However, to the utter surprise of these villains, their wishful thinking completely failed. They never imagined that Yuan Zhexian and his group would be so powerful.

With the sheer strength of Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, and others, they easily suppressed and annihilated all the invading enemies.

After a series of thrilling battles, corpses lay scattered on the ground, their blood staining the earth, a truly gruesome sight.

Just then, the group arrived at the edge of a quiet stream. The babbling water sounded clear and melodious, as if nature was softly singing a tranquil melody.

Everyone felt a bit tired, so they decided to rest there for a while.

They all found a comfortable place to sit down, either leaning against the boulder or sitting on the soft grass.

However, just as everyone was preparing to relax, suddenly, several exceptionally powerful auras came from afar. These auras surged like a raging torrent, causing everyone to become wary.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure rushing toward them at an extremely fast speed.

As they got closer, they could see that the man was a handsome man, but he was covered in wounds of all sizes, and his clothes were stained with blood. He looked extremely disheveled.

Yuan Zhexian stared at the rapidly approaching figure, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

As the figure drew closer, Yuan Zhexian finally recognized him and blurted out, "Yu Bai, the first-ranked Tai'a of the Tai'a clan, how could he have fallen into such a state?"

Having said that, he flashed and appeared in front of Tai'a Yu Bai like a ghost.

Tai'a Yu Bai, who was focused solely on flying at high speed, suddenly realized that there was someone out of nowhere in front of him.

What terrified him even more was the terrifying aura emanating from this person, like an insurmountable mountain blocking his way.

In an instant, Tai'a Yu Bai's face turned ashen.

However, when he looked closely and realized that the person who came was Yuan Zhexian, his face first showed a look of astonishment, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

He quickly stopped, landed firmly on his feet, and then respectfully bowed to Yuan Zhexian, saying, "Greetings, Yuan Shenzi."

Yuan Zhexian looked at the once-glorious Tai'a Yu Bai with the same suspicion, frowned and asked, "What exactly happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

Tai'a Yu Bai sighed softly and said slowly, "Alas... After I stepped into the sixth level, by sheer chance, I obtained an extremely rare and precious Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill."

"This should have been a great blessing for me, but who would have thought that some people with ulterior motives would find out about it."

"They spread the news without hesitation, making it known to everyone."

He paused, then continued with a bitter expression, "Immediately afterwards, all the powerful experts at the eighth and ninth levels of the Great Saint Realm on the entire sixth floor wanted to kill me as soon as possible, just to obtain that Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill."

"If there are only one or two Great Saint Realm experts, I am naturally not afraid with my strength."

"But the problem is that there are now more than a dozen terrifying experts at the ninth level of the Great Saint Realm relentlessly pursuing me. Two fists can't fight four hands. No matter how powerful I am, I can hardly withstand the siege of so many people."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately understood the reason and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "I see."

"This Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill can increase the chances of a ninth-level Great Saint Realm expert advancing to the Saint Realm by a full 60%."

"With such miraculous effects and such an incomparably precious elixir, it's no wonder that so many people are flocking to it and relentlessly hunting you down."

At this moment, Tai'a Yu Bai seemed to suddenly remember something important and hurriedly said, "Yuan Shenzi, if you are willing to help me get rid of these guys who are chasing me, then I am willing to hand over this Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill to you!"

However, Yuan Zhexian merely smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said calmly, "Hehe, what use is your elixir to me?"

Upon hearing this, Tai'a Yu Bai was stunned. His face was filled with astonishment, and he stood there speechless for a long time, his mouth agape: "Ah! This..."

Yuan Zhexian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and slowly spoke again: "However, since you possess a demonic body, you can still barely be my follower."

As he spoke, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Yuan Zhexian's deep, abyss-like eyes, clearly showing his keen interest in Tai'a Yubai, a person with a demonic body.

It should be noted that people with special physical constitutions are already rare, and those with a powerful demonic body like Tai'a Yu Bai are even rarer.

In that instant, a feeling of admiration for talent welled up in his heart, and he extended an olive branch to the other party without hesitation.

Tai'a Yu Bai has always been a proud and arrogant person. He knows that although his demonic body is not one of the top ten physiques in the world, it is second only to them.

If he were in another era, with his unique physical advantages, he would surely have become a great emperor, revered by all.

However, upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's invitation to recruit him, Tai'a Yu Bai was completely stunned.

His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, as if he had never expected this to happen.

Immediately afterwards, he fell into deep hesitation.

Tai'a Yu Bai slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, and the others standing to the side.

Looking at these people who also possess extraordinary physiques and have chosen to submit to Yuan Zhexian, he secretly pondered: "These innate holy bodies, Dao embryos, reincarnation bodies, and void bodies are all powerful physiques that are rare in the world. Even they are willing to submit to the feet of the Yuan clan's divine son."

"Then, if I, a being with a demonic body who is only slightly inferior, choose to submit to him, I suppose it won't draw too much criticism..."

Thinking of this, Tai'a Yu Bai's mind calmed down a little.

Then, he continued to mutter to himself, "Moreover, this Yuan Clan's divine son is not only terrifyingly powerful, but his talent and genius are also unparalleled throughout the ages!"

"If we could truly follow such an extraordinary figure, perhaps we would have the chance to ascend together to the legendary pinnacle of the Great Dao someday!"

"Furthermore, he is engaged to the goddess of our tribe. When that time comes, won't he be the true son-in-law of our Tai'a tribe?"

"In that case, both publicly and privately, following him wouldn't be a bad decision..."
