72: My dear ancestor! I can't stand it anymore!

"Oh? Then what are you worried about?" The Sect Master didn't blame Lin Ye for interrupting him at all, but instead asked.

"I have enemies in the Upper Domain."

"..."

The Sect Master looked at Lin Ye, nearly falling off his chair. *You* have enemies in the Upper Domain???

Good heavens, how long have you even been Cultivating, and you already have enemies in the Upper Domain? If I gave you any more time, would you be leading an army to attack the Upper Domain?

After a long silence, the Sect Master saw that the expression on Lin Ye's face did not seem fake.

He then became serious: "Lin Ye, this is your Sect. As a Disciple of our Sect, if you encounter an enemy you cannot handle, the Sect will naturally step in. You need not worry."

"The enemy is a descendant of an Eternal Family."

"..."

An Eternal Family...

The Sect Master almost cursed out loud.

You have enemies in the Upper Domain, and I thought it was just some small fry, or perhaps some minor faction or Loose Cultivator in the Upper Domain. But you start off, and the enemy's title is already this grand?

The corner of the Sect Master's mouth twitched.

However, he had already put on the act, so if he took it back now, could he still be the Sect Master?

"Ahem..."

The Sect Master cleared his throat and feigned seriousness: "Even if it is an Eternal Family, we still do not fear them! What kind of bullshit descendant of an Eternal Family? If one comes, we slaughter one! You can rest assured."

"Many thanks, Sect Master."

Lin Ye bowed again.

This time, he was genuinely grateful.

The tropes of the Son of Destiny made him potentially a walking bomb—the kind where everywhere he went, things exploded.

After all, back on Blue Star, those reader emperors with Supreme power had summarized the tropes of the Son of Destiny: wherever they went, people died.

In this situation, it would be bad if he implicated the Sect.

But now, hearing the Sect Master say that the Sect's foundation could even clash with an Eternal Family? And it was the kind where they could slaughter the other party's descendant if they wanted to.

Indeed, it lived up to the reputation of a Sect that dared to call itself the Righteous Qi Sect.

"Well, Lin Ye, you should have just had a Breakthrough, right? Go back and consolidate your cultivation. You don't need to worry about the enemy. If he dares to come looking, I will carry it for you!"

"Many thanks, Sect Master. Then this Disciple will take his leave."

Having said that, Lin Ye turned and left.

The Sect Master sat on his chair, watching Lin Ye's figure as he walked away slowly.

Once the hall doors were completely closed, all the aura of a Demon Lord vanished. The Sect Master rolled off the chair like a donkey.

He took out a special token from his qiankun ring.

*Hum...*

As spiritual power surged in, the token glowed faintly.

Before long, an old voice came from the token: "Kid, why are you bothering me for nothing?"

"Old Ancestor!!!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Sect Master hurriedly sat on the ground, crying out like a child: "The Disciples under me are too good at causing trouble! Before, when Xiang Tiange was looking for an Opportunity, he entered someone else's forbidden zone. To bring him back, I almost got folded in there."

"This time, the Holy Son Candidate is even more ruthless. He went and provoked a descendant of an Eternal Family. It sounds like the kind of hatred that ends only in death."

"It's too hard being this Sect Master. You guys stop wandering outside and come back to the Sect quickly. I'm afraid I can't hold out."

"..."

The Sect Master's crying made the people on the other side of the token fall silent for a while, as if digesting these facts.

After a moment, several bursts of loud laughter came from the token.

"Hahahaha, one breaks into a forbidden zone, another goes to fight an Eternal Family! The next generation of our Supreme Bliss Holy Land is simply promising! They have quite the style we had when we were young."

"That's right, a mere forbidden zone, what is there to fear! Tomorrow I will take people to flatten it."

"Don't drag me into your bragging. If you want to go, go yourself."

"Aren't we together?"

"Who is with you? I don't know you."

"..."

Listening to the Ancestors arguing, the Sect Master sniffled repeatedly. Clearly, he felt extremely aggrieved.

"Old Ancestors, hurry up and tell me, when are you coming back? I really can't hold out!"

The Ancestors on the other side of the token stopped laughing. One of them suppressed their laughter and said: "No, no, no, you can hold out. I believe in you."

"I can't hold out!"

"You can hold out."

"I..."

"Shut your mouth! If I say you can hold out, you can hold out. If you can't, wait for us to come back and collect your corpse! We are having fun grabbing things here; do we really need to come back for such a small matter? Tell us again if you really can't hold out!"

*Hum...*

After the scolding, the token went dark. Clearly, the Old Ancestor on the other side had cut off the communication.

This left the Sect Master, who was sitting on the ground, speechless.

Weren't his tears wasted?

The Sect Master stood up, straightened his Dao robe, and with a wave of his hand, the tear stains on his face completely vanished.

The crying child looking for his parents had disappeared, replaced by the majestic Demon Lord.

"If you don't care, then I won't care either! They can provoke whoever they want! If it really comes to it, tomorrow I'll find an Opportunity to go to the Upper Domain and target those Eternal Families and Immortal Dao Lineages, launching a fierce attack on them! Let's see if you come back or not!"

"A bunch of old guys who don't act their age!"

...

On the other side, Lin Ye did not return to Qingyou Peak, but wanted to go out and clear his mind.

The killing intent lingering in his mind meant he couldn't calm down to Cultivate at this moment.

With the token in hand, he naturally didn't need any cumbersome procedures and walked straight out of the main gate.

The Disciples who saw him all looked at him with admiration.

First in history during the trial, surpassing the Ancestral Master—such an achievement was enough to make everyone unable to even see his back.

After walking out of the mountain gate, he arrived at a high ground. Looking at the lush and verdant scenery below, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.

Finding his second brother, breaking into the Upper Domain—neither of these tasks seemed like something that could be completed in a short time.

The urgent priority was to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible. Only then could he compete in this great era and take back everything he had lost.

"Hey, kid! Are you from the Blissful Demon Sect?"

Just as Lin Ye was lost in thought, a voice came from behind him.

Lin Ye turned his head and saw several young Cultivators appearing in front of him. They were wearing white Dao robes, and the Upright Qi added a faint halo to their bodies.

This was also the first time he had seen this legendary Upright Qi.

It seemed that only academies that Cultivated the Dao of Confucianism, as well as those who made the great vow to save the common people, could Cultivate this Upright Qi.

"Blissful Demon Sect?"

Lin Ye pondered for a moment and remembered. It seemed that there were recent rumors about a Sect that had produced a fierce demon, which was the Blissful Demon Sect.

But if they were looking for the Blissful Demon Sect, why would they find him?

"Speak up, you are from the Blissful Demon Sect, right? What are you doing here? Did you know our academy came to slay demons today, so you were scared and ran out of the Sect? Hahahaha."

Several Cultivators laughed without restraint.
