Chapter 267 – Seeing An Acquaintance (2/2)
The eight whiskered catfish looked rather eye-catching with its huge slippery body floating in the air, but no one would bother to observe it in detail. There were countless demonic beasts that wanted to join the Void Sect so the appearance of the eight whiskered catfish was just considered another demonic cultivator joining the lively atmosphere.
The closer they got, the more uneasy Lei Yu felt. He looked around carefully and noticed that pretty much the entire Void Sect was protected by the foggy barrier. That wasn’t the main issue because even if the barrier was lifted, the Sect was easy to defend and tough for attackers. Even though the mountainous cliffs and terrains weren’t obstacles for a cultivator, there was a platform every ten meters apart on the side of the mountains. And on top of these platforms were many Void Sect disciples. Based on this situation, wanting to attack the Void Sect head on would only lead to one’s own destruction.
Attacking any place will result in being surrounded by the disciples of the Void Sect. This was similar to the saying of pulling one hair and the whole body is affected; their defense was completely airtight!
Lei Yu couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on as multiple scenarios played in his mind yet none of them could be implemented.
“Move back! Can’t you see that we were here first?” Just as the eight whiskered catfish started moving closer, an impatient voice to the side cried out.
Lei Yu looked back and saw a pig. Yup, it was indeed a pig that looked similar to Marshal Tianpeng. It had a pig’s head and a fat human’s body which made Lei Yu slightly shocked.
“Friend, you’re here to become a disciple of the Void Sect too?” Lei Yu asked with a smile.
“Bullshit, humph humph!” The Pig-head then continued: “Isn’t everyone here for that purpose? Unless they’re all here to get a wife?”
“Uh…” Lei Yu blinked a few times and wondered if this pig was really the Zhu Bajie of legends.
“How come the foggy barrier still hasn’t been removed? Could it be the news about the Void Sect accepting disciples was fake?” Lei Yu tentatively asked.
“Fake? Not possible. I had a friend inquire about this who had already been waiting here for a whole day. The Void Sect is openly accepting disciples regardless of their strength, so anyone can come in search for a master. Take a long look around yourself at the 10,000 plus people waiting, so how could the news be fake?”
It was indeed accurate that many people had come in search of a master and becoming a disciple. And the estimate of 10,000 plus people seemed to be on the low end. Lei Yu felt like there was as many as several tens of thousands of people gathered here right now.
As they packed in with the rest of the crowd, Lei Yu’s body suddenly trembled.
The eight whiskered catfish appeared to have felt it and asked: “What is it young master? Did something happen?”
Big White addressed Lei Yu as young master so it was natural Long Er also addressed him the same. And since the King of the Scaling Dragon Cave addressed Lei Yu as such, the eight whiskered catfish who was much stronger than Lei Yu, still had to be respectful and address him as young master as well.
“Quick, take a look at that person in the crowd!” Lei Yu pointed at a certain area amongst the mass of people.
Because there were too many people here, the eight whiskered catfish couldn’t get in closer. It then activated its own slippery body’s ability and instantly shrunk in size. The previous ten plus meter body became about two meters in length. This was nothing special to those in the Immortal World so it didn’t draw too much attention. As for the pig-head, he kept making “humph humph” sounds before saying: “You guys have no manners at all! Have I finished speaking yet?”
Lei Yu turned around with an apologetic look and said: “I’m sorry but I saw a friend so I need to go over and say hello!”
In the midst of the crowd, Lei Yu saw familiar figure which made him extremely emotional. The most eye-catching thing about this figure was that he had a copper pillar like staff next to him that was thirty feet tall!
