Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”You’re wrong. Recruiting disciples is a major event of the Eight Immortals Mountain, and I have been entrusted by the Sect with the mission of recruiting disciples this time. You already disrupted the first assessment, and I can no longer ignore it.

But this time, you must not continue your madness, or I will not let you get away with it!”

Lin Ruoxian looked at Mo Fei Yu, showing no signs of fear.

It seems that these two are of similar status in the Eight Immortals Mountain.

”Haha, hahahaha.”

Mo Fei Yu suddenly burst into laughter, ”Lin Ruoxian, this time I will give you face, but can you protect him for a moment, or protect him for a lifetime?”

After saying that, he flew away, disappearing into the vast void in an instant.

It seems that although Ling Xiao got a temporary relief due to Lin Ruoxian’s intervention today, Mo Fei Yu would not let him go.

But does Ling Xiao fear him?

Ling Xiao quickly revealed his true self, clasping his hands thank Lin Ruoxian, ”This is the second time you have saved me, Steward. It’s a great favor beyond words. In the future, if you need my help and if it’s within my power, I’ll certainly do my best.”

”I help you because I see your potential. If you really want to repay me, then show your potential.”

Lin Ruoxian looked at Ling Xiao indifferently, her gaze so cold that there was no trace of intimacy.

Perhaps she is like this to everyone, only valuing talent and not discussing emotions.

”Shen Chong, do you know your crime?”

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxian looked at Shen Chong with a cold gaze and asked coldly.

”I do not know, Steward,”

Shen Chong hurriedly knelt on one knee but shook his head.

”Don’t know? Well, once you enter the Ghost Prison, you’ll understand.”

Lin Ruoxian said coldly.

Hearing the word ”Ghost Prison,” Shen Chong’s face changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt on both knees, ”I realize my mistake, Steward! I shouldn’t have mixed personal grievances with the Eight Immortals Mountain assessment.”

”Let me tell you, Shen Chong, you best behave while working under me, Lin Ruoxian. I’ll spare you this time, you don’t need to go to the Ghost Prison, but first go and work in the mines of the Red Immortal Mountain for seven days. Understand?”

Lin Ruoxian asked coldly.

”I understand, Steward.”

Cold sweat dripped down Shen Chong’s forehead. Although working in the mines meant staying with those slaves, enduring filth and hunger, even so, it was a thousand times better than going to the Ghost Prison.

The Ghost Prison is the most terrifying place in the Eight Immortals Mountain, reserved only for those who commit grave mistakes.

”Go, and seven days later, I’ll personally inquire about your work performance. If you do well, I can restore your original position. Otherwise, you don’t need to stay in the Eight Immortals Mountain any longer.”

Lin Ruoxian waved her hand, seeming very impatient as she spoke.

As Shen Chong left, he glared viciously at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with hysterical anger.

Obviously, he believed his predicament was all because of Ling Xiao.

He felt no wrongdoing in abusing his power for personal gain.

After Shen Chong left, Lin Ruoxian looked at Lin Mao and said, ”You will not receive your monthly Spirit Stones for daring to make deals with Shen Chong, hmph!”

”I realize my mistake, Lin Mao.”

”Fine, take them where they should go.”

Lin Ruoxian waved her hand indifferently and then left.

”Ling Xiao, stay at your residence tonight. I’ll come find you!”

As Ling Xiao was about to leave with Lin Mao, a voice suddenly entered his mind.

It was Lin Ruoxian’s.

”She wants to see me? Why?”

Ling Xiao didn’t think he was so charming to suddenly make a female steward interested in him.

Now that he thought about it, only two possibilities existed.

One is that this woman has seen through his past identity, which is most dangerous;

The other is quite simple, that his courage and talent have impressed her, and she wants to train him well.

The latter seems more likely. In a Sect, forming alliances is all too normal.

Every mid and high-level person hopes to recruit new disciples into their fold, especially those who are talented and capable.

If it’s this possibility, Ling Xiao certainly wouldn’t refuse.

He has offended Mo Fei Yu, a madman whom he is unlikely to rival anytime soon.

There’s only one solution then, to ally with Lin Ruoxian.

This way, he can avoid being killed by that mad Mo Fei Yu.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Mao had started to speak, ”Alright, don’t dwell on unnecessary thoughts.

You ten will now become official disciples of the Eight Immortals Mountain—well, to be precise, just servant disciples.

Servant disciples are not registered in the Sect’s records. After some time of cultivation, the eight Mountain Masters of the Lower Baxian will come to select disciples.

At that time, you can make a mutual choice.

So during this period, you can focus on cultivation and get to know the Eight Immortals Mountain Range better.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black!

Enough, let’s not linger on idle talk. I will now take you to the Eight Immortals Mountain Range.”

With that, Lin Mao took out an Array Refining Stone from his Storage Ring, used it casually, and a Teleportation Array appeared before everyone.

”Enter.”

Everyone nodded, feeling a bit excited. After experiencing a life-and-death assessment, they could finally become disciples of the Eight Immortals Mountain, even if just servant disciples, the lowest level among the disciples of Eight Immortals Mountain.

But this was still quite good.

”Ling Xiao, hold on a moment.”

Lin Mao called upon Ling Xiao, waiting until everyone else had stepped into the Teleportation Array before speaking, ”I don’t wish for previous events to become a barrier in our communication. You’re a smart person; you probably don’t want another enemy either, right?”

”Senior Brother Lin is joking. Even with Shen Chong and Shen Shi, I never sought enmity with them. It’s just that Shen Shi wanted to kill me, so I had to resist.

You haven’t done anything against me; you even protected me from Mo Fei Yu’s slap. I can distinguish right from wrong.”

Ling Xiao knew well that having an additional friend was much better than an additional enemy.

He never intended to offend everyone.

In fact, if he could avoid offending anyone, he really didn’t want to.

”With your words, I feel reassured. Lord Lin Yuan previously instructed me to pay special attention to you, though I didn’t take it seriously at the time. But after today’s events,

I find you to be truly a talent worth cultivating.”

Lin Mao smiled, seeming much more at ease.

Ling Xiao also smiled silently; Lin Yuan was an important piece he left in the Eight Immortals County City.

It did come in handy.

”Thank you for your praise, Senior Brother Lin. Can we proceed?”

”Yes, enter.”

Lin Mao nodded, stepping into the Teleportation Array with Ling Xiao.

The moment vision returned, Ling Xiao almost thought he had arrived in an Immortal Realm.

Though the disciples of the Eight Immortals Mountain were not exceptionally powerful, compared to some Sects Ling Xiao had encountered, they were not particularly formidable. Yet, this place was truly splendid.
