"It seems things are a little different from what we imagined..."
Zero said in a low voice.
"Yes, but this is undoubtedly not a good opportunity. By recruiting disciples, we can easily infiltrate them, right? And we won't be discovered..."
Jiang Quan said with some surprise.
But before he could even rejoice, Bi Hui interrupted him abruptly:
"This recruitment of disciples is just a smokescreen. If anyone could just get in, wouldn't the three upper sects be in chaos? Especially at this critical juncture..."
"That's true."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Quan, who had been relieved that there was a better way to infiltrate, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and lost his spirit.
"Things will work themselves out in the end; there's always a way, it's just that safety can't be guaranteed..."
"Alright, let's not worry about that for now, let's hurry to Daoguang Sect!"
As he spoke, Bi Hui took the initiative to lead the way.
The others nodded and followed him.
During the rest of the journey, the group was not delayed by other things around them. Roughly estimated, it took them about half an hour to reach the outer area where Daoguang Sect was located.
Bi Hui pointed to the giant building within the semi-transparent light curtain and said:
"That's the base of my Daoguang Sect inside. The outer light barrier isn't actually harmful, so you can go in without worry."
After saying this, Bi Hui paused, then continued:
"However... Brother Zero, I wonder what method you plan to use to infiltrate?"
"Let's see if the group of disciples who were recruited outside will come here."
Ling did not answer Bi Hui's question immediately, but turned to look at a group of people not far behind them.
If nothing unexpected happens, those should be the people on the street who are going to become disciples of the Daoguang Sect, right...?
Upon hearing Ling's words, Bi Hui turned around and asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Wait, that's strange, they seem to be heading this way too..."
"Could my guess be wrong?"
"Are they the ones who are going to become official disciples of the Daoguang Sect?"
As the team drew closer, Bi Hui began to doubt his initial thoughts.
"Just keep watching and you'll find out."
Mei Shiqi said it in a calm tone.
As the group drew closer, the four of them concealed themselves and flew upwards into the sky.
They released their spiritual energy, minimizing their presence. Unless someone was intentionally probing, they would not be detected.
"Look, they've gone in!"
As the group approached the light screen, Jiang Quan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
No. They went to another place.
After observing for a moment, Elder Mei Shiqi slowly spoke.
“That’s right. On the surface, they seem to have entered the territory of the Daoguang Sect, but look closely—”
Zero pointed to a spot on the enormous light screen and continued:
There is actually a gap there.
"After they went through the light curtain, they actually entered another passage and arrived at another place."
He observed the subtle details and shared his discovery with everyone.
Jiang Quan and Bi Hui were not as observant as Ling, and only after hearing Ling's words did they realize the truth.
"There's a teleportation array hidden inside."
Mei Shiqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Ling's meticulousness, and also added her own perspective at the opportune moment.
"Walk?"
"Walk."
The four of them exchanged a glance, all seeing the same thought in each other's eyes—
They had to go in with them.
That's right, the four of them abandoned their initial strategy and decided to go to the hidden teleportation array together.
Without further ado, they gradually arrived above the teleportation array. After everyone had been teleported, they instantly appeared at the entrance of the teleportation array, nodded in unison, and stepped into the teleportation array.
...
After a brief feeling of weightlessness, all four of them found their feet firmly planted on solid ground.
Those who were already there didn't show any particular expression when they saw that Ling and the others had taken so long to appear.
When passing through the teleportation array, everyone's experience is different. Some people even feel dizzy for a long time before they come out. Therefore, the appearance of Zero Four did not arouse any suspicion.
Moreover, today happens to be the day for recruiting disciples, so it's not surprising that four new faces suddenly appeared.
In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this place a forest.
It is surrounded by trees, lush vegetation, and vibrant greenery.
If Zero and his group initially thought that there would be at least an open space before entering, even if it wasn't a building, they were still surprised by what they found inside.
Before they could even properly admire it, a voice suddenly rang out—
"New disciples, please gather here."
The four exchanged glances and nodded to each other. They stopped looking around and followed the newcomers toward the source of the sound.
"The rest of you shall go to the Phantom Forest for training!"
The person who spoke first continued.
Upon hearing this, the remaining people immediately stopped what they were doing, turned around in unison, and walked towards the jungle on the right...
After everyone had left, the man who had spoken earlier cleared his throat, a slight smile playing on his lips, and addressed the newly arrived disciples, whose eyes still gleamed with curiosity:
"Everyone, from this day forward, you will all become outer disciples of my Daoguang Sect. However, there is one thing I must clarify: those of you who have come here are not merely outer disciples, but rather prospective elite disciples secretly cultivated by our Daoguang Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves, their reactions a mixture of shock and disbelief, which eventually turned into delight.
Seeing this, the man did not immediately stop it.
"It seems this person is of high status. Those people are not just obeying him; notice their expressions—there's a hint of fear mixed with their respect. It seems the person in front of us isn't as kind as he appears."
Jiang Quan leaned close to Ling's ear and whispered something.
Ling nodded, agreeing with Jiang Quan's words.
After the crowd had been building up their emotions for a while, he suddenly said seriously:
"Of course, becoming an elite disciple is not an easy thing. Each of you needs to undergo rigorous training and pass the assessment. Only the top 500 will become elite disciples of my Daoguang Sect. The rest... will be eliminated!"
At this point, he suddenly revealed a strange smile:
"Of course, if you want to give up, you can leave, but... you know how you'll keep quiet after knowing all this...?"
Only the dead can't reveal secrets.
He didn't say what came next, but everyone knew.
They all shuddered, their expressions shifting from initial excitement to fear as they stared at the man…
