Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System
Chapter 168 Cai Hong's First Mission“Someone actually broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm today,” a man with a short beard said, sitting on a mat with a profound gaze as he looked in the direction of the Third Region. “Get the Palace General here! I need to meet the Palace Lord for a meeting about this matter.”
“Quick! Tell the Holy Light Emperor! Someone broke through from the Third Region!”
“Hurry up! We need to rope this person into our side! One more Saint Emperor and it could tip the balance between the palace’s strengths!”
Everyone felt agitated and excited about the recent breakthrough of a person from the Third Region. After all, a Saint Emperor, even if he was only at an early stage, would be highly helpful to their respective palaces.
When the lightning tribulation disappeared, all the women and even Cai Hong himself were baffled. As he looked at Yang Lujia, his eyes showed a fanatical look like no other.
“Master is truly powerful. He was able to stop the lightning tribulation by himself! He even stopped it for me!” Cai Hong got the wrong idea.
When Yang Lujia heard how proud he was, he couldn’t help but smile. Although he really did not suffer this time from the lightning tribulations, Yang Lujia knew that Cai Hong must be genuinely trying to serve him.
But he truly wondered about the reason why.
“Cai Hong, you should now act more discreetly now that you’ve reached the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm,” Yang Lujia warned. “If I am correct, other people might rope you in for the contest of power. In fact, I can already feel some of them coming here to our side.”
Yang Lujia looked ahead, with the shocked faces of every woman in the sect hall, their eyes still glued to his presence. Even Lan Mingyue was no exception.
Although Cai Hong was so excited about trying to probe into his own strength, he still refrained himself, as ordered by Yang Lujia. After all, he was now his master. But he still couldn’t contain the excitement from breaking through directly to the highest realm like a piece of cake.
He had already surpassed his former master!
“Yes, master!” he enthusiastically replied, bowing his head down.
Lan Mingyue could not believe what she was seeing. When she tried to dig into Cai Hong’s cultivation level, she miserably failed and almost suffered a backlash.
“Hmm?” Cai Hong’s attention was quickly directed at her. However, he just smiled and did not say anything, like a different person than he was at that time.
He then shifted his gaze to Yang Lujia, his eyes screaming with reverence.
“Mingyue,” Yang Lujia called the woman, completely ignoring the fanatical gaze Cai Hong was giving him. “I want you to leave this place immediately. This is the place where a Saint Emperor broke through. Sooner or later, other Saint Emperors would come looking for Cai Hong. I don’t want to be implicated with this any further.”
Lan Mingyue immediately frowned. Clearly, she wasn’t satisfied with what Yang Lujia said. Then, she replied, “How about you? Where will you go after this?”
“Me? Why? Do you intend to go with me? It’s fine with me as well. I can take you under my wing. I will not restrict any of your freedom. You just only need to follow my rules which are very simple and behave the way you usually behave.”
“No problem!” Lan Mingyue shouted without a bit of hesitation in her tone.
“No problem!” Lan Mingyue shouted without a bit of hesitation in her tone.
The Deputy Sect Master revealed a jaw-dropped face, her eyes urging Lan Mingyue to withdraw her decision.
“You don’t have to worry about anything, really. You can still keep your faction or your sect, but you’re already under me. With me here, don’t worry, your protection is guaranteed.” He then looked at Cai Hong. “Cai Hong can even guard you personally. He already had the capabilities to contend against the strongest individuals in this entire realm, in this entire world. Hence, you don’t have to worry that much.
When the Deputy Sect Master heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded, and so were the sect elders. Even Lan Mingyue looked at Cai Hong incredulously. “So that was why I couldn’t see through his cultivation.”
“Of course, you can’t see through his cultivation. You’re merely a Saint King at the early stage,” Yang Lujia refuted. “Moreover…” His eyes traveled from one sect elder to another. “If you want to leave now, you may leave. I just don’t like forcing people to do something.”
“That’s good enough,” the Deputy Sect Master said as he looked at Yang Lujia with a sigh. “Besides, if you had wanted to kill us, we would’ve already been dead. I know you’re so powerful that even someone as strong as him, Senior Cai Hong, submitted and pledged his entire being to you. Look at him, it’s like he’s looking at someone like his god.”
“Alright, then I’ll keep you all under my wing,” Yang Lujia said as he nodded. Then, he turned his head to Cai Hong, who was passionately looking at him. Shaking his head, he felt helpless. Nonetheless, he still tried to say, “Cai Hong, you don’t have to be like that. You can just stand by my side and act nonchalantly.”
“Yes, master!” As though his face was some type of very flexible machine, it turned into a nonchalant one and stood beside and behind Yang Lujia—formally standing like a guard.
“Forget it,” Yang Lujia said, truly helpless with the attitude Cai Hong was showing. “Today, I have a mission for you. Make all the sects in the Third Region submit to you. And if any Saint Emperor approaches you, don’t let them speak and directly reject their offers to rope you in.” Yang Lujia then stopped talking as Cai Hong sped up and went outside the sect master’s hall without anyone noticing.
Now, that was a real Saint Emperor at his peak. His movements, apart from Yang Lujia, were very fast that they could almost not see him.
