Chapter 119 Joining the Zixiao Sect

Xiao Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man walking into the side hall. There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but he could not hide his excitement.

“Deputy sect leader?”

A slightly surprised whisper beside him caught Xiao Li’s attention.

“My name is Xiao Li.”

Xiao Li cupped his hands and became more cautious. He originally thought that an elder in charge of this matter would come to entertain him, but he did not expect that a deputy sect leader would come directly.

Being able to serve as the deputy leader of a Dou Zong-level sect, this person’s strength is self-evident. There is a 90% chance that he is at the peak of Dou Huang level, or even a Dou Zong powerhouse. This shows how much importance Zixiao Sect attaches to Xiao Li’s arrival.

Since the other party was very polite, Xiao Li naturally did not put on airs.

“I am the deputy leader of Zixiao Sect, Yan Li.”

Yan Li chuckled, “I learned that Brother Xiao was going to join our Zixiao Sect, so I rushed here immediately. I apologize for the poor hospitality.”

Xiao Li smiled and said, “Your Majesty’s etiquette is very appropriate. I am flattered.”

Afterwards, Yan Li confirmed Xiao Li’s strength. After some review, Xiao Li was determined to join Zixiao Sect and become the elder of the Mission Pavilion.

The two walked on the road, and Yan Li took Xiao Li to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Zixiao Sect.

“Is Elder Xiao from the outside world?”

Xiao Li nodded, “I came out of the Jia Ma Empire to travel. I heard about the Thunderstorm Canyon in the Liyou Empire, so I came here specifically to practice.”

Yan Li understood. They were not so hostile to outsiders. Even in Zhongzhou, there was no habit of rejecting outsiders. Everything was based on strength.

Looking at Xiao Li’s young face, Yan Li asked casually, “Elder Xiao is so young, but he has already reached the realm of Dou Wang. You can expect to become a Dou Zong in the future.”

“Master Yan, you are too kind. I just took a rejuvenation pill by chance. My real age is already forty-two.” Xiao Li concealed his age.

Yan Li did not ask any more questions and continued, “Since Elder Xiao came here for Thunderstorm Canyon, he probably wants to enter the restricted area. As long as Elder Xiao stays in the Mission Pavilion for two years, his contribution will be enough to enter the restricted area.”

“But…” Yan Li seemed to have thought of something and looked a little embarrassed.

“Because the number of disciples in the sect has decreased in recent years, some places have been released by the sect. If Elder Xiao is anxious, he can buy one.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was not too anxious, but instead asked about the number of disciples.

“Sect Master Yan, the disciples I have met along the way seem to be a little incompatible with the size of the sect.”

Hearing Xiao Li’s question, Yan Li couldn’t hide it, so he sighed and said, “It’s like this…”

After hearing what Yan Li said, Xiao Li suddenly understood.

A year ago, the Warcraft rioted under the suppression of Zixiao Sect. The strength of the high-level Dou Zong caused great casualties to Zixiao Sect in a short period of time. In the end, it was the timely support of the masters of Liyou Empire that saved Zixiao Sect and the Warcraft was suppressed again.

Seeing a strange look on Xiao Li’s face, Yan Li quickly explained: “I didn’t mean to hide it. The monster has been severely injured and may not come out for decades, so I didn’t tell you.”

It is precisely because of the influence of the Warcraft that many people in the Liyou Empire are unwilling to join the Zixiao Sect. God knows when the Warcraft will appear again.

“Master Yan, you misunderstood. I’m just curious, why didn’t you kill the monster?” “This…” Having said that, Yan Li obviously hesitated.

“This matter involves the secrets of our sect. Sorry, I can’t answer it. You will know when you sit in my position one day.”

Yan Li smiled and changed the subject.

Only high-level officials above the deputy sect leader level can know?

Xiao Li frowned, somewhat puzzled, but did not delve into it further as his main purpose of coming here was still to obtain the strange thunder.

I learned from Yan Li that if I want to buy a spot in the restricted area, I need to exchange it for a fifth-grade item, two fifth-grade magic cores, or a fifth-grade pill, or other things of equal value.

It’s a pity that the magic core of the monster was absorbed by Xiao Li. There are fifth-grade elixirs, but they were left by Yao Lao to Xiao Li to save his life. It’s better to keep them as a trump card.

Zixiao Sect Mission Pavilion, Elders Meeting Room
The two elders have been waiting for a long time.

“Elder Ling, the sect has just informed us that a new elder has arrived. I wonder how strong he is,” Wang Changqing asked.

Ling Ruoxu rolled her eyes at him. She had the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance. Even though she was over 40, she still looked like a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, a jade-like face, eyebrows as black as indigo, and eyes as clear as spring water.

“How would I know…it seems to be coming.”

Wang Changqing was stunned, then he and Ling Ruoxu looked towards the door, and a handsome young man walked into the meeting room.

“Huh? Which disciple are you? Why have I never seen you before?” Wang Changqing frowned. This is the elders’ meeting room and ordinary disciples are not allowed to come in.

Before coming, Yan Li had already told Xiao Li the characteristics of the two elders, the male one was Wang Changqing.

She is wearing a gorgeous long dress, exquisite jewelry on her head, and has elegant manners. Although her face is stern, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a softness and tenderness in her bright eyes, and her voice is like the sound of nature, making people feel warm and kind. She is calm, decisive, yet wise, and can face many difficulties, and never forget to stick to her inner beliefs and principles. She is the female elder Ling Ruoxu.

Xiao Li still can’t forget Yan Li’s admiring expression. At first glance, he was an old man who was in love at the end of his life.

Well…it is very likely that it is unrequited love, because as far as Xiao Li knows, Yan Li is already married, and his wife is very fierce, because there is a very deep bite mark on his wrist, and judging by the size, it should be a woman.

“I am the new elder, Xiao Li, and I hope you can give me your guidance.”

As he spoke, Xiao Li released a strong breath, blocking Wang Changqing’s mouth which was about to question him.

The meeting went smoothly. We were no longer those ignorant youngsters. We all behaved in a measured way and were especially well aware of one truth.

Never offend a person before you know his background clearly.

Being careful and cautious is always the unchanging truth in the spiritual world.

The three of them then assigned the work, seven days a week, each person worked two days, and held a small meeting on Sunday to summarize. The salary was okay, but Xiao Li did not lack the money and resources, so he did not say much.

Xiao Li had just arrived and had no place to live, so he lived in the employee dormitory of Zixiaozong Co., Ltd. As one of the top 100 companies in the country, the dormitory for middle-level managers was quite good, and it was a small villa.

On one side of Xiao Li’s residence is the residence of the female elder Ling Ruoxu, and on the other side is the residence of a disciple. Wang Changqing said that this disciple is the descendant of an elder who died in battle a year ago. In order to take care of these disciples, the sect gave them better conditions and better resources as compensation.
