Choosing a sect was a common practice, but ever since Jiu Ming left the Ten Thousand Devil Sect, it gradually became a form of departure.
Elder Fen Ji gradually gained in power in the Thousand Devil Sect, and Elder Xue Tian didn't dare to persevere either. In the end, the stronger the powerhouses were, the greater the power of the Fen Ji Sect grew.
With the bet made with Fen Ji before the Nine Hell sect, the entire Myriad Demons Sect knew that choosing a disciple for a few years was no longer just a matter of taking a walk in the park.
Elder Jiu Ming finally stepped into the front hall. There was no one behind him, and it was also because of the fact that the Nine Netherworld Gate had just been rebuilt and that there were still new disciples behind him.
Earlier, all the disciples of the Nine Hell sect had joined the Burning Heaven Clan. With the Burning Heaven Clan being the strongest faction, these disciples did not dare to take the risk of irritating Elder Fen Ji and returned to the Nine Hell Sect.
Ning Luo looked at her master, who pretended not to know him, and couldn't help but feel amused. She tried her best not to make a sound, but her gaze never left him.
Elder Fen Ji had always been paying attention to Ning Luo, and now that he saw that Ning Luo's gaze was filled with respect, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
At the same time, he was puzzled as to why Ning Luo respected the Nine Nether Realm so much.
”Alright, we've made everyone wait for a long time. I believe that you all know why I have gathered you all here today.”
Ning Luo and the others were well aware that today was the day to choose a sect. They would choose which of the three major sub-schools to join and only then would they truly be considered disciples of the sect.
In front of the front hall, the three of them stood apart, with Elder Fen Ji in the middle and Elder Xue Tian and Elder Jiu Ming on the left and right.
If one chose to join any of the sub-schools, one would have to stand before that headmaster and line up in a line.
There was no rule for the distribution of disciples. However, in order to be fair, the maximum number of disciples for each sub-school was half of the total.
”If you understand, then you can make your choice. But before you make your decision, I want you to consider it carefully.”
As Elder Fen Ji spoke, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Ning Luo's face.
Ning Luo nodded towards Elder Fen Ji, bowed politely, and left the line first.
At this time, all the gazes in the front hall were focused on him, but most of them weren't suspicious.
Because, everyone knew that the Fen Juechen Sect was the first division of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and they had the most cultivation resources.
As the first ranked disciple of this year's new disciples, it was only natural that Ning Luo would choose the Burning Heaven Clan. This was without a doubt, and he wouldn't have any other choices.
However, soon enough, Cai Tianyu and the others discovered that something was amiss.
This was because Ning Luo was currently walking towards the right side of the hall. It was the Nine Nether Elder, the leader of the Nine Nether Gate. This came as a great surprise to everyone.
”Ning Luo …” What is he doing? ”
Cai Tianyu and the rest started discussing in low voices, expressing their confusion. They couldn't believe that Ning Luo had made such a choice.
Elder Fen Ji couldn't hold back any longer before Ning Luo walked up to Elder Jiu Ming.
”Ning Luo, have you thought this through? Once a choice was made, it could no longer be changed. Once you enter the sect, you will live your entire life. Regardless of the reason, you must never change your ways of teaching! ”
Ning Luo's footsteps slightly paused, bowed towards Elder Fen Ji, and replied, ”Thank you for your reminder, Elder. This disciple has already thought it through clearly.”
After which, he continued to walk towards Elder Jiu Ming and arrived before the latter before slowly standing still.
”This …”
”Ning Luo really decided to join the Nine Hell sect. What is he thinking?”
Cai Tianyu and the others were all puzzled, especially Cai Tianyu. Last year, he would rather take the exam than join another branch sect.
