Just as Jia Wang thought he was done for, a soft “Huh?” suddenly drifted down from the void above.
Then, a conversation between two people could be heard:
“Huh... When did our sect master start an illegitimate sect?”
“You don't say... It really does look like one...”
The three Nascent Soul cultivators—Jia Wang and his opponents—who had been fighting to the death just a moment ago, froze in unison.
They had heard of illegitimate children, even illegitimate fans, but what on earth was an illegitimate sect?
While they were still bewildered, a terrifying pressure descended with a loud boom.
It was so heavy that the three Nascent Soul cultivators, including Jia Wang, could barely breathe.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Kaoshan Sect had it worst, instantly spitting out mouthfuls of blood from the sheer weight of it.
Not only them, but the low-tier cultivators fighting below were pinned to the ground, unable to budge.
The injured Nascent Soul cultivators from the Kaoshan Sect couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
They cursed their luck, thinking they must have forgotten to check the almanac before heading out; today was clearly going to end badly.
Sure enough, at that moment, they saw three Soul Transformation stage cultivators wearing bandit hoods descending from the sky.
Seeing those hoods, which were identical to the ones worn by the Bandit Sect, the faces of the Kaoshan Sect members instantly drained of color.
They were completely doomed; they had kicked a steel plate this time.
At the same time, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts. With so many Soul Transformation big shots, why did they have to establish their sect in this remote, backwater place? Isn't this just bullying?
Meanwhile, Jia Wang and his people were filled with joy at the sight of the trio. Their backing had arrived!
Though they didn't recognize the three, their iconic bandit hoods made it obvious they were on the same side.
The newcomers were none other than Wang Defa, Xue Wuchang, and the female cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect.
Back when they encountered the storm, Wang Defa and Xue Wuchang had watched Lu Ming and the others get swept away. The storm's power was so immense that they had been completely powerless to help.
Shortly after, they were also swept away by the storm, and the female cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect had accidentally saved Xue Wuchang.
From that day onward, Feng Qingqing, the female cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect, insisted that Xue Wuchang dedicate his life and body to her to repay the life-saving debt.
Xue Wuchang was unyielding, swearing he would rather die than leave the Heavenly Demon Sect to marry into the Joyous Union Sect.
Yet, for the sake of love, Feng Qingqing directly left the Joyous Union Sect, determined to marry into the Heavenly Demon Sect instead.
Even though Xue Wuchang still refused, Feng Qingqing completely clung to him.
Her stance was simple: she saved his life, so he had to give himself to her.
Xue Wuchang was entirely helpless against her shameless behavior. After all, she was his savior.
Thus, from that day on, Feng Qingqing also considered herself a cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Wang Defa was more than happy to see this happen. After all, having another Soul Transformation cultivator in the sect was a great thing.
They had braved countless dangers along the way before finally arriving in the Central Province.
While passing through East Sea County, which was quite a remote area, they actually spotted statues of Lu Ming and Big Yellow.
Even though the two men and the dog were all wearing hoods, their unique headwear and showy poses allowed Wang Defa and the others to recognize them instantly.
However, they also saw that Jia Wang and his people were on the verge of defeat.
That wouldn't do! These were clearly their own little brothers!
Thus, the three of them immediately revealed themselves.
The moment Jia Wang saw Wang Defa and the other two, he immediately lunged forward and hugged Wang Defa's leg, wailing, “Waaaah... Elders! We're being bullied! They want to destroy our Bandit Sect!”
From their conversation earlier, Jia Wang had guessed that since they also referred to the three sect masters as “Sect Master,” they must be on the same side. Since they were allies and Soul Transformation powerhouses, they had to be sect elders.
These words instantly frightened the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Kaoshan Sect out of their wits.
“Seniors, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!” One of the Nascent Soul cultivators wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hastily cried out.
“A misunderstanding? You've attacked our sect, and you call it a misunderstanding?!” Jia Wang retorted the moment the Nascent Soul cultivator finished speaking.
At this moment, Wang Defa and Xue Wuchang were startled by Jia Wang's address.
“Old Wang, he's calling us elders. What do we do?” Xue Wuchang hurriedly sent a sound transmission.
After all, the Qingshan Sect already had their own Grand Elder and others. What kind of elders were they?
If the Sect Master found out about this, they would definitely be subjected to sect punishment.
The thought of Lu Ming's little lightning whip left Xue Wuchang with lingering fear.
Wang Defa pondered for a moment before transmitting back, “Let's just go along with it for now. We can have the Grand Elder and the others promoted to Supreme Elders later...”
After all, with new members joining, it was clearly no longer appropriate for them to remain as mere disciples!
Only after hearing Wang Defa's words did Xue Wuchang nod.
Following that, Wang Defa looked at the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Kaoshan Sect.
“We don't care about any misunderstandings. Since you've bullied your way to our doorstep, you must pay the price.”
With that, Wang Defa raised his hand and directly obliterated the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
With Wang Defa and the others backing them, Jia Wang and his people easily took over the Kaoshan Sect.
And with that, they firmly established their footing in this region.
Once everything had stabilized, Wang Defa and the others prepared to depart.
As for how Jia Wang and the others would develop, they didn't care to manage it.
From what Jia Wang and the others had told them, they understood that this really was an “illegitimate sect” that hadn't gone through any official procedures.
Since the Sect Master wasn't managing it, they wouldn't either. They would just let it grow wild!
Of course, if the sect ever ran into trouble, they would still step in to help.
Before leaving, Wang Defa set up a protective array for the Bandit Sect.
He also left behind some Soul Transformation-grade talismans, along with some pills and other resources.
While handing over the items, Wang Defa suddenly realized why Lu Ming and the others had run away.
They must have been scared off! After all, supporting this many people was incredibly expensive!
However, to Wang Defa's surprise, Jia Wang and the others also handed over a portion of spirit stones.
Since they had just taken over the resources of the Kaoshan Sect, they were quite wealthy.
And they would continue to have a steady stream of income in the future.
Shortly after, Wang Defa and the others left the area, flying all the way toward Tiansheng County in the Central Province.
And the Tiansheng Sect was located right in Tiansheng County.
