"Li has a point. Now that I think about it, Yilan always has one or two close friends every once in a while. And then, these close friends always mysteriously disappear."
"Yes. Most of her friends... haven't been seen since, have they?"
"This woman is terrifying."
"Ultimately, it's the Eclipse Moon Sect that deserves to die for using such sinister tricks."
In Myriad Law City, even though Ancestor Xuanwei was a Tribulation Transcending stage ancestor, her deterrent power was very limited. People whispered, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes as they looked at the two from the Eclipse Moon Sect.
Ancestor Xuanwei's face immediately turned ugly. She forced a smile: "Li, I don't care what happened between you and me in the Gluttony Hell. But that has nothing to do with my appreciation for you. If you become my disciple, I can promise to teach you the Eclipse Moon Sect's secret ultimate technique! Right now, besides this obviously outdated fourth-grade treasured sword, do you have any other magical artifacts? As long as you agree, I will immediately give you three seventh-grade magical artifacts, plus numerous elixirs and talismans. Whatever you want, I will give you! How about it?"
Ancestor Xuanwei was still making a last-ditch effort to trick Li Shuang into her grasp.
In her opinion.
Li Shuang was just a rookie who had just entered Myriad Law City. She might not know what a supreme spiritual root represented, or what it meant to clear the sixth mountain at her age.
In this situation, with so many benefits offered, she might not be unmoved.
Ultimately.
As long as the benefits were sufficient, even the greatest enmity could be resolved.
"No need," Li Shuang smiled. "Senior, I killed your clone, and you not only bear no grudge but also favor me. I am very grateful. But unfortunately, I hold grudges. I cannot associate with someone who acts without any bottom line. I have things to do, so please, senior, move aside."
She was very busy!
The Soul Golden Altar was about to open, and she still had two secret realms to challenge.
She also needed to redeem points.
She had no time to waste with Ancestor Xuanwei here.
"Li!" Ancestor Xuanwei immediately flew into a rage. "Don't be overly arrogant! I've given you enough face, don't be ungrateful!"
The man next to her had also been stunned by this development and was momentarily frozen.
But when he saw Ancestor Xuanwei getting angry, he immediately started shouting, "Exactly. You killed a disciple of my Eclipse Moon Sect, and the Ancestor is still willing to take you as a disciple. You should be flattered! Otherwise, if you offend my Eclipse Moon Sect, you'll..."
His words had not yet fallen.
Suddenly.
His mouth hung open, unable to utter another sound.
A hint of panic flashed in the man's eyes.
"What will happen?" A slightly mocking voice rang out.
A woman strolled over, and everyone instinctively made way for her.
"Eclipse Moon Sect, Xuanwei?" A sneer appeared on the woman's face. "I didn't know when your Eclipse Moon Sect became so formidable."
Ancestor Xuanwei's face immediately turned even uglier.
This woman... why was she here!
"Heavens! It's Ancestor Nishang. A Tribulation Transcending stage expert from the high-grade sect, Cloud Clear Sect! Cloud Clear Sect and Eclipse Moon Sect belong to the righteous and demonic paths respectively, and their overall strength is comparable. But the key is... Ancestor Xuanwei's personal strength is far inferior to Ancestor Nishang's. Ten years ago, she was beaten by Ancestor Nishang and went into seclusion." A disciple discussed.
Xuanwei glared fiercely.
Nishang smiled slightly: "This disciple didn't say anything wrong. Weren't you beaten to a pulp by me?"
Xuanwei gritted her teeth: "What exactly do you want?"
Nishang glanced at her disdainfully, then turned to Li Shuang with a smile: "You're Li, right? I see your talent is astonishing. My Cloud Clear Sect is a righteous path, and our conduct is vastly different from that of the Eclipse Moon Sect. If you are willing, I am willing to personally take you as my disciple and help you embark on the supreme path. What do you think?"
Xuanwei's face immediately became even more grim.
Her ominous premonition had come true.
Originally.
The people paying attention here were just some low-level disciples watching the show.
However.
Given the guards' nature, as soon as Li cleared the sixth mountain, he would surely spread the news everywhere immediately.
Not just Nishang, more and more people would come.
Ancestor Xuanwei also became anxious. She stared intently at Li Shuang: "As long as you become my disciple, I can directly give you ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
Nishang glanced at her sideways: "Vulgar! My Cloud Clear Sect has its own spirit mine. If Li becomes my disciple, there will naturally be no shortage of spirit stones."
Xuanwei was almost frantic: "I can help her cultivate supreme secret techniques."
Nishang was about to mock, but Xuanwei immediately added: "I am willing to extract a portion of the power of my natal magical artifact and bestow it upon your natal sword!"
Nishang paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Xuanwei's Black Scale Spear was very special; its power could be extracted and attached to other items.
However, when attached to other items, its own power would decrease.
Xuanwei had always been selfish. Would she damage her own interests to take a disciple?
There was something fishy, definitely something fishy.
Nishang sneered and quickly said, "Do I not have methods to increase the power of magical artifacts? Within my Cloud Clear Sect, there is a ninth-grade artifact refiner! With me here, inviting a ninth-grade artifact refiner to reforge Li's natal magical artifact is no problem at all!"
Ancestor Xuanwei was about to say something more.
Li Shuang, listening to the two argue, quickly said, "Senior Nishang."
Nishang immediately smiled broadly: "Speak."
Li Shuang honestly said, "I'm sorry, I already have a sect."
Nishang was not in a hurry at all. She said directly, "What sect? Above my Cloud Clear Sect, there are probably only the five super sects. If it's one of those five super sects, I won't even try to contend. But if not... Li, your talent shouldn't be buried in those small sects and factions. If your sect won't let you go, just say the word, and I'll go resolve it for you."
Li Shuang shook her head: "No, it's that I myself don't want to leave."
Her feelings for the Sword Sect were one aspect.
On the other hand.
The current her couldn't even cross the Endless Sea to reach the Central Continent.
At that time.
The fact that she was a cultivator from another region would probably be impossible to hide.
No matter how you looked at it.
Li Shuang could not possibly join any other sect.
Nishang was about to try and persuade her again.
Suddenly.
A hearty voice rang out.
"If you don't want to join the Cloud Clear Sect, then what about my Sunset Cloud Sect!" A middle-aged man descended from the clouds with a smile.
A Tribulation Transcending expert!
Another Tribulation Transcending expert!
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The Eclipse Moon Sect and the Cloud Clear Sect were only high-grade sects.
But the Sunset Cloud Sect...
That was one of the five super sects!
Even Nishang couldn't help but show a look of regret.
She had actually wanted to see if she could pick up a bargain before the super sect experts arrived.
Now that a super sect had sent someone, she certainly had no hope.
Nishang voluntarily stepped aside.
"Alright, come with me. The Sunset Cloud Sect welcomes you." The middle-aged man looked at Li Shuang with a beaming smile.
Li Shuang felt a little numb.
How to put it...
It seemed she had to continue refusing.
