I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 665 The entire internet exploded

Wan Qiyuan and the older elders from the four major sects were all carefully reviewing the sword formation led by Jiang He.

The sword formation's trajectory was bizarre, turning disordered things into order, much like the sword formation they remembered being performed by a powerful figure.

Lin Xia looked at the sword formation and trembled slightly:

"Do you remember how it felt to be controlled by him?"

Upon hearing Lin Xia's words, Wan Qiyuan quickly realized who he was referring to:

“I remember now, but I still think it’s unlikely. He hasn’t appeared in public for so many years, and he doesn’t care about the affairs of the Black Nest anymore. I haven’t heard any news about him joining a sect or taking on disciples all these years. This sword formation is indeed similar, but the connection is too small.”

Lin Xia chuckled: "Didn't Dugu Junli take on a disciple before?"

“Jiang He is already dead in the Black Nest. He was a man with shallow Six Fates. Now that he has lost his disciple, who can he teach this sword formation to?”

Wan Qiyuan also wondered if the sword formation before him might have been created by Dugu Junli.

The two speakers spoke with a touch of antiquity, and the elders present, who had lived a long time, understood them.

Ye Qingqian scoffed. Wan Qiyuan's disciple, Wan Qiziye, had taken away many cultivators from Lingyun Sect. Although Hua Lanzheng had opened most of her meridians, judging from Wan Qiyuan's posture, he was clearly challenging her to a duel.

We're both from the Lingyun Sect, I really don't know what Wan Qiyuan is thinking.

Ye Qingqian glanced at Wan Qiyuan, who was siding with outsiders, and suddenly spoke:

"It seems you don't know, but Dugu Junli joined the Xiaoyao Sect a long time ago. She is no longer a person without relatives or friends."

Ye Qingqian's words fell to the ground.

The other elders looked surprised upon hearing this.

Did Dugu Junli join the Xiaoyao Sect?

That Free and Unfettered Sect? Is it the newly built one, or the old one?

In fact, no matter which one they joined, they all found it incredible.

If he had joined the Xiaoyao Sect, which was participating in the sect competition, firstly, the sect was poor and had nothing, so Dugu Junli would not have been able to gain any benefit.

If he were to join the old sect, that would be even more problematic. Dugu Junli dislikes Heng Yihang the most, so how could he possibly join the Xiaoyao Sect where Heng Yihang is located?

Dugu Junli had many enemies in his early years. Besides his tendency to offend people, it was also because he had no sect background. Whenever he offended a cultivator, the entire sect would be mobilized to hunt him down, while Dugu Junli remained alone. After all these years, they subconsciously assumed that he would still be alone.

It was one thing that news broke earlier that Dugu Junli was taking on disciples, but how come they didn't know about him joining the sect now?

Looking at Wan Qiyuan's expression, Ye Qingqian could tell that he was unaware of this matter.

Ye Qingqian stared straight ahead. That cunning Dugu Junli must have taught the sword formation to Hongmu.

Wan Qiyuan had many channels, so he quickly went to check which sect Dugu Junli had joined.

He was confident in his military formation, but the overwhelming sword formation still made Wan Qiyuan suspicious.

Upon hearing Ye Qingqian's words, he suddenly understood some things.

Is the Free and Unfettered Sect really the Free and Unfettered Sect...?

After the three sects' competition ended, many clips of the Xiaoyao Sect's sword formation versus the Lingyun Sect's military formation appeared online.

Every time you enter a post or blog entry, there are a large number of cultivators discussing it.

[12L: Why are the cultivators of the Free and Unfettered Sect so powerful? They even surpass the Lingyun Sect!]

14L: Awesome! No wonder it's a grand spectacle. This sword formation is quite impressive. Hongmu is so cool! The sword cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect are also so cool!

20L: Brothers, I'm going to get into sword cultivation. I haven't decided what to learn yet, but now I've made up my mind. I'll start as a sword cultivator at the Wanjue Academy and then go to the Xiaoyao Sect after graduation. As long as I can assemble this incredibly cool sword formation, I'm willing to be a sword cultivator for life!

25L: You should ask Redwood what this sword formation is made of; it's even more powerful than a military formation.

33L: But everyone says Lingyun Sect uses a military formation with a damage bonus, so why did they lose?

47L: I'm totally confused. There must be a powerful figure behind the Xiaoyao Sect, right? What's the name of Hongmu Zheng's sword formation? Let me search it up and see what formation could be even more powerful than a military formation.

51L: I suddenly noticed something. Every time everyone is pessimistic about the Free and Unfettered Sect, they always manage to win. Are you guys setting up a flag for the Soaring Cloud Sect? That's a bit too much, huh?

56L: Who made a prediction? I really don't understand. The Free and Unfettered Sect looks weak, yet they won. It's completely illogical.

105L: I found something interesting. Why don't you guys turn the live stream camera over to the spectator area? I think I heard the elders of the Blood Alliance and the Lingyun Sect discussing some kind of sword formation, and they even mentioned Dugu Junli's name.

114L: Dugu Junli? What happened to the big shot?

132L: It seems like the expert has some connection with mahogany, I just think so.

521L: Let me summarize for you. Elder Ye is Dugu Junli who joined the Xiaoyao Sect, and then Elder Wanqi guessed that the great Dugu passed on the sword formation to Hongmu.

639L: The statement in post #521 is not entirely reliable. The first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half is not quoted from the original text and is based on speculation.

645L: Don't say anything without evidence. I'm not very bright, my mind is a mess, and I can't make sense of it at all.

662L: Huh? Come to think of it, isn't Master Dugu's disciple Jiang He? What does he have to do with Hongmu?

700L: Things are getting a bit unpredictable.

741L: No, aren't you guys shocked? Boss Dugu has actually joined a sect, and it's the Xiaoyao Sect!

777L: Holy crap, I'm only just realizing this now. So it's true that there's a master behind the Xiaoyao Sect!

1003L: Does everyone have some misunderstanding about the Free and Unfettered Sect? I remember someone saying a while ago that the cultivators of the Free and Unfettered Sect have no background. But Boss Dugu is the biggest background of the Free and Unfettered Sect, okay?

1041L: I'm starting to suspect that the Free and Unfettered Sect has offended someone. There are new rumors every day. A while ago, everyone said the Free and Unfettered Sect was broke, but then Hongmu turned around and refined a whole furnace of top-grade pills. They said the Free and Unfettered Sect's combat strength was weak, but now they're incredibly strong. Could it be that the previous rumors about the Free and Unfettered Sect being some kind of trashy, three-nothing sect were also false?

1053L: There are still people saying the Free and Unfettered Sect is trash?

1134L: If you search, you'll find that the Xiaoyao Sect is still covered in smear articles online. Not long ago, there were quite a few clarification posts, but now it seems like everyone who posted is participating in the sect competition. The number of smear articles about the sect is more than all the smear articles about other small sects since their founding.

Wan Qiyuan waited quietly for news.

The computer lit up, and he quickly saw a string of simple numbers.

"006"

This is the sect registration serial number of the Free and Unfettered Sect. The Free and Unfettered Sect was established early, at the same time as the four major sects.

At that time, the serial number was only three digits, and the Xiaoyao Sect happened to be the sixth.

After comparing the information, Wan Qiyuan was able to confirm that the Xiaoyao Sect was not newly established, and the establishment time circulating online was only the time after the certificate expired and was replaced with a new one.

The Free and Unfettered Sect has always been the Free and Unfettered Sect, and the current sect leader is none other than Bei Mingzi.

After Wan Qiyuan revealed the news, Lin Xia was shocked for a moment, and then began to think:

"So, the Free and Unfettered Sect hasn't changed; it's the same Free and Unfettered Sect that Yu Cui founded?"

"Yes."

Wan Qiyuan's news reached the spectator seats, sparking a flurry of conversations and causing his Weibo account to trend on social media.

The entire internet exploded at that moment!
