Lonemoon had spent a lot of effort to finally pull back those new disciples who were seemingly straying into the wrong path.

“From now on, you are all disciples of my Invincible Sect.” He looked towards the group who were still mostly covered up in their robes and even purposely glanced at the girl who was hanging her head, and then he furrowed his brows and pointed towards Yi Qing who had finally finished cooking. “Although this sect currently only has three people, his and my cultivation will be sufficient to teach all of you. Hopefully, all of you will work hard on your cultivations and head towards the path of immortality soon.”

“Yes!” Everyone answered in unison.

Lonemoon continued with some more encouraging words before switching into a grave tone, saying, “All of you can learn some basic sorcery from me first, but since everyone already has some cultivation, I need to know your specific situations before beginning my teachings. Do share what have you learned before and what kind of cultivation technique you have practiced previously.”

All the girls were shocked and they looked at each other at a loss for words before looking toward Yu Hong who in front.

Yu Hong’s expression changed but returned to normal soon. She stepped forward and said, “Reporting to Immortal Master, we have only roughly learned a bit of the immortal Dharma of drawing aura into our body. I possess a Spirit Root of fire and wood and have only learned the Springbloom Art. As for the rest of the girls…”

“Let them speak for themselves.” Lonemoon interrupted with a serious tone. “They should be clear on what cultivation techniques they have learned and practiced.”

Yu Hong faltered for a moment before looking back at the girls and stepping back. “Yes!”

She signaled them with her eyes and then those girls who had been quiet came forward one by one to report on what cultivation technique they had learned. They spoke very softly to the point that if everyone present had not been cultivators, it would not have been possible to hear clearly.

“I learned and practiced… the Water Negation Art!”

“I have practiced the Light Body Spell.”

“I learned and practiced…”

After they finished reporting their cultivation techniques, they immediately went back to stand behind Yu Hong.

Lonemoon’s expression grew slightly graver and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ve gained an overall understanding of your situations. Since it’s late now, let’s begin practice tomorrow.” As he spoke, his gaze swept to a certain person at the side who was desperately scooping up rice and another who was helping to serve it, both making the occasional clanking noises, and his mouth twitched.

“Hey. Shouldn’t the both of you at the very least say a few words?” Whose sect was this exactly?

“Ah?” Shen Ying faltered for a moment, stunned. “What am I supposed to say?”

“These disciples have just entered the sect. As the sect master, don’t you want to understand your disciples’ overall conditions and test their standards or something like that?”

Shen Ying took a look at everyone and then looked at the begrudging Father Niu. Now that he said it, it did seem like there was a need to do that, but…

“What should I test them on?”

“Up to you.” Lonemoon waved his hand. “It should be enough to just let them just showcase some moves.”

“Okay! Then…” Shen Ying finally put down her cutlery and walked over. Wearing a serious look, she walked past the other disciples and stopped in front of Yu Hong. “Sister, do you… have any Freestyle moves?”

Ah? Ah!

Which university?

Lonemoon: “…”

F*ck you Sister, did you think this is a talent show!? How about you let them just sing a verse, huh?!

“Fu… Fu what Si Da?” Yu Hong was stunned. “Sect Master, please forgive your disciple’s ignorance, but what did that phrase mean?”

“Master is indeed unfathomably profound!” Yi Qing’s eyes lit up as he said, “This must be some high level cultivation technique? Can Master repeat?”

Profound your head! Hey, what are you holding a pen for! This is a freaking joke alright? Yi Qing, can you not forcefully support your Master’s bluff?!

“So that’s what it is!” Yu Hong nodded in understanding. “Sect Master, please demonstrate for us.”

Huh? All of you really freaking believed it! Where’s your intelligence?!

“Uh, actually I was thinking…”

“Enough!” Lonemoon could not stop himself from interrupting. He looked back at Shen Ying coldly and said, “Shut up! Go and eat your rice.”

“…” Weren’t you the one who made me ask?

Lonemoon rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath before suppressing all the curses in his heart. “That’s it for today. You guys can go and take a rest. We will talk about cultivation matters tomorrow.”

Finished, he took out a couple of tokens to remove the restrictions and signaled them to go to their lodgings at the right side of the front hall.

Everyone was a little stunned as they looked at Yu Hong. Seeing her nod, all of them then saluted and took their leave.

So tiring…

“The problem with this group can’t be overlooked.” Yi Qing finally said after all of their figures were out of sight.

“Of course I know that.” Lonemoon rolled his eyes at him. Your intelligence only returns when the matter doesn’t concern Shen Ying. “Just now amongst them, there were already three people who have completed their Core Formation, yet the cultivation techniques they reported are only some low level ones, some of them skills that not even an itinerant cultivator would practice. Who would believe that? Obviously, none of them were speaking the truth.”

He looked in the direction which they had left. “From the look of things, they probably met with some trouble which is why they seized the opportunity to hide here, and that trouble must be pretty huge.”

“Sect traitors? Or escaped slaves?” Yi Qing furrowed his brows. Either possibility did not put them in a good light.

“They must have something with them which conceals their aura and that’s why we can’t see through their identity.” He flipped the flute in his hand. “But they can’t hide it for long. If we’re lucky, perhaps we’ll find out tomorrow.”

Late into the night.

A silhouette of a person appeared at an area beneath a roof and was checking out the surroundings nervously.

“Sister Hong…” The next moment, another eight people appeared at her opposite side who went up to that figure quickly.

“Coming.” Yu Hong looked at the rest of them and took count. “Is everyone here? Have any of you been discovered?”

“Don’t worry, Sister Yu Hong,” one of them replied softly. “We have checked both front and back. No one is tailing us. Apart from the three of them, this Invincible Sect really did not have other people.”

“That’s good!” Yu Hong heaved a sigh of relief, but still looked at them nervously. “We cannot let down our guard too early. Don’t forget this place is within the Demon Realm. You guys also saw those high level demons from before. They are not opponents that we are able to handle.”

Everyone’s expressions became grave. “Sister Yu Hong, can we really… escape to the Lower Realm safely?”

“Yes, yes we can!” Yu Hong held the hand of the girl beside her tightly, not sure if she was encouraging them or herself. “We have escaped even from the Sky Severance Cliff, so what else is there to fear? As long as we can hang on until we reach the Lower Realm, we will get our freedom. With that person’s protection, we can start anew and no one would dare to belittle us again.”

As she spoke, everyone’s eyes lit up as if gaining new hope. “That’s right. I have heard that she was just like us… As a woman, she… she will definitely help us.”

“But…” There were some who were still worried and one of them said hesitantly, “Sister Yu Hong, do we really have to leave? I think… those two Supremacies don’t look like bad people and this is in the Demon Realm. That old crook, Zhen Xiang… even he won’t be able to find his way here. Moreover, those two Supremacies are at the Soul Formation stage and on top of that, they are sword cultivators.”
