"Yes!" Song Yan Ning nodded.
"That’s great!" Liu Yushan was so happy that he almost jumped up. Previously, when Song Yan Ning mentioned making the Mo Feng Sect a part of Sky Heart Sect, he had been concerned about the Spiritual Energy issue of Sky Heart Sect.
"However, before that, we need to set up a defensive formation first," Song Yan Ning glanced at Sky Heart Sect with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. If other sects targeted the Sky Heart Sect, it wouldn’t even have a chance to defend.
"But the sect has no materials to set up a defensive formation." Liu Yushan was somewhat embarrassed. He suddenly realized that aside from its name, the Sky Heart Sect didn’t really resemble a sect.
Song Yan Ning shook her head helplessly, "I’ll figure something out." She wasn’t sure whether choosing Sky Heart Sect as her force was right or wrong.
"Sect Master!" A young man saw Liu Yushan running over and came up quickly, his eyes flickering with surprise when he saw Song Yan Ning and her group.
"Sect Master, who are they?" the young man sized up Song Yan Ning and her group.
Liu Yushan didn’t quite know how to introduce Song Yan Ning and the others. After thinking for a moment, he said, "They are new elders I have just recruited; this is Elder Su, Elder Qin, Elder Hu, Elder Yun, and Elder Mie Yu."
"Hello, elders!" Although the youth was filled with doubts, he greeted Song Yan Ning and her group politely. He had only heard of recruiting disciples before, but it was the first time for recruiting elders. However, with only him, the Sect Master, and the Deputy Sect Master in the Sky Heart Sect, recruiting disciples and elders didn’t make much difference.
Xu Pingqi heard the commotion outside and came out just in time to hear Liu Yushan introducing Song Yan Ning’s group to the youth, "Sect Master!"
Seeing Xu Pingqi, Liu Yushan laughed, "Pingqi, you came just at the right moment. These are the new elders we’ve recruited for Sky Heart Sect, her name is Song Yan Ning, and him, Qin Yushen, Yun Mo, Hu Qi, and Mie Yu."
"Hello!" Xu Pingqi nodded to Song Yan Ning and her group.
"This time, Elder Su and the others helped our Sky Heart Sect secure the first place in the qualifying contest, and now we all can go to Devil Grassland," mentioned Liu Yushan, bursting with excitement.
Xu Pingqi nodded knowingly, a look of concern in his eyes, "Sect Master, I’m afraid our current strength isn’t enough to hold onto those spots." With Sky Heart Sect’s strength so weak, how could other sects let them be?
"Don’t worry, the strength of Elder Su and the others is powerful. The Mo Feng Sect Master Fang Yijian, as well as the Deputy Sect Master of Lingyun Divine Sect and the genius disciple Yan Binyu of Lingyun Divine Sect, all died at their hands."
"What?!" Xu Pingqi and Fang Yi couldn’t believe it, their eyes widening in shock. Not to mention the strength of Fang Yijian and Yan Binyu, the Mo Feng Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master of Lingyun Divine Sect were definitely top-level. They had all died, and all at the hands of several unknown Loose Cultivators.
"You didn’t see the contest at the time, just remembering it now still gets my blood boiling. Today, our Sky Heart Sect has truly raised its eyebrows and sighed in relief," Liu Yushan excitedly said.
Xu Pingqi snapped back to reality, shook his head with a sigh, "This is not a good thing for our Sky Heart Sect. Gaining such attention this time will make the Sky Heart Sect a target for everyone."
Liu Yushan smiled and patted Xu Pingqi’s shoulder, "Don’t worry about that, Elder Su already has a strategy."
Xu Pingqi looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise.
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, "Sect Master, please arrange a place for us to stay." She needed to set up a Mountain Protection Array, which required crafting some Array Flags first.
