I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1667
Chapter 1667: The Sect Leader’s Address
An Lin walked onto the stage with Xue Zhantian on his chest, and he felt quite pleased with himself as he looked at all of the enthusiastic sect disciples gathered below the stage.
“There are many new faces here. You are probably listening to me delivering an address for the first time.”
An Lin smiled as he looked at the countless pairs of scorching eyes aimed up at him. “In reality, I had wanted to hold this celebration when we destroyed the Southern Heavenly Gate, but there wasn’t enough time as I had more urgent matters to attend to.
“Now, we can combine the celebrations of destroying the Northern Heavenly Gate and Southern Heavenly Gate into one, which saves me the hassle of having to deliver two speeches.”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Many of the newbie disciples present had been completely overawed by An Lin’s nonchalance.
Destroying any one of the Heavenly Gates was a feat that could shake the entire world and would be worthy of a worldwide celebration. However, their Sect Leader An Lin had destroyed two Heavenly Gates and was only thinking about holding a simple celebration as it would mean less hassle for him!
“In the beginning, I created this sect as a place for all my friends and fellow students to cultivate and improve together. Those were simpler times.”
A resigned expression appeared on An Lin’s face. “However, before I knew it, the Four Nine Immortal Sect has become one of the most powerful sects on the entire continent, as well as the leader of the five great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States… As for how this sect became so bad*ss, I honestly do not know.”
Xu Xiaolan’s lips twitched.
All of the disciples were astonished.
Was he serious?
An Lin took a deep breath and met the astonished eyes of all of the disciples. “However, the undeniable truth is that our sect is really powerful now, and as such, we should shoulder the responsibility that should be shouldered by a top-rate immortal sect! Regardless of whether it’s in our pursuit of dao or our pursuit of justice, we should make sure that we do not have any regrets!”
All of the disciples involuntarily sat up straighter.
In reality, they had always been bringing it upon themselves to exercise those values. Not only did they all possess an exemplary moral compass, but all of them had also fought valiantly against the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army and were always the first to eliminate demonic sects that posed a threat to the innocent.
They had done their very best and had certainly not brought shame to the sect.
It had to be said that the pavilion lords and elders really did have quite the discerning eye when picking disciples. An Lin could see from the expressions of all of the disciples that all of them had upheld those values he elaborated on.
“As members of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, we are all family. If you encounter any difficulties, you can request help from your family, and the sect will do its best to help you. But if you do anything that violates the values of the sect, then we will renounce you.”
All of the disciples nodded upon hearing this. The Four Nine Immortal Sect had given them a great deal of freedom, but the sect had always exercised a zero-tolerance policy when it came to misbehaving sect disciples.
Three years ago, a core disciple of the sect had raped a female cultivator from an ordinary sect. After Elder Xiao Chou found out about this, he gave that disciple a forced vasectomy, disabled his cultivation base, then carried that disciple on his back all the way to that sect as a gesture of apology.
This event had created quite a stir across the entire Kingdom of the Nine States.
There were almost no scummy individuals within the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If one did arise, then the elders and pavilion lords would definitely not side with them. Instead, they would enforce brutal punishments. This was why the Four Nine Immortal Sect had always had an exemplary reputation.
Of course, there were a few cases that went a little over the top.
For example, about ten years ago, a beautiful female disciple from the Moon Pavilion was out picking medicinal herbs when she was captured and raped by the elder of another sect.
The elder had thought that he had left no traces behind, but he had also underestimated just how far the Four Nine Immortal Sect was willing to go for its disciples. In order to find that female disciple, Xu Xiaolan even went to High Priest Yu Feiyu of the West Sea Alliance to conduct divination in order to find that sect.
After seeing the thoroughly ravaged Moon Pavilion disciple, Su Qianyun slew five hundred and twenty-one accomplices within that sect in her fit of rage!
The accomplices referred to here simply meant that they knew that their elder had captured a poor female cultivator.
And the five hundred and twenty-one cultivators referred to here equated to the entire population of that sect!
That elder was only allowed to die after enduring unimaginably brutal torture.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect had no tolerance for misbehaving sect disciples, but they also had zero tolerance for others who dared to mistreat their disciples!
Had they gone too far? It did appear to be the case.
However, this was the way that the Four Nine Immortal Sect had done things for over a hundred years!
It was a very stoic way of doing things, but no one could detest them for it. Instead, countless people clambered to join this sect. A sect like this was simply far too attractive.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect had already become the cultivating holy land for the human race.
Half of the graduates from The United University of Cultivation wanted to join the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Court were like the equivalent of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the mortal world. Choosing which one you wanted to go to was a problem. Oh, wait, the problem was whether they would accept you.
The Heavenly Court accepted all university graduates, but the Four Nine Immortal Sect was very careful with its recruitments and recruited very few disciples per intake. It was exactly because of this that the Four Nine Immortal Sect was almost viewed as more prestigious than the Heavenly Court.
An Lin heard a lot about these matters from Xu Xiaolan, and he was greatly impressed as a result. He was elated that Xu Xiaolan had taken such good care of the sect during his absence.
When he had disappeared, the Four Nine Immortal Sect was still the weakest among the five great sects. Now, they were by far the most powerful, and this was all thanks to Xiaolan’s efforts.
An Lin proceeded to talk about a few more things, including introducing the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s newest elder, Dongfang Zhuangshi, to everyone!
This created another stir within the sect.
Dongfang Zhuangshi, the Demonic Blood Kirin, a super mighty figure at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage!
Following the demise of Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong, he was the most powerful being in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, but he had become an elder of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If word of this was to spread, the Four Nine Immortal Sect would most likely be dominating the headlines again for quite some time…
An Lin’s address was reaching its conclusion.
“Becoming the leader of the five great sects is not the pinnacle for the Four Nine Immortal Sect. We have become the number one immortal sect in the Kingdom of the Nine States in just a hundred years. We still have countless more years to climb higher!
“The Four Nine Immortal Sect is not only going to become number one in the Tai Chu Continent. It’s going to become number one in the entire universe! Do you have the confidence to make the Four Nine Immortal Sect known across the entire universe?!”
Upon hearing their sect leader’s extraordinarily arrogant words, all of the sect disciples present felt as if a flame had been set alight in their chests.
“We do!!!”
A unanimous reply resounded throughout heaven and earth.
These were the genuine, heartfelt cries of countless supremely talented and ambitious disciples.
Not only were Xu Xiaolan and the others moved by these words, but even An Lin himself was also feeling a little emotional.
“Now then, let us continue to forge ahead!” An Lin smiled before walking off the stage.
Thunderous cheers and applause erupted.
“Forge ahead!”
“Forge ahead!”
“Sect Leader An Lin, I love you!!!”
“Sect Leader Xiaolan, we love you too!”
Some of the female disciples in the sect didn’t want to die yet, so they added on that last sentence.
Countless disciples yelled out Sect Leader An Lin’s name at the top of their lungs.
The scorching flames burning in their eyes mirrored the inferno raging through their hearts.
Fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up all of their faces. They were all so enthusiastic and full of hope. Everyone felt like a beacon had appeared in their hearts, and they were going to follow that beacon of light and continued to forge ahead!
