Heavenly Demon Sect, Headquarters
In the murky, dark pool of blood, a pair of gauntlets bobbed and sank.
As endless blood energy was poured in, the once shiny and new gauntlets began to be stained black.
"If I transform the Iron Blood Gauntlets into my own Blood Demon Gauntlets, my strength will increase by at least a third... It's a pity that that old bastard Tian Jue refuses to share the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm. If I could obtain the Primordial Golden Spirit Fruit and cultivate the Primordial Golden Body, that would be perfect!"
However, aside from sect specialties, the most valuable items are spirit-summoning magical treasures. Obtaining the Iron Blood Gauntlets would already be a huge profit.
If he wants to take it all, he'll have to defeat the Hunyuan Sect all by himself.
In reality, the rapid conquest of the Hunyuan Sect was mainly due to Tian Juezi's two hundred years of instigation and manipulation, coupled with the cooperation of the two, which allowed them to easily defeat the Hunyuan Ancestor.
Simply by mobilizing the sect's cultivators and adding a divine avatar, one can obtain a magical artifact for free.
Such a business opportunity is so rare, it might only come once in a thousand years. What more could one ask for?
Once the legacy of the Hunyuan Sect is fully digested, the third place among these ten sects will likely be decided between the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Sword.
"Hahaha..."
Wild laughter echoed through the cave, and even the blood pool seemed to boil...
Just then, a message flew in, but was blocked by the outer formation.
The Blood Demon Venerable summoned the talisman, glanced at it briefly, and then frowned.
"A mere Luoshui Sect... how dare they? Even the Jade Demon has disappeared without a trace..."
Now is the time for him to refine the Blood Demon Gauntlets, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.
Thinking of this, the Blood Demon Venerable immediately sent an order to the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.
"Have Cheng Quan of Hunyuan Peak arrange for someone to handle this. Luoshui Sect was originally under their jurisdiction... He should be able to handle this matter well!"
A Hunyuan disciple who defected to the Heavenly Demon Sect established his own peak within the sect...
Of course, this was temporary; many people were coerced into joining the rebellion without even knowing what was happening.
If we were to scatter the people now, it might cause some trouble.
This is the crucial moment for the Blood Demon Venerable to refine his fist, so stability is of course the most important thing!
As the Heavenly Demon Sect finalized its response plan and began swiftly arranging the flying boats and personnel,
Ye Feng has already embarked on his journey home.
Controlling two flying boats at once, the other of which was a low-grade spiritual treasure, significantly slowed down the return journey.
Medium-grade items are for storing people, low-grade items are for storing spiritual veins.
He used a level-five array to firmly lock up the ten-kilometer-long spiritual vein and put the whole thing into the flying boat cabin.
This time it took three hours to walk back.
Before even arriving at the Qingluo Mine, Ye Feng could already see the crowd standing in front of the mine in the distance.
Xiao Xuan, Yang Dan, and hundreds of Yunxia Mountain disciples, as well as... Li Qinghe, whose appearance had changed through the small sword.
Ye Feng felt uneasy when he saw Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe's gaze turned complex as she watched the flying ship approaching like a giant dragon.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and removed the Great Sage Set.
What's meant to be will be; if it's meant to be, you can't escape it!
With a step forward, his figure reappeared, now standing before Li Qinghe and the others.
"Why are you here?"
"Everyone knows how dangerous Lizong is, how could we let you fight alone!"
Without even asking, it was Xiao Xuan who said it. Yang Dan and the other low-level cultivators who had never even been to the Luoshui Sect, how could they know anything about danger?
"Sect Master, establishing a sect is the responsibility of all disciples. We cannot let you fight alone!"
After Yang Dan finished speaking, he knelt on one knee, and all the hundred people behind him knelt down in imitation.
"We swear to follow our sect leader to the death!"
"We swear to live and die with our sect!"
Okay, okay, give me that approach!
His original intention was simply to give the Penglai disciples in the Upper Sect some confidence.
Furthermore, the Obsidian Demon Prince's actions, which he shouldn't have done, forced him to intervene.
As a result, Yang Dan turned it into a hot-blooded anime.
But seeing that Yang Dan was also very enthusiastic, he couldn't bring himself to reprimand her.
"Okay! Let's go together!"
Time is of the essence; we need to set up an array and accommodate the Black Cloud Sect members... Now that Yang Dan and the others have joined, it's even more difficult to arrange things.
We can only keep the Black Cloud Sect members locked up for the time being.
Although Ye Feng didn't offer much encouragement, just that one sentence was enough to get all the Yunxia disciples excited.
Ninety-nine percent of the people here have never seen this sect leader before.
...Of course, he is currently also in the appearance of "Han Li".
But simply confirming his existence was enough to excite everyone.
Not only are they exceptionally brave and skilled, but they will also lead them to establish a superior sect!
"Half of the people in Yunxia Market are still packing up their belongings. They won't be able to recognize the spirit treasure flying boat you left behind as their master for the time being..."
As Xiao Xuan spoke, she turned her gaze to Li Qinghe.
They were all brought by Li Qinghe this time...
Even now, Li Qinghe hasn't glanced at him once; her gaze remains fixed on the flying boat anchored in the distance.
"Um... well..."
"I only ask you, are my disciple and Daoist partner still alive?"
"Yes, of course I'm here, it's always been me..."
Li Qinghe's expression softened slightly, her eyes fixed on Ye Feng.
"Whether you're a reincarnation or someone who has possessed another body, I will only acknowledge him! I'll help you now, and I'll listen to your explanation after this is all over!"
After saying that, Li Qinghe steered her flying sword directly towards Yunxia Market.
Xiao Xuan walked to Ye Feng's side, looked at the sword light, and sighed.
"Sigh... I couldn't accept it either! At night he's still a Qi Refining baby, and the next morning he's almost a sect patriarch... Who could believe that!"
If Ye Feng hadn't been with her since the Purple Edge Secret Realm, and they hadn't often discussed cultivation, and he hadn't frequently asked her for general knowledge...
She couldn't believe it either.
"Alright, you don't need to laugh at me anymore. You brought these people to me, so you're in charge of making arrangements."
"Now I am Han Li, so you don't need to seal your cultivation anymore. As for stealing the sword and the wife, it won't be long before the Heavenly Sword Sect comes looking for you anyway..."
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Xiao Xuan kicked him, her lips pursed.
"If you ever bring this up again... I'll beat your child!"
Ye Feng touched his nose, glanced at the disciples behind him who were half stunned and half snickering, and could only apologize.
For a man, this is an honor.
For Xiao Xuan, however, it was quite a blow.
Ye Feng had already informed Xiao Xuan about the Black Cloud Sect cultivators through telepathy.
Time is of the essence.
Now that Ye Feng has included the Heavenly Sword Sect in his calculations, Xiao Xuan no longer needs to conceal her cultivation level.
The two quickly ascended into the air, scanning their surroundings.
Ultimately, a large mountain thirty miles in front of the mine was chosen as the main ridgeline, where the core formation was set up.
Only by first surrounding this area can Ye Feng feel at ease letting the Black Cloud Sect members out.
———
On Qingyun Mountain,
An invisible light screen flashed by, and the original level three mountain-protecting formation was replaced by a level five formation.
The array plates Ye Feng provided were all very simple to set up, so it wasn't too difficult. Qing Song Zhenren himself was barely equivalent to a level three array master, and it took him some time to set up the array.
If one wants to control and resist the Nascent Soul stage, then the Grand Ancestor will have to step in.
"This kid... I didn't even realize it before... that he's the ninth seat of the Penglai Immortal Sect?"
"Given the current situation... is Penglai Immortal Sect considered a subordinate of Qingyun Sect? Or has Ye Feng already left the sect?"
"I ask you with a puzzled look,"
In the cultivation world of Tiannan, a sect's talented disciple would naturally not be let go so easily.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one will swear an oath of loyalty to the sect and leave behind a soul tablet.
This soul tablet serves both as a means for the sect to monitor the life status of its disciples and as a tool for the sect to control them.
Upon hearing Master Muxue's words, Qingsong gave a wry smile.
"This kid didn't even enter the Ancestral Hall!"
Master Muxue's eyes widened; this...
Qingsong had only told Li Qinghe about Ye Feng's desire to leave and establish his own sect, originally intending to use this to keep him there, but now...
The Great Gentleman waved his hand.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now, Qingsong, you should focus on refining the flying boat. I'll temporarily hand over the sect's affairs to Muxue... Especially in the secret realm, when Liang Yuyan comes out, be sure to send me a message!"
"Also... let's send a message to Chunyang Palace!"
