The Chen family members wore solemn expressions.
Chen Mo was the young master of their Chen family.
He was also the top genius of their Chen family in this generation.
They acknowledged Xu Fengqiu's strength and methods.
However, they did not believe that Xu Fengqiu could develop a sect in the Nine Heavens.
Developing a force was not that easy.
Moreover, this was the Nine Heavens!
Recruiting talents widely?
The name 'Eternal First Divine Sect', coupled with Xu Fengqiu making so many enemies.
Who would dare to join?
Joining would likely be followed by frequent and continuous battles.
Many forces would use the excuse of attacking the Eternal First Divine Sect to kill Xu Fengqiu.
Who joins a sect not for its strength and stability?
And the benefits it provides.
The Weapon Sect next door could offer some benefits.
Whether real or fake, at least they said they could cultivate top-grade hidden weapons.
The salary and resources would definitely not be less.
Those people and forces who had grudges against Xu Fengqiu were laughing to death.
"Even with the Poetry Saint sitting there, it's useless. Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't join the Eternal First Divine Sect because of Xu Fengqiu's reputation. Joining means possibly dying in sect wars at any time, unable to settle down."
"So, I'm afraid not many people will join the Eternal First Divine Sect."
"Then what should we do? The young master has already joined, and we can't go against Xu Fengqiu's face."
"Alas, Xu Fengqiu wouldn't think that with his fame shaking the Nine Provinces, he could directly attract a large number of strong individuals to join the Eternal First Divine Sect, would he?"
"..."
"Old Ancestor, what do you say?"
Chen Mo's father said.
The Chen family's Old Ancestor sighed.
"This Eternal First Divine Sect is bound to be unstable, and it's impossible for many people to join voluntarily. They only have a few people. Once a fight breaks out, Xu Fengqiu and the Poetry Saint might be able to protect themselves, but this little devil might not."
Then, the Chen family's Old Ancestor said, "Let's do this. The Chen family will send a group of strong individuals, changing their names and surnames to join the Eternal First Divine Sect. This way, at least we can ensure that Chen Mo, this brat, is protected once a fight breaks out."
"This… alright."
They nodded.
"Yes, that's right. Send some unfamiliar faces over. If it really doesn't work, then disguise them."
"Understood."
…
Weapon Sect.
Tang Fan stood there with his hands behind his back.
The Great Elder walked over.
"One day has passed, and only one God-Emperor Realm and one Heavenly Dao Realm have joined?" Tang Fan murmured.
The Great Elder said, "It's only been one day. Many people haven't even received the news yet. It will take time for those who have received the news to come. Sect Master, don't be anxious. The Weapon Sect's start is already very good. Now it can be considered a slightly mainstream sect, which is much better than the Eternal First Divine Sect next door. Xu Fengqiu himself doesn't want the strong individuals and disciples of the former Canglan Sect."
"By the way, the Eternal First Divine Sect opened on the same day as our Weapon Sect. Has anyone joined?"
The Great Elder said, "Oh dear, this old man really hasn't paid attention to this. I've been busy with the sect's affairs. However, I received accurate news that the Poetry Saint has joined the Eternal First Divine Sect."
Tang Fan frowned.
"Why would the Poetry Saint join his Eternal First Divine Sect? He likes freedom and roaming the world. How could he easily settle down?"
The Great Elder said, "Perhaps it's to repay the favor he owes Xu Fengqiu."
"Well, that makes sense. Help this Sect Master find the Third Elder. He should have received news about the Eternal First Divine Sect."
"Yes."
Soon, the Weapon Sect's Third Elder also came to Tang Fan's side.
These few were all strong individuals from the Myriad Poison Sect, sent to help Tang Fan.
Tang Fan also trusted them more and gave them relatively good identities.
"Third Elder, what is the current situation of this Eternal First Divine Sect? Besides the Poetry Saint, has anyone joined?" Tang Fan asked.
"Yes."
Tang Fan frowned: "How many people?"
"Um… one after another… there are a hundred people."
"What?"
Hearing this, Tang Fan was directly stunned.
His Weapon Sect had only two people join in one day.
His, Tang Fan's, reputation was not as good as Xu Fengqiu's, but theoretically, no one would dare to join Xu Fengqiu's Eternal First Divine Sect so rashly.
"They're not strong, right?" Tang Fan asked.
The Third Elder also said somewhat awkwardly, "According to the current news… these hundred or so people may… all be in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and the highest may even have the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Seventh or Eighth Order."
Tang Fan: ???
"What? Why? Aren't they afraid that joining the Eternal First Divine Sect will be followed by endless sect wars? Don't they consider their own safety? Why are they pouring into the Eternal First Divine Sect all at once? What benefits did Xu Fengqiu offer?"
The Third Elder shook his head: "The reason is really not very clear. They just inexplicably joined the Eternal First Divine Sect all at once, and Xu Fengqiu didn't offer any special benefits."
"Or are these Immortal Emperors originally from the Xu family?"
The Third Elder shook his head: "It's really not."
"Then why?"
The Third Elder said, "Yes, it's incomprehensible. Even if normal martial artists have the idea of joining the Eternal First Divine Sect, they will observe for a period of time. Moreover, discerning people are clear that with this sect's name and Xu Fengqiu making so many enemies, there will be frequent battles in the future. In the Nine Heavens, even if Xu Fengqiu has monstrous methods, he will definitely shatter at the first touch. I also don't understand why they want to join."
"However… currently, the only possibility this old man can think of is."
"Third Elder means that they are simply going for Xu Fengqiu's reputation? They put the danger behind them and firmly believe that following Xu Fengqiu will definitely bring great benefits?" Tang Fan asked.
The Third Elder nodded: "That's the only possibility. Perhaps it's also because of the Supreme Immortal Emperor Poetry Saint sitting there, but the root cause is still Xu Fengqiu."
Tang Fan said, "Xu Fengqiu is indeed heaven-defying, a legend, but this is the Nine Heavens."
…
Eternal First Divine Sect.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Xu, then this old man will stay here from now on. Feel free to give orders at any time."
An old man said.
"Well, this old man will also trouble Sect Master in the future."
"This… Heavenly… Ah… Earth Remote Immortal Emperor is an old acquaintance of this old man. I called him to join together. Yes, yes, yes, we know each other, hahaha, the Sect Master saw it."
"Haven't you heard of our names? That's because we are not famous people. We just came for the Sect Master's great reputation. We just believe that the Sect Master has legendary abilities."
"…"
Those strong individuals from the Chen family were also speaking ambiguously.
That's right.
All the strong individuals who joined the Eternal First Divine Sect one after another were from the Chen family.
Each of them either Chen Mo and everyone else were not very familiar with, and changed their names.
Or they disguised themselves and then changed their names.
The purpose was to ensure the safety of their Chen family's young master at close range.
