The Shenwu Sect was a dream destination for the ordinary disciples of Longyue Manor. They would never give up on the opportunity to become a disciple of the Shenwu Sect, even if they had to give up everything they had in Longyue Manor.

 Longfei immediately flushed red. While he also had a status in Longyue Manor, how was Longyue Manor comparable to the Shenwu Sect?

 He would never have joined Longyue Manor if he could have entered the Shenwu Sect. Even ordinary disciples of the Shenwu Sect had an equal status to this Young Master.

 If that happened, he would have to fawn over the Young Master because the Young Master would be trying to befriend him instead.

Unfortunately, this opportunity was not meant for him!

The Young Master's face darkened. His hopes of taking over the Songyang Sword Sect would be dashed if this young man, who he had never paid much attention to in the past, became a disciple of the Shenwu Sect.

 He wouldn't care about losing a hundred locations like this if the Songyang Sword Sect was just an ordinary place.

 However, the Songyang Sword Sect was no ordinary place. It was a paradise he had researched for years and a place that provided great benefits!

 Now that the Shenwu Sect was involved, he also found himself in a dilemma.

He was unwilling to give up on the Songyang Sword Sect, but he also did not have the ability to go up against the Shenwu Sect.

 Hence, he could only glare at Yu Mo!

As the proud Young Master of Longyue Manor, he had never thought he would get so worked up over a lowly figure he had looked down on.

Amongst the people watching Yu Mo, Luo Yunyang was perhaps the calmest one. The reason he had helped Yu Mo was because he was unwilling to move to another location and also because he had taken a liking to Yu Mo.

It was a good choice for Yu Mo to join the Shenwu Sect, and Luo Yunyang would definitely respect Yu Mo's decision.

“What would happen to the Songyang Sword Sect if I joined the Shenwu Sect?” Yu Mo asked Deacon Li after hesitating for a moment.

“You will become a disciple of the Shenwu Sect after you join the sect!” Deacon Li replied with a gentle smile.

 Although it seemed like Deacon Li had not answered Yu Mo's question directly, the meaning of his words was, in fact, extremely obvious. He meant that Yu Mo would become part of the Shenwu Sect after joining.

Then, he would no longer have anything to do with the Songyang Sword Sect.

“Thank you for thinking highly of me, Deacon Li. However, I still want to stay in the Songyang Sword Sect!” Yu Mo's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was very determined.

 Deacon Li was rather disappointed with Yu Mo's reply, as he'd really wanted to recruit Yu Mo into the Shenwu Sect.

 Although it would be difficult for him to nurture a disciple like Yu Mo, he would still be able to receive considerable rewards if he recruited such a talented person.

In his opinion, Yu Mo was a very suitable candidate for the Shenwu Sect. Unfortunately, he was not willing to join them.

 Deacon Li smiled right away and said, “In that case, this all ends here. However, Yu Mo, you have to remember that the doors to our sect will always be open to you. You can join the Shenwu Sect anytime you want!”

 After he said that, he turned to the Young Master and said, “Young Master, do you think it is necessary to go ahead with the rest of the battles?

 The Young Master smiled in response when he heard the question. Although Deacon Li had not said much, he could understand his intentions.

 “We have lost a battle of this challenge, so according to the rules of the Shenwu Sect, we cannot destroy the Songyang Sword Sect even if we move forward with the rest of the battles.” The Young Master cupped his fists and addressed Deacon Li immediately.

“In that case, there is no need to battle anymore.”

 “My task here is complete then. I shall take my leave first.” Deacon Li smiled.

 Upon saying that, he turned and walked out of the main hall. Meanwhile, the Young Master also made up his mind. “We shall take our leave too.”

Everyone from Longyue Manor left in just half an hour. The last one to leave was Longfei, as he waited until the Young Master and the rest of the disciples were out of sight before telling Yu Mo disgruntledly, “Yu Mo, this is just the beginning!”

 Yu Mo did not care much about what his Senior Brother said so he just ignored him.

 “Ha ha ha… I get to keep the sect! I saved the sect!” After the formation array at the sect gate closed once again, Yu Mo suddenly jumped up in joy and cheered.

He was extremely happy! He'd already wanted to jump up in joy when the people from Longyue Manor had left but he had forced himself to stay calm to maintain the prestige of the Songyang Sword Sect.

 Now, he could not contain his joy anymore.

He danced happily in the hall and, in the end, even ran into Luo Yunyang's quiet room and shouted at Luo Yunyang, “I saved the sect! Ha ha! I saved the sect! From now on, we don't have to worry about Longyue Manor!”

 Luo Yunyang smiled as he watched Yu Mo jumping around in joy. Although he had paid no attention to Longyue Manor, he still felt that the Young Master of Longyue Manor could not be willing to give up so easily.

 Based on what Deacon Li said, there were actually hints that Longyue Manor was going to interfere with what they would like to do.

However, Luo Yunyang did not take it to heart. Even Yuan Monarchs could not bother him anymore, let alone Longyue Manor and the Shenwu Sect.

Yu Mo blabbered in front of Luo Yunyang for half an hour about his thoughts and worries before leaving happily.

Then, Luo Yunyang shut his eyes again and continued to conjure the Samsara Great Obliteration Millstone to grind down the spirit essences inside him.

Within Longyue Manor, the Young Master sat sullenly on his jade seat. In his hand, a map was reflected in a treasured mirror.

 It was a geographical map depicting less than half of the Sacred East Sky Continent. The traces of spirit essences hidden in the land were like dragons looming deep under the ma.s.sive continent.

The Young Master was staring closely at the location where the Songyang Sword Sect actually stood.

 No dragons were pa.s.sing through the location of the Songyang Sword Sect. If there had been, Tashan would not have been able to purchase this land and establish the Songyang Sword Sect.

“Six Dragons Gather, Land of the Soaring Dragon!” Young Master said grimly as he watched the dragon meridians starting to move toward the location of the Songyang Sword Sect.

The reason he appreciated Longfei was because he came from the Songyang Sword Sect. Longfei also had not let him down. He had immediately sold the Songyang Sword Sect out when he'd said he wanted to build another residence.

Everything had gone smoothly. It could even be said that everything was under his control. Even Deacon Li was part of his plan.

He wanted to obtain the Songyang Sword Sect in an honest and fair manner.

Even if he could not keep the Land of the Soaring Dragon once it formed over the spot of the Songyang Sword Sect, he would still be rewarded handsomely because he would voluntarily give up the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

 However, he had never expected that something so important would be ruined by a lowly figure. That lowly figure really deserved to die!

 However, based on what Deacon Li had said before leaving, he knew that he could not kill the lowly figure for now and could only drive him away.

“Greetings, Young Master!” Elder Zheng, who was responsible for protecting the Young Master, came over.

 Upon seeing the elder greet him respectfully, the Young Master replied enthusiastically, “Elder Zhen, I have said many times that you don't have to treat me so formally.”

 “Formalities cannot be disregarded. I will always remember your kindness in my heart.” Elder Zheng was still as respectful as ever.

“Elder Zheng, although the Songyang Sword Sect is insignificant, I don't want anyone finding out too much, neither do I want to disappoint Deacon Li after what he said.” Young Master did not tell Elder Zheng about his main plan.

 He didn't do that because he did not trust his subordinate but because he firmly believed that it was better not to let too many people in on things.

 Elder Zheng nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood!”

 As a subordinate of the Young Master, he knew the Young Master's temperament the best. The Young Master would never take things lying down after a small setback.

“What are you going to do, Elder Zheng?” Although Zheng had never disappointed the Young Master regardless of the task, the Young Master still could not help but ask Elder Zheng. After all, this task was very crucial.

“I'll find some bandits and have them ransack the Songyang Sword Sect before setting it ablaze,” Elder Zheng said as he chuckled.

 This sort of matter was really nothing to Elder Zheng, and his plan would be in the best interest of the Young Master.

 “I definitely feel a.s.sured with Elder Zheng handling things, but I also ask Zheng Lao to make sure that things are done cleanly after the Songyang Sword Sect is ransacked.” The Young Master nodded.

 “By the way, our priority is not to hurt Yu Mo too much because we'll still need to explain to Deacon Li.”

 “Young Master, rest a.s.sured, I will handle this as cleanly as possible!”

The Young Master smiled as he watched Elder Zheng. Then, he manipulated the map with his palm and the dragons on the map began to gather around the location below the Songyang Sword Sect.

 “The Land Of The Soaring Dragon. I must obtain it this time!”

 While the Young Master was talking to himself, Luo Yunyang, who was lying on his bed cultivating, suddenly had a strange premonition.

 Although he wasn't absorbing the spiritual influence around the Songyang Sword Sect, the changes that occurred to the spirit essence could not escape his keen senses either.

The spiritual influence around the Songyang Sword Sect was getting stronger!

 It was getting stronger at a rate that was fast enough for him to notice!
