Chapter 15 - Thousand Swords Formation (2/2)

If the Flying Sword Sect accepted a genius like him into their ranks, they will surely be overjoyed. Hell, they may even consider him a candidate as a future patriarch!

”Say, Daoist Yuan… have you ever considered joining a sect?” he decided to ask him.

Yuan thought about it for a moment and shook his head: ”I did not know of the existence of these so-called 'Sects' until today, so no, I have never thought about it.”

”Then… would you be interested in joining my Flying Sword Sect? I am sure the sect will welcome you with wide arms.”

”...”

While Yuan pondered, Xiao Hua decided to open her mouth and speak: ”Brother Yuan, there is no need for you to join a sect; it will only hinder your growth. Xiao Hua believes that Brother Yuan will grow stronger much faster when together with Xiao Hua as a rogue cultivator.”

Mo Zhou's mouth dropped when he heard Xiao Hua's words. Because she has been silent, he didn't really pay much attention to her. He wondered their relationship.

”If I ever join a sect, it'd only be for fun,” said Yuan. ”However, it is still too early for me to join any sect, so I will have to refuse that offer for now.”

”Is that so…”

While Mo Zhou was dispirited due to Yuan refusing his offer, he understood that there was still hope for him to join the Flying Sword Sect in the future. ”Then, if you ever feel like joining a sect, please come to my Flying Sword Sect.”

”I'll keep that in mind.”

After walking for a few more hours, the group finally arrived at a vast valley surrounded by high mountains.

”This is the Flying Sword Sect?” Yuan was mesmerized by the scene of the thousand swords hovering in the air above the valley, looking as though there was a roof made of swords covering the valley.

”That's the Thousand Swords Formation; it is a Heaven-ranked battle formation. If activated, they will all attack at once, like a rain of arrows. Though, it has been over 100 years since it was last activated.” Mo Zhou wanted to leave a deep impression on Yuan with the sect's power, hoping it would increase the chances of him join the sect.

Mo Zhou's words and the magnificent scene indeed left a deep impression within Yuan, who has never seen anything like this before. As for Xiao Hua, she only glanced at it for a second before looking away.

”Please wait here for a moment while I go ask for permission to give you a tour around as a guest.”

”Un.”
