God of Slaughter

Chapter 562: Evil reputation

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Radiant God Cult was situated in the East of the Divine Great Land. There were dozens of kingdoms, grand mountains, and big rivers, spiritual crystals and herbs were abundant. The heaven and earth aura was dense and pure.

The Radiant God Cult were structured with Yun Hao as the Master and his seven Grand Elders. Among the seven elders, Ji Mu and Yue Ying had the First Sky of True God Realm cultivation base. They were cultivating the Flaming Sun Execution and the Silver Moon Execution respectively.

The other five elders, including Xue Mue, were at the Spirit Realm. Xue Mu, Yun Xiu, and Zhao Wo were at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, while Liu Xiao and Zhi Nuo were at the Second Sky of Spirit Realm.

Besides the seven Grand Elders, there were dozens of protectors, whose cultivation base wasn’t ordinary. Some of them had reached Spirit Realm.

The Radiant God Cult was big and strong with countless warriors. Hotshots there were as many as dense clouds. Their internal relationships were complicated too. Not all of them tried to live in harmony and peace. There was competition, in bright light and in the dark.

The Radiance Mount was the root of the God Sect. It stored many secret books for cultivating for the God Sect. Also, it was where Yun Hao cultivated.

The seven Grand Elders had their own territories, which had different big or small countries within. These countries just needed to do their duties with the corresponding elders, and would turn in Essence Qi Crystals or valuable cultivating materials.

The seven Grand Elders had chosen children with the special innate endowment in the region. They would invest in them, making them the new members of the God Sect and teach them the techniques of the Radiant God Cult. The children would become their core members.

Shi Yan followed Yun Hao. As soon as he saw the internal area of the Radiant God Cult, he finally realized that the sect was really vast and rich.

They soon reached Mount Radiance. Facing up to look at the majestic, towering mountain, Shi Yan could feel the abundant heaven and earth aura here. Shi Yan was moved. Breathing the spiritual Qi in this mountain helped him feel refreshed.

Mount Radiance jutted up to the sky, piercing through tiers of clouds. From the foot of the mountain, they couldn't even see its peak, but clusters of shining white, cotton clouds wandering about.

Mount Radiance had many kinds of herbs planted on it. Spiritual animals were walking freely here and there. Also, many protectors and warriors were cultivating the herbs there.

A pavilion was situated in the middle of Mount Radiance’s flank.

Six Elders, including Ji Mu, Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, Zhao Wo, Liu Xiao, and Zhi Nuo, were seated at six different corners. Their disciples were discussing outside the pavilion.

"Master sent the message to ask us to gather at Mount Radiance. I heard that he wants to hold the investiture ceremony for a kid." Yun Xiu was a middle-aged woman wearing a yellow royal robe. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as drawings. She had an oval face, with soft and smooth skin. Her bearing was elegant and graceful. She took a sip of her tea, then slightly frowned. "I don't know who's worth such treatment from the Master."

"Before that, Xue Mu told me that the one who’s about to join out sect comes from the Endless Sea." Ji Mu beamed a faint smile. "I didn’t expect that such a rural area like the Endless Sea could produce a talented youth. Seems like we need to take care of that place more."

"Endless Sea…" Zhao Wo snorted, "What kind of talented young men that remote, barbarian area can nurture? I think the Cult Master just wants to make a small thing big."

"Do you know what’s young man’s name?" Yue Yin asked softly.

Yue Ying was also female. She had a long ginger hair that draped over her shoulder. She looked roughly twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. This woman was long-limbed, wearing a dark green dress with silvery embroidery. She looked as mild and elegant as a lotus. Her eyes were bright, and her aura was like the cold moon.

"Shi Yan something," Ji Mu frowned.

"Shi Yan…" Yue Ying’s face suddenly became cold. She snorted, "I’ve heard this name."

Ji Mu, Zhao Wa, Yun Xiu, and the others had their eyes lit up, looking at her but didn’t say anything.

"I have insiders in the Fighting Union. I heard that when this brat arrived at the Divine Great Land, he had an ambiguous relationship with the four snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City. This brat was sinking into their beauty and had fun there. He has caused Bing Qing Tong's group to turn their back to the Ning family. They've caused grudge against the Nings. Heaven Temple has also put an eye on him. They want to kill him indeed."

Yue Yin explained with a faint visage.

"Turns out he has some tricks," Ji Mu grinned. "Bing Qing Tong wouldn’t be deceived by a gigolo easily. But if he could have an affair with her, I kinda admire him."

"You don’t understand my point here," Yue Ying arched her brows, replying coldly. "He has an impure relationship with all four women, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing!"

The three men present there, Ji Mu, Zhao Wo, and Liu Xiao were terrified, revealing their admiring faces as they secretly complimented the young man in their minds.

The four frosting snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City were famous in the Divine Great Land. Many experts, who claimed themselves to be distinguished and accomplished, all wanted to get the attention of these four snow flowers. But none of them had ever succeeded.

Shi Yan had just arrived the Divine Great Land and he had an ambiguous relationship with these four flowers that fast. This stunned Ji Mu and the others, as they envied him a lot.

"Let aside his realm, his tricks in hunting for beauty’s superb." Zhao Wo constantly appraised, "The four snow flowers have kept themselves pure. The Ice Jade Technique they’re cultivating requires a pure body, which restrains them from having affairs. This kid is tremendous that he can make the four of them submit to him."

Ji Mu and Liu Xiao also nodded, continually acclaiming the young man.

Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and Zhi Nuo filled their faces with disdain. They suddenly became cold, snorting.

Ji Mu and the other two beamed a wry smile, but didn’t concern themselves with it much. They were curious to know the details.

Yue Yin wore a cold countenance as she was cursing under her breath that no man was really a gentleman. "That brat caused grudges against Ning Du Quan. The Nings hate him, and so does the Heaven Temple. I don’t know how many troubles will come with him later on."

"If Master asked us to wait, it’s obvious that he favors this kid a lot. Under our Master’s protection, what can the Heaven Temple do?" Ji Mu cracked a faint smile and didn’t pay attention to Yue Ying’s words.

"Our Master has good vision. The one he has favored shouldn't be an ordinary warrior." Liu Xiao was bewildered for a while, then said to Ji Mu. "You had found Yu Le. You and Xue Mu have invested much into him. Arent you afraid that after that kid comes here, he will replace Yu Le?"

Ji Mu was stunned, but he felt funny. "Even if that kid can be more powerful, he isn’t Yu Le’s match… not strong enough to be a threat. I respect his tricks in hunting beauties, but I know Yu Le. And, I don’t think that a kid from the Endless Sea could replace his position in the God Sect."

Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and Liu Xiao nodded silently.

Yu Le had been an excellent disciple of the Radiant God Cult for years. His innate talent was earth-shaking. All of them had been watching Yu Le growing up step by step until he reached the current level. They all knew how strong Yu Le was. That’s why they didn’t think that Shi Yan could become a threat to Yu Le.

"At most, he’s at the level of Han Chang or Li Mu Yu." Ji Mu smiled, not too concerned.

"What about Mu Yu?" snorted Yue Ying. "If her fortune was better, she could have broken through the True God Realm. I think even Yu Le couldn’t defeat her at that time! Harrumph. I’ve trained Mu Yu myself, and I know her competence."

Ji Mu gave her a wry smile. "Alright, she’s great. I’m not going to quarrel with you. Let the reality answer."

Yue Ying snorted, and didn’t try to debate with him further.

Right at this moment, a beam of Soul Consciousness expanded from the peak of Mount Radiance.

Ji Mu’s group was shaken. All of them shot up from their seats, taking their disciples to the peak of the mountain.

Mount Radiance’s summit.

Stone and metal buildings towered the place. The ground was level, with the majestic grand palace situated in the middle. The stone pillars of the palace were carved with flying dragons and roaring tigers, seeming live.

A purple-red light flashed as Yun Hao, Shi Yan, and Xue Mu appeared in front of the palace in the center.

Ji Mu’s group had been waiting for them. When they saw Yun Hao, they bent to greet him.

Yun Hao waved his hand, beaming a faint smile. "I believe you guys have received my message. The temple’s arranged properly. We should proceed the investiture ceremony right away."

Ji Mu, Yue Ying, and the other nodded as light shone radiantly. They all gazed at Shi Yan.

"Shi Yan, let me introduce," Yun Hao grinned, "They are Ji Mu and Yue Ying. They're all at the First Sky of True God Realm. This is…"

Shi Yan slightly bent his body to greet them. He said, "Greetings, Elders."

"Alright, let's get to the temple for the ceremony. The seven Grand Elders and I will certify it. It's enough to give you face, right?" Yun Hao laughed cheerily, then strode into the temple.

The temple was solemn and well-prepared. Smoke meandered from incense burners, while the light of the sun, moon, and stars shone in the sky. Strange light spots showered like it was raining.

The initiation ceremony was tedious. Under Yun Hao’s guidance, Shi Yan carefully completed everything. He kept a calm and sound mind from the beginning to the end. He wasn’t urgent or cautious.

After he’d bathed and changed his cloth, he came to bow to the ancestors of the God Sect. Then, he received the Sacred Light Shower performed by Yun Hao. Shi Yan had completed the last step of the ritual to officially become a disciple of the Radiant God Cult.

During the whole process, the seven Grand Elders were watching him silently, their eyes bright.

When he finished the ceremony, the seven Elders were amazed. Their appraisal for him increased a little bit.

This kid from the Endless Sea didn’t show a streak of fear under such a big and solemn ceremony. He was deliberate, as if he had experienced bigger situations, which made people feel strange.

"From now on, you’re the disciple of our God Sect. The God Sect will shelter you, but you have to offer all to the God Sect…" Yun Hao was like a hoax medium, describing in details the doctrines of the God Sect. Eventually, he talked to Yue Ying. "I’m going to leave here to the Spirit Martial Palace to discuss important matters. I’ll give Shi Yan to you. You will tell him about the internal regulations and taboos. And, find a territory for him to take care of…"

Yue Ying bowed her head to receive the order.

"The Secret Territory’s about to open. This time, we have to put forth everything to counter. Before it opens, you have to help Shi Yan understand the martial techniques of the Radiant God Cult…" Yun Hao continued to advise her.

Yue Ying nodded continually.

The other elders observed quietly as their thoughts quickly crossed their minds. They were a bit surprised.

After Yun Hao had finished all arrangement, he smiled at Shi Yan. "You’ve just joined us, so we won’t give you too many good treats. Our Radiant God Cult will not be impartial in administering rewards and punishments. The more you contribute to the God Sect, the more rewards you will receive. You should be prepared."

Shi Yan kept silent.

Yun Hao arranged everything, then called the seven Grand Elders to conduct a meeting in the secret chamber. After that, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.
