"Yes! It's an incredible honor to join the Tianyi Sect. You'll see how right this path is in the future, so join us now!"

Du Zhong was nothing like a sect leader; he was more like a pyramid scheme swindler, trying even harder to persuade Fang Ruotang herself.

"Ha! Tout."

Ancestor Murong immediately revealed Du Zhong's identity.

Having lived for thousands of years, what kind of scams haven't I seen?

This is similar to when he bids at an auction house, and the auction house hires someone to deliberately inflate the price, creating the impression that the treasure is very popular.

He won't fall for it.

Considering he's reached this level and is already the patriarch of his family, he must be crazy to want to merge with another sect and start all over again.

What, you like being someone's underling?

Being a subordinate for a thousand years is not enough; one must even bring the entire clan along.

Does he have a serious illness?

In a flash, Ancestor Murong thought the matter through in his mind and then coldly refused. Ancestor Yan Yun did the same.

Fang Ruotang shrugged, not pressuring him.

Anyway, it's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; it's only a matter of time, just like in Medicine King Valley.

And the Qin and Lu families of Mengxi City are now practically no different from the affiliated families of Tianyi Sect.

Otherwise, why would the sect's teleportation array have a formation that directly connects to the Qin and Lu families? It's precisely for the sake of making communication between them more convenient.

If these two stay by her side for a long time, they will naturally want to join her sect. Who can refuse the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao?

Fang Ruotang was quite engrossed in her role, and casually remarked, "By the way, Yun Ni, the chief disciple of your Cloud Sword Sect, I met her when I first arrived in the Cloud Deep Continent. I originally wanted to follow her and collect the spiritual roots from her..."

Fang Ruotang spoke her mind, recounting what had happened to Yun Ni and explaining why she had killed Yao Guang Zhenren.

It was only because Master Yaoguang wanted to seize Yunni's spiritual root that Fang Ruotang happened to encounter her while chasing after her, and Yunni then offered up her own spiritual root, so Fang Ruotang acted as a chivalrous hero.

In the end, he hesitated and didn't remove Yun Ni's spiritual root. After all, taking Yao Guang Zhenren's root bone when he killed him wasn't a losing proposition.

"I can't believe it."

When Ancestor Yan Yun emerged from seclusion, he went to fight Ancestor Murong. He didn't even bother to visit the sect. The sect disciples were unaware that he had emerged from seclusion.

Ancestor Yan Yun knew of Yao Guang, but not of Yun Ni, but that didn't stop him from getting angry at a dead man.

This is even more evil than a heretical cultivator. He actually attacked his own personal disciple. What kind of person would do that?

“That’s right! Since you don’t care about the sect’s affairs anyway, and the other people in the sect can’t manage things well either, they’ve just become a bunch of rabble, so you might as well just join my Tianyi Sect. But my Tianyi Sect doesn’t accept trash, we don’t want anyone with bad character.”

Ancestor Yan Yun hesitated.

He felt that Fang Ruotang's words made some sense.

Although he founded the Cloud Sword Sect, he did not covet power. Back then, he was only trying to find something to do to keep himself from being immersed in pain after being injured by Murong.

Rather than keeping this sect around and taking in some trash, it would be better to use it to negotiate a deal with Fang Ruotang.

He made a decision immediately, "Alright, I agree to lead the Cloud Sword Sect to join your Heavenly One Sect, but I have one condition."

"I'm already being kind by taking you in. Don't forget, you'd be dead without me. And you're trying to negotiate with me?"

Pretending that Fang Ruotang hadn't spoken, Ancestor Yan Yun continued, "I also want to become the Supreme Elder of the Tianyi Sect. Don't say it's not possible. Once I join the Tianyi Sect, all the resources of our Yunjian Sect will be transferred to your Tianyi Sect. After all, if I break through my realm, I will be one of the few Mahayana cultivators in the Yun Shen Continent. I think my status is qualified, right?"

“Okay!” Fang Ruotang agreed immediately.

For Fang Ruotang, the appointment of this elder was merely a matter of a word, and just as Ancestor Yan Yun had said, he, a cultivator about to enter the Mahayana stage, was indeed qualified.

Murong glanced at Yan Yun but did not stop him.

He understood Yan Yun's character. If he valued Yun Jian Sect even a little, he wouldn't have never bothered to learn about the sect's affairs, and he wouldn't have kept the current Yun Jian Sect Master from informing him of anything.

"...I'm afraid they won't agree," Murong kindly reminded them.

If authority is delegated for too long, it will be difficult to regain control.

Even though he founded the Cloud Sword Sect.

"I am but a mere Mahayana cultivator. Do I care about their opinions? Are their lives harder than my fists?"

Murong: ...

You get into the zone very quickly.

"Is this breakthrough guaranteed to be successful?"

"What do you mean?"

Ancestor Yan Yun wanted to fight Murong at the slightest disagreement.

"You want me dead?"

"No!"

Murong hurriedly retorted.

I've never heard of anyone helping others break through their cultivation level before. Could it be that she has some powerful magic weapon that can withstand the heavenly tribulation?

Murong thought of this and asked directly.

Fang Ruotang spread her hands again, "No need to say so much. Just give me all the rewards, and then stop using the magic treasures that suppress your cultivation. I can help you break through your realm right now."

Ancestor Yan Yun and Ancestor Murong were cautious. Without even glancing at each other, they tacitly said, "Not for now. Let's wait until we've recovered from our injuries."

Fang Ruotang pursed her lips, clearly realizing that these two people didn't believe her.

"Alright! Then you guys follow me! We'll talk about breaking through whenever you want." Fang Ruotang acted as if breaking through a realm was as easy as drinking water.
