Ke Yu's words sparked an impulse in Lingfeng to strike him. He shot a resentful glare at Ke Yu but was suddenly mesmerized by the scene behind him.
Ke Yu turned to follow Lingfeng's gaze and saw a woman approaching gracefully. She quickly bowed and clasped her fists, saying, "Disciple pays respects to the Assassin Hall Master!" At the same time, she discreetly tugged at Lingfeng's clothing.
Lingfeng felt nothing at first, but then he noticed the beauty moving lightly, her eyes filled with shyness and anger, her face blooming like a peach blossom, her lips naturally rosy. The two crystal earrings she wore paled in comparison to her beauty.
The Assassin Hall Master spotted Lingfeng and noticed he was staring at her intently. Her crescent-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as she softly asked, "Which hall are you from? I've never seen you before!"
"I... I just arrived at the Mandala Demon Realm!" Lingfeng seemed dazed, responding somewhat mechanically.
The Assassin Hall Master frowned and slapped Lingfeng's face hard, exclaiming loudly, "You scoundrel! Not only do you fail to pay your respects to your elders, but you also dare to call yourself a Hero! Is there no decorum?"
Lingfeng had never experienced such humiliation. Upon hearing the loud slap, he felt his face heat up and quickly regained his senses. However, as a fragrant aroma wafted through the air, he couldn't help but touch his reddened cheek and exclaim, "The beauty's jade hand has graced my cheek, releasing a wave of fragrance!" He then took a deep breath, savoring the lingering scent in the air.
Now it was the Assassin Hall Master’s turn to be stunned. In her dealings within the Mandala Demon Realm and the Assassination Hall, she had never encountered such an audacious brat. She soon noticed that Lingfeng's face bore a hint of mischief, a touch of recklessness, and an undeniable handsomeness. Coupled with his compliment about her appearance, she inexplicably developed a fondness for him.
However, as a senior of the Spirit Sect, the Assassin Hall Master could not show it openly. She glanced at Lingfeng before turning back to Ke Yu and asked, "Where are you headed?"
Ke Yu did not expect that the most beautiful woman in the Mandala Demon Realm would speak to him. His heart leaped with joy as he replied, "Disciple reports back; I am taking this new junior brother to the Demon Cultivation Hall!"
"The Demon Cultivation Hall!" The Assassin Hall Master murmured to herself before looking at Lingfeng again, feeling even more pleased.
Lingfeng stood aside without speaking, thinking that since they would meet often in the future, it would be better to leave a good impression now for easier interactions later.
"You've been here for so long and still can't find the Demon Cultivation Hall!" The Assassin Hall Master remained cold but her tone softened slightly as she pointed to a building across from them. "Remember, directly opposite the Sacred Hall is the Demon Cultivation Hall; to its left is the Cultivation Hall and to its right is the Assassination Hall. Opposite them are the Alchemy Room, Treasure Pavilion, and Scripture Pavilion!"
Ke Yu realized the significance of the identification and was surprised to learn about this memory technique. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, she heard Lingfeng beside her loudly bowing and saying, "Thank you, beautiful!"
Assassin Hall Master paused for a moment, a half-smile on her face, before turning to leave.
Ke Yu watched Assassin Hall Master's retreating figure, puzzled for a while, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Aren't you supposed to have transcended? Why are you still interested in women?"
Lingfeng looked at Assassin Hall Master's back, suddenly lifted his right foot, and kicked Ke Yu on the backside, saying, "I saw the Demonic Energy radiating from her and thought she was a monster!"
Ke Yu pondered Lingfeng's words and found them reasonable. Qi Dasheng was known for fighting monsters; it was not surprising that he would notice the strong Demonic Energy surrounding Assassin Hall Master.
"Great Sage, shall we go?" Ke Yu asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Lingfeng kicked Ke Yu again on the backside, first murmuring, "What a charming monster!" then glaring at Ke Yu, saying, "From now on, call me Junior Brother!" With that, he headed toward the Demon Cultivation Hall across the way.
Feeling regretful, Ke Yu hurriedly ran after him.
Although the exteriors of these buildings were similar, their interiors were quite different. The first floor of the Demon Cultivation Hall was a large hall filled with various weapons and tools for Demon Cultivation. Some disciples were practicing inside; upon seeing Ke Yu bring in a stranger, they stood tall with pride, recognizing him as a new disciple.
Lingfeng, however, paid them no mind. With his hands behind his back and a calm demeanor, he glanced coldly at these future seniors before walking toward the teleportation portal.
However, trouble brewed as those Demon Cultivation disciples noticed that Lingfeng was a newcomer. One by one, they stepped forward to block the path of Lingfeng and Ke Yu. One disciple with a pure appearance approached Lingfeng, but remained silent.
"Senior Brother!" Ke Yu smiled awkwardly and bowed deeply, seemingly intimidated by this senior brother. "This is a new disciple assigned to the Demon Cultivation Hall. I was ordered to bring him here to report."
The one referred to as Senior Brother completely disregarded Ke Yu, rudely pushing her aside. He turned to Lingfeng, coldly stating, "Since you've arrived at the Demon Cultivation Hall, you should know its rules." With that, he extended his right hand and beckoned with his index finger.
The person behind understood the situation and stepped forward, bowing to the Senior Brother while pompously stating the rules of the Demon Cultivation Hall. "All new disciples must kneel and pay their respects to the Senior Brothers before they can proceed!"
Lingfeng, who had been indifferent until now, suddenly burst into laughter as if he had heard an incredibly funny joke.
Everyone was taken aback, unsure of what he found so amusing.
"The disrespectful ones will receive ten slaps!" the person continued.
He then approached, intending to slap Lingfeng.
"Senior Brother!" Ke Yu hurriedly stepped in front of Lingfeng and said, "This junior brother was appointed by the Hall Master to be assigned to the Demon Cultivation Hall. If something goes wrong, it won't be good for anyone!"
In truth, Ke Yu was a disciple of the Cultivation Hall and usually wouldn't dare defy these people's orders. However, he believed that Lingfeng was not someone to provoke lightly. Moreover, he was unaware of Lingfeng's true identity and merely regarded him as Qi Dasheng, thus feeling the need to curry favor.
The person hesitated and glanced at the Senior Brother.
The Senior Brother sneered twice and said to Ke Yu, "Are you tired of living?"
In the Spirit Sect, disciples of the Demon Cultivation Hall were quite favored. Being a Senior Brother meant he was above many others in the hall. Anyone who offended him would certainly face dire consequences.
Ke Yu took a deep breath but still stood protectively in front of Lingfeng.
"Junior Brother, give him fifty slaps!"
"Yes!" The disciple who had just emphasized the rules raised his hand and aimed a slap at Ke Yu's face.
Although they were all disciples of the Demon Cultivation Hall, they had already reached a certain level of cultivation. With that slap, at least one of Ke Yu's teeth would be knocked out, not to mention fifty slaps.
However, after waiting for a while, Ke Yu did not feel any pain. Curious, he opened his eyes and found that Lingfeng was holding the second senior brother's hand in mid-air with just two fingers.
"Uh~~!" The second senior brother's lips trembled violently, and his eyes emitted killing intent. Sweat dripped from his forehead due to the pain in his hand.
The first senior brother was also surprised. After a moment of silence, he gathered a ball of Spiritual Energy in both hands, preparing to launch an attack.
Lingfeng would not give him the chance. Before the first senior brother could make a move, Lingfeng had already summoned the Connecting Rod and pressed it against the first senior brother's neck.
"If you dare to move, I'll let you hear the sound of your neck breaking!" Lingfeng threatened coldly as he pushed the Connecting Rod slightly forward.
Everyone was astonished but dared not step forward to help.
After a stalemate for a while, the first senior brother took a step back and glared at Lingfeng with resentment, saying, "Let them pass!"
Lingfeng smirked slightly, released the second senior brother, and then led Ke Yu towards the teleportation portal.
"Junior... Junior Brother~~!" By this time, they had already reached the corridor on the fourth floor. Ke Yu still felt a bit uncomfortable calling Lingfeng Junior Brother.
"What’s wrong?" Lingfeng asked lightly, still immersed in the thrill of what had just happened.
Ke Yu glanced at Lingfeng and noticed that he seemed to be in a good mood. He boldly said, "You were too impulsive just now; you provoked them. You need to be more cautious in the future."
Lingfeng did not respond and merely snorted dismissively.
Ke Yu sighed and said, "This senior brother is named Ke Zhan, and his cultivation has reached the Late Stage of Constant Victory. The second senior brother is called Ke Fei, and his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Unbeaten. They are both considered the backbone of the Demon Cultivation Hall and are greatly favored by the Master of the Demon Cult."
Lingfeng was not interested in their cultivation levels but noticed they shared a common trait: they both had the surname Ke. Confused, he asked, "Are you all from the same family? Why do you all have the surname Ke?"
"Not exactly, but I don't quite understand why all the disciples here have the surname Ke either. However, this is the Master of the Demon Cult's intention, and I can't explain it!"
With that, the two arrived at an arched doorway once again.
Lingfeng sighed and helplessly said, "Does the Hall Master of the Demon Cultivation Hall also prefer dark places? This is really inconvenient!"
Ke Yu smiled and replied, "It's not quite the same. The Vice Hall Master likes dark places because it's necessary for his Demon Cultivation. The Master of the Demon Cult hasn't reached that level yet and doesn't have such requirements. There are some Night Pearls in this room for lighting!"
Lingfeng finally relaxed and asked, "What should I call him when we go in? I can't just call him Master of the Demon Cult, can I?"
"Of course not!" Ke Yu said. "Here, we simplify titles based on each hall's name. For example, the Hall Master of the Assassination Hall is called Assassin Hall Master, the Hall Master of the Cultivation Hall is called Cultivation Hall Master, and the Hall Master of the Demon Cultivation Hall is called Master of the Demon Cult!"
"Is there any difference?" Lingfeng was almost going crazy and even began to doubt Ke Yu's intelligence!
