Chapter 90: Not Intentional

Atop the highest peak of Luoxia Mountain.

Yan Xiao took out the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Diagram, finished chanting the incantation, and threw the card out.

"By my command!"

At the order, the card erupted with dazzling light, forming a seven-colored light barrier that enveloped the entire Luoxia Mountain.

Amidst the colors of the seven-colored light barrier, the entire Luoxia Mountain looked like a dreamlike fairyland, magnificent and beautiful.

"Wow... so pretty."

The female disciples couldn't help but reach out their hands, wanting to touch it.

As a result, before they could even make contact with the colors, they were blocked by an invisible force.

"This is the Mountain Protection Array I recently developed. Impressive, right?"

Yan Xiao's ethereal voice drifted over, his tone full of self-satisfaction.

"Impressive!"

The disciples replied in unison.

"Master Afu, what is the function of this array?" Ma Jianyang asked.

"Call me Master," Yan Xiao said, dissatisfied.

Master Afu sounded so unpleasant!

"Yes, Master Afu."

Ma Jianyang replied respectfully.

"Pfft..." Luo Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the other women were also holding back their laughter.

"This array can withstand attacks from cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm; as long as you are inside the array, no one can harm you."

Yan Xiao said triumphantly, as if the array were something he had invented.

"Senior Brother Sect Master is truly amazing!"

Luo Ying praised.

"These are just small tricks, small tricks... You all practice well, and when your cultivation levels improve, I will teach you even more powerful techniques and secrets."

Yan Xiao was bragging more and more outrageously.

"Hehehehe."

The disciples were naturally overjoyed; they had no idea that their Sect Master was just pulling their legs.

One by one, they ran off to practice, lighthearted and eager.

With the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Art, the disciples with good aptitude saw their cultivation grow rapidly; Zhang Ze was even more outstanding, having already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and on the verge of breaking through to the Cave Profound Realm.

"Senior Brother Sect Master."

Luo Ying called out to Yan Xiao softly.

Hm?

Yan Xiao turned around, puzzled.

This girl wouldn't be trying to seduce him again, would she?

Luo Ying looked truly beautiful today, just a little bit behind Qingxue.

"I'm sorry, did I cause you trouble?"

Luo Ying said in a low voice, head bowed.

Not a confession?

Yan Xiao felt a little disappointed.

"Cause trouble? Did you stir up trouble again?" Yan Xiao asked.

"What do you mean? How could I stir up trouble? I'm talking about that fat man; it's him who keeps looking at me lecherously, which is why Master got angry.

But it's not my fault that I'm pretty... besides, you don't even like me even though I'm pretty."

Luo Ying felt a bit aggrieved.

Uh...

Yan Xiao felt a headache coming on; what kind of game was this girl playing now?

"Ahem... well, Luo Ying..."

"Don't say it, I haven't asked for Qingxue and Sister Feng's consent yet."

Luo Ying hurriedly interrupted, taking small, quick steps as she ran away.

Leaving Yan Xiao looking completely bewildered.

"Is this girl flirting with me? Her methods are quite sophisticated!"

Yan Xiao scratched his head, unable to keep up with Luo Ying's train of thought.

Afternoon.

Tingxue returned first, having invited Sect Master Bai Lianhua of Baixue Mountain and a group of Elders over.

The method of invitation was quite unique: she had brought them back by holding a sword to Bai Lianhua's throat.

In the main hall.

Except for Bai Lianhua, the other Elders were all bruised and swollen; if Yan Xiao guessed correctly.

They must have been beaten up by Tingxue!

Yan Xiao took one look and stood frozen in place; the scene was momentarily awkward.

"Ah... haha... welcome, Sect Master Bai, to be a guest at my Luoxia Mountain. Tingxue, hurry and put the sword away; we're all our own people, don't be so formal."

"Sit, everyone sit," Yan Xiao said with a forced smile.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to sit down.

Fearing that she would displease Tingxue and get another sound beating.

"My Young Master tells you all to sit down."

Tingxue let out a cold snort, and the few of them collapsed onto their chairs with a thud.

It seems this girl hits quite hard.

Yan Xiao smacked his lips, truly not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Sect Master Yan, I do not object to you unifying the Seven Spirits, but I do not accept you threatening us like this."

Bai Lianhua took a deep breath and asked Yan Xiao sharply.

"Uh... Tingxue has a hasty temper; could there be some misunderstanding?" Yan Xiao rubbed his nose and asked awkwardly.

"Hmph!"

Bai Lianhua let out a cold snort, turned her head away, and said nothing more.

"Tingxue, tell me what happened. Why did you resort to hitting people? Didn't I say to treat them with courtesy and win them over with virtue?"

Yan Xiao blinked at Tingxue, signaling her to play along.

"They cursed me for having no respect for my elders and no sense of propriety, and she... said she wanted to teach me a lesson, so I struck. You said as long as no one died, it would be fine, and I did that."

Tingxue said with her head bowed.

Ah... haha.

Yan Xiao gave a dry laugh and said to Bai Lianhua, "Um, Senior Bai, Tingxue doesn't understand the ways of the world, and you have been wronged. However, that is the general idea; I wonder if you are willing to join my Luoxia Mountain?"

Bai Lianhua rolled her eyes; the fox's tail had finally been revealed.

"Sigh... I have heard about the affairs of Liuyun. Joining Luoxia Mountain is better than becoming someone else's slave. We are willing to join Luoxia Mountain, but I only ask that Sect Master Yan promise not to beat my Baixue Mountain disciples again after joining. Most of them are women and cannot withstand such beatings."

Bai Lianhua pleaded tearfully.

It was the first time Yan Xiao had heard such a strange request.

"..... I promise. Once you join Luoxia Mountain, we are all one family, and your treatment will certainly be no worse than it was at Baixue Mountain."

He looked at Tingxue; it seemed she had beaten quite a few people. Look at how terrified Sect Master Bai was.

"I hit about a hundred people, one slap each, not hard."

Tingxue said in a low voice.

Yan Xiao felt a kidney ache; with your Spirit Void Realm Sixth Layer cultivation, a single slap could slap someone to death.

No wonder Bai Lianhua was so terrified.

"Check if the Fear Value has increased?"

Yan Xiao opened the system backend nonchalantly, and upon looking, damn!

The Fear Value had actually increased by over 20,000!

With over a hundred people from Baixue Mountain, each person provided him with over two hundred Fear Value.

"Well done!"

Yan Xiao applauded Tingxue in his heart.

"Tingxue, you go down first. You did something wrong, so I am punishing you to go to the Spirit Cave and reflect on your mistakes for a month."

Yan Xiao waved his hand and said sternly.

"Yes."

Tingxue retreated slowly, and as she turned, a smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

She had intentionally caused trouble for Yan Xiao to see his attitude, and she was very satisfied with the result.

Yan Xiao hadn't said a single word of reproach; his favoritism moved her, making her feel a warmth and care she had never experienced before.

At this moment, she felt she had followed the right person.

Little did she know, Yan Xiao was even happier.

He could barely keep his mouth shut.

The members of Death Strike could provide him with a third of his Fear Value; it turned out it wasn't just about killing people or Phantom Demons—scaring people worked too.

With this discovery, he felt as if he had discovered a new continent and was extremely happy.

He decided that once Death Strike grew stronger, he would have Tingxue take them to other sects to "exchange pointers" and deepen the friendship between sects whenever they were free!

The next day.

Baixue Mountain and Qingyun Mountain announced: they were officially joining Luoxia Mountain.

Except for the disciples left behind to manage the mountain gates, all core disciples came to Luoxia Mountain to become entry-level disciples of Luoxia Mountain.

The number of Luoxia Mountain disciples increased by over two hundred, totaling about five hundred people.

For this reason, Yan Xiao specially selected fifty-one Elite Disciples to join Death Strike, and Death Strike thus reached one hundred members.

Another day passed.

Chang Yongsheng also came to Luoxia Mountain as a guest (to seek refuge), as the Liuyun Chen Family was attacking in full force, claiming they would destroy the Seven Spirits, destroy Chang Yongsheng, and unify Luoyue City.

Yet, at this tense moment, Luoxia Mountain held a grand banquet to celebrate the unification of the Seven Spirits.

After getting drunk, Sect Master Yan Xiao felt that "Luoxia Mountain" didn't sound good and was inauspicious, so he renamed it Huaxia Sect.

But the Elders felt that "Huaxia Sect" was too awkward to say, and they said that the Magic Sword Yan Xiao used was an Ancient Holy Sword, so it would be better to call it Shengjian Sect, implying that Yan Xiao could enter sainthood and become a god, allowing the sect to soar to the heavens.

Thus, the Shengjian Sect, which would become famous throughout the cultivation world, was officially established before the Sect Master blacked out from drinking.
