This elder was Ba Ling Sect's Old Ancestor Feng Fan.
Zeng Zifang's Jade Slip also mentioned that he was in charge of Right Ear Peak.
"Old Ancestor!"
Elder Fu, Zeng Zifang, and Zeng Ruohai bowed together.
Old Ancestor Feng Fan released his Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, and his imposing aura pressed down on Qian Duoduo as he slowly asked, "You want to join Ba Ling Sect?"
Before Qian Duoduo could answer, Old Ancestor Feng Fan released a wave of Evil Qi that enveloped Qian Duoduo. At the same time, his powerful Spiritual Awareness went straight for Qian Duoduo's head, about to rush into Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Vein.
Just as Qian Duoduo was about to resist, Elder Fu moved a finger, using a Formation to intercept the powerful Spiritual Awareness.
"Old Ancestor, please stop."
Old Ancestor Feng Fan glared at him.
"You won't let me inspect him?"
"I wouldn't dare. Investigating the identity of a Disciple entering the Sect is my duty; I wouldn't presume to trouble Old Ancestor with such a task."
Elder Fu retorted with reason and evidence.
"If he is an enemy Sect's spy, can you bear that responsibility?"
Old Ancestor Feng Fan tried to intimidate him.
"I will activate the Sect's Formation and follow the procedures. If he is still a spy, then the Sect rules will punish him accordingly."
"However, if he is not a spy, but is rejected or mistakenly killed in public, then Ba Ling Sect will gain a bad reputation for being narrow-minded and unrestrained."
Elder Fu was not easily swayed.
Relying on Zhao Family Old Ancestor, he feared neither Zeng Zifang nor Old Ancestor Feng Fan.
Old Ancestor Feng Fan smiled.
"Elder Fu is right. I was overthinking it."
He glanced at Zeng Zifang and Zeng Ruohai, who were looking relaxed, then activated the Mystic Sky Crocodile and flew towards Right Ear Peak.
Qian Duoduo followed Elder Fu in loudly reciting the Sect entrance oath and putting on Ba Ling Sect's robes.
After the entrance oath was read, a knot of Soul Power formed in Qian Duoduo's Upper Spirit Sea.
If a Cultivator betrayed the Sect, the Soul Power would activate, automatically attacking the Upper Spirit Sea and reducing their cultivation to less than one-tenth.
But with Liu Boli present, this Soul knot, upon entering Qian Duoduo's Upper Spirit Sea, merely transformed into a small pebble. Even if it self-destructed, it wouldn't cause much of a stir.
"Congratulations, Brother Qian!"
Zeng Zifang stepped forward, her face full of smiles.
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
Qian Duoduo respectfully bowed to her.
Before entering Ba Ling Sect, he and Zeng Zifang were considered friends, albeit friends who secretly plotted against each other.
But now that he had joined Ba Ling Sect, she was the Grand Elder of his Immortal Peak, his superior, and he could no longer be as casual as before.
Seeing that Qian Duoduo had properly positioned himself, Zeng Zifang pointed at Zeng Ruohai.
"This Peak's Grand Protector."
"Greetings, Grand Protector!"
Qian Duoduo bowed solemnly to Zeng Ruohai.
Zeng Ruohai showed disdain, giving Qian Duoduo a cold look.
His sister had told him her thoughts, so he naturally didn't want to expend much Qi on a weak, soon-to-be-dead person.
"Let's go."
Zeng Zifang was in a very good mood. As she walked, she introduced the buildings along the way and the rules of each peak to Qian Duoduo.
In her opinion, now that Qian Duoduo had entered the Sect, he was like meat on a chopping board; she could peel off whatever layer of skin she wanted.
Upon reaching Nose Peak, Zeng Zifang smiled and pointed to the two paths leading into the mountain.
"Duoduo, do you remember the rules for entering the peak?"
Qian Duoduo nodded.
She had just said that there were two paths to enter Nose Peak: the left path would encounter a Wind Dragon, and the right path would encounter an arrow rain.
Both the Wind Dragon and the arrow rain were triggered by a Formation, becoming stronger or weaker depending on the Cultivator's cultivation. Passing meant enduring for ten breaths; failing meant being blocked outside.
Stepping to the left, Qian Duoduo's left foot landed on Nose Peak.
