Chapter 134: Possessing a Wild Boar, and It’s a Male?

Two bursts of aura had snuffed out Elder Chi Yu!

It was domineering and peerless!

Everyone on the scene was petrified. Even Lu Xingdao stood there trembling, his lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

How could such a heaven-defying existence still reside within this Sanctuary Tower?

“My thanks, Senior!”

Seeing this, Lu Jin knew Qin Jiuhuang was helping him establish authority and clearing away his enemies. He cupped his hands in a respectful salute.

Qin Jiuhuang’s voice rang out once more.

“From this moment forth, if anyone dares to harbor ill intentions toward Lu Jin, she shall be your example!”

“Today’s matters end here. If any among you spreads even half a word of this, your end shall be the same!”

“Do you all understand?”

Though he was forcefully establishing his dominance, he knew that if this news reached the Blood Moon Ancestor’s ears, it would pose a massive threat to him. He had only just begun his recovery. Years ago, the Blood Moon Ancestor’s strength had already surpassed his own. After all these years of stagnation while the Ancestor progressed day and night, he was currently no match for him.

Therefore, letting today’s events end here was the best choice.

Putong!

Hearing those threatening words, Lu Xingdao actually dropped to his knees with a heavy thud, his voice shaking.

“Senior, this subordinate understands! I will arrange everything!”

As the Outer Sects Master, lowering his posture so significantly and referring to himself as a subordinate was undoubtedly an attempt to curry favor.

The Sanctuary Tower belonged to the Blood Moon Holy Land, so the expert within must also be from the Holy Land. Although he didn’t know exactly who this Senior was, they were certainly a major figure. If he could cling to such a person, the benefits would be endless!

After speaking, he turned and roared at the gathered disciples and elders.

“Did you all hear that clearly? If you did, kneel down immediately and pay your respects to the Senior!”

Hearing this, who would dare not to kneel?

Elder Chi Yu’s death, the mystery of the Great Demon’s blood spraying like a fountain inside the tower, the strange opening of the ninth floor… these events had already left their hearts trembling with shock. At this moment, refusing to kneel was simply courting death!

Putong! Putong! Putong!

The entire crowd knelt as one, their expressions filled with absolute piety.

“Get lost.”

As Qin Jiuhuang’s voice faded, Lu Xingdao hurriedly led the crowd away from the scene as if they were fleeing for their lives.

The area fell silent, but a voice of confusion drifted out from the Sanctuary Tower.

“Hmm? This girl’s bloodline aura…”

Qin Jiuhuang paused for a moment before speaking again.

“The girl in green, did you come here from the Imperial City?”

Hearing this sudden question, Yan Mo, who had just been released from her restraints by Lu Jin, felt her gaze shift.

“I did… May I ask why Senior inquires?”

As a princess of the Tianxuan Empire’s royal family, Yan Mo had hidden the fact that she came from the Imperial City for a long time. Why would a stranger inside the Sanctuary Tower know her origins?

“It is nothing… Since you are new here, from now on, Lu Jin and you are under This Seat’s protection!”

Yan Mo frowned slightly but still bowed in thanks.

Beside her, Tang Liu’s expression was complicated.

This is so awkward!

“Senior, I shall take my leave!”

Lu Jin spoke to Qin Jiuhuang. Although he was also curious about why the Holy Lord had questioned Yan Mo, he could tell the man didn’t want to elaborate. It wasn’t his place to pry, so he led the two of them toward the inner regions of the sect.

They hadn’t walked far before Lu Xingdao, the Outer Sects Master, came rushing over with several high-ranking elders. It seemed they had been waiting for them.

“Little Friend Lu Jin! Hahaha! Your performance today is more than enough to enter the Inner Sects for cultivation! This Master will personally recommend you to the Inner Sects right now!”

Seeing such a massive shift in attitude, Lu Jin merely gave a faint smile. As expected, strength was the only absolute truth. Some people only understood the language of fists; nothing else worked.

“I shall trouble the Sects Master then.”

“It is no trouble at all! Having such a powerful disciple like Little Friend Lu Jin join us is the honor of the Blood Moon Holy Land!”

“You flatter me…”

“Furthermore, the strength of these two is also quite remarkable. This Master will arrange for both of them to join the 9th Grade Hall!”

Hearing this, Lu Jin nodded. He turned to look at Yan Mo and Tang Liu, seeing their eyes light up with excitement.

“Thank you for your care, Sects Master!”

Tang Liu felt like he could almost kneel and kowtow to Lu Jin!

Though today’s events had been soul-shaking and nearly scared him to death, the result was more exciting than anything he had ever experienced!

One had to know that the 9th Grade Hall was the most transcendent and extraordinary hall within the entire Outer Sects. Every disciple there was a powerhouse. The number of geniuses who entered the Inner Sects from the 9th Grade Hall far surpassed any other hall!

Not to mention, the cultivation resources alone were incomparable!

While Tang Liu was basking in his joy, Yan Mo suddenly asked a question.

“Sects Master, can I follow my Senior Brother Lu Jin into the Inner Sects?”

As she spoke, she firmly hugged Lu Jin’s arm. Her delicate, clinging appearance made Lu Xingdao’s expression turn complicated.

From the looks of it, the relationship between these two was anything but simple!

However, a 5th Layer Jindan hadn’t reached the requirements for the Inner Sects yet…

This was a bit difficult.

“The Sects Master does not need to be troubled. I was merely asking in passing. However, I will certainly cultivate hard and strive to enter the Inner Sects as soon as possible to see Brother Lu Jin!”

She had called him Senior Brother before, but now she called him Brother. Their relationship was definitely special!

Yan Mo’s words allowed Lu Xingdao to breathe a sigh of relief.

“With your talent, entering the Inner Sects will be easy! I will arrange for all the best cultivation resources in the Outer Sects to be given to you! Haha, everything will be arranged! And you too! Tang Liu!”

Lu Xingdao was incredibly polite, even taking care to consider Tang Liu’s feelings.

“Thank you, Sects Master! In that case, we shall… meet again soon!”

Yan Mo looked at Lu Jin and came to a halt.

“We’re all in the same Holy Land, don’t make it sound so tragic!” Tang Liu laughed, throwing an arm around Lu Jin’s neck.

Seeing Yan Mo’s intimate behavior, he couldn’t hold back anymore; he had to show off his bond with his good brother.

“Brother! Thank you for today! Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am now! You are my reborn fat… bah! From now on, I am your blood brother! You cover me! Hehehe, I’ll work for you like a horse or an ox!”

Lu Jin smiled faintly. “Be my son instead.”

“Yes, Father!”

Lu Jin was speechless.

He really is straightforward and utterly shameless!

Seeing the two of them joking around and the atmosphere softening, Lu Xingdao immediately arranged for other elders to take Yan Mo and Tang Liu to the 9th Grade Hall to settle in. He then personally led Lu Jin toward the Inner Sects.

“Sects Master, are those in the 1st Grade Hall all trash?”

Lu Jin suddenly asked.

Long Chengfeng was in the 1st Grade Hall.

Lu Xingdao replied.

“Not necessarily. Every hall has disciples with decent talent who cultivate quickly. Some disciples even seem to have their meridians suddenly cleared after a period of cultivation, their power improving by leaps and bounds. Form them, ascending to the Inner Sects is just a matter of time.”

Lu Jin nodded and fell silent. However, after flying forward at high speeds for a while without seeing the Inner Sects’s mountain gate, he became puzzled.

The Blood Moon Holy Land was unexpectedly massive!

Meanwhile.

Deep within the myriad valleys and peaks of the Blood Moon Holy Land, a flicker of light shimmered. It darted back and forth through the forest before finally descending upon a wild boar.

Kacha!

The Fox Master gnashed her teeth, her voice filled with infinite resentment.

“Lu Jin! This Seat and you cannot coexist under the same heaven!”

“Now that my remnant soul is so fragile, I can only possess a wild boar! And it’s even a male!”

“I hate this!!!”

Footnotes: 

TN1: “Brother Lu Jin” (陆烬哥哥): The use of “Gēge” (older brother) here by Yan Mo implies a level of intimacy and affection beyond just being fellow disciples.

Translator’s Note: Talk about a fall from grace! The Fox Master went from a legendary spiritual entity to… a male wild boar. I actually laughed out loud at that twist. It’s the ultimate cosmic joke for a character that’s been so arrogant. Meanwhile, Lu Jin is finally getting the red-carpet treatment he deserves, even if the Sects Master is only doing it because he’s terrified of the “Senior” in the tower. Tang Liu calling Lu Jin “Father” just to stay on his good side is peak comedy. Do you think Yan Mo’s royal background is going to cause trouble for Lu Jin later, or will it be his secret weapon?
