"Have you thought this through? Are you really willing to be my disciple?" Elder Biluo still seemed a bit dazed at this moment.

"Disciple has thought it over. The words of the Master just now—'The immortal way is heartless, but people are deeply affectionate'—deeply moved me. As long as Master gives the word, I am willing to go through fire and water for you. From now on, Master, you will be like my rebirth parents. I will listen carefully to your teachings and make great achievements on the path of immortality to repay you. Disciple has decided to serve Master well, and, oh, this Senior Sister too..." Zhuge Buliang skillfully talked non-stop.

Standing not far away, Elder Ge gave a thumbs up: "Good rhetoric..."

To be able to hide one's dirty thoughts with just a few words is a skill not everyone possesses, and Elder Ge had to admire him for it.

"You... you may get up now. From now on, you will be my disciple," Elder Biluo said, helping Zhuge Buliang up with a knowing smile.

Zhuge Buliang bowed deeply to Elder Biluo and then turned to the side of the woman in white, smiling, "Hello, Senior Sister, my name is Zhuge Buliang. May I ask for your name? Senior Sister, you are truly as beautiful as a flower. If you ever need anything from little brother, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water for you..."

"Ugh, you're using the same lines again..." Su Nianjiao, standing next to Zhuge Buliang, gave him a disdainful look.

The woman in white frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, not speaking further.

"Rumble!!"

At that moment, the仙岛 (Xian Island) of the Yaohai Sect suddenly trembled, as if the golden palace was shaking. A massive sense of oppression descended, and the faces of several elders in the great hall changed. Zhuge Buliang looked around foolishly: "What's going on? Is there an earthquake? RB just had one and now another? Haven't had time to congratulate RB yet~~~"

At this moment, a disciple of the Yaohai Sect rushed in breathlessly and said, "Sect Master, Elder, it's bad! People from the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Thousand Demons City have arrived!!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their expressions. Zhuge Buliang understood; it seemed like someone had come to challenge them. He obediently stood behind Elder Biluo and said to the woman in white, "Senior Sister, don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"

The woman in white: "..."

The sect master's face changed. "The Hundred Flowers Palace is really ungrateful, even calling in the Thousand Demons City! Do they think the Yaohai Sect is easy to bully?!"

"What's going on?" Elder Biluo asked with a serious expression.

Elder Ge said, "Elder Biluo, you were in seclusion recently, so you don't know about this. Three months ago, I led the disciples of the Yaohai Sect on a mission and discovered a divine fruit together with people from the Hundred Flowers Palace. The Hundred Flowers Palace was too arrogant and wanted to compete with us for it. I used strong measures to drive them away and brought the divine fruit back!"

Elder Biluo's brow involuntarily furrowed upon hearing this.

"Yaohai Sect members, stop hiding and come out quickly!"

A charming voice rang out in the great hall, sweet and melodious, as if the owner of the voice was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

The sect master and Elder Ge flew out of the great hall like phantoms, followed by Elder Ge and the previously silent elder.

"Meng Li, keep an eye on him! Stay in the great hall and don't go out!" Elder Biluo called to the woman in white and then flew out.

Zhuge Buliang looked at Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Muxian. The former clearly ignored him and stretched his head out to look outside. Li Yuanfei and Su Nianjiao also stayed in the great hall with worried expressions.

"Such a big scene!" Zhuge Buliang thought excitedly. He hadn't expected to witness a challenge so soon after joining. It would be great if both sides fought so he could observe the combat between these immortal cultivators.

With that thought, Zhuge Buliang looked around and decided to follow and watch the commotion outside.

"Hey, you..." The white-clad woman's face changed suddenly. She wanted to grab Zhuge Liang but, due to her dislike for him, she instinctively withdrew her hand and could only watch helplessly as Zhuge Liang ran outside.

"He's gone mad!" Su Nianjiao exclaimed in alarm. With the forces from the Thousand Demons City and the Hundred Flowers Palace invading, a conflict with the elders of the Yao Hai Sect seemed inevitable. Even disciples like herself dared not step into the fray, yet Zhuge Liang, having just entered the sect and possessing no cultivation, had run off to watch the commotion.

There really are people in this world who dare to watch a funeral without fearing the consequences.

Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Muyan exchanged glances. Zhuge Ming whispered, "Such reckless behavior. It's best if they engage in a fight and drag him into it. This waste of a person doesn't deserve to taint the way of immortality!"

Zhuge Liang arrived outside the great hall and gazed up at the sky. At this moment, several figures hovered in the air. On one side were the elders of the Yao Hai Sect, led by their sect master.

On the other side were five or six people, standing in the air like immortals.

Among them was a woman in a red robe, with an exquisitely delicate face, charming and seductive. Her smoky eyebrows and phoenix eyes added to her allure. The red robe clung to her curvaceous figure, with a slim waist and a round, full bottom. Her long, white legs created enticing curves, and her ample bosom seemed almost too much for the robe to contain.

Such was the beauty of this woman.

Behind her stood a young man whose face was pale but still handsome, almost feminine in appearance. The young man also had a hint of charm on his face, which made others want to retch.

Aside from a distinguished old man in black robes, the rest of the group was rather unremarkable.

"To make such a fuss over a mere divine fruit, and even invite the Thousand Demons City's friend, it seems the Hundred Flowers Palace is really giving us Yao Hai Sect a lot of face," the Yao Hai Sect Master said with a calm tone, standing in the air with his hands clasped behind his back.

The seductive and enchanting woman, who introduced herself as Xiang Yifei, spoke angrily but still with an enticing voice. "This isn't just about the divine fruit. Your Yao Hai Sect has killed several of my Hundred Flowers Palace disciples. You need to give me an explanation. I, Xiang Yifei, though just a woman in this vast cultivation world, must call upon the Thousand Demons City's friends to be fair and just."

Although Xiang Yifei's words were filled with anger, her voice remained as alluring as ever.

"Indeed, it is appropriate. Among the major cultivation factions in the Nine Regions, who doesn't know of the close relationship between your Hundred Flowers Palace and the Thousand Demons City!" Elder Ge said with a smile, though his words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

The Hundred Flowers Palace was renowned for producing exquisite women who practiced enchanting arts. Five thousand years ago, during the split between righteous and demonic paths, both the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Thousand Demons City were part of the demonic path. Additionally, many disciples from the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Thousand Demons City were partners, sharing a close bond.

Xiang Yifei spoke sharply, "You Yao Hai Sect are using your power to kill our Hundred Flowers Palace disciples. Unless you compensate with that divine fruit today, the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Thousand Demons City will not let this go!"

"Are you threatening us?" The Yao Hai Sect Master suddenly shouted. His robe fluttered without wind, and his moon-white garment made him appear almost like an immortal. The surging true essence created a thunderous roar in the high sky.
