Primordial Cultivator

After a short briefing with the outer disciples, Elder Shan returned next to Yang Wei as she informed him of some of the key points in the Misty Forest.

"Yang Wei, you should be careful of the fog deep in the center core of the Misty Forest." Elder Shan said.

"The fog?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Mhm, during your examination, there wasn't any need to explore deep in the Misty Forest so no one bothered to explain it." Elder Shan showed a solemn expression as she continued.

"The fog inside the Misty Forest is extremely dangerous. Once you step inside, it's hard to leave as you would find yourself returning to the same place."

"The fog in the Misty Forest was jointly called the Anguished Fog."

"Anguished Fog…" Yang Wei mumbled as he nodded his head. "I understand, Elder Shan. I shall be careful when going near the center core."

Sometime later, after a few more sects had arrived at the location of the gathering, an elder from the Phoenix Sky Sect started floating in the air.

"Hello everyone. Thanks for attending to this summon to annihilate our common foe, Tang Xin, and his group of men. You can all call me Elder Chen Xue." Elder Chen Xue said while being surrounded by a profound aura.

He was exuding his authority toward the other sects and despite his gentle tone, it was clear that no one bought his words.

However, no one was going to disrespect him as every sect's elders cupped their fists and thanked Elder Chen Xue for his hard work.

"Elder Chen Xue is too polite. It's a given that our sect, the Jade Sabre, would do our best to annihilate the scum in the cultivation world." One of the elders in the Jade Sabre Sect said as he promoted himself while complimenting Elder Chen Xue.

The rest of the elders followed his footstep as they all sang praises toward Elder Chen Xue and the Phoenix Sky Sect for their hard work while proclaiming their sect.

Although it was all flattery speeches, Elder Chen Xue was clearly happy from the praises as he smiled brightly.

"Haha, everyone is too polite. We are just doing what is righteous and for the benefit of everyone in the future." Elder Chen Xue stroked his beard as he kindly refused their flowery words.

Meanwhile, Elder Shan was disgusted by the amount of hypocrisy spouted from those old men.

"Damn, these old fogeys are really a bunch of nuisances." Elder Shan complained in a low voice as she glanced at Yang Wei.

She then whispered to him, "Don't ever follow their etiquette, Yang Wei. I can't stand these types of people the most."

Yang Wei chuckled softly as he nodded his head.

"You can rest assured, Elder Shan. I cannot imagine acting like them at all." Yang Wei said as he wanted to vomit from their hypocrisy act.

It was extremely disgusting and ridiculous at the same time. They were all secretly scheming against each other and Yang Wei knew at least half of those sect elders wanted the Phoenix Sky Sect to fall.

Who would ever want to be controlled by another person?

The answer is a definite no unless they are straight up a masochist that enjoyed being beaten left and right.

"Good, if you ever try to become one of them." Elder Shan then paused for a moment as she walked closer to Yang Wei.

She whispered softly in his ears, "I'm going to spank you real hard. Do you understand?"

Her hand reached dangerously close to his buttock as Yang Wei sweated profusely.

"Do you want me to swear to heaven?" Yang Wei asked awkwardly as he could feel Elder Shan's hot breath blowing through him.

Elder Shan shook her head.

Afterward, Elder Shan patted Yang Wei's shoulder as she showed a solemn expression. "You better return back safely since we are prohibited from entering due to our cultivation base."

"You won't be coming with us?" Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he expected an elder from each sect would be guiding their disciples even if it means there are some dangers.

"You are too naive, Yang Wei. If all of us entered the Misty Forest then not only will it attract a lot of attention. It will also be difficult for Elder Chen Xue to control the situation." Elder Shan said.

And she continued, "It's clear that Elder Chen Xue is going to be the leader and if there is a situation going wrong, he would be the one in command. However, that would be difficult to do if there are other elders that don't want to follow his words."

"And the situation would become chaotic and Elder Chen Xue might be worried some other elders would harbor evil intentions toward him." Yang Wei added, finishing the sentence for Elder Shan.

Even though Elder Chen Xue was all smiles and blissful toward the other sect elders, his trust in them was near zero.

"Here, keep this and make sure to never lose it." Elder Shan suddenly handed Yang Wei an item.

"It's a communication device and has a function of showing your location to us at all times." She explained.

"Thank you, Elder Shan." Yang Wei smiled at her as he stored the communication device in his storage ring.

Elder Shan wasn't the only one to do this as every other sect's elders had done the same to the disciple that they trust.

After all, they needed to understand the situation inside the Misty Forest even if they were prohibited from joining them.

At the same time, it helps to prevent any foul play from Elder Chen Xue.

Sometime later, after the sun started lowering, Elder Chen Xue stepped forward once again.

"Alright, everyone." Elder Chen Xue said. "May all elders please return to your respective sect as we'll need to head in now. We don't want to alert Tang Xin and his gang, right?"

Every elder soon bid their farewell to their disciples as they boarded their own flying treasures.

"Be careful out there." Elder Shan warned Yang Wei one last time before glancing around.

Noticing that no one was looking in their direction, she secretly kissed Yang Wei's cheek softly before boarding her flying treasure.
