Yang Fei’s impassioned voice echoed throughout the room, continuously resonating in the ears of the thirty-three experts at the peak of the Innate Late Stage, then extending into the depths of their souls.
Beside him, even Hu Lizhong felt a surge of blood and energy as if his life could start anew, and his career could reach a new pinnacle.
He decided that in the future, even if there were a few places where he might wrong Minister Qin, he must undoubtedly follow Brother Yang. The source of this content ɪs Nove1Fire.net
Cui Wanchi gave Yang Fei a deep look, suddenly declaring loudly, "I, Cui Wanchi, am willing to follow Young Master Yang, only hoping to chart a new future for the Qinghe Cui Family."
"Cui Wanmin is also willing to follow Young Master Yang!"
"Cui Wanbang as well."
"With the Qinghe Cui Family united as one, how could I, Cui Wancheng, lag behind? Count me in, Young Master Yang."
The four brothers of the Qinghe Cui Family all expressed their willingness; they were much older than Yang Fei, some even old enough to be great-grandfathers. Yet now, each of them clasped hands into fists and raised them above their heads, kneeling on one knee, signifying their willingness to follow.
As the Cui brothers knelt, others in the room followed suit, clasping their fists and half-kneeling.
"Gao Changling of the Dragon Gate Sect pledges allegiance to Young Master Yang, hoping for a new prospect."
"Zhao Feibai of Qingshan Sect sincerely surrenders!"
"Qian Yunhai of Qingshan Sect follows Young Master Yang."
"Xie Guangyuan of the Xie Family from Taiyuan."
"Xie Guangping of the Xie Family from Taiyuan."
"Shen Wannian of the Shen Family from Guyong."
In an instant, all thirty-three people were half-kneeling on the ground, proclaiming their names and origins.
Yang Fei, eyes ablaze, observed the act of allegiance from the thirty-three and laughed heartily: "Please rise, seniors. I, Yang Fei, am not one for formalities. Let’s skip such trivial rituals."
Yet everyone maintained a serious demeanor, saying in unison, "This is a rite of allegiance and cannot be omitted!"
"Having pledged allegiance, we harbor no second thoughts."
"Here we swear, from this moment, to follow Young Master Yang forevermore, never to betray; otherwise, we face a thousand cuts and a doomed lineage!"
Hearing those words, Yang Fei’s expression sharpened, not expecting such determined attitudes from them.
The mere fact that these individuals were here already assured Yang Fei that they sought collaboration.
As for their loyalty, Yang Fei was confident in securing it. He believed that binding people together forever was simply about sincerity and benefits.
Sincerity, he undoubtedly possessed.
Benefits, he could provide them with.
Since these individuals were opting to pledge allegiance during their toughest times, his sincerity and benefits could indeed sway them.
Even before delivering benefits, most already demonstrated a certain degree of loyalty, which moved Yang Fei, evidencing a spirit of contract.
Indeed, these people from the Hidden Sect World, in some respects, still held reverence for righteousness and valued integrity and loyalty.
Concurrently, Yang Fei was secretly delighted.
All thirty-three were genuine masters, with many casting meaningful glances at him earlier, revealing they were on the cusp of entering the Divine Travel Realm. He needed only to impart the Taoist meditation and refining god technique, allowing them to quickly cultivate Divine Sense and step into the Divine Travel Realm.
Indeed, selecting and cultivating experts from the Divine Continent was too slow; only by sifting through the warriors of the Hidden Sect could his forces bolster more swiftly.
Subsequently, Yang Fei crossed the room, helping everyone up, one by one.
Initially, when he helped the first person up, others tried to rise, but Yang Fei went over, engaging in dialogue, memorizing their names and backgrounds.
Hu Lizhong followed closely beside Yang Fei, secretly breaking into a cold sweat for him.
All these individuals were strong Hidden Sect warriors; what if someone suddenly attacked? Yang Fei, with his Physical Body Realm depleted, would be in grave danger, would he not?
But in the end, all was well; none of the thirty-three made any sudden moves.
Hu Lizhong quietly admired, Brother Yang truly was daring.
Unbeknownst to him, Yang Fei had mustered the courage to make a round, ever vigilant and prepared to unleash Divine Thought instantaneously, sufficient to obliterate any opponent trying to attack.
Nevertheless, despite this, these warriors’ rapid striking was still a substantial risk given his current Physical Body response speed.
But to win hearts, one must show a gesture of sincerity.
Leaving the crowd, Yang Fei addressed them, "Seniors, beside me is Hu Lizhong. From now on, we’re all one. Should you wish, you may write a letter to your families or sect members and invite them to settle in Jiangbei County. My wife will liaise with the Five Great Forces to relocate your families and sect members here."
Upon hearing this, everyone displayed expressions of joy and gratitude.
"Young Master Yang’s magnanimity!"
"Thank you, Young Master Yang."
"For such immense kindness, only unwavering loyalty can repay!"
After all, as powerful warriors, they had been reduced to prisoners; one could easily imagine the plight of their families and sects.
Some families had faced retaliatory attacks, nearing extinction due to their incarceration.
Others, though not experiencing complete annihilation, had been oppressed and bullied recently. Now, with Yang Fei willing to support their families and sects, how could they not be moved?
Yang Fei said, "Once you’ve written the letters, hand them to Old Hu, and he will arrange everything."
Amidst their gratitude, they all clasped their fists and greeted Hu Lizhong, forging connections.
Hu Lizhong’s heart surged with emotion.
Indeed, following Brother Yang was the right choice.
Although these Hidden Sect experts were slightly more skilled than him, they now treated him with deference. Being positioned close to the water, fostering relationships with them was an invaluable resource and asset for the future.
Damn, the people Hu Lizhong befriended were all formidable figures.
My, how exciting to just think about it.
But I must strive hard, for only with formidable strength can I secure a future. Otherwise, despite their courtesy, they might look down upon me in private.
After all, I am a trusted close follower of Brother Yang; I mustn’t tarnish Brother Yang’s reputation.
Subsequently, Yang Fei looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, cultivation actually consists of two parts: Body Refinement and Divine Cultivation. However, whether in the secular Martial Arts world or the Hidden Sect World, everyone essentially only cultivates one—Body Refinement."
On hearing this subject, everyone grew excited.
Was he this generous?
Having just met, not only did he show sufficient sincerity and respect, and offered to support their families and sects, but now he was about to teach them the method of cultivating Divine Sense too?
Indeed, their decisive choice to come and pledge allegiance was not only due to previous reasons but mainly because Yang Fei promised to teach them the method of cultivating Divine Sense, aiding their entrance into the Divine Travel Realm.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Yang Fei continued, "Indeed, cultivation requires more than just Body Refinement; it also necessitates Divine Cultivation. Only by strengthening the Divine Soul Consciousness can we ascend to superior cultivation realms. Furthermore, even our prior Body Refinement was misguided. True Body Refinement can temper the Physical Body Realm into copper skin and iron bones, immune to water and fire, impervious to blades and guns."
"Can the physical body truly be refined to such a degree?"
"Wouldn’t that be akin to the legendary Golden Body Immortal cultivation?"
Instantly, the crowd grew animated, exclaiming and inquiring fervently.
Though they were genuine Martial Arts experts, Yang Fei’s words just now overturned their understanding of Martial Arts cultivation.
