Chapter 245 Xu Ning’s Disciple

“Greetings, Clan Elder!” After Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao walked in, the ten young men and women greeted them at the same time.

They all looked at Cheng Zengtao with respect.

These ten young men and women did not have a high status in the Cheng family. In their eyes, Cheng Zengtao, a clan elder, was a high and mighty existence.

Cheng Zengtao’s face turned cold when he heard their words.

“I have told you before that after entering the Swallow Heron Sect, there are no clan elders, so you all should call me Martial Uncle!”

Cheng Zengtao’s tone was stern. Hearing the reminder, the young men and women were a little afraid.

“If you say that again, there will be punishment according to the sect rules!”

Cheng Zengtao then introduced Xu Ning. “This is the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect. From today onwards, you must obey the Sect Master’s orders. If you violate his orders, I will not let you off easily.”

“Greetings, Sect Master!” The ten young men and women quickly saluted. These young men and women looked at Xu Ning with both curiosity and fear. They all knew very well that ever since they were selected by the family, their future fate would be tied to the Swallow Heron Sect.

 

 

Xu Ning nodded in response to these disciples’ gazes. He paced back and forth in front of the ten people and examined them.

Xu Ning suddenly stopped in front of the disciple in the corner and took one more look at him.

It was a dark-skinned young man, tall and skinny, with bright eyes.

Xu Ning looked at him and subconsciously thought of Guo Ye who was far away in the Abyss North.

Afterwards, Xu Ning stood still and walked in front of the crowd.

“They are all under sixteen years old, and the weakest amongst them is in the mortal realm seventh stage…”

Xu Ning could feel the vitality of these young people. ‘All ten high level mortal realm disciples are below sixteen years old. In State Wansheng, this is considered passable…’

Xu Ning didn’t have high expectations for these disciples.

After all, it was difficult for the Swallow Heron Sect to attract talented disciples.

“Everyone, I am Xu Ning, the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect.”

Xu Ning also introduced, “In the days to come, I will build the Swallow Heron Sect with you. I hope that one day, the name of the Swallow Heron Sect will resound throughout State Wansheng.”

The ten people’s eyes lit up upon hearing Xu Ning’s words.

They all knew that they were the first generation disciples of the newly rebuilt Swallow Heron Sect. If the Swallow Heron Sect became stronger in the future, their status would also rise.

For these bastard children of the Cheng family, the promotion of their status was something they yearned for.

Cheng Zengtao’s heart trembled when he heard Xu Ning’s words.

‘Let the reputation of the Swallow Heron Sect spread throughout State Wansheng…’

Cheng Zengtao thought of his master, Li Shengmao, the previous sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect. He had said something similar at that time, but in the end, he failed.

He looked at Xu Ning and thought to himself. “Maybe the current sect master can do it…’

“In a while, the sect will distribute what you need for your martial arts cultivation. In the Swallow Heron Sect, you will not lack resources. The resource allocation criteria of the ten of you are equivalent to the treatment of the core members of the Cheng family.”

Xu Ning said, “As a martial arts sect, people are the foundation, and strength is the foundation. In the Swallow Heron Sect, anyone who makes a realm breakthrough will be rewarded. I hope everyone can do your best.”

After hearing Xu Ning’s words, the young men and women were excited.

When they were in the Cheng family, compared to the core members of the family, they had pitifully few resources, but now, their resources had increased greatly. “In addition to allocating resources, we will personally guide your cultivation.” Xu Ning said, “The ten of you will all be core disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect.”

These were all what Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao had discussed.

“Today, I will also choose a disciple and take him in as my disciple, I will be responsible for their future martial arts cultivation.”

The ten disciples held their breaths the moment Xu Ning said this.

Obviously, even if they were a core disciple, being the disciple of the Sect Master would be more convenient in the future. Moreover, their status would also be higher.

“What’s your name?”

Xu Ning didn’t delay anymore and just pointed straight at the young man who looked like Guo Ye.

The young man obviously didn’t expect Xu Ning to choose him.

“Sect Master, my name is Cheng Xiu.”

The young man responded respectfully. “From now on, you are the core disciple under me.”

Xu Ning said.

Cheng Xiu was overjoyed. “Yes!”

After seeing Xu Ning make a decision so quickly, the other disciples looked envious.

“Senior Brother Cheng, choose two people to be your core disciples as well.”

Xu Ning looked at Cheng Zengtao.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Cheng Zengtao accepted the order and chose a man and a woman, two disciples.

“Okay, you are all dismissed. Cheng Xiu, go to the backyard of the villa in the afternoon and come find me then.”

Xu Ning waved his hand.

Afterwards, he left the courtyard with Cheng Zengtao.

“Senior Brother Cheng.”

Afterwards, the two wandered around the villa.

“Sect Master.”

Cheng Zengtao was half a step behind.

“Now that the core disciples are confirmed, the position of elders cannot be vacant.”

Xu Ning took the initiative to say, “When the other three senior brothers and sisters come, let them be elders of the sect.”

“Okay.”

Cheng Zengtao nodded, then asked, “What about me?”

“Senior Brother Cheng will temporarily be the Deputy Sect Master.”

Xu Ning had already thought about this.

As the work-flinging boss, he naturally had to give Cheng Zengtao more power and resources.

“Deputy Sect Master?”

Cheng Zengtao was taken aback. He then quickly declined. “Absolutely not.”

“Sect Master, it is enough for me to be an elder.”

Cheng Zengtao expressed his stance. Xu Ning waved his hand. “No need to discuss, this matter is settled.” “By the way, do you know that Cheng Xiu?” Xu Ning changed the topic. Cheng Zengtao was a little helpless, but he knew that he couldn’t persuade Xu Ning, so he agreed to Xu Ning’s appointment.

“Cheng Xiu is a descendant of a branch family. He has always lived in other counties. This kid has a tenacious personality and is reliable in his work. His martial arts talent is relatively low among the ten, but his realm is in the mortal realm ninth stage. His passion and tenacity in martial arts are rare among his peers.”

Cheng Zengtao had no impression of Cheng Xiu at all, but before recruiting the disciples, he read Cheng Xiu’s details and learned about this.

“I see…”

Xu Ning admired Cheng Xiu’s character.

“Sect Master, these ten disciples have been investigated before. Their information is in your study.”

Cheng Zengtao reminded.

“Okay.” Afterwards, Xu Ning handed a storage ring to Cheng Zengtao.

“Senior Leng Ran has already given me all the resources left behind by the sect. This storage ring contains part of the sect’s resources.”

Xu Ning said, “You can spend what the sect needs in the future from here. If you don’t have enough resources, you can find me at any time.”

Xu Ning gave 30% of the Hidden Moon Bead’s resources to Cheng Zengtao.

“Understood.”

Cheng Zengtao took it because he felt Xu Ning’s trust in him.

“Now that the sect is in its infancy stage, it doesn’t consume a lot of resources, so there is no need to rush to open up sources.”

Xu Ning said again.

In State Wansheng, only official sects and special families were allowed to trade martial arts resources.

This was one of the reasons why a sect token was so precious.

Cheng Zengtao nodded. “Understood, Sect Master.”

Cheng Zengtao had planned to use the Cheng family’s channels to open up the sect, but since Xu Ning said so, he could only put this matter aside for the time being.

“Okay, now that we have just moved here, you must have a lot to deal with, so I won’t say much.”

After giving some instructions, Xu Ning didn’t plan to continue talking.

“Then Sect Master, I will go and do my work.”

Cheng Zengtao held the storage ring that stored the sect’s resources in his hand. Coupled with the fact that he had just been appointed as the Deputy Sect Master, he suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. After separating from Cheng Zengtao, Xu Ning went to the backyard of the villa.

Even though it was described as a backyard, the area was larger than Xu Ning’s Tao Village.

Xu Ning took out the Demon Beast Scroll and communicated with Gray through his mind.

Whoosh!

Gray, Xu Hujun, and Cyan suddenly appeared from the Demon Beast Scroll’s bead.

Gray and Cyan were fine, but once Xu Hujun came out, he was nearly twenty meters tall, which instantly cast a shadow in front of Xu Ning.

“Finally out!”

Cyan shook its tail in happiness and circled around Xu Ning.

It had been yearning for the outside world for a long time. “This will be the temporary residence of the Swallow Heron Sect. After this, you can rest in this backyard. You can also go out at will in the nearby areas.”

Xu Ning said to the three.

“The Swallow Heron Sect has just been established, so we are considered the sect’s guardian demon beasts!”

Cyan was very excited.

“If you want to be a guardian demon beast, being in the void realm is not enough.” Xu Ning said, “Now you are in the outside world, you and Xu Hujun should quickly advance into the dao realm.”

“I know, I know.”

Cyan responded.

It was very confident in its bloodline aptitude.

As a blood cyan wolf of the cyan wolf branch, even if it grew naturally, it could easily break through to the dao realm.

Because they had been stuck in the Demon Beast Scroll for too long, Gray, Cyan, and Xu Hujun all left the villa and wandered around.

The sudden appearance of these three beasts in the courtyard caused Cheng Zengtao to sense their aura.

He came looking for Xu Ning again after seperating not long ago.

Xu Ning then explained to him that they were his demon beast companions, which made Cheng Zengtao feel relieved.

 

 

At the same time, Cheng Zengtao felt that Xu Ning had become more mysterious.

The aura of one of those demon beasts just now was in the elementary-level of the dao realm, while the other two were close to the dao realm.

Even the Cheng family had only subdued two elementary-level dao realm demon beasts.

Soon, it was noon.

According to Xu Ning’s orders, Cheng Xiu came to find Xu Ning.

 

When he arrived at the backyard, Cheng Xiu saw Xu Ning “Greetings, Sect Master!” Cheng Xiu quickly saluted, but after speaking, he felt that something was wrong and said, “Greetings, Master!” “You’re here…”

Xu Ning nodded slightly. Choosing Cheng Xiu among the ten disciples was also a kind of fate.

Xu Ning was about to speak to Cheng Xiu when a shadow suddenly covered the backyard.

Xu Hujun, Gray, and Cyan landed at the same time.

Cheng Xiu’s legs immediately went weak when he felt the terrifying auras.
