“Are you alright?” Shen Ying asked. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you would come out from there.”

“Sorry.” Yi Qing also immediately cupped his fists. “The chair was placed there by me.” Definitely cannot allow Master to be the scapegoat!

“It was just a careless mistake. It’s alright.” The woman named Yu Hong laughed at them. She then went ahead and began to lead those seven or eight people away. But just as she was about to turn around, she paused in her steps as if something had caught her eye and then suddenly walked back with quick steps. She glanced at the three of them and asked, “Immortal Masters, are you recruiting disciples?”

Lonemoon nodded. “Yes, our Invincible Sect has just been established and we are indeed recruiting disciples.”

“What do the three of you think of us?” She pointed at the group of girls behind her who were wrapped up in plain and rustic outfits.

“You guys want to join my sect?!” Lonemoon was delighted. Finally, someone with good discernment.

“Yes, we are willing to join…” She looked up at the flag before continuing, “the Invincible Sect!”

“Great!” Lonemoon laughed joyfully. “Join us and you won’t regret it. However…” He took a serious look at the group of girls. “I can see that a few of you were originally cultivators while three of you have already completed Core Formation. Are you guys really not from a sect?”

The lady named Yu Hong faltered for a moment and a tinge of panic flashed across her face before it immediately returned to normal. She smiled and said, “Immortal Master. We are all from the same village and in the village, everyone learned cultivation from young which is why it is normal for us to have cultivation. We really did not come from any sect. If you do not believe it, you may check our Divine Perception to see if there are transmission marks of other sects.”

Cultivators would leave a life token in the sect they joined and the transmission mark of that sect would be imprinted in their Divine Perception. Unless one’s cultivation was higher than the person who designated the life token, the transmission marks could not be removed. The people in charge of allocating life tokens were at least of Nascent Soul cultivation. Lonemoon glanced over with his Divine Perception and realized this group of people really did not have any transmission marks.

“You’re sure that you want to join my Invincible Sect?” Something just felt off to him.

“Yes!” Yu Hong nodded. She looked back at her group and they all nodded in agreement as well.

“In that case, let’s test their Spirit Roots.” Lonemoon took out the Dharma artifact for testing Spirit Roots and got them to come forward one by one. The result was shocking, however; the even the lowest quality Spirit Root possessed amongst these people was a third-grade Wood, Water and Gold – Triple Spirit Root. With such qualifications, they were qualified to join even the aristocratic families. Why would they join a newly established sect? Were they blind?

“Immortal Master, can we join?”

“Your Spirit Roots aren’t bad…” Lonemoon nodded.

Yu Hong was delighted. “Then, can Immortal Master bring us back to the sect now?” But sensing suspicion from the other party, she immediately explained again, “We have spent half a month traveling to Upper Azure Town. The journey has been long and tiring, so we would like to return to the sect to rest.”

“Sister Hong…” But before Lonemoon could reply, the girl beside her suddenly pulled at Yu Hong and called her name in a low voice as if wanting to say something. She did not speak further in the end, however, and her head hung even lower.

“Immortal Master, will that be convenient?” Yu Hong asked hurriedly again.

“How about I bring them back! Aren’t I the sect master?” Shen Ying raised her hand in suggestion. “I’m sleepy anyway.”

“Master!” Yi Qing was shocked. He was about to say something, but did not do so in the end.

“Cheh!” Lonemoon responded to her suggestion with a look of disdain. “Then can this sect master find her way back?”

“Uh…” She had no rebuttal for that.

Yi Qing furrowed his brows, looked at Shen Ying and reminded, “Let the radish lead the way!”

Lonemoon frowned, looked at the two of them in surprise and hesitated for a moment before taking the radish off his leg.

“Radish, transform and take Shen Ying back!”

“Ji!” The radish’s leaves were raised up. Its silhouette flashed and it transformed to take the appearance of a beautiful, gender-neutral looking individual, and then attempted to latch onto Shen Ying’s leg. “I know Little Missy must still like my absolute beauty.”

“Get lost!” Shen Ying stomped its face onto the ground and then turned to look at Lonemoon, saying, “Can you lend me your fan transport? There’s too many people!”

“That’s my intrinsic Dharma artifact. People don’t just lend those out easily.” Lonemoon glared at her, then took out a leaf-shaped Dharma artifact and threw it into the air. The Dharma artifact immediately became dozens of times larger upon being thrown. “Get on. Use this instead.”

Shen Ying plucked the radish up from the ground and brought the newly accepted batch of female disciples up their transportation and disappeared into the horizon in a flash.

“Hey.” Lonemoon sounded displeased as he looked over at Yi Qing at the side. “You knew that there was something off with this bunch of people, so why did you agree with Shen Ying to bring them back?”

“Don’t worry. Master has her own plans.” Yi Qing looked in the direction which Shen Ying’s group had flown towards and continued, “Moreover… nothing will happen to Master.”

“…” This made so much sense that Lonemoon was speechless.

Indeed. No matter what happens, that cheat won’t be harmed.

The radish was controlling the Dharma artifact the whole way back. Lonemoon had left some transportation arrays on their way to Upper Azure Town, hence the return journey took less than an hour and they arrived at the border between the Upper Azure World and the Demon Realm.

“Sister Yu Hong!” One person from the group suddenly let out a gasp and grabbed Yu Hong’s hand. “This… this is the Demon Realm!”

Yu Hong was also wearing a face of shock. Although they knew that the location of a small sect would not be pristine, they had never imagined that the other party would bring them straight to the Demon Realm.

“Don’t worry!” Shen Ying looked back at them and actually kindly explained to them, “All the animals inside are vegetarians. They won’t hurt people.”

As she explained, the Dharma artifact had already flown into the Demon Realm. The moment they entered the Demon Realm, an array formation lit up which encapsulated everyone on the leaf Dharma artifact, isolating them from the demonic aura of the surroundings.

“Watch and wait to see what happens,” Yu Hong calmed down and instructed.

No matter where this so-called Invincible Sect was located at, with the current situation they were in, entering the Demon Realm might be beneficial instead. Moreover, this girl leading them did not seem to have any cultivation. If they were to fight, they did not need fear her. The only thing they needed to be wary of was that man going by the name of Radish who kept trying to stay by that girl’s side with a fawning smile and did not even look at the rest of the people. Having witnessed his transformation, they wondered: could he also be a demon?

Everyone became alert and took note of what was happening around them. However, the scenario that came next made them all go speechless.

A sixth-stage demon went past them, saying…

“Greetings, Great Immortal!”

“Greetings!”

The demon flew away.

A seventh-stage demon went past: “Good afternoon, Great Immortal!”

“Good afternoon!”

The demon flew away…

An eighth-stage demon came by: “Great… Great… Immortal.”

“Hey, hello!”

The demon froze…

A ninth-stage demon went past: “Great… Great Immortal, have you eaten?”

“Not yet!”

With a bang, the demon fell down…

The crowd: “…”

What was this scenario? Were… were those really demons? Why did the demons not attack them and why was it that the higher their level, the more… courteous they became?

What happened to humans and demons never coexisting?

Could this girl be special in some way?

Everyone could not help but look at this girl, but no matter how they scrutinized her, she did not show any signs of Spirit Qi and was obviously a mortal. Were their cultivation levels too low to notice anything? It was just like the two people from before whose cultivation levels even Sister Yu Hong could not detect.

Could it be… they had met an amazing, hidden immortal sect? Everyone grew excited and even Yu Hong’s eyes brightened up as she began to see these two from the Invincible Sect in a new light.

“Immortal… Immortal Master!” Finally, someone could not hold back, asking “I heard… heard from the two immortal elders from before that you… you are the sect master of Invincible Sect?!”

“Yes!” Shen Ying nodded lazily in affirmation.

“Our cultivation levels are low and we can’t seem to see how high your levels are. May we enquire as to the levels of your cultivations?”

“Oh, they are Soul Formation sword cultivators.”

“Soul Formation! Sword cultivators!” And there were two of them at that! Everyone gasped as their eyes lit up.

“Then… how about you, Senior?”

“Me?” Shen Ying paused and answered honestly, “I have no cultivation.”

“Ah! Ah?” The asker was taken aback and thought that she had heard wrongly. “You… you are the sect master, right?”

“Yes!” She yawned, then said, “Isn’t that because… I lost in the finger-guessing game before?”

The crowd: “…”

What the hell?
