In the mountain cave at the back of the Heavenly Academy, Baili Hong and Baili Feng were chatting.
"Brother Hong, why did you agree to that little fellow last night? This isn't like you."
"I am also forced to do this. Exactly how many people does the Baili Clan have left? We do not know. After the Thousandleaf clan annexed the Hundred Miles Clan, their strength would definitely increase greatly. However, without the Hundred Miles Clan, they would become the target of public criticism. Life might not be so easy right now. However, if we, the Hundred Miles Clan, want to rise in power, it is not enough on our own. We need enough youths to work with, but for now, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect is the best partner. Take what you need. "
"Brother Hong, wouldn't it be easier for us to go back and kill everyone from the Thousandleaf clan?" A thick killing intent appeared in Baili Yu's eyes.
"I've thought of this before, but it's not the best way. Who could guarantee that after a few decades or a few hundred years, the Thousandleaf clan would also have one or more strong warriors who would come back to take revenge? Have you ever thought about why the Thousandleaf clan would make a move against our Hundred Miles Clan? Those two old fellows from the Thousandleaf clan would definitely not agree to it.
Baili Feng fell into deep thought.
"Little sister Feng, don't even think about it. As long as we return, we will know about everything. I will not let any of those who participated in the destruction of our Baili clan escape. But we still have to consider the future generations, how many years can we protect them? " Baili Hong couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, he and Baili Feng were already 160 years old, so he had no choice but to consider things further ahead.
Right when the two of them were silent, Li Xun and the others arrived.
"Master, Mistress, I've brought him."
"Come in."
"What an intelligent girl. Brother Hong, is she the disciple you want to take in?" When Baili Feng saw Qian Jue, he was overjoyed. He went up and hugged Qian Jue, and kissed her again and again.
"Elder sister, you're so beautiful. However, you're still not as beautiful as my elder sister Qin Qing." Everyone was amused by Qian Jue's words. In terms of age, Baili Feng was probably old enough to be her grandmother, but now she called her big sister.
"Jue, don't speak carelessly." Although Qin Qing knew that Baili Feng wouldn't be angry because of this, she still shot a look at Qian Jue. Qian Jue immediately covered her mouth.
"Haha, children's words are always spoken." To be called big sister by Qian Jue, Baili Feng was extremely happy in her heart.
"Little Sister Feng, put down Qian Jue first. Qian Jue, are you willing to take me as your Master? "
Qian Jue respectfully walked in front of Baili Hong, kowtowed three times, and said, "Qian Jue is willing." The matter of Baili Hong wanting to take her as a disciple was something that had already passed between Qin Qing and her.
"Okay, but I need to make it clear to you first. Being my disciple is very hard. If you can't bear the pain, you might die. Are you afraid?"
"Qijue isn't afraid, but would it be best if he could suffer a little less?" Qian Jue was indeed very cute. He would say whatever he felt in his heart.
"If you want to experience less pain, then you should use more snacks when you're training. This is my gift to you as I accept it."
"What beautiful pearls." Qian Jue was in love with the Demon Elemental Bead so much that she couldn't let go of it. She didn't know how precious this Demon Elemental Bead was. However, Qin Qing and the others looked at Qian Jue in envy. This was because they could feel the terrifying energy contained within the demon origin orb.
Qing'er, Qian Jue is already twelve years old this year, and has just come to train a little late. Fortunately, she has made many jade artifacts in the past and has received some physical training, in her hands is a demon origin orb, you help her boil a bucket of hot water every night, and let her soak in it. Each day for one hour, this process will continue for a year, and this year will be extremely tough for you.
"Yes, Master."
Dong Nana, Tian Fen, Cheng Kun, Zhou Jie. This isn't the first time we've met, let me introduce myself today. My surname is Baili, and I have a single name, 'Hong'. The reason why I called you here today is to discuss a matter with you. Our Hundred Miles Clan has met with a calamity, and almost all of our clansmen have been killed. As a reward, I will teach each of you a suitable set of sword technique and mental cultivation method. I said that the enemy is very powerful, so you might die. But I can guarantee one thing, it will not involve your clansmen, because our enemies are not on this continent, and right now, this Sword Soul Continent is only the tip of the iceberg. You have a minute to think.
The four of them were shocked when they heard this.
"I do." Cheng Kun was the first to kneel down.
"Me too." When she saw Cheng Kun's reaction, Dong Nana immediately knelt down.
"I do."
"I do."
Zhou Jie and Tian Fen only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. They were not stupid. They knew that the future would be dangerous, but it was also a great opportunity for them.
"Alright. What I just said was a little too serious. Although the enemy is strong, I, Baili Hong, will not fight without any certainty. Those who destroyed our Hundred Miles Clan were called the Thousand Leaves Clan, they used some despicable methods to get rid of them. However, they did not know that the 'Dragon and Phoenix' from the Baili family a hundred and twenty years ago were still alive. "Actually, what I need you all to do in the future is to let the world know that our Hundred Miles Clan possesses sufficient fresh blood."
At this moment, the four of them were secretly rejoicing. If they really lost this opportunity, they would likely regret it for their entire lives.
Li Xun listened in the side. This old man's thoughts were indeed meticulous. He first emphasized the dangers to test them before revealing his true purpose. Just now, when he heard it, he was sweating for the four of them.
"Xun Er, those new disciples are too unwell. You decide. Those who can't take the hardships and those who don't listen, get them to return to their original branches. Remember, it's better if they all go back. All of you need to train your bodies once more. From tomorrow on, after the end of your daily body training, you will come here. Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun will follow me. Dong Nana and Tian Fen will follow Little Sister Feng.
"I understand."
"Disciple understands."
After the matter here was over, Li Xun led everyone to bring the 101-104 yard. Baili Hong and Baili Feng had chosen 102, Li Xun and Qin Qing 101, and Qian Jue had insisted on living with Qin Qing just as Li Xun had predicted. Dong Nana and Tian Fen had chosen 103, while Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun had no choice but to enter 104.
On the first night, all the disciples of the Skysword Academy participated in the party. Even Baili Hong came to join in the fun. Baili Feng, too, officially appeared in front of everyone as the mistress of the school. Everything seemed so beautiful. Except for a few people, most of them did not know that the nightmare was about to come.
