"Dao Sect?"
Lin Dong frowned slightly. Little Marten stared at the token in Wu Dao Old Man's hand for a couple of glances, and after confirming that it matched what he had heard, he transformed into human form.
Sensing the movement, Lin Dong turned his head to look, only to see that the massive purplish-black demonic beast was gone, replaced by a youth dressed in purplish-black clothing.
However, looking at the youth's handsome, even somewhat bewitching, young face, the corners of Lin Dong's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Even Wu Dao Old Man revealed a look of surprise in his eyes, and after reacting, he chuckled and tried to get closer.
"Unexpectedly, this friend from the Sky Demon Marten clan is so handsome; I dare say I've never seen such beauty in my life!"
Little Marten, who was initially a bit embarrassed by Lin Dong's gaze, couldn't help but smile upon hearing Wu Dao Old Man's words, making him appear even more bewitching.
"Cough, Little Marten, what exactly is the background of this Dao Sect?"
At this time, asking Yan was obviously useless. Dao Sect wasn't an Ancient Sect at all, and Yan had never heard of the name.
Little Marten, who already had a smile on his face, couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth from rising even higher after hearing Lin Dong's question. The look in his eyes towards Lin Dong also carried a hint of pride, making Lin Dong feel both amused and exasperated. This guy still liked to compete with Yan even after transforming.
"Dao Sect is one of the eight super sects in your Eastern Xuan Region. You could say their strength is not bad."
"To be recognized by the Sky Demon Marten clan, my Dao Sect feels deeply honored!"
Wu Dao Old Man cupped his fist at Little Marten with a chuckle, being extremely polite, which instead made Lin Dong feel a little embarrassed. He quickly spoke up.
"Junior Lin Dong greets Vice Hall Master Wu Dao. This is my brother, Lin Diao!"
Standing next to Lin Dong, Little Marten couldn't help but open his mouth after hearing Lin Dong's address, but in the end, he didn't say anything to refute it, tacitly accepting this name that didn't sound very pleasant.
"This kid is quite sensible. Since you called me Vice Hall Master, then this old man will give you a chance. How about joining my Dao Sect?"
Wu Dao Old Man said with a smile, that smile resembling an old fox coaxing a little white rabbit. The simple Lin Dong didn't think too much, and just scratched his head, saying with a dry laugh.
"This, Senior, Lin Dong doesn't know much about these things, so how about..."
Although what Wu Dao Old Man said was very tempting, Lin Dong always felt that there was something fishy about it. However, before Lin Dong could finish speaking, Little Marten reached out and pulled Lin Dong, explaining in a low voice amidst Lin Dong's puzzled gaze.
"Lin Dong, don't rush to refuse. You can talk to this old guy. Marten Lord, I've heard that a hundred years ago, Dao Sect produced a ruthless character who directly stormed Yuan Gate and killed three elders in a row."
"I didn't expect that the name of my Senior Brother Zhou Tong could spread to the Demon Region!"
Although Little Marten's voice was low, he didn't deliberately avoid Wu Dao Old Man. With Wu Dao Old Man's Life Profound Realm strength, he could naturally hear it clearly. Immediately, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Lin Dong and Little Marten both had a look of astonishment flash across their faces after hearing Wu Dao Old Man's words. Neither of them had expected that there would be such a connection. Lin Dong's expression became even more awkward. Bringing up such a sad matter in front of someone else seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Senior, Little Marten misspoke for a moment..."
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine!"
Wu Dao Old Man waved his hand, not minding at all, and there was even a hint of gratification in his eyes. Perhaps, he was also admiring his senior brother's excellence.
"Back then, my senior brother was able to kill three Yuan Gate elders by relying on my Desolate Hall's Great Desolate Scripture. If you are willing to join my Dao Sect, this old man is willing to recruit you into my Desolate Hall, how about it?"
"Great Desolate Scripture!"
Just as Lin Dong was looking at the smiling Wu Dao Old Man, being bewitched and tempted by the other party, Yan's exclamation suddenly rang out in Lin Dong's heart, directly startling Lin Dong awake.
"Yan, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Great Desolate Scripture?"
"Lin Dong, never mind, agree to him. Also, it's best to find a way to bring that monster along with you."
Yan didn't say much, possibly fearing that Wu Dao Old Man would notice something amiss. So, after giving a word of caution, he directly went silent. However, Lin Dong felt it wasn't the reason. Instead, Yan seemed to be hiding something from him.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Dong didn't delve too deeply. Since Yan had said so, he was happy to go along with it. Moreover, the Wu Dao Old Man in front of him gave him a good impression and didn't seem to harbor any ill will towards Little Marten.
"Disciple Lin Dong greets Hall Master Wu Dao!"
Immediately, Lin Dong cupped his fist and greeted the Wu Dao Old Man without hesitation, catching Little Marten off guard. He wanted to stop Lin Dong, but it was too late, almost making Little Marten's nose crooked with anger. Even if you want to agree, you should discuss the terms and benefits first!
"Hahaha, no need to be so polite. Our Dao Sect doesn't have so many rules. You can just call me Martial Uncle."
The Wu Dao Old Man was also stunned by Lin Dong's quick agreement. He had prepared many conditions in his heart, such as allowing Lin Dong to learn the town hall martial arts of the other three halls, and planned to discuss them with Lin Dong one by one. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
As for those conditions, the Wu Dao Old Man was very confident that the other three halls would not object. After all, how could a genius be treated the same as ordinary disciples? This was the controller of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol. When the news was reported to the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader directly suppressed all objections.
If you have the ability, your other three halls can bring Sword Saint into the Dao Sect, and his Desolate Hall will directly offer the Great Desolate Tablet for him to comprehend as many times as he wants!
However, the Wu Dao Old Man reacted extremely quickly. Seeing Lin Dong agree, he directly flipped his hand and took out two tokens, throwing them to Lin Dong with a smile.
"From now on, you are a disciple of my Dao Sect. In the Ancient Space, disciples of other super sects will generally give our Dao Sect some face. However, you must be careful of Yuan Gate and its affiliated super dynasty disciples!"
At the end, the Wu Dao Old Man's expression became serious, and he stared at Little Marten with a solemn expression, and solemnly instructed.
"Especially this friend of the Sky Demon Marten Clan, remember to hide your true form, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be great trouble!"
"What trouble? Just those Yuan Gate disciples, Marten Lord will kill one if they come!"
Little Marten felt a chill in his heart when he heard the Wu Dao Old Man's words, and he couldn't help waving his hand and said in a deep voice. However, the Wu Dao Old Man's solemn expression did not dissipate.
"This time, the Yuan Gate is probably not sending Nirvana Realm or Life and Death Profound Realm guys. If I'm not mistaken, the Yuan Gate Sect Leader is probably coming in person, and there may be more than one!"
Lin Dong and Little Marten's expressions changed instantly when they heard this, and they looked at the Wu Dao Old Man with some horror, wanting to see something from him, but the Wu Dao Old Man's face had always been that solemn and serious expression.
Little Marten's heart sank slightly. Although his hiding methods were good, it was still very difficult to hide his true form in front of a Revolving Wheel Realm expert. After all, even in his prime, he had not reached the Revolving Wheel Realm.
Lin Dong's expression was also a bit serious. Immediately afterwards, a flash of inspiration seemed to flash through his mind, and he immediately thought of something. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Little Marten, who had recovered, directly preempted him and gave Lin Dong a wink at the same time.
"A mere Hundred Dynasty War doesn't seem to be worth the Yuan Gate Sect Leader's personal visit, right?"
"A Hundred Dynasty War is not enough, but a few months ago, the Attendant in charge of the Hundred Dynasty War in Yuan Gate was killed by Sword Saint with a single Sword, which directly alarmed the three great Sect Leaders of Yuan Gate. If it were in the past, Yuan Gate would have sent experts to this Ancient Space to encircle and suppress Sword Saint, but until now, there has been no movement from Yuan Gate."
The Wu Dao Old Man explained with a calm expression. Although some of it was deliberately shown to Lin Dong, the shock was not feigned.
"Something is wrong, there must be a demon. I'm afraid that the three great Sect Leaders of Yuan Gate plan to directly invite Sword Saint to join Yuan Gate at the end. If they send people to encircle and suppress him now, it will completely sour the relationship between the two sides."
"Martial Uncle Wu Dao, to be honest, disciple Lin Dong is from the Lin Clan. Sword Saint is the Young Clan Leader of Lin Dong. Although the Young Clan Leader has a cold personality, he is by no means someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Disciple can guarantee it."
After hearing the Wu Dao Old Man's narration, Lin Dong's expression couldn't help but change. He was afraid that the Young Clan Leader had sensed something, so he directly killed the Yuan Gate Attendant. He quickly spoke out.
"Martial Uncle Wu Dao, I wonder if it is possible to report to the Sect Leader, disciple can go and persuade him to let the Young Clan Leader join the Dao Sect!"
Little Marten, who had come back to his senses at this time, looked at Lin Dong, who was being deceived, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sighed softly.
"Okay, old man, tell the truth. Marten Lord doesn't believe that Yuan Gate wants to snatch that monster, and your Dao Sect can be indifferent."
"Hehe, that's true. The Sect Leader will also come in person at that time. However, you still need to pay attention to your identity. After all, you are a member of the demon beast clan. If Yuan Gate uses this to make a fuss, even if the Sect Leader wants to protect you, the other super sects..."
The Wu Dao Old Man smiled, he naturally received Ying Xuanzi's message, and Taiqing Palace will also help at that time, and the seven super sects have already reached an agreement in private, so there is no need to worry too much about Yuan Gate, but at the end, his expression became serious.
However, Little Marten's identity is a bit sensitive. After all, Little Marten is ultimately a member of the demon beast clan. On this point, the other super sects are unlikely to help the Dao Sect.
Little Marten's expression also turned slightly solemn upon hearing this, and Lin Dong also felt a great deal of pressure. Yuan Gate, that was the leader of the Eight Super Sects!
"However, you don't need to worry too much. When the time comes, I'm afraid Yuan Gate's attention will be focused on Sword Saint."
Seeing this, Wu Dao Old Man couldn't help but comfort them, causing Lin Dong and Little Marten's expressions to ease slightly.
"Alright, this old man still has matters to attend to. Moreover, you brothers can be considered to have just met, so I won't disturb you any longer!"
As he spoke, Wu Dao Old Man smiled, and with a shift of his figure, his form gradually became illusory. Soon, he completely disappeared from this inheritance space.
Seeing Wu Dao Old Man's aura disappear, Little Marten glared at Lin Dong with an expression of exasperation.
"Lin Dong, is your brain full of bubbles? If you were going to agree, you didn't have to be so hasty! Compared to Sword Saint, although your talent is mediocre, it's more than enough to enter his Dao Sect. Are you afraid that his Dao Sect wouldn't accept you?"
"Uh, well, Yan told me to agree."
After being scolded by Little Marten, Lin Dong couldn't help but scratch his head in response, causing Yan, who floated out of Lin Dong's body, to twitch his lips.
"I told you to agree to him, not to rush to agree to him. Why are you so stupid? Can't you negotiate terms?"
"Um, Master Uncle Wu Dao shouldn't be trying to trick me, right?"
Lin Dong seemed to realize at this moment that he had been a bit impulsive, and his expression couldn't help but become a little awkward. Fortunately, Yan came to his rescue at this time.
"Forget it, those are all minor details, no need to pay attention to them. It's enough as long as there's hope of getting in touch with the Great Desolate Tablet."
"Great Desolate Tablet?"
Lin Dong and Little Marten were stunned for a moment, and their eyes revealed expressions of confusion. Wasn't Wu Dao Old Man talking about the Great Desolate Scripture just now?
Yan also knew that Lin Dong and Little Marten definitely didn't understand these things, so he patiently explained to them.
"That's right, the Great Desolate Scripture is actually the signature skill of that old thing, the Great Desolate Tablet. Among the nine of us, I am the strongest in terms of balance and purification power, but when it comes to suppressing demons, it has to be that guy, the Great Desolate Tablet. However, his condition shouldn't be too good either. After all, after that guy's state was greatly damaged back then, he forcibly suppressed an Otherworldly Demon King comparable to the Second Reincarnation Tribulation."
"Hiss!"
Lin Dong and Little Marten couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. An Otherworldly Demon King comparable to the Second Reincarnation Tribulation, could they really deal with such a peerless ferocious demon?
"What are you thinking? If I let you go, you probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a wisp of Otherworldly Demon Qi. That's why I told you to pull that guy in. He's the main force!"
Looking at Lin Dong and Little Marten's expressions, Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said without any mercy, which made Little Marten and Lin Dong breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's go. Your strength has improved quite well recently, but it's not enough. After you go out, continue to work hard on your cultivation!"
As Yan spoke, he directly drilled into Lin Dong's body. Seeing this, Lin Dong and Little Marten breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Dong turned his head to look at Little Marten and said softly.
"Now that you've recovered your physical body, what are your plans next?"
"What plans can I have? You're just a walking treasure now. I reckon Marten Lord will have to come back to collect your corpse as soon as I leave."
Little Marten rolled his eyes, seemingly disgusted, causing Lin Dong to be moved and reach out to pat Little Marten's shoulder.
"Brother!"
"Get lost, Marten Lord! You're disgusting!"
However, as soon as he reached out, he was disgustedly slapped away by Little Marten, who also cursed.
