"I'm sorry young friend it would be hard for us to let you through since there was no information about the sect expecting any visitors today.
It's not that we want to slight a palace realm cultivator like yourself by refusing you entry, it's just that those are the rules of the sect. We can't let anyone through not unless we have express permission to do so...I hope you understand."
A slow unperturbed voice of an old man sounded from inside the courtyard. It had a calming seemingly undetached sensation to it.
"Then can you pass on a message from me?"
"I can," the old man succinctly answered.
"I'm a judge from the Order and someone from the Dark Helminth Ghost sect attacked while I was conducting evaluations in Summerfield Kingdom.
I've already taken care of the attacker but members of the Dark Helminth Ghost sect are notoriously crafty and meticulous. They would not have planned the attack without months if not years, of planning.
By my guess, the fact that an attack happened during the evaluation of the organizations within your territory should mean that they have established a temporary base within your region and they may not be the only dark organization to do so.
While you may not care about what happens outside your sect grounds, the same can't be said about them.
I just wanted to warn you to keep an eye out."
Yang Qing took out a white jade talisman that had a recording of the events that happened in the hall room during the evaluation. He already had another recording that he would hand to the Order, while the copy he had on hand, he had made for the purposes of proving the veracity of his statement to the Spiritual temperance sect.
"You can have this as proof," Yang Qing said as he tossed the talisman over the entrance gate. The talisman went on a perfect trajectory and landed in the hands of the person Yang Qing was talking with.
"I'll be off then, please do inform your higher-ups. If the Dark Helminth Ghost sect is comfortable enough to operate in your territory, I shudder to think what other organizations are lurking in there.
Your nest may already be swarming with hidden vipers all over."
Yang Qing didn't wait for their response as he flew back up to Ellie and continued on with his journey to the Blue Lotus kingdom.
….
Inside the courtyard,
The three cultivators stood dumbfounded at the quick conclusion of their whole interaction. Of the many scenarios they expected for it to play out, this was not one of them.
"Is he really from the Order?" asked the only lady among the three cultivators and also the one with the weakest cultivation base, which was at the first stage of the core formation realm.
She was young, seemingly looking to be about twenty years old. She had round deep black eyes that shone with a light of curiosity. She had on white robes and a crystal butterfly hairpin tying her hair.
She was leaning over as she tried to scrutinize the white jade talisman in the hands of an elderly-looking man who also had pure white robes, a long flowing beard that reached his chest, and hair that was tied in a half bun.
Even though his skin was wrinkled and his frame bent, his eyes had a sense of clarity in them that would give one the sensation that he was ageless.
The last member of the group was a young man who seemed to be in his early 30s. He too had worn white robes and had black hair tied in a daoist topknot. He had an easy-going and carefree aura to him, like a blade of grass freely moving with the springtime winds.
"Elder Shi, is he really from the Order?" the young lady asked again when she saw she had not gotten any response at her earlier question.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "The Dark Helminth Ghost sect….things may get troublesome if they really have a base here," the elderly man said as he breathed out a worried sigh.
"Yes, he is from the Order…Not many places can churn out a young palace realm cultivator like him and the fact that he was able to throw this talisman over, completely ignoring the barrier we had already erected up, is proof his strength isn't low either.
There's the recording too…Luckily I don't think he minded much when we refused him entry," said the elderly man with another sigh.
"I wonder if the array would even have done much against him?" he wondered before he shook his head free of those thoughts.
"The Order is that powerful?!!!" the young lady said in shock.
"He didn't seem that older than me…" she continued on with disbelief.
"Or maybe he is just some old person maintaining his youthful looks," she muttered with a seriously pondering expression.
"Junior sister Ya, is senior sister Yu Mei an old person maintaining her youthful looks?" the young man gently asked as he lightly smiled at the young lady's train of thought.
"Senior brother Lifen why are you slandering Senior Mei like that? Elder Shi, did you hear what he said?..how can Senior sister Mei be an old person? She is recorded to be the youngest palace realm expert in the sect since its founding. She is just 32 years old and she is already a palace realm expert…
Senior brother Lifen you shouldn't slander people like that just because you're envious, older, have worse talent or are not as good-looking.
Just this once I won't tell her what you said, but senior brother you need to evaluate your own dao heart if you hope to make any progress.
If you keep harboring those slanderous thoughts, you're liable to end up with a horrible mental demon. As spiritual cultivators, our mental strength should be our forte.
Elder Shi, I think senior brother Lifen needs more guidance in his cultivation lest an accident happens," the young lady said as she cast a worried look toward the young man who was in complete disbelief at the moment as to what just happened.
How did his question end up with him disparaging his senior sister and being slanderous and envious? Even his looks were thrown into the mix.
He was just trying to be a cool senior brother and guide her and all he got back was inner demon-inducing jabs and a pity-filled look that made him feel like he was the biggest scum of the continent.
