Chapter 1110: Chapter 742: Does the Sect Master Not Wish to Revitalize the Sect?

This behavior made Wang Yang very understanding, after all, their sect had fallen into such decline.

It’s not bad that someone still came to step on them, and there’s even someone looking to become a disciple.

“Are you certain? Are you sure you haven’t come to the wrong place?”

This disciple confirmed again and again.

This made Xiu Huang completely impatient: “Why are you dithering? When we say we want to become disciples, we mean it. Just tell us whether you’re accepting us or not!”

The disciple hurriedly said: “Recruiting disciples is not something I can decide, you should come with me to see the Sect Master.”

Kui Jiang also impatiently said: “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Such a hassle.”

The disciple seemed very embarrassed, these people didn’t seem like they came to become disciples, more like they were coming to rob.

It can only be said that the bandit aura on Xiu Huang and Kui Jiang was indeed too strong.

Under the disciple’s guidance, the group came to a grand hall.

But this hall also appeared very dilapidated, it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages.

It seemed these people had already made this their residence, no longer possessing the look of a sect?

However, Wang Yang didn’t mind, slowly entering it.

He saw a young member of the Demon Clan dressed in coarse cloth sitting on a somewhat refined chair.

It was clear that this chair was probably the last semblance of the entire Eastern Peak Sect.

Wang Yang standing beside, the disciple stuttered: “Reporting to the Sect Master, these people say

they have come to become disciples.”

The Sect Master of the Eastern Peak Sect sat on the chair expressionless, but Wang Yang could tell from the details that this so-called Sect Master was very nervous.

Because his fingers kept twitching, and there was a bead of sweat on the corner of his forehead.

This made Wang Yang find it amusing, such a sect probably wouldn’t be any different even without a Sect Master.

Wang Yang repeated his words again: “Greetings Sect Master, the four of us have come to become disciples.”

The young Sect Master asked: “Why did you choose the Eastern Peak Sect as the place to become disciples?”

Wang Yang smiled and answered: “I heard that the Eastern Peak Sect is a Sword Dao sect, we are drawn to Sword Dao and naturally wish to learn under it.”

The young Sect Master looked at his disciple, at a loss.

After all, he had not expected the Eastern Peak Sect to fall to such a state and still have people come to become disciples.

Considering that Wang Yang and the others didn’t seem to be joking.

“Want to become disciples is not impossible, just, however…”

Before the young Sect Master could finish his sentence, another disciple rushed in from outside: “It’s bad Senior Brother, that group is here again!”

Hearing this, the young Sect Master’s expression changed drastically, he stood up and asked: “How did they come again so quickly? Hasn’t it only been a few days?”

“I don’t know either; this time they seem aggressive, probably up to no good!”

As the disciple finished speaking, a group of people burst in from outside, looking extremely arrogant and domineering.

“Yo, my young Sect Master, I didn’t expect you to be inside the main hall today, I’ll have to see what this is all about.”

These members of the Demon Clan barged in, not at all like outsiders.

In fact, they acted as if they owned the place.

Upon seeing Wang Yang and his group, they became even more arrogant, with an inexplicable sense of anger: “Hmph! How bold of you, to still dare to recruit disciples?”

Their gaze was fixated on the young Sect Master, completely ignoring Wang Yang and the others.

The young Sect Master panicked: “We…we haven’t recruited disciples, they didn’t come because we asked them, they came here to become disciples.”

And these people laughed, unabashedly, filled with ridicule: “You’re practically joking; a sect like yours still has people coming to be disciples?”

At this point, only then did they direct their gaze toward Wang Yang and his group.

Xiu Huang couldn’t endure anymore, with a look of anger as if about to devour someone.

The Demon Clan member glanced up and down at Wang Yang and others and said: “Kid, are you sure you came to the Eastern Peak Sect on your own to become disciples?”

Wang Yang smiled: “Naturally, we came to learn the swordsmanship of the Eastern Peak Sect.”

This made them look at each other, then they all started laughing again: “Kid, do you not know the current state of the Eastern Peak Sect? Around Linzhou, there’s probably no sect worse off than them, they can hardly keep the pot boiling.”

Wang Yang replied politely: “I believe the water doesn’t need to be deep, as long as there are dragons, it will be spiritual.”

“Hmph! What nonsense about deep water having dragons, if there were really dragons, they wouldn’t choose this lousy Eastern Peak Sect, broken like this, where do they find the face to establish a sect?”

After saying this, the man’s gaze fell on the Sect Master of the Eastern Peak Sect: “Boy, remember this, from now on you’ll have to hand over three thousand spirit stones every month, or else your Eastern Peak Sect will have to shut down!”

The young Sect Master’s expression changed, he hurriedly said: “We, the Eastern Peak Sect, don’t have three thousand spirit stones, don’t make it hard for us!”

This member of the Demon Clan sneered: “You know you don’t have three thousand spirit stones, so don’t you understand what we mean?”

The Sect Master sighed helplessly: “Honorable one, although there is animosity between us, so many years have passed, is there a need to be so aggressive?”

“Hmph, back when your Eastern Peak Sect suppressed our sect, you didn’t say such words, today if you don’t hand over the spirit stones, or if you need more time, we’ll get you ready to leave, or else don’t blame us for not being polite!”

This Demon Clan member tore away the last fig leaf of the Eastern Peak Sect.

Threatening the young Sect Master.

After speaking, they glared at Wang Yang and the others, then turned away and left.

The young Sect Master sighed: “It’s not that I don’t want to accept you as disciples, but given the current situation of the Eastern Peak Sect, even if we wanted to teach you, we don’t have the capability anymore.”

Knowing the opportunity was rare, Wang Yang asked: “May I ask why such things are happening to the Sect, Sect Master?”

The young Sect Master hesitated for a moment but then spoke: “Alas, it won’t hurt to tell you.”

The disciple beside him quickly said: “Sect Master, you mustn’t, our Eastern Peak Sect must preserve the last shred of dignity.”

“What is dignity?”

The young Sect Master retorted: “Our Eastern Peak Sect is about to be erased from the world, when the time comes, do you remember us Eastern Peak Sect people will be gone, where would the so-called dignity come from?”

This left the disciple speechless, indeed it was the truth.

If even the sect no longer existed, there naturally would be no dignity left, because no one would know about the sect.

No matter good or bad evaluations, they couldn’t appear in the world.

“Our Eastern Peak Sect developed rapidly over a century, becoming quite a sect near Linzhou, but unfortunately, my Honorable Master died in the Outer State over a decade ago, and since then, our Eastern Peak Sect has declined day by day. Back then, during the competition for disciples, the Honorable Master offended a lot of people, which is why we ended up in this situation.”

Perhaps thinking he hadn’t explained enough, the Sect Master continued: “And beyond this one sect, there are several others making it difficult for us, if you had come a while later, we might have already left!”

“Before then many elders had already left the sect, and now only we ordinary disciples remain, staying only out of sentiment for the Honorable Master.”

Listening to this, Wang Yang couldn’t help but click his tongue in secret, this sect was indeed pitiful.

Xiu Huang asked: “Does the Sect Master have no thoughts of reviving the sect?”

Before the Sect Master could speak, the disciple beside him gave a bitter smile and said: “Do you think we don’t want to? But as you can see, it’s already difficult for us to survive, let alone recruit disciples, much less will they allow us even if we want to!”
