Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

361 Family Sects Enter the World

The night wind was cold, and even people with good physical condition would feel uncomfortable standing on the mountaintop.

With a wave of his hand, Shangguan Yun conjured up a giant tent, ten zhang high and twenty zhang in diameter, which covered the open-air helicopter platform on the mountaintop.

Inside the tent were tables, chairs, and a heater. Wang Xueli stepped forward and picked up a teapot, which surprisingly still contained tea, instantly warming everyone's hearts.

Shangguan Yun chuckled. He had only meant to scare them, but now that he saw they meant no harm, he wasn't so serious anymore.

The group poured themselves several cups of hot tea. Zheng Xin ran over and glared at Shangguan Yun with a pout.

Shangguan Yun waved his hand and took out several more packets of melon seeds and snacks, tossing them onto the table.

Zheng Xin beamed with pride, looking smug at everyone.

Everyone was shocked. The commander was indeed extraordinary. What a huge storage space this was! It must be at least a high-grade magic artifact.

After easing the tension, Shangguan Yun changed into casual clothes, sat on a large sofa, and crossed his legs.

"Come on, who wants to go first? I'm giving you this chance today. If you can clear things up, we'll all be friends. If you can't, I'll just make him disappear. Anyway, things are chaotic right now, losing face isn't a big deal."

Everyone was speechless, thinking to themselves that their commander was really unreliable.

Li Song spoke first. He was slightly older and had a higher cultivation level, so he was naturally bolder.

“Commander, it’s not that we’re hiding our identities. We have no ill intentions. Our families sent us out to gain experience, and... we can’t easily reveal our identities…”

“Yes, yes…we are too…” everyone chimed in.

"Shut up, everyone... listen to him!" Zheng Xin shouted from the side while cracking sunflower seeds.

Shangguan Yun neither agreed nor disagreed, but nodded, signaling Li Song to continue.

Li Song tentatively said, "However, since the commander is a cultivator, there are some things that can naturally be said."

But I'd like to ask... Commander, which sect's elite are you from? I haven't heard of any major cultivation sects outside the pass before... Hehe..."

Shangguan Yun thought to himself that these guys all had the same problem: when they came out to travel the world, they would start by exchanging pleasantries.

However, Shangguan Yun thought again that he couldn't always be without a sect or faction. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of time explaining himself every time. It seemed that he still needed to find a powerful backer.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun pondered for a moment, then coughed and said, "I am... a core disciple of the... secluded sect of Changbai Mountain, um... Tianshui Palace."

"You wouldn't know if I told you, it's a hidden sect... incredibly powerful..." He deliberately raised his voice as he spoke, to shock these guys.

"Oh...never heard of it..." they all said in unison.

"Damn it... then you all tell me, which sect or faction are you from? You're all in the cultivation world, what's there to be afraid of? Stop being so long-winded and fussy like worldly forces!" Shangguan Yun roared.

The group exchanged glances, then stood up, took a few steps back, and clasped their hands in a fist salute.

"I am Li Song, a direct disciple of the Li family, one of the eight great families of China."

"I am Zhao Guangyu, a core disciple of the Zhao family, one of the eight great families of China."

"I am Liu Zhilei, an inner disciple of the Liu family, one of the eight great families of China."

"I am Zhu Hanhua, an inner disciple of the Zhu family, one of the eight great families of China."

"I am Kong Lingchen, an inner disciple of the Confucian family of Shandong."

"I am Wang Xueli, a disciple of the Huashan Sect."

"I am Yang Guisen, a disciple of Wudang."

"I am Zhang Jingkun from Longhu Mountain."

"I am Lu Quanshui, a recluse from Lingnan."

"I am Yu Zhiwen, a reclusive scholar from Beiping."

Even Shangguan Yun, who was used to seeing the world, was taken aback upon hearing this!

What eight great families, what sect cultivators, what cultivation clans—we've finally met them all today. It seems this isn't a coincidence that these people have come to the Tiger Guard Army for training as a group.

Shangguan Yun turned his head and looked at Zheng Xin, who was eating sunflower seeds. A strange smile appeared on Zheng Xin's leisurely face, revealing two rows of small white teeth.

It means, "You've seen it, haven't you? We're not ordinary people..."

"Oh, everyone... um, it's an honor to meet you. Please have a seat..."

Shangguan Yun organized his thoughts and said, "Gentlemen, since you have come from afar, my Tiger Guard Army naturally has the proper way to treat you. But I wonder what you mean by 'training'? Are you here to help me, or what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shangguan Yun with strange eyes, as if to say, "Are you even one of us?"

Shangguan Yun was quite embarrassed. Zheng Xin chimed in, "Well, our commander is from a reclusive sect outside the Great Wall. He might not be familiar with some of the rules of the martial world. Li Song, could you explain them to the commander?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that talking to the commander was a bit tiring, but the commander's cultivation was no joke and he should not be underestimated.

Li Song didn't care. He stood up and looked at everyone. "Gentlemen, Commander, we are all cultivators. I won't hold back my words."

Whether you are independent cultivators, members of sects, or have come with a mission, or for personal purposes, I am not talented, but I have been sent by my family to the border to find a benefactor, and then assist him in achieving great things.

I have already informed the elders of this matter. The eldest elder said that as long as we can assist our esteemed lord in conquering the three northeastern provinces and the Tiger Guard Army gains a firm foothold, hehe, when I return, I will have hope of achieving Foundation Establishment! Hehe!
