Chapter 632: Song Yahui's invitation
It wasn't just Liu Mei, as Xie Xingyi, Bai Longtian, and Jiang Chen, were now all staring coldly at this expert of the top 1000 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor in front of them.
Song Yahui was surprised, as he turned his gaze towards Liu Mei, but a moment later, he actually smiled and cupped his hands at her before he said in a much warmer voice
''You must be junior sister Liu Mei. I heard that you are Elder Xuan's personal disciple. I have nothing against you. I am simply surprised that all of you would willingly follow that Shun Long. You should know that for someone like you, even factions in the top 100 rankings would be happy to accept you.''
Song Yahui then turned his gaze towards Jiang Chen, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian, and nodded his head as he continued
''This goes for the rest of you as well. As long you want it, I can formally accept all of you in my faction today actually.
You should understand the difference between a faction at the top 100 rankings vs a faction at the top 1000.
You have only entered the top 1000 faction rankings a month ago. No matter how hard you try, you will need more than a few years until you have a chance to challenge the top 100 factions of the sect.
Joining a faction at the top 100 rankings right now will give you enough resources which will allow you to get stronger even faster.''
Song Yahui stared at Liu Mei and the rest with a smile on his face as he waited for their answer, but it was obvious that he hadn't heard of the faction war between Shun Long's and Peng Chao's faction earlier today. Naturally, what he had said just now was also true.
Joining a faction at the top 100 rankings would provide any outer disciples with plenty of resources for them to get stronger even faster.
As for geniuses like Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, whose cultivation base has been rising so quickly in the past 10 months that it has even attracted the attention of some of the powerful inner court Elders of the sect, their growth would truly become unimaginable once they get access to the resources of the top 100 factions.
This was why Song Yahui was extremely surprised when he saw Shun Long just now and he was simply unwilling to miss this chance to recruit Jiang Chen and the rest.
Of course, Song Yahui wasn't hoping to get all of them to join his faction.
Even a single one of them would be a huge win in his eyes.
After all, although Jiang Chen and the rest were still extremely weak in his eyes, all 4 of them were already disciples of inner court Elders of the sect, and in the future, they all had a high chance to reach the top of the rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor as well.
Although they probably couldn't reach those monsters at the top 300 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor, reaching the top 500 or even the top 400 would still be possible for them in the future.
Unfortunately for Song Yahui, Liu Mei and the others all stared at him with disdainful looks in their eyes, before Bai Longtian was the first one to actually shake his head as he replied coldly
''Senior brother Song, you should take your leave. If you stay here, I can't guarantee your safety.''
Song Yahui narrowed his eyes when he heard this, but a moment later he actually started to laugh loudly with a deep look in his eyes as he stared at the 5 people in front of him.
Although Bai Longtian's words were polite, his tone clearly lacked any signs of his usual warmness, not disguising his anger at all as he spoke to Song Yahui.
Trying to 'steal' Liu Mei and the rest away from Shun Long's faction, and in front of everyone's eyes, made it clear that Song Yahui didn't have even the slightest bit of respect for Shun Long. There was no way that Xie Xingyi and the rest would accept this.
Even Wan Zu himself frowned as he looked at Song Yahui.
Wan Zu had already mentioned that Shun Long was his guest, and yet Song Yahui had decided to not give him any face in the end.
But how could a middle rank 9 Nascent Soul stage expert who belonged to the top 1000 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor be afraid of Bai Longtian and the rest?
Song Yahui simply laughed and shook his head as he looked at Bai Longtian and the rest, before he said with a smile on his face
''You are simply too weak to understand the difference between us right now. You can't guarantee my safety?
Don't even think about challenging me if you can't even reach the top 2000 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor first, and this is only the requirement to get a chance to challenge me.''
With the same smile on his face, Song Yahui stopped paying attention to Bai Longtian's group, as he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Golden Treasures Hall.
''Brother Shun Long, I apologize.''
Wan Zu shook his head and cupped his hands at Shun Long before he said in an apologetic tone, but he still looked at Song Yahui's disappearing figure from the corner of his eyes.
Shun Long stared at Song Yahui's disappearing figure for a few moments as well, before his lips curved up into a smile a moment later.
Shun Long already knew that it was only a matter of time before some people from the top 100 factions tried to 'steal' Liu Mei and the others and get them to join their factions.
Liu Mei's and the rest's rate of growth was truly considered terrifying even among the top outer court disciples in the Holy sect.
However, nobody knew that the reason why Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, had all managed to breakthrough to the late stages of the Nascent Soul so quickly instead of having to spend a few years on the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, was mostly thanks to Shun Long's 'Barrier-piercing pill'.
Naturally, Shun Long wouldn't pay too much attention to someone like Song Yahui since he had already expected for this to happen sooner or later. There was no way that the top 100 factions would ignore someone like Xingyi who had such a rare unique physique, Liu Mei who had comprehended the Dao of Death, or Jiang Chen who had both an immortal-grade bloodline and a unique physique.
The only one who hadn't revealed his unique physique just yet was Bai Longtian.
However, although Shun Long wouldn't pay too much attention to someone like Song Yahui, this didn't mean that he would simply ignore him once Song Yahui tried to steal Liu Mei and the others away.
''Middle rank 9 of the Nascent Soul? Let's see how strong you really are. Perhaps I shouldn't conceal my Dao of Time any longer either.''
Almost as if he had guessed what Shun Long was thinking as he stared at Song Yahui's figure, Wan Zu shook his head and said in a serious voice
''Brother Shun Long, unless you reach the rank 9 of the Nascent Soul, you really shouldn't challenge Song Yahui. Although he is arrogant, even among other middle rank 9 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he is considered to be among the stronger ones!''
Shun Long turned his gaze towards the white-robed Dao King next to him and nodded his head a moment later as he said in a calm voice
''Thank you, senior Wan. However, I am not here for Song Yahui. I am looking for a certain medicinal herb, and I wonder if senior Wan can help me.''
The white-haired Dao King's, Wan Zu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after he allowed Shun Long and the rest to enter his private room, he gestured for everyone to sit before he said calmly
''Brother Shun, please speak. Naturally, if I can help you, then I will of course do so. I wonder what kind of medicinal herb you are looking for.''
Nodding his head, Shun Long had a serious look in his eyes as he then answered
''I am looking for a rank 6 'five-elements grass'.''
The white-robed Dao King's, Wan Zu's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, as he stared at Shun Long with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
