Chapter 146: Ding Hai Sect (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

That Cultivator Luo was actually Xuan Lingzi. Since Luo Jianqing didn’t want to use his own surname, Xuan Lingzi just borrowed it. “Eighth-Level Qi Condensation”, Xuan Lingzi said calmly and released some of his power.

There were altogether nine levels of Qi Condensation, with little differences, so cultivators could hardly know each other’s level.

Zhong Heng had thought that Xuan Lingzi was at Foundation Establishment as he hadn’t sensed Xuan Lingzi’s realm and failed to block his attack. Now, Zhong Heng guessed that Xuan Lingzi was just a little bit more powerful than him, and Xuan Lingzi could hide his power just due to some fortuitous experiences.

A light flashed through Zhong Heng’s eyes. He laughed and said, “Cultivator Luo is indeed young and talented.”

Xuan Lingzi nodded slightly.

However, Luo Jianqing frowned. The “Cultivator Luo” in their conversation made him uncomfortable.

Zhong Heng asked, “What about our Cultivator Wu? You look quite young, must be another talent.”

Xuan Lingzi said coldly, “He doesn’t have any cultivation yet.” Luo Jianqing was baffled. Before he could say anything, Xuan Lingzi continued, “He is my disciple, just enters our sect, so he hasn’t begun cultivation.”

Hearing that, Zhong Heng smiled and said, “I see.”

They continued to walk ahead with Zhong Heng taking the lead. These three men were followed by a dozen of cultivators of Ding Hai Sect. The atmosphere was quite weird, yet Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi seemed not to feel that they were “surrounded” and kept moving forward.

When they reached the last house, Zhong Heng said, “Are you willing to join the Ding Hai Sect?”

Luo Jianqing felt surprised, “We have already joined one sect, can we join another one?”

Zhong Heng waved his hand, “We don’t care about those rules.”

Luo Jianqing beamed, “So if we join your sect, what can we get?”

Zhong Heng said, “The villages and towns for ten miles around have to pay taxes to us. Here, you can have a better life than kings… Besides, you can experience the secret joy of our sect.”

Luo Jianqing pretended to be curious, “What secret joy?”

Zhong Heng said proudly, “It will make you super happy! When you join us, you will know. So now, what’s your decision?”

Luo Jianqing waved, “Thanks for your invitation, but our sect takes a lot of efforts to cultivate my master and I, so we can’t join you. And, it’s widely known that cultivators are forbidden from grabbing ordinary people’s money. I’m afraid you have broken the rules, haven’t you?”

Zhong Heng laughed out and suddenly clapped his hands and they were surrounded by the cultivators following them.

Seeing that, Xuan Lingzi slightly raised his eyebrows, letting Luo Jianqing pretend to be afraid and asked, “Cultivator Zhong, what’re you doing?!”

Zhong Heng sneered and took out his sword, pointing it to Luo Jianqing, “Since you don’t appreciate my kindness and refuse to join us, I can’t let you get out of here alive! An Eighth-Level Qi Condensation cultivator doesn’t deserve a place in Ding Hai Sect. This time, I’ll show you the power of our Grand Master.”

As he finished, he sliced his palm and left a bloody cut.

As blood dripped off and tinted the ground red, Zhong Heng shouted crazily, “Respect to you, Grand Master!”
