Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Paying Respects to the Master [Third Update] Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Paying Respects to the Master [Third Update] The crowd didn’t quite believe Li Xiaoyao’s words, but no one dared to contradict him.
Li Xiaoyao knew that these fellows were waiting to see him embarrass himself; he said, “There are two honorary Elders in Xiaoyao Sect, Jiang Lichun of Xuan Sect and Cheng Dongliang from the military region of Lu Province.”
“Besides, there are another two Elders and seven managers.” After Li Xiaoyao spoke these words, Tang Tiantian was full of questions. Elders? Managers? When had all this happened? Why didn’t she know anything about it?
Li Xiaoyao said, “Now, may I invite the two honorary Elders of Xiaoyao Sect to co onstage.”
A wry smile appeared on Cheng Dongliang’s face; the kid really was cunning, yet he couldn’t really say anything about it.
Jiang Lichun had been prepared for a while, just waiting for this mont.
After the two n went onstage, the guests found themselves at a loss for words; in terms of cultivation level, Cheng Dongliang might be sowhat weaker, but with his status, who would dare to speak up?
...
The crowd’s gaze shifted around, and after looking around for a while, they didn’t see the other two Elders.
Nie Xiaoqian and Jiuyin, who had received a telepathic ssage from Li Xiaoyao, were quite helpless; they hadn’t been inford about any of these matters in advance.
However, given the situation, they definitely had to go up, as it concerned the face of Xiaoyao Sect.
When the two of them walked up, it imdiately caused quite a stir.
Nie Xiaoqian was not too bad, since not many people had seen her.
But Jiuyin was different; there was a ti when Jiuyin’s popularity was even higher than Li Xiaoyao’s, and if he hadn’t chosen to hide himself because he found it troubleso, with his looks, becoming a national heartthrob would have been no problem at all.
“This is Jiuyin, and this is Nie Xiaoqian, two of Xiaoyao Sect’s Elders,” he introduced.
“As for the seven managers, I believe everyone is familiar with them. They are Tang Tiantian, Zhang ng, Cheng Yiyi, Xiao Ya…”
The crowd only knew that Li Xiaoyao had many won by his side; this was the first ti they saw all of them together.
Seven won standing in a row onstage made quite a beautiful scene.
The beauty and elegance of the seven won were second to none, and even the most powerful cultivators couldn’t help but be moved by the sight.
Besides them was Nie Xiaoqian.
Her ethereal, otherworldly charm was as if a Heavenly Immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
At that mont, the sound of dense footfalls arose from the distance, as a group of people walked towards them from outside.
The sound of footsteps drew the attention of many; Li Xiaoyao looked over as well.
There were about seventy people in the coming group, and Li Xiaoyao didn’t recognize any of them, but he could clearly sense that all of them were cultivators.
“It’s the Canglang Unit!” Cheng Dongliang comnted from the side.
“Canglang Unit?” Li Xiaoyao was sowhat surprised. “Why are they here?”
“Don’t ask , I have no idea,” replied Cheng.
Amidst the confusion, the Canglang Unit, numbering over seventy, had already arrived. The middle-aged man leading them saluted Cheng Dongliang with a military gesture and said, “Military Governor Cheng.”
Then, facing Li Xiaoyao, he said, “Sect Leader Li, these n behind are the seventy most outstanding in cultivation talent from my Canglang Unit. We heard today about the grand opening ceremony of Xiaoyao Sect and the recruitnt of disciples, so we brought our n to try our luck and see if they might catch Sect Leader Li’s discerning eye.”
“Holy shit—the Canglang Unit from one of the top ten military regions has actually co as a group to seek apprenticeship? That’s like… too much… ”
“I thought no one was going to be an apprentice, but it seems there was so preparation after all.”
The constant twists and turns left so people already a bit lost.
Li Xiaoyao nodded, his appreciation for the Canglang Unit increasing a bit; at the very least, their presence today had alleviated the awkwardness of having no disciples.
Seventy people, a bit few, but still better than having no disciples at all.
Although the number was small, Li Xiaoyao adhered to quality over quantity and outright refused to take disciples if their talent didn’t et the standards.
“Close your eyes,” Li Xiaoyao said indifferently.
The soldiers may not have entirely understood, but they still closed their eyes as instructed, while the team leader stood aside.
The guests were also curiously looking over.
Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently waved it, enveloping the seventy people in an energy shield, their faces showing relaxed expressions.
As ti ticked by, about five minutes had passed, and so people began to grow impatient.
“Putting on airs, this is the first ti I’ve seen such a thod for choosing disciples.”
When the ti was about right, Li Xiaoyao withdrew the energy shield, and at that mont, several people slowly and abruptly opened their eyes, but many others still had their eyes closed.
Li Xiaoyao was not very satisfied; out of seventy people, only five passed his assessnt.
The thod of assessnt was actually quite simple: set up a basic Illusion Array and imrse them in it. With ten minutes as the limit, those who could break through the Illusion Array in ti passed the test.
Clearly, there were only five people who noticed sothing amiss and ca to their senses.
Li Xiaoyao said, “You five, have passed.”
“What!”
“Only five people passed?”
“Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated? Out of seventy people, only taking five? That’s really not showing Long Ren any face.”
The crowd felt that Li Xiaoyao’s actions were a slap in the face to Long Ren, and the middle-aged man leading Long Ren also didn’t look too pleased.
They had thought that Li Xiaoyao would recruit at least forty or fifty people, but it turned out he didn’t even take one-tenth of that number.
Five people, how were they supposed to report back with that?
At that mont, another set of footsteps was heard from afar.
The newcors numbered about a hundred, and this ti, without Cheng Dongliang having to point it out, Li Xiaoyao had already recognized them.
It was the Canglang Unit.
“Canglang Unit, Captain Feng Longwei, reporting for ntorship!” Feng Longwei saluted militarily, his voice as resonant as a bell, exceptionally loud.
Li Xiaoyao had so good impressions of Feng Longwei, solely because he had once saved Cheng Yiyi.
However, good impressions were one thing; if they did not et the criteria, he would not take them just the sa.
“First Long Ren, now Canglang, is sothing big brewing?”
Before they had finished speaking, another round of footsteps began, and this ti the footsteps were more concentrated than before. From these details, one could surmise that the newcors were at least several hundred strong.
“The Unparalleled Unit, reporting for ntorship!”
“The Dragon Soul Unit, reporting for ntorship!”
“The Wolf Fang Squad, reporting for ntorship!”
“…”
Nine of the top ten elite military units had arrived all at once.
The scene suddenly beca eerily quiet; the nine units together numbered over a thousand people, which packed this space to bursting.
Each one was a Cultivator, their Cultivation Levels differed, but they were all the elite soldiers from their respective elite units.
When the Military Governors of the various units learned that Li Xiaoyao had started his own sect, they imdiately ordered that all those with cultivation should attend and beco disciples.
With Li Xiaoyao being so powerful, how could the disciples he taught be any less?
“Dragon Group Unit… reporting for ntorship!”
“Damn it, Dragon Group Unit, the number one in the military district, they’ve co too!”
“Heh, what ‘number one in the military district,’ Long Chi has long since been number one.” So people were very well-inford; they knew the final outcos of the military district competition at the end of the year.
