Chapter 79: The Passerby’s Journey of Recruiting Disciples

Jiang Cheng watched as the Grand Array finally connected with the Demon Clan member in other regions, looking at the person on the other side of the Grand Array.

"Why, you old thing, are you so eager for me to die? It won't be that easy to make me, the Wind Spirit Demon Venerable, die."

"I didn't expect you to survive the War between Immortals and Demons. After all, you were renowned back then, and the Human Race hated you to the bone."

"After that War between Immortals and Demons, you never appeared, so we thought you had died in the Southern Territory."

"I used some methods to escape the disaster." As for the matter of obtaining the Yin Yang Demon Pearl, he wouldn't say it out loud.

"You have also seen the price I paid for this."

"Indeed, your cultivation is gone, and your original body is gone too. Now, looking at your appearance, you should still be in the Southern Territory, right?"

"That's right, I am in the Southern Territory now. I have established a force here and have been secretly gathering intelligence on the major Sects; I have collected quite a bit by now."

"Don't you want to fight back? Are you willing to hide in other regions and let others laugh at you?"

"Now, as long as we join forces, I will slowly infiltrate the interior of the Southern Territory, and then you can attack."

"The Southern Territory is currently too comfortable because there are no Demon Race members there, and many people have already forgotten about us Demon Clan members."

"This makes it easier for us to act, making it not very difficult for me to infiltrate the Southern Territory; they have no guard against us now."

Before, they said they were always on guard, but it's different now; they have become a bit lax. As long as I am careful, it will be fine.

The Demon Clan member on the other end heard this and pondered for a moment.

"Are those old fellows still in the Southern Territory? Is there any news about them?"

"Rest assured, no powerful figures have appeared in the Southern Territory recently. I have already inquired about those old fellows; they haven't shown themselves since shortly after the War between Immortals and Demons."

"They are likely severely injured in their Origin Qi, or they have left the Southern Territory for the Spirit Territory, or they are probably in closed-door cultivation within their Sects."

"The strongest existence in the Southern Territory right now is at the Peak Transformation Stage."

"So this is a good opportunity for us, and I am confident that I can contend with them when the time comes."

"Good. Ever since we left the Southern Territory, we have been mocked by other Demon Race, but now we have more or less established a significant force in other regions."

"Since that's the case, I will contact other Demon Race members. Once you have everything ready on your end, we can attack and take it back."

"Good. I am still short of manpower; send a few Golden Core Stage members to help me. This Grand Array should be able to withstand the teleportation of Golden Core Stage members."

"Those with too high a cultivation might alert the enemy."

"Very well, I will wait for your good news."

As the Demon Clan member on the other end disappeared, flashes of light appeared in the Grand Array, and then several figures appeared within it.

Jiang Cheng looked at the four Golden Core Stage members who had arrived and was very satisfied. With these four, his next step could be carried out even better.

Back at the Sect, Su Yu whistled as he prepared to head to the Utility Disciple quarters to give a lecture; it seemed this was the last lecture for this batch of Disciples.

The three-year period was almost up, but that had nothing to do with him. He just needed to play his role well; he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Su Yu arrived at the lecture hall. There seemed to be an unusually large number of people today. It appeared that the final lecture had some kind of buff attached to it. When the crowd saw Su Yu arrive…

"Elder Su is here. This is the last time we will hear Elder Su preach; it's truly hard to part with him."

Most of the people here had not achieved a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 3, and the vast majority had no hope of entering the Outer Sect.

After listening to Su Yu's lecture this time, most of them would be assigned by the Sect to do labor. There was no lack of those who could achieve a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 3 at the last minute, but these were only a small minority.

Their eyes were filled with confusion about the future. Su Yu had seen this kind of look many times over the years.

He wouldn't go and feed these Disciples toxic chicken soup. The Cultivation World was just like this; it wasn't his first time encountering such a situation, and he could be considered an old hand.

During this lecture, the people below were basically listening to his explanation with full concentration. When Su Yu finished his last sentence, accompanied by his departing figure, their time was essentially over.

After Su Yu left, many people burst into tears, but there was no other way; reality was just like this.

Su Yu left the place without any hesitation. Just as Su Yu was about to return, someone stopped him.

"Elder Su, you weren't around when I looked for you some time ago. Fortunately, I finally found you now."

Indeed, he was still outside preparing for Undergoing Tribulation at that time.

"Elder Zhang, is there something urgent you are looking for me for?"

"Elder Su, I have come to ask for your help. Recently, many Elders have been in closed-door cultivation. You see, isn't it time for the Sect to recruit Disciples again?"

"Many Elders are unable to spare any time, so I am asking for your help to take two Disciples to recruit new ones near the Sect."

"Rest assured, you don't need to go to places far from the Sect. We will arrange a few places closer to the Sect for you, which are easier tasks, after all, you are not the Elder specifically in charge of this area."

Su Yu agreed, as such things were very common; it was frequent for other Elders to temporarily stand in to recruit Disciples for the Sect.

A Passerby generally wouldn't refuse such things; after all, if the Disciples brought back had good Aptitude, there would be rewards for the Elder who brought them back.

It was just going near the Sect to recruit some Disciples; it didn't require going to remote areas to recruit, and there was no danger, so this could be considered a cushy job.

Unless there was something important, most people wouldn't refuse.

Anyway, Su Yu had nothing to do. He was just a Passerby, so helping out occasionally didn't matter.

"Very well, I will take the place of the other Elders to recruit Disciples for the Sect."

"Then many thanks, Elder Su. I will notify you when the time comes and arrange for two Disciples to go over and help you."

"Good, then I will be leaving first."

That day, Su Yu, who was fishing in the courtyard, received a message from Elder Zhang asking him to go to the Utility Disciple quarters to pick up some things, as he would be setting off tomorrow to recruit Disciples for the Sect.

Su Yu then disappeared from the courtyard.

"Elder Su, you have arrived. These crystal balls can test the Spiritual Root Aptitude of others, and these two Disciples are the two who will be helping you, Elder Su, this time."

For Su Yu, whether he had these crystal balls or not made no difference. With his current strength, a casual scan was enough to know whether they had a Spiritual Root.

However, he still wanted to experience the process of a Passerby recruiting Disciples for the Sect.

"Greetings, Elder Su."

"Mm, greetings to you both."

Su Yu took a look; there was one male and one female, the same pairing he had seen when the Profound Heaven Sect recruited Disciples back then. Should he also grow a goatee? That would look more imposing.

After explaining where Su Yu needed to go, Su Yu left the Utility Disciple quarters.

Early the next morning, Su Yu arrived at the Utility Disciple quarters, where many Elders had already gathered.

The two Disciples who were accompanying Su Yu this time were also waiting for him early at the Utility Disciple quarters.

Su Yu watched as various Elders brought out their own flying Spiritual Artifacts, all sorts of strange and varied shapes. Watching some Elders already take their Disciples onto their flying Spiritual Artifacts and fly away…

Su Yu also prepared to bring out his flying Spiritual Artifact, ready to set off.
