Chapter 898 - Bone Demons

Chapter 898 Bone Demons

“Big Brother, we, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise also joined the battle. This could be said to be a good result,” Azure Dragon said slowly.

“Yes, it’s good to have them. But Jiang Yanlan is almost a member of Mount New Moon.” Ye Tianlang looked at Jiang Yanlan. He was speechless when he saw her look of zealous admiration for Zhang Han.

“Should I or should I not have asked her to go to Xiangjiang?”

“After today, Zhang Hanyang’s name will be known all over the world.”

Ye Tianlang smiled, then, added, “If this happened to anyone else, he or she might create his or her own forces and become a legend. But Zhang Hanyang won’t care to do any of that. He’s the type who cooks at home and babysits the children. This is the kind of man Zhang Hanyang is!”

The astounding cheers lasted for two whole minutes.

“Good job, son!”

Zhang Guangyou came to Zhang Han and gave him a bear hug, then, patted Zhang Han on the back twice with a smile on his face.

“Sorry I came back late.”

Zhang Han sounded kind of apologetic.

“Not late, not late!”

Zhang Guangyou laughed and then said, “You came just at the right time. After all, no one knew that the people of the Kunlun Immortal World would come back so soon. Otherwise, the Wind Snow School and the others couldn’t have cracked the Heaven-earth Formation. Yet, Nan Shisan was able to break the formation. So, without the defensive formation, we had no choice but to fight them.”

“Han,” Dong Chen said with some emotion, “it has only been two years, but you have grown to such a level. I really admire you. This time, we need to thank this Mr. Wu Ming. We went to the Kunlun Mountain Range yesterday. If it hadn’t been for him, we would have been in great danger.”

“Indeed, I really need to thank Wu Ming.”

Zhang Han looked at Wu Ming.

If he hadn’t been to Lingxi City and called him back, he and Si Nan would still be eyeing another City Lord’s Top-grade Crystal Palace.

“Burp, you can save your words of thanks. Zhang Hanyang, um… I’ll stay in the secular world for a couple of years. Sometime later, I’ll talk to you about the martial arts,” Wu Ming said, casually waving at Zhang Han.

He had noticed that the secret skills that Zhang Hanyang used were quite advanced. It would do him good if he could learn some.

“Sect Leader Mu, Sect Leader Jiang, thank you so much.”

Zhang Han looked at the two sect leaders and said, “I’ll give you a great gift later. If you two like, you can have your own places on Mount New Moon.”

“Swish!”

As soon as he said that, the expressions of many in the two sects changed.

“Hahaha, that’s not necessary for the time being. And you really don’t need to give me any gifts.”

Sect Leader Mu laughed out loud and came closer. He looked around, then, suddenly, turned a little nervous.

He coughed softly and said, “Well, I was wondering if Young Lord Zhang would meet a little request of mine.”

“What’s the request?” Zhang Han suddenly glanced at Mu Xue.

“Is he going to ask me to remove the world ‘nominal’ from her title?

“Mu Xue does seem quite headstrong on this matter.”

“Umm, I-I want to be your disciple too,” Sect Leader Mu lowered his voice and said.

Huh?

Zhang Han was suddenly stunned.

Even the expressions of many people nearby stiffened a little.

Sect Leader Mu, as the Sect Leader of the Luo Fu Sword Sect, you a-actually made such a point!

Who didn’t want to be Zhang Han’s disciple?

That was everybody’s wish.

But Zhang Han might not allow that.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little tense. No one knew if Zhang Han would agree.

Before Zhang Han could speak, Mu Xue blushed.

“Dad, why are you trying to steal Master from your daughter?”

“Everyone has something to learn from the wiser! It’s no big deal that you and I take the same person as our master.” Sect Leader Mu raised his right hand slightly as a respectful gesture.

“I don’t agree. I’m still a nominal disciple.”

Mu Xue wrinkled her nose and came to Zhang Han. She grabbed Zhang Han’s sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, “Master, don’t mind my dad. But now, am I an official disciple of yours?”

“Sure.” Zhang Han beamed.

“Then, shall I go through the ceremony right now to formally acknowledge me as your master?” Mu Xue’s eyes were shining with excitement.

“You can do it after we’re back home.”

“No, I want to do it now.”

Mu Xue quickly let go of Zhang Han’s sleeve. Ignoring the thousands of people present, she directly came to Zhang Han and made to kneel down before him.

“Just the salute will do,” Zhang Han said.

“Ha.”

Mu Xue laughed, and did not insist to do the kowtows. She then bowed to Zhang Han and respectfully called, “Master!”

“Good.”

Zhang Han nodded and held Mu Xue’s arm with his right hand.

“From now on, you are my second official disciple. Do work hard.”

“Yes, Master.”

Mu Xue was rapturous. She instantly had a broad smile on her face.

“Ahem.”

Not far from the back, Sect Leader Jiang coughed softly to remind Jiang Yanlan.

Jiang Yanlan was too embarrassed to make the request.

She threw a look at Instructor Liu.

“Hee-hee.”

Instructor Liu, who was bald-faced, did not feel embarrassed to make a request at all.

He stepped forward and said, “Boss, look, Lanlan has also made great contributions. Why don’t you accept her as your disciple as well?”

“Okay.”

Truthfully, Zhang Han was not particularly enthusiastic about accepting disciples. He would like to see people joining the security group. He would also teach the members of the security group how to cultivate. They were basically his disciples. But if Zhang Han formally acknowledged them as his disciples, he would have to shoulder more responsibilities. Since Zhang Han was used to being carefree, he did not want to take in more disciples.

However, now that Sect Head Jiang had led his men to assist them in this life-and-death crisis, Zhang Han owed him too much.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a big deal to accept Jiang Yanlan as his disciple.

“Go ahead.”

Sect Leader Jiang patted Jiang Yanlan on the back.

“Good.”

Jiang Yanlan obediently came to Zhang Han and bowed.

Then, she called, “Master.”

“Good.”

Zhang Han nodded, helped her up, and said, “Now you’ve become my disciples, I’ll treat you equally regardless of your previous identities. Hope you will work hard.”

“Yes, I will do my best,” Jiang Yanlan replied.

In one day, Zhang Han had accepted two gorgeous girls as his disciples.

“What’s going on?”

This scene was witnessed by thousands of people.

Zhang Hanyang now had three official disciples.

His first disciple, Zhao Feng, was extremely brave in the battle that just ended. Few martial artists in the Divine Realm were his matches.

His second disciple, Mu Xue the female demon, had always been tough. She was called the female demon and equally famous with Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, and other young talents. Now she had become Zhang Hanyang’s disciple, her power ceiling had certainly risen.

His third disciple, Jiang Yanlan, was Captain Vermilion Bird. Although she was not well-known, her abilities were quite impressive. So far, she was already a martial artist in the Earth Realm.

Among the three disciples, except for Zhao Feng, the other two both had strong backgrounds. One was the princess of the Luo Fu Sword Sect, while the other was the princess of the Shuiyun Sect.

It could be imagined that the sects behind the two would form an alliance with the Heavenly Knights Sect in the near future.

In the past, even if the three forces were in an alliance, it would not be big news. But now, with the appearance of Zhang Hanyang, a monster, such an alliance would cement the distinguished status of the three sects.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hit the road.”

Wu Ming gave Zhang Han a meaningful look and said, “You’re the first person in thousands of years to bring a member of the Dark Shadow Clan out of the Ancient Mine to the secular world.”

He was implying that Zhang Han had acquired another trump card.

Zhang Han was also aware of it, so he nodded slightly.

“I’ll later get some good wine. Let’s talk this over drinks in Mount New Moon.”

Wu Ming smiled. Then, stepping on his long sword, taking a gulp of his wine, Wu Ming flew away.

“Third Elder, take some members to the Main Sect of the Wind Snow School,” Dong Chen said.

“Yun Feiyang…”

Third Elder summoned dozens of people and quickly left. There were more or less some treasures in the Main Sect of the Wind Snow School, which were their spoils of war.

“Sect Leader Mu, Sect Leader Jiang, please go to the Heavenly Knights Sect. Today, we are going to celebrate!” Dong Chen said with a smile.

“Sure!”

The two both nodded.

This victory was indeed worth celebrating.

The crowd went back to the Heavenly Knights Sect, and a small number of disciples were left behind to take care of the dead bodies all over the place.

The thousands of people around stayed on the scene and observed for a long time. Eventually, they left one after another.

They were well aware that the power structure of the worldlets was about to alter!

The Wind Snow School had gone, and the Heavenly Knights Sect had risen.

Those who did not get on good terms with the Heavenly Knights Sect were not particularly worried, for they planned to go to the Kunlun Immortal World to cultivate.

In this world, no one could break through to the Elixir realm. But if they went to cultivate in the higher world, it was hard to say who would be stronger in the future.

When the spectators scattered, the scene that occurred a while ago still kept flashing back.

Zhang Hanyang gave each of those men one punch and killed them in the air!

The people from the Kunlun Immortal World, Grand Elder of Wind Snow School, and the Caprice Mo Sect Leader were not the kind of people who would die after taking one punch.

In this regard, all they could think of was one word—”invincible”!

“As long as you’re here, unless a cultivator at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage comes and cast his real power that can only last for a few seconds to defeat you, the others in this world really can’t do anything to you.”

Seeing Zhang Guangyou, Zhang Han, and Dong Chen flying toward him, Daofu sighed with emotion.

“Senior Daofu.”

Seeing that Zhang Han took a deaf ear to Daofu’s words, Zhang Guangyou remarked, “Could you tell me something about my father?”

“Your father is also an enigmatic person.”

Daofu shook his head slightly and then said, “When he went to the Kunlun Immortal World, he was fighting against the third prince of the Wind Snow Temple, Nan Feng. Over the years, every time he saw the people in league with Nan Feng, he challenged them to a huge fight. By now, he has already reached the Elixir Realm Middle-stage.”

“He is safe. That’s all that matters.” Zhang Guangyou breathed a sigh of relief.

“He’s cultivating in the Deep Valley.”

He told them what he knew. “The Deep Valley was established by a cultivator at the Elixir Realm Late-Stage. His Taoist name is Deep Flame. His cultivation is eccentric. He is among the top ones at the Elixir Realm Late-Stage. He was one of the people who entered the Kunlun Immortal World more than 50 years ago. He founded the Deep Valley 30 years ago. So far, the force has developed well. He seems to know Zhang Mu all along. When Zhang Mu was chased by the force of Nan Feng, Deep Flame helped him out. Since then, Zhang Mu has stayed in Deep Valley to cultivate.”

“Deep Flame…”

That title didn’t ring a bell. Zhang Guangyou thought for a while and asked, “Then why didn’t my father come out this time?”

“He is not qualified.”

Daofu answered, “There are many sects in the Kunlun Immortal World, five of which are the most powerful. The Wind Snow Temple is one of the five. Though the task to recruit disciples from the secular world is important, it is not the most important kind. So, we, the disciples of the sects, are sent here as representatives. We will bring back thousands of people and inject some fresh blood into the Kunlun Immortal World. Of course, the more important thing is to find some people fated to go with us. Since the secular world has a large population, there will always be some talented people. Therefore, every 30 years, we pay a visit to the secular world. Recently, for some unknown reason, the space energy at the exit is extremely unstable, so we arrived way behind schedule this time.”

“Don’t you have enough people in the Kunlun Immortal World? Why do you still need to come to the secular world to find talents?” Zhang Han asked.

“Because…” Daofu’s expression was a little hesitant.

Two seconds later, he sighed and said, “Well, I shouldn’t have told you these secrets. But Zhang Hanyang, you are really powerful and so qualified to know these things. The reason why we came to the secular world to recruit disciples is that we are under great pressure.”

“How could this be?”

Dong Chen was slightly taken aback. “In the Kunlun Immortal World, there are countless Elixir Realm cultivators. What kind of stress can you have?”

“That is the stress imposed by the Alien Domain.”

With a trace of helplessness in his tone, Daofu continued, “In the Alien Domain live endless Bone Demons who are looking for opportunities to invade the Kunlun Immortal World all year round. In the Kunlun Immortal World, there are 32 Light Gates, which lead to the Bone Demon World. At first, when there were only 18 Light Gates, the Kunlun Immortal World was not under much pressure. However, every few years, a new Light Gate appeared, and the threat we face became greater and greater. The Bone Demons are the embodiment of the evil in the world. They’re creatures composed of dead bones. Once, a Light Gate appeared out of nowhere beside a sect. The Bone Demons came through the gate and plunged the living creatures into an abyss of misery. That sect was destroyed, and that area became deserted and dark. It took the Kunlun Immortal World a lot of effort to get rid of those Bone Demons. Later, our people entered that sect and built up the Royal City to resist Bone Demons.”
