The second floor of the Xue Family's dungeon.
The light barrier around the Venerable Numinous Treasure had already dispersed. Ye Zichen, Yang Jian, Pu Jingwan, and the Ocean Emperor were all in his cell. However, there was one more person besides them …..
Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure, who used to be very arrogant, was now behaving very differently from before.
"Alliance Head Ye, I'll keep an eye on that old geezer for you. If there's any news, I'll relay it to you through this treasure. " As soon as he said that, the Venerable Numinous Treasure bowed to Xuan-Yuan Xiang. "Big Sister Xiang, are you satisfied?"
"Why are you asking me? Ask him!" Xuan-Yuan Xiang glared at the Venerable Numinous Treasure, then pointed at Ye Zichen. "If he's satisfied, then there's naturally no problem."
"Alliance Head Ye?" The Venerable Numinous Treasure smiled apologetically.
In truth, Ye Zichen couldn't quite understand what was going on.
Earlier, when the Ocean Emperor's clone told him to summon Xuan-Yuan Xiang, he'd been puzzled, but he'd obediently summoned her.
That was when the unexpected happened!
When Xuan-Yuan Xiang saw the Venerable Numinous Treasure, she froze, then called out his name.
The Venerable Numinous Treasure was like a mouse that saw a cat. His arrogance instantly vanished into thin air.
"Al …. Fine."
Ye Zichen felt like everything was too surreal. He couldn't quite believe it.
After receiving Ye Zichen's approval, the Venerable Numinous Treasure turned to Xuan-Yuan Xiang. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"You should've done this from the start. Why did you go out of your way to find me?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The Venerable Numinous Treasure smiled apologetically, then glared at Ye Zichen. "Alliance Head Ye, this is your fault. If you'd said you were with Big Sister Xiang earlier, I would've …."
"Hm?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang narrowed her eyes.
"It's all my fault." The Venerable Numinous Treasure smiled bitterly.
"Hmph!"
Xuan-Yuan Xiang snorted, then dragged Ye Zichen away. "From now on, this kid can order Numinous Treasure around as he pleases. Let's not hang out with a little yao like him. He'll lower our standards."
A little yao!
Just the aura the Venerable Numinous Treasure had released was enough to overwhelm even the Yao Emperor Taiyi.
He was a little yao!
Who in the demon race would dare to call themselves a Great Demon!
However, the Lord of Numinous Treasure didn't dare to say anything. He merely nodded and bowed as he watched Xuan-Yuan Xiang drag Ye Zichen out of the dungeon.
After leaving the dungeon, the Ocean Sovereign said that she had business to attend to, so she left.
Ye Zichen, who stood outside the dungeon, was unable to recover from his shock for a long time. He looked at the contact on his phone and thought about the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's attitude towards Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
"Sister Xiang."
"What happened?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang squinted her eyes, then reached out to grab Ye Zichen's ear. "You brat, how long has it been since you contacted me? You know to find me when you need me, but you don't even say anything when you don't need me."
"Sister Xiang, it hurts, it hurts …"
Ye Zichen cried out in pain. There was no way Xuan-Yuan Xiang would actually grab him, she knew very well that Ye Zichen was just pretending.
However, she still loosened her grip and hugged her shoulders as she snorted.
"You want to know why the Venerable of Lingbao is so afraid of me, right?"
Ye Zichen nodded. Xuan-Yuan Xiang continued, "In truth, it's actually quite simple. The Venerable of Lingbao has always been called a treasure-devouring maniac. His true form is that of a toad, but he can devour treasures to strengthen himself. Back then, he tried to devour me, but my magic power caused his body to explode. After that …. That's what you see now.
。”
Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
The Yellow Emperor was only five thousand years old. Naturally, he'd only obtained the Xuan-Yuan Sword about that long. The Venerable of Lingbao had been imprisoned by the Ocean Sovereign for ten thousand years. How did he ….
"By the time the Yellow Emperor obtained the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he was already the second generation."
"Sister Xiang, were you called Xuan-Yuan Xiang before?" asked Ye Zichen. "Of course not." Xuan-Yuan Xiang shrugged. "In truth, my memories of the first generation are rather hazy. I only remembered a little after you condensed a godhead for me. I vaguely recall that I was called Shangguan Xiang back then. In short, the Yellow Emperor was the one who gave me the name Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
Alright. If you want, I can start calling myself Ye Xiang from now on. "
"Let's not …."
"What? You're not happy that my surname is Ye?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang raised her eyebrows.
"That's not what I meant," Ye Zichen smiled wryly. "The Yellow Emperor is me, so there's no difference between Ye Xiang and Xuan-Yuan Xiang. It's just that this Venerable of Lingbao is a bit strange. There's actually someone who can rely on devouring treasures to increase his cultivation? "
"He's just a toad with good luck. Don't interact too much with him. He'll lower our level," Xuan-Yuan Xiang twitched her mouth.
Ye Zichen was speechless.
Perhaps only Xuan-Yuan Xiang could call the Venerable of Lingbao a toad so casually!
Ye Zichen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, you can't be thinking of recruiting him, right?" Xuan-Yuan Xiang immediately saw through Ye Zichen's plan.
"Hehe, I do. Can you help me out?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.
Although Xuan-Yuan Xiang slandered the Venerable of Lingbao, there was one undeniable fact: his cultivation was terrifyingly high.
He'd been imprisoned for ten thousand years, which meant there was a ten-thousand-year gap.
If Ye Zichen recruited him, he'd be no small help. In fact, he'd be of great help.
"Don't ask me for help. I don't want to be associated with a toad like him. Besides, are you sure the people around you will agree to take him under your command? "Xuan-Yuan Xiang asked.
"Why not?" Ye Zichen didn't understand.
"If you don't believe me, try contacting the great emperors. Bring up a toad and see what they think," shrugged Xuan-Yuan Xiang.
Ye Zichen didn't doubt her and opened the group chat. Coincidentally, as soon as he entered, he saw Great Emperor Bi 'an of the Four Directions Palace appear.
Lord Seven: But I've suffered so much. How are things on your side?
Lord Three: It ended long ago. I didn't want to hurt your confidence, so I didn't dare say anything.
Hermit Emperor: I'm done here too.
Jade Lake Palace Head: It ended three days ago. I'm sorry.
Lord Seven:??? Are you guys lying to me with your eyes wide open?
Jade Lake Palace Head: Ask your subordinates. Don't tell me you didn't plant people in our Divine Mountains.
Lord Seven: Heh heh …..
When Ye Zichen saw Bi 'an's silly grin, he knew the Jade Lake Palace Head was telling the truth. She'd sent the message less than ten breaths ago.
Lord Seven: It's really my place that's the slowest. No way!
Invincible Adorable Beauty: The Northern Divine Mountain isn't finished yet. The Ocean Emperor just said he had business to attend to.
Lord of the Big Dipper: Only Idealism
Lord of the Big Dipper: You've reached the Northern Divine Mountain. How's the situation? Zichen, are you alright? Are you injured?
Only Idealism: I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry about me.
As soon as the message was sent, the great emperors in the group went berserk, mocking Ocean Emperor Fenghai for his lack of efficiency and management problems. They wanted him to hurry up and clear the Northern Divine Mountain so they could manage it for him.
Ye Zichen looked at the scrolling messages and couldn't help but scratch his head. He hesitated for a moment …..
Only Idealism: I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
Lord Seven: Emperor Star, do you even need to discuss anything with us? Just say whatever you want!
Lord Three: Now that your mother is in charge of the Star Altar, I feel so wronged as an emperor.
Jade Lake Palace Head: My daughter's life is in your hands. What's there to discuss? Just decide.
Hermit Emperor: I have no objections.
Only Idealism: I …. Do you know the Venerable of Numinous Treasure?
Silence.
After a brief moment of silence …..
Lord Seven: Numinous Treasure? That bastard popped out of nowhere? Only Idealism, you saw him? Tell me where he is. I'm going to kill him!
Lord Three: Count me in.
Jade Lake Palace Head: Count me in! (Furious, furious, furious)
Fox Empress:??? Send your coordinates!
As Ye Zichen read the messages, he …..
