The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

This feeling made He Kaoshan extremely uncomfortable.

He himself is a Heavenly Immortal, the Sect Master of Kao Shan Sect. How could he allow a newly joined disciple to disturb his peace of mind?

This is a disgrace!

"Looks like, I cannot keep you!" He Kaoshan narrowed his eyes, the originally sharp and artistically refined face turned somewhat ferocious.

...

"Xiao Hei, my benefactor, I've handled it." Two days later, Tang Rao was sunbathing in the courtyard with a fool when Li Shengxuan suddenly shouted from inside the portable palace.

Tang Rao was so startled that he almost jumped up.

"What have you handled?" Tang Rao's consciousness sank into the portable palace.

"The Kao Shan Shield!" Li Shengxuan said excitedly.

As soon as Li Shengxuan finished speaking, Tang Rao felt a tremor from the depths of his soul.

"What is this?" Tang Rao was stunned for a moment, the next moment, a flood of information poured into Tang Rao's mind.

It was all about the Kao Shan Shield, starting from its origin to every previous owner, almost everything was recorded.

"Damn, fifty thousand years ago..." Tang Rao swallowed his saliva, yes, the Kao Shan Sect originated fifty thousand years ago, its first owner was an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse.

Each subsequent owner was basically at the level of Immortal Monarch or Immortal Emperor.

The last owner before Tang Rao was Yu Zhi, the founder of Kao Shan Sect.

That was an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse! During the era of Yu Zhi, the Kao Shan Sect was truly a major Sect, standing at the peak in the Land of Immortals.

After Yu Zhi, no one else could possess the Kao Shan Shield, and thus the Kao Shan Sect also declined.

As time passed, the existence of the Kao Shan Shield was gradually weakened, and even the members of Kao Shan Sect were not aware of its glorious history.

Even He Kaoshan knew only a little bit.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given the Kao Shan Shield to Lu Jun as a reward.

The Kao Shan Shield is not just any simple Immortal Treasure, from its origin until now, each owner was either an Immortal Monarch or an Immortal Emperor, it's simply resplendent.

Of course, what Tang Rao is more interested in now is why Li Shengxuan could make the Kao Shan Shield recognize him as its master.

For a treasure of this level, there is generally a consciousness that chooses its master, and it must be someone approved by the artifact itself, otherwise, it would absolutely not recognize a master, even if it remained dormant for ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years.

"Shengxuan, how did you make the Kao Shan Shield recognize me as its master?" Tang Rao asked.

"This... I'm not exactly sure either, I only know how to activate the Kao Shan Shield. After activating it, I infused your Essence Blood into the shield. The Kao Shan Shield would then use the Essence Blood to determine if you meet the requirements to be recognized as its master, perhaps Xiao Hei, my benefactor, you have Ancient Spiritual Roots, definitely have enough talent, so, the Kao Shan Shield chose you," Li Shengxuan explained.

Tang Rao nodded, this explanation was probably the most acceptable one.

"Brother Tang, come on, get up, stop sunbathing." In the courtyard, Lu Jun babbled loudly.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes and looked towards Lu Jun who rushed in hurriedly.

"What's up?"

"What do you mean 'what's up'? The Sect Master is summoning all the disciples. Kao Shan Sect is preparing for war, planning to join forces with Yijian Sect to launch the final assault on Lingxiao Mountain, saying that they want to completely wipe out Lingxiao Mountain in one fell swoop," Lu Jun said.

Tang Rao was stunned for a moment, Kao Shan Sect cooperating with Yijian Sect?

He had not heard of this at all, it's too sudden.

In Tang Rao's world, everything is connected, everything has a trail to follow.

"Just like how if you pooped a lot today, double your usual amount, it means you overate yesterday. From this, I could infer you were probably in a good mood yesterday, maybe out dining with friends..."

"Is this what He Kaoshan said?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yeah, that message just came from the Sect Master's order, calling everyone to gather at the square," Lu Jun said.

Tang Rao nodded, "Alright, let's go then."

Soon, all members of the Earth Sect had arrived at the square. By the time they got there, many people were already there, each one looking extremely excited.

Tang Rao had no idea what these people were so excited about. Have they lost their minds? This is about to be a deadly fight against Lingxiao Mountain.

Lingxiao Mountain is already on the brink of danger, teetering on the edge. At times like this, their counterattacks are the fiercest.

Just charging in like this, the losses would definitely be huge, and the mortality rate extremely high.

You guys are truly fearless, not afraid of dying at all...

"Lu Jun, Chef, later on, if you can avoid it, avoid it. Don't go dying unnecessarily. There's absolutely no need for this, and it's pointless," Tang Rao said.

Lu Jun and the Chef both nodded in agreement.

As for the Fool and the Madman, Tang Rao knew they wouldn't volunteer to join the battle unless prompted.

"Members of the Kao Shan Sect!" Half an hour later, when almost everyone had arrived, He Kaoshan towered above and shouted loudly.

The scene immediately quieted down.

"Everyone here is probably aware of the recent major battle between Yijian Sect and Lingxiao Mountain. Now, this fight has reached its final stage. Lingxiao Mountain is about to collapse, and at this critical moment, My Mountain Sect is preparing to join forces with Yijian Sect for the final strike to decidedly eradicate Lingxiao Mountain!" He Kaoshan exclaimed.

Below him, the cheers erupted, the crowd's emotions running high.

Tang Rao didn't even feel like cursing. Are these people morons...

"I can already feel everyone's excitement, good. Now, let's proceed with the appointments!" He Kaoshan continued, "Our Kao Shan Sect consists of five branches: Gold Sect, Wood Sect, Water Sect, Fire Sect, each branch should provide two hundred cultivators of at least the fifth level of Earth Immortal and above."

"Sect Master, what about the Earth Sect?" Upon hearing He Kaoshan's words, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, there are only a few people in the Earth Sect..."

"Isn't that right, ideally adding Elder Niu Ben makes six..."

"Including the Fool and the Madman."

Many people started laughing, though they only dared to mock the Madman, the Fool, the Chef, or Tang Rao. No one dared to make fun of Lu Jun.

You see, Lu Jun had single-handedly flipped over sixty sect members before.

That record was absolutely top-notch.

"With the limited number of people in the Earth Sect, we will not demand two hundred people. However, since the Earth Sect is also a branch of Kao Shan Sect, at least two must participate in combat. As for who, you can decide yourselves," He Kaoshan declared.

"That's just cunning." Tang Rao muttered under his breath, he thought they'd have the freedom to choose, but they pulled this move.

Now, the Earth Sect had to send people no matter what.

"Now, begin the selection, step forward, and we move out in one hour!" He Kaoshan simply announced. Yes, they were going today.

Tang Rao's frown deepened even more. This situation was getting stranger by the minute.

He always felt some ill intent from He Kaoshan.

"Brother Tang, what do we do now?" Lu Jun looked at Tang Rao. Honestly, he didn't want to fight against Lingxiao Mountain either. Peace was so much better.

Is living happily and peacefully not good enough? Why must there be constant fighting and killing...

"What can we do? He Kaoshan has already played his hand, we obviously can't refuse," Tang Rao shrugged, his eyes squinting.
