Chapter 9: The Master Takes Action (Part 2)

Zhu Juan said, “It’s just a family. Although they have many people, there aren’t necessarily many experts. At most, there’s one or two Saint Masters. There must be someone in charge within the family, so it’s normal not to have super experts. They’re different from sects. A family can only bully people from lower-ranked continents. To our Chenxiao Sect, they’re nothing at all.”
Kumu asked, “Guo Shier, how many people can you take into the Altar Secret Realm?”
Guo Shier replied, “At most four.”
Kumu said, “Wow, this Talisman Gate is quite powerful—better than mine. I have a few Talisman Gates, but none of them can take four people.”
Zhu Juan was surprised. “Shier, didn’t you get your Talisman Gate from that wood?”
Guo Shier answered, “No. I exchanged it for it in the secret realm with a mysterious expert.”
Zhu Juan praised, “You’re really lucky.”
Monier said, “That’s enough. We can take Xiao Ying along too.”
Kumu glanced at Eagle Demon and said, “His strength isn’t enough. He’s too weak! He won’t be able to keep up with our attacks and will hold us back.”
Eagle Demon could hardly breathe, feeling suffocated. Seriously? In Kumu’s eyes, a high-level Talisman Martial Artist was too weak and would hold them back? That was absurd.
Zhu Juan frowned and said, “Actually, he’s not that weak. It’s true he can’t keep up with the attacks. Well, let’s find another Saint Master at the Talisman Martial level. Four Saint Masters… Hehe, destroying a family should be no problem.”
Monier suggested, “How about bringing in my brother?”
Kumu immediately stopped her. “Don’t bring that scumbag here!”
Monier got angry right away. She said, “You’re the scumbag! You stupid woodhead! What’s wrong with my brother? He’s also a Saint Master! Although not as strong as you, he’s still an intermediate Talisman Martial Saint Master! His strength is definitely enough!”
Zhu Juan also didn’t seem to agree. He said, “Ni’er, your brother… even if he’s not a scumbag, he’s still a bad guy! Don’t bring him…” Seeing both of them object, Monier fell silent. Actually, she knew in her heart that her brother really wasn’t good, but she just liked to protect him.
Guo Shier and Eagle Demon felt chilled to the bone. Just picking any random person here was already a Saint Master-level expert—Chenxiao Sect was truly powerful.
Zhu Juan said, “Forget it. I’ll go find Senior Brother Yan Long. With him around… nothing will go wrong.”
This time, Kumu didn’t object. Monier said, “You’re going to find the Grand Elder? He might not agree to come. For such a trivial matter… let’s not disturb him.”

Guo Shier became curious and asked, “Master, who is Yan Long… my uncle?”
Kumu pointed at Zhu Juan, signaling him to answer. Guo Shier glanced over. Zhu Juan said, “My senior brother is a… supreme master at the level of a Great Sage Master. He has long stopped caring about the sect’s affairs and rarely comes out. But he has a good relationship with me, so if I go to find him, he should agree to come.”
A Great Sage Master!
Guo Shier stared at Zhu Juan in awe. Even within the Chenxiao Sect, Great Sage Masters were at the very top. They almost never appeared, unless faced with an enemy capable of destroying their sect; otherwise, they wouldn’t be disturbed. Their goal was to go to the Advanced Talismans Continent to learn even more powerful talismans.
Guo Shier asked, “Is it a Talismans Great Sage Master?”
Zhu Juan nodded and said, “Yes, a Talismans Great Sage Master. But at the Sage Master stage, there’s no longer a distinction between talisman martial artists and talismans specialists—the difference between them is minimal.”
Kumu had no objections. He said, “If you can get him to come, I have no issue.”
Monier said, “If Senior Brother Yan is willing to come, I’m fine too. His strength is formidable, so we can save some effort. Hehe, Fat Zhu, it depends on your ability.”
Zhu Juan said, “Okay, I’ll go ask him. Wait a moment. If I can’t get him to come, we’ll think of another plan.” With that, he turned and left.
Guo Shier said, “Master, this place was first discovered by Uncle Eagle Demon. And… my former master too. If there are any benefits, they should also be included for them…”
Kumu simply replied, “No problem.”
Monier was surprised. “You had another master before? Ah… I see. Deadwood must have snatched him away! Hehe, Deadwood actually stole someone else’s disciple—how shameless!”
Kumu’s face remained expressionless as he said calmly, “If I met you, I’d do the same!”
Monier immediately fell silent. Reflecting on it, she agreed with Kumu—such a talented child shouldn’t go untaken; it would be unjust. She would regret it when she got home.
Kumu stopped talking and closed his eyes in deep thought, looking utterly enigmatic, which made Monier grit her teeth in anger. Guo Shier gave a helpless wry smile, which immediately caught Monier’s attention. She hugged him tightly and said, “Baby, don’t blame your master. If you stay on the lower-level continent, you’d really be wasting such talent.”
Guo Shier said, “I’m not blaming my master. But I hope my former master can also progress. He’s already reached the level of a Talismans Mad Master.”
Monier was astonished. “What? He actually managed to advance to a Talismans Mad Master?”

Kumu also opened his eyes. When he had forced Guo Shier to come with him, he hadn’t paid attention to the strength of Luo Jie and the others. In his understanding, the strongest people on the Lower Spellcraft Continent were at most master level; it was impossible for them to reach the level of Mad Master.

“Your former master… also has extraordinary potential,” Mo Ni’er said. “It’s okay, baby. If you want… I can give him a spot to join our Chenxiao Sect.”

Guo Shier was overjoyed. “Really?”

Kumu replied indifferently, “Those at the Mad Master level can join any sect. It’s determined by strength.”

Mo Ni’er said, “Baby, this is also an opportunity—a chance to move from the Lower Continent to the Intermediate Continent. Just like our top experts here who also hope to go to the Higher Spellcraft Continent, it’s not shameful.”

Guo Shier said sincerely, “Thank you, master and master wife.”

Kumu said, “No need to thank me. Meeting you is my luck, as well as yours.”

After a while, Zhu Juan brought in a somewhat handsome young man. Upon seeing Kumu and Mo Ni’er, the man smiled and said, “Ni’er, Muto, long time no see.”

Even Kumu, who was usually so aloof, stood up and said respectfully, “Senior brother, thank you for your trouble.”

Mo Ni’er called him senior brother and then pushed Guo Shier forward, saying, “Baby, this is your uncle Yan Long.”

Guo Shier said, “Hello, Uncle Yan. I’m Guo Shier.”

Yan Long’s gaze sharpened. He had already seen the identity token around Guo Shier’s waist and exclaimed in surprise, “A High-Level Great Spellcaster? How old are you?”

Guo Shier replied, “Eleven years old… just eleven.” His tone sounded a bit depressed; such a young age was indeed too young.

Yan Long said, “Muto, is this your disciple? Wow, such great potential. How did you find him… I admire you, truly…” He knelt down, took out a talisman, and smiled, “Here, this is a gift from your uncle. It’s a True Spirit Talisman, a teleportation True Spirit Talisman that allows you to teleport anywhere within a hundred meters. But you can only use it six times a day. After that, it won’t work until the next day. Remember that?”

Guo Shier was overjoyed. A teleportation talisman, and at that, a High-Level True Spirit Talisman! He was thrilled and kept saying, “Thank you, uncle! Thank you so much! You’re so kind…” He hurriedly fawned over him. This uncle was very generous, giving him a True Spirit Talisman as a gift right away. He knew well that with this talisman, he would be able to get a huge advantage in battles from now on.

Monier was a bit upset and whispered, “Little sycophant!”
Yan Long couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Ni’er, Shier just thanked me. Hehe, don’t worry, I won’t take your disciple away.” He seemed very amiable, completely different from Kuumu’s cold demeanor, giving people a feeling of warmth.
Monier’s face turned slightly red as she said softly, “Senior brother!”
Yan Long waved his hand with a smile and said, “What exactly happened? Fatty didn’t explain clearly. All I know is there’s an altar, an altar that allows one to advance. He said he needed help, so he just dragged me here.”
Kuumu said, “Shier says he knows best.”
Guo Shier immediately began to report. He was very articulate and described everything in an orderly manner, quickly recounting the whole story. Of course, he hid the fact that he had gone to see his master, Luo Jie.
Yan Long showed appreciation. This kid was truly surprising—describing everything so clearly, even though he was only eleven years old. His clarity of thought was amazing.
“The altar… the altar… Hmm, I vaguely remember hearing about it somewhere… Alright, I’ll join! Let’s go see what this altar is.”
Monier was delighted. “Senior brother agreed?”
Yan Long smiled. “How could I refuse such an interesting thing? Hehe, but to go to the secret realm, we must leave the sect. We’ll leave the sect first and then enter the secret realm. We might have to fight as soon as we get there.”
Kuumu nodded. “Let’s go!”
Guo Shier said, “Uncle Eagle Demon, stay here and wait for me.”
Eagle Demon nodded helplessly. This was the tragedy of having weaker strength—no even the right to fight. People looked down on a high-levelFúFú Wǔshī

“Shier, be careful.”
Guo Shier nodded in agreement and followed Kuumu and the others out.
Soon, they left the Chenxiao Sect and flew out of theFúFú Wǔshī

Monier asked, “Baby, what’s wrong?”
Guo Shier said with a wry smile, “I’m sorry… It hasn’t been three days yet. I can’t activate theFumen…” Facing such a huge mistake, he couldn’t help but blush—it was truly embarrassing.
Monier quickly hugged Guo Shier and said gently, “It’s okay, baby. We can wait. There’s no rush…” She loved him unconditionally and wouldn’t let him suffer in the slightest.

Withered Wood asked, “As soon as you came out of the secret realm, you came straight to me?”
Guo Shier said, “Yes…”
Withered Wood said, “It’s okay. Three days will pass quickly.”
Zhu Juan smiled at Guo Shier and said, “Shier has gone through a lot of hardship, that’s why he’s in such a hurry to go back… Alright, let’s find a place to rest. Three days will fly by.”
Yan Long laughed and said, “Shier, don’t worry. It’s not your fault.”
Everyone spoke in unison to comfort him, which only made Guo Shier’s face turn red. It was so embarrassing; he had never made such a silly mistake before.
