Chapter 289: Move Out!
Albert and Gin were standing next to each other, looking at the grand declaration that the Mountain Master was going to make.
The Mountain Master, accompanied by all elders, had gathered all disciples in the sect.
"What’s this?"
"Did something big happen?"
"He must be planning to declare the champion of the last expedition."
"But there shouldn’t be any need to bring all disciples here to announce it."
The disciples were confused, not knowing anything about the real reason for this declaration.
The Mountain Master looked upon the disciples and raised his hand, stating, "I, Yin Changkong, declare that I’ve taken a disciple. He has obtained the inheritance of the tomb, who is supposed to be known as Xi Sheng, the founder of the Joyful Union Sect.
"Not only has he done a great deed by eliminating the potential trouble from our greatest enemy, the Joyful Union Sect, but he also has eliminated all disciples from the Joyful Union Sect inside the tomb.
"He also has gotten the Yin Yang Bell, the Joyful Union Sect’s treasure from them, weakening the sect even further. At the same time, he has received the blessing of the founder of the Joyful Union Sect.
"I’m sure that the rumor has been going around, so I’m going to tell you the real truth to give you the same truth. The Joyful Union Sect’s founder was disappointed with the current Joyful Union Sect. Hence, we shall clean up the Joyful Union Sect.
"Henceforth, I declare that Albert has become my disciple. You may not know about his talent, but I can say one thing. The phenomenon he created during his test is real, and there was only one person in history that created such a phenomenon. He was none other than our ancestor, the Great Sage.
"I shall train Albert wholeheartedly so that the Five Elements Mountain will be renowned again by the world.
"Albert, come forward!"
Everyone looked around to see Albert before finding a Demon Dog leaping into the stage while clasping his hands.
"So, that’s Albert."
"The ancestor could wield all elements. Does that mean he can too?"
"But he just entered the sect not long ago, right? Is this alright?"
"Still, his talent suits the sect the most."
The people were discussing all kinds of doubts. However, the Mountain Master simply asked, "Are you willing to fight for the Five Elements Mountain?"
"Disciple is willing." Albert bowed his head.
The cheers erupted, but they forgot about one thing. The Mountain Master didn’t ask Albert to be his disciple in front of everyone. People thought it would be because he had done it privately, so there was no need to repeat it.
But the Mountain Master and the elders had witnessed the abrupt rejection last night.
When the Mountain Master asked him to be his disciple, Albert answered, "I’m sorry, Mountain Master. This disciple doesn’t have such a big ambition. This disciple just wants to explore the world and enjoy the new things he finds in his life."
It shocked everyone because he was the first person to reject the Mountain Master. Normally, the Mountain Master was the one refusing to take in a disciple.
It caused a huge debate last night, but the Mountain Master let it go and decided to create a ceremony like this just for the people to see. Albert could simply become an elder in the sect who had no real responsibility other than fighting for the sect when needed.
With this, they could bind Albert a bit.
Although he was reminded of the previous rejection, the Mountain Master continued with his declaration.
"The second thing I want to tell everyone here is that we have finally found an effective weapon against the Joyful Union Sect. These arrays can be used to destroy them, and I believe many Core Disciples have seen it personally. Even the First Elder has confirmed that a King Grade Array is still effective against someone like me.
"That’s why we have prepared everything to solve the grievance that has been piling up for the last two hundred years.
"I am asking as the Mountain Master of the Five Elements Mountain. All disciples, will you fight for the Five Elements Mountain to eliminate the Joyful Union Sect? I won’t stop anyone who doesn’t want to participate, but I’ll surely reward anyone who has participated."
This question startled everyone because they never expected that the Mountain Master was asking them to join the war between the two sects. It was true that the Joyful Union Sect had lost so many Core Disciples, but they were still a strong sect nonetheless.
As the Mountain Master, he knew how to inspire people. He added, "I’m sure you already know about our relationship with the Joyful Union Sect. Just imagine... What if the people beside you are captured by the Joyful Union Sect? Will you be able to recognize them anymore? No, they’re going to be crazy because of those bastards.
"Imagine the people beside you die brutally because they’re captured. Can you accept such a fate? Meanwhile, if we manage to get rid of the Joyful Union Sect, we won’t have to fear that our people will be kidnapped anymore.
"Right now, the Joyful Union Sect is at its lowest. If we miss this chance, we won’t be able to do anything to the Joyful Union Sect anymore. That’s why I’m asking everyone here, will you fight together with me to get rid of the Joyful Union Sect?"
The people’s hearts thumped. They pictured themselves losing someone precious to them. Even if they imagined themselves to be the ones captured, they would die brutally. Even if they loved to have s*x, they knew the cruelty that would happen if they got captured.
Gin was the first one to shout, leaving all the emotions. "I’m willing! Mountain Master, Please let me follow you to eradicate the Joyful Union Sect!"
That shout shook everyone’s heart. Just like when one person clapped, the others would follow. After Gin’s declaration, more and more disciples followed.
"I’m willing."
"I’m willing!"
The shout became louder and louder as if they didn’t want their voices to die in the sea of noises. Eventually, the shout became a cheer vibrating the whole sect.
The Mountain Master smirked and raised his hand. "In that case, Five Elements Mountain, move out! We shall exterminate the Joyful Union Sect."
"Uohh!"
