Chapter 923: Who Is There?
Lan Ruojun and the others had roamed the Bound of Universe's martial world for a long time. He was no sect beginner in the manner of Yun Yang. He knew very well how hard it was to wish for an all-rounded talent like Qian Duoduo to grace a new and unrefined school.
It was always those battle prodigies who were high and mighty, spreading their name across the world, that came in droves to join a sect. Those who were at the pinnacle and those who ventured into the martial world enjoyed fame and reverence as the central figures of existence.
In spite of this, for a school to actually stretch its arms far and high, establish a secure foundation, and last for years to come, it would forever depend on prudent talents who worked endlessly in silence, not unlike Little Fatty!
Now, Little Fatty was still eloquent and talking incessantly, despite Yun Yang's snores.
"Since it is the Residence of Nine Supremes, after all, let us divide our disciples by clothing colors. My suggestion is to segregate them by red, orange, yellow, light green, green, blue, black, white, and violet - a total of nine colors. Only those who with positions have the right to wear violet while other disciples start from red... level by level..."
Little Fatty continued to speak about his plans ceaselessly, but he did even skip a beat. It was evident that he was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"You've worked hard!" Yun Yang exclaimed, "Little Fatty, don't forget to watch your cultivation base. The majordomo needs to meet guests often as well."
"I have a gem with me. My cultivation base won't be forgotten. After this hustle, I'll cultivate wholeheartedly. I know what to do!" Qian Duoduo replied while patting his puffed-up chest with confidence.
"I've completed the arrangements in the warehouse too. The resources you fellows brought back home have all been arranged and categorized... Things that need to be sold and things that we're keeping for our sect's usage are all categorized and kept as well. Just take them directly when it's time to use them."
"I have also set up the spiritual gathering formation in the spiritual herb garden, planting all the spiritual herb seeds as well. This is the key to our school's future development; this isn't a chore to be regarded lightly!"
...
When Little Fatty gleefully returned to rest in satisfaction after making his report, all four men, including Yun Yang himself, felt like their brains had been mixed by a ladle. It was hard to move even a single muscle to think.
Little Fatty had reported over a hundred matters at once, in addition to elaborating each concern with several main points, several minor points and even more minor details...
"The majordomo is truly a talent!" Lan Ruojun praised the man respectfully.
"Yes! An absolute genius!" Ren Qingkuang agreed, nodding violently.
Shi Wuchen was also impressed. "Brilliant! I see Little Fatty with brand new eyes now!"
...
Before the mountain's gate, the original peak had been split into two halves, exposing the smooth, rocky surface. The words Residence of Nine Supremes gleamed majestically and loftily on the surface of the rock, each word the size of a house. Even from hundreds of miles away, they could be seen clearly.
It sat tall on the peak, overlooking an area tens of thousands of miles wide.
It was a pity that such grandeur and solemnity reigned only in silence. The entire martial world had no idea that the Residence of Nine Supremes had already been formed and was ready to greet the world, taking its place in the great land of the Bound of Universe!
This day, a wild gale billowed as winds and clouds gathered as if giving a hint that there would be more blood and war in the Bound of Universe from now on.
It was also on this day's afternoon that two silhouettes passed by; like it had been forordained by fate, they saw the words Residence of Nine Supremes.
"Residence of Nine Supremes?" One of the frowned and questioned, "Since when is there a sect here? Why did we not hear anything about it?"
"How strange - tens of thousands of miles of territory belonging to the Cangwu Union. Since when did this sect exist and why do we not know about it?"
"Let's see how this Residence of Nine Supremes is like - what's the use if only its name is stately?"
The leading man was lean and had a long face like a horse, while another man was short and stumpy, with a round head, round face, round shoulders, round stomach, round waist, and round legs; the latter looked rather funny, but the sharp glint in his eyes was cold and icy.
"We, the Cangwu Union, are the last of the top ten lower class sects, but it's not challengeable by simply rotten tomatoes and eggs. Since this Residence of Nine Supremes appeared out of the blue so abruptly, its background must be significant. If it's left to grow and develop, it could very well be our biggest threat!"
"How can a mountain contain two tigers?"
Thinking of this, both men struck at the same time. They wanted to probe the Residence of Nine Supremes' power, but there was also the intention to commit murder.
The pair rushed towards the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain gate with an unusually formidable and forceful mystical Qi, their gazes brimming with a brutal sense of mockery.
'A sect that has just been formed?'
'Great, that's not bad at all!'
'Let's destroy their mountain gate first - demolish it, and see how your school survives.'
As a long-time top ten lower class Celestial Luck Banner sect disciple, it was obvious that both of these men had done similar things many times prior to this. They were more than familiar with the process.
This had been an ongoing phenomenon in the Bound of Universe since the beginning of time. Every day, similar things were happening countless times.
To the flagged sects' disciples, it made sense to eliminate any potential threat.
These two men had torn down plenty of schools, thus they were confident in striking this time. However, once they did, they were completely baffled!
The Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain gate that bore the brunt of the pair's powerful attack was unscathed!
Their combined attack that contained enough force to quake and uproot a mountain actually vanished without a sound! It was futile!
The guarding formation of the Residence of Nine Supremes did not even shudder!
Shock was simultaneously written across their faces. They were no longer as contemptuous as before, immediately losing their overbearing smugness. Exchanging a glance, they saw the terror mirrored in each other's eyes.
This sect must be quite extraordinary!
Immediately, sirens blared in their mind.
If it were within another sect's territory, it was fine. Yet, it was unmistakably situated within the Cangwu Union and now was the delicate time of competing for the lower class banner; it was hard to say who would emerge the flag bearer ultimately!
Once the Residence of Nine Supremes came into the picture, Cangwu Union would undoubtedly be the first to suffer, given its proximity to the former.
If the Residence of Nine Supremes were to participate in the Celestial Luck Banner contest, its target would definitely be the Cangwu Union!
Although they knew nothing about this Residence of Nine Supremes, there was a clue to the whole picture - the sect's guarding formation was already indestructible! Who would know or imagine what was the true force of the Residence of Nine Supremes? What could its level be?
The threat was enormous - so much so that it threatened the Cangwu Union's future!
They were just passing by and had simply extended a curious probe, but now their curiousity had turned into their enemy!
Then, the fog around the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain gate quietly parted to allow a distant voice to echo in the air, "Who dares barge into my mountain gate?"
The horse-faced man took in a deep breath and said, "Who is it? How dare you open a sect in the land of my Cangwu Union? Your action has breached the dignity of my sect - what shall your offense be?"
A clear voice replied from the school, "How absurd! The inaugurating Celestial Luck Banner allows and verifies my establishment of a sect here, and validates my starting efforts. Who are you to criticize me here?"
