C86 Nie Li
When Elder Devil Shi Ji really left, Nie Zhen and the other two rested for a while before returning to their Guiyan City.
Actually, it was a rest, but it was mainly to let Nie Zhen recover his strength. In that split-second battle just now, Officer Ye and Deacon Han didn't actually participate in the battle.
"Little Zhen, what happened?!" When Nie Zhen returned to the Nie Mansion, he saw Nie Xiaoqi, accompanied by Murong Lee, standing at the Nie Mansion door and looking over.
Looking at Nie Xiaoqi's face, Nie Zhen knew that Nie Zhuang didn't tell Nie Xiaoqi the truth. He was probably afraid that Nie Xiaoqi would be worried. He smiled at his sister and said, "It's okay. Elder Devil Shi Ji is here, but he's gone now."
Seeing that Nie Zhen was uninjured, Nie Xiaoqi let out a sigh of relief and quickly brought Nie Zhen and Deacon Han into the residence.
Nie Zhuang was relieved when he saw how Nie Zhen and the others looked. At least they didn't suffer any losses.
"Deacon Han, Young Fellow Taoist Nie, from the looks of Elder Devil Shi Ji before he left, I'm afraid he won't let this matter go so easily." Officer Ye's eyes were old. From Elder Devil Shi Ji's appearance, Ye Zichen could tell that he wasn't going to let Elder Devil Shi Ji go.
Nie Zhen also nodded. Before Elder Devil Shi Ji left, Nie Zhen clearly felt his murderous aura and was afraid that he wouldn't give up so easily.
Deacon Han deeply agreed and solemnly said to Wu Tie: "Brother Nie, as of now, you can only quickly follow me to the Duobao Sect. As long as you enter the Duobao Sect, even if Elder Devil Shi Ji has the guts, he won't dare to find trouble with you or your family."
Officer Ye also added: "Deacon Han is right. Once you join Duobao Sect, your family members will be taken care of by Duobao Sect. Then Elder Devil Shi Ji wouldn't dare to come even if he had the guts."
Nie Zhen nodded his head. Since he was going to the Duobao Sect anyways, it didn't matter if he went early or late. After bidding farewell to his father and sister, he prepared to head to Duobao Sect with Deacon Han.
As a cultivator, Nie Zhen did not need to bring along any worldly possessions. Although Nie Xiaoqi was reluctant, she knew that if Nie Zhen wanted to improve, sooner or later he would have to jump out of the Subordinate Country's constraints.
"Don't worry about Little Zhen, a good man has his heart set. If he's stuck in a small place like Yutang Country for his entire life, that's what would make people worry!" Although Nie Zhuang didn't want to part with Nie Zhen, he was a man after all. When he broke off, he lost Nie Xiaoqi's girls' mentality.
"That's right. Besides, I think the one who needs to worry is someone else. This brother-in-law of mine, when did he suffer a loss?" Murong Lee has always been full of confidence in Nie Zhen.
"Oh right, Big Brother Han, I would like to ask, can I bring a horse with me? It's actually my partner. " After he subdued Geng, other than the time he rescued Nie Xiaoqi, he had not cultivated with Geng Geng at all. Geng Geng's talent was pretty good, Nie Zhen could tell, and wasting time on Yutang Country was too much of a pity.
Han Fei nodded his head and said, "There are cultivators that can subdue their spirit beast companions. This is not a problem, not to mention you can't fly in the air. On this trip to Duobao Sect, you must at least have some foot strength, right?"
Nie Zhen happily brought Geng Geng out from the backyard. Geng Geng was naturally very happy when he told Geng Geng that they would take him to train in Duobao Sect. Although Nie Family had a lot of feelings for Geng Geng, the one he was closest to was Nie Zhen.
Seeing that Nie Zhen and Han Fei were about to leave, Officer Ye finally left the Guiyan City. Nie Zhen was extremely grateful to Officer Ye and knew that he had taken care of the Nie Family.
Nie Zhen and Han Fei left for Duobao Sect that very night. This journey not only required one to pass through the entire Yutang Country, but also required one to travel across dozens of Subordinate Country before one could officially enter the territory of the Duobao Sect.
As the journey was long, even Han Fei, who was in the middle of performing Trial Convention back then, received the order to rush towards Yutang Country without stopping. However, by the time he reached the Yutang Country, it was already over ten days time.
However, just as Nie Zhen left the Yutang Country, he felt a wave of extremely powerful aura approaching him.
Looking up into the sky, he saw a figure heading towards him at an extremely fast speed. Before Nie Zhen could react, that person had already landed in front of Nie Zhen and Han Fei.
Han Fei saw him and quickly knelt down to greet him, "We pay our respects to the Second Sect Master!"
After bowing, Han Fei immediately reminded Nie Zhen: "Brother Nie, this person is my Duobao Sect's second sect master!"
Nie Zhen then bowed to the Second Sect Master, "Junior pays his respect to the Second Sect Master."
The second sect master of the Duobao Sect, Duan Rong, had a resolute face and a short black beard. From the outside, he looked like a middle-aged man, but he held a high position in the Duobao Sect.
When the Second Sect Master first found out that Yutang Country had produced Nie Zhen, he fought with the other four Wu steelmakers over him within the Duobao Sect. Relying on his many years of face, he finally managed to steal Nie Zhen into his own name, and after finding out that Elder Devil Shi Ji was eyeing Nie Zhen, he was afraid that Elder Devil Shi Ji would harm this person.
When Duan Rong saw Nie Zhen, he sized him up and down. The more he looked, the happier he became, Nie Zhen was even more outstanding than the legendary people. He was only fifteen years old, yet was actually able to cultivate to Ninth Level of the Earth Stage at a place like Subordinate Country.
"Ha ha-ha, good! "Nie Zhen, even this old man is jealous of your talent. Deacon Han, what do you think?"
How could Han Fei not understand Duan Rong's meaning? He quickly replied, "That's right, Sun Tie is really something. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make an expert like Cai Saangzi teach him at such a young age. Even the famous expert Elder Devil Shi Ji couldn't do anything about him."
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad! Nie Zhen, in the past twenty years, you are the only person who made me want to take you in as my disciple. I am commonly known as Duan Rong. Duan Rong directly expressed his wish to accept a disciple.2
Acknowledged a master?
Nie Zhen didn't have this kind of thought before. Although he could enter the Duobao Sect, joining a sect was one thing, and taking one as his teacher was another.
Joining a sect is for the sake of better resources and conditions, and can also quickly broaden your horizons, but taking a master is different, it's a kind of responsibility and obligation, moreover if you don't know how to appreciate favors, you don't need Nie Zhen to take a master, that's not suitable for anyone, you don't have high martial virtue, how can you make Nie Zhen be willing?
More importantly, once he took a master, wouldn't he be stuck in the sect for the rest of his life? Nie Zhen was naturally free to do what he wanted, not to mention that his eyes were set on the entire universe. How could he be trapped in a sect?
Therefore, when the Second Sect Master asked him to accept a disciple, Nie Zhen hesitated.
Han Fei saw the faint hint of rejection between Nie Zhen's brows and was shocked. He hurriedly said, "Brother Nie, what kind of illustrious position does second master Duobao Sect have? How many people would like to ask him for guidance? What are you hesitating for?"
The Second Sect Master did not rush Nie Zhen. Honestly speaking, if Nie Zhen immediately kowtowed to Nie Zhen as soon as he heard of his invitation, he would be unhappy.
In the cultivation world, if a young person followed too many rules and regulations, they wouldn't be able to achieve much. Often, a young person with personality and thoughts would have much higher achievements when they grew up.
In this world, there were two ways to go about becoming a disciple and a disciple. Many people, upon seeing someone stronger than them, would immediately bow down and acknowledge them as their master. These kinds of people would never have any future in their lives.
"Hehe, that's fine. It's normal for youngsters to have some ideas. You can think about it and not rush to answer this old man." Duan Rong chuckled and didn't put any pressure on Nie Zhen. He added, "If you have any ideas or requests, you can tell me. I'm not afraid of you having any ideas, I'm only afraid that you'll accept them."
These words were extremely magnanimous, and it earned Nie Zhen a good impression. He originally thought that the grand second master of the Duobao Sect would have a high position, and even if he wasn't arrogant, he would at least have his own pride. He didn't expect Duan Rong's second master to be so courteous and kind.
Nie Zhen pondered for a moment and said bluntly, "Second Sect Master sincerely invites me, if junior says no, then it would be because I do not know how to appreciate favors. Nie Zhen pondered for a moment and then said bluntly," Second Sect Master sincerely invites me, if junior says no, then it would be because I do not know how to appreciate favors.
The moment Nie Zhen's words came out, Han Fei's face went deathly pale. In his opinion, Nie Zhen's words were too presumptuous.
Unexpectedly, the two sect masters started to ponder and were even a little surprised. He did not expect that Nie Zhen, this young man, would be so resolute.
The Second Sect Master thought for a while and said, "Alright! Nie Zhen, I understand your thoughts. What do you think? You don't need to call me out for daily affairs of Duobao Sect, and you don't need to take responsibility for any other trivial matters of Duobao Sect, unless it is a major matter of the sect, you don't need to attend. I'll teach you my mantras, and you and I will inherit my title of master and disciple.
After hearing what the Second Sect Master said, Han Fei was instantly speechless. This Nie Zhen is your Second Sect Master's illegitimate child, how is this a condition for a Duobao Sect disciple?!
Han Fei was afraid that Nie Zhen would hesitate further and immediately said, "Brother Nie, the condition that Second Sect Master gave you is unprecedented, what are you still considering!"
Nie Zhen also felt that the condition that the Second Sect Master gave him was already very excellent, and he reckoned that by giving him this kind of condition, he would have to bear the great pressure from the sect. Nie Zhen also felt that the condition that the Second Sect Master gave him was already very excellent, and he would probably have to bear the great pressure of the sect by giving him this kind of condition.
