361: A force of their own!

"Why?"

Xuanyuan Tianji had thought you would have her do the same as Ye Wushuang: take the opportunity to kill the Vanguard Hall members while searching for resources outside, then seize all the resources for herself.

You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji and gave a bitter, helpless smile.

You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you were currently unable to leave the Immortal Spirit Sect and needed to temporarily rely on it for cultivation.

You told Xuanyuan Tianji that if you were to repeat Ye Wushuang's script, the Vanguard Hall would definitely point its finger at Peak Number Twelve, and if the Immortal Spirit Sect's higher-ups discovered any clues, none of you would escape.

You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you and Ye Wushuang had already agreed: you would be in the open, and he would be in the shadows.

You told Xuanyuan Tianji that Ye Wushuang was already in the Vast Immortal Domain, searching for a territory for you, and he would build a Sect there for you.

"A Sect?"

"You want to establish your own power?"

Xuanyuan Tianji was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected you to dare to create your own power in the Vast Immortal Domain.

One must know that you were currently only a Cultivator in the Late Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, a Realm that was as common as dogs in the Vast Immortal Domain.

Before this, you might not have had this idea, but after the last experience, this idea became even stronger.

Rather than wandering in the Vast Immortal Domain, it was better to create a power of your own within it.

When you first told Ye Wushuang this idea, he readily agreed.

In Ye Wushuang's eyes, as long as it could help him get revenge, he was willing to do anything.

Therefore, after leaving the Immortal Spirit Sect, Ye Wushuang followed your instructions and went to the outskirts of the Star Radiance Mountain Range to find your territory.

Before Ye Wushuang left, you told him about the distribution of Haoran Immortal Sect's territory on the outskirts of the Star Radiance Mountain Range.

You reminded Ye Wushuang to avoid the Haoran Immortal Sect's sphere of influence once he reached the Star Radiance Mountain Range.

"The Star Radiance Mountain Range, huh..."

After listening to you, Xuanyuan Tianji showed a thoughtful expression.

"If I remember correctly, the Star Radiance Mountain Range is quite far from the Black Sea!"

"That's good too!"

After thinking for a long time, Xuanyuan Tianji felt that your idea was not bad.

After leaving the Immortal Spirit Sect, you and Ye Wushuang, who possessed the Battle Saint Body, could collect resources everywhere in the Vast Immortal Domain; at least she wouldn't have to worry about resources, the only downside might be that safety was not as good as in the Immortal Spirit Sect.

However, as a Heaven-Defying Cultivator, Xuanyuan Tianji deeply understood one principle: risks and benefits coexist.

In the days that followed, you continued to Cultivate as usual.

The sixth year!

This year, you finally broke through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, this Breakthrough did not bring you much joy.

The more you knew, the more you realized the greater your own pressure.

After briefly stabilizing your Realm, you entered a state of secluded cultivation once more.

During this period, Lin Tian told you that Li Changfeng had invited you to the Pill Peak, but you had refused all of them.

In a flash!

The tenth year!

You awakened from your secluded cultivation!

After awakening, you went directly to the Pill Peak.

When you saw Li Changfeng, you found him looking at you with a helpless expression.

"Finally willing to come see me?"

"Wait! Your vitality?"

At this moment, Li Changfeng suddenly noticed that a small strand of hair on your forehead had turned white.

In response, you told Li Changfeng that this was the price of using some forbidden techniques and was not a big problem.

Li Changfeng looked at you suspiciously, but he didn't ask too many questions.

"Ye Wushuang's matter is related to you?"

"Yes!"

You nodded, not denying it.

"You... why don't you ever tell me before doing things?"

"Sigh!!!"

You looked at Li Changfeng's expression, knowing what he wanted, but everything was too idealistic.

You told Li Changfeng that you could handle these matters.

You told Li Changfeng that from his perspective, what he could do was very limited.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng froze in place.

After calming down, Li Changfeng smiled with relief.

Li Changfeng knew that you were right; although he was an Elder of the Immortal Spirit Sect, managing such a large Pill Peak by himself.

But, in the end, he was merely a pawn of the Immortal Spirit Sect's higher-ups, with no real power.

Late at night!

You left the Pill Peak and returned to Peak Number Twelve, where you found Situ Xiaoyue.

"What's wrong?"

Situ Xiaoyue didn't know why you came to find her at this time.

"Elder Brother Haoyue might be returning soon!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Xiaoyue's face instantly lit up with surprise.

"Are you serious? My brother is coming back?"

You nodded.

You told Situ Xiaoyue that Situ Haoyue would be returning from the Weiyang Immortal Domain sometime very soon.

Situ Xiaoyue believed your words implicitly, and after receiving this news, she couldn't sleep all night.

Three days later!

Indeed, just as you had said, Situ Xiaoyue sensed Situ Haoyue's Qi.

Immediately after, you took Situ Xiaoyue and left the Immortal Spirit Sect.

Not long after leaving the Immortal Spirit Sect, you saw Situ Haoyue's figure.

However, what puzzled Situ Haoyue was that he saw no expression of surprise on your face.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's with that expression? I'm back, how come you're not surprised at all?"

"Brother!"

The next second, Situ Xiaoyue threw herself into Situ Haoyue's embrace.

Upon hearing her brother's words, Situ Xiaoyue also felt a bit confused.

"Brother? Didn't you tell Su Ming you were coming back?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Then, Situ Xiaoyue recounted everything she knew about his return.

After listening, the shock on Situ Haoyue's face intensified rather than diminished.

"How did you know I was coming back?"

In response, you smiled slightly, merely telling the two that it was all something you had deduced.

"Deduction? I don't believe in that stuff. That kind of thing carries too much Karma. Your Realm is so much lower than mine, I don't believe it!"

Seeing Situ Haoyue's persistence, you simply revealed another piece of information.

"I also know that you recently met my Senior Sister in the Weiyang Immortal Domain!"

"Your Senior Sister?"

"Who is your Senior Sister?"

Situ Haoyue became interested when you said that.

"My Senior Sister! Luo Yiyi! The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox of Qingqiu!"
