Chapter 622: Mission Complete (Part 5)

He hadn’t asked Renshu Chang earlier, but now that he heard about it, he couldn’t pretend to ignore it.

Kenny Lin had no such reservations or orders from his master.

And he just wanted others to know just how formidable Amalia was, so he said: "It’s nothing much. My master asked Senior Tian Wuya to take her as a disciple. Senior Tian Wuya agreed, but on the condition that she personally killed a thousand warrior-level Devils and ten leader-level Devils."

Another "nothing much." Every word of that sentence struck Cai Jianjun like a lightning bolt.

Master Lian personally come forward to have Senior Tian Wuya take a disciple.

And Senior Tian Wuya, who had sworn never to take another disciple, agreed to do so.

And the condition for taking a disciple was for a mid-Foundation Building disciple to personally kill ten leader-level Devils, each a major realm higher than them in terms of cultivation.

Each piece of information was shocking enough on its own, but when it was combined together, it was overwhelming.

At this moment, Cai Jianjun finally understood why Renshu Chang had been so worried about them earlier.

One was Master Lian’s disciple, the strongest sword cultivator on the Mystic Void continent.

The other was the future disciple of Senior Tian Wuya, the strongest blade cultivator.

He would have been worried too.

Renshu Chang hadn’t told him about this before.

Cai Jianjun opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

After a moment, he spoke again, "Don’t tell anyone that you were behind the destruction of Sunshadow City. The Devils are known for their vengefulness."

Seeing Kenny Lin frown, he added, "It’s not about fearing them; it’s about avoiding unnecessary trouble. I’m sure Junior Master Uncle doesn’t want a horde of Devils hunting you down the next time you enter the battlefield."

That made sense.

Kenny Lin nodded his head.

If they planned to raid another Devil city in the future, it was best to stay low-key.

Cai Jianjun sighed in relief.

He had been worried that Kenny Lin wouldn’t agree and would insist on taking credit for Sunshadow City’s destruction.

Being overly proud wasn’t a good trait.

"Uncle Master Cai, don’t worry, we won’t say anything," Amalia said.

Hearing her call him "Uncle Master Cai," Cai Jianjun didn’t show any joy this time.

Like Master Lian, Senior Tian Wuya held an exalted position within the Green Lotus Sect and was also a formidable cultivator of the same era.

If Amalia became Senior Tian’s disciple, Cai Jianjun wasn’t sure how to address her.

In any case, it wasn’t his concern.

He’d leave such matters to the sect leader.

On the Upper Nine Peak, Sect Leader Qing, leisurely strolling halfway up the mountain with his hands behind his back, suddenly felt an itch in his nose.

Without even calculating, he knew someone was talking about him behind his back, and it probably wasn’t anything good.

Looking up at the snow-covered peak of the Upper Nine Peak, he flicked a beam of light from his fingertips, which shot into the mountain’s barrier, opening an entrance.

The month was nearly over.

With his tasks completed, it was time to inquire about certain matters.

He didn’t want to be left in the dark while everyone else knew the latest news.

"What brings you here?"

The ethereal figure of Master Lian stood amidst the twilight, like a shadow swaying in the wind.

Sect Leader Qing bowed his head slightly, then offered a wry smile, "Master Uncle, you can predict everything. Surely you know why I’m here. These past few days, I have sent people to investigate thoroughly but found no information about those two. They first appeared in the Great Mojave Desert, but before that, there was nothing."

In truth, for this recruitment competition, the Green Lotus Sect intended to accept only those with well-known backgrounds, especially for inner disciples.

Who could have predicted that Kenny Lin and Amalia would suddenly appear?

They not only passed the assessment with good results but also became inner disciples.

At least they could be observed for a while to ensure there were no issues.

But then, Master Uncle suddenly decided to take on a disciple.

Taking a disciple was one thing, but choosing someone with an unclear background, and then introducing another similarly strange person to Senior Tian Wuya?

During this time, Sect Leader Qing had entertained irreverent thoughts about cutting open Master Uncle’s head to see what he was thinking.

Of course, this remained only a thought.

Voicing it would be easier than cutting open his own head.

For the future of the Green Lotus Sect, he had truly worried himself sick.

If these two mysterious inner disciples had been accepted by Junior Brother Huoyan and the others, he could have tolerated it.

But one of them was now his own martial uncle.

If something went wrong in the future, could he really reprimand his own junior master uncle?

If Master Lian learned that his disciple had been wronged, would he slap the sect leader to death and find someone else to take over?

Especially this newly minted junior master uncle; he didn’t seem like an easy person.

He still remembered vividly how this Junior master uncle came to him to ask for things, so proactive and assertive while calling him "Little Nephew" with every breath.

Unable to find out anything and unable to rest easy, Sect Leader Qing finally decided to personally ask Master Lian for clarity.

"You know that I can predict everything. How do you know I can’t find out their background?" Master Lian said calmly.

Sect Leader Qing was stunned.

That made sense.

Master Lian continued, "Indeed, I haven’t been able to discern their origins, but I can assure you they pose no threat to the Green Lotus Sect and aren’t sent by anyone else. You can rest easy on that."

Sect Leader Qing couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Was Master Lian also taking a deep breath before speaking?

"As for your concern about him giving you a hard time, this Junior master uncle of yours has an unusual destiny and a peculiar personality but isn’t without discretion. At most, he will trouble you a little bit, nothing more," Master Lian said.
