Seeing that Huo Furong and Hanyan had truly departed, the Grand Elder took out the cross-realm sound transmission jade token that Huang Tianbao had left for him and initiated a transmission:
“Xiao Huang, what are you doing?”
A moment later, Huang Tianbao's voice came from the jade slip:
“Grand Elder, I'm patrolling my territory! What are your instructions, Elder?”
“Xiao Huang, let me tell you something. If anyone tries to bribe you and asks you to join their camp, you must agree!”
This time, almost as soon as the Grand Elder's transmission was sent, Huang Tianbao's tearful voice came back:
“Waaah... Grand Elder, I didn't do anything wrong! You can't abandon me!
“I've been on my best behavior lately!”
Hearing the content of Huang Tianbao's transmission, lines of black appeared on the Grand Elder's forehead.
This guy was already the lord of a world, so why did he still like to cry so much?
His eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment and carefully choosing his words, the Grand Elder replied to Huang Tianbao:
“Xiao Huang, it's like this. According to my calculations, you being in the enemy's camp is actually more beneficial for helping our Qingshan Sect and helping Lu Ming...”
“Really?”
Huang Tianbao's voice was filled with joy!
“Do you want me to be an undercover agent?”
The corner of the Grand Elder's mouth twitched.
“More or less. You must obtain their official recognition of your identity!”
Only after a good while did Huang Tianbao reply:
“Grand Elder, does that mean I should join them and become one of them, rather than just cooperating with them?”
“Yes, yes... Xiao Huang, you're really smart. Your understanding is spot on!
“Oh right, Xiao Huang, I remember you still have that token from the third sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Crush it!
“Don't let anyone discover it while you're undercover!”
After settling the main business with Huang Tianbao, the Grand Elder hesitated for a moment before sending him another message:
“Xiao Huang, is the Xuanming Great World fun? Is it suitable for retirement?”
“Grand Elder, do you want to come and play? However, I still don't have a way to let you guys bring your physical bodies over yet... Wait for me to research it!”
The Grand Elder fell silent for a moment, then replied:
“Alright!”
Afterward, the Grand Elder walked over to his lounge chair and lay down.
“One touch...”
A melodious, strange, and highly distinctive ditty echoed through the Qingshan Sect!
...
Inside the main hall of the Ancient Buddha Sect, Abbot Zhiyuan, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, and several other heads of families were present.
Except, of course, for the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect.
Not only were they there, but Ye Fan and the others who were participating in the secret realm exploration were also present.
The Central Province cultivators who had attached themselves to these ancient powers were there as well!
Among them were Bai Tiansheng, Emperor Tianqi, and the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor!
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor had originally wanted to attach himself to the Qingshan Sect.
However, before he could even go look for the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, he was summoned before Mo Qianye by his own Saintess.
The moment he saw Mo Qianye, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was so enraged he nearly spat blood.
He had never imagined in his wildest dreams that his own Saintess was actually a demon!
Under these circumstances, even if he wanted to cling to the Qingshan Sect's thigh, he couldn't do it anymore!
This was because Mo Qianye had stated that he would tell the Qingshan Sect that the ancestor had long since defected to the demons!
He told the ancestor to give up on that idea. If the ancestor refused to let it go, Mo Qianye could also just let him die.
So, without any hesitation, he chose to give up on the idea.
After all, giving up on an idea was better than losing one's life, especially when the life at stake was his own!
Yet, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was still somewhat unwilling!
To think that he, a grand leader of the righteous path, had fought and killed demonic cultivators, only to inexplicably end up as a lackey for the demons.
Although they were not of the same race, both were related to the word "demon"!
This was somewhat hard for him to accept.
But there was nothing he could do!
As for Emperor Tianqi, with the assistance of Huangpu Haotian, he had barely managed to step into the Mahayana stage!
Thus, he was also arranged to enter the secret realm to serve as cannon fodder!
“Once you enter the secret realm, your primary objective is to kill the Saint of the Qingshan Sect!” the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan declared sinisterly!
He had to teach the Qingshan Sect a lesson, to let them know that although he couldn't defeat them, he could still have someone kill their Saint.
Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately after, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan remembered that these fellows loved infighting!
Scanning the crowd, he spoke:
“Before Lu Ming is killed, no infighting is permitted!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, everyone knew exactly what kind of characters they were!
They could completely wait until after they killed Lu Ming to engage in their infighting!
Right at this moment, Ye Fan's sinister voice rang out:
“Everyone must make a Heavenly Dao Oath! No violations are allowed!”
Everyone was startled. This was a bit ruthless!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan's eyes flickered as he gritted his teeth. “Make it! Everyone must make it!”
Subsequently, the group of Mahayana stage cultivators was forced to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that they would not engage in infighting before Lu Ming was dead!
Following that, a dispute arose over who would lead the team!
Abbot Zhiyuan wanted Ye Fan to lead!
However, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan and the others refused, citing his young age and lack of experience!
In truth, they wanted someone from their own forces to lead!
As a result, they argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
Helpless, they could only draw lots to decide who would lead!
In the end, Ye Fan drew the winning lot!
This left the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor and the others feeling incredibly helpless!
They felt as if their lives were no longer in their own hands!
After all, no matter how intelligent a three-year-old child was, how strong could he possibly be?
Could he really outwit a devil like Lu Ming?
Fortunately, they had numbers on their side!
Afterward, everyone began preparing to set off!
From the Qingshan Sect, only Lu Ming and Big Yellow were participating.
Originally, Big Yellow had not been qualified to participate.
But who could have anticipated that just as they were preparing to set off, out of anxiety, it ended up eating the rules sphere that the Qingshan Sect's Sect Master had given it.
Big Yellow tilted its dog head and let out a couple of barks.
Just when many people thought it was about to die, it actually broke through on the spot!
This left many onlookers utterly dumbfounded!
Weren't rules meant to be comprehended?
Since when could they be eaten?
The key issue was that eating them was much faster than comprehending them!
Many people wanted to try, but they had no rules spheres!
They wanted to buy one from the Qingshan Sect's Sect Master, but the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect claimed their faces weren't fair enough and refused to sell!
Furthermore, Big Yellow's tribulation lightning made them feel as though there was no danger at all!
Since when had tribulations become so easy to cross?
This was especially true for Emperor Tianqi, who had just undergone a tribulation himself not long ago.
The sheer agony was indescribable, and he had almost been struck to death!
He seriously suspected that Big Yellow had undergone a fake tribulation!
It seemed like a mere formality just to increase Big Yellow's physical strength!
If the tribulation lightning weren't a non-human force, he would have suspected that Big Yellow had given it a bribe!
Only Ye Fan's eyes flickered, as he knew exactly what was going on.
That damn tribulation lightning had an improper relationship with Lu Ming and his lot!
His death last time was related to this tribulation lightning!
Damn it!
Just wait. Sooner or later, he would find an opportunity to kill them all!
“Master Zhiyuan, do we still need to use a teleportation array?” the Qingshan Sect's Sect Master asked, looking at the teleportation array before him.
Master Zhiyuan nodded. “Yes! It's a bit far!”
“Buzz...”
As the light of the Ancient Buddha Sect's teleportation array flickered, the group of Mahayana stage cultivators participating in the secret realm exploration, along with the leaders in charge, were all teleported out!
Lu Ming only felt the world spin as a wave of dizziness hit him. By the time he stabilized his mind and came to his senses, he was already standing atop a high mountain peak.
He sensed his surroundings; the spiritual energy here was thin, making it far from a top-tier blessed land.
Not far away stood several temple halls. Looking at the layout, it resembled an inconspicuous, minor sect.
