Following behind Duan San’er from the courtyard was his little sister, Duan Jieyu. She was an alarmingly beautiful girl, filled with a certain charm and gentleness. She wasn’t too tall, but her proportions matched her. Because of her perennial illness, she was pale and one could even see the small blue blood vessels beneath her skin. Right now, she was wearing the same drab gray servant clothes as Duan San’er, but this didn’t diminish her beauty in the least. Rather, it made one wish to protect her from their heart.

As the messenger cultivator saw Duan Jieyu, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing the similarities in the facial appearances of the two, he seemed to become aware of something, as if he discovered the true reason why Duan San’er was chosen.

So, when Qin Yu arrived, he detected a strange look in the cultivator’s eyes. Of course, when Qin Yu earnestly took another look, the cultivator had also put on a respectful and polite appearance.

Gossip and rumors, the cultivator could imagine all he wanted. But unless he maintained a sense of propriety, he was simply looking for trouble.

“Lord Yao Bin, the transmission array has already been prepared. You, as well as the other new disciples, will be sent into the Demonic Path’s small world in batches today. I ask that you please follow me to the City Lord Mansion as soon as possible to avoid affecting the transmission arrangements.”

Qin Yu nodded. “Let’s go.”

Dawnperch Hotel’s current manager was still the old wealth-loving man from before. He stood at the intersection of the rear inn, watching the siblings Duan San’er and Duan Jieyu approach, a bit of excitement in his eyes.

However, both sides didn’t exchange any words, otherwise it would have only caused more troubles for this old man just as they were leaving. Duan San’er made a vow in his heart that if he managed to accomplish anything in the future, he would find some way to repay this uncle of his.

Sitting in the speedcar arranged by the City Lord Mansion, Duan San’er and Duan Jieyu finally began to relax. But when they saw the opulent decorations within the car, they unconsciously became a little uneasy.

Qin Yu glanced at them, not saying anything. Some things couldn’t be explained with words alone. It would be fine once they familiarized themselves with everything in the future.

They smoothly arrived at the City Lord Mansion. Looking at this grand mansion once more, although it still possessed an overwhelming momentum, it didn’t give off the terrifying oppression that it did before.

It seemed that the great figures of the Demonic Path who had gathered here because of the accident with the Demon Ascension Gate had already left.

Qin Yu relaxed a little. To him, this was definitely something good. At the very least, from how things looked now, no one had managed to obtain any evidence that was disadvantageous against him. As for suspicions…as the last person to leave the ancient tree monster, even if it was well known that he didn’t have the strength to slay the beast, he still wasn’t completely washed of suspicion.

And Qin Yu had now become a part of the Demonic Path. Moreover, his performance was splendid so many people knew of him. Even if some people had ill intent, without evidence they couldn’t blatantly make things awkward for him. He would simply need to be more careful in how he conducted affairs in the future so that he didn’t give anyone a weapon to use against him.

Within the City Lord Mansion, a temple had vanished and a massive array formation had taken its place. It was incomparably complex and occupied a region of several acres. A group of stern-faced Demonic Path array masters were hurrying to make the final adjustments and tests.

The one that was here to manage the transmission was the Lord of Heavenly Demon City. He was a thin and small old man dressed in purple robes. Though there was nothing special about his appearance, if he could rule over the Demonic Path’s great Heavenly Demon City for over a thousand years, his strength couldn’t be underestimated. Even if his aura was restrained, he still emitted a feeling that left one’s chest stuffy.

When Qin Yu arrived, his status was confirmed and he obtained his own transmission number.

He was part of the fourth batch.

This time, the Demonic Path had decided to accept every cultivator who survived the small world. Thus, there were almost 2000 new disciples. This set a record for the highest number of disciples to be recruited into the Demonic Path in a single time.

In addition, some Demonic Path disciples were just like Qin Yu and brought their own servants. This led to a mind-boggling amount of people. Even if the transmission array had been strengthened this time, the entire transmission process had no choice but to be divided into five separate batches.

“First batch of disciples, enter the transmission array!” With a loud shout, the crowd began to turn noisy and chaotic. Hundreds of new Demonic Path disciples hurried forward with excited expressions.

For the cultivators who managed to survive the incident within the Demon Ascension Gate, luck was a must. But besides luck, there wasn’t much else they needed. So strictly speaking, in this massive crowd of nearly 2000 people, there weren’t actually many people who truly satisfied the standards for entering the Demonic Path. This was because when the Sage controlled the ancient tree monster’s avatars to hunt down the cultivators in the small world, he had consciously chosen to pursue the relatively outstanding demonic cultivators.

So for so many people to become a Demonic Path disciple today, it was a complete and happy surprise. But because of this, besides setting the record for the highest quantity of disciples that joined in one session, they also set the record as being the session with the lowest average quality.

Hum –

The giant array formation on the ground began to shine and a boundless strength erupted. Space instantly distorted and a radiant divine light sparkled, leaving one unable to look directly at it.

Bang –

A pillar of light shot into the skies, breaking apart the heavens and forming a seven-colored vortex. Moments later, as the humming of the array formation winded down, the light began to scatter and the distorted space returned to how it was.

The first transmission had ended.

Many cultivators were left aroused with enthusiasm. They thought that this really was worthy of being the Demonic Path. Even if it were just a transmission, it possessed boundless momentum.

And most importantly, after today, we are officially part of the Demonic Path.

An hour later, after further adjustments and repairs were done, the second transmission began.

There was another brief pause, and the array masters seemed to work a bit faster this time with some more experience beneath their belt. The third transmission began and finished.

“The fourth batch of disciples, enter the transmission array!”

Qin Yu turned around, “Come with me.”

Duan San’er and Duan Jieyu nodded. Since when had the two of them seen such a grand scene before? They were already shaking with nervousness. Luckily, Qin Yu had been deliberately looking after them, so they hadn’t fainted. The speed at which they moved forward wasn’t fast, but they followed close behind.

Because of this, when they arrived at the transmission array, the array formation was already full of cultivators. Qin Yu handed in his transmission number and entered the array formation.

But Duan San’er and Duan Jieyu were actually stopped from entering.

“This transmission has been filled. You must wait for the next batch.”

Qin Yu turned around. He said, “They are my servants. Since this is the case, I will go with them.”

The array master had no expression. “You have already entered the transmission array. If you leave now it will affect the safety factors of the array formation. Do not delay us.” He lifted a hand, “Prepare the transmission!”

The array formation began to shine.

Qin Yu took a deep breath. “Be a bit more careful. I will wait for you to arrive.”

Bang –

A beam of light shot up into the skies, crashing into the heavens.

Everything around him flashed dark. When his field of vision was restored, Qin Yu found that he was placed in a sea of stars.

Beneath his feet was a massive jade disc engraved with countless runes. It slowly spun around, carrying the group of people through the sea of stars.

Everyone on the disc had wide eyes as they looked at everything around them with shock and awe.

Qin Yu’s complexion didn’t change, but he was incredibly shaken within. This was because he discovered that the sea of stars around him wasn’t an illusion.

In other words, they had borrowed the strength of the array formation to tear open the barriers of the world, arriving somewhere outside.

Could the Demonic Path’s Holy Land small world actually be an outside world?

Suddenly, the runes on the jade disc beneath their feet began to shine. Light rose up, submerging everyone.

In the next moment, a giant meteor dragging along a tail of flames howled into their line of sight.

There were screams of alarm and numerous people felt their hearts rise into their throats. Luckily, the imagined collision didn’t occur and both sides passed by each other, several miles apart. Even so, the terrifying strength of the meteor caused the disc to visibly shake and tremble. There were even many people who couldn’t stand still as their faces turned pale with fear.

An hour later, a bright spot appeared. It was like a lighthouse, guiding the direction of the disc.

Suddenly, as if crashing into an invisible stream, the disc noticeably slowed down, as if being squeezed out of this area.

Then light opened up in front of everyone and a brand new world appeared. To everyone’s surprise, they could see nine great suns hanging in the heavens above!

This was the Demonic Path Holy Land’s small world.
