Although Ye Xingchen had changed his body, his soul had been subtly influenced by Jun Changxiao, and he had learned to extort money from others.
Sigh.
It would be difficult to turn back if he continued down this path.
However, from this battle, it could be seen that Ye Xingchen had the strength of a Truth Seeking Realm cultivator. He would not be at a disadvantage if he fought against four people of the same level. With a little help, he would immediately crush them.
What a joke.
The cultivation and hard work he had put in during this period was not a joke!
Swish!
Swish!
Ye Xingchen left the forbidden area with the four severely injured Elders of the Magnificent Sky Dao Sect.
However, halfway there, he suddenly stopped in mid-air and looked at the mountains in the distance. His expression gradually darkened.
"Senior Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Liu Baiwan asked.
"Nothing."
Ye Xingchen retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go."
Just as he left with his fellow sect members and captives, clouds appeared in the forest in the distance and gradually formed a graceful figure. She said in a low voice, "He actually broke through to the Truth Seeking Realm and has a contract beast of equal strength."
Who?
Empress Ling Yao.
This woman who wholeheartedly wanted to overthrow the World Hall had rarely made an appearance after the invasion of the Star Spirit World. The reason for this was that there were some plots where even Jun Chang Xiao could only play a supporting role, much less someone at the peak of the Revolving Core realm.
"Disciple."
Perfected Qing Wei gradually appeared and said, "Don't waste your time on scheming. Follow Master to cultivate. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to defeat the Patriarch of the Sect of All Times in the Promise of Ten Years."
Empress Ling Yao shook her head and said, "My opponent is not Jun Changxiao, but this Ye Xingchen."
Perfected Qing Wei's face was filled with shock.
She had forced her disciple to participate in the battle between Zhenren Tonggu and Gu Hong Zhenren. However, she did not know that Jun Changxiao intended to let Ye Xingchen fight.
She could guess that it was because there was a grudge between the two that had to be settled. If she guessed correctly, the entire Sect of All Times was probably hoping that she would die in his hands.
That was right.
That was what Gou Sheng and his disciples thought.
You can't blame them. If you want to blame someone, you have to blame Gou Bi. Ever since Ye Xingchen joined the sect, Gou Bi had always shown his monstrous anger. The enmity between the two of them was so deep that it was necessary to determine who would die and who would live.
…
Sect of All Times.
After Ye Xingchen returned, he sat alone on the mountain peak.
Even though he did not manage to catch sight of Empress Lingyao in the forest earlier, he was still able to sense her aura.
"When I was fighting with the experts of the Tianhua Dao Sect, this woman should have been watching in the dark. Would she have thought that I, who was once like an ant, would now have the cultivation of the Truth Seeking Realm?" Ye Xingchen said expressionlessly.
He wasn't showing off.
Instead, the hatred in his heart was once again ignited, and he couldn't wait to take his revenge!
"This matter is over."
Ye Xingchen clenched his fists and looked up at the sky. His gaze was cold as he said, "There must be an end to our enmity."
…
The endless grassland.
Empress Ling Yao was standing in an area filled with strange rocks.
"Disciple."
Perfected Qing Wei said seriously, "Once you enter the grotto, life and death will be unpredictable. Are you sure you want to enter?"
"…"
Empress Ling Yao fell into a short silence before murmuring, "You probably don't want me to be killed by you so easily, so … I won't let him down."
After saying that, she entered the grotto without looking back.
"Buzz!"
Streams of light flickered, forming a cage.
Perfected Qing Wei shook her head and said, "As her master, I can't guess what my disciple is thinking at all."
…
The four injured experts were locked up in the Sect of All Times.
Because they were waiting for the Tianhua Dao Sect to pay the ransom, Jun Changxiao did not send them to the Tianyuan Prison Pagoda out of humanitarian considerations to receive Erya's careful care.
Of course.
In regards to Ye Xingchen's actions, Gou Sheng gave a high degree of approval. He also taught his disciples that when they went out and had conflicts with other martial artists, they should be lenient where possible. If they really couldn't handle it, they should just capture them.
However …
He probably didn't know.
When the Tianhua Dao Sect found out that the elders were detained, they almost couldn't help but cheer on the spot.
The Ten Major Immortal Sects ordered them to find trouble with the Sect of All Times, and the bigger the better. Now that they were detained and had to pay the ransom, wasn't the problem very serious?
"Quick!"
Lin Shangyi said, "Inform the Immortal Sects!"
In just half a day, the news was sent to the Lingtian Immortal Sect.
After Lin Haoyan found out, he replied, "Send someone to ask for the ransom. Resolutely refuse to pay the ransom."
Currently, the conflict between the two sects hadn't escalated to the point of the Ten Major Immortal Sects taking action, so the problem had to be magnified. It would be best if the whole world knew about it.
After receiving the instructions, Lin Shangyi's expression became interesting.
The ones being detained were the elders of the Tianhua Dao Sect. If they refused to pay the ransom and angered Jun Changxiao, the loss would be huge!
"Sigh."
Lin Shangyi sighed helplessly.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to offend the Sect of All Times, but now that he was directly ordered by the Immortal Sects to not resist, he could only obey.
"Let's go."
"Follow me to the Sect of All Times!"
…
"Patriarch."
In the study, Ye Xingchen recounted what happened yesterday in detail. Then, he said in confusion, "In my opinion, there must be something fishy about this matter."
"Oh?"
Jun Changxiao asked, "What's fishy about it?"
Ye Xingchen held his chin and said, "Who in the upper realm doesn't know that the Patriarch's master is Zhenren Tonggu? How could the disciples of the Tianhua Dao Sect not know? How could they not recognize the words' Ancient 'carved on the clothes? "
"Perhaps this Dao-level sect doesn't take our Sect of All Times seriously," Jun Changxiao said.
Ye Xingchen said, "It's common for disciples of the sect to have conflicts with other factions when they go out. Why did the four elders of the Truth Seeking Realm come out as soon as they released the distress signal?"
"Indeed."
Jun Changxiao said, "It's a little strange."
According to his understanding, the forbidden area where Liu Baiwan and the others went to do the mission was extremely far away from the Tianhua Dao Sect. Even if they came to help immediately, it would take at least an hour.
"Or rather …"
Ye Xingchen said, "Do the disciples of this sect have elders of the Truth Seeking Realm protecting them in the dark at all times when they go out to train?"
"Impossible."
Jun Changxiao denied, "Unless they have nothing better to do."
In the past, he had sent Gu Zhaoxi to protect the disciples of the sect when they were on missions, but it was only during special times. Later on, he chose to let him go.
A Dao Sect that was based in the upper realm must have tens of thousands of disciples. Were there enough elders to protect them 24 hours a day?
"Don't say it."
Jun Changxiao clasped his hands together and said, "It's really strange."
Gou Sheng did not believe that there was nothing fishy about sending four elders of the Truth Seeking Realm over when the disciples had a conflict.
"Ask Liu Baiwan to come over."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Liu Baiwan walked in.
As an outer sect disciple, although he often saw the Patriarch on the main peak, he could not remain calm now that he was in close contact with him.
"Tell me about the conflict with the Tianhua Dao Sect."
"Yes!"
Liu Baiwan hurriedly began to narrate, "I entered the forbidden area with a few fellow disciples and found a large number of Earth Responding Stones. We had just put them into our Space Rings when the people of the Tianhua Dao Sect jumped out and said that they found it first and asked us to return it quickly. Then … we started fighting."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
