Just as Jade Cauldron Immortal was preparing to leave in sorrow, Yang Jian and the other two returned.

Yang Jian's voice rang out, "Where is Jade Cauldron Immortal going?!"

Master Yu Ding stopped, but remained silent. Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?"

Jade Cauldron Immortal: "..."

Why are you being so fierce!

I……

What should I say? Should I tell you I'm going to eat poop?! Damn it!

"No...it's nothing, I'm just taking a stroll," Master Yuding said with a forced smile.

Yang Jian then said, "Yu Ding, my sister and I are planning to establish our Jie Sect's dojo at the mouth of the Guan River to spread the profound mysteries of our Jie Sect. Since you're quite clever, how about being a gatekeeper?"

Jade Cauldron Immortal: ?!

That's going too far!

I!

Jade Cauldron Immortal, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, you think I'm your doorman?! Do you think I'm a dog?

"No, I must take my leave!" said Jade Cauldron Immortal hastily.

"stop!"

Yang Jian said coldly, "Since you won't join, then your offer to be my master earlier has to be forgotten. You think you're worthy?! Hmm?! Considering it's your first offense and you didn't know better, I'll spare your life, but you'll be spared the death penalty, though you won't escape punishment!"

As soon as the voice fell,

Before Master Yuding could even beg for mercy, he was kicked away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Senior Brother Yuan, would you like to join us and my siblings in establishing our Jie Sect's training ground at Guanjiang Estuary?" Yang Chan asked.

Yuan Hong shook his head slightly, "No, I have some things to attend to. Besides, I need to establish my own true Daoist temple and pass on the profound mysteries of the Jie Sect, so I won't be with my siblings! Alright, I'll be going now!"

"Senior brother, wait a moment... Senior brother, you've gained a lot from this trip..." Before Yang Jian could finish speaking, Yuan Hong had already disappeared from the spot.

...

at the same time,

Above Chaoge City, the imperial dragon aura surged, its golden light illuminating the entire city.
