Ye Xuan was not interested in the witnessing ceremony and was ready to leave the Xuantian Emperor City directly. As for the changes in the Xuantian Ancient Country, he was too lazy to get involved. And he disdained getting involved. However, Heng Dao Venerable Tong Wutian, after failing to persuade him further, voluntarily informed Ye Xuan that the Xuantian Ancient Country would form an alliance with the Emperor Immortal Sect. This was also another means for Tong Wutian to offer a token of allegiance. Of course, Tong Wutian did this more for the sake of his own brother, Tong Wuji. Tong Wuji was not surprised by his brother’s decision and did not deny it. In fact, he no longer had much affection for the Xuantian Ancient Country. His only family left now was Tong Wutian. The royal family members of the past were all killed. Although Tong Wutian acquainted himself with many so-called ’Royal Bloodline’ members, in reality, they were separated by countless generations from their bloodline. Naturally, there wasn’t any familial affection. Tong Wuji originally wanted to leave with Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan asked him to stay and attend the ceremony for Tong Wutian. On the other hand, it was also to let the two brothers catch up. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for a very long time and would surely have endless drinks and conversations. Besides, Ye Xuan needed Tong Wuji to stay in the Central Earth Divine Continent for a few days. If Wind and Thunder Mountain and the Heavenly Demon Sea didn’t behave, he would have Tong Wuji pay them a visit. After instructing these matters, Ye Xuan reunited with Array Emperor Junior, Yao Yueqing, and others. Tong Wutian specially arranged the most luxurious restaurant in Xuantian Emperor City for everyone. Array Emperor Junior seemed very excited, praising Ye Xuan while recounting their adventures in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, his expression lively and animated. Compared to Array Emperor Junior, the old man beside him seemed rather restrained, wanting to toast Ye Xuan several times but feeling too shy. Array Emperor Junior naturally noticed that scene, but he enjoyed seeing the old man humbled, so he didn’t bother to introduce them. The furious old man dared not say anything else in Ye Xuan’s presence, contemplating how to reprimand the unfilial Array Emperor Junior once they returned to the Zongheng Sect! Meanwhile, the mature woman in her thirties next to Yao Yueqing, dressed in a wide Daoist robe but still exuding a mature charm like a ripe apple, made one want to take a bite. At this moment, the mature woman raised her glass, stood up gracefully, and softly spoke, "Previously in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, many thanks to Young Master Ye for taking care of the Holy Daughter." Ye Xuan raised his glass to drink, his gaze falling on Yao Yueqing, who seemed hesitant to speak, and smiled slightly, "What, you don’t recognize your own young master after being away for a while?" Upon hearing this, Yao Yueqing rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, full of charms, and said with a hint of discontent, "I never admitted that." "As long as you admit it in your heart," Ye Xuan laughed heartily, not getting offended. Yao Yueqing snorted softly, but she still honestly raised her glass to toast Ye Xuan. The great opportunity Ye Xuan had given her was extraordinary. Now she had become the Holy Daughter of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, and her strength was soaring rapidly. Yao Yueqing had a strong premonition that she would be incredibly powerful in the future. So powerful that it would exceed her imagination. After a few rounds of drinks, Array Emperor Junior, Yao Yueqing, and others took their leave. Only Ye Xuan, Qiao Xinyu, the Mountain Ridge Venerable, the East Desolate Wolf, and Ao Rulong remained in the room. However, they did not intend to get up and leave. "Not planning to come in yet?" Ye Xuan, holding a Jade Wine Cup, said leisurely. Qiao Xinyu closed his eyes to rest. The Mountain Ridge Venerable sat upright. The East Desolate Wolf’s gaze was fixed on the door, a hint of amusement in his fierce eyes. Only Ao Rulong seemed a bit puzzled. Ao Rulong finally sensed it, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed door. The next moment, the door slowly opened. A graceful silhouette appeared before them. She stood outside the door, not rushing to come in, but smiled apologetically, slightly bowing: "Sorry for disturbing you, Young Master, I hope you don’t mind." The woman looked to be in her early twenties, as fresh and elegant as a lotus flower emerging from water. Both ethereal and approachable, like a familiar neighborhood sister. After speaking, the woman stepped in gracefully. The door closed automatically. Everyone’s gaze fell on the woman, scrutinizing her. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 Ye Xuan glanced at her briefly and then turned his attention away, drinking the wine in his cup before speaking, "So, what is it?" The woman blinked, her mouth subtly curving with a hint of grievance, "Does Young Master plan to let me speak while standing?" Ye Xuan, without lifting his head, replied, "If you don’t want to stand, then feel free to leave." The woman’s expression froze, then she felt a bit helpless. How could this guy be so unromantic? However, considering this person’s identity, the woman restrained her grievance and seriously said, "I am Wang Xi of the Desolate God Demon Palace, meeting the leader of the Black Blade Sect for the first time." "Desolate God Demon Palace?" Ao Rulong was confused. Why hadn’t he heard of it? Is there such a Sect in the Daozhou Great Domain? But then, Ao Rulong recalled something. This woman had appeared previously at the Ancestor Temple, apparently representing another province. How did she know the young master? Ao Rulong was extremely astonished. With these doubts, Ao Rulong quietly awaited further explanation. After introducing herself, Wang Xi paused and softly said, "I never expected a woman like me to see the leader of the Black Blade Sect in person; what an honor." Wang Xi’s gaze remained fixed on Ye Xuan the entire time. However, Wang Xi didn’t know that Ye Xuan was not the leader of the Black Blade Sect but rather... the leader of the Revenge Lineage! Ye Xuan did not bother to explain, speaking slowly, "Get to the point." Wang Xi smiled slightly, bowed, and gently said, "Actually, it’s just that my Desolate God Demon Palace wishes to invite the leader to visit on a suitable occasion." "As for the specifics... the Sovereign of the Sect from my Desolate God Demon Palace will personally discuss it with the leader." Before Wang Xi finished speaking, Ye Xuan interrupted her. Wang Xi was momentarily stunned. Although she expected the leader’s temperament to be somewhat eccentric, she hadn’t anticipated him to refuse so directly. Ye Xuan glanced at Wang Xi and said slowly, "Your Desolate God Demon Palace, it’s just some trivial issue of the Desolate God, nothing worth discussing." The corner of Wang Xi’s mouth twitched as she took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Please, leader, do consider coming over." Ye Xuan unhurriedly replied, "What if I choose not to go?" Wang Xi could only offer a wry smile, "If the leader truly doesn’t wish to, we have to comply, but the Sovereign of the Sect conveyed that if the leader could grace us with his presence, regardless of the outcome, when the Desolate Realm opens, the Desolate God Demon Palace would be willing to share the first-hand information with the leader." Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, "The Desolate Realm is about to open?"
