When Mi Fukan appeared, Ba Wang's gaze turned slightly sinister.
This dead bald monk dared to block his way for so many days. But honestly speaking, Mi Fukan was truly powerful—his mysterious Monk Buddha Spirit Technique always left one feeling uncertain about how to deal with it.
As for Ji Yongye, upon seeing Mi Fukan, he immediately rushed over.
Originally, Ji Yongye was quite annoyed with Mi Fukan because Tang Rao had been divvied up. Initially, Ji was supposed to the sole Honorary Elder of Unrivaled Saber Sect, but now Luo Sheng Hall was added, splitting the honor in two, thus diluting its value.
However, every time he went to the forty-fourth floor afterward and saw Ba Wang beaten black and blue by Mi Fukan, he felt less bothered.
At least, this dead bald monk was reliable.
"Hehe, Baldy, we've hit the jackpot this time. Look up, keep looking up," Ji Yongye patted Mi Fukan's shoulder, his hand almost pointing to the sky.
Mi Fukan slightly raised his head, his gaze moving upward.
The eighty-eighth floor, Tang Rao!
"Amitabha!" Mi Fukan intoned a Buddhist chant, his calm voice tinged with excitement.
"Baldy, happy now? Hahaha!" Ji Yongye said loudly.
"Indeed, indeed," Mi Fukan's lips curved slightly up, the eighty-eighth floor, Tang Rao was truly the first of his kind from ancient to modern times.
Now, such a genius was their Honorary Elder.
Others looked on at Ji Yongye and Mi Fukan, puzzled by their reactions.
Tang Rao reached the eighty-eighth floor, why are you two so happy?
Is he your son?
Nuts.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, the Heavenly Ladder slightly trembled, emitting a faint sound.
"He's coming out! He's coming out!"
"Tang Rao!"
"My idol, oh my, I'm so thrilled."
"Ah, I can't even stand still..."
The scene was chaotic, countless people trying to push forward, wanting to catch a glimpse of Tang Rao, the twenty-year-old prodigy.
A figure emerged, and Tang Rao's silhouette appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Ladder.
Handsome, tall, sunny, young...
Everything was so perfect, so admirable.
After all… that's what Tang Rao's admirers thought. At this moment, in their eyes, everything about Tang Rao was perfect. Even if Tang Rao admitted he had a bad personality, poor character, and was flirtatious; they would interpret it as: having personality, being thoughtful, and fatally charming to women.
"Yo, are you all here? Waiting for me to come out? How embarrassing," Tang Rao said with a smile.
Of course, his smile was only for Ji Yongye and Mi Fukan, as he only recognized these two among the people in front.
"As it should be," Ji Yongye smiled contentedly.
Mi Fukan also smiled and nodded, the Bald one looking very pleased.
"Tang Rao!" Just as Tang Rao was about to speak, Ba Wang stepped forward, positioning himself directly in front of Tang Rao, his eyes fixed on Tang Rao, his presence aggressive and domineering.
"Who are you?" Tang Rao was somewhat displeased, even a good dog doesn't block the road, why do you stand right in the middle of it?
"Ba Wang!"
A simple introduction, always Ba Wang's style, as his name was known to everyone.
"Oh," Tang Rao responded, "Could you please step aside? Blocking the way is very impolite."
Ba Wang took a deep breath, veins bulging on his forehead.
Had it been someone else, he would have exploded by now.
"I am the Sword Sect Master, now I invite you to join the Sword Sect!" Ba Wang stated bluntly and arrogantly.
As if Tang Rao had no choice but to join the Sword Sect, or else he would face relentless revenge from the Sect.
Sword Sect?
Tang Rao was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
I'm acquainted with your Sword Sect, very acquainted indeed.
Do you know who almost got me killed the first time I came to Blue Star? Yes, yes, yes, it was Huang Tianquan from the Sword Sect.
Even though that scum is already dead, the grudge still remains.
"I am Zhao Tianquan, the Great Elder of the Sword Sect, known as the Sword Demon, and I hope you can join the Sword Sect!" Nearby, Zhao Tianquan also stood up, staring intently at Tang Rao.
Zhao Tianquan?
Tang Rao felt infuriated, damn it, has the Sword Sect really got a grudge with the Tianquan name?
Huang Tianquan, Zhao Tianquan, are you guys annoying or what?
Everyone was looking at Tang Rao, unsure of how he would choose.
Ji Yongye smirked, very calm.
Ba Wang, oh Ba Wang, if you had used a gentler approach, maybe Tang Rao would have agreed. But you're so arrogant and aggressive; with Tang Rao's personality, if he agrees, I'll write my name backwards.
"Alright." Tang Rao squinted his eyes.
Pfft!
Ji Yongye nearly spat blood.
"But, I have a condition." Tang Rao looked at Ba Wang, whose face was already displaying a smile, and said.
"Speak!" Ba Wang waved his hand grandly, "As long as it's something the Sword Sect can do, we will definitely satisfy you; of course, if even the Sword Sect can't do it, then no other sect can either."
"Very simple, make me the Sect Master of the Sword Sect," Tang Rao said lightly, enunciating each word clearly.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
The smile on Ba Wang's face slowly faded, and Zhao Tianquan also deeply furrowed his brows.
They had not expected Tang Rao to directly demand the position of Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
"If possible, I will join the Sword Sect right now; if not..." a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Rao's eye, "I don't care if you are Ba Wang or Wang Ba, just get the hell out of my way."
A roaring shout, intimidating everyone present, full of dominance.
Indeed, in everyone's eyes, Ba Wang was recklessly arrogant, whereas Tang Rao was domineering, exuding a charisma that flew high into the sky.
Ba Wang's expression changed drastically.
"Sect Master, calm down," Zhao Tianquan immediately grabbed Ba Wang, "we still have leverage."
Ba Wang took a deep breath, had it not been for Zhao Tianquan's intervention, he would have definitely made a move.
Actually, Ba Wang didn't think Tang Rao was very strong. Being in the Foundation Establishment and not entering the Heavenly Ladder, Tang Rao was at most at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Just the foundation peak. Does he have a deeper foundation than me, Ba Wang? That little bastard must have discovered some secret of the Heavenly Ladder.
"You three, come here!" Zhao Tianquan pointed at Bai Jinseng, Bai Ge, and Bai Lengqing.
The three inhaled sharply, then slowly stepped forward, walking to the side of the crowd of bigshots.
"Tang Rao, Bai Jinseng is your uncle, right? He has also joined the Sword Sect, don't you want to?"
"Xiao Rao, it's me, your uncle."
"Tang Rao, I'm Bai Ge, your brother!"
As for Bai Lengqing, she didn't have the face to speak, hanging her head low.
Tang Rao looked indifferent; clearly, Bai Jinseng's family and Bai Lengqing had used his reputation to join the Sword Sect.
This behavior annoyed Tang Rao, especially since it was Bai Jinseng's family.
You two pieces of trash, you really know how to play, huh?
"What if I firmly refuse to join?" Tang Rao asked.
"If you insist on this, your uncles will have no one to rely on in the Sword Sect and might inevitably meet with some accidents," Zhao Tianquan said coldly.
His meaning was clear; if Tang Rao doesn't join, Bai Jinseng and the others would not have good days ahead, and might even die.
"How shameless!"
"What kind of people are in the Sword Sect!"
"Damn it, who's stopping me, I'm going to fight it out with these Sword Sect scum!"
Instantly, curses rang out all around, the Sword Sect was really shameless.
Tang Rao's face slowly crept up with a cold smirk.
