131: The Sky-Supporting Sect gave me too much; I can't go back.

"Haha, hurry up and go in. I can't wait to experience the heaven-defying function of the Time Pagoda."

"A thousand times, a thousand times! Becoming an Emperor or an Immortal is just around the corner!"

"Hehe, once I cultivate, my dad won't dare to speak loudly to me anymore."

Over a hundred thousand people, excited, rushed into the Time Pagoda, vying for entry.

Huyan Xiaoyao, who was following behind the crowd, took out her communication treasure with a puzzled expression to listen to the information inside.

"Miss, how is it in there? If there's nothing special, let's go back quickly, or the Old Ancestor will be furious if he comes out and doesn't see you," Little Lotus's urging voice came from within.

She thought Huyan Xiaoyao entering the Qingtian Sect was purely to satisfy her own curiosity.

As the number one Chamber of Commerce on the continent, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, Huyan Xiaoyao lacked no cultivation resources, so she didn't believe Huyan Xiaoyao truly wanted to join the Qingtian Sect.

"If you want to go back, go back yourself. Qingtian Sect will be my home from now on. Tell that Old Thing not to look for me again," Huyan Xiaoyao replied, then hurriedly walked into the Time Pagoda.

Before, she had indeed only entered the Qingtian Sect out of curiosity.

But who would have thought that the treatment at Qingtian Sect was so heaven-defying?

Not only did they provide her with a God-level Cultivation Method, which was even more powerful than an Immortal-level Cultivation Method, but they also had a heaven-defying cultivation treasure like the Time Pagoda. The cultivation environment of Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was like heaven and earth compared to Qingtian Sect.

As long as she cultivated in the Qingtian Sect for two or three years, she would definitely surpass her grandfather, that Old Thing.

So it wasn't that she didn't want to go back, but that Qingtian Sect gave too much; she truly couldn't go back.

"Miss, you can't do this! The Old Ancestor will really be angry!" Hearing Huyan Xiaoyao say this, Little Lotus's voice began to grow anxious.

If Huyan Xiaoyao really stayed in the Qingtian Sect, her grandfather would find out and the first person he would hold accountable would be her, the personal maid. By then, she would be half-dead even if she didn't die.

"Hmph, if you want me to go back, there's no way." After reading Little Lotus's message, Huyan Xiaoyao directly broke the communication treasure.

This way, no one could contact her, and no one would disturb her cultivation.

As for her Peak Great Emperor grandfather possibly coming to Qingtian Sect to forcibly take her away, she wasn't worried at all.

After all, with such a heaven-defying cultivation environment in Qingtian Sect, even if Great Emperor Experts weren't everywhere, dealing with her grandfather would certainly be more than enough.

"Hello? Hello! Miss? Miss, speak up!"

Outside the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate.

Little Lotus, holding a small white rabbit, shouted desperately into the communication treasure.

However, no matter how she sent messages to Huyan Xiaoyao, there was no response.

"What should I do? Miss isn't responding, it seems she's determined to stay in Qingtian Sect. How will I explain this to the Old Ancestor?"

Receiving no response, Little Lotus stopped sending messages to Huyan Xiaoyao and stood anxiously in place, pondering a solution.

They had originally snuck into the Southern Region this time. Now that Huyan Xiaoyao wasn't returning, her grandfather would find out sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for her grandfather to discover and become furious, it was better to proactively report it. This might lessen her culpability.

Thinking of this, Little Lotus no longer hesitated.

Instead, she soared into the air and flew towards the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce branch in the Southern Region. There was a cross-domain teleportation array there, and she could quickly return to the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Central State to report the news of Huyan Xiaoyao joining the Qingtian Sect as a disciple.

Inside a massive formation in the backyard of the Southern Region's Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, Little Lotus stood with a worried expression.

Driven by Vice President Wei Yan, the entire formation emitted a massive light, and then Little Lotus's figure disappeared.

Central State, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

As soon as Little Lotus was teleported back, she immediately went to a luxurious hall.

At this moment, a Middle-aged Man with a stern expression was sitting at the main seat in the hall, sipping tea.

"Vice President, this servant has something to report."

Little Lotus walked up to the Middle-aged Man, bowed, and said.

"Oh? It's Little Lotus. What is it?" The Middle-aged Man's expression didn't change when he saw it was Little Lotus. He took a sip of tea and asked indifferently.

Little Lotus paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "Vice President, it's like this: Miss and I went to the Southern Region to travel, but Miss joined a sect in the Southern Region. No matter how much I called, she wouldn't come back, and now I can't contact her."

"What? Miss can't be contacted? How are you serving as a maid?"

Hearing that Huyan Xiaoyao had lost contact, the Middle-aged Man stood up, his expression greatly changed, and he looked at Little Lotus angrily.

Huyan Xiaoyao was the Old Ancestor's beloved. If anything happened to her, none of them would live.

"Vice... Vice President, Miss should not be in danger. She just entered that sect to play as a disciple."

Little Lotus suppressed her fear and replied tremblingly.

"Nonsense!"

The Vice President reprimanded, looking coldly at Little Lotus, "How could playing as a disciple lead to losing contact? Something must have happened to Miss! Tell me which sect in the Southern Region Miss is in, and this President will immediately bring people to bring Miss back."

Huyan Xiaoyao had many treasures on her. Although she possessed a cultivation of Ninth Level Heavenly Venerate, it was not enough for self-preservation.

Now, having lost contact with her personal maid, a big problem must have occurred.

Perhaps the people of that sect discovered the large number of treasures on her, grew greedy, and imprisoned her, which would explain this situation.

"Vice President, that... that sect has Great Emperor Experts. To bring Miss back, we can only ask the Old Ancestor to step forward."

After being roared at by the Middle-aged Man, Little Lotus's legs trembled even more, but she still suppressed her fear and replied.

"What! Great Emperor? That place in the Southern Region has Great Emperors? Are you perhaps making a fool of this President?"

Hearing Little Lotus say that the sect Huyan Xiaoyao joined had Great Emperor Experts, the Vice President's anger intensified.

He had been to the Southern Region before. The Old Ancestors of the Three Great Dynasties were only at the First or Second Level Quasi-Emperor cultivation. Tianbao Chamber of Commerce could send any slightly stronger person to flatten the Southern Region.

Now Little Lotus was saying there were Great Emperor Experts in the Southern Region. Wasn't she treating him like an idiot?

"It's true, Vice President, this servant wouldn't dare to lie to you." Seeing that the Middle-aged Man didn't believe her, Little Lotus, with a crying voice, revealed everything about the Qingtian Sect.

"There really are Great Emperors?"

Looking at Little Lotus's vivid description, the Vice President's face was filled with shock and solemnity.

A Great Emperor Expert appearing in the Southern Region, and he, the Vice President of the main branch, didn't even know? The people at the Southern Region branch were truly negligent.

It seemed he needed to properly rectify the Southern Region branch and teach those people a lesson.

"Alright, you go back to the Southern Region and wait. This President will report this matter to the Old Ancestor." The Vice President waved his hand at Little Lotus, signaling her to leave.

Since there truly was a Great Emperor in the Southern Region, he could only report this matter to Huyan Xiaoyao's grandfather.

Because even though Tianbao Chamber of Commerce still had a First Level Great Emperor as an offering, to bring Huyan Xiaoyao back from a sect with a Great Emperor, a First Level Great Emperor's cultivation simply held no deterrent power.

Therefore, only Huyan Xiaoyao's grandfather, a Peak Great Emperor, stepping forward could ensure a foolproof outcome.
