Inn.
Huai Ye held the Sound Transmission Stone, smiling, and said to everyone far away on Yunlan Mountain, "Honestly, Vast City is truly astonishing. Itâs easy to spot people from Four-star Giant Influence, like Sect Leaders and Vice Sect Leaders. Wow!"
Yun Liao on the other end chuckled softly and replied, "Since itâs the venue for the centennial grand meeting, having so many Four-star Giant Influences isnât surprising. Alright, Huai Ye, letâs end the chat here. I have something to discuss with the Sect Leader."
Huai Ye nodded.
Wen Ping was already nearby, and upon hearing Yun Liaoâs words, he immediately took out his own Sound Transmission Stone and connected it to Yun Liaoâs Sound Transmission Stone.
"Elder Yun, whatâs the matter?"
"Sect Leader, after Ying Zhao joined the sect, his overall cultivation progress has been excellent. For him, the various cultivation lands of our sect are like adding wings to a tiger. However, those strong individuals from the Scatter Inn have been waiting at the foot of Yunlan Mountain every day."
From Yun Liao and many eldersâ perspective, Scatter Inn isnât some minor influence and must be treated with due respect.
At the very least, we canât leave them out for too long.
Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.
Wen Ping suddenly realized, "I almost forgot about them."
Yun Liao continued, "Sect Leader, should I go to them?"
"No need. Thereâs actually nothing much to say; just ask if Scatter Inn is willing to become a vassal of the Immortal Sect for me?"
"Sect Leader, are you serious?"
Yun Liao was bewildered; after all, Scatter Inn is the second largest influence at Heaven and Earth Lake.
Although not as strong as the Hundred Sects Alliance, itâs not far behind.
The Sect Leaderâs words are truly remarkable!
Wen Ping said very seriously, "Do I sound like Iâm joking? Just ask them according to my words. If theyâre unwilling, then discuss the matter of becoming allies. Remember, itâs âthen discuss.â Donât show any intention of discussing becoming allies before they have refused to become a vassal of the Immortal Sect, because compared to allies, I more urgently want the Immortal Sect to have Scatter Inn as a vassal."
"Understood." Yun Liao nodded.
Though unsure why the Sect Leader has the confidence to do this, Yun Liao felt it was better to trust the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader seems to have never done anything without confidence.
Subjugate Scatter Inn as a vassal!
My goodness!
Is this perhaps the boldest idea at Heaven and Earth Lake in nearly a thousand years?
"Just like that... Oh, one thing Iâve been busy and forgot; you should visit Tingyu Pavilion every day. Iâll give you access permission to Tingyu Pavilion. There will be three seeds of the Undying Tree on the round table at the entrance every day. Take them to the Red-eyed Giant Apes."
"Understood."
"Elder Yun, go ahead and keep busy."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Wen Ping put down the Sound Transmission Stone and continued researching the group battle opponents.
Now knowing that the Immortal Sectâs team doesnât accept challenge invitations, Wen Ping could only start targeting battles in a farther combat zone. Teams in the farther combat zones surely have many who havenât heard of the Immortal Sect.
Just thinking about this, footsteps were heard outside the corridor.
"Sect Leader Wen, are you there?"
This was H Lanâs voice.
After a few days, H Lan has finally decided to show up.
Wen Ping responded, "I am."
H Lan was delighted and hastily pushed the door, entering the room with Lu Jiang and Lu Xue. H Lan was beaming, and upon seeing Wen Ping, his eyes squinted with joy, "Sect Leader Wen, you are truly incredible."
Wen Ping gave a gentle smile but didnât respond.
His prowess is something everyone at Heaven and Earth Lake knows about.
H Lan continued, "Iâve been extremely busy these days, but Lu Jiang and Lu Xue told me about these team matches. How amazing that your sectâs disciples can break through the barriers of realms and surpass realms to defeat Anomalous Profoundâitâs truly astounding!"
Wen Ping did not reply. Itâs not that he doesnât like hearing praise, but he just didnât want an exchange where both parties keep praising endlessly. Afterward, actually, neither knows which words were true and which were false.
If H Lan truly thinks the Immortal Sect is worthwhile, he should directly choose to join the Immortal Sect. Thereâs no need to listen to praising words said aloud.
Wen Ping shifted his focus and asked, "Master H Lan, has the Hundred Sects Alliance discovered that Iâve arrived at Vast City?"
Upon hearing this question, H Lan smiled wryly and said, "Not really. The Hundred Sects Alliance is currently busy with its matters from top to bottom; no one pays attention to you. Besides, no one would dare imagine that the Immortal Sect, after killing Situ Xiuneng, would participate in the rookie ranking tournament with such fanfare."
"Under the lamp, darkness... However, it should be soon. The more fame the Immortal Sect gains, the more attention it receives; soon someone will investigate the Immortal Sect. Master H Lan, arenât you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?"
Wen Pingâs words made H Lanâs expression pause.
Yes indeed!
The top ranks of the Hundred Sects Alliance noticing the Immortal Sect is only a matter of time.
By then, seeing his disciples mingling with the people of the Immortal Sect and him frequently meeting with the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, wouldnât it be directly defined as "the same group"?
"This..."
"Master H Lan, whatâs wrong with you?" Seeing H Lanâs frozen expression, Wen Ping knew that H Lan was troubled.
To be honest, H Lan is a Two Vortexes Divine Artisan.
His connections in the Xuanse Lake area are extremely vast, capable of moving from Xuanse Lake to serve in Vast City, indicating he has other backing. So whether heâs willing to stand on the side of the Immortal Sect or even join it is a difficult choice.
However...
However, Wen Ping just likes to push H Lan a little.
Give H Lan a bit of determination to join the Immortal Sect.
Donât look at it now, the Immortal Sect has two Divine Artisans, one of whom is a Three-Spin. The Sect, no matter who wants to create a Vortex Map, is very busy. But in the future? After a year, two years, even ten years, when the number of people increases, two will definitely be insufficient.
Moreover, Wen Ping wants to build a business specifically for selling Vortex Maps, requiring people to spend a lot of time making Vortex Maps.
After seeing the power of the Long Family and his fatherâs situation, the thoughts of rapidly developing and growing the Immortal Sect grew stronger in Wen Pingâs mind. And for the Immortal Sect to become a Super Sect, the root is people.
The stronger the people of the Immortal Sect, the stronger the Immortal Sect becomes, not the other way around.
This is also why Wen Ping is willing to give the modified Vortex Map to Huai Ye and the others.
If it were before, Wen Ping would not have been willing.
Even with money, he wouldnât be willing.
Let alone now when itâs just a bit affluent.
After a moment of silence in the room, H Lan suddenly spoke: "No matter, I will resign from the Hundred Sects Alliance tomorrow. If Sect Leader Wen does not look down on my limited talent, I am willing to join the Immortal Sect, and follow Sect Leader Wenâs lead for life. If Sect Leader Wen says to go east, I absolutely will not go west!"
To be honest, in the Hundred Sects Alliance, his prospects are bright.
Because he found a strong backer, even if he doesnât become a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan in the future, he can at least secure a good position within the Hundred Sects Alliance.
In contrast, joining the Immortal Sect carries some risk. However, thinking of his master, who rejected invitations from various Four-star Giant Influences, suddenly joining the Immortal Sect, there must be reasons his master could not refuse. At the same time, his master must also trust that the Immortal Sect will not vanish under the iron hooves of the Hundred Sects Allianceâs crusade.
"Welcome to the Immortal Sect." Before Wen Ping could speak to welcome him, he heard Huai Ye and the others behind him laughing and applauding.
Wen Ping followed with a smile: "Master H Lan, welcome to the Immortal Sect. Believe that with your joining, tomorrow the Immortal Sect will be even stronger."
Wen Ping also started applauding.
Seeing this, H Lan felt a bit awkwardly flattered and quickly said: "Sect Leader Wen overpraises me, I am unworthy... but will serve Sect Leader Wen loyally, fearless of any challenge."
After speaking, H Lan was suddenly very surprised.
His master was definitely right.
Despite having a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan in the sect, Wen Pingâs enthusiasm for the addition of a Two Vortexes Divine Artisan like himself showed a broader measure than many Four-star giantsâ sect leaders!
At least this proves that he followed the right person!
Wen Ping said: "Master H Lan, the matters of joining the sect and the arrangement of specific positions will be discussed after we return to the sect."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
H Lan nodded.
When to be assigned a position is a matter for later.
He believes Wen Ping will not let him stay in the Immortal Sect doing nothing.
H Lan suddenly remembered he had a question, "By the way, Sect Leader Wen, did Bainian Xiang of the Hidden Dragon Sect really join the Immortal Sect?"
Many people have been talking about this lately.
However, no one knew that the sect Bainian Xiang joined was the Immortal Sect, but H Lan was different; just hearing a few descriptions locked his target onto the Immortal Sect. Because since Zi Ran, who is his master, joined the Immortal Sect, there is no reason for the disciple Bainian Xiang not to join.
Wen Ping nodded, "Yes, indeed."
"I thought so!" Although he had already guessed, H Lan couldnât help showing a surprised expression, "It seems this time Bainian Xiangâs confrontation with the Xia Family should turn out safe and sound. With Sect Leader Wen imparting his skills, todayâs battle will definitely end with the Xia Family in retreat."
Even before Wen Ping could respond, Huai Ye and the others expressed their surprise.
"Did junior sister Bainian Xiang really clash with the Xia Family?"
"Master H Lan, when did it start?"
Wen Ping glanced at the three beside him, not annoyed by their sudden interruption, because there were no outsiders here and there was no point in putting on airs of being the sect leader. He asked, "What, you all want to go and see?"
