CHAPTER 2043: CHAPTER 2310: MADMAN, A TRUE MADMAN!

"Can’t I come to the North State?" said Ren Feifan.

The middle-aged man realized his tone was somewhat inappropriate and quickly explained:

"Little brother, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean it like that; I was just worried about you. Since you arrived safely, nothing must have happened on the way.

Are you here to join the Cloudwater Sect?

Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Song Ru, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Cloudwater Sect."

Ren Feifan cupped his hands, feeling some goodwill towards Song Ru, and said, "My name is Ren Feifan. Thank you for the heads up earlier, Brother Song. We did run into some trouble on the way, but it’s been resolved."

Song Ru glanced at Ren Feifan and said no more.

He naturally didn’t believe that Ren Feifan could handle any trouble with the elderly, women, and children in tow.

Most likely, they were simply lucky not to encounter those people this time.

Although Ren Feifan had just met the man in front of him, the other party was from the Cloudwater Sect, so he asked, "Brother Song, if I want to enter the Cloudwater Sect, what should I do?"

Song Ru glanced at the people beside Ren Feifan and said helplessly, "Brother Ren, you shouldn’t have any problem entering the Cloudwater Sect. As long as you pass the entrance test, you’ll be able to join.

However — those people beside you may not be able to. Cloudwater Sect has been very strict in management in recent years and doesn’t allow any unrelated people to enter.

Even though I’d like to help you, I’m just an Inner Sect Disciple and don’t have that authority, sorry."

Ren Feifan nodded, not really expecting any help from the person in front of him.

However, he had no intention of becoming a disciple of the Cloudwater Sect.

"Brother Song, is there any other way to enter besides becoming a disciple?" Ren Feifan continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Song Ru gave Ren Feifan a surprised look, unable to understand why Ren Feifan wanted to come to Cloudwater Sect if not to seek protection or mentorship.

Could he be trying to steal the sect’s secrets?

On second thought, he sensed that Ren Feifan’s cultivation level wasn’t high, so young and with the elderly and children by his side.

Such a person, what cultivation could he have?

With Cloudwater Sect’s resources, it was impossible for Ren Feifan to spy on its secrets.

He thought for a while and pointed to another door.

There was almost no line there, only two elders standing guard, looking stern.

"Brother Ren, honestly, in your current situation, there’s really no way. Unless your strength meets the standards to become an External Elder of our Cloudwater Sect.

External Elders have different permissions compared to disciples, almost unrestricted except for a few places. You can also leave anytime if you need to."

Ren Feifan was delighted to hear that Cloudwater Sect still recruited External Elders; it seemed tailored for him.

No need to become a disciple and able to leave at will! Wonderful!

This External Elder, Ren Feifan decided he had to have it.

Ren Feifan stopped hesitating and walked towards that door, but before he could take a step, an elder with white hair was suddenly thrown out from it!

The elder appeared to be at the pinnacle of the God Sea Realm, exuding a terrifying aura, but was now covered in wounds!

His breath was weak.

Li Ru saw that Ren Feifan was genuinely planning to try and quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path, and explained:

"Brother Ren, don’t be reckless. You saw that elder; this is the consequence of failing the challenge. The requirements to become an External Elder of the Cloudwater Sect are extremely high. Ordinary strong ones can’t get in, let alone you, Brother Ren.

Besides, even if you become an External Elder, you can’t bring anyone except sect disciples inside!

Brother Ren, don’t be impulsive, think carefully!"

Li Ru practically went mad.

He even somewhat regretted mentioning the External Elder thing.

Becoming an External Elder comes at a great cost!

Today alone, over a dozen experts had been beaten disabled!

Not a single one had succeeded yet.

"There’s no need to think it over; my mind is made up," said Ren Feifan seriously.

"Brother Ren, think about these children and the elderly beside you. They’re not familiar with this area. Even if you go in, how can they establish themselves here?"

Li Ru had only met Ren Feifan once, but he had a kind heart and was genuinely worried about him now.

Ren Feifan glanced at Li Ru, then looked at Longnu and the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, and others, saying, "Who said I’m leaving them? Can’t the four of us become External Elders of the Cloudwater Sect at the same time?"

With these words, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

All the cultivators preparing to take the Cloudwater Sect test turned to look at Ren Feifan.

Even the two elders guarding the gate frowned and looked over.

But when everyone saw Ren Feifan’s appearance and the two children and an old man with him, they were completely stunned.

These four want to become External Elders of the Cloudwater Sect?

Are you kidding me?

Among the four, only the swordsman youth seemed to have some strength, but that’s just not enough to be an External Elder.

As for the other three, they were completely the weak and elderly, not even qualifying to be disciples of the Cloudwater Sect!

Are any random riffraff allowed to cause trouble at the Cloudwater Sect nowadays?

Some arrogant cultivators looked at Ren Feifan and snorted coldly, "I’ve seen many looking for death in my time, but never like you."

Another man, with a full beard, laughed heartily and pointed at Ren Feifan, saying, "Cloudwater Sect is a major sect in the North State. Do you few plan to be External Elders? If you can become External Elders, then I bet I could become the Sect Master, haha."

As soon as his words fell, the two door guards moved, and a Sword Qi sliced through the air, piercing the bearded man directly the next second.

His body exploded into a splash of blood.

At the same time, a cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears!

"In front of Cloudwater Sect, no false words are allowed. Violators will be killed!"

Once more, the entire world fell silent, and no one intended to mock Ren Feifan anymore, obediently lining up to test for a Cloudwater Sect disciple.

Li Ru glanced at the two elders, eyes narrowing, and whispered urgently to Ren Feifan, "Brother Ren, stop joking around, just leave, or you’ll be the next to die!"

He certainly didn’t think they had any qualification to become External Elders of the Cloudwater Sect.

Going there was certain death!

Ren Feifan smiled, glanced at Longnu, Little Tiger (Corroding Sky Striped Tiger), and the ancient Kylin, and said, "Let’s go. We’ll just have to bear being Elders for a few days."

Longnu and the others nodded, "Sigh, for Brother Feifan, we’ll just bear it for a few days."

Li Ru, hearing their conversation, was really going insane.

Becoming an External Elder of the Cloudwater Sect is a grievance?

He was truly impressed.
