Chapter 1316 - Chapter 1316 Chapter 1180 The Shadow of the World Dark Sect

Chapter 1316: Chapter 1180: The Shadow of the World, Dark Sect Chapter 1316: Chapter 1180: The Shadow of the World, Dark Sect With Xu Daofeng leading the way, there was no need to wait in the lobby like the others.

The Divine Sect Mansion seemed to have only about four or five Divine Sect Members, including one middle-aged man who was an official member, while the others, like Xu Daofeng, were all Divine Sect Apprentices.

The one responsible for recruitment was that middle-aged man, whom Xu Daofeng referred to as Tang officer. Tang was his surname, and officer was a title of position within the Divine Sect, with members being divided into Lower Officers, Middle Officers, Upper Officers, and Chief Officers.

Xu Daofeng was a direct disciple of a Chief Officer, and though he was still an apprentice, his status was actually higher than some Lower Officers and even Middle Officers.

“Is that Teacher Lu of yours really strong?” Mu Qingyi asked after understanding the general mechanism.

“How should I put it, it’s been so long, and I’ve never seen her make a move, but an Upper Officer’s POSITION is higher than that of a Boundary Commander, and as for a Chief Officer… it’s very likely on the level with a Boundary Master. I guess in the past, no one in the Cloud Realm would’ve been her match,” Xu Daofeng whispered.

Chief Officer Lu didn’t like Xu Daofeng casually discussing her affairs, and she was unusually low-profile, but Xu Daofeng, after all, was a young person who easily bragged about things he was proud of.

“That formidable?” Chu Mu was also surprised.

The strength of a Boundary Commander was already beyond Chu Mu’s, let alone a Boundary Master. If Chief Officer Lu was on par with a Boundary Master, then her strength was no ordinary frightful thing. To such a person, the Cloud Realm must look like a small place, right?

“Yeah, she came to the Cloud Realm to investigate matters related to the Dark Sect. Yesterday, she posted a wanted criminal; it must be a member of the Dark Sect, I guess,” Xu Daofeng liked to talk, which Chu Mu had noticed.

To Chu Mu’s surprise, without being prompted, this guy had already brought up matters concerning Chu Tianmang; now Chu Mu was becoming fonder of this kid, Xu Daofeng.

However, the emergence of another Dark Sect puzzled Chu Mu.

When it came to the Dark Sect, Xu Daofeng’s teeth clenched, and his eyes betrayed a hint of anger.

“I can’t just casually reveal that,” Xu Daofeng calmed down but did not continue.

While talking, they had arrived at Chief Officer Lu’s area. She was currently sitting in a pavilion on the Stone Bridge, looking like a cold statue, gazing at some place.

“Teacher Lu.” Xu Daofeng respectfully made a bow, waiting for her to signal him to speak before he dared to talk.

Chief Officer Lu was just as Chu Mu had seen her last time, in her plain elegant dress, with a face so clean it had no makeup at all, her black hair reaching her shoulders, and her indifferent eyes that discouraged anyone from approaching.

“Who are they?” Lu Yuqin looked over at Mu Qingyi and Chu Mu indifferently and asked.

Xu Daofeng stepped forward and briefly outlined Chu Mu’s plan to establish independent territory and recommended Mu Qingyi to join the Divine Sect.

“Independent Territory?” Lu Yuqin quickly furrowed her brows, automatically ignoring the matter of Mu Qingyi joining the Divine Sect.

Independent Territory was a significant issue anywhere, no matter the level of the land, because it related to the authority of rulers at every level.

Lu Yuqin had spent a long time in the Divine Sect, and she was well aware that independent territory often was the cause of disputes between two great empires or even the World Dynasty, which then could lead to war over a piece of land.

So, the mention of independent territory made Lu Yuqin instinctively consider Chu Mu as someone from a major background faction seeking to instigate conflict.

Lu Yuqin detested war, and there had been attempts to apply for land independence to trigger a war in the past, but she had directly rejected them.

Now someone was attempting the same trick, increasing Lu Yuqin’s displeasure. She said coldly and indifferently, “You can leave. I will not agree to an application for independent territory.”

“Why?” Chu Mu was a bit puzzled. Supposedly, such a posture was just to notify the Divine Sect; whether the territory was independent or not was still under the sovereignty of the territory owner and the King.

Lu Yuqin didn’t explain, just waved her hand, signalling Xu Daofeng to take the two away.

Xu Daofeng didn’t dare to disobey her and first ushered Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi away.

“Teacher probably thought you were scouts from some power. No worries, I’ll explain the situation about New Moon Land to her in detail later,” Xu Daofeng said somewhat awkwardly.

“Yeah, no problem. We aren’t planning on becoming independent right now, just wanted to mention it,” Chu Mu said nonchalantly about Lu Yuqin’s attitude because the independence of the territory didn’t require the consent of the Divine Sect, and he just didn’t want to break the rules without understanding the external situation.

After sending Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi away, Xu Daofeng returned to Lu Yuqin’s side.

“Teacher, they come from New Moon Land. You asked me to deal with territory disputes, and I found out some matters about New Moon Land, which you can review to get an understanding of the situation there,” Xu Daofeng said to Lu Yuqin with a very humble attitude.

Lu Yuqin, as Xu Daofeng’s teacher and her potential successor, though annoyed by his further talk of territory independence, still patiently went over the situation of New Moon Land.

Lu Yuqin hardly came to the Cloud Realm and naturally hadn’t heard of New Moon Land. After inspecting the map and some briefs, she realized that New Moon Land had no connection whatsoever with so-called great empires or the World Dynasty, and it couldn’t possibly incite a major war.

“Even so, his action is still very risky. If he fails, he might draw the entire New Moon Land into terrible hardship. Moreover, do you think he can succeed?” Lu Yuqin spoke.

“I’ve been trying to persuade him, but he seems to have made up his mind,” Xu Daofeng said.

“Territory independence isn’t as simple as he imagines. He is still so young and prone to rash acts, but his rashness could cost dearly. The most important thing is that he is unlikely to succeed. Some things are irreversible once failed. You should go and dissuade him,” Lu Yuqin advised.

“But, the lineage of Li Xu has already planned to send troops into New Moon Land…” Xu Daofeng mentioned.

“They are the nominal authorities; this doesn’t break any regulations,” Lu Yuqin stated.

Xu Daofeng wanted to say something else, but Lu Yuqin had already turned around.

“Don’t let personal relationships affect official business. That woman named Mu Qingyi should come on the day of her assessment. My impression of her isn’t bad.”

Xu Daofeng’s mind echoed with the teacher’s last sentence, yet he could only smile bitterly.

This matter really was somewhat difficult to handle. Li Xu had already started preparing, and here Chu Mu insisted on having independent territory…

…

“Qingyi is joining the Divine Sect!”

“Ah, are you going to abandon us and lead a life of luxury?”

After returning to the courtyard, everyone also began discussing the matter of Mu Qingyi joining the Divine Sect.

“It’s all because of Chu Mu…” Mu Qingyi glared at Chu Mu. This guy had taken the liberty of selling her to the Divine Sect, and Mu Qingyi herself still had no idea what was going on.

Chu Mu laughed awkwardly and said, “I just really think you are suitable, and you could also maintain world peace… ”

Mu Qingyi rolled her eyes directly. Maintain world peace? Has Chu Mu gone crazy?

“Yeah, yeah, I think so too!” The Morning Crown Prince actively echoed Chu Mu.

Soon, Mu Qingyi discovered that the other few also tacitly nodded their heads, which made her even more at a loss for words. Do they really see her as a person who carries the flag high for the sake of defending peace?

That’s not the case, Mu Qingyi always felt there was a bit of a violent streak in her bones.

“Goddess Mu, just give it a try. Didn’t you see the glowing expression on Xu Daofeng’s face when he said he was from the Divine Sect, and those envious and jealous looks from the people around? Afterward, you’ll also be a member of the Divine Sect. Maybe more men will fall at your feet,” Ye Wansheng said.

The Morning Crown Prince nodded in deep agreement.

In the Outer World, they had no backing. If Mu Qingyi became a member of the Divine Sect, it would also be quite prestigious to tell others, since the people of the Cloud Realm had never heard of the title of the Crown Prince of the Three Great Palaces.

“Chu Mu, didn’t you say there’s also something called the Dark Sect? Just perfect, join the Dark Sect. Isn’t your father also a member of the Dark Sect…” Ye Wansheng said.

What the Dark Sect actually was, Chu Mu still hadn’t figured out to this day. It seemed likely that it was in opposition to the Divine Sect.

“Sure, Chu Mu, once you have joined the shadows, I will capture you and your father and bring you both to the Divine Sect,” Mu Qingyi said with a laugh.

“You might get eliminated,” Chu Mu said.

The Divine Sect’s selection was very strict, and the assessment seemed to be no simple matter either.

“I’ve never lost at such things,” Mu Qingyi said quite confidently.

In fact, from the moment she stepped onto the path of the Soul Pet Master, she had indeed never lost, always leading far ahead.

And even upon reaching the Cloud Realm, Mu Qingyi didn’t think she would lose to anyone else!

…

…

Forty-sixth City, Wangshan Peak

A simply dressed man stood at the edge of the mountain peak, overlooking the entirety of Cloud City among the Forty-six Cities.

“Rudderman, I have found the path,” a Soul Pet Master half-knelt behind him, said.

“Able to infiltrate, right?” the man asked slowly.

“Yes.”

“Good, then let those who are assessing have a one-way journey,” the man said with a cold smile.

The half-kneeling person behind trembled slightly, never expecting that the Rudderman intended to eliminate all those participating in the Divine Sect’s assessments.

“Li ZuoTeng, are you now regretting your stupid idea of wanting to join the Divine Sect before?” the Rudderman laughed proudly.

“Yes, yes, I, Li ZuoTeng, swear to serve the Dark Sect until death!” Li ZuoTeng said, shivering.

The Dark Sect!

As the number one young Expert of the Cloud Realm, it was only recently that Li ZuoTeng truly became aware that there existed such an extremely terrifying force hidden in this World!!
