Qin Gengyun's words immediately stunned countless cultivators below.

When these people saw Chen Qingmo's giant sword falling towards Qinglian Mountain, they immediately stopped queuing and retreated one after another, fearing that the Qinlian Sect would not be able to stop Chen Qingmo and they would be liquidated by the Zhenyang Sect.

After Chen Qingmo left, these people immediately squeezed forward to line up for testing their spiritual roots, and some even pushed away the independent cultivators who had been queuing.

At this moment, they suddenly heard Qin Gengyun say that he would no longer recruit disciples. These people were dumbfounded and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Didn't you just invite all monks in the world to join?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"How can such a big sect go back on its word?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and continued, "Don't worry, everyone. What I mean is that we will accept all those who have been waiting in line for the spiritual root test."

"As for the other fellow Taoists, it seems that you have no chance to join our Qinlian Sect. I am deeply sorry for that. Please go back."

The many monks below looked at each other, and those who had been swaying back and forth just now all had ugly expressions.

Qin Gengyun's meaning was very clear. We only want those who truly want to join the Qin Lian Sect, and you fence-sitters should stay away from it.

"Fuck, isn't this bullying?"

"No, Master Qin, I really admire the Qin Lian Sect, please accept me!"

"I just had to go to the bathroom, I'm not being two-faced!"

There was a sudden commotion at the foot of Qinglian Mountain. Some people were cursing, some were begging, and it was extremely noisy for a while.

"snort."

A cold snort was heard, instantly drowning out the noise of tens of thousands of monks.

The noisy monks suddenly turned pale, shut their mouths immediately, and looked at the tall and cold figure above them in fear.

This is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect who has killed countless people. Even though she is married now and seems to be a lot gentler, her gentleness is probably only towards her husband.

If anyone else dares to act arrogantly in front of her, the consequences will be self-evident.

Soon, the fence-sitters left quietly.

There were less than two thousand people left out of tens of thousands. When Chen Qingmo attacked, these people stood firmly in front of the Qinlian Sect's spiritual root testing bench. It was obvious that they really identified with the Qinlian Sect from the bottom of their hearts.

Rather than those fence-sitters who change their views according to the wind.

High in the sky, Xia Qinglian gently held Qin Gengyun's arm, and the two of them flew back to the top of Qinglian Mountain in a graceful manner. Where people below could not see, Qin Gengyun suddenly sat down on the ground with a pale face.

"Uncle! Are you okay?"

“Brother Qin!”

“Uncle Qin!”

"Owner!"

Liusu, Yunwu, Fangxue, Tianhuangnu and others all ran over. Liusu's hazy spiritual eyes appeared on her head, and she was about to heal Qin Gengyun.

Qin Gengyun waved his hand and said, "Don't let anyone know that I'm injured. Let's talk about it after today's disciple recruitment is over."

Liusu was anxious: "I knew it, you are just showing off! Miss, you are really something, how can you be so confident?"

The little girl was so anxious that she even complained to Xia Qinglian. Fang Xue pulled her and said, "Sister Susu, don't say that. Master loves Uncle Qin the most."

"Hmph!" Liusu pouted and snorted, obviously still very worried.

Xia Qinglian knocked her head and said, "I was injured, but you were not so anxious."

"That's different. Miss, you are so powerful, and the son-in-law is so weak. It's easy for him to be beaten to death."

Liusu replied awkwardly, and Qin Gengyun was speechless: "Susu, am I so weak in your heart?"

Xue Wen stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master, Saint, you shouldn't have chased so many people away. Tens of thousands of people came, but less than 2,000 are left. The Zhenyang Sect has more than 20,000 people!"

Qin Gengyun stood up with the help of Xia Qinglian and said with a smile: "Elder Wu, what we want are truly loyal disciples, not those who turn around and betray the sect when disaster strikes. Otherwise, even if there are many people, there will be no cohesion."

Xue Wen shouted, "You've never been a leader, so what do you know? We can drive those disloyal ones to be cannon fodder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold air surged out from the side, and Xia Qinglian's expression became cold.

Xue Wu said quickly: "My brother is too straightforward and doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive me, Master!"

"I just think he can't be the head..."

"Uncle Xue!"

Xue Wen was getting angry and was about to say something when an angry voice sounded behind him. He paused and turned to look at Liu Xiaotang.

Liu Xiaotang walked up to him and said angrily:

"Brother Qin just blocked the giant sword and saved Qinglian Mountain. If you go up there, can you block it?"

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Master, Brother Qin, and everyone else are working hard for the Qin Lian Sect, but you are targeting Brother Qin for your own selfish reasons. I thought you were a great cultivator, but it turns out you are not as good as a child like me!"

"You, you...are a traitor!"

The burly Xue Wen was scolded by Liu Xiaotang and his face turned red with anger, but surprisingly he did not use violence. He pointed at Liu Xiaotang and stammered.

"If Master Uncle does something wrong, I should point it out. Otherwise, everything Master Uncle teaches me is wrong. What should I do if I am as petty as you?"

"You, I..."

Xue Wen was so angry that he became incoherent and turned away.

"elder brother!"

Xue Wu wants to chase him.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry. I'll go."

Liu Xiaotang has already caught up.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Qin Gengyun found it somewhat amusing: "So Xue Wen's nemesis is Xiao Tang?"

"Stop laughing, uncle. Sit down and take a rest."

Liusu saw that he looked pale and said with concern.

Xia Qinglian turned to look at Mo Xiaolan, only to see her standing far away, with a look of concern on her face, but she did not come forward.

Helping Qin Gengyun to sit aside, Xia Qinglian walked to Mo Xiaolan's side:

"Why don't you come and see him?"

Noila Mo smiled and said, “You’re all here, I’m not worried.”

"Who was so worried that he almost bit his lip?"

"I……"

Mo Xiaolan lowered her head.

Xia Qinglian looked at her and said nothing more. The two women stood on the top of the mountain and looked down.

The remaining monks are testing their spiritual roots one after another and then registering to join the sect.

"Sister Xia, how much spiritual power do you have left?"

Mo Xiaolan suddenly spoke.

Xia Qinglian said calmly: "You also figured it out?"

Noila Mo nodded: "If your strength was intact, you wouldn't have let Qin Gengyun take action just now."

Xia Qinglian said: "There is still 70% left."

She stroked her belly and said, "When the baby is born, my spiritual power will be less than 20% left. It will take a long time to recover slowly."

Noila Mo was silent for a moment, then said, “We will protect you.”

Xia Qinglian looked at her, and a smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face: "Xiaolan, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be him today, and there wouldn't be me today."

"elder sister……"

At this time, a disciple came to report:

"Saint, three people have come up the mountain and said they want to see the Goddess."
