Chapter 7 could have deceived you
This person appears very ordinary, and their most significant characteristic is that they have no notable features
So even if this matter leads to death, what of it?
Before that, please live well
"No, no, no, young brother, do not be so quick to agree; let me finish speaking first," Gu Lingzi waved his hand and said, "As a righteous sect of the immortal path, we conduct ourselves with integrity and could easily deceive you into joining the Demon Spirit Sect, then spend money to buy information from you. However, as a legitimate sect of the immortal way, we disdain to do so"
After all, he does not harbor any ill feelings towards the entire sect. The Blood Oath Alliance is the Blood Oath Alliance, and the Immortal Extreme Sect is the Immortal Extreme Sect. Although Zhang Shaochen is young, he is clear about his grievances and gratitude
Even if his heart truly wanted to leap out of his chest, he had to maintain a calm demeanor, waiting until he had finished listening to the words of the immortal before he could leisurely return to the dust and retrieve his heart, placing it back in its rightful place
Therefore, I have laid out the conditions and informed you that if you go undercover in the Demon Sect, upon the completion of the mission, you will be able to join the Immortal Extreme Sect
Therefore, the old Daoist hopes that the next time we meet, it will be the moment you return in glory, enter my Immortal Extreme Sect, and pay your respects under my guidance
Fortunately, the old Daoist quickly continued, "However, I have not taken on disciples for many years. If you wish to become my disciple, you must first help me with a task."
The sound of "bang bang bang" is as if my heart is about to leap out of my chest
A simple and unadorned phrase struck the young man like a bolt of lightning in an instant, leaving him trembling all over
The next few days will actually be quite difficult to endure
Zhang Shaochen, you must understand that I am, after all, the deputy master of the Xianji Sect. Once you enter the Demon Spirit Sect, there will be no opportunity for us to meet again
"His reputation is quite poor! He has done nothing but bad things," Zhang Shaochen replied from the bottom of his heart
Such thoughts may seem childish and ridiculous, but when it comes to him, they are not funny at all—Zhang Shaochen has always been in dire need of opportunities
"Demon Spirit Sect?" Zhang Shaochen was taken aback and quickly searched his mind.
Moreover, until the moment when Gu Lingzi nodded in acknowledgment and gracefully turned to leave, he did not inquire about the deadline for this task
Well, very good
He is plagued by uncertainty, always doubting whether the fleeting and elusive spirit is merely a figment of his own imagination
I am willing! Faced with such astonishing conditions, Zhang Shaochen agreed without a moment's hesitation.
Zhang Shaochen's heart suddenly raced wildly
He firmly believes that such a self-respecting and noble senior from the immortal sect would never deceive him; if he were to ask, wouldn't that appear very petty, very distrustful, and very disrespectful?
Therefore, everything is explained to you, whether you are willing or not, it all depends on your own understanding
Then, if I were to tell you now that the condition for you to join the Immortal Extreme Sect and become my disciple is to first go to Cave Spirit Mountain, join the Demon Spirit Sect, and infiltrate to gather intelligence, would you still be willing?
In the past, those rascals and delinquents were not without opportunities to bring about their own demise; but has there ever been an occasion where the rewards offered by the immortal Gu Lingzi were as generous as this one
When he returned to his little nest at the City God Temple with an excited heart, he had just sat down on the ground when he suddenly thought: "Ah! No wonder that ancient spirit's master is looking for me. I am in Jiangzhou Xunyang, which is indeed not far from Ling Mountain."
Thus, the originally clever young man was now in a daze, unable to utter a single word
"Senior, you said, what should I do next?" The young man looked eagerly at the old Daoist.
"Not bad, that's it," Gu Lingzi said, stroking his beard and nodding. "Since you know, tell me, what is the reputation of the Demon Spirit Sect?"
But he knew that at this moment, he could not make any moves to interrupt the ancient spirit's speech
As for one's own family, they were harmed by the Blood Oath Alliance, which is affiliated with the righteous path of the Immortal Sect; what relevance does that have?
It is important to know that it is currently the fifth great sect in the world; not only that, but you can also become a disciple under my guidance
At this moment, the ancient spirit, seeing him so calm, secretly nodded in approval, and then continued to speak: "Young brother, in the past few days, I have happened to see you and found that your bones are extraordinary and your thoughts are clear. I have the intention to recruit you into my Immortal Extreme Sect. However—" The old man’s teasing left the young man pale, truly feeling that his heart might not survive this day, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
Not in a hurry
Over the years, apart from the occasional appearance and swift disappearance of the Leaf Heroine, hardly anyone has been able to be as open-hearted as Gu Lingzi, who not only confides in herself but also offers such respect and care.
I do not consider you worthless simply because you are a rootless and unanchored little beggar
This is a warm and comfortable shiver
Therefore, you need not rush to respond; take your time to consider thoroughly, and I shall appear to seek you out in due course
Subsequent matters will be taken care of by others for you
Furthermore, if one does not seize this rare opportunity, how is it possible to uncover the truth behind the bloody incident of that year, or even seek revenge
Therefore, after contemplating these matters, Zhang Shaochen stood in the spring breeze of the long street and said to himself with utmost seriousness: "Zhang Shaochen, starting today, you shall live well relying on the promise of your esteemed mentor, Gu Lingzi!"
Ah?
"Very good, very good." The previously serious Gu Lingzi now showed a hint of a smile on her face
"Have you heard of the Demon Spirit Sect?" Gu Lingzi asked somewhat aimlessly
After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly exclaimed with excitement: "I know! I know! The Demon Spirit Sect is the foremost sect of the demonic path, located not far to the south on Dongling Mountain. I have heard people mention it!"
As the deputy leader of a prestigious sect, Gu Lingzi indeed possesses a generous and magnanimous character. He does not resort to deceitful flattery simply because Zhang Shaochen is merely a lowly beggar from the streets; instead, he offers substantial promises and ample respect.
What a thing! Zhang Shaochen's tone was not a question, but an exclamation.
What if the senior becomes displeased and changes their mind, deciding not to assign me the perilous task of infiltrating the demonic sect, which is fraught with danger? What should I do then
So, before that...
What I would like to add is that going undercover in the demonic sect is a matter of life and death, which is vastly different in terms of danger compared to your past experiences of begging for food, doing odd jobs, and avoiding vicious dogs
More importantly, he, Zhang Shaochen, is merely a small beggar from a broken family that has been wiped out, and in fact, he no longer possesses any bargaining power.
If he were placed among a crowd, even if one stared at him several times, once the crowd dispersed, there would be no impression of him left.
If you join the Demon Spirit Sect, there will be people who will contact you
Fortunately, it was not long before someone came to find him
No need to think about it! I have agreed! Such favorable conditions are already a tremendous favor for me, Zhang Shaochen!
Therefore, upon hearing this, the boy, who had never been cared for by anyone, was already filled with tears of emotion.
