On the other side.
Heavenly Nether Holy Land.
Shen Guanjian was racking his brains, wondering how to persuade the sect to let him join the Eternal First God Sect.
At the same time, there was a prerequisite: he had boasted that he would never join the Eternal First God Sect. If he did, he couldn't let Chen Mo laugh at him.
But theoretically, it was impossible.
As an elder disciple of the Heavenly Nether Holy Land, and having joined not long ago, joining the Eternal First God Sect would inevitably raise suspicions of betraying the sect, right?
But, fighting alongside Xu Fengqiu and the others would be so cool!
What man could resist such temptation?
"If Brother Xu had said earlier that he wanted to establish a sect in the Nine Heavens, I wouldn't have joined the Heavenly Nether Holy Land."
Shen Guanjian was extremely troubled.
At this moment, his master walked over.
"Guanjian, is something on your mind?"
"Master."
Shen Guanjian clasped his fist.
"It's nothing much, just heard about the establishment of the Eternal First God Sect and was thinking about something."
"Thinking about what?" The Second Elder of the Heavenly Nether Holy Land asked.
"About the same age, Brother Xu has already created a sect, while I am accomplishing nothing, feeling somewhat emotional," Shen Guanjian said.
"Xu Fengqiu, huh…"
The Second Elder took a sip of tea: "This guy is also one who doesn't play by the rules. Although he has established a relationship with the Tang Sect, it's not enough to allow him to establish a sect so ostentatiously. Eternal First God Sect, daring to use this name, Xu Fengqiu is the only one in the world who would do it."
"But this disciple has heard that there are quite a few strong individuals joining the Eternal First God Sect," Shen Guanjian said.
The Second Elder nodded, his brow furrowed: "This old man is also a bit puzzled. Why have so many strong individuals joined in such a short day? These strong individuals are too rash. Xu Fengqiu, coupled with such a sect name, the future will definitely not be peaceful. Moreover, Xu Fengqiu hasn't offered any benefits that would make people risk joining and be unable to refuse."
"That's the charm of Brother Xu," Shen Guanjian said.
"Nonsense! He, Xu Fengqiu, is powerful, but the world isn't full of fools. Everyone can see the advantages and disadvantages clearly. Let me tell you this, with just the name of this sect, the Immortal Palace will not turn a blind eye. The Immortal Palace may not take action, but it will definitely do something in the dark to incite other sects to attack him. You watch, it won't be long before the Eternal First God Sect will inevitably face its first battle, and the intensity of this battle will not be low."
Shen Guanjian: "Isn't there the Tang Sect?"
"You watch, the Tang Sect will inevitably be unable to intervene at that time. As for the reason, there will definitely be one."
Shen Guanjian lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
"Master, this disciple wants to go on a journey of cultivation."
"Cultivate where?"
"The Eternal First God Sect."
The Second Elder: "…"
"Nonsense! The Eternal First God Sect will be destroyed before long, suffering heavy losses. Going there, whether you can come back alive is another matter, it all depends on Xu Fengqiu's methods. What are you going there for?"
Shen Guanjian said: "Master, I don't know if you have any dreams?"
The Second Elder: "…"
Shen Guanjian then said: "As a man, dreams lie in the four directions, in this world, the Eternal First God Sect, brothers, fighting the world, sweeping across the Nine Provinces, achieving the true Eternal First Sect, Master, when you were young, didn't you have such passionate ideas? You must have!"
"Uh…"
The Second Elder looked at his disciple.
"Master, youth is slowly passing away, and the high spirits of a man will gradually be smoothed out by time, eventually staying in a sect, peacefully becoming an elder, Master! This disciple doesn't want to just be like that."
The corners of the Second Elder's mouth twitched.
"Alright, alright, alright, speak, what do you want this old man to do?" The Second Elder said.
"Hehe, Master, please help inform the Sect Leader on my behalf."
"That's impossible. For a dignified elder disciple to turn around and join a new sect, even if that sect is his disciple's sect, it would still be a disgrace to the reputation of our Heavenly Nether Holy Land."
The Second Elder looked at Shen Guanjian: "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes!"
"Then… this teacher does have a plan."
… …
"The sect has recently lost a lot of things?"
Duanmu Jin asked.
"Yes, this old man's talismans have been stolen in stacks," an elder of the Heavenly Nether Holy Land said.
"This old man's alchemy pavilion has lost several bottles of pills, all of which are eighth-order pills, totaling fifty or sixty pills."
"This old man's Zijin Pavilion has also lost several ancient books."
Duanmu Jin nodded: "It seems that someone in this Holy Land has unclean hands."
At this time, the Second Elder angrily kicked Shen Guanjian into the main hall.
"Go in, kneel down!" The Second Elder scolded.
Shen Guanjian knelt there.
"This… Second Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Everyone asked in confusion.
"Ask this孽障 what he has done!" The Second Elder pointed at Shen Guanjian and scolded.
Duanmu Jin asked: "Shen Guanjian, what have you done to make your master so angry?"
Shen Guanjian lowered his head and said: "This disciple… this disciple, in order to become stronger, therefore… therefore…"
Pa da—
The Second Elder slammed some pills, talismans, and other things on the table.
"This scoundrel actually stole things from the sect. If this old man hadn't discovered it, who knows how much more he would have stolen!"
"So it was you!"
"Good! This old man's pills were actually stolen by you brat! Do you know how many top-grade heavenly and earthly spiritual objects are needed to refine dozens of eighth-order pills?"
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
"… …"
Shen Guanjian lowered his head and knelt there.
So good! So good! So good!
It seems that the plan is about to succeed.
He conspired with the Second Elder.
Let him make a mistake, and then be expelled from the sect.
Now, he is already kneeling here.
He will definitely be expelled from the sect later.
Then he will join the Eternal First God Sect smoothly!
Handsome!
"Shen Guanjian, do you have anything else to say?"
Duanmu Jin looked at Shen Guanjian and asked.
Shen Guanjian wiped his tears with his arm.
"This disciple admits his guilt, this disciple knows his mistake… this disciple… this disciple is ashamed of the sect, ashamed of the master, ashamed of all the elders and the sect leader, and this disciple is even more ashamed of my father, my mother, and the people of my hometown."
Then Shen Guanjian said: "This disciple is willing to accept the sect's punishment."
"Good! Elder of Law Enforcement, you come and announce the sentence."
Duanmu Jin said.
"Shen Guanjian, what is the purpose of stealing these spiritual objects?"
"This disciple… wants to become stronger faster," Shen Guanjian said.
The Elder of Law Enforcement then said: "Well, the matter committed by Shen Guanjian is too serious, and according to the sect rules, he should be expelled from the sect."
Shen Guanjian: Good!
"But… Shen Guanjian has a good attitude in admitting his mistakes and has a relatively large space for repentance. As for his fault, this old man suggests that he use his actions to create value for the sect to smooth it out in the future. Therefore, this old man suggests, Shen Guanjian, fifty lightning strikes as punishment, temporarily seal his cultivation for one year, and go to the Cliff of Reflection to reflect on his mistakes."
Shen Guanjian: ? ? ?
Isn't it…
Isn't he being expelled from the sect?
Pūtōng—
Shen Guanjian immediately said with a handful of tears and snot: "Sect Leader, Elders, this disciple is ashamed, this disciple is ashamed, this disciple was temporarily blinded by his heart, this disciple is willing to be punished, please expel this disciple from the sect! This disciple has no complaints, no complaints!"
