In no time, Belle was knocked unconscious and stuffed into a sack!

Two burlap sacks were laid out, and Ye Buxiu handed them to Nie Li.

"This is the handwritten code we used in our negotiations with Ziyu Valley!"

The group continued their conversation inside.

Nie Li informed them of the current situation.

Although Ziyu Valley is large, it cannot be wiped out all at once. There are countless organizations under their command. If Ziyu Valley is suddenly destroyed, these forces can regroup and form a new organization!

To pacify this small island, we must unify their thoughts.

However, the two most powerful and influential forces have now solidified their ideologies, making it difficult to poach people from them.

Moreover, both elves have made it clear that they will not participate in the battles between humans and immortals!

Even if you combine Dan Ding Valley and all the smaller forces that have attached themselves to it, it can only be considered a mid-tier power at best.

Why would someone with great power voluntarily request to join a power inferior to themselves?

Even if the other party is very strong, this is still a matter of face!

"We can force them to submit through battle!"

Ye Buxiu suggested.

"Instead of wiping out the people of Ziyu Valley and Taixu Sect, we can simply let them see our strength through battles, and those wavering little forces might then come to our aid!"

Nie Li thought for a moment and said.

"This is a poor strategy. Any battle will inevitably result in casualties, which is extremely disadvantageous for both us and the Immortal Realm!"

There's no way to quickly raise the level of my sect right now!

Nie Li was troubled.

"Valley Master, the Sect Master of the Free and Unfettered Sect requests an audience."

The Free and Unfettered Sect?

Nie Li's eyes lit up!

The Free and Unfettered Sect is a great sect that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day!

The foundation of these sects is in no way inferior to those top forces like the Purple Imperial Valley and the Taixu Sect!

"Please come over here quickly!"

Nie Li, Ye Buxiu, and the two elves went to greet them!

In the reception hall of Dan Ding Valley, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sat majestically in place, while a woman dressed in bright clothes served him from behind.

"Xiaoyaozi, what brings you here!"

Nie Li recognized this person as Xiaoyaozi, an old friend with whom he had previously interacted.

The little girl behind him is his granddaughter.

It is named Xiaoyao Jin.

Despite her young age, she has mastered excellent kung fu skills and even created her own unique move: "Under the Flowers and Moon".

It has been listed as an inner sect secret technique by the Xiaoyao Sect.

At such a young age, he is already able to assume the position of elder of the Xiaoyao Sect!

"Haha, you old scoundrel, you still have the nerve to talk back to me!"

Xiaoyaozi laughed loudly when he saw Nie Li.

"Your sect actually has a prodigy hidden within it!"

"evildoer!?"

Nie Li did not understand what he meant.

"I heard everything from my left wrist!"

"What's going on with Hua An from your sect?!"

Xiaoyaozi looked like he was there to interrogate him.

"Ah, this one, he's one of our disciples."

"What happened to him and his left wrist?"

Nie Li was unaware of what had happened to Ye Buxiu in the Spirit Realm.

He asked.

"Hahaha, you're still pretending to be confused with me!"

"Alright, thank you so much for your junior, otherwise my left wrist wouldn't have been able to come back safely!"

"That junior from your sect saved Zuo Wan and his team's lives!"

"I've come here to thank you!"

Xiaoyaozi laughed heartily.

Nie Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's no secret. This is Hua An, a junior member of our sect."

Nie Li pointed to Ye Buxiu beside him and said.

"oh?"

Xiaoyaozi's deep eyes were fixed on the junior in front of him.

"Young man, come here!"

Ye Buxiu rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Xiaoyaozi grabbed Ye Buxiu's arm and examined him closely!

"Wow, what a great body!"

He channeled a stream of immortal power into Ye Buxiu's body.

As I prepared to move on to the next step of the exploration, I suddenly felt a force of resistance.

He looked surprised and secretly added his immortal power to continue the attack.

Ye Buxiu smiled, feeling as if Xiaoyaozi was giving him a massage!

It's so comfortable!

Xiaoyaozi was soon drenched in sweat, and his eyes showed more shock as he looked at Ye Buxiu.

Is this junior even human?

He used over a hundred years of cultivation to try and understand a junior, only to be rejected!

It seems that what Zuo Wan said was true!

This boy is truly a prodigy!

Nie Li couldn't tell that Xiaoyaozi was testing Ye Buxiu. Seeing his worried expression, he couldn't help but laugh!

How could someone as extraordinary as this senior be someone you could just try to spy on?

"Tsk tsk, that's not fair, bro!"

Knowing he couldn't figure it out, Xiaoyaozi simply gave up.

"How could your sect have a disciple with such strength?"

Nie Li smiled knowingly.

"Brother, just tell me straight! What's the purpose of your visit?"

"Ha ha."

"You've been found out!"

"It's obvious, isn't it! You're someone we can't even get a chance to see, how could you suddenly come looking for me!"

"I would never believe a simple thank you!"

When Xiaoyaozi realized that Nie Li had exposed his scheme, he simply decided not to play along.

"We've come here to discuss the merger with you!"

"merge?"

“That’s right. A few days ago, I was enjoying myself somewhere when the weather suddenly changed, which reminded me of what my master once told me!”

"At that time, he told me that the Xiaoyao Sect would face a great calamity in a hundred years and ordered me to observe the clouds and act accordingly."
