"The Salu-Pearl, an imperial artifact of the Yourong Clan!"

"I knew it. Even if someone else is missing, there will still be Rong's women."

The lords of the holy lands stared at the two people in the sky with grim expressions. The combination of an eighth-order Reincarnation Realm cultivator and an Emperor-level weapon was enough to crush any of them. If the Rong Clan wanted to take them away, none of them could compete with them.

"The two fellow Daoists of the You Rong clan have a heavy karmic burden in recruiting the Divine Yang Body. They should obtain it by fate. If we go against their wishes, I'm afraid we will not get a good result. I hope you two will not force it."

Knowing he couldn't win, Chi Tianhao immediately started arguing about cause and effect.

These words were immediately echoed by the holy masters. At their level, nothing could make their opponents hesitate to act more than the power of cause and effect.

You Rong Xuanqing put the Salo Pearl in his palm and flashed over to Ye Chen's side with You Rong Mingxia. He said in a low voice, "You may recruit him as you please, but I must warn you that whoever succeeds in recruiting him and provides him with protection will become the mortal enemy of the You Rong clan."

"I do not speak falsely. Whether someone is stronger or weaker than the Rong family, anyone who is on good terms with them is an enemy of the Rong family!"

You Rongxuanqing spoke softly, but his words carried great weight, causing all the holy masters to feel a chill run down their spines.

The words of a sage are subject to cause and effect, and they usually do not speak too harshly. However, You Rong Xuanqing spoke such heavy words to them at the same time, even raising it to the level of power. The consequences are very serious, meaning that if either side successfully recruits Ye Chen, it may lead to a situation of life and death with the You Rong clan.

The holy lords immediately became serious. This was no longer a personal matter, and they could not afford to be careless.

However, they did not back down. Everything involves risks, especially something as significant as recruiting a Divine Yang Body, which could affect the future of their own power.

As long as it is confirmed that Ye Chen truly possesses the Divine Sun Body and can be successfully recruited, they will not hesitate to offend the You Rong Clan!

At that moment, a Saint Lord of the Life and Death Realm came to Ye Chen's side, gently placed a hand on Ye Chen's shoulder, and after carefully examining him, he said with a gleam in his eyes, "It is indeed the Divine Sun Body."

Upon hearing this, three more holy lords stepped forward to investigate, and they quickly reached the same conclusion.

In an instant, all the Saint Lord-level figures looked at Ye Chen with fervent eyes.

"Young friend Ye Chen, I am Nangong Ming, the sect master of the Emperor Sword Sect. Would you be willing to join my sect? If you are willing to join my sect, I can take you as my closed-door disciple, impart all my knowledge to you, and use the greatest resources to cultivate you, guaranteeing that you will easily attain the Great Emperor realm!"

The sect leader of the Emperor Sword Sect, Nangong Ming, earnestly recruited Ye Chen.

"Thank you for your high regard, senior. I will consider it carefully."

Ye Chen did not rush to give an answer.

Next, all the other holy land-level forces present extended olive branches to Ye Chen, offering incredibly tempting conditions. This made Ye Xiuwen and the Holy Lord of Cangming Holy Land as anxious as ants on a hot pan, fearing that Ye Chen would be swayed by these alluring forces.

Fortunately, Ye Chen did not agree to anyone's request from beginning to end, which gave the two of them a temporary sense of relief.

In fact, when Ye Chen saw that none of them dared to confront You Rongxuanqing head-on, he had already eliminated them from his options.

He was looking for a protector to safeguard him. If he couldn't stand up to You Rong Xuanqing, what use would he be? He'd probably be sent to his grave by You Rong Xuanqing before he even left the Yingyue Sect.

Seeing Ye Chen's attitude, the Holy Lords were secretly anxious. Although Ye Chen did not explicitly refuse, it was no different from a refusal. Clearly, none of their families had been favored by Ye Chen.

Chi Tianhao was also anxious.

As his thoughts raced, he decided to settle for second best and first establish a good relationship with Ye Chen's current sect. So he approached Sikong Yan with a friendly smile: "Sect Master Sikong, your Yingyue Sect has cultivated a fine disciple. I have high hopes for your sect. I wonder if your Yingyue Sect would be willing to become an affiliated sect of my Tianchi Holy Land?"

"this……"

Sikong Yan was not in a position to make this decision, so he quickly looked to Yu Ling Shuang for help.

Yu Ling Shuang replied calmly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. Ye Chen is not a disciple of our sect. He comes from the Divine Firmament Sect. You should seek out Sect Master Yu Tian Yue of the Divine Firmament Sect."

Having distanced herself from Ye Chen, Yu Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten rid of this problem, and she didn't want others to misunderstand that Ying Yue Sect was on Ye Chen's side.

Upon hearing Yu Ling Shuang's words, all the Holy Lords turned their gazes intently to Yu Tian Yue, and in an instant, Yu Tian Yue became the most sought-after figure besides Ye Chen.

However, Yu Tianyue felt no relief whatsoever; instead, he felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, his whole body about to burst into flames.

Yu Tianyue's feelings were unknown to everyone. Seeing Yu Tianyue being won over by a group of holy masters, Chao Chong and other leaders of the top forces of the Great Gan were so jealous that their eyes turned red and they were so angry that they almost ground their teeth to powder. How could such immense wealth and honor fall on the head of the Shenxiao Sect?

"No, we need to think of another way."

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more involved, Chi Tianhao had to come up with other ideas, and now the only move he could make was Chi Yue.

Without delay, Chi Tianhao immediately pulled Chi Yue to Ye Chen and said with a friendly smile, "Young friend Ye, this is Chi Yue, the imperial daughter of my Heavenly Pool Holy Land. She possesses a third-grade imperial physique and an innate Dao body. I know that your Divine Yang Body needs to be combined with a woman of a special physique to evolve, so I wish to betroth Chi Yue to you. I wonder if you are interested?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Yang immediately became tense. Chi Yue was far superior to her in every aspect. If Ye Chen accepted Chi Yue, she feared that her position as the head of the harem would be in jeopardy.

Emperor-level physique?

Ye Chen was finally somewhat tempted, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked a question that had been bothering him for a while: "Senior Chi, do you know Chi Yuan?"

"Chi Yuan is my older brother."

Before Chi Tianhao could answer, Chi Yang spoke first.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Chi Yang, asking, "Is he your older brother?"

"good."

Chi Yang nodded in agreement, unaware that Ye Chen was the culprit who had crippled Chi Yuan's cultivation.

Ye Chen's expression turned strange. He had just suspected that Chi Tianhao and the other two were from the same clan as Chi Yuan, and he didn't expect it to be true.

This is quite interesting. He and Chi Yuan are locked in a life-or-death struggle, and the Chi family actually wants to marry their imperial daughter to him. I wonder what Chi Yuan's reaction would be if he found out.

"Meng'er, Yan'er, Yu Xiao."

Just then, three more people arrived at the Bibo Lake platform. Yunfeng spotted them immediately and went to greet them.

Upon seeing this, Yunlan Mountain, the Holy Master of Yunlan Holy Land, was delighted. He pointed to Yunmeng and, following the example, proposed to Ye Chen, saying, "Young friend Ye, this is one of my juniors, named Yunmeng. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also exceptionally talented. If you are interested in her, I can also betroth her to you."

"Yunlan Mountain, how dare you!"

Before Ye Chen could respond to Yun Lanshan's words, Feng Huai, who had come on behalf of the Tianfeng Clan, jumped up in anger.
