The Invincible Corruption Manual

Multiple lines of smoke and steam fumed high up in the air, coming out from within those thousands of tents camping over the grassland field.

A man from among those who camped in the grassland field happened to spot Joey standing just before the town gate. "He is here!..... The Evil Exterminator is here." He spoke aloud brusquely, afraid that nobody would notice him spotting their idol first.

The next moment everyone rushed out toward the direction of the voice, making a commotion, and gathered around Joey.

Joey saw their admiration directed to him and he felt their praise, too. But as he observed them, their actions lapsed into mawkish sentimentality as they continued cheering him over his success in destroying those spiteful and evil Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and also rescuing those babies, over and over again.

"Wow! Are they some kind of occult?" Joey wondered seeing their slightly crazed expressions.

"Alright- alright, please be silent. " Joey spoke finally with a wry smile, hanging over his face. "Can anyone tell me what is really going on here?" he asked.

But the reaction was obvious as these groups of bunch spoke at the same time, making the conversation very irritating for him.

Joey raised his hand, stopping them again. "Alright, can the leader among you step up and reply to me instead?" He suggested.

"But you are our leader." All of them replied all at once. Also, all of their voices resonated and traveled all the way deep inside the town and traveled back, echoing all around the small mountains nearby.

"Hah!!" Joey exclaimed as drops of sweat ran out of his several facial orifices. And he said in his mind, "What the….hell?! When did I ever become your leader?" He then glanced over their fanatically overly-cheering expressions and wondered again, "And they all seem to be a bunch of very disorganized hoodlums. And moreover, I suddenly happen to become their leaders, "

Joey sighed, recollecting himself first, and said in a gentle tone, "Alright, guys-guys-guys, listen up. Can anyone among you consider himself or herself a spokesman come up and tell me, why are you all here?"

After hearing his words, the surrounding retained the previously serenity as they all looked over each other, one by one.

At that time, a lanky scholar wearing a white robe and a yellow colored-scholar hat sprung out from the crowd and introduced himself, showing with grace and elegance, "Sorry, for the uncultured manner earlier, " "I\'m Shangguan Tingzhi," He cupped his hands toward Joey, bowing his head slightly.

Joey also cupped at him back and said, "Daoist Shangguan Tingzhi, alright, please continue."

"It\'s that we all here are people who suffered greatly in one way or another in the hands of the ruffian sect, Ten Thousand Poisons Sect." Shangguan Tingzhi began explaining, "And we can do nothing. Wrong, no one in the Central Continent even came out to voice out against their transgression. But a few months ago, we heard that a rookie from the Hall Of Alchemy came out to face them. He wiped them all out and even leveled the whole sect into the ground. " "And a few days ago, we all heard that it is all your doing and even learned that you came out from the forbidden ground, bringing out ten thousand toddlers safely. This news further made all of us gather together and we are all ready to follow you to the end. And, we might have crossed our line but we happened to create a guild called the Evil Exterminator Guild under your name. "

The scholar, Shangguan Tingzhi knelt on the ground and said, "Guild Master, please consider being our guild master?"

The same followed for all those thousands of people as they all knelt on the ground and spoke out the same line at the same time. And they all continued.

Joey was almost overwhelmed by their sincerity. He actually planned to reject being their so-called guild master. But now, he couldn\'t speak out as he was in a dilemma.

At that time, he heard a soft female voice ringing in his ears only, "Brother Joey, why don\'t you consider being their leader? There is no harm in it and also all of them are cultivators. There are also really good cultivators among them. Say, the scholar before you is also a famous cultivator in the Central Continent, the Scholar Tinzhi. And you have already provoked most of the Six Super Clan. So you\'ll need their help soon."

It was from Chun Churan. Joey stopped hesitating after hearing her words. He thought for a while and finally announced, "Alright, I agree to be your leader."

All the thousands of crowd cheered up.

Joey again waved his hand, and said, "But now, is not really the good time. Please go back to your home and think through it for a month. If you still wish to form the guild then come to the Seven Stars Sect."

Everyone nodded their head but some of them still thought that there was no need to think back as they had already determined to follow him. But they still remained silent, showing their obedience.

"Alright, disperse!" Joey announced.

When the crowd was about to leave the place after taking back their goods, Joey suddenly realized something and he shouted, "Wait!"

Everyone halted and looked at him.

"All the ladies please stay behind. And all those men who are well versed with medicine, especially for babies can stay. Others, please leave. And I hope we all meet again in the next month." Joey said.

Around 600 men and ladies remained in the grassland field. Joey then instructed them to get inside the town.

As the last lady entered the gate of the town, Joey suddenly glanced over at the sky and said, "Until when are you all going to stay hidden like that.  Hah, I\'m really busy and have more things to do right now. You all can come out now."

But no one came out.

"Hee hee hee, do you think I\'m just guessing?" Joey chuckled and said, "Fine, if you don\'t like to come out then I\'ll point out your hiding spots."

"There, there, there, there, and there." Joey pointed at five spots in the air around him.

"Hahaha… Now, everyone, do you think I have won the bet?" A middle-aged-looking man appeared in the air and laughed out loud. His clothes were very shabby and overall he looked exactly like a beggar.

In the next instance, three middle-aged men and a beautiful, elegant-looking lady who seemed to be in her mid-30s appeared exactly at the other four spots Joey had pointed one by one in the air.

"Little brother, why don\'t you just act that you don\'t notice us?" "Now all of my precious pills will go into this fool\'s space ring." The lady said while pouting and looking at him seductively.

"Miss Wang Ruofu, what about this? I\'ll not take a single pill from you if only you agree to go on a date with me today. Hee hee hee." The beggar-looking man asked and chuckled shyly.

Wang Roufu trembled her body as she heard him. Soon, she quickly regained herself. She then took a small pouch from inside her space ring and threw it toward the beggar-looking man.

The beggar-looking man caught it and said with a goofy smile, "Fine, that works for me, too. It\'s your loss then."

Everyone around them looked at him strangely including Joey.

Miss Wang Roufu frowned slightly. She then quickly changed back to her charming friendly look again and said, "Young Master Joey, let me introduce myself first. I\'m Wang Roufu from the Inviolable Fire Clan." She cupped her hands toward Joey.

Joey also cupped his hands back showing courtesy. "Elder Sister Wang Roufu, what can I do for you?" He asked without beating around the bush.

"Alright, I\'ll tell you." Miss Wang Roufu replied, smiling at him, "Young Master Joey, actually I\'m here to recommend you for the upcoming World Martial Meet as one of the guests of our Inviolable Fire Cla….  "

"Miss Wang Roufu, that\'s my line. Stop, trying to steal my sect\'s guest." The beggar-looking man breezed in before she finished her words.

All of them looked at him weirdly and spoke, "Shameless!" Before even asking, he had already claimed that Joey was his sect\'s guest.

The beggar-looking man ignored all of them. He turned to Joey and spoke without any reserve, "Boy, I heard that you kill one of my sect\'s degenerate and slapped all the other scoundrels in the Redcliffe mountain."

He paused, observing Joey\'s facial expression seriously.

Joey also felt a keen intent in his gaze. He wondered, "Hmm, this guy is not so simple as I thought before. He\'s at least at the level of the old man that I met in the Redcliffe mountain. " He was all ready to battle him if he wished to take revenge for his clansmen.

But the next thing caught him off guard as the beggar-looking man burst into laughter, "Hahaha, thank you, young friend, Joey. Those scoundrels had become an eye-sore to me and I have been planning to whop their asses since a long time ago. Now you have taught them a good lesson."
