My Sect is Awesome

Chapter 8: The One-Year Agreement

Translator: Krukist

Ling Fei Wu stood behind Wang Feng, her eyes wide with shock as she witnessed the scene before her. A great demon, at least at the peak Sovereign Realm and once a peak Profound Sovereign Realm, had been easily pierced through? What kind of divine sect had she stumbled into? The Divine Immortal Sect truly lived up to its name.

Her thoughts swirled in disbelief as she realized she had unknowingly joined an ancient, hidden sect.

Wang Feng, glancing at the newly arrived Ximen Chuixue, smiled and said, "Elder Ximen, you've arrived at just the right time!"

Even Wang Feng had not anticipated Ximen Chuixue's overwhelming power. The Sword God had struck so swiftly that not even a former peak Profound Sovereign could react. Ximen Chuixue's abilities were far beyond what Wang Feng had expected.

"How is this possible? How could a Profound Sovereign expert appear here?" Xuan Sha, now clutching the wound in his chest, muttered in disbelief, his arrogance shattered. The bloodied chest made him look vulnerable, a far cry from the powerful demon he once was.

Xuan Sha had thought a peak Sovereign Realm expert appearing here was beyond comprehension, but a Profound Sovereign Realm expert? It was unthinkable. Ximen Chuixue's strike had been so fast that even Xuan Sha, despite his past as a peak Profound Sovereign, had been unable to block it. His mind raced—had he provoked an ancient sect?

Wang Feng, sensing the tension, coolly addressed Xuan Sha, "I'll give you two choices. One: join my Divine Immortal Sect. Two: I'll have Elder Ximen and Elder Ye take you down." His voice was steady, and the presence of the two sword gods beside him made his words even more formidable.

Wang Feng had always scorned the so-called "righteous" and "demonic" factions. He saw no clear line between them; some righteous cultivators were more demonic than demons, while some demons had their own set of principles. Xuan Sha, despite his arrogance, had not overstepped any major boundaries—yet.

"If you're a demon, I'll kill you after recruiting you for sect points. If not, you'll be a valuable addition to the Divine Immortal Sect." Wang Feng didn't care either way; the sect's growth mattered more.

"You're shameless!!" Xuan Sha hissed, his blood-red eyes glaring with fury. Never had he been so humiliated, not even by the Radiant Sun Emperor. Wang Feng's casual offer to gang up on him with two sword gods only added insult to injury.

Although the cultivation world followed the law of the strong preying on the weak, there were still unspoken rules. Wang Feng's blatant coercion shattered those, and Xuan Sha, a demon, could barely tolerate the insult.

But despite his fury, Xuan Sha could feel the weight of Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng's auras pressing in on him. The sharpness of their swords made him uneasy, especially Ximen Chuixue's unpredictable swordplay. Ximen Chuixue's abilities seemed to transcend the usual understanding of swordsmanship, leaving Xuan Sha with no illusion that he could defeat him.

"I'll give you a year," Wang Feng proposed, noting the conflicting emotions building within Xuan Sha. "Join the Divine Immortal Sect for one year. If, after that year, you want to leave, you can."

Wang Feng's offer was shrewd. His goal was twofold: first, to recruit a powerful expert and earn the sect points; second, to test whether Xuan Sha was truly evil. If he was, Wang Feng would deal with him.

Xuan Sha hesitated, his mind wrestling with the options before him. If he went all out, there was a slim chance he could escape, albeit injured. But his escape would surely attract his enemies, leaving him vulnerable. Joining the sect, on the other hand, could give him time to recover.

"I agree to join for one year," Xuan Sha finally relented, albeit reluctantly. His pride as the Great Demon Xuan Sha made the agreement bitter, but survival was more important.

"Good. For this year, you must follow my orders within your capabilities." Wang Feng's tone was cold yet commanding. "And if your old nemesis detects your presence, I can help you deal with him."

Xuan Sha nodded stiffly, recognizing the practical benefits of the deal. If Wang Feng's help could shield him from his enemies, it was worth a temporary submission.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully recruiting the Great Demon Xuan Sha. Reward: 10,000 sect points and one random summoning opportunity!" The system's notification rang in Wang Feng's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

This was a rare opportunity. Recruiting such a powerful figure would not only boost the sect's strength but also bring in a large number of sect points. Wang Feng realized that recruiting experts with both strong cultivation and vast experience was key.

Turning to Xuan Sha, Wang Feng asked, "Earlier, you mentioned 'snacks.' What did you mean by that?"

Xuan Sha flinched, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto his face. "Ahem... It's just a habit. I like to scare people with that phrase, but I don't actually eat them. Despite being a demon, I'm not that insane. And with my talent, I don't need to cultivate such demonic techniques."

Wang Feng, skeptical, turned to the system for confirmation. "System, is that true?"

"True," the system replied coolly.

Wang Feng's expression twitched. The Great Demon Xuan Sha, once a peak Profound Sovereign, had resorted to scaring people with "snack" talk for fun? He couldn't help but shake his head at the absurdity of it all.

Xuan Sha, feeling Wang Feng's gaze, remained silent. His dignity as a great demon prevented him from admitting how twisted his habits were.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei Wu and Li Qing, standing behind Wang Feng, watched in awe. With just a few words, Wang Feng had turned the tide, forcing a peak Sovereign expert to join the Divine Immortal Sect. They couldn't help but admire him. To them, Wang Feng now seemed like the true powerhouse.

In their hearts, Wang Feng had become a heavenly figure, embodying the essence of strength and leadership.
