Zu An's heart sank; it seemed that the two women had indeed gotten into trouble.
However, based on the information available so far, this incident likely occurred on a small scale and was not known to most of the believers.
From this perspective, it seems more like an internal strife at the highest levels?
Zu'an asked him for some more information, but unfortunately, Fatty Hu didn't know much either. Fearing that the other party would become suspicious, he didn't keep pressing for details.
At this moment, Fatty Hu handed him a jade token: "Brother Lu, take this and wait at the dock next to the town after nightfall."
"What is this?" Zuan looked at the jade tablet in his hand and felt faint fluctuations of runes on it, but they were all relatively simple.
“This is the identity jade token for those who have successfully joined the Holy Sect. You’ll need this to board the ship. The recruitment of disciples isn’t over yet, so you can wander around and have some fun. Let’s see if we can still fool people… cough cough, recruit a few more disciples.” Fatty Hu immediately changed his tune.
Zuan: "..."
He also wanted to inquire about other places, so he cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.
He wandered around the hall, making a rough memorization of the disciples from various schools of thought.
It's clear that the Extinction of Emotions Path and the Yin-Yang Sect are the most powerful, with the most disciples present and their cultivation levels relatively higher.
The other factions are inferior in both cultivation level and number of members.
Besides the Tomb Raiders, the most miserable were the Rift Heaven Sect, which also had only one disciple in charge of recruitment, and that person's cultivation was much worse than Fatty Hu's, so almost no one went to him.
It seems that the splitting off of the Shadow Pavilion has indeed severely weakened the Rift Heaven Sect...
Suddenly his gaze sharpened as he noticed a young man in black walking towards the banner of the Rift Heaven Sect, seemingly intending to join the sect.
His skin was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for years, and his whole being was like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and incomparable. Although he had some artifacts on his body to conceal his cultivation and aura, how could they hide it from Zu'an now?
This young man in black is incredibly strong!
He is stronger than several of the direct disciples in this hall, such as Fang Biao of the Yin-Yang Path, Senior Sister Pan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and Fatty Hu of the Tomb Raider Path. Only Li Feiqing of the Carefree Path might be qualified to fight him.
With such strong cultivation, how could someone apply for a position as a disciple of a demonic sect?
Despite his doubts, Zuan did not linger. Although the boy was strong, he was only considered one of the best among his peers. Compared to the top experts of all ages that he had encountered, he was still somewhat lacking.
He left the hall and walked to the dock next to the town. Logically speaking, there should be streams or rivers in such high mountains, and the water flow would often be quite rapid. But in front of him was a large river, which looked quite wide.
Zuan examined it carefully and realized that it wasn't drawn by the carefree Venerable, but was actually real.
Could the legendary Qiu Chi be located by the river?
Or perhaps it's in this great river?
As I was pondering this, I suddenly heard the sounds of chasing and fighting coming from not far away.
Zu An turned around and saw that it was Fang Biao from the Yin Yang Dao and several of his men who were surrounding and capturing Zhang Zitong.
Seeing Zhang Zitong's embarrassed and flustered appearance, Zu An frowned. How did this woman manage to become a silver-ranked embroidered robe in the first place?
In the blink of an eye, the group arrived in front of them after a chase. Although the place was remote, there were still some people there, all looking over with curiosity.
A disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect glared at those around him and said, "If you don't want to die, get lost when the Third Young Master of the Yin-Yang Sect is handling this!"
Those who had originally wanted to watch the show immediately changed their expressions. Everyone here knew the infamous reputation of the Yin-Yang Path, especially this Third Young Master, who was notorious for bullying men and women and acting recklessly. Fearing that they would offend the Yin-Yang Path, the others dared not watch the show here and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the end, Zaun was left standing there alone, which looked quite out of place.
At this moment, Fang Biao was already slowly approaching this side, fanning himself with his fan. His eyes were sizing up Zhang Zitong, and his face was full of lewdness: "As expected of long legs, you can run so fast. If it weren't for this river blocking the way, it wouldn't be so easy for us to catch up with you."
"I am from the Heaven and Earth Sect. Aren't you afraid of offending the Heaven and Earth Sect by doing this? You all leave immediately, and I can pretend that nothing happened today." Zhang Zitong was panting heavily, her chest heaving rapidly, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, making her look very hot.
Fang Biao laughed: "It seems you haven't completed the Heaven and Earth Sect's assessment yet, so you're not a true disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Besides, even if you were a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect, I'm going to take you today. Do you think the Heaven and Earth Sect would make an enemy of my father for a mere female disciple like you?"
Zhang Zitong's heart sank; it seemed there was no way things would end well today.
At this moment, the two henchmen saw Zu An standing to the side: "Young Master Biao, it's that kid again. These two might be having an affair."
Hearing this, Fang Biao's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Zu An: "You brat, I just spared your life in the main hall, but you insisted on courting death by getting close to her."
Anger from Fang Biao: +44 +44 +44...
At this moment, Zhang Zitong also saw Zu An clearly and couldn't help but feel apologetic: "You go quickly, I'll help you stop them!"
Zuan sighed: "I told you I couldn't team up with you, it would definitely cause all sorts of trouble, and now it seems that's exactly what happened."
Zhang Zitong's face flushed, but she quickly said, "What's the use of saying all this now? I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I won't drag you into this. Let's go!"
"Looks like they really do have something going on," Fang Biao sneered. "Then we can't let this kid leave even more."
