Upon hearing the words "Shennong Gate," the reporters were all shocked.

The Shennong Sect was considered one of the top sects in the secular world. Although the Shennong Sect no longer exists, some secret rumors still exist. Some say they are disciples of the Shennong Sect, some say they are disciples of the Shennong Sect, and some even say they are immortals from the celestial realm.

Such rumors generally lead many people to believe them, since if it were truly the Shennong Sect, they would indeed be able to create various miracles.

However, today was an exception.

The reporters saw one of the three elders of the Shennong Sect step forward and say, "We are merely disciples of the Shennong Sect."

The reporters were stunned again.

They couldn't understand why the people of Shennong Sect would admit that they were just disciples of Shennong Sect.

How did they learn that only three disciples remained in the Shennong Sect?

"Are you really just disciples of the Shennong Sect? Can you really create all sorts of miracles?" the reporters pressed on relentlessly.

"That's right, we are indeed just disciples of the Shennong Sect. My name is Li Mingxuan, the chief disciple of the Shennong Sect," Li Mingxuan replied calmly.

"Since you are disciples of the Shennong Sect, why do you say that you are only a disciple of the Shennong Sect?" the reporters continued to ask.

"Because we are only disciples of the Shennong Sect, but not the only disciples of the Shennong Sect," Li Mingxuan continued.

As soon as he said that, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Besides Li Mingxuan, who else is the sole disciple of the Shennong Sect?

"The disciples of Shennong Sect are divided into nine levels. My brother, my fellow disciples, and I belong to the lowest level of Shennong Sect disciples. The higher-ups of Shennong Sect belong to the ninth level."

"As for the chief disciples of the Shennong Sect, my two fellow disciples and I, along with my four fellow disciples, are all at the seventh level. There are twelve high-ranking members in the Shennong Sect."

"The so-called 'twelve levels' is just a concept," Li Mingxuan explained slowly. "Within the Shennong Sect, there are a total of thirty-six levels, and each advancement requires a tremendous price."

"Each advancement corresponds to a different realm. My fellow disciple and I are at the fourth level, my master is at the fifth level, and my senior sister is also at the fourth level. Moreover, my senior sister is only about twenty years old, and her aptitude is even better than ours."

"As for the chief disciple, he is the head of the Shennong Sect, one of only nine heads in the sect. It is said that when he was still the chief disciple, the Shennong Sect had already successfully repelled the Chinese army."

"We are merely the lowest-ranking disciples of the Shennong Sect, that is to say, the lowest-ranking disciples within the Shennong Sect."

"Moreover, there is countless competition within the Shennong Sect, and we are merely one of them. Perhaps even the chief disciple will encounter danger!"

"The lives of us Shennong disciples are in a world of unspeakable hardship. Every year, thousands of us leave our homes."

Li Mingxuan's words silenced the reporters.

"Is what you just said true?" the reporter asked again.

"I have no reason to lie to you," Li Mingxuan said, nodding.

"So how did you and Yamamoto Isoroku become disciples of the Shennong Sect?" a reporter asked.

Upon hearing the name Yamamoto Isoroku, Li Mingxuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He glanced at the Shennong Sect members and said, "During the War of Resistance against Japan, my brother's master and I were saved by Mr. Yamamoto Isoroku. Back then, during that war, our Shennong Sect was occupied by the enemy. When we were fleeing, Mr. Yamamoto and his men killed Yamamoto Juro, who was Mr. Yamamoto's only disciple."

"Oh, I see..." the reporters exclaimed in sudden realization.

"So how did you end up returning to Shennongmen?" another reporter asked.

"Later, due to some special circumstances, Mr. Yamamoto asked us to leave and return to Shennong Sect after we settled down. By then, we had successfully cultivated to the ninth level. Unfortunately, my master had already passed away. Otherwise, perhaps we wouldn't have had to suffer here." Li Mingxuan sighed.

"What level of cultivation does your master possess?" the reporter asked again.

"Master has already ascended to immortality, but as for his realm, I do not know," Li Mingxuan said, shaking his head.

Hearing Li Mingxuan's words, all the reporters felt very sorry that such a talented disciple was just an ordinary reporter.

Li Mingxuan's eyes flickered twice after hearing what the reporters said.

At this point, the reporters began asking, "How many disciples of your Shennong Sect are still here?"

"There are thirty-eight disciples of the Shennong Sect. Besides them, my fellow disciple and I are also disciples of the Shennong Sect. As for the rest, they are all independent cultivators. They are just a small group of people in the Shennong Sect," Li Mingxuan said.

Although the number of disciples in the Shennong Sect is small, it is still enough to excite the reporter.

"So, you've come back this time to participate in this year's rookie ranking competition?" a reporter asked.

"Yes!" Li Mingxuan nodded and said, "However, my goal this time is not to compete for first place on the rookie ranking, but to find my senior sister, Li Wan'er!"

"Li Wan'er?"

The reporters fell into deep thought.

They had all heard of Li Wan'er's great name, but none of them had ever met her in person.
