章 10: Chapter 10
Li Qingyang is a top-tier genius in the eyes of all factions, and his lowest future achievement is expected to be the rank of King of War.
On the other hand, the Ironbone Sect is considered a joke among the factions, with the potential to dissolve tomorrow and become a mere footnote in history.
The gap between the top talent and a trash martial arts sect is vast, like 108,000 miles.
No one had expected Li Qingyang to stop in front of the Ironbone Sect and openly speak to its leader!
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Jun Changxiao, all secretly wondering how this mediocre leader could make a genius take the initiative to talk.
Deacon Sun of Changdaomen and the disciples of Hu Xiaozong had flattering smiles on their faces.
The top genius of Qingyang City had not even glanced their way, but now stood next to the head of this garbage sect, talking to him.
"Is this a dream?" Deacon Sun wondered, pinching his face and feeling pain.
It wasn't a dream; it was true!
Li Qingyang, with top-quality spiritual roots and the audacity to reject a fifth-tier sect, was really talking to the head of the Ironbone Sect!
"Yes," Jun Changxiao replied. "I am the head of the Ironbone Sect."
Everyone gasped.
A trash martial arts leader, where did he get the confidence to remain so composed in front of a genius and introduce himself?
And Li Qingyang, speaking to him voluntarily, did he not care about his reputation as the top genius?
To the various factions, the Ironbone Sect was garbage, and garbage should stay in the corner, not become the center of attention.
To be honest, this was jealousy.
Why was the superior genius not talking to them, but to a trash sect instead?
Li Qingyang bowed slightly and said apologetically, "I left in a hurry last time and didn't even say thanks."
Everyone was dumbfounded again.
The top genius of Qingyang City was apologizing to this guy!
Even Lu Lu next to him was surprised.
It's hard to imagine that the best genius in a city would apologize to the head of a trash sect. Had he lost his mind?
It seemed that good deeds indeed had good rewards! Jun Changxiao felt delighted, and his earlier irritation vanished.
He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Li Gongzi, it was a small matter. You don't need to mention it."
Lu Lu: "..."
She clearly remembered the head muttering, "That guy has good morals but no gratitude. It's infuriating!"
Li Qingyang smiled and asked, "Can you tell me more about the Ironbone Sect?"
What? The martial artists around almost dropped their jaws.
The top genius of Qingyang City wanted to learn about the Ironbone Sect. Was he planning to join?
The disciples of Hu Xiaozong looked extremely uncomfortable. They had made a bet, mocking Jun Changxiao.
What was the bet? They bet that no one would consult the Ironbone Sect during the recruitment.
But now? Not only was someone consulting, but it was Li Qingyang, the top genius of Qingyang City!
Their faces stung with embarrassment.
"Ding!"
"Side mission triggered!"
While the crowd was shocked, Jun Changxiao heard a system prompt.
He quickly opened the martial arts system panel and saw that the side mission was to explain the glorious history of the Ironbone Sect and persuade Qingyang City's top genius to join.
Persuading Li Qingyang was one thing, but explaining the glorious history of the Ironbone Sect? That was tricky!
A sect with no long-standing history.
A sect with only one disciple.
What glorious history could there be?
Was he supposed to tell them that the former head visited a brothel and escaped from prison? Was that the most glorious history of the entire sect?
This side mission seemed impossible!
Jun Changxiao, though feeling discouraged, started brainstorming ways to complete the task and earn contribution points.
Although there was no glorious history, he could always make one up!
After organizing his thoughts, Jun Changxiao said, "Li Gongzi, in the eyes of the world, my Ironbone Sect is seen as a small, insignificant sect."
Everyone chuckled.
Since he knew his place, why did he even participate in the recruitment?
"However," Jun Changxiao continued seriously, "the Ironbone Sect is actually an ancient sect with a long history and profound heritage!"
"An ancient sect?"
"Hahaha, don't make me laugh!"
"It's clearly a sect established casually. Now you're saying it has ancient origins? This guy is delusional!"
The martial artists laughed mockingly.
Even Lu Lu, standing behind him, had a face full of black lines.
How could he claim the Ironbone Sect had ancient roots?
Li Qingyang, however, seemed intrigued. "Can you elaborate?"
"..."
The surrounding warriors were speechless.
Was Qingyang City's top genius also out of his mind, listening to this nonsense?
But then again, anyone who would refuse a fifth-tier sect might just do that!
"Li Gongzi," Jun Changxiao began, "have you heard of the East China Sea?"
Li Qingyang nodded. "I've heard of it."
To the east of the Starfall Continent lies a vast ocean filled with numerous sea beasts, a very dangerous area.
Jun Changxiao continued, "At the end of the East China Sea lies a proud country. Have you heard of it?"
"Proud country?"
Li Qingyang shook his head. "I've only read about the East China Sea in books and have never actually been there. So, I don't know of any country existing there."
More than he didn't know, even the elders of the Cangshan Sect present had never heard of such a country.
Jun Changxiao went on, "In that proud country, there are two sacred mountains. One is Huaguo Mountain, and the other is Ironbone Mountain. Our Ironbone Sect originates from Ironbone Mountain, a place where immortals dwell!"
He was essentially narrating the story of Journey to the West!
While it seemed absurd, the warriors of the Starfall Continent had never heard of it, so they were stunned.
Some even began to wonder if there really was a proud country and Ironbone Mountain in the East China Sea.
"This is nonsense!"
At this moment, the elder from the Cangshan Sect stepped forward and said, "The East China Sea is extremely dangerous. Even powerful warriors avoid it. There are no records of any proud country or Ironbone Mountain!"
"Exactly!"
"I have been reading books since childhood, and I am familiar with astronomy and geography. I have never heard of the Aolai and Tiegushan in the East China Sea!"
"This guy is obviously making up stories!"
"Damn, does he think we're three-year-olds?"
Everyone felt their intelligence was being insulted and were very angry.
"Old man," Jun Changxiao said lightly, "I can only say that you know nothing about the Starfall Continent."
"..."
The elder's mouth twitched.
A novice at the open pulse level dared to say that the Cangshan Sect elder knew nothing!
"Alright! Alright!" The elder said angrily, "If I am ignorant, then please enlighten us, Head Jun. What is your sacred Sun Wukong, and where does he belong?"
Making up a story? Let's see how deep he can go with his fabrication!
