The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Soon, except for the Earth Sect, people from the other four branches had all gathered.

There were a total of eight hundred people, looking very mighty and formidable.

This force basically constituted the backbone of the Kao Shan Sect, as those who remained were all cultivators of the human immortal level.

"Elder Niu Ben, what does the Earth Sect say?" Seeing that no one from the Earth Sect had come forward, He Kaoshan turned to Niu Ben and asked.

"Sect Master, there are only a few of us in the Earth Sect, perhaps just let me go alone," Niu Ben said.

"Indeed, you must go, but the Earth Sect must send out two more people. The Earth Sect is an indispensable part of the Kao Shan Sect, and this battle concerns the future of our sect; every branch must participate. The starry-eyed one and the madman have innate deficiencies, so I think, let Tang Rao and the Chef fight," He Kaoshan directly named them.

Tang Rao's eyes narrowed even tighter.

He had always felt that there was something unusual about this, and now, it seemed that this might indeed be a trap.

A trap set by He Kaoshan.

To specifically name him to go was truly too odd.

"Sect Master, considering the uniqueness of the Earth Sect, I think it would suffice to send only Elder Niu Ben. After all, the addition of one or two people is unlikely to affect the outcome of the battle," Sun Kuangjiang spoke up, advocating for Tang Rao and the others.

"Elder Sun, our Kao Shan Sect has always treated everyone equally. Since this is a battle that concerns the future of the entire Kao Shan Sect, all Kao Shan Sect disciples naturally should participate. To shirk and evade, what kind of Kao Shan Sect disciples does that make them! Today, if the Earth Sect does not send people, then I will directly disband it," He Kaoshan shouted loudly, his gaze exceptionally sharp.

Sun Kuangjiang's brows deeply furrowed.

Has He Kaoshan gone mad...

"Hey hey hey, Sect Master, please calm your anger, please calm your anger..." At this moment, Tang Rao stepped forward, with a brilliant smile on his face.

All eyes focused on Tang Rao.

"The Sect Master might have misunderstood. Since it's a matter involving the future of the Kao Shan Sect, we as members of the sect would naturally participate enthusiastically. We didn't step forward not because we were unwilling, but because the competition was too intense. Everyone wanted to go, everyone wanted to claim the spots for battle," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Turning black into white.

Many people looked astounded, this matter being put in such a light by Tang Rao was enough, forcibly transforming the reluctance to fight into everyone being too eager, fiercely vying with each other.

One really has no choice but to admire him.

"Sect Master, how about this, besides Elder Niu Ben, there are six of us in total in the Earth Sect, and each of us harbors a heart for battle. Why don't we allow all six of us to participate? The other branches will send out two hundred people each; even though we are fewer and even though our strength isn't strong, a single spark can start a prairie fire, we are willing to shine and contribute to the Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao said very seriously, sounding quite grand.

He Kaoshan's gaze flickered slightly, what is this kid Tang Rao trying to do?

He didn't believe that Tang Rao was unaware of the danger of this war, and the reason the Earth Sect was reluctant to come forward was also because Tang Rao knew the risks involved.

So why now is he asking for everyone to go? This clearly didn't make sense.

"Sect Master, please agree to us, we are serious, we are filled with passion!" Tang Rao shouted.

The more Tang Rao said this, the more uneasy He Kaoshan felt in his heart, God knows what kind of trickery this kid was up to.

Just look at the Yijian Sect and Lingxiao Mountain, they were in deep strife all because of Tang Rao's schemes.

It is precisely because of this that He Kaoshan found Tang Rao to be a danger.

Cleverness, too, is a sin.

"Since that is the case, then let Earth Sect, all go." He Kaoshan eventually nodded. Since you all insist, then go.

Originally, he had wanted to keep Lu Jun behind, seeing as the young man was quite talented.

If you want to follow Tang Rao to your deaths, be my guest, I'll have plenty of geniuses once my plan is complete!

In the Land of Immortals, what's never lacking are so-called geniuses. But for a genius to achieve success and fame, the first requirement is to live a long life.

"Brother Tang, why must we go..." As the group set out on their journey, Lu Jun asked in a soft voice.

The people of Earth Sect followed at the end of the procession, with nobody paying attention to their conversation.

"We have no choice but to go. Besides, I think since the Sect Master has requested it, we should respond in kind. We are Kao Shan Sect disciples, and we should strive for the rise of the Kao Shan Sect." Tang Rao said.

Lu Jun glanced at Tang Rao skeptically.

Bro, how can you say such things without any shame, your face isn't even turning red, impressive.

"Bro, can you be normal for a moment?"

"If someone wants to play games, then let's play along. Regardless, the Sect Master would always find a reason to send me. Rather than going alone, why not bring you guys along? We're all from the same sect, we should look out for each other." Tang Rao replied with a smile.

Lu Jun and Chef: "..."

Fools and madmen, on the other hand, were excitedly observing everything around them. Rarely having opportunities to socialize or leave, they were extremely curious about the outside world.

"Tang Rao, do you mean to say there's something fishy about this whole situation?" The Chef leaned closer to Tang Rao, asking quietly.

"Well, I believe there are no coincidences in this world. The whole situation reeks of strangeness. Lingxiao Mountain is on the brink of collapse, and yet Yijian Sect is allying with our Kao Shan Sect at this juncture, don't you find that odd? It's like being on the verge of completing a business deal, about to make a million Immortal Stones, but then you bring in a so-called partner to split the profit, does that make sense?" Tang Rao asked.

The Chef fell silent; indeed, it made no sense at all.

"Alright, I don't know what will become of this matter just yet, let's just see how things go." Tang Rao waved his hand. He only knew so much about the oddity of the situation, he wasn't a fortune teller with all the answers.

Around two hours later, over eight hundred individuals from Kao Shan Sect arrived at a mountain ravine crowded with many others, all from Yijian Sect.

Yijian Sect had clearly arrived there before Kao Shan Sect.

"Master He." A middle-aged man emerged from amidst the Yijian Sect, appearing to be around the same age as He Kaoshan, but with a much stronger aura.

Of course, it would be hard to tell who was more powerful if He Kaoshan did not conceal his strength.

"Master Jin." He Kaoshan nodded, giving Jin Muyang a greeting.

"Master He, in this cooperation between Yijian Sect and Kao Shan Sect, I believe, given Lingxiao Mountain's current strength, we should be able to make quick work of them." Jin Muyang stated.

"Of course, Master Jin's swordsmanship is divine. Yijian Sect alone could obliterate Lingxiao Mountain. Our Kao Shan Sect is simply picking up an easy victory this time," He Kaoshan said with a smile, in a sycophantic manner.

"Hahaha, Master He is too modest. The Kao Shan Sect was once a top force; though now fallen, I believe that one day, it will surely return to its former glory," Jin Muyang declared.

The two exchanged pleasantries, which were essentially empty words, and of course, just for the sake of conversation—nobody believed them…
