Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses
Chapter 740 - 639: Beast Tamer Sect and Social Circles (Combined - )_2
"Hey, I don’t know if we’ll break through or not.
I only know that Brother Wan is here, and if we join forces, even a Trench Patrol Guest is worth fighting against. What is there to fear?"
"Hahaha..."
The two had been separated for a long time and caught up for quite a while.
Afterwards, Gao Wenxuan pulled the bearded man’s arm and introduced him to Lou Yi and the others:
"This is my close friend Wan Xiaolou, a True Inheritance from the Beast Control Sect.
He’s under eighty years old and already at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform, far surpassing me in talent and intelligence."
’Beast Control Sect?’ Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Even Shen Aoqun, who was usually arrogant, became serious.
The Beast Control Sect, as the name suggests, is a sect that controls beasts and is one of the leaders in this field.
It is also a major sect in the Central Continent, one of the twenty-four prestigious sects, and has produced Nascent Soul True Monarchs in its history.
The current Sect Leader of the Beast Control Sect, Master Wan Shou, possesses three Great Demon level Spirit Pets. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
His cultivation is outstanding among all Masters, rumored to be one of the top contenders for breaking through to the True Monarch stage.
Everyone present had only learned about the existence of the Beast Control Sect through some records and rumors.
Now, seeing someone from the sect for the first time, they were naturally excited.
"Oh, Brother Gao, who are these people?" The bearded man from the Beast Control Sect asked with a smile.
"This is Shen Aoqun from the True Blood Sect. Although we’ve just met, our personalities match quite well," Gao Wenxuan said, pointing to Shen Aoqun.
Lou Yi and Xin Zhiqing, standing behind, exchanged a silent glance when they heard this.
Gao Wenxuan’s introductions clearly showed a distinction in closeness.
He introduced the person from the Beast Control Sect as a close friend while describing Shen Aoqun as someone he got along with—there’s a significant difference.
"True Blood Sect? Which sect is that? I’ve never heard of it," the bearded man asked in confusion.
"It’s a sect from the Northern Domain..." Gao Wenxuan replied.
"Northern Domain, that remote corner?
I remember there isn’t even a sect there qualified to join the Immortal Dao Alliance." The bearded man’s smile instantly faded, and his tone carried a blatant disdain.
He didn’t need to hide his opinions in front of members from a weaker sect.
Just like Lou Yi’s previous life, where major countries had attitudes toward smaller countries.
Upon hearing this, Shen Aoqun, who had been smiling, had his smile freeze completely, and a furious fire burned in his eyes.
"Our sect is currently lacking in strength, but it’s only temporary. Who knows in the future..."
Before Shen Aoqun could finish, the bearded man Wan Xiaolou interrupted mercilessly, "Then we’ll talk when that day comes."
"Ahem, these people are all cultivators from the Northern Domain." Gao Wenxuan quickly introduced Jin Tingfeng and Lou Yi and his group.
Wan Xiaolou wasn’t interested, saying expressionlessly, "Brother Gao, you do have a wide social circle and leisure.
I just came from another Su District; I’m a bit tired and will go rest first."
With that, a black shadow flew out from him, enlarged in the air, and landed next to the painting residence.
It was a gigantic black toad, six or seven zhang tall.
The toad opened its mouth, revealing a bottomless path, and Wan Xiaolou shot inside with a ’whoosh’.
The toad closed its mouth and remained motionless, like a stone statue.
No one would have guessed there was someone from the Beast Control Sect resting inside.
"Heh, please don’t mind. My brother here is just straightforward," Gao Wenxuan said with a somewhat apologetic smile to Shen Aoqun and the others.
"No worries, different folks, different strokes. We won’t take it to heart," Shen Aoqun, still with a somewhat stiff face, forced a smile and suppressed his anger.
"The disciples of the Beast Control Sect really look down on others too much. Though we come from smaller sects, our future achievements might not be lower than his!" Ru Ziyun from Qingluan Palace was also indignant, her chest heaving with anger.
"Heh, everyone, please rest well and don’t take it to heart." Gao Wenxuan continued to play the peacekeeper.
After bidding farewell to everyone, he proceeded to another cottage to rest.
In the following days, more figures with grand auras descended beside the painting residence one after another.
They mostly came from well-known major sects in the Central Continent.
There was a sword cultivator from Beichen Sword Sect, clad in a simple dark Daoist robe, exuding an extremely sharp aura, with eyes gleaming as if they could pierce a person—clearly a formidable character.
Beichen Sword Sect is also one of the twenty-four prestigious sects within the Immortal Dao Alliance, its status not inferior to the Two Forms Sect or Beast Control Sect.
The current sect leader, Master Tai Sha, is quite formidable. His flying sword has killed so many of the same rank that they can’t be counted on one hand.
A beautiful female cultivator from Youyue Sect, wearing a black long dress, her aura cold like an orchid in an empty valley, her appearance only slightly inferior to Xin Zhiqing’s, but showing a cool indifference to everyone.
A steady male cultivator from Danxia Sect, with a constant kind smile at the corners of his mouth, dressed in a plain white Daoist robe, emanating a faint medicinal fragrance.
But his cultivation is impressive and not weaker than that of Gao Wenxuan, Wan Xiaolou, and a few others.
However, these well-known sect cultivators generally only engage with people from sects in the Central Continent and don’t pay much attention to the Northern Domain folks.
Those with some courtesy, such as a cultivator from the Money Sect, still exchanged pleasantries with Jin Tingfeng and others with a cheerful smile.
But he had ulterior motives, wanting to see if he could trade for valuable treasures for himself.
Upon realizing they had nothing he desired, his demeanor quickly cooled, and he stopped speaking to them.
Others who came to chat often only approached Xin Zhiqing, harboring ill intentions.
After all, female cultivators with her temperament were rare even in the Central Continent.
