“The secret realm is about to open!”
Niu Lansan spoke as he stared at the golden light outside the city.
Hearing that the secret realm was about to open, Lu Ming quickly turned to Diao San: “Have you prepared the things I asked you to?”
Diao San nodded repeatedly. “All ready. Every single one is a large-capacity storage bag.”
As he spoke, Diao San pulled out a stack of storage bags.
“Pass them out, pass them out. Two for each person.”
Everyone looked confused. They couldn't understand why Lu Ming was giving them two large-capacity storage bags.
After Diao San distributed the storage bags to everyone, Lu Ming pulled out a large gold chair and stood on it.
“Everyone, the secret realm is about to open. I'll say a few brief words...”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Niu Lansan and the others all looked up at him, wondering what instructions the Great Sect Master had for them.
“Ahem... cough... This is the first time our Heavenly Demon Sect is entering a secret realm as a group. Here are a few things to keep in mind.”
Lu Ming cleared his throat and spoke. “First—”
“Great Sect Master, that's two sentences already.”
Stunned at being interrupted, Lu Ming turned to look at Fei Jiujin: “You corporate rookie, don't you know that interrupting a leader's speech is extremely disrespectful? The leader will make life very difficult for you.”
“Besides, my 'few words' doesn't literally mean two sentences.”
Fei Jiujin blinked, looking completely bewildered. “Great Sect Master, I can't wear tight shoes. My feet are too big...”
He even glanced down at his large feet as he spoke.
Lu Ming choked. This guy clearly hadn't experienced the harsh beatings of society. No, he had to give him a proper reality check.
At that thought, Lu Ming let out a sinister grin. “Fei Jiujin, your punishment is no food for you today.”
“What?”
Fei Jiujin couldn't help but cry out, immediately backing down. “Great Sect Master, I was wrong.”
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Making life difficult is indeed terrifying.
However, Lu Ming ignored him and continued to speak: “Now, let me lay out a few points...”
“First, fill up the storage bags in your hands as much as possible. Grab whatever is in the secret realm.”
“You all know our sect was just established and we lack everything. Once we find a place to set up our headquarters, we'll need all the resources we can get.”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, everyone looked at the storage bags in their hands, their lips twitching. These were two extra-large storage bags. Filling them up would be no easy feat!
But fortunately, the Great Sect Master hadn't specified what to put inside. If all else failed, they could just pack a few mountains from the secret realm.
Soon, Lu Ming's voice rang out again: “Also, you know that our Heavenly Demon Sect has just been founded. We have no backing, no background, and no strength. Once we enter the secret realm, try not to make enemies.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded again. They all knew this was the Heavenly Demon Sect's weakness.
But right then, Lu Ming's voice suddenly grew sharp and fierce: “However, if anyone dares to bully us, don't be afraid. Strike when you must.”
“Once you strike, whether it's a sneak attack or a blow to the back of the head, you must grind their bones to ashes and leave absolutely no loose ends.”
Hearing this, everyone stared at Lu Ming with wide eyes. Is this really okay?
Meeting their gazes, Lu Ming said, “There's nothing wrong with it. Although everyone's cultivation will be suppressed to the same level inside, many of those old monsters are just having their power capped. They will definitely progress much faster than us.”
Niu Lansan and the others nodded in agreement. After all, those old monsters' physical strength alone was far superior to theirs.
Lu Ming swept his gaze over everyone and continued, “If we have to fight those old monsters, avoid direct head-on confrontations as much as possible. Underhanded lethal strikes aren't underhanded—it's called being smart.”
“Of course, if you encounter someone you can easily beat, fight them however you want. But you must leave no loose ends.”
Big Yellow looked at Lu Ming with sheer adoration. The boss spoke so well! This was exactly how it had survived by following the boss. If it hadn't listened to him, it would have been stewed in a hot pot long ago.
Seeing that Lu Ming had finished, Big Yellow quickly raised its front paws. “Woof, woof!!”
Clap, clap, clap.
Wang Defa watched Big Yellow's antics, his lips twitching. This dog really knows how to play.
Even so, he clapped along. Seeing this, Diao San quickly followed suit.
...In an instant, the entire courtyard erupted in applause.
Hearing the pleasing applause, Lu Ming almost couldn't resist speaking for a few more minutes. But he knew that official business was more important.
“Move out.”
Lu Ming waved his hand, leading everyone out of the courtyard.
However, they did not head toward the main city gate. Instead, they followed Niu Lansan to a small side gate.
“Brother Liu, let us through the gate.”
Niu Lansan handed over a storage bag.
The Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator named Brother Liu swept a glance inside, nodded with satisfaction, and opened the small gate.
While others were still queuing up to leave the city, Lu Ming and his group easily slipped out of Black Fiend City.
Once outside the city, Lu Ming turned to Diao San. “Take out the new spirit boat you bought. Let's give it a test run.”
“Sure thing.”
Diao San complied, pulling out the new spirit boat Lu Ming had instructed him to buy directly from his storage bag.
The moment the spirit boat appeared, Lu Ming's eyes widened. He stared at the spirit boat before him in utter disbelief.
It was much larger than the previous one, but why on earth was it still worn-out?!
Big Yellow's eyes also went perfectly round. Why did they buy another old one?
Seeing the expressions of the two sect masters, Diao San rejoiced in his heart. The two sect masters must really like it!
“Great Sect Master, Second Sect Master, look! I specifically had them age this spirit boat for us. It fits the low-profile, worn-out chic style you like, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Ming's lips twitched. He pointed at the spirit boat. “You specifically had them age it?”
Big Yellow was also utterly speechless. It now seriously doubted the IQ of their sect members.
Niu Lansan and the others didn't mind too much. As long as the Sect Master liked it, it was fine. They also assumed Lu Ming and the others preferred this style. After all, Lu Ming's previous spirit boat had looked exactly like this.
Diao San grinned and rubbed his hands together. “Yes, and I even paid extra for them to age it for us.”
Lu Ming stared at the sky, utterly speechless. He must have committed heinous crimes in his past life to end up with such disciples in this one.
But since it was already done, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, let's go. Move out...”
With that, Lu Ming was the first to step onto the spirit boat. Once aboard, he realized that although it had been artificially aged, it still had all the necessary features, and even had dedicated rooms reserved for him and Big Yellow.
However, he had clearly rejoiced too early.
Because the moment the spirit boat started up, a familiar sound echoed: “Clang-clank, clang-clank... rumble-rumble, rumble-rumble...”
The noise was exactly the same as his previous spirit boat, even matching the rhythm perfectly. In fact, it was even louder. Not only that, but when Lu Ming turned around, he saw the tail of the spirit boat throwing sparks and lightning all the way, billowing thick black smoke.
Big Yellow and Lu Ming exchanged a look. Boss, can we just disown these disciples?
Lu Ming nodded, wanting to cry but having no tears. He regretted it. Why did he have to establish a sect anyway? It was nothing but a magnet for trouble.
