The next day, a piece of gossip quickly circulated through the third division, stirring up a sensation.
“What? Elder Lan became sworn brothers with a new disciple?”
“Who are you fooling?”
“Elder Lan is the Head of the disciplinary office, second only to the First Elder. How could a mighty Immortal King expert become sworn brothers with a new disciple? Who told you this?”
“You don’t have to worry about who spread the rumors. That’s what everyone is saying anyway.”
“What’s his name? Which office is he from?”
“I think his name is Qin Xiaochuan. He’s a long-term disciple of the disciplinary office.”
“A person who became a long-term disciple of the disciplinary office once he joined? Is he a descendant of some prestigious family?!”
“Of course not! I heard he came from the Lower realm. Apparently, he committed a crime and was captured by the disciplinary elders and brought back here. Then, seeing that he had some talent, he was recruited into the disciplinary offic
“Someone from the Lower realm? No way! Is he extremely talented?”
“Why don’t we get to know this new junior brother? I heard that a lot of people are planning to pay hima visit.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to go to the Disciplinary Court!”
“What’s so bad about that? Everyone’s going anyway.”
“Alright then, let’s go!”
On the other side.
In the residential area of the disciplinary office.
The sun had only risen a short while ago, and the place was already as noisy as a wet market.
One of the disciples’ rooms was surrounded by people whose eyes were filled with curiosity. It was as if they were looking at a famous celebrity.
In the room, Qin Chuan lay flat on the ground with his hands behind his head, looking as though he had nothing to live for.
On the other hand, Dan Yangzi was sitting off to the side, gloating over another’s misfortune.
“Old Qin, you are really famous now.
“Everyone wants to see your true appearance. Don’t keep them waiting, “said Dan Yangzi sarcastically.
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
Seeing this, Dan Yangzi leaned over again. “Oh, you! You sure know how to put on an act after getting a bargain.
“Becoming sworn brothers with an Immortal King is something that so many seek but fail, and it is an extremely rare event in the Immortal Realm.
“But look at you, acting like you got the short end of the stick, as though you were forced.”
Qin Chuan smiled. “I didn’t say I’m unwilling. It’s just that I’m completely at the center of attention now.
“If [had already established my footing, I might be able to accept it. However, the two of us should still be considered outsiders to the Luo Ding Sect. If we were to become sworn brothers just like that, those disciples would definitely be indignant. ”
“Tm well aware of that,” said Dan Yangzi. “But it has already happened. You can’t just continue hiding like this!”
Qin Chuan sat up straight. “Then tell me, what should I do?”
Dan Yangzi said, “That’s easy. They’re all indignant, aren’t they? You should use them to establish your dominance. That way, they won’t dare to gossip about you.”
Qin Chuan hesitated. “Isn’t that a little too unfriendly?
“They might even be helping me deal with the Beast Taming Corps in the future. If I do that, our relationship would be strained. ”
Dan Yangzi laughed and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder. “Old Qin, this is the Immortal realm. Do you really think this is a small place like the Blue Planet?
“You want to build a good relationship with someone. But firstly, you don’t have a powerful background. Secondly, if you don’t have the capabilities, would they befriend you?
“Be realistic!”
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment. “I understand now.”
After which, Qin Chuan rose to his feet and picked up the longsword that he had used to fight Lan Lang yesterday.
Lan Lang kept his promise and gifted the sword to him.
As soon as he removed the barrier, the commotion outside surged in.
‘When he pushed the door open, the noise stopped.
The group outside finally saw Qin Chuan.
They sized up Qin Chuan from every angle.
Qin Chuan clasped his hands and bowed. Then, in a very polite manner, he said, “Senior Brothers and Sisters, I know why you are all here. However, you have disturbed my cultivation. Please leave, thank you!”
Someone began fanning the flames. “What are you going to do if we don’t leave?”
Qin Chuan laughed coldly, and the long sword in his hand lit up. “If you don’t listen to my advice, I won’t hold back.”
‘As soonas he finished speaking, a sharp aura erupted from his body.
The spectators immediately felt an intimidating pressure.
“Mahayana realm!” exclaimed everyone in shock.
“Who would have thought this Lower realm cultivator would be in the Mahayana realm? No wonder the disciplinary elder didn’t pursue his faults and even recruited him into the disciplinary office.”
Everyone immediately understood.
“It’s true that he is indeed quite talented to be able to reach the Mahayana realm in the Lower realm, but this is the Immortal realm. Such talent is simply too ordinary.”
“That’s right. Give me two more years, and I’ll be able to break through to the Mahayana realm all the same. More importantly, I’ve only cultivated for about 300 years.
“I bet he took at least 500 years to reach this realm!”
“I don’t understand why Elder Lan would become sworn brothers with him.”
“T heard that Elder Lan loves alcohol. Could they have become sworn brothers after he got drunk?”
When these words reached Qin Chuan’s ears, he said, “You insensible and reckless fool. I shall use you to establish my footing!”
Buzz—
An ear-piercing sword cry resounded through the air.
Tens of thousands of streaks of sword energy instantly appeared in the sky, obscuring the entire sky.
“Drop!” said Qin Chuan, pointing his sword at the disciple.
In the blink of an eye, the sword energies formed the shape of a huge dragon descending on the head of the disciple Qin Chuan was pointing at.
Qin Chuan had a solemn look on his face. “My brother is the head of the disciplinary office, and an Immortal King expert. His status is exalted. How dare you, a mere disciple, talk about my brother like that.”
The disciple was terrified.
His face was ghastly pale, and cold sweat was trickling down his face. His entire body was trembling, and he seemed to be at a loss.
Ayoung man in white stepped forward.
“Wow! It’s Senior Brother Bai Zai from the Sword Dao office. I didn’t expect a genius like him to show up.”
“Senior Brother Bai Zai is a fanatic of Elder Lan Lang. Now that such a major incident has happened, he naturally can’t sit still.”
“That’s right! Elder Lan is the idol of all who cultivate the Sword Dao in the sect. Now that he has become sworn brothers with new disciples, I’m sure their hearts are broken.”
“Now that Senior Brother Bai Zai is here, there’ll be a good show.”
“Lheard that some time ago, he sought out a certain elder to try out a newly mastered sword technique, and accidentally hurt him.”
“What the… Does that mean Senior Brother Bai Zai has the combat power of an Immortal already?”
“Of course! After all, Senior Brother Bai Zai’s talent is one in a million. Isn’t he amazing?”
“Tsk tsk tsk! Looks like this Lower realm cultivator is in for it today.”
At that moment, the man named Bai Zai walked out of the crowd.
He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face.
Bai Zai was considered a popular genius disciple in the third division of the Luo Ding Sect; at least ten thousand female disciples were infatuated with him.
Bai Zai was a genius from the Sword Dao office. He had reached the Mahayana realm after cultivating for more than a hundred years.
He also had a soul but not a Sword Soul.
After Bai Zai walked out, the cheering grew louder, and everyone got ready to watch the show.
Bai Zai’s cold face had no smile, and his eyes were filled with arrogance. He was like an unapproachable iceberg.
He pointed at Qin Chuan. “Your name is Qin Xiaochuan, right?”
Qin Chuan glanced at him, slightly taken aback by Bai Zai’s handsome appearance. However, he quickly regained his composure.
“And who are you?” asked Qin Chuan.
Smiling coldly, Bai Zai picked at a strand of long hair hanging in front of his face. “It doesn’t matter who I am, but you are gravely mistaken if you want to use a pushover to establish your reputation.”
Qin Chuan smiled. “Oh! So what do you think, Senior Brother?”
“L get it. You want to establish your dominance, but you have to see if you have the capabilities to do so.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from Bai Zai’s body. A pillar of air shot into the sky, instantly creating a hole in the sky where the sword energies were.
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, and Dan Yangzi’s voice sounded by his ears.
“Old Qin, this fool wants to use you to establish his reputation.”
Qin Chuan laughed. “Duh! There are always people who feel very good about themselves!”
