"Disciple Qiu Shuyao greets Sect Master. Disciple wishes to join the Immortal Sect, and begs Sect Master to grant her request."
The little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
This sentence was spoken very fluently and formally.
For a child who is only a few years old, it is obvious that she has already rehearsed it countless times in her mind.
only.
After kowtowing repeatedly, she did not receive the expected response.
She was already suppressing her grief, but when she realized she had been rejected, she panicked and couldn't help but sob silently.
But she was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
He kept kowtowing, even breaking his forehead and leaving it covered in blood.
Whether it was Lu Tao saving her earlier, the song he sang, or the words he just shouted, it all came down to her.
All of this proves that Lu Tao, the sect leader of the Immortal Sect, is extremely powerful. Not only is he strong, but he is also very capable. She wants to join the Immortal Sect, rely on Lu Tao's guidance, work hard to improve her cultivation, and then take revenge.
What filled her with despair was that despite kowtowing for so long, until she was dizzy and disoriented, she still couldn't get Lu Tao's consent.
Wu Ming, He Yuanshuang, and the other little ones were all a little reluctant.
They did not plead for the little girl.
They all believed that their sect leader must have his reasons for doing this.
He Zongming, Chen An, Wu Tianyou, and others naturally didn't say much. They had a certain understanding of Lu Tao and trusted his ability to handle things.
Even Kong Hao and the other Divine Platform experts remained silent, watching with curiosity how Lu Tao would handle the matter.
At this moment.
Lord Shen also brought a large group of children to the front of the Immortal Sect. Upon seeing this scene, they all waited quietly.
——
Just as the little girl was bleeding from her head and about to give up, Lu Tao spoke up.
"What's your name?" Lu Tao asked in a deep voice.
"Qiu Shuyao".
"I'll ask you one more time, what's your name?"
Lu Tao's voice grew louder, giving off an extremely serious, yet seemingly extremely angry, feeling.
"Chou...Shuyao." The little girl's voice trembled slightly.
Lu Tao sighed, his voice suddenly returning to calm, and said, "I'll ask you one last time, what's your name?"
"Chou... Li Shuyao, my name is Li Shuyao, sob sob..."
The little girl suddenly broke down and burst into tears, "I just want to remember the hatred of my clan's extermination. I don't want to forget everything that happened tonight. I want revenge. I want to kill them all. Waaah... They killed my whole family. I want revenge. Waaah..."
"Get up."
Lu Tao gently pulled Li Shuyao up, squatted down to wipe the blood from her forehead, circulated his vital energy to help her recover, and said softly, "Descendants are the continuation of the lives of their ancestors. Your life now is not only yours, but also your parents', your grandfather's, and your elders'."
"How painful it would be for them to know that you have abandoned your clan name, that your eyes are blinded by hatred, and that you live your whole life in hatred?"
"The hatred of the extermination of our clan must not be forgotten, and should even be kept in mind."
"But we cannot let hatred control our souls, or we will be no different from walking corpses."
“We can use hatred as motivation to cultivate ourselves and gain the power of revenge.”
"Do you understand all this?"
Li Shuyao pursed her lips and nodded firmly, "Disciple understands."
Do you understand?
Lu Tao turned to look at the group of children brought by City Lord Shen, the orphans who were about to become disciples of the Immortal Sect.
"clear!"
A group of children responded loudly, but some of them still had a deep hatred in their eyes, just like Li Shuyao had before.
Upon seeing this, Lu Tao couldn't help but say, "I have avenged most of the annihilation of your clan. Now, there should be two enemies left: one in the late stage of the Divine Platform realm and the other in the perfect stage of the Martial King realm."
"Are you... confident you can get revenge?"
Upon hearing this, all the little ones were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lu Tao, their brains seemingly shutting down.
Being in Mufeng City, they naturally knew what kind of existence the Divine Platform and the Martial King were.
Such a powerful person is not even worthy of being carried by their parents or elders, let alone them.
How could they possibly have the ability to take revenge?
Thinking about this...
Those children who had previously looked at each other with hatred suddenly lost their light, while the other children were filled with resentment, despair, and confusion...
"What? Scared? Lacking confidence?"
Lu Tao raised an eyebrow and scanned all the children.
However, the group of little ones all avoided his gaze, even though more than a dozen of them were shouting "Don't be afraid" and "Have confidence," they didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"A mere Divine Platform and the Martial King have frightened you? Weren't you filled with hatred just now? How come you're scared now that you hear your enemy is too strong? What happened to the hatred in your hearts? Have you forgotten it?"
Lu Tao shouted angrily, "Tell us, do you still remember your deceased relatives?"
"Remember!"
The little ones seemed to have been provoked by Lu Tao, and they all started shouting.
"Very good. Remember, the Immortal Sect does not recruit walking corpses, nor does it recruit cowards. You should remember your hatred, but you cannot let hatred take away your remaining life."
They gave him a stern talking-to and a reprimand.
Lu Tao continued, "You don't need to worry about not being able to get revenge. Once you enter the Immortal Sect, you can kill your enemies, no matter if they are Divine Platform experts or Martial Kings, or even Martial Gods. As long as you are willing to work hard in your cultivation, becoming such a powerful figure in the future will not be difficult."
This applies not only to those children.
Even Kong Hao and his group didn't believe it.
Kong Hao was speechless. He felt that Lu Tao really didn't hold back when he started bragging. He was just talking nonsense about someone who was only at the early stage of the Innate Realm.
If Lu Tao were a Martial King, he would choose to believe Lu Tao just this once.
But now, he really doesn't believe it.
Lu Tao himself is sure he can do it in the future. These little guys want to become Divine Platform and Martial King?
That's wishful thinking.
Lu Tao naturally wouldn't explain further. Once these disciples received the cultivation techniques from the Heavenly Eye, they would naturally understand whether it was true or false.
"Alright, come in, everyone."
Lu Tao stepped aside and gestured for him to come in, "Master Kong, please come in."
In front of so many people, Lu Tao did not casually address Kong Hao as "brother," but still gave him the full respect due to his status as the head of the manor.
Let's go together.
Kong Hao didn't stand on ceremony and entered the Immortal Sect with Lu Tao.
The others followed suit and went inside.
Lord Shen and his men led over six hundred children into the Immortal Sect's residence.
Next.
With Kong Hao as witness, Lu Tao held a simple initiation ceremony for the children and Li Shuyao.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
A group of children performed the disciple's salute to Lu Tao in the mansion courtyard, thus joining the Immortal Sect.
It was already past midnight, and the children were all exhausted.
Therefore.
Lu Tao didn't say much, and directly handed the group of children over to Zhou Yulan, Xia Qing and others to arrange for them to sleep.
Fortunately, the mansion is large enough, covering 200,000 square meters, so people can squeeze in and make do.
"My sect is still too shabby."
Even Lu Tao himself couldn't help but complain.
More than 600 disciples.
When General Wei and others brought the other children, there were about seven hundred of them.
With such a large group of people crammed into a 200,000-square-meter mansion, there was still a bit of insufficient space.
"Who told you to take in so many disciples at once?"
Kong Hao felt no sympathy whatsoever. He had long advised Lu Tao to take on fewer disciples, but Lu Tao wouldn't listen and took on seven hundred at once. He was genuinely worried about whether Lu Tao could teach these disciples well.
"It'll only be for two days. After two days, when we go to Yongkang Prefecture, we'll arrange a large plot of land for you. It can accommodate not only seven hundred people, but even seven thousand people."
Kong Hao had already arranged a piece of land for Lu Tao to establish his sect.
Lu Tao was quite looking forward to it.
"Brother Lu, it's really fortunate that you were here this time, otherwise how many people would have been lost in Yongkang Prefecture?"
Kong Hao patted Lu Tao on the shoulder and said, "Alright, you should go and get some rest too. You've worked hard tonight."
Kong Hao turned and left.
The departing figure no longer seemed so imposing, carrying a hint of desolation.
Lu Tao understood.
Kong Hao was also in great pain. As the head of a prefecture, how could he not be heartbroken to lose hundreds of thousands of people overnight?
However, as the head of a prefecture, representing the spirit of the people, he could not show his vulnerable side to others.
I'm just putting on a brave face.
Lu Tao returned to his room, took out a large number of storage rings, and began searching for something.
