the face, startling Zhu Chongjiu into rushing forward!

He was immediately stunned by the scene before him!
