Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Don’t resist. Go with them.”

Yang Xiao’s voice rang out in Ye Dongge’s mind.

In an instant, it extinguished any thought he had of escaping.

He was extremely unwilling.

But he still had faith in Yang Xiao’s methods.

The man had even toyed with his own master until he was dead.

What chance did this so-called Elder Qing have?

Besides, Yang Xiao was on his person right now. Their fates were intertwined; they would prosper or perish together. Ye Dongge believed that Yang Xiao wouldn’t harm him.

And...

...even if he wanted to escape...

...he had to be able to get away first.

Without Yang Xiao’s help, there was no way he could be faster than Elder Qing.

Therefore, Ye Dongge quickly calmed down.

His face turned cold and indifferent.

”The Sect Leader has summoned me. Naturally, I must return. I will go back to the Profound Celestial Sect with you now.”

’Huh? He agreed so readily? Could it be that the matter of Great Elder Ye Xuanfeng’s death really has nothing to do with him?’

Ye Tieyi, on the other hand, grew suspicious.

When he received the order to bring Ye Dongge back no matter what, he knew his chance to take the guy down had arrived.

But looking at him now...

...he felt a little hesitant.

”Young Master Tie Yi, don’t be deceived by him. This man clearly wanted to flee just now. He’s only pretending to be calm. We should be careful. If he really makes a move, I will personally eliminate him.”

Elder Qing’s voice rang out in Ye Tieyi’s mind.

Hearing his words...

...Ye Tieyi immediately broke into a smile again.

”In that case, if you please, Senior Brother Dongge. However, we aren’t returning to the Profound Celestial Sect, but to another place.”

”What place?”

Ye Tieyi smiled faintly. ”You’ll know when we get there. It’s quite lively there right now. Not only is the Sect Leader there, but several bigwigs from Immortal Dao City are there as well. I’m sure Senior Brother Dongge is very eager to meet them. Oh, right, there’s something very unfortunate I forgot to mention. Not long ago, it was confirmed that the Great Elder has fallen. I wonder if Senior Brother Dongge knows about this?”

”Master? What did you say happened to my master?”

Ye Dongge’s expression changed drastically.

He acted as if he truly didn’t know.

Ye Tieyi couldn’t see through his act.

He could only feign sadness and say, ”Senior Brother Dongge, you truly didn’t know? Alas, the Great Elder was brilliant his whole life, yet he fell at the hands of some vile wretch. I heard that it wasn’t just him; even Changsheng and more than a dozen other martial brothers have all perished. Of the Great Elder’s entire lineage, only you are left, Senior Brother Dongge.”

”Please accept my condolences, Senior Brother. I’m sure the Sect Leader will see that justice is done for the Great Elder and our dozen or so martial brothers.”

Ye Dongge wore a grief-stricken expression.

He said nothing.

Ye Tieyi glanced at him.

He didn’t say anything more either.

But he didn’t let his guard down.

He had his men surround Ye Dongge.

He watched him constantly.

They led him all the way in the direction of the Profound Sun Secret Realm.

When Ye Dongge realized this, his face remained mournful, but inwardly he was ecstatic, as he had intended to bring Yang Xiao there all along.

He even began to harbor a different kind of thought.

’The Profound Sun Secret Realm is heavily guarded by numerous experts. If the Sect Leader and those bigwigs from Immortal Dao City are really there, maybe... maybe they can actually kill that brat Yang Xiao and set me free!’

Ever since he learned that Yang Xiao wasn’t the descendant of some expert from an Outer Continent, but rather someone from that place called the Celestial Cloud Barbaric Land...

...Ye Dongge’s already wavering resolve to submit had been shaken.

Although he was terrified of Yang Xiao’s methods after what happened with Ye Xuanfeng...

...his innate contempt for people from the Barbaric Land gave Ye Dongge a sliver of hope he hadn’t had before. His thoughts were almost identical to Ye Xuanfeng’s before his death.

They both felt that as long as they killed Yang Xiao...

...the poison in their bodies could be neutralized.

With this thought, Ye Dongge’s feelings became increasingly complex.

Unbeknownst to them, Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi were completely unaware of this inside the White Jade Palace.

However, through the Golden Roc True Body he had placed on Ye Dongge, Yang Xiao also discovered their destination.

It seemed to be in the exact same direction as before.

A thought stirred in his heart.

’If they’re really going to the Profound Sun Secret Realm, then this is a huge help to us.’

Yue Lingxi had said before that as long as they were within ten li of the Profound Sun Secret Realm, she could activate the Profound Sun Order to enter. Once inside the Profound Sun Secret Realm, the Seal on her would be broken.

At that time...

...with an expert of at least the Demigod Level by his side...

...would Yang Xiao still have to fear them?

’If they dare to follow us in...’

’...I’ll turn them all into nourishment for my Bloodthirsty Sword.’

’And then there’s the Golden Roc True Body. My Heaven and Earth Origin Fire is already at the level of a Spirit Fire. With a bit more refinement, this true body could very well break through to the Great Divine Power Realm. By then, with this true body and the Heart of Time, even a Void Immortal might not be able to catch me. At that point, even after leaving the Profound Sun Secret Realm, these guys probably won’t be able to do a thing to me.’

So, at this very moment...

...Yang Xiao was also quite excited.

And so...

...with the group rushing along...

...it wasn’t long...

...before the party...

...arrived before a pitch-black castle.

The castle looked quite ordinary, but a sweep with one’s Spiritual Power would reveal that the security here was incredibly strict.

’It really is this place!’

A thought flashed through Ye Dongge’s mind.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

But it was overshadowed by nervousness.

At the same time, he swept out with his Spiritual Power.

He quickly discovered a familiar aura among those present.

His Heart Spirit stirred.

He began to send a voice transmission.

And at the same time, inside the White Jade Palace, a brilliant light flashed from Yue Lingxi.

The previously silent Profound Sun Order spontaneously flew out from her body.

A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Yue Lingxi’s face.

”Lord Xiao, we’re here! We’re within ten li of the Profound Sun Secret Realm. As long as you infuse this Profound Sun Order with your Supreme Yang Aura, you’ll be able to sense the entrance to the Profound Sun Secret Realm. Then we can have Ye Dongge take us there and open the gateway to the Profound Sun Secret Realm completely, letting us in!”

Yue Lingxi was very excited.

”It looks like even the heavens are helping us. Since that’s the case, to avoid any unexpected complications, why don’t we activate the Profound Sun Order right now?”

Yang Xiao was just as excited.

The Profound Sun Secret Realm was Junior Brother Xuan Yang’s Small World.

’If that junior brother of mine left any clues, they would definitely be hidden here.’

’Besides, Chang Xi’s maid, Fire Kite, had also mentioned that I should find the Ye Family, enter the Profound Sun Secret Realm, and look for a mysterious Small Furnace Cauldron.’

’That thing is clearly very important.’

Yang Xiao wanted to obtain it.

Perhaps he could find clues on it as to whether Chang Xi had betrayed him.

’On top of that, I’m very short on resources right now. How many rare resources would the Small World of a Great Emperor contain?’

”We can. Oh, right, it would be best to have Ye Dongge enter with us. That way, the people outside will probably think he’s the one who opened the Profound Sun Secret Realm. We can hide in the shadows and wait for the right moment to act.”

”Good idea.”

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

He agreed.

Stepping forward, he followed Yue Lingxi’s instructions and infused the Profound Sun Order with the True Greater Yang Fire from within his body.

Instantly, the entire Profound Sun Order radiated a dazzling light.

He soon sensed the location of the gateway to the Profound Sun Secret Realm.

Just as he was about to instruct Ye Dongge to head there...

...a series of powerful auras instantly surrounded Ye Dongge.

Among them...

...was one man in particular.

He wore a pale gold robe.

His hair and beard were completely white.

Through Ye Dongge, the Golden Roc True Body saw this man.

Yang Xiao’s expression changed.

Because he...

...was none other than Ye Donghuang.

The East Domain Immortal Master who had descended upon the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

A terrifying Void Immortal Realm expert.

His gaze pierced straight through to the Small White Jade Palace.

Yang Xiao instantly understood.

He was exposed!
