Chapter 1112: Holy Maiden Bai Hang's Sincerity
Elder Xinran Zhanglao sensed the surprise in Bai Hang's brows, saw through it without exposing it, and gave a faint smile.
She understood Bai Hang's thoughts; this woman's strength has recovered, all injuries fully healed, cultivation remains the same, no change, and wanting Advancement is not that easy.
Compared with the two of them, there is indeed a gap; Elder Xinran Zhanglao's cultivation rises steadily, cannot match Qinglong Daoren, and each time she sees Qinglong Daoren make a breakthrough she is shocked, but over time she gets used to it and no longer startled.
Holy Maiden Bai Hang's reaction is exactly the same as hers back then; seeing this Holy Maiden Bai Hang is like seeing herself.
Qinglong Daoren lowered his eyes: "I wonder what noble purpose Holy Maiden Bai Hang has in coming this time? Could it be to deliver resources?"
The Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men surely has many good things; the last time a raid was made, Qinglong Daoren gained a lot; this time, naturally, she cannot be let off.
Holy Maiden Bai Hang heard this, her mouth twitched a few times, recalling the scene of being scammed last time, she couldn't help to complain inwardly.
"Daoist friend, you're right. This time, I represent Tian Du Men to invite you to join our Tian Du Men. As long as you nod, Tian Du Men is willing to confer upon you the rank of Elder; various benefits will naturally not be lacking for you. What do you think?"
The Elder of a Faction naturally receives no inferior treatment, nor scarce resources.
This is Tian Du Men's sincerity, also Holy Maiden Bai Hang's condition; she persuaded the master and the members of the Faction.
The benefits are indeed high; an Elder of Tian Du Men is not a position anyone can hold—strength, cultivation, and dedication are all indispensable.
Within Tian Du Men, Elders are few, all are those who have contributed to the Faction; each of those Elders is… strong, both in seniority and power, also dignified, and their dedication to the Faction is not weak.
Qinglong Daoren entered Tian Du Men and was directly promoted to Elder—a leap to the heavens—clearly highly valued.
"Elder, huh? You hold me in such high regard?"
Qinglong Daoren naturally knows what an Elder represents; the status is not low, the authority is considerable. Even an honorary Elder need not handle anything yet can obtain abundant resources; if one wants any spirit‑medicine materials, just ask directly.
The Faction will not lack him, and he can also exchange.
Having such a large Faction as a backing ensures his safety; if it were a single person, he would naturally agree. Finding a Faction as a backing, any matter can be handled by the Faction; as long as the Faction does not perish, he can stay hidden, gradually improving his cultivation.
From any perspective, it is beneficial to him.
Elder Xinran Zhanglao was also moved, smiling: "Since Qinglong Daoren can become an Elder, what about me?"
Holy Maiden Bai Hang blinked; besides blinking, it was still blinking.
There was no further text.
Elder Xinran Zhanglao was very awkward, pretended to be angry: "Qinglong Daoren, let her go. Disrespecting this Elder is disrespecting you; they won't even grant me an Elder seat, showing no sincerity at all."
Lord Qinglong chuckled: "Could it be that you are too weak, unworthy of them offering an Elder seat?"
Elder Xinran Zhanglao was deeply hurt, betrayed by his own people.
"Daoist friend Qinglong, you have no friends like this," Elder Xinran Zhanglao said, hands on hips: "Where is this Elder lacking? I won't speak of other things; even if you gave this Elder a few dozen more years, the True Sovereign might still not be my opponent."
Her Heart‑Sword Dao surged forward, her temperament stabilized; after all restrictions were lifted, she was no longer shackled.
The True Destiny Realm is merely a minor issue; the True Sovereign Realm, Elder Xinran Zhanglao also feels poses no problem at all.
It is impossible to be stuck at any stage; before the Dao Realm, she will encounter no problems.
A mere Elder of a Faction, she can still become one.
Whether in strength, experience, or any other aspect, she is not lacking.
She may not match Qinglong Daoren, nor be inferior to other Elders of Tian Du Men; Bai Hang's attitude clearly looks down on her.
A warrior may be killed, but cannot be tolerated.
"Elder Xinran, if you are willing, I can report to the senior members of the Faction, allowing you and Daoist friend Qinglong to serve as Elders of my Tian Du Men, with benefits identical."
"As long as it belongs to Tian Du Men, both of you can have it."
Holy Maiden Bai Hang has given much for the two of them.
Qinglong Daoren and Elder Xinran Zhanglao exchanged a glance, their gazes communicating for a moment.
Elder Xinran waved a hand: "Forget it, I don't like being bound. Staying here is fine, free and easy, no need to manage many affairs or scheme, a life of deceit doesn't suit me."
"The Elder seat of Tian Du Men, better to give up."
Qinglong Daoren added: "I think the same; this place is good. Look at my spot, it's no worse than any other. Even if Tian Du Men is great, it can't surpass my place."
Holy Maiden Bai Hang grew anxious and said immediately: "Both of you, our Tian Du Men is truly sincere; whatever requests you have, we can fulfill them."
"Compared with other forces, our Tian Du Men's conditions are the best, and our Elders differ from those of other Factions; if a Daoist friend doesn't wish to handle affairs, they need do nothing, only intervene when the Faction is in peril. At other times, the Faction will not interfere with the two of you."
"Both of you can really consider it."
Qinglong Daoren shrugged: "Holy Maiden Bai Hang, the two of us are lazy, not suited for those big Factions."
"We have received your goodwill."
Elder Xinran smiled: "Indeed, Holy Maiden Bai Hang, we understand your intentions. The two of us truly do not wish to leave here; if in the future we are forced to depart, please do not despise us."
They both know deep down that going to Tian Du Men could expose them.
After all, the fact that they come from that world must not be exposed.
The two only wish to cultivate peacefully, break through calmly, and when their strength is sufficient, then choose to go out.
Not… to go out now; if discovered, it would be troublesome.
Safety first.
Moreover, Qinglong Daoren has another idea: the teleportation Formation has already been comprehended, only lacking material setup. As long as materials are sufficient, he can swiftly arrange the teleportation Formation; then he can send his body to Longshe Shan to harvest a batch of spirit medicines for Pill Refining.
To ensure the establishment of the teleportation Formation, Qinglong Daoren must gather more materials; the required items are many, many of which are absent in the Mangshan Mountain Range, needing someone to assist him.
Holy Maiden Bai Hang… is a suitable candidate; she can cooperate or trade.
Holy Maiden Bai Hang repeatedly tried to persuade Qinglong Daoren, but still failed to convince him.
The Elder matter is temporarily halted.
"Both of you, do you truly not reconsider?"
Holy Maiden Bai Hang remains unyielding, still insisting.
