Chapter 521: Return to the Sect

Like the Azure Cloud Sect, become an affiliated sect of the Dao One Sect.

Hearing this, Huang Tian pondered for a long time; this was indeed the only way out for the Imperial Pole Sect at the moment.

Moreover, the Dao One Sect took the initiative to hold this Four Sects Grand Competition; wasn't it meant to show off?

Whoever didn't follow, the outcome could be imagined.

After this time, it was estimated that the pattern of the entire Dongzhou would be completely determined. If the Imperial Pole Sect refused to submit, it wouldn't be as simple as lingering on.

Plus, after the Azure Cloud Sect surrendered to the Dao One Sect, they weren't suppressed without limit. Except for the cultivation resources that needed to be offered according to the agreement, the Dao One Sect didn't do anything to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Moreover, it completely resolved the awkward situation of the Azure Cloud Sect.

This point also moved Huang Tian's heart; at least he didn't have to worry about the Dao One Sect killing the donkey after the millstone was used.

Major sects had different thoughts after receiving the Dao One Sect's invitation, but everyone had a consensus that the future Dongzhou would be dominated by the Dao One Sect alone.

A few more days passed, and Qi Xiong and the others finally set off from the offshore camp, preparing to return to the sect.

As for the East Sea side, it is enough to leave a few Elders and some disciples from the Beast Taming Peak in charge.

Returning to the sect via the teleportation array is not troublesome at all.

When everyone returned to the sect through the teleportation array, Wu Shou had already been waiting there for a long time.

Upon seeing Qi Xiong, he immediately spoke with a face full of resentment.

"Yo, isn't this the Senior Brother? You finally deigned to return to the sect."

"Haha, what is wrong with you, Junior Brother?"

"What is wrong? You tell me what is wrong!"

"Alright, alright, haven't I returned now?"

Wu Shou had been waiting with bated breath, hoping and praying for Qi Xiong's return, thinking that once he was back, he could finally relax a bit and continue being his Great Elder.

But he never expected that while Qi Xiong did return, damn it, nothing had actually changed at all.

It wasn't just Qi Xiong; Shi Song, Chen Ren, and the others were the same.

Just after returning to the cave dwelling, before Wu Shou could even catch his breath, a deacon hurried over.

"Great Elder, this is about the Four Sects Grand Competition. Please take a look."

Hmm???

Hearing this, Wu Shou turned his head with a puzzled look and asked in confusion.

"Isn't the Sect Master back? You should hand these matters to him."

"This..."

Hearing this, the deacon hesitated.

"The Sect Master... the Sect Master is not at the Main Peak."

"Not there?"

He hadn't even been back for two hours and he disappeared again? Wu Shou's expression changed, but before he could speak, another deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived.

"Great Elder, there is a matter here that requires your personal handling."

Hmm???

"Where is the Third Junior Brother?"

"That... the Hall Master is not at the Law Enforcement Hall."

"He's not there either?"

His expression had already turned quite ugly, but it wasn't over yet; the deacon from the Mission Hall also came knocking.

"Great Elder, these are the new missions for this month. Please take a look."

"Chen Ren is not there either?"

"How did the Great Elder know?"

"Damn it..."

A roar erupted directly from Wu Shou's cave dwelling. Why, when you damn people have returned, do you still have to come to me for these things?

Why aren't you lot staying properly at the Main Peak? Where have you all died off to?

Anger is anger, but there was no choice; since the matters were already brought to him, he couldn't just ignore them, or the sect would fall into chaos.

He thought to himself that after handling these matters, he would go and drag Qi Xiong and the others back.

But Wu Shou never expected that at this moment, Qi Xiong and the others had long since gathered at Divine Sword Peak.

It was mealtime, and Divine Sword Peak was filled with the figures of numerous disciples.

There were disciples from Divine Sword Peak, Jade Maiden Peak, Blood Blade Peak, Tyrant Spear Peak, Beast Taming Peak, and Hundred Herbs Peak.

Disciples from every peak gathered together; the scene was incredibly lively.

"Is this kitchen a bit too small?"

It was indeed; as more and more disciples arrived, the current Divine Sword Peak kitchen seemed a bit crowded.

Especially outside the kitchen, with so many disciples making their moves, it was a complete mess.

It was already packed with people, and now that they had to compete for spots, they couldn't even stretch out.

A disciple used a movement technique, having just taken a step forward.

"Flowing Light Step."

However, the next second, another disciple used a movement technique as well, and the two collided directly.

"Damn it, do you have eyes or not?"

"Your own movement technique isn't up to par, what does that have to do with me?"

"Not up to par? I'm at the Transformation Realm of the Flowing Light Step, damn it!"

"As if anyone else isn't."

Both were at the Transformation Realm of the Flowing Light Step, but in such an environment, they couldn't use it at all. After all, even a Transformation Realm movement technique couldn't walk through walls; they were all at the Transformation Realm, and they were all people, so it was very easy to bump into each other.

Never mind movement techniques, even arts were hard to use.

Take Li Dazui, for example; he was squeezed in the crowd, having just raised his hand to use the Cotton Palm.

"Watch my Cotton Palm."

But as the words left his mouth, he realized there were people all around him, and he couldn't even lift his arm.

"Damn it, let me lift my arm!"

"Lift my ass, my feet haven't even touched the ground."

Looking down, the disciple beside him was being squeezed into mid-air by the people around him.

"Junior Brother, this won't do. Let's use our spiritual power to force them out."

A disciple wanted to use spiritual power to push others back; hearing this, several fellow disciples nearby nodded in agreement.

"Good."

The idea was good, but unfortunately, many disciples had the same thought.

So... for a moment, countless streams of spiritual power burst out wildly; they should have been able to blast some disciples away.

But with so many streams of spiritual power colliding, instead of blasting the disciples away, it was as if a counter-force was created, squeezing everyone even tighter.

Some disciples had their faces pressed against other fellow disciples' backsides, and a Junior Sister from Jade Maiden Peak was squeezed into an awkward position, with her mouth pressed against a Senior Brother's crotch.

Instantly, the disciples screamed one after another.

"Withdraw your spiritual power, don't release it, damn it!"

"Did you fart? What did you eat? It's so stinky."

"Senior Brother, that's going too far. Just smelling it is enough, you still want my recipe?"

"I'll kill you, damn it!"

"Senior Brother, watch yourself..."

"Junior Sister, I can't control myself!"

The alley leading to the kitchen seemed to have instantly turned into a giant furnace; looking around, people were squeezed together, with no space at all.

Coupled with the constant collision and compression of spiritual power, even the last gaps were filled.

In the courtyard, Qi Xiong and the others also had complex expressions. It had actually turned into this?

They couldn't bear to watch anymore, and in the end, Qi Xiong and the others had to intervene personally to separate the disciples.

"See, I told you this kitchen was too small."

"The Senior Brother is right. Why not come to our Hundred Herbs Peak? My Hundred Herbs Peak has the fewest disciples and plenty of open space. I will personally build a new kitchen for the kid Ye Changqing."

Hearing this, Mu You spoke up immediately, his eyes full of anticipation.

But as soon as these words were out, they were immediately opposed by Hong Zun.

"Get lost. Ye Changqing is a person of our Divine Sword Peak; how could he go to your Hundred Herbs Peak?"
