A fleeting moment of brilliance,

The sword intent, like a silver river hanging upside down, dissipated, along with the ten thousand lotuses that Xiao Xuanbei had gathered.

A draw!

Seeing the final result, everyone was shocked – it was a draw!

Although Xiao Xuanbei did not use his full strength in this attack, its terrifying power was enough to easily kill a mid-stage Great Saint Realm expert.

To be able to fight Xiao Xuanbei to a draw with this move, his cultivation level must be at least at the peak of the Great Sage realm.

He... is only in his early twenties and he's already at the peak of the Great Sage realm? That's... a bit too outrageous!

Looking across the entire Great Luo Heaven Domain, whose young man could reach the peak of the Great Sage at the age of just over twenty?

That's incredible!

Xiao Xuanbei looked at Ye Hao with surprise in his eyes. Compared to the others, he knew better that he hadn't used his full strength in the previous exchange, and neither had Ye Hao!

Not the peak of the Great Sage!

Quasi-Emperor!

Ye Hao is definitely a quasi-emperor. Such a young quasi-emperor is as amazing as those emperors who have suppressed several eras and lived through countless lifetimes.

In an instant, Xiao Xuanbei's expression kept changing. Ye Hao had such terrifying cultivation at such a young age. What kind of terrifying existence must his master be?

Hiss!

Thinking it over, Xiao Xuanbei considered the matter carefully. Putting aside Ye Hao's lineage, just considering Ye Hao's cultivation level, it was really unnecessary to take someone to the point of no return.

Of course, even if it were a fight to the death, the Xiao family wouldn't be afraid, as the Xiao family's foundation is far beyond what the world can see.

However... we're far from being at each other's throats yet; it's always better to have more friends than one enemy.

And so.

Xiao Xuanbei smiled broadly, "Young brother, your cultivation is truly remarkable."

Although I am a member of the family, I don't handle everything. It was indeed the Xiao family's fault.

To be honest, I really admire you, young man. If you'd like, I'd like to treat you to a simple meal. If you still have grievances, feel free to take action; I'll take responsibility and let you vent your anger!

The Xiao family members: ? ? ?

How did the plot suddenly turn out like this? Something seems... off!

The other powerful figures who were paying attention to the Xiao family's affairs: "..."

That shameless old man is really... ugh, shameless!

now,

Ye Hao roughly understood what Xiao Xuanbei meant; he had come to cut off the Xiao family's series of troubles.

The two sides haven't really reached the point of no return. Since they've offered a way out, it's best to accept it.

Most importantly, after entering the Xiao family, Ye Hao sensed a powerful will within the family. That... should be the will of an emperor, left behind by the Xiao family's former emperor.

It's impossible for him to destroy the Xiao family on his own. Making a scene at the Xiao family won't do him any good.

Although I have my own master with me and I have nothing to fear, it's best not to bother my master with such a small matter.

Furthermore, if possible, having one less enemy, especially a very powerful one, is never a bad thing.

"Not at all, it's really just a small matter. Since the Xiao family has said so, let's leave it at that!" Ye Hao replied calmly.

Upon hearing this,

Xiao Xuanbei's smile widened even more. "Great! I knew you were no ordinary man, you're a fine young man. I'm a few years older than you, but if you don't mind, you can call me 'brother'."

"Brother Xiao!" Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Brother Ye!"

In an instant, the two went from being at each other's throats to having their arms around each other's shoulders.

They call each other "brother" and "older brother," and it feels even closer than if they were blood brothers!

Oh my god!

Everyone was truly caught off guard; the change came too suddenly.

The Xiao family members: ~!

The head of the family seems to be disregarding his status!

Powerful figures outside the Xiao family: !

Damn it!

That old bastard Xiao is truly shameless!

However, they did not think that Xiao Xuanbei was lowering his status. On the contrary, they were somewhat jealous. Bringing such a young Great Saint peak expert to their camp was a great help!

In the future, he will most likely reach the Great Emperor realm. No! If there are no unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely reach the Great Emperor realm, suppress an era, or even become a Heavenly Emperor who amazes one era after another!

Furthermore, at such a young age, to have reached such a level of cultivation, what kind of master is he?

Perhaps it is a great emperor hidden in the shadows, who has escaped the erosion of time!

grass!

This shameless old man, what should have been a calamity, was averted by his shamelessness, and might even turn into a stroke of good fortune!

no!

We can't just stand by and watch; we have to think of a way, we must show goodwill, and we must be sincere enough.

Um!

That's how we should do it! At the very least, we should create a positive connection!

Next,

Ye Hao stayed at the Xiao family for a few days, and Xiao Xuanbei naturally treated him with great hospitality. Of course, he also asked Ye Hao about his master's lineage, though he asked the questions rather tactfully.

Ye Hao naturally dismissed the question with a single sentence, but instead subtly inquired about the Great Emperor's will.

Xiao Xuanbei's expression froze slightly for a moment, then he laughed it off and let the matter pass.

After that, the two tacitly agreed not to ask each other any more questions, and just talked about trivial things, calling each other "brother" and "older brother" repeatedly. Anyone who saw them would have to say that they were definitely good brothers.

During their stay at the Xiao family's residence, other top-tier powers naturally also arrived.

They all showed closeness to Ye Hao, calling him "brother" without hesitation, and giving him generous gifts.

Xiao Xuanbei: "...!"

That was too hasty!

I knew these bastards would do this; they didn't give my brother a proper greeting gift!

These shameless people are really willing to spend a fortune!

Damn it!

Do you think you can embarrass me on my own turf?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

So, Xiao Xuanbei naturally presented a supreme treasure, which shocked the others. They couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This bastard is really inhuman! He doesn't even leave us any face?! Damn it! Everyone has something powerful."

Then, one treasure after another was presented to Ye Hao, with everyone vying with each other.

Ye Hao: "!"

!

This is the scroll Master was talking about?! Wow, it's really great! Scroll away! Scroll away as much as you can! The more you scroll, the more fun I get in getting the treasures!

However, seeing that they were getting increasingly carried away, Ye Hao quickly interrupted. This was enough; his persuasion was clearly within their acceptable range. If he managed to stop them, they would thank him. If he let them continue giving gifts like this, they might not show it outwardly, but they would definitely have complaints in their hearts. It was time to stop while they were ahead. This wasn't a one-off deal, so there had to be limits. You can't fleece them all at once!

If you manage to persuade them, you're undoubtedly the biggest winner!

In short, awesome!

...

During this period

The Lower Heaven Domain was far from peaceful. Those upper classes who had previously harbored hatred towards Ye Hao, seeing that he had not yet returned, had already started causing trouble, intending to destroy the Jie Sect.
