Chapter 118: Welcoming Guests and Knowing Customers

  Among the sects, there are various rules for flying, such as not being able to fly too high or too fast. If you violate them, the sect's protective array will automatically find trouble with you. Therefore, Lei Dong was also flying slowly and steadily in the low altitude, wrapped in a black mist of ghostly energy. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud and strange wind rolling by. Those who came from all over the world, the smaller sects and schools, if they had some insight, would pull their disciples to hide far away. After Lei Dong flew past, they would lower their voices and warn their younger generations: "That is the infamous flying artifact of the Yīn Xiè Sect, the Evil Ghost Flag. Those who don't have a certain status or position can't even use it. Moreover, the Yīn Xiè Sect cultivators who like to use the Evil Ghost Flag are all bloodthirsty and cruel. In the future, if you see them from afar, hide as far away as possible."

  The young juniors who are qualified to follow their clan leaders or sect masters to the Yin Temple for worship, are mostly the best among the younger generation of various small clans and factions. All these kinds of people, having been spoiled on their own mountain, often have a strong sense of superiority. Upon hearing this, many were somewhat skeptical, just a flying artifact, how powerful could it be? However, there were also not a few people who envied the evil ghost banner's cold and domineering flight, thinking that if they had the chance, they would also get one. They wouldn't take their elders' warnings to heart at all.

  With ears that can hear thunder, because flying is slow, it often hears various comments about its own evil spirit. Some younger generations are disgusted, some are afraid, but more are envied.

  The Yin evil sect has been passed down for a long time, and over the years, countless small sects and families have attached themselves to it. Even if there are qualified forces that can come to worship and pay homage to the mountain, there must be thousands of them, big and small. If there is any controversy or debate about this, I'm afraid it will take a lifetime to resolve.

  After winding and turning, they flew for a few incense sticks within the vast range of the sect. Leidong finally landed on a large hall located slightly closer to the center, with carved beams and pillars, magnificent but not lacking in details. But unlike those in the mortal world that were resplendent with gold and jade. This hall was called the Wheel of Rebirth, and the carvings and sculptures were none other than various evil spirits and ghosts from the nine hells. Especially the two statues of Asura in front of the hall, each ten feet high, were majestic and showed a fierce and sinister demeanor.

  Pressing down the escaping light, the black fog was withdrawn. After the thunder fell, two young men standing guard outside the hall, dressed in the attire of a refined period elite disciple, hastily bowed respectfully and said: "Disciple pays respects to Master Uncle."

  As soon as their voices fell, a white-faced and bearded middle-aged man walked out of the distance. His demeanor was not ordinary, and he should have been welcoming guests often. As soon as he saw Lei Dong, he smiled warmly and greeted him: "I am Xu Feng, the person in charge of the Welcome Pavilion of the Yin Xiao Sect. This junior brother's face is very impressive, I don't know which old ancestor's door he belongs to?"

  Lei Dong was already a foundation-building cultivator at this time, and could be considered the true elite of the Yin Evil Sect. In fact, only those who had cultivated to the foundation-building period would be regarded as the true core disciples of the Yin Evil Sect. Lei Dong's clothes were the uniform of the foundation-building cultivators of the Yin Evil Sect. The main tone was still black with red, but the design and materials used were obviously much stronger than those of the Qi Refining cultivators. Wearing it on his body, he lost a bit of spiritual energy, but gained a few points of luxury and elegance. This was also because the vast majority of foundation-building cultivators were middle-aged or old, with Lei Dong's youthful appearance giving off a somewhat rich and luxurious feel.

  "Wan Gui Ku's eighth disciple, Lei Dong, has arrived. He has met with Master Xu before. Lei is here to assist with some celebratory chores under the master's orders." Seeing that the other party was being polite, Lei Dong also returned a courtesy, appearing neither arrogant nor humble.

  "So the junior brother is actually Lei Dong, who came in third in last year's Grand Competition?" Xu Feng revealed a perfectly timed look of surprise, and the smile on his face increased by several degrees: "Hearing thunder for the first time is not as good as seeing it with one's own eyes. Today, I've finally met Junior Brother Lei, and indeed he is a young hero, extraordinary in every way."

  Lei Dong knew that Xu Feng's words were just a courtesy, and didn't take them seriously, so he just exchanged a few polite phrases calmly.

  Xu Feng also saw that Lei Dong didn't want to chat much, so he enthusiastically pulled him into the East Warming Pavilion of the Wheel of Rebirth Hall, took out a book and helped Lei Dong register. Then he apologetically said: "Lei Shidi, please don't be offended, the Tianmo Lord's Yuanying Grand Ceremony is indeed a rare joyous occasion that our sect has not seen in a hundred years. The various gates and factions under our sect, as well as the Xian families, have all given face and gathered here ahead of time. I believe you've also seen it, Shidi."

  "There are indeed many people, and something needs to be done by Leizuo. Master Xu, please go ahead and say it, Leizuo will not refuse. Even if it's just serving tea to the guests." Lei Dong said with a serious face.

  "Lei Shidi is worrying too much. With your exceptional talent, how could you be allowed to do such trivial tasks?" Xu Feng smiled and shook his head, saying: "This time in the grand hall, we have already recruited tens of thousands of ordinary people, including young girls, handsome boys, and slaves, who will take care of serving tea and water, and other miscellaneous tasks."

  Lei Dong pondered in his heart, fearing that he would also use it to welcome those male and female cultivators who liked beautiful colors. However, such words, Lei Dong was too lazy to say. After all, in the Yin Ye Sect, such things were also common. Lei Dong himself had a rotating group of young maid servants, but he focused solely on his cultivation and never paid attention to them. If he really had the heart to find a batch of beautiful girls, it would be extremely simple.

  Throughout the entire Yin Sect, there are indeed not a few people who do such things. According to Lei Dong's rough knowledge, in Wan Gui Ku, there are also many fellow disciples, as well as younger generations of masters and apprentices who like to collect beautiful mortal maidens, or even handsome young men.

  Others' personal lives, Lei Dong didn't want to comment on. But Lei Dong's ambitions were much greater than what his master had expected of him. Having a talented and gentle senior sister by his side was already satisfying enough. Although he sometimes thought about romantic matters and felt excited, he wouldn't casually mess with those beautiful female servants. Moreover, Lei Dong's own standards had been spoiled by his senior sister. Those young maidens were pretty, but lacked the perfection that seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth in one person, like his senior sister did.

  Upon seeing Lei's movement, Xu Feng continued to introduce: "There are approximately several thousand families that have the qualifications to enter our sect and pay their respects. The majority of them will arrive soon. In order to intimidate them, although our sect has many strong practitioners, we can't bring out those white-haired old masters, right? Therefore, this time we're recruiting people from various veins, either they are talented individuals during the Qi Refining stage or outstanding ones during the Foundation Building stage. In total, we can gather around two thousand Qi Refining stage cultivators and a hundred Foundation Building ones. Most of your sect's Foundation Building cultivators are still young and should all come. Lei Shidi, your area of responsibility is the scenic pavilion near the back mountain, where there will be about thirty small forces coming to pay their respects, with a total number of probably several hundred people. Under your command, you'll have twenty Qi Refining stage disciples and several hundred slaves. Although your responsibility, Shidi, is to entertain them well, in reality, you only need to take care of those twenty Qi Refining stage juniors, and let them handle the specific tasks."

  Lei Dong listened for half a day and finally understood what he had to do. It was just leading a group of Qi refining cultivators, as well as several hundred slaves to entertain a group of guests. As for himself, under normal circumstances, he only needed to show his face, unless something special happened, in which case he shouldn't need to handle it himself.

  It's not about liking or disliking the job, Master personally ordered him to come over and support, so he couldn't lose face in front of his elder. After asking some details, Lei Dong took out the token of authority and left the Wheel of Rebirth Hall, heading straight for Guanjing Garden.

  That was a building complex on the verge of Hou Shan, with a decent view, almost equivalent to the size of a small human town. If it were purely for ordinary human families, I'm afraid tens of thousands of people could be accommodated. But in Yīn Xiè Zōng, there are only about a hundred or so guests. And similar groups, at least hundreds of them. From this, we can see just how big the headquarters of Yīn Xiè Zōng is?

  Just as Lei Dong was about to fly over, he wanted to press down the light and gather his own refining team. However, he saw that in the courtyard below, there were many people surrounding the square, making a lot of noise. In the center of the arena, two groups of people seemed to be confronting each other, arguing with red faces.

  The last day countdown has begun, and I invite everyone to support the launch tomorrow night at 24:00.
