Ten major figures from the alliance sects were beaten into pulp by Xiao Zuiji.

Although the others were furious beyond measure, they dared not step onto the stage to fight him. After all, even third and fifth-rank Wushi had been knocked unconscious—going up themselves would just mean getting beaten down.

Jun Changxiao said indifferently, “Don’t say that the Iron Bones Clanging Sect bullies people. Come, come—this seat will switch to an outer sect disciple to continue fighting with you trash.”

“Snap.”

He snapped his fingers.

Xiao Zuiji walked down, and Zhang Wei walked up.

Standing on the dueling platform, he wore the same arrogant expression, because after all, his senior brother had just been so impressive—he certainly couldn’t fall short.

An outer sect disciple fighting against the major figures of various sects?

How arrogant was this!

The alliance sect leaders, who had already been somewhat wary of Xiao Zuiji, instantly became even more enraged.

“I’ll go!”

A ninth-rate sect master at the peak Wutu stage walked up, and after exchanging blows, was knocked off the platform by Zhang Wei, a sixth-rank Wutu.

“My heavens!”

“Even an outer sect disciple can defeat a sect master!”

“This is too incredible!”

The martial artists of Liyang City once again widened their eyes.

It was one thing for Xiao Zuiji to be strong, but for the other disciples to also be this formidable—that was truly unimaginable.

Swish!

An eighth-rate sect master with cultivation at first-rank Wushi stepped onto the platform.

As a result, after exchanging just a few moves, he was knocked down!

Although Zhang Wei only had cultivation at sixth-rank Wutu, his strength had already reached fifteen thousand catties, while that sect master who had just entered the Wushi stage only had just over ten thousand.

Five thousand catties was enough to compensate for the major realm difference. Relying on various tempering methods and martial techniques, he could still easily crush his opponent.

“You call them trash and they still won’t admit it?” Jun Changxiao said with cutting words.

The sect leaders were extremely vexed, but no one dared step onto the platform anymore, because they had already realized that the Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples were too powerful—going up would just be asking for abuse!

Without a doubt.

The Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s performance today was absolutely incredible beyond belief.

When this news spread, it would surely cause a huge sensation in Qingyang Commandery.

Sending out just an outer sect disciple who could casually defeat Wushi-level alliance leaders—this was simply shocking!

“Everyone.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Will you continue fighting?”

“…”

The sect leaders remained silent, their expressions ugly to the extreme.

They had come with great momentum, but in broad daylight and before a large crowd, they had been abused by two Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples until they couldn’t tell north from south—this was absolutely shameful beyond measure.

Jun Changxiao said, “Since you won’t fight, then hurry up and scram. Don’t obstruct the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s disciple recruitment here.”

Since they had already torn their faces with the Hundred Sects Alliance, naturally he wouldn’t mince words.

“Still not leaving?”

Seeing they had no intention of departing, Jun Changxiao said with a cold gaze, “Do you want to wait for this seat to bring disciples to properly challenge your sects?”

The alliance leaders hurriedly carried their unconscious companions and left in disgrace.

This departure represented their admission of defeat.

“Everyone who came to watch the excitement.”

Jun Changxiao cupped his fists and said loudly, “Today, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect is recruiting disciples in Liyang City. Any youth aged fourteen or above may come register. Opportunities are limited—please don’t miss out.”

The martial artists of Liyang City immediately began discussing in low voices.

“To be able to train disciples to be this formidable, Sect Master Jun is truly extraordinary!”

“What a pity—my boy already joined a sect during the Hundred Sects recruitment earlier. Otherwise, I’d definitely have him join the Iron Bones Clanging Sect.”

“My nephew just turned fourteen. I can have him come try.”

Many martial artists hadn’t dared let their children join the Iron Bones Clanging Sect because they feared the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Now, just two disciples had wildly abused the sect leaders, which showed they were truly strong and truly unafraid!

What was there to consider!

They must join the Iron Bones Clanging Sect!

In an instant, elders with children aged fourteen or above all began taking action.

In just half an hour, over a hundred young men and women had gathered in the square, their eyes all gleaming with excitement and fervor.

The Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s reputation had risen greatly recently. They had naturally heard about it and infinitely yearned to become members, but helplessly restrained by family objections, they could only suppress these thoughts.

“Name.”

“Shangguan Shuo.”

Jun Changxiao looked up. Seeing the youth was young and quite sturdy, he stamped down with the sect master’s seal.

“Ding! Sect members: 503/1000.”

Because a disciple had perished earlier, reaching 503 again didn’t increase contribution points.

“Name.”

“Yang Kong.”

A rather tall young man scratched his head as he spoke.

After confirming eye contact, Jun Changxiao stamped the sect seal again.

The martial artists of Liyang City watching from afar immediately felt their mouths twitch.

Only asking for names, not asking about spiritual roots or cultivation before admitting them to the sect—Sect Master Jun’s disciple recruitment was far too casual!

The next to register was a young girl with delicate features named Yuan Xiaohan.

The Iron Bones Clanging Sect had too much yang energy. Jun Changxiao naturally hoped to recruit more female disciples to suppress it, so without any consideration, he directly stamped the sect seal.

After that, for young men he needed to confirm eye contact before deciding whether to accept them, but as long as they were young women, he would unhesitatingly accept them as soon as they stood at the registration area.

The martial artists of Liyang City felt somewhat dizzy.

Recruiting disciples so carelessly—this was simply unprecedented!

“Um…”

After successively accepting twenty or thirty people, an old man in tattered clothes came forward and said, “Sect Master Jun, I have a child here. She’s a bit young—will your sect accept her?”

Jun Changxiao looked up and saw a young girl around six or seven years old hiding behind the old man, with fear in her large, round eyes.

“My apologies.”

Jun Changxiao said, “She’s too young.”

Although the little girl’s face was dirty, she looked very cute.

Unfortunately, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect wasn’t a kindergarten daycare center—naturally they wouldn’t recruit such a young child.

The old man pleaded, “This child has no father or mother. Following this old bag of bones, wandering the streets, sooner or later she’ll starve to death. Please, Sect Master Jun, show some kindness and accept her into the sect.”

“Grandpa Lu, I won’t go. I want to stay with you.”

The little girl said in her childish voice, the fear in her eyes replaced by determination.

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “Old man, there are many orphans without fathers or mothers in this world. If this seat accepted every one I saw, the sect couldn’t contain them all.”

“Hmph.”

The little girl pouted and said, “I don’t care to join your sect anyway. I want to stay with Grandpa Lu forever.”

As she spoke, she tugged the old man backward.

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “Next.”

“Meng Yuxuan.”

Snap.

The sect seal was stamped.

Half an hour later.

A total of one hundred young men and women had become Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciples.

The sect membership rose from the initial 502 to 602, and contribution points also increased from a pitiful 5 points to 104 points.

This way, Sect Master Jun felt much more secure.

Among the disciples recruited in Liyang City this time, there were slightly more young women than young men. After returning to the sect, they could also suppress that masculine energy.

“Let’s go.”

Sect Master Jun said, “Return to the sect.”

He first went to the City Lord’s Manor to bid farewell to City Lord Ao, then led all the disciples back to the sect.

Just as they walked out the city gate, he saw the old man in tattered clothes from earlier, hunched over, leading that little girl step by step outward. The backs of the old and young figures appeared quite pitiful.

“Alas.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “There are many pitiful people in this world. If this seat tried to rescue them all, what sect would I develop? I might as well run a welfare institution.”

“Let’s go.” He led the disciples away.

Watching the Iron Bones Clanging Sect people pass by, the old man sighed and said, “Mengying, do you truly want to wander the world with your grandfather?”

The girl called Mengying said earnestly, “Grandpa Lu is Yingying’s closest relative in this world. Wherever you go, Yingying will follow.”

“Very well.”

The old man said kindly, “We’ll go to Sunyang City.”

“Mm.”

The old and young walked along the official road, their backs stretching infinitely long in the dusk.
