Author: Larvender_Knight
—--------------
Currently, Outside the Sect's Main Gate, that was the entrance to the Outer Disciples Mountain.
This Gate connected the outside world with the Sect lands. It was a majestic Gate, with its both sides protected by a massive array, holy statues of the Sword Saint Yang on both sides of the Gate.
Right now, Two Disciples wearing grey robes with silver stripes, awaited Feng Jiao-long in this Gate for the recruitment mission. As both of them carried different expressions. One of them was infuriated by the waiting, the other one calm as water. Both of them folded their arms, tapping their fingers patiently.
Swing!
Bam!
"Graa! Where the hell is he! We are already past the meeting time, doesn't he know how to read the time.." The first Disciples complained, furiously kicking the rock near him and scattering it into smithren.
The two guards, who guarded the entrance of the Sect, ignoring the grumbling of this Disciple.
Fufu~
"Brother Dong, you should quench your anger. You know who our team leader is right?" The Second Disciples then said, reminding the first one about the reputation of Feng Jiao-long.
Cheh!
"I know, Prince Feng the Prince of Slaughter. You don't have to remind me about that…"
'Even, I don't want to offend him.' Core Disciple Dong inwardly thought, deciding to patiently wait for Feng Jiao-long to arrive.
Soon, time passes by…
Dong Jin getting more and more irritated, looking at the never changing smiley face of his comrade in this mission, Yige Li Hua ranked fifth among the Core Disciples.
'Why do I have to be on the same team as this bitch.' Dong Jin grumbled, glaring at her and remembering the rumours about her.
He was ranked fourth among the Core Disciples. So, he should have expected to be teamed with her.
Ho~
"What happened, Brother Dong. Don't tell me you have fallen for me. Just after this short meeting." Yige Li Hua then mischievously said, caughting Dong Jin staring at her.
She gave a flirtatious wink, licking her juicy lips. She played with her crimson red hair, her red pupil carrying a mysterious charm.
Blush!
'Damn it, this bitch is real. And, who is she being so friendly with! I'm the son of the First Elder, she needs to be taught a lesson on how to be polite.' Dong Jin arrogantly exclaimed, taking a few steps back. His cheeks red from the flirtatious wink of Yige Li Hua. He quickly controlled his blushy face, as he knew this had something to do with that seductive technique she practices.
So, claiming his inner desire. He tried threatening her, from ever trying this technique on him.
"You damn wret—"
When…
Swooosh!
"This Gatekeeper greets the Head Disciple!"
"This Gatekeeper greets the Head Disciple!" Both the gatekeepers of the sect shouted, cupping their fist and bowing their heads.
Both the Core Disciples attention immediately directed towards the sky, from where a man wearing a grey robe and a colourless sleeve slowly descended.
Fufu~
'So, he is the Prince of Slaughter. He looks completely different, from what the rumours say about him.' Yige Li Hua inwardly judged, looking at the figure descending toward them. She and Dong Jin quickly cupped their fists, bowing their heads as a sign of respect.
"Core Disciple Yige Li Hua greets the Senior Head Disciple Feng."
"Core Disciple Dong Jin greets the Head Disciple." Both of them politely greeted. Dong Jin trying to hide his displeasure at him for arriving late.
Feng Jiao-long soon landed on the ground, giving a casual nod.
Sniff!
'Oh~ Is it what I smell, it to be.' Yige Li Hua mischievously chuckled, smelling the sweet odour of womens coming from Feng Jiao-long body.
Hmm?
'That girl.' Feng Jiao-long squinted his eyes, turning to Yige Li Hua, who quickly averted her gaze.
'Opps, he caught me~' Yige Li Hua thought, bowing her head as an apology for smelling him.
"So, you two are my team members on this mission?" Feng Jiao-long asked, checking both the disciples.
'Both of them are in the 7th layer of the King Transformation Realm. They could be of some use, if an emergency does arrive.' Feng Jiao-long thought, making both the disciples alittle uncomfortable from his glare.
As…
"Yes, Prince Feng. We were ordered by the Sect Master to be under you. I'm honoured to work with you in this mission." Yige Li Hua first answered, using a little coquettish tone.
"Okay, then why don't we introduce ourselves first." Feng Jiao-long then said, giving a quick Look to both of them.
"This Disciple is the fourth ranked Core Disciple, Dong Jin. I am a High-level King Transformation, my specialty is illusion swords." Dong Jin first introduced himself, not mentioning his background as he usually does.
"This single lady is the fifth ranked Core Disciple, Yige Li Hua. I am also a High-level King Transformation Realm Cultivator, I practice the Withered Rose Saint Manual." Yige Li Hua then introduced, giving a beautiful smile.
'!!, a Saint Manual Practitioner!' Dong Jin was left speechless for a second there, as he tried saying something but was interrupted by Feng Jiao-long.
"Oh, so you are the newly appeared Saint Manual user, who was taken as a personal Disciple by the Exalted Great Elder, Sword Fairy Cao Daiyu." Feng Jiao-long said, receiving a nod from Yige Li Hua.
Dong Jin couldn't help but clench his chest tight in the background.
'Personal Disciple of a Great Elder! I was trying to threaten her. How foolish of me!' Dong Jin screamed, thinking of how arrogant he was about his background being that of the son of the First Elder.
"Oh? What happened, Brother Dong. Is there a problem, why are you coughing blood?" Yige Li Hua asked, noticing Dong Jin coughing blood in the background.
"Ah! Nothing, nothing at all Sister Yige. I was just giving my blood some open air." Dong Jin swiftly answered, quickly wiping the blood off his lips.
"Okay… now, since both of you have introduced yourself. Let me introduce myself…'
"... I'm the fourth Head Disciple of the Sect, Feng Jiao-long. I am also the Holy Prince of the Great Denglong Empire, known as the Prince of Slaughter by my Empire. I am a Quasi-Emperor Realm Cultivator, specialising in Saint Manual. I'm also a three star Alchemist." Feng Jiao-long casually said, introducing a few of his feats that he achieved.
Both, the Core Disciples, who heard it. Couldn't help but look at him with awe, alittle surprised hearing him being a Three-star Alchemist.
In this land of Cultivation, where strength is everything. There are two other factors, which can be equally matched with cultivation.
That being the path of Alchemy and Refining.
The ranks of Alchemist and Refiners are evaluated in the star system, with higher the star one carried. The better they are evaluated to be by the Alchemist Alliance.
There are a total of five-star in the evaluation. While the one carrying the Three-star badge getting the respect in the same amount, an Outer Elder of the any Main Sects could receive by the world.
"Alright, then since we have introduced ourselves. Let's move on, we don't have all day to talk. We have to travel the entire Northern Plains, and choose good seedlings for the Sect." Feng Jiao-long said, gesturing to move.
'Hateful! Isn't it your who arrived this late.' Ding Jun inwardly shouted, Yige Li Hua sheepishly chuckling. She didn't know what to say, as both of them just agreed.
"As you say Prince Feng." Both of them said, moving with Feng Jiao-long.
A holographic frame popped infront of Feng Jiao-long, that only he could see.
Ding!

…
[Tang Kingdom]
A flourishing Kingdom, under the jurisdiction of Great Denglong Empire. It was located in the far Northern Plain of the Empire, beautiful snowy mountains within this Plain.
It's all four sides were protected by natural sky reaching mountains, and dangerous forests filled with flesh hungry Beasts. It was a nature-made border of Tang Kingdom.
Currently, In the Great Tang Capital City of Tang Kingdom.
"The world is pure, as is the heart of the being living in this world…"
"... Look! How the dragon pridefully dominates the sky. Look! How the White Tiger rules the forest. This is the world of strength, as the majestic being dominates the land." A lady sang, dancing among the crowds.
"Amazing!"
"Beautiful, what a beautiful dance!" Crowd joyously cheered, everyone happily celebrating the traditional festival of the Tang Kingdom.
This festival was celebrated once a decade, just a day before the envoys of the Main Sect appeared to recruit Disciples from them.
Currently, In the Tang Castle.
Inside the Throne room, all the officials to the tKing were presented. All of them were wearing silk robes, with golden tiger embroidered.
"Your Majesty, we have been told by the Tens Thousands Saint Sword Sect that this year. They have sent a Head Disciple as the envoy for the recruitment ceremony." An old official reported, bowing his head.
"A Head Disciple?!" Every officials presented in the room, exclaiming in surprise.
'A Head Disciple? They must have done it because of the danger of the Union.' King Tang thought, hearing the report.
He was a middle-aged man, with a bulky build… wearing a silk dragon robe. He had tied his hair, wearing a crown.
"Which Head Disciple are they sending?" King Tang asked, looking at his old official for the answer.
"This… "
"This, what?"
"It is the Fourth Head Disciple, Prince Feng Jiao-long." The Old official nervously said, the room immediately turned tense.
Bam!
"What! Prince Feng will be appearing here!" King Tang exclaimed, his calm majestic demeanour immediately breaking into a stupor.
'No, This can't be happening. If the Prince arrives here.' King Tang nervously thought, quickly getting up his throne.
