Chapter 3879: Two In a Day

Although the Flying Dragon Sect had simplified the process of recruitment during the Imperial War, they were still cautious about the people they recruited. They were worried that some people would take advantage of the situation to cause trouble in the sect.

The first few rudimentary Lords of Gods who joined the Flying Dragon Sect were led to the designated cultivation ground by an inner elder after they entered the sect’s estate. The inner elder was assigned to them to prevent them from wandering off or causing trouble.

Golden Dragon Elders would also take turns patrolling the designated cultivation ground to prevent the new recruits from causing trouble.

At this moment, the aloof intermediate Lord of Gods, Yan Zhe, whose origin was unknown, had already entered the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate. It did not take long before a White Dragon Elder appeared to bring him to the cultivation ground.

Coincidentally, the White Dragon Elder, who had been tasked to bring Yan Zhe to the cultivation ground, was Dongfang Yan Nian.

Dongfang Yan Nian came out from the Imperial War Realm two days ago. As soon as he returned, he could not wait to meet Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian to ask about what had happened. Although he had been in the Imperial War Realm over the past year, he had heard that a lot had happened in the sect.

Dongfang Yan Nian heard that Xue Hai Chuan entered the Lord Battlefield and killed an Underworld Elder from the Tai Yi Sect, making Xue Hai Chuan the first and only person to have killed an Underworld Elder so far. He also heard about Kuang Tian Zheng’s assassination attempt, and how Kuang Tian Zheng failed to kill Duan Ling Tian despite attacking thrice since Duan Ling Tian had become a Lord of Gods. Naturally, he also heard that Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Lord of Gods, but his strength was almost on par with an intermediate Lord of Gods.

‘So many things happened in the sect while I was away. Little Tian became a Lord of Gods, and Hai Chuan killed an Underworld Elder on the Lord Battlefield…’

Before returning to the Flying Dragon Sect, he had sent messages to Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian to confirm that the duo was in the sect’s estate. He could not wait to speak to the duo and discussed what happened. However, before he returned, he heard another piece of news. He heard that Duan Ling Tian killed two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect during his first visit to the Lord Battlefield. Apparently, the two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect were fighting to the death and were seriously injured, allowing Duan Ling Tian to take advantage of the situation and kill them in their weakened state.

Dongfang Yan Nian had lamented his luck when he heard about what happened. He had wandered the Lord Battlefield with his wife and did not get to kill too many people. In the end, he only managed to kill a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Even then, he only got to do so because his wife was too lazy to deal with the opponent.

When Dongfang Yan Nian finally returned to the sect, before he could look for Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian, he was told by a Black Dragon Elder asking him to escort a new recruit to the designated cultivation ground. In fact, he was conversing with the Black Dragon Elder through Voice Transmission regarding other matters. Coincidentally, a new recruit had just joined the sect so the Black Dragon Elder seized the chance and asked for Dongfang Yan Nian’s help.

Dongfang Yan Nian smiled and Yan Zhe and introduced himself, “Hello, I’m a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, Dongfang Yan Nian.”

The aloof Yan Zhe remained indifferent to Dongfang Yan Nian’s friendly introduction. When his eyes landed on the life-like white dragon on the token hanging at Dongfang Yan Nian’s waist, his eyes widened imperceptibly. Then, he said expressionlessly, “I’m Yan Zhe.”

Dongfang Yan Nian did not care about Yan Zhe’s indifference. As an intermediate Lord of Gods, it was normal that Yan Zhe was a little arrogant. Moreover, he could tell that Yan Zhe was not deliberately being arrogant; Yan Zhe’s personality was just cold.

“I’ll lead you to the designated cultivation ground. Please follow me.”

Yan Zhe did not reply, and he only followed closely behind Dongfang Yan Nian.

During the journey, Dongfang Yan Nian asked with a smile, “Brother Yan Zhe, you’re still quite far from becoming an advanced Lord of Gods. Did you join the sect hoping to improve your strength in the Imperial War Realm?”

Yan Zhe did not respond immediately. However, when he saw the slight frown on Dongfang Yan Nian’s face, he finally said, “I came here to kill people from the Tai Yi Sect.”

Dongfang Yan Nian’s eyes lit up. “Do you have a grudge against the Tai Yi Sect?”

Dongfang Yan Nian had been questioning Yan Zhe’s motive for joining the Flying Dragon Sect since Yan Zhe was still quite a distance away from becoming an advanced Lord of Gods. This meant that the Imperial War would not help Yan Zhe to break through. With that, he was worried Yan Zhe might not take killing those from the Tai Yi Sect seriously. Hence, when he heard Yan Zhe’s reply, he was delighted.

As a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, Dongfang Yan Nian naturally hoped that the Flying Dragon Sect would gain the upper hand and emerge victorious from the Imperial War. Hence, he did not hold back and did all he could to kill the opponents when he was on the Lord Battlefield. He hoped to kill as many Lords of Gods as possible to lessen the pressure on his comrades.

Yan Zhe nodded and said curtly, “Yes.”

Due to Yan Zhe’s grudge against the Tai Yi Sect, Dongfang Yan Nian was more relaxed, and he was also more tolerant when faced with Yan Zhe’s indifference and cold reception.

When Dongfang Yan Nian arrived at the cultivation ground, he said to the Black Elder Dragon on duty, “Elder Lan, you sent me on a task as soon as I returned. Don’t you think you’re too mean to me?”

The Black Dragon Elder was Lan Yu Shan, Dongfang Yan Nian’s superior. He was also the host of the latest Latent Dragon Grand Contest that Duan Ling Tian participated in in the past.

“I happened to be speaking to you at that time, and coincidentally, you just returned to the sect. With that, I can only ask for your help…” Lan Yu Shan said with a smile, “Brat, you can only blame yourself for returning at the wrong time.”

Dongfang Yan Nian chuckled and rolled his eyes at Lan Yu Shan’s response before he turned to look behind him and said, “Elder Lan, this is the new recruit. Now that I’ve completed my task, I’m going to take my leave first.”

Without waiting for Lan Yu Shan to speak, Dongfang Yan Nian looked at Yan Zhe and said with a smile, “Yan Zhe, I hope to receive news about you killing people from the Tai Yi Sect on the Lord Battlefield soon! Good luck!”

With that, Dongfang Yan Nian turned and walked away. After that, he immediately made his way to Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground. When he heard that Duan Ling Tian was also there, he was naturally delighted that the two people he wanted to see were together. Before he arrived, he sent a message to his wife.

“I’m already in the sect’s estate. I’m going to chat with Little Tian and Hai Chuan now.”

Ouyang Xue Li, Dongfang Yan Nian’s wife, replied happily, “Alright. Don’t bully Little Tian. Don’t forget that he’s the reason I was able to mend my Heavenly Veins in such a short time.”

Dongfang Yan Nian felt like crying when he heard his wife’s words. Although it was true that Duan Ling Tian refined the Limit Divine Pills that healed her, he exchanged for them with his own contribution points! Nonetheless, he did not say these words to his wife.

…

When Dongfang Yan Nian arrived, Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian were already waiting for him in the front courtyard. He had informed Xue Hai Chuan about his visit earlier.

Xue Hai Chuan said teasingly as soon as he saw Dongfang Yan Nian, “What took you so long? Let me guess. You had to report to your wife first, right?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Dongfang Yan Nian in surprise. He did know that Dongfang Yan Nian was afraid of his wife.

“Little Tian, don’t listen to Hai Chuan’s nonsense! I’m the head of the family so my wife listens to me a lot…” Dongfang Yan Nian said to Duan Ling Tian with a smile. Alas, he could tell from Duan Ling Tian’s expression that Duan Ling Tian did not believe him. Hence, he quickly changed the topic and said, “I was going to visit as soon as I returned, but Elder Lan asked me to help him with something.”

Xue Hai Chuan said, “Eldre Lan gave you a task as soon as you returned? When did Elder Lan become so inconsiderate toward his subordinates?”

“It’s not like that. I just so happened to be talking to him at that time, and I also arrived at the right time. At that time, Elder Lan received a message from the Black Dragon Elder in charge of recruitment. They needed someone to lead a new recruit to the cultivation ground so Elder Lan asked for my help,” Dongfang Yan Nian explained.

“You were asked to show the way for a new recruit?” Xue Hai Chuan’s expression turned solemn as he asked, “This means that the new recruit is an intermediate Lord of Gods, right?”

Since a White Dragon Elder was tasked to lead the new recruit to the designated cultivation ground, it could only mean that the new recruit was an intermediate Lord of Gods. Rudimentary Lords of Gods were all led by inner elders.

“An intermediate Lord of Gods?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Dongfang Yan Nian curiously.

“That’s right,” Dongfang Yan Nian said with a nod, “He’s quite aloof and taciturn. However, I turned a blind eye to his attitude earlier since I found out that he has a grudge against the Tai Yi Sect. His goal of joining the sect is so that he can kill people from the Tai Yi Sect.”

At this moment, Dongfang Yan Nian suddenly stopped talking as he raised his head to look at the sky. His expression turned solemn as well.

“What’s wrong?”

Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian looked at Dongfang Yan Nian curiously.

Dongfang Yan Nian looked at the duo and said with a hint of disbelief, “Another person just joined our sect, and he’s also an intermediate Lord of Gods.”

Since the Imperial War began, the Flying Dragon Sect did not manage to recruit any intermediate Lords of Gods until today. To think, two intermediate Lords of Gods would join the sect consecutively.
