Chapter 893: Oh No! A Treacherous Subject Wants to Harm Me!

Just as Duanmu Xi was in a daze, a kind and amiable voice reached his ears:

“Little Brother Duanmu, what are your plans now?”

“This…”

Hearing this question, Duanmu Xi was first stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he answered with a serious expression:

“I originally intended to go to the Feiyu Sect in the West Barren to seek the Dao. I didn't expect to encounter a demon attack halfway. Now that I am out of danger, I plan to continue to the Feiyu Sect and complete my previous plan.”

Although the successive dangers made him miss the stable days of being a servant in the City Lord's Mansion, since he had decided to make a name for himself outside, there was no reason to give up halfway…

“Amitabha.”

On the other side, before Qi Yuan could speak, Kong Ding, who was standing nearby, put his hands together, sighed a Buddhist name, and said with a heavy expression:

“Little Friend Duanmu may not yet know, but the entire Feiyu Sect has been slaughtered by the demon that possessed you. It has become a dead land. It is no longer possible to join their sect. It would be better for you to make other plans.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing this earth-shattering news, Duanmu Xi's face changed drastically, his expression filled with disbelief.

A perfectly fine Feiyu Sect had actually been wiped out so easily, and the one who did it was the very Devil Head who had possessed him. This Cultivation World was simply too terrifying, wasn't it?

At this moment, he finally understood how lucky he was to have survived, and his gratitude toward the two men before him quickly reached its peak.

If he hadn't met these two saviors, he feared he would not have escaped this calamity and might not even have had the chance for Reincarnation…

Just as Duanmu Xi's eyes reddened and he was about to express his thanks again, he saw Qi Yuan smiling as he patted his shoulder and said enthusiastically:

“Brother Duanmu, although we met by chance, we have met again through a strange twist of fate, which shows our connection is not shallow.”

“It so happens that Chen has established a power called the Heaven and Earth Society, with the goal of guarding heaven and earth and benefiting all living beings. Now Great Master Kong Ding is also a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. I wonder if Brother Duanmu is interested in joining?”

As he spoke, he skillfully pulled a fresh Membership Application Form from his robe and handed it to Duanmu Xi:

“After joining the Heaven and Earth Society, we'll be on the same side. I believe that with Brother Duanmu's talent, you will surely achieve great things under the Heaven and Earth Society!”

“If you agree, just sign your name on this…”

Now that Qi Yuan had decided to make the Heaven and Earth Society big and strong in the Primordial Era, he naturally couldn't miss out on this Immortal Emperors Clone who was destined for a limitless future.

In any case, since he had even taken in a Chaos Heavenly Demon, one more Duanmu Xi with an even greater background wouldn't hurt.

If he could recruit the other party as a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, it would be a huge gain no matter how one looked at it.

Of course, the Membership Application Form Qi Yuan took out was just an ordinary version without any special attributes.

Although the 50 loyalty points provided by the membership oath were exceptionally effective, it also depended on who the target was!

The reason he dared to subdue the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus was that, besides being forced by the situation, more importantly, it was still a long time before the Great Desolation Tribulation, and most Chaos Heavenly Demons were still in a state of slumber.

Even the first batch of World-Extinguishing Black Lotuses to appear had nowhere near reached their peak strength; they just possessed a bit more of an undying and indestructible attribute than ordinary demons.

But the current Immortal Emperor was an Immortal Emperor at his peak strength; the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

If he offended the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus, Qi Yuan could still try to save the situation with the Forgiveness Great Law, but if he offended the Immortal Emperor… he could basically announce he was giving up on treatment.

Not to mention whether the Forgiveness Great Law would even work on that Supreme of the Immortal Realm; even if it did, the counterattack points required would definitely be an astronomical figure. This person Qi couldn't afford it even if he were sold as a package deal!

Although an Immortal Emperors Clone was not the same as the Immortal Emperor himself, and was at most a pawn used to face the tribulation, even a pawn was an Immortal Emperor's pawn, and his status was of no small importance.

If he rashly used the membership oath on the Immortal Emperors Clone, heaven knows if it would alert the Immortal Emperor himself. If it caused that great figure to feel resentment, This person Qi would likely be in for a world of hurt.

Therefore, to be cautious, Qi Yuan very rationally refrained from any fancy tricks and instead sincerely invited Duanmu Xi to join…

Looking at the Membership Application Form in his hand, Duanmu Xi only hesitated for a moment before immediately nodding and agreeing straightforwardly:

“Since Senior Chen does not look down on me, I am willing to join the Heaven and Earth Society and swear to follow you two to the death, through fire and water, without hesitation!”

Saying this, he solemnly signed his name on the Membership Application Form.

At the same time, Duanmu Xi's name appeared in the System's member list. Upon clicking it, only his current basic situation appeared; hidden information like the myriad manifestations exquisite pagoda or Immortal Emperors Clone did not show up.

However, this was also within Qi Yuan's expectations. If even such top-secret information could be displayed, wouldn't the Imperial Dynasty Hegemony mode be invincible?

The only thing that surprised him slightly was that this kid Duanmu Xi was probably sincerely wanting to join the Heaven and Earth Society. As soon as he joined, his loyalty value soared to 70, and his sense of belonging was stronger than that of core members who had used the membership oath.

Of course, the most important function of the membership oath was to lock the betrayal baseline at 50 loyalty points.

For Heaven and Earth Society members whose loyalty was not locked, once they became dissatisfied with the organization, the drop in loyalty would be completely unhindered. Once it dropped to 0, rebellion would follow as a matter of course.

After putting away Duanmu Xi's Membership Application Form, Qi Yuan smiled slightly. He was in no hurry to go to the Great Brahma Heavenly Temple to find Xuanyuan Hao, but instead intended to first lure out the big fish hiding in the shadows…

On the other side.

Seeing the Heaven and Earth Society develop another new member, Xia Hanjun, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but frown slightly, a feeling of unease in her heart.

Although this man was only quietly developing his power and had shown no intention of targeting the Great Qian Imperial Court from beginning to end, thinking of his identity still instinctively made her feel a bit nervous.

For the dignified Great Qian Founding Emperor to actually bypass the Imperial Court and build his own new power after Reincarnation was a thought that became more frightening the more one considered it.

What made Xia Hanjun even more confused was that if the Heaven and Earth Society ever openly opposed the Great Qian Imperial Court, would the actions of this Great Qian Founding Emperor count as rebellion?

If it did, His Majesty the Human Emperor was originally a descendant of the Founding Emperor, and it was perfectly natural for an ancestor to discipline unfilial descendants.

But if it didn't, wouldn't the Imperial Court side become the rebellious subjects themselves?

Just as Xia Hanjun was lost in thought, she saw the man who was perfectly fine a moment ago suddenly turn dark in the face. His body began to sway, and he clutched his chest, shouting:

“Oh no! A treacherous subject wants to harm me!”

With that, the man's body went limp, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown.

Seeing this scene, not only were Kong Ding and Duanmu Xi stunned and at a loss, but Xia Hanjun, who was responsible for ensuring the Founding Emperor's safety, was even more terrified.

Oh no!

An assassin!

Realizing this, Xia Hanjun could no longer care about staying hidden. With a flash of her graceful figure, she arrived at the scene, preparing to check the man's condition…
