Chapter 93: Chapter 93 I’m Willing
The gap between an Eighth-Rate Sect and a Ninth-Rate Sect is clearly visible, as seen by the Cold Cloud Sect.
After ascending to an Eighth-Rate Sect, the territory Cold Cloud Sect had occupied expanded several times over, and the resources received by all disciples also increased manyfold.
Put simply, they used to get one bottle of low-grade pills per month from Cold Cloud Sect, but now, they could get at least two or even three bottles.
Moreover, when Cold Cloud Sect was still a Ninth-Rate Sect, its disciples sometimes encountered disciples from other Ninth-Rate Sects. Those from other sects might pay them lip service, but it was just that.
When they met disciples from Eighth-Rate Sects, they wouldn’t even glance at them, their noses turned up to the sky, completely disregarding them as if they were invisible.
But since Cold Cloud Sect had been promoted to an Eighth-Rate Sect, when encountering disciples from those former Ninth-Rate Sects, they would hurry over, nodding and bowing as they spoke, and even when meeting those from Eighth-Rate Sects, they were no longer treated with the same disdain but as equals.
This is the elevation of status, the difference in identity.
Having enjoyed this high and mighty feeling, how could they agree to go back to being looked down upon at a Ninth-Rate Sect?
Not to mention, the Sect Master of Cold Cloud Sect had already broken through to the Dragon God Realm, a substantial pillar of support, and few dared to provoke them.
A sect that had just been established, despite Ling Qinghai having many resources, how abundant could the resources be for a sect founded by someone in the Dragon Vein Realm?
It is said that when Cold Cloud Sect was just established, it almost spent all its funds, and everyone who joined did so voluntarily, not only without receiving resources but also at a cost to themselves.
However, these people had persevered to this day, becoming figures like Elders of Cold Cloud Sect, holding significant power within the sect.
“You all know the situation of Cold Cloud Sect back in the day, it’s good to add flowers to brocade, but the most important was providing coal in the snow. You are not without opportunities to become future Elders of God-Slaying Pavilion.”
Seeing that the tens of thousands of people in front of him were not only silent but also showed strong reluctance, Ling Qinghai couldn’t help but speak up.
Although it pained him to select fifty places at once, he was also worried that these disciples might harbor other thoughts, feeling that Cold Cloud Sect didn’t value them.
But Ling Qinghai had to do it, for just that one painting by Su Han, let alone fifty places, even five hundred would be given to Su Han.
This favor was indeed too great.
“An Elder of God-Slaying Pavilion?”
Upon hearing this, most people scoffed.
It had indeed been tough for the Elders of Cold Cloud Sect to get where they were.
Who knows if God-Slaying Pavilion could become the next Cold Cloud Sect? Who knows whether it will be quickly destroyed after it’s established?
After barely joining Cold Cloud Sect, if one were to join God-Slaying Pavilion and then see it destroyed, what then?
Su Han was naturally aware of their concerns and their thoughts, but he did not speak, just silently watched.
The people he chose had to be loyal to God-Slaying Pavilion and genuinely eager to join.
Because these people would become the backbone of God-Slaying Pavilion, and Su Han would earnestly teach them.
Otherwise, at this moment, just by bringing out a set of low-grade silver-level equipment, many would probably scramble to join God-Slaying Pavilion.
“Still, no one willing?”
Ling Qinghai furrowed his eyebrows slightly, looking apologetically at Su Han and telepathically said, “Young Master Su, there’s nothing I can do, after all, they are disciples of Cold Cloud Sect, and I can’t speak too harshly.”
Su Han nodded slightly, he naturally understood Ling Qinghai.
As the Sect Master of a sect, could he really go about driving away the disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect?
This would only chill the hearts of these disciples.
“Sect Master, is joining the God-Slaying Pavilion voluntary?” suddenly a disciple asked.
“Yes,” Ling Qinghai nodded.
“Then fine, I’m withdrawing.”
After saying this, the disciple immediately took a step back.
“I’m withdrawing too.”
“Same here.”
Following the first disciple’s withdrawal, nearly all of the 40,000 people on the square took a few steps back.
Only about a dozen people remained at the front.
These dozen people looked at each other, their faces filled with conflict and struggle.
Although they too had passed the assessments to enter the Cold Cloud Sect and their aptitudes weren’t too bad, they paled in comparison to the others.
In any sect or power, there are always those with weaker strength who are constantly bullied, and these dozen people belonged to that group.
Since joining the Cold Cloud Sect, they had always been humiliated, and the resources they received were snatched away by other disciples before they could even benefit from them.
They were angry but powerless, as their opponents each had strong backings, either disciples of the Elder of Inner Sect or the Outer Sect Elder, while they had none and could only grit their teeth and endure.
At this moment, the Cold Cloud Sect suddenly offered such an opportunity, and they had to consider it.
“Even if the God-Slaying Pavilion really gets destroyed later, it would still be better than staying in the Cold Cloud Sect.”
Their lowered gazes flickered with light, even if the God-Slaying Pavilion’s strength wasn’t enough and it got destroyed, they could still leave the Cold Cloud Sect which had been a psychological shadow over them.
And if the God-Slaying Pavilion wasn’t destroyed and could develop, then they would eventually make their way out!
After a moment, someone suddenly shouted, “I’m willing to join the God-Slaying Pavilion!”
Su Han suddenly looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a somewhat frail-looking young man with a slightly pale face.
However, upon seeing this young man, Su Han’s eyes brightened significantly.
Because around this young man were extremely astonishing Magic Elements, much denser than Yang Lin and Lian Yuze, almost reaching the peak.
Moreover, the Magic Elements around this young man were not the Low-Level Magic Elements like the Five Elements, but… Spatial Element!
The strength of the Spatial Element was undoubtedly powerful; in his previous life, Su Han had seen a Holy Demon Instructor who mastered the Spatial Element effortlessly create a massive crevice tens of thousands of meters long with a flick of his hand, a feat so powerful it could skip ranks to combat a regular Magic God of Five Element Magic!
If it weren’t for the tens of thousands of people stepping back, Su Han might have had to search hard to find him, but now, he stood right in front of him, a true case of ‘No effort is needed to find what you seek.’
Most importantly, this person was willing to join the God-Slaying Pavilion!
