The Duel That Turned The Tide (2)

Increasing the cultivation speed of a cultivator?

All of them widened their eyes in surprise and stared flabbergasted at the delicate but determined features of Gu Ruoyun.

At the same time, before they could actually process the words of Gu Ruoyun, Elder Yu had already distributed the pills to every one of them while holding the ceramic bottle in his hand. All of them swallowed the pill in doubt and immediately sat down in a cross-legged manner to start their cultivation process.

The Qi energy gradually gathered around these people, forming a fog that was green in color. If there were other people in the vicinity, they would be stunned. After all, an intense amount of Qi energy would be needed to form a fog, wouldn't it?

At this moment, none of the people dared to lose their focus even the slightest bit. They seized and made full use of every second and minute to start their cultivation, as though the commotion outside was slowly fading away.

"Haha! I broke through it! I finally made a breakthrough!"

"The effect of this Qi Gathering Pill is really astounding. It really allows our cultivation to make a breakthrough quickly!"

All of them began to laugh out loud. The moment they turned their heads and looked at Gu Ruoyun, a change could be seen in the way they looked at her.

They had a feeling that they would definitely not regret following the leadership of this young lady.

"Your subordinate, Xun Feng is hereby apologizing for my past actions of doubting and provoking you, master."

There was a flash of mixed feelings in Xun Feng's eyes. Half-kneeling down, the look on his face had changed from arrogance and haughtiness to respect.

He finally understood now why she was convinced that they would not regret being her followers!

He also believed that the things that this young lady had said was not made of empty words and promises. By following her lead, the day that he could finally get his revenge would definitely not be far away.

Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly and said, "My heart is like a devil and the way I handle matters are devilish as well. From now onwards, our troops will be known as the Devil Sect! Xun Feng will be the Left Protector while Mo Yu will be the Right Protector. Every matter and issues in the sect should be reported to both of them."

As she was speaking, she threw a glance towards Xun Feng, followed by another glance at the young lady who had not spoken a single word since the moment she entered.

From the information that Elder Yu had passed to her, she knew that the young lady was called Mo Yu. The power that she possessed was nothing out of the ordinary. However, she had a determination and perseverance that nobody else had. Besides...

Mo Yu's mental capacity was very resilient and resolute, which made her suitable to refine pills!

"Yes, Sect Master!" All of the people knelt down simultaneously and said out loud.

"Don't need to call me Sect Master ." Gu Ruoyun waved her hands and continued, "Just 'Master' or 'Lady Gu' will suffice. For the time being, all of you stay here and nobody will disturb you here. Xun Feng, Mo Yi, you two will follow me and leave this place. In five years time, I will need to let the rest of the world know about the power of the Devil Sect!"

This was precisely the reason why she needed to buy a courtyard that could fit all these people and become the temporary residence for all of them.

"Yes, Master." Xun Feng and Mo Yu replied in unison, their gaze on Gu Ruoyun, gleaming with intensity.

....

On the street, the people were bustling with activities.

Earlier on, Gu Ruoyun had inquired about a house that was situated quite close to the Hundred Herb Hall. Before she could establish the headquarter of the Devil Sect, she would first need to find a place for this group of people to stay in. After all, the place that Elder Yu had provided was a little too small and it could not fit fifty people.

Of course, this would only be a temporary accomodation. What she really needed was to find a place that was so hidden that nobody else could find it.

The moment that Gu Ruoyun walked up to the house, she saw that somebody was already in the midst of making a deal with the owner.

"You?" Ling Yu could instantly recognize Gu Ruoyun that was walking up towards them with just a glance. Her face instantaneously darkened a few shades. "Gu Ruoyun! What is a useless little girl like you doing here?"

Just the thought of herself being kicked out of the Hundred Herb Hall would make her blood boil in a rage all over again. Who would have ever thought that Gu Ruo Yun that loser was actually taken into Hundred Herb Hall to become one of the servants instead?

That's right, in Ling Yu's eyes, the reason Gu Ruoyun was taken into Hundred Herb Hall by Zhao Manager could only be to serve as a servant.
