In a manor somewhere in the East Ocean.
Ye Kunlun descended from the sky carrying Han Qingmian. A man in white seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Upon seeing Ye Kunlun appear, he quickly put down his teacup and bowed to Ye Kunlun, "Little Nine greets the Young Master!"
"Mm, no need for formalities. First, find me a quiet room, my senior sister needs to rest!"
The man before him was none other than Jiun Wuchang, one of the Four Wuchangs of Wujian Prison.
"Young Master, please follow me!"
Little Nine asked no further questions. Before Ye Kunlun's arrival, Feng Tutu had already briefed him.
Not only Feng Tutu but also Blood Hand and Wuchang had briefed him.
It made him wish he could immediately return to Huaxia's side and meet Ye Kunlun, whom his three colleagues spoke of with not a single flaw and genuinely wished to serve.
Especially Blood Hand, he knew better than anyone how arrogant and untamed that fellow was.
Yet, Blood Hand had only returned to the capital a few days ago and was constantly messaging him, praising Ye Kunlun's virtues.
Incense to calm the nerves was burning in the quiet room; it was evident Little Nine had been very thoughtful.
After Ye Kunlun tucked Han Qingmian in, a golden needle hovered above her brow.
Traces of spiritual energy flowed into Han Qingmian's body through the golden needle.
The golden needle could calm the mind and also repair Han Qingmian's damaged body.
This display by Ye Kunlun, even if unintentional, filled Little Nine with admiration!
Having finished this, Ye Kunlun finally left the quiet room.
"It seems you no longer need the Spirit Breaking Pill!"
Leaving the quiet room and returning to the small courtyard, Ye Kunlun sized up Little Nine, the last of Wujian Prison's members he was meeting for the first time, and spoke indifferently.
"Young Master has sharp eyes. I broke through half a month ago."
Little Nine chuckled. Compared to the other three, he possessed more youthful vigor.
"There was nothing I could do. Wudao and Tutu both broke through and sent me messages every day. Your subordinate couldn't stand the stimulation."
Little Nine said, showing a wronged expression. "However, the Young Master's meeting gift can't be absent, right? I heard from Blood Hand that he received a Spirit Breaking Pill."
Speaking of which, a hint of cunning flashed in Little Nine's eyes as he slyly asked, "Young Master, do you have a Foundation Breaking Pill?"
Ye Kunlun was somewhat speechless.
The pill used to break through to the Spirit Opening realm could be called a Spirit Breaking Pill.
But the pill used to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm was definitely not called a Foundation Breaking Pill!
"Yes, but it's not called a Foundation Breaking Pill; it's called a Foundation Establishment Pill!" Ye Kunlun couldn't help but laugh, looking at Little Nine, who was trying to please him, and asked, "Do you want it?"
"Yes!"
Little Nine nodded eagerly. Who wouldn't want it?
"I'll give it to you later. First, tell me about the current situation of the Three Gods Society that you've grasped."
Ye Kunlun didn't have any Foundation Establishment Pills readily available; it would take time to refine them, and he didn't have the necessary medicinal ingredients on hand.
Upon receiving Ye Kunlun's promise, Little Nine was almost overjoyed.
"Young Master, the Three Gods Society is backed by the Osaka family and the Hidden lineage." Little Nine put away his earlier playful demeanor and adopted a serious expression.
"Mm, I know." Ye Kunlun replied.
"Ah? Young Master, you already know?" Little Nine was a bit confused. Wudao and Feng Tutu hadn't synchronized the news with him.
Ye Kunlun looked at Little Nine's expression and chuckled, "I only found out not long ago. Also, on my way here, I killed Osaka Shiota."
Little Nine showed surprise. He had naturally heard about the explosion at the First Combat Team of the Maritime Security Department where Osaka Shiota was located.
"Young Master, was the explosion at the First Combat Team caused by you?"
"Mm, I casually killed Osaka Shiota and then blew up their port!"
Ye Kunlun said it very casually.
Little Nine could imagine Ye Kunlun single-handedly infiltrating the East Ocean Maritime Security Department's First Combat Team. Just thinking about it made him feel as though he was about to burst into flames.
But even as he felt inspired, a worried look appeared on his face. "Young Master, Osaka Shiota is the eldest young master of the Osaka family, and his grandfather is an elder of the Hidden lineage. If you killed him, I fear it will draw the attention of the Hidden lineage."
"Oh, oh." Ye Kunlun feigned realization. "You mean his grandfather is called Osaka Shinichiro? It's nothing much. He couldn't even take a single strike from me. And, uh... before I came here, I decapitated him with one slash."
Little Nine blinked, and if these words weren't spoken by Ye Kunlun himself, he would have thought Ye Kunlun was bragging.
"Young Master, Osaka Shinichiro is an elder of the Hidden lineage. Are you sure you... decapitated him?"
Little Nine swallowed, looking at Ye Kunlun with disbelief.
If Blood Hand, Feng Tutu, and Wudao were here, they would have looked at Little Nine with disdain for his lack of worldly experience.
"His strength is not much greater than yours. Once I refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, your strength will definitely surpass his!"
Ye Kunlun said calmly, looking at the astonished Little Nine.
Little Nine took a deep breath, his worry not abating. He continued to Ye Kunlun, "Young Master, Osaka Shinichiro is just one of the twelve ordinary elders of the Hidden lineage. They also have four top elders..."
"Yes, I just fought with the Third Elder and the Second Elder." Ye Kunlun nodded.
Little Nine was surprised that Ye Kunlun had already exchanged blows with the elders on the opposing side. He swallowed and asked cautiously, "So... you didn't happen to kill these two elders as well, did you?"
"Mm, I killed them!" Ye Kunlun said with a calm expression. "One is an old virgin, and the other is a tentacle monster. Does the Hidden lineage have no normal people?"
Little Nine was completely dumbfounded. Ye Kunlun had apparently fought his way to the Hidden lineage's lair!
He even secretly felt fortunate that the First Elder and Fourth Elder of the Hidden lineage were not present.
Otherwise, Ye Kunlun would have simply taken down the entire Hidden lineage!
"My Young Master, you are my god!" Little Nine's eyes shone like two light bulbs.
Ye Kunlun shivered and cursed, "Get lost!"
Little Nine awkwardly scratched his head and chuckled, "Young Master, the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder are not important, because even all of them combined are not as formidable as the First Elder of the Hidden lineage!"
"Furthermore, according to the information I received, the four elders of the Hidden lineage all come from the shrines of the East Ocean. They are all disciples of the High Priest."
"As for the Sun God behind the Hidden lineage, there is no more specific information for now, as even people within the Hidden lineage haven't seen this god!"
"However, your subordinate has also obtained another piece of news: the shrine has found the last of the three gods—the Cherry Blossom God."
Little Nine's expression turned more solemn.
"The Cherry Blossom God's primordial spirit seems to have some issues and is currently being controlled by the High Priest through some means."
Upon hearing the words 'High Priest,' Ye Kunlun's eyes immediately showed killing intent.
After hearing about the Cherry Blossom God, his gaze softened slightly.
After all, the current Cherry Blossom God was Mo Ziyan!
When Little Nine mentioned the Cherry Blossom God being controlled by the High Priest, the killing intent in Ye Kunlun's eyes almost solidified into substance.
Little Nine shivered.
"Where is the shrine?" Ye Kunlun asked in a cold voice.
