Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

Yan Zi'an ignored the group of disciples. He looked at Li Xuanfeng not far away and said, "After all these years, you still can't get rid of your bad habits. How can I trust you to pass on my mantle if you act like this?"

Li Xuanfeng no longer looked at Yan Zi'an with any respect. His face was indifferent, and he said in a sarcastic tone, "Master has changed a lot over the years."

"If one didn't know better, one would think that you, Master, are some kind of wicked demon."

Upon hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the Golden Core cultivator behind him immediately rebuked him angrily, "Li Xuanfeng, how dare you speak to your master like that?"

Yan Zi'an glanced indifferently at the Golden Core cultivator who was expressing his anger. A hint of fear flashed in the Golden Core cultivator's eyes, and he quickly apologized, "Master, I'm sorry, I was too talkative!"

After saying that, the Golden Core cultivator immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head, and dared not make another sound.

Yan Zi'an ignored the Golden Core cultivator and continued to say to Li Xuanfeng, "Xuanfeng, you haven't experienced what I've experienced, so you can't understand me, but I won't blame you."

"Whether it was back then or today, as long as you are still willing to call me Master, I will always consider you my best disciple."

Upon hearing Yan Zian's words, Li Xuanfeng immediately bowed to Yan Zian and said, "Master, since that's the case, could you please listen to your rebellious disciple's advice?"

Yan Zi'an: "Speak."

Li Xuanfeng: "Disciple does not wish to judge Master's actions over the years, but the matter of sacrificing childhood girls with blood is truly against the natural order. Please reconsider, Master."

Yan Zi'an gave Li Xuanfeng a deep look, then laughed and said, "Xuanfeng, you've misunderstood your master. My Spirit Sword Sect is a reputable and righteous sect. How could we do such a heinous thing?"

At this point, Yan Zian raised his voice slightly, "I just want to find some promising talents to join the Spirit Sword Sect and train them personally."

"In this way, our Spirit Sword Sect will have successors, and the parents of the chosen children will be able to go to the ground and live a better life."

"Perhaps my unworthy disciples have acted too eccentrically in their daily lives, causing misunderstandings among everyone."

"My intentions were good."

Yan Zi'an's voice contained a faint spiritual power. Although he was speaking normally, everyone in the slum could hear him clearly.

At this moment, many people wavered.

Life on earth... what an unattainable dream that was for them?

Li Xuanfeng knew that this was just Yan Zi'an's rhetoric to deceive everyone. He was about to speak up to refute it when the woman who had run away with the baby earlier walked out of the crowd again.

She knelt down before Yan Zi'an, cradling the child in her hands and offering it to him, "My lord... if it were possible to go to the ground, I... I would be willing to let the child join the Spirit Sword Sect!"

Li Xuanfeng looked at the woman in shock: "You!!!"

The woman did not dare to look at Li Xuanfeng.

Clearly, she knew in her heart that Yan Zi'an was lying.

All she wanted was to get back to the ground.

As the woman offered her child, many who were still hesitating eagerly pulled their children out of the crowd and knelt down before Yan Zi'an.

"My lord, my daughter is under ten years old; she can also join the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Sir! My son can have one too!"

"grown ups……"

In an instant, more and more people pulled their children out of the crowd, just to fight for a spot to return to the ground.

As the crowd grew increasingly frenzied, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, including the Golden Core cultivator, had no choice but to get up and maintain order.

Li Xuanfeng stared blankly at the frenzied crowd around him, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

He couldn't understand why everyone believed Yan Zi'an's clumsy lie so readily!

“Xuanfeng…”

Yan Zi'an walked up to Li Xuanfeng and chuckled, "You see? This is their choice. What I did was... merely fulfill their wishes."

Upon hearing Yan Zian's words, Li Xuanfeng clenched his fists, and the precious sword lying not far away began to tremble slightly.
