Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time-Chapter 52: The Twin Leaf Peak Sect

Han Yu recovered after a few minutes, which Xu Qing graciously granted him.

"Come, we still have some distance to travel, and I also have to explain some things to you," Xu Qing spoke.

"Okay." Han Yu took a long gulp of water, feeling as if he had just survived a near-death experience.

They left the building and stepped onto a vast open ground. The place was bustling with activity—disciples zipped around like industrious bees, servants scurried about carrying various supplies, and the entire atmosphere hummed with efficiency.

Towering trees lined the edges, their leaves rustling in the breeze, while the crisp scent of fresh grass and blooming flowers filled the air.

Han Yu instantly felt invigorated, as if he had just inhaled liquid vitality itself.

"HUU... HUUU... HUUU..." Han Yu took deep, exaggerated breaths, looking almost intoxicated by the sheer quality of the air.

"Still think this is some fourth-rate sect?" Xu Qing chuckled.

"Nope! Not at all! This is a top-tier sect! Forget that—this is a celestial sect!" Han Yu immediately switched gears, his boot-licking instincts kicking in at full force.

"There's still more to see. We're just in an outpost of the sect," Xu Qing replied.

"This isn't the sect?" Han Yu was dumbfounded. "But there are so many buildings!" He could count at least thirty well-built, elegant structures in the vicinity.

"No, this is just an outpost used for welcoming travelers and maintaining a Teleportation Array," Xu Qing clarified.

"Shouldn't a Teleportation Array be in a more secure location?" Han Yu asked, still picturing grand teleportation formations hidden within the depths of mighty sects.

"No, that would be far too risky. If someone took control of the array, enemies could invade straight into the heart of the sect. It's better for it to be here, giving the sect ample time to react," Xu Qing explained.

"I see..." Han Yu nodded sagely, pretending he had understood all along. "Then... are there more places like this?"

"Of course. There are multiple outposts with several teleportation arrays. This is just one of them."

Han Yu's eyes sparkled as he processed the implications.

'Looks like I lucked out! I came to an even richer sect! Did I just scam fate itself?' he mused, barely containing his glee.

As he basked in his supposed good fortune, Xu Qing led him to the outpost's exit. A vast, seemingly endless forest sprawled before them, with no buildings in sight.

"We'll fly from here," Xu Qing said, summoning her sword.

Now far more experienced, Han Yu hopped on with ease, no longer flailing like a panicked cat.

Xu Qing ascended, taking them high above the landscape to give Han Yu a proper view of the sect.

From this height, Han Yu could see the expanse of the Twin Leaf Peak Sect—rolling forests, serene lakes, three winding rivers, and countless buildings scattered across the mountains and valleys. Some structures perched elegantly on mountaintops, some nestled into slopes, and others sprawled across the ground like miniature fortresses.

But what truly caught his attention were the ten mighty peaks crowned with grand palaces and halls, standing like titans surveying their domain.

"Those ten mountains you see are the main peaks of the Twin Leaf Peak Sect," Xu Qing began her grand tour. "They are the Sword Peak, the Alchemy Peak, the Beast Peak, the Scholar Peak, the Formation Peak, the Spear Peak, the Armament Peak, the Elder Peak, the Ancestral Peak, and finally, the Great Peak, where the Grand Hall of our sect is located."

"Whoa..." Han Yu let out an impressed whistle.

From what he could tell, the Twin Leaf Peak Sect was not a one-trick pony but an all-encompassing powerhouse. Unlike specialized sects such as the Copper Cauldron Sect, the Solitary Edge Sword Sect, or the Soaring Tiger Saber Sect, this one seemed to have it all.

"Each peak has a distinct specialization and function, most of which you can already guess from the names," Xu Qing continued.

"What about the Scholar Peak, the Armament Peak, and the Ancestral Peak?" Han Yu asked, noting that those weren't as obvious.

"The Scholar Peak houses the Grand Library, the Great Skill Pavilion, and the Administration Hall. It's where most disciples go to obtain techniques, but they usually have to exchange merit points for them," Xu Qing explained. "Each peak also has its own Skill Pavilion related to its specialization."

"I see." Han Yu nodded, mentally calculating how much boot-licking he'd need to do to access those treasures for free.

"The Armament Peak is where most of the sect's weapons and tools are crafted. Disciples can buy or even forge their own, but if you're not part of the peak, you'll have to rent the facilities."

"Ah, a money-draining peak," Han Yu muttered under his breath.

"And the Ancestral Peak?"

"That's sacred ground," Xu Qing's tone became more reverent. "The Ancestral Tablets of our forefathers are placed there, and those who die honorably have their names added to it. Entry is strictly restricted."

Han Yu made a mental note not to wander near that one.

"Other than the Ancestral Peak, both the Elder Peak and the Great Peak have restricted access. You'll only enter the Great Peak when you're formally inducted as a disciple."

"I'll look forward to it." Han Yu grinned, already picturing himself strutting into the Grand Hall with all the confidence of a seasoned cultivator.

"What about those other mountains?" He pointed to several smaller peaks also adorned with buildings.

"Those are residential peaks where disciples live. Your rank determines your assigned location."

Han Yu's eyes darted toward the ground-level buildings. "And those?"

"Those are either shops run by sect members or housing for the servants."

"Ah, the VIP section and the commoner section. Got it." Han Yu smirked.

Xu Qing shook her head, barely resisting the urge to flick him off her sword.

As they continued soaring over the breathtaking landscape, Han Yu's excitement only grew. This wasn't just a sect—it was a kingdom in itself, an empire of cultivation. And he was now a part of it.
