CHAPTER 1068: CHAPTER 1042 CAREFREE SECT

"Phew—" Hua Wuliang let out a sigh of relief, shook his head, struck a cool pose, and then felt something was off. He grinned flatteringly, "Brothers, why are you all looking at me like this? I know I’m handsome, but after all, you’re all men. You really don’t need to look at me that way; it makes me uncomfortable."

This Hua Wuliang, he’s really quite vain and narcissistic. Even Tangyu felt he could compete with himself on that.

Wang Qiutian grinned and said, "I feel like slashing a few scars on your face."

Liu Yuanyan also agreed, "I want to shave all your hair off."

Hua Wuliang immediately gestured to stop, "Don’t do that, I rely on this face to make a living. I can understand your jealousy, but you shouldn’t treat me like this, right? Is it my fault for being handsome? Clearly not. Eh, why are you rolling up your sleeves? Don’t do this, I’m not into that, never into brokeback stuff, please have some respect."

Wang Qiutian and Liu Yuanyan were utterly defeated by Hua Wuliang. So shameless, even more so than Tangyu. What a character.

Hua Wuliang looked at Tangyu and said, "Brother, I think we’re similar; you should understand me, right?"

"Your uncle!" Tangyu cursed irritably, who’s similar to you? Doesn’t he know that I’ve long turned good?

Hua Wuliang laughed heartily, "I don’t even know who my parents are, let alone my uncle."

"Hmm?" Tangyu slightly furrowed his brows. Could it be that Hua Wuliang is also an orphan? If that’s the case, then Tangyu found much resonance in him, as he too had been an orphan from a young age, not knowing who his parents were.

Noticing the change in Tangyu’s expression, Hua Wuliang was also stunned. He looked at Tangyu and said, "Cough, I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously, okay?"

Tangyu shook his head, "No, we’re both lost souls, why regret not meeting sooner?"

Hua Wuliang was stunned again, then realized the meaning behind Tangyu’s words. So, he had a similar background, no wonder. It seems there are more unfortunate ones than just himself in this world. Hua Wuliang grabbed Tangyu’s hand and earnestly nodded, "Confidant indeed, definitely brothers!"

This kind of instant familiarity is invincible.

Tangyu withdrew his hand and said, "Mr. Hua, please have some respect!"

"Uh—" Hua Wuliang twitched a corner of his mouth, while Wang Qiutian and the others broke into careless laughter.

After the commotion, Hua Wuliang also said, "Brothers, it’s fate that we meet. I feel quite a bond with you all, could we perhaps establish some friendship? No need to mention my name, Hua Wuliang, don’t make fun of it. It was given by my unreliable master, and it’s been a scar to this day. Sigh. Actually, I’m not unscrupulous at all. I even wanted to change my name to Hua Youliang, but my unreliable master suppressed me, so I accepted my fate."

Holy Sun also chuckled teasingly, "You really live up to your name; it fits perfectly."

"I’ll just take that as jealousy, blatant jealousy." Hua Wuliang said shamelessly, and continued, "I come from the Carefree Sect within Jin Country’s territory. May I know your names, brothers?"

"Carefree Sect!" Hearing the name, Tangyu was slightly surprised and a bit amused. The name was quite famous on Earth; the book "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" made many remember the name Carefree Sect. The sect leader Wu Yazi was an extremely powerful existence. Of course, those only existed in martial arts TV dramas, but in reality, there was also a Carefree Sect, just not as prestigious. So hearing Carefree Sect gave Tangyu a sense of familiarity.

Hua Wuliang nodded and said, "Yes, the Carefree Sect, heard of it?"

Tangyu shook his head, "No."

Holy Sun, however, looked at Hua Wuliang with slight surprise, "You’re a disciple of the Carefree Sect?"

Seeing Holy Sun’s expression, Hua Wuliang proudly puffed out his chest, nodded, and grinned, "That’s right, a genuine disciple of the Carefree Sect, the one hundred twenty-eighth generation—Hua Wuliang."

Holy Sun glanced up and down at Hua Wuliang, nodding, "No wonder you’re so shameless, turns out you’re a disciple of the Carefree Sect, that explains everything."

"Uh—" Hua Wuliang suddenly felt awkward, what does that mean?

Wang Qiutian also laughed, "I get it too, the Carefree Sect, disciples pursue absolute freedom and ease. So, people of the Carefree Sect also have unique personalities, you’re likely to encounter all kinds of characters. Within the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect territory, the Carefree Sect is a rather unique existence, right?"

"I really couldn’t tell, you’re actually a disciple of the Carefree Sect. Could it be that you sneaked into the Carefree Sect with that shameless face of yours?" Liu Yuanyan joked.

Hua Wuliang immediately retorted, "Who said that? I got in with my talent, strength, and charisma, alright? How could someone as uniquely charming, handsome, and suave as me not enter the Carefree Sect? If I couldn’t get in, who else could?"

Tangyu didn’t know much about the Carefree Sect, but seeing that even Holy Sun and the others knew about it, it indeed seemed like an extraordinary sect. Curious, he asked, "Is the Carefree Sect really that powerful?"

Hua Wuliang boasted, "Not that impressive, not that impressive, just average, at most the third best in the world, nowhere near comparing to the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect."

So, does that mean, besides the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, the Carefree Sect is considered powerful?

Holy Sun said, "Don’t listen to his boasting, but the Carefree Sect is indeed a very powerful force. Although it’s considered a third-rate power, even second-rate forces dare not provoke the Carefree Sect. Though located within Jin Country, Jin Country absolutely won’t govern the Carefree Sect. The Carefree Sect, with its carefree approach, remains uninvolved with worldly affairs, hence it remains independent. The main reason is, the number of people in the Carefree Sect is too few, pathetically few, perhaps even fewer than an ordinary third-rate power."

"However, the disciples of the Carefree Sect, each of them is extraordinarily talented, peculiar. Few, but excellent. Becoming a disciple of the Carefree Sect is something countless people dream of. The Carefree Sect is said to have seven True Persons, seven Zifu Great Powers. Just the aura of these seven True Persons is enough to suppress everything, making second-rate powers not dare to provoke them. Hua Wuliang, does your Carefree Sect really have seven Zifu Great Powers?"

Seven Zifu Great Powers? This indeed surprised Tangyu considerably.

Just one Zifu Great Power can talk on equal footing with a second-rate power. Even a second-rate power, at most, has two or three Zifu Great Powers. More powerful ones might have four or five Zifu Great Powers, and that is very powerful. But the Carefree Sect has seven Zifu Great Powers? That’s terrifying.

We must know, in Shengfeng City, just because of one Zifu Great Power, the City Lord, both Liang Kingdom and Xia Country treat it with great courtesy.

Hua Wuliang smugly smirked, "Of course, there have to be seven Zifu Great Powers. They are my seven unprincipled masters. My name was given by them; they are too unprincipled."

Even Holy Sun was a bit shocked, "All seven True Persons are your masters?"

"Yeah, what’s the big deal? I’m such an unparalleled genius, they all fought to take me as their disciple. For this, they don’t know how many times they got into fights. So in the end, all seven of them took me as their disciple. Alas, these years have been really tough for me, tortured to death by those seven unprincipled old men, nearly life-and-death. So I had to escape and participate in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect’s disciple selection. Once I’m in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, those seven unprincipled old men can’t torment me. Haha, I’m so clever." Hua Wuliang nodded.

"..." Everyone was speechless, feeling a bit incredulous.

But Tangyu felt that they couldn’t fully trust Hua Wuliang’s words.

With seven Zifu Great Powers as masters, why would he need to join the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect?

However, seeing Hua Wuliang, he didn’t seem to be lying. But such a thing is indeed incredible, hard to believe. Added to this is Hua Wuliang’s extremely shameless image, which makes people have doubts.

Holy Sun continued, "I’ve heard the Carefree Sect has very peculiar requirements for disciples. It’s not necessarily an extraordinary talent or appearance that gets you in. Those accepted must have very unique, distinct, and even peculiar personalities. That’s probably why the Carefree Sect has such a strange reputation, with mixed praises."

Hua Wuliang said, "That’s just a misunderstanding from outsiders. Our Carefree Sect is actually quite good, definitely better than those so-called orthodox sects. Even though the world misunderstands our Carefree Sect, we can still live freely."

Tangyu smiled. To think there exists a sect like the Carefree Sect, it’s quite interesting.

"It’s not just about me, quickly tell me about yourselves. I think you all seem exceptional too." Hua Wuliang asked again.

Tangyu and the others also introduced themselves one by one. After listening, Hua Wuliang was taken aback, "Whoah, you’re all disciples of Shengfeng Academy. Haha, I’ve heard of Shengfeng Academy’s reputation too. Although it rose to prominence only a few decades ago, it’s already quite famous. Especially the City Lord of Shengfeng City; even my seven unprincipled masters have praised him. Haha, Brother Holy Sun, I didn’t expect your background to be significant, being the son of Shengfeng City’s Lord. I’m envious; that’s much more reliable than my seven unprincipled masters."

"Speaking of which, your Shengfeng Academy is really remarkable, to have produced so many geniuses at once. Admirable. Unlike our Carefree Sect, this time for the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple selection, I’m the only one going."

Holy Sun laughed, "How can you say you’re the only one? Aren’t there three beauties chasing after you?"

"Ahem, don’t mention it, it’s too sad, utterly too sad. My pain, you can’t comprehend. Ahem, Brother Qiutian, Brother Yuanyan, stay calm, don’t be impulsive. Alright, I apologize, I won’t say more." Hua Wuliang waved his hand.

Even though the three women were chasing after him, Tangyu and the others’ carriage was fast enough that it was not easy for them to catch up. Therefore, all the way, they naturally weren’t caught by those three women.

Rushing at full speed, in more than half a day, Tangyu and the others arrived in front of Jiuzhou City. From afar, they saw a vast and grand city appearing in their line of sight, incredibly magnificent, like an Immortal City, giving an extremely shocking impression.
