Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Ye Xuan left the Azure Dragon Sacred Land with the old Sect Master of the Demonic Sect, Yu Tu Tian. The various forces present dared not even utter a single word.
What a joke!
The old Sect Master of the Demonic Sect was once a dominant figure in the Vast Heaven Immortal Kingdom. Even the Martial Path factions feared him greatly. What were these people in comparison?
"Cough, cough, is this... over!?"
The ten disciples of the Myriad Swords Sacred Land looked at the scene before them, their mouths agape. They found it hard to believe that the provocation from the Martial Path factions had ultimately devolved into a mere farce.
"Lord Ye Xuan is too amazing!"
"Indeed, our Young Master and the Demonic Sect's young lady have both been taken in as his disciples. It's hard to imagine how Lord Ye Xuan managed it!"
"Heh, of course, it's his immense charm. Look at how young Lord Ye Xuan is, and he already possesses the strength to crush fifth-tier Immortals. His future achievements will surely far exceed our wildest imaginations."
The various factions exchanged glances. The Purple Gold Divine Dragon clone found an excuse and escorted Liu Qingyun and his party back to the Myriad Swords Sacred Land. Of course, they dared not refuse the Purple Gold Divine Dragon's request, as he was the hope for the Azure Dragon Sacred Land's future rise.
As for Ye Xuan's journey to the Demonic Sect, visiting was a pretense; retrieving the treasures of the Sky-Breaking Thunder King was the true objective.
Now that he had successfully garnered the attention of the Demonic Sect's Old Ancestor, it would be more convenient for the Demonic Sect to make a move later.
"Master, come, let me give you a shoulder massage."
To express her gratitude to her master, Yu Hong Yu was incredibly diligent, quickly starting to massage Ye Xuan's shoulders. This scene caused Mo Ke, the second elder of the Demonic Sect, to widen his eyes, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Their Demonic Sect's little devil, the young lady, was actually... giving someone a shoulder massage.
However, that wasn't all...
Along the way, Yu Hong Yu served tea, offered water, fanned him, and performed every task a servant could. She even cooked for Ye Xuan. This made Yu Tu Tian's lips twitch. He thought to himself that this young friend Ye was truly remarkable, to have disciplined his mischievous granddaughter into such an obedient state. It was truly extraordinary.
But... this fellow was quite considerate towards his granddaughter!
Anyone who dared to harm his granddaughter was his enemy? Heh, this approach was quite similar to the Demonic Sect's.
"By the way, Grandpa."
"My master's Mystic Alliance is currently in need of people. Why don't you join my master?"
Yu Hong Yu, with an elbow towards her master, suddenly blurted out something that caught Yu Tu Tian completely off guard, causing him to choke. "What nonsense are you spouting, you girl?"
As he spoke, Yu Tu Tian bonked his granddaughter on the head.
"Ouch~"
Yu Hong Yu cupped her forehead with both delicate hands and then huffed, "I'm not spouting nonsense. Besides, Master has a way to help you leap directly from a sixth-tier Immortal to a seventh-tier Immortal!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Yu Tu Tian's eyes narrowed. Even the other Old Ancestors of the Demonic Sect and the second elder Mo Ke were shocked.
Seeing the reactions of her grandfather and the second elder, Yu Hong Yu's lips curved in a proud arc. Master was so good to her, so of course she had to think for Master. She then, with a flair for the dramatic, said, "Master, what Hong Yu said is right, isn't it?"
"Master is the most, most powerful person in the world~~"
Her sweet and melodious voice emanated, clearly showing that Yu Hong Yu had long since become Ye Xuan's fan girl.
"Heh, Elder, if you truly wish to join the Mystic Alliance, I would naturally welcome you with open arms."
How could Ye Xuan not know Yu Hong Yu's intentions? However, he didn't refuse. After all, the Demonic Sect's power was the strongest even among the Four Supreme Powers. As for the so-called righteous and demonic paths, they were of no importance to him.
"Sir!"
"If that's the case, you... truly have a method to help the Old Sect Master break through to a seventh-tier Immortal!!"
Second Elder Mo Ke asked with great excitement at this moment. One must know that the Old Sect Master had been severely injured by the Martial Path factions back then, and his cultivation had been stagnant at the sixth-tier Immortal realm ever since. It had been nearly thirty thousand years since that day.
Then, Second Elder Mo Ke recounted Yu Tu Tian's past, his animosity towards the Martial Path factions unreservedly evident in his words.
"Oh."
"Severely injured for thirty thousand years, permanently stuck at the sixth-tier Immortal!"
Ye Xuan mused slightly. It seemed the conflict between the Demonic Sect and the Martial Path factions was more complex than he had imagined.
"Cough, cough, my cultivation, I fear, can only remain as it is for life."
Yu Tu Tian had long since given up hope for his cultivation. Otherwise, he would have broken through long ago in thirty thousand years.
"Heh, Elder, that might not be the case."
Ye Xuan deeply understood the principle of give and take. To gain more, one must first give much. Therefore, Yu Tu Tian was an excellent choice as a breakthrough point for the Demonic Sect.
Following this, he flipped his right hand, and a drop of golden blood appeared, along with a [Mortal Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill]. He then handed both to Yu Tu Tian. "Elder, these two items will surely help you break through."
"Considering your cultivation has been suppressed for thirty thousand years, breaking through to the seventh-tier Immortal is just the beginning. First, use the golden essence blood, and when your cultivation reaches the peak of the sixth-tier Immortal, then use this pill. I also wish to see what realm you can reach after using both."
"Whoa~~"
"This is, such potent medicinal power and energy!!"
Yu Tu Tian's eyesight was exceptionally sharp. Although he didn't know what these two items were, judging by the aura they exuded, they were definitely extraordinary. Hope began to flicker in his heart. After all, who would be content with mediocrity if they had the chance to break through?
"Young friend Ye, regardless of whether I can break through or not, with these two precious items alone, you are my benefactor, Yu Tu Tian!"
"If, by chance, I manage to break through, I will wholeheartedly serve you for the rest of my life!"
After speaking, Yu Tu Tian consumed the golden essence blood. Instantly, a surge of potent medicinal energy flowed through his body. Even Yu Tu Tian almost lost control due to the overwhelming power of the medicine.
"Everyone, be on guard!"
"Do not let anyone disturb the Old Sect Master's cultivation. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!!"
At once, the entire Demonic Sect became fully alert, including all the Old Ancestors. They knew that the Old Sect Master possessed exceptional talent. Otherwise, those scoundrels from the Martial Path factions would not have paid such a heavy price to severely injure him.
If the Old Sect Master had not been severely injured, and after thirty thousand years of stagnation, it was even possible that he would be aiming for the realm of an Immortal Lord by now.
"Yes!!"
Everyone was on high alert. Seeing this, Ye Xuan was also shocked by the status and prestige of Yu Hong Yu's grandfather. My goodness, it seemed he had chosen an excellent point of entry.
With the Demonic Sect conquered, it seemed... it would be broken in no time.
