The next morning, the entire Qingyun Sect began to bustle with activity, as thousands of disciples stood in the even larger and more magnificent square within the sect.
A high platform rose up, with Dao Xuan sitting in the main seat, and the heads of each branch sitting beside him. Lin Qing, holding the water unicorn, also sat on it.
At this moment, Xiao Yicai led more than three hundred mortals and one "player" to the front of the high platform.
Thousands of disciples stood on both sides, leaving a wide path in the middle for them to move around.
Xiao Yicai: "Greetings, Master and fellow disciples. All those who passed the test yesterday have been brought here."
Dao Xuan: "Hmm, very good." Dao Xuan made no mention of Lin Qing's actions yesterday.
Xiao Yicai then stepped aside. Those mortals had never seen such a scene before, and they were all sweating profusely, but they were also extremely excited.
Liu Shui was also very excited. He actually got to join the Qingyun Sect. Although he didn't get into the guard team this time, Liu Shui didn't care at all, since Zhou Hong was helping him.
Dao Xuan walked to the edge of the platform and said majestically, "Very good, now I declare that you are all disciples of the Qingyun Sect."
"Great! Haha, this is really great! I can become an immortal in the future!"
Most mortals are unusually excited and thrilled, which is nothing to write home about.
Last night, Xiao Yicai captured more than a dozen spies from the Demonic Sect among these people, and they are still locked up in jail and being tortured.
These ordinary people who joined the Qingyun Sect all came from clean families. Of course, there might also be some deeply hidden spies.
Subsequently, the leaders of each lineage began selecting disciples, with Tian Buyi being the most enthusiastic, given that there were relatively few people on Dazhu Peak.
"Hmm? I didn't expect there to be a little mouse here, hehe." Lin Qing discovered Wan Zhongshan, who was fused with a floor tile.
"As for this player who joined the Qingyun Sect, we'll find an opportunity to secretly eliminate him later." Lin Qing looked at Liu Shui thoughtfully.
The latter shivered and thought to himself, "Zhou Hong, why do I feel so cold?"
Zhou Hong said mercilessly, "What? Is your body that weak? I can sense the presence of my body; Wan Zhongshan is nearby."
Liu Shui exclaimed in shock, "What? It's nearby? How come no one from Qingyun Sect noticed it? Is Wanzhong Mountain really that powerful? Didn't even the Dragon King notice it?"
Zhou Hong: "Let's take it one step at a time."
Zhou Hongdao was still quite surprised, surprised by the existence of Lin Qing, the Dragon King.
Zhou Hong and Liu Shui watched the video yesterday. Lin Qing's strength is beyond doubt. The strange thing is that in Zhou Hong's memory, where did the Dragon King come from in Jade Dynasty?
Lin Qing was somewhat surprised: "Huh? How come this player still has a soul inside him, and he's even having a conversation?"
Seeing such a grand scene, Wan Zhongshan, who had been integrated into the floor tiles, was very unhappy. There were originally more than 900 of his subordinates inside, but now not a single one of them was left.
All the newly initiated disciples have joined their respective lineages, and the disciple-acceptance ceremony has officially concluded.
Just as Dao Xuan was about to adjourn the meeting, Lin Qing stood up from his chair and put the water unicorn in his arms down.
Lin Qing: "Dao Xuan Zhenren, someone from another world has secretly sneaked into Qingyun Sect and is currently hiding in the plaza."
Dao Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "Dragon King, I know that one of my disciples is from another world, but he—"
Lin Qing interrupted Dao Xuan directly: "I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about someone else."
Cangsong Daoren: "Hmm? There are other people from other worlds?"
Tian Buyi: "Is it among those newly joined disciples?"
Dao Xuan quickly searched the plaza and said, "Dragon King, I did not find any other people from this other world in the plaza."
Lin Qing smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it seems that Dao Xuan Zhenren's cultivation is still not up to par."
Lin Qing opened his palm, and an ice spike appeared out of thin air. He controlled the ice spike to shoot towards a paving stone in the distance.
Before Lin Qing's attack could arrive, the floor tile suddenly shattered, and a figure appeared on the spot.
The man's right arm turned into flames, and then a flame flew out from his hand. When the ice spike met the raging fire, the fire prevailed.
Lin Qing chuckled with a hint of mockery, "This guy's got some skills; he actually managed to break the ice spike I threw out so casually."

"You damned bastard, looks like I'll just have to tough it out. Kill one and run," Wan Zhongshan cursed.
Wan Zhongshan never expected that his secret technique would be discovered by Lin Qing. You should know that if this secret technique had not been taught by Wang Batian, even Wang Batian would not have been able to discover it.
Could that person be stronger than Wang Batian? "Impossible, he definitely specializes in techniques related to perception." Wan Zhongshan immediately rejected the idea; he didn't believe there was anyone stronger than Wang Batian in this world.
Everyone in the square was drawn to Wan Zhongshan's appearance.
Liu Shui was no exception; he immediately recognized the man as Wan Zhongshan.
"Wow, my chance has come! Liu Shui, maybe today I can get my body back!" Zhou Hong said excitedly.
Liu Shui got excited when he heard this: "Really?"
"Hahahaha, of course!" Zhou Hong laughed heartily.
When Dao Xuan saw Wan Zhongshan suddenly appear, his smile instantly turned grim.
"Hmph, I didn't expect there really is someone from another world. What is their purpose in secretly hiding in our Qingyun Sect?"
The six chief disciples also stood up. If they hadn't seen Dao Xuan standing in front of them, they probably would have already made their move.
Wan Zhongshan showed no fear whatsoever: "Haha, I came here to destroy your Qingyun Sect. I originally had a thousand of my men with me, but you bastard wiped them out, so I had to come alone."
Dao Xuan cupped his hands towards Lin Qing and said, "Hmph, people from other worlds are indeed wolves in sheep's clothing. Thank you for your help yesterday, Dragon King."
Just as Dao Xuan turned around to make his move, Cangsong Daoren was even faster, drawing his sword and attacking Wan Zhongshan directly.
The sword's edge slashed towards Wan Zhongshan, but Wan Zhongshan didn't look to the side and took out a peerless sword from his backpack.
With a single slash, Wan Zhongshan met the sword light of Cangsong Daoren. With a "bang," Wan Zhongshan remained unmoved, while Cangsong Daoren was sent flying backward.
Cangsong Daoren regained control of his body in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, his sharp gaze fixed on Wan Zhongshan.
Daoist Cangsong: "He does indeed have some skill."
Wan Zhongshan said disdainfully, "Tsk tsk tsk, I thought the Qingyun Sect was so powerful, but the head of a lineage is actually so bad?"
"Hmph, arrogant."
Cangsong raised the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand and pointed it at the sky. His face was solemn, and he stepped on the Seven Stars. Instantly, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color.
"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple transforms into divine thunder. The majestic power of heaven is drawn forth with the sword."
Ancient incantations and mysterious echoes resounded across the sky, and a huge, deep, dark vortex appeared, spinning rapidly with lightning and thunder.
The supreme swordsmanship of the Qingyun Sect was unleashed fiercely in the hands of Daoist Cangsong.
"Haha, that's more like it." Despite the incredibly powerful and dangerous aura emanating from the sky, Wan Zhongshan wasn't worried at all.
The onlookers were amazed, especially the newly initiated disciples, whose faces turned bright red.
Looking at the earth-shattering changes of this Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, Lin Qing exclaimed, "It's truly an essential sword technique for showing off!"
"Laugh, let's see if you can still laugh later," the Cangsong Daoist said fiercely.
The Taoist Cangsong drew lightning from the sky and launched it at Wanzhong Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Wan Zhongshan immediately took out an enormous metal rod, then channeled a burst of spiritual energy into it, and forcefully plunged it into the floor tile.
Then Wan Zhongshan took a few steps back to get away from the metal rod, and a violent bolt of lightning struck him.
They had already crossed the metal bar; in just one more second, Wan Zhongshan would be killed.
However, at this moment, the metal rod suddenly burst out with a huge light, and then the lightning bolt changed direction and struck the metal rod.
Daoist Cangsong exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"
The lightning struck the metal rod and then disappeared along the ground; it was clearly a lightning rod of magical quality.
"Haha, I knew you had a supreme sword technique, the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique. This treasure was specially made by me." Wan Zhongshan laughed heartily.
"Haha, now it's my turn." Wan Zhongshan was prepared to finish off Cangsong quickly and run away, otherwise he couldn't take on the entire Qingyun Sect by himself.
"Beast, come out." Wan Zhongshan raised his right hand, which had transformed into flames. Suddenly, the flames detached from Wan Zhongshan's arm and flew into the sky.
"Clang—Clang!" The loud chirping sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The ball of flame transformed into a phoenix, mysterious and elegant, its entire body bathed in flames, unleashing a powerful aura.
Lin Qing frowned slightly: "A phoenix? I didn't expect that there would be someone in that world who could enslave a phoenix?"
Lin Qing also noticed something unusual. The phoenix's eyes were somewhat dull and lacked any spirit, clearly indicating that it was a divine beast without intelligence.
When the phoenix appeared, everyone was extremely shocked, especially Cangsong, who was facing this divine beast directly. Cangsong was under all the pressure from the phoenix.
"How is that possible? A phoenix has appeared in the world? I've never heard of a phoenix existing in our world." Cold sweat broke out on Cangsong's forehead.
Feeling the phoenix's overwhelming aura, Cangsong knew that he would definitely die if he faced the phoenix.
Just as Cangsong was about to retreat back to the high platform, an unusually arrogant voice rang out.
Liu Shui, standing among the disciples, suddenly laughed arrogantly: "Haha, Wang Batian's lackey, you're dead now."
Just as everyone was wondering about Liu Shui's behavior, a bead on Liu Shui's chest floated up out of thin air.
"My body is finally mine again, hahaha." A fiery red figure flew out of the bead and into the sky.
At this moment, two divine phoenixes appeared in the sky, both of them radiating flames and possessing a mysterious and elegant appearance.
Wan Zhongshan suddenly pointed at the newly appeared phoenix and said in fear, "How is this possible? You, weren't you dead? Didn't His Majesty already smash your soul to pieces?"
"Damn it, bring the slave beast back, bring it back!" Wan Zhongshan immediately gave the order, telling the slave beast to return to his control and then log off immediately.
In this way, he could immediately leave the world of Jade Dynasty, and Zhou Hong would have no chance to reclaim Phoenix's body.
"Hmph, it's too late." Zhou Hong, in his soul form, transformed into a streak of red light and flashed into the phoenix's body.
A louder cry rang out, and the phoenix's eyes regained their luster. Zhou Hong had successfully regained his body.
Zhou Hong looked at Wan Zhongshan with disdain: "Without Wang Batian, no one is my match. Go back and tell your master that one day I will go back to take revenge. Now, get out of here."
Zhou Hong didn't want to kill Wan Zhongshan, but this was a game world, and he couldn't kill him. Taking action would also consume energy, and he needed to break free from the control as soon as possible.
