Avenue Stowaway

When Kong Fang and Fang Tou came closer, the three people sitting on the stone benches stood up.

"You must be Junior Brother Kong Fang, you are indeed extraordinary." The young man praised with a smile, and then introduced himself: "My name is Chu Jiang, these two are my Junior Brothers Xiang Jiuyi and Lu Chao, we are here this time on the order of the Lord to invite Junior Brother Kong Fang to join our Weapon Demon."

"The Lord invites me to join the Weapon Demon?" Kong Fang was too surprised to realize that Chu Jiang, a young man, was actually the senior brother of the young man and the middle-aged man. Kong Fang was shocked by the information in Chu Jiang's words. Kong Fang had been wondering why the Weapon Demon wanted to find him, and listed several possibilities, but the first possibility that Kong Fang ruled out was joining the Weapon Demon. But who knew that the other party actually came to invite him to join the Weapon Demon.

What surprised Kong Fang even more was that it was the Lord who invited him to join the Weapon Demons. Kong Fang believed that he did not know any Weapon Demons, let alone the most powerful Lord among them.

Of course, Kong Fang was not just surprised because of the Lord’s identity, but more because he felt incredible that the Lord suddenly asked him to join the Weapon Demon.

"Could the three senior brothers have made a mistake? I don't know the Lord, and my current level of weapon refining has not yet reached the standards to join the Weapon Demon Order. Why would the Lord let me join the Weapon Demon Order?" Kong Fang quickly suppressed his shock and asked the biggest question in his mind.

The young man Chu Jiang shook his head and smiled, saying: "We don't know about this either. If Junior Brother Kong Fang wants to know, he may have to ask the Lord himself."

Kong Fang suddenly gave a bitter smile. He didn't know the Lord at all. Asking him to find the Lord to verify the matter was a joke.

Fangtou, who was standing next to Kong Fang, was shocked and excited. He was happy that Kong Fang could enter the Weapon Demon. No one had been able to join the Weapon Demon in the past ten years, and his master not only broke this record, but also entered the Weapon Demon by refining a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Following such a master, Fangtou was also proud.

"On behalf of our Lord, we sincerely invite Junior Brother Kong Fang to join the Weapon Demons and become one of us. I wonder if Junior Brother Kong Fang is willing?" Although he knew that no one would refuse to join the Weapon Demons, the young man Chu Jiang still asked again according to the rules. Those who join the Weapon Demons must be willing, not forced.

In fact, joining the Weapon Demon Sect is not only fatally attractive to those who love refining weapons, but also those who don’t like refining weapons too much want to join the Weapon Demon Sect, because once they join the Weapon Demon Sect, their identities will change, and this special identity means that they can get more cultivation resources and benefits from the sect, which is many times better than being an inner hall disciple.

For some people who have no hope of becoming direct disciples, joining the Weapon Demon Clan is an excellent choice. Unfortunately, the threshold for joining the Weapon Demon Clan is getting higher and higher. Even some people who really love refining weapons but have poor talents cannot join the Weapon Demon Clan today, not to mention those who do not like refining weapons.

Kong Fang naturally would not refuse such a good thing, and nodded and said, "Thank you very much, three senior brothers. If there is a chance, please thank the Lord for his kindness on my behalf."

"We are family from now on, so don't be polite, junior brother." Lu Chao was a little dissatisfied before, but now he was smiling and walked up to pat Kong Fang on the shoulder, appearing to be very close.

The smiles on the faces of the young man Chu Jiang and the middle-aged man Xiang Jiuyi also deepened.

"This storage ring is for you, my junior brother. The things inside are a welcome gift for you. Of course, every junior brother who has just joined the Weapon Demon can get these. They are not too precious, but they will be of great help to your practice and refining. I hope you will not pass on some of these things after reading them. After all, these are the foundation for our Weapon Demon to have such a special status now." Chu Jiang smiled and handed a storage ring to Kong Fang.

Kong Fang nodded in thanks and put the storage ring on his finger.

"Junior brother, if you have time in the future, you can come to the Weapon Demon Palace in Yanfeng. Many fellow brothers who have practiced for more than a hundred years live in the Weapon Demon Palace. Junior brother may gain a lot by going there. Well, we will not disturb your practice. Goodbye." The young man Chu Jiang immediately wanted to take Lu Chao and Xiang Jiuyi away.

Kong Fang tried to persuade them to stay, but the three of them smiled and shook their heads, with no intention of staying any longer. According to the three of them, they would spend a lot of time together in the future, so they were not in a hurry for this moment, but they hoped that Kong Fang could go to the Demonic Palace as soon as possible.

Kong Fang escorted the three out of the courtyard. Just as they turned to leave, Kong Fang suddenly remembered Sun Hao, who was obsessed with refining weapons, and quickly said, "Brothers, please stay. I have a question for you."

Chu Jiang and the other two turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"If you have any questions, we will definitely answer them as long as we know them." Chu Jiang said with a smile.

"I heard that anyone who joins the Weapon Demon can recommend one person so that he or she also has the opportunity to join the Weapon Demon. I wonder if this is true?" Kong Fang said with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

After hearing Kong Fang's words, Chu Jiang and the other two couldn't help but look at each other with some strange looks in their eyes.

"Those who join the Weapon Demon later are not eligible to be recommended." The young man Chu Jiang shook his head. Just when Kong Fang showed disappointment on his face, Chu Jiang suddenly smiled mysteriously and continued, "But since you were personally invited by the Lord, you are not subject to this restriction. You can recommend one person, but his talent and level in refining must at least make the three of us feel that he is qualified to join the Weapon Demon and become one of us."

He was already disappointed, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events, which made Kong Fang stunned.

After Chu Jiang finished speaking, Kong Fang nodded and said, "The person I recommend is my senior brother in Huoyun Hall. His name is Sun Hao. He refined a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure in just two years. His talent for refining equipment is still very good."

"Sun Hao, we have indeed heard of this person, but he can only refine low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and has not reached the standard to join our Weapon Demon. Of course, since junior brother wants to use the recommendation quota, then we can go and take a look together. If Sun Hao's talent for refining weapons is really good, then I will decide to let him join the Weapon Demon." Chu Jiang nodded in response.

Kong Fang was happy and immediately took Chu Jiang and the other two to Sun Hao's courtyard.

Sun Hao was so excited after hearing the news, and he was extremely grateful to Kong Fang. If it weren't for Kong Fang, he would have to wait until he refined a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure before participating in the selection of weapon demons. However, no one has been able to join the weapon demons for ten years, and Sun Hao is not sure about the selection. What's more, he can only refine low-grade acquired spiritual treasures now, and it is hard to say when he can break through.

……

There are five low-rise mountains about 2,000 miles southwest of Qi Zong, but less than 3,000 miles away. The mountains are evenly distributed with gullies, strange rocks and waterfalls, lush vegetation, birds and animals flying around, and it looks like a beautiful paradise.

At the top of the highest mountain in the middle, a series of palaces are located here.

In one of the palaces, an old man in luxurious clothes and vigorous spirit was holding a jade slip. The veins on his hands were exposed, and the jade slip made a "crunching" sound in his hand that made his teeth ache.

In front of the old man, several middle-aged men stood respectfully with their heads slightly bowed, but the aura of these people was not weak, and it was obvious that they were all people of extraordinary strength.

“Although my Zhao family has many descendants, the most talented among them are Zhao Yong and Zhao Zhuo. But now, Zhao Yong has died inexplicably in Qianlong Lake, and all the hard work of my Zhao family has been in vain.” The old man stomped on the ground in hatred. For a moment, the earth shook and the palace was covered with dust. It almost collapsed, but the horrifying thing was that the ground under the old man's feet was intact.

"Qianlong Lake is a forbidden area. The Qi Sect strictly forbids its disciples from entering Qianlong Lake, and our Zhao family does not allow anyone in the family to get close to Qianlong Lake. It is impossible for Zhao Yong to run to the vicinity of Qianlong Lake, not to mention that his body appeared in Qianlong Lake. There must be something fishy about this matter. I don't care who he is. If he dares to destroy the future hope of our Zhao family, I will kill him without a burial place." The old man snorted angrily, "Immediately find a way to contact Zhao Zhuo who is working outside, and ask him to return to the Qi Sect. Ask him to investigate thoroughly for me. Anyone who may harm Zhao Yong... Don't let any of them go." The old man's voice was already filled with a terrifying chill.

"Yes, Patriarch." The middle-aged man standing below responded respectfully and then quickly left the hall.
