Tianyi Patriarch

Xuanyuan Jian had already been kept in the Ming Cult for such a long time, and on top of that, Xiao Feng had gone off to who knows where.

The experiments Wu Hai could conduct on Xuanyuan Jian were basically finished.

Even if he returned Xuanyuan Jian to the Tianyi Sect, he would still be able to extort a fortune from them.

When Xiao Feng returned, he could give these good things he had extorted to him; it would mean Xuanyuan Jian's value hadn't been wasted.

"Your Tianyi Sect's Young Sect Leader swaggered into our Ming Cult's territory and even wanted to kill our Ming Cult's people."

"We detained him, which was just a small punishment as a warning; surely that doesn't warrant the Tianyi Sect coming to our mountain gate in person. Is your Tianyi Sect trying to make an enemy of our Ming Cult?"

At the foot of the mountain, the moment the Tianyi Sect Master saw the Poison Emperor Wu Hai appear, his hair stood on end.

Others might not know, but how could they not know the true methods of the man before them?

Within the entire Ming Cult, this guy was the most vicious; they would rather offend Su Mo than offend Wu Hai.

"My son is young, and if he did something wrong, it is naturally up to me, his father, to discipline and punish him. I won't trouble the Poison Emperor. Please return my son to me. If the Poison Emperor has any conditions, just state them."

The Tianyi Sect Master had long known that successfully taking Xuanyuan Jian back this time would certainly not be easy.

He had already prepared himself to be extorted by these Devil Heads.

It was just that he hadn't expected to underestimate the conditions that Wu Hai and the others would propose.

But he couldn't just come all this way with great fanfare only to return empty-handed and ashamed.

Although the Magic Treasures and Spirit Medicines Wu Hai demanded made his heart ache, at this moment, he had no choice but to agree to them all.

Wu Hai gave them three days to prepare.

By the second day, the people arranged by the Tianyi Sect Master had already appeared at the foot of the mountain with a Storage Ring filled with the items.

The Tianyi Sect Master directly used his Divine Sense to check the contents of the Storage Ring. After confirming that everything had been prepared according to Wu Hai's requirements, he tossed the ring directly to Wu Hai.

"Poison Emperor, you may check if the items inside are to your satisfaction. If they are, please keep our agreement and hand over my son!"

After Wu Hai raised his hand and used his magical power to catch the item, he probed it with his Divine Sense and inspected it.

Wu Hai was quite satisfied with the Tianyi Sect Master's understanding of the situation, so he waved his hand and had someone bring the already-bound Xuanyuan Jian before him.

"In view of the Tianyi Sect Master's sincerity, I won't keep Young Master Xuanyuan to continue being a guest at the Ming Cult. You may take him back."

Upon hearing Wu Hai dare to say such things, many Tianyi Sect Disciples angrily gripped the Magical Artifacts in their hands.

As long as the Tianyi Sect Master gave the order, they could directly attack the Ming Cult and kill these members of the evil cult.

However, the Tianyi Sect Master could feel that neither Wu Hai nor Su Mo were existences he could easily deal with.

As long as the other party was willing to hand over his son, this matter could be put aside for now.

However, when the Tianyi Sect Master saw Xuanyuan Jian's crazed appearance, his vision went black.

"Wu Hai, what did you do to my son!" Unable to hold back his emotions any longer, the Tianyi Sect Master angrily demanded of Wu Hai.

"What is the matter? I didn't know this Young Master's true identity before; I only thought he was some secret agent sent by another Sect into our Ming Cult."

"After catching a secret agent, I naturally had to make the most of him. It was only later that I found out he was actually the Young Sect Leader of the Tianyi Sect. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourselves for not coming to save him earlier. Can you really blame me?"

Xuanyuan Jian, who was already about to walk over to the Tianyi Sect side, was suddenly sucked back by Wu Hai with a wave of his hand.

The Tianyi Sect Master had no time for a verbal battle with Wu Hai and immediately demanded that Wu Hai return Xuanyuan Jian to him.

This was the deal they had made.

"Since you know it was a deal, Tianyi Sect Master, there is no need to shout like that. Instead of wasting time, you might as well take your son back sooner to have him properly examined."

Wu Hai did not go back on his word; he directly threw the now-insane Xuanyuan Jian, whom he had tortured, down.

The Tianyi Sect Master quickly stepped forward to catch his son.

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Jian had completely lost his sanity.

In his body, there was not only the poison Wu Hai had specifically researched for him, but also the aftereffects of the insane torture during this period that had caused his mental breakdown.

Seeing so many people appear before him, Xuanyuan Jian almost subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.

He did not want others to see him in this state.

Listening to his son's screams and whimpers, and seeing how he repelled anyone from approaching him.

The Tianyi Sect Master spent a great deal of effort to forcibly suppress the urge in his heart to eradicate the Ming Cult, only glaring fiercely at Wu Hai.

Seeing that the person had been sent out, Wu Hai couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the situation on the Tianyi Sect's side. After taking one look at Su Mo, he turned and left, returning to the Ming Cult.

Seeing the culprit leave so calmly, especially with the Storage Ring that Wu Hai had deliberately worn on his hand, it stung the Tianyi Sect Master's eyes fiercely.

But at this moment, saving his son was the most important thing.

The Tianyi Sect Master did not dwell on it further; he just gave the Ming Cult before him a sinister look before leaving with his Disciples.

He had originally thought that saving Xuanyuan Jian this time would require paying a greater price, and it might even lead to war.

He hadn't expected that the other party would just send him out after demanding some items.

After returning to the Tianyi Sect in a rage with Xuanyuan Jian, the Tianyi Sect Master immediately ordered all the Disciples to return to their posts, while he took people to see the Heaven One Old Ancestor at the first opportunity.

"Old Ancestor, please save my son. Jian'er, he..."

After receiving the Old Ancestor's permission, the Tianyi Sect Master cautiously entered the Old Ancestor's courtyard and fell to his knees in the middle of the courtyard with a thud.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jian, who was following beside the Tianyi Sect Master, immediately followed suit and knelt down, his eyes filled with panic and unease.

"Come in." The Old Ancestor's aged voice rang out.

The Tianyi Sect Master cautiously took Xuanyuan Jian into the secret chamber where the Old Ancestor was currently located.

Xuanyuan Jian was clearly very afraid of such a place, constantly tugging tightly on the Tianyi Sect Master's sleeve, absolutely unwilling to leave his side even for half a step.

Until the two walked through the long, dark corridor and finally reached the front of the Heaven One Old Ancestor, Xuanyuan Jian's state improved slightly.

"Old Ancestor, may you be well!" The Tianyi Sect Master knelt before the Heaven One Old Ancestor, lowered his head, and spoke respectfully.

"Let me see." The Heaven One Old Ancestor reached out toward Xuanyuan Jian, and Xuanyuan Jian cautiously placed his hand over it.

In an instant, the Heaven One Old Ancestor detected the tyrannical poison in Xuanyuan Jian's body that was capable of destroying his sanity.
