Chapter 167: New Rules of Joyful Union Sect
“Impudent! Arrogant!”
In the distance, the leader of the Body Forging Sect trembled with anger upon hearing these words.
Regardless of anything, he was the overlord of the Eastern Continent, revered by all who crossed his path.
Yet today, a mere child dared to declare that he would annihilate the Body Forging Sect.
Was this not a delusion, a complete overestimation of one’s abilities!
“A small Joyful Union Sect! If it weren’t for the protection of the Great Formation and the Chief Enforcer, I would have uprooted them long ago!”
“This matter is urgent; precautions must be taken!”
The new leader of the Blood God Sect advised gravely, feeling that Zhou Tong, this young man, was far too sinister.
A boy, even with a life-saving trump card, could not behave with such ease when facing their senior figures.
He would never dare to regard them as ants, looking down on them from beginning to end.
Yet Zhou Tong did just that, as if possessed by an extraordinary powerful being.
“Hmph… just a little brat, how much of a storm can he stir up?”
The Body Forging Sect leader said dismissively, “Three days from now, I will wait for him to come. If he dares not to show up, I will make him live in shame forever!”
With that, he turned and left.
As for Tie Xiong, his fate was already sealed; no one could alter it.
…
“Leader!!!”
Tie Xiong screamed in despair, completely isolated and helpless, facing Zhou Tong’s wrath.
“This is a misunderstanding… I was forced!”
“Forced?”
Zhou Tong showed a cold smile: “There are many ways to provoke someone; why did you choose this one?”
As these words fell, Tie Xiong felt cold all over.
He realized he had crossed the line and had touched Zhou Tong’s reverse scale.
Although he sought death, his insult towards Mu Ran Ya was the true reason for his demise!
Everyone witnessing this event silently noted that, from now on, they must never harbor disrespect toward Mu Ran Ya!
Zhou Tong indeed kept his previous promise, ensuring Tie Xiong would live a long life worse than death.
“Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!”
With a wave of his hand, countless swords pierced through Tie Xiong’s body, completely destroying his flesh.
According to common logic, a cultivator who had not reached the Semi-Sage Realm would perish once their physical body was destroyed.
However, Zhou Tong did not think so.
“Symbol Eighty-Seven, Nine Stars Binding Soul Rope!”
In the next moment, nine black stars appeared out of thin air and pinned Tie Xiong’s dissipating soul, fixing it in the void.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah…”
His residual soul twisted in the void, shrieking in agony, sending shivers down people’s spines.
Yet this was just the beginning.
Zhou Tong’s torment was far from over.
“Cang Kong Divine Language, Manifest Dragon in the Field!”
He used the natural forces to condense wind, thunder, water, and fire, and then transformed them with the Five Dragon Divine Talisman into soul-fixing nails!
Everyone around gasped; if these nails were to embed in their bodies…
Zhou Tong soon met their expectations and, under their horrified gazes, directly inserted four soul-fixing nails into Tie Xiong’s soul!
“Bang!”
Tie Xiong exploded but gradually reformed under the binding of the Nine Stars, his face filled with utter terror.
“Grant me relief… let me die… please, let me die!!”
At that moment, he only wished for a quick death, with no other thoughts in mind.
“For the next thousand years, enjoy this!”
Zhou Tong’s cruelty sent chills down their spines, but for those young geniuses wishing to join the Joyful Union Sect, this was a tremendous blessing!
With such a fierce elder to protect them, who would dare bully them in the future!
“Long live the Elder!”
The young disciples who came to sign up worshiped him.
“No need for formalities…”
Zhou Tong flashed a happy smile. On their first meeting, this elder gives you a gift.
He extended his palm toward the crowd, and a mysterious power quietly operated.
“Life-Balance Dominion!”
In an instant, the life force from dozens of miles around gathered and enveloped the newcomers.
“What’s happening? The injuries on my body are healed.”
“My cultivation is about to break through; I was still far from it!”
“Me too…”
“This is the Elder’s blessing!”
Someone in the crowd shouted, causing Zhou Tong’s image to grow immensely in their hearts.
“Wishing you all good luck!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong left, handing the newly joined disciples over to Lian Hanxing for her to arrange.
“How wonderful… if only they were my disciples.”
Lian Hanxing gazed at Zhou Tong’s retreating figure, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
“Ahem…”
Realizing her lapse, she quickly shifted her gaze to the young people Zhou Tong had brought back.
“You were all geniuses of Jade Purity Sect and have history with the Elder. From today, you shall live together with the disciples of the former Indulgence Sect in the First Cave Heaven.”
As these words fell, everyone’s eyes widened, all focusing on Lian Hanxing.
The reputation of the Indulgence Sect was well-known… beautiful women and handsome men were plentiful, and they excelled in the dual cultivation path, earning both disdain and envy in equal measure.
Everyone despised the Indulgence Sect…
Unless they could join!
Next, Lian Hanxing added, “The fusion of Yin and Yang is the great path of Heaven and Earth; there’s nothing shameful about it. If you meet someone you fancy, you may become Dao Partners, and of course, if you wish to maintain your chastity, the sect will not interfere.”
“After forming Dao Partners, you may report to the sect and regularly receive dual cultivation benefits. You’ll have eight days of break each month, without having to participate in sect gatherings or take on missions!”
Upon hearing this, the passionate young men and women’s eyes widened, eagerly wanting to join the sect.
The Joyful Union Sect not only arranged everything but also offered dual breaks and dual cultivation—what could be better than this!
“Of course, the Joyful Union Sect has its own rules. Anyone who violates them will be severely punished!”
Immediately, Lian Hanxing’s expression turned serious as she stated: “As the Second Elder and Punishment Elder, I have established the following rules…”
Firstly, no stealing others’ Dao Partners.
Secondly, promiscuity is prohibited; if one already has a Dao Partner, they cannot take additional ones. Note: Elders are not bound by this rule.
Thirdly, disciples must not harass Elders, especially female disciples; this is of utmost importance!
Fourthly…
Just as Zhou Tong stepped into the Joyful Union Sect, a delicate jade-like hand grabbed him.
He was not surprised; this was the hand of a Sage, and only one person could achieve this.
“Little guy… come here!”
In the next moment, he found himself back in the Sect Main Hall, pinned beneath Mu Ran Ya.
“Master is angry…”
“I was wrong!”
Zhou Tong said without hesitation, almost instinctively.
“Where did I go wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have left while dual cultivating with you…”
“Smart of you. Thus, I must punish you!”
Mu Ran Ya opened her mouth, revealing her sharp little canines.
Seeing this scene sent chills down Zhou Tong’s spine!
