Looking at Ge Lao’s weird behavior, Xie Buyu asked curiously, “Ge Lao, are you alright?”
“Ah? I’m fine, I’m very fine! Ah, little girl, you don’t understand. Didn’t I tell you before that the Lieyang Sect is my daughter’s divine alliance?”
“We often play little games here to strengthen father–daughter feelings.”
“Just now was one of those games, hahaha, wasn’t it fun?”
Ge Lao forced a smile to ease the awkwardness.
Then, to prevent Xie Buyu from probing further, he hurriedly asked again, “Oh right, why did you come back? Did you get the Xuanba Shitian Axe back?”
Xie Buyu shook her head.
“The old dog disappeared with the Xuanba Shitian Axe. We don’t know his whereabouts yet. As for why he came here... well, husband and wife must follow each other. Ye Yu and I have already formed a Daoist partnership!”
“Ah?”
Ge Lao’s left pupil trembled.
This news was explosive!
Only a few days had passed, and Ye Yu had already made his move successfully?
Tsk tsk, young gods these days sure acted fast!
Meanwhile, on the road to the main hall, Ye Yu heard a different version from Xiaocui.
It turned out that yesterday Sect Master Zhuxin Cheng had returned with people immediately.
He wanted to see Ye Yu first.
But he learned that Ye Yu had left.
So Zhuxin Cheng sent Xiaocui to fetch Ge Lao and have him call Ye Yu back!
It was originally a very small matter.
But Ge Lao took advantage, claiming he hadn’t heard Zhuxin Cheng call him “Father” for many years.
Now he wanted to hear it!
As long as Zhuxin Cheng agreed, he would call Ye Yu back immediately!
The result was predictable!
Ge Lao was thrown outside the divine alliance. Only when he called Ye Yu back could he return; otherwise he would never set foot in the Lieyang Sect again!
After hearing Xiaocui’s account, Ye Yu revealed a wry smile.
There must be some history between Ge Lao and Zhuxin Cheng. Their father–daughter relationship was obviously strained!
Under such circumstances, making demands directly was unwise!
He didn’t understand the principle of gradual progress. How could he improve their relationship?
Soon they arrived at the main hall.
Xiaocui stepped back one pace and gestured to Ye Yu to enter.
He didn’t hesitate and walked straight in.
And once again saw that figure!
The peerlessly beautiful Zhuxin Cheng.
Now, no longer an illusion, the space around her seemed to warp.
From afar it felt like gazing into the scorching sun!
Zhuxin Cheng asked, “On the way here, Xiaocui told you so much. Do you have nothing to ask? For example, the nature of my relationship with that old bastard?”
Ye Yu shook his head.
“I have nothing to ask. These are your family matters; as an outsider I have no right to interfere. But every effect has a cause. There is no love without reason, nor hatred without reason.”
Hearing this answer, Zhuxin Cheng’s eyes brightened.
“You really are an interesting person.”
“Let’s get back to the point. What is your true cultivation level now? Divine True Realm? Great Divine Realm?”
“It shouldn’t be any higher!”
“And how did you create that terrifying world phenomenon?”
“Don’t look at me like that. Don’t forget that the old bastard is my father. To mend our relationship, even if I chopped him a few times, he’d agree willingly. Let alone telling me what I want to know!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression grew extremely serious.
“You old man, you really don’t trust me!”
“Did you betray me that fast?”
“Moreover, Zhuxin Cheng guessed so accurately and swiftly. She’s clearly clever!”
In such a situation, how to break the deadlock?
Ye Yu’s mind raced as he thought seriously.
He would not reveal the secret of his dream talent to anyone!
The reason was simple. Ye Yu worried he would be treated as a test subject!
But Zhuxin Cheng looked determined not to rest until she got her answer.
How to bluff or stall her?
Perhaps seeing that Ye Yu remained silent, Zhuxin Cheng raised her hand and swore.
“I, Zhuxin Cheng, swear by the Scorching Sun Dao that I have no intention of harming Ye Yu, nor will I forcibly seize secret treasures or techniques. All of this is purely to satisfy my curiosity. If I break this oath, may the Dao collapse!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a glimmer flashed at her fingertip!
Ye Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The gods swearing by the Dao? That should guarantee honesty!
But literal truth wouldn’t do!
After pondering for a moment, he said softly, “I have a special technique that can shake heaven and earth, causing ominous signs and an overwhelming oppressive feeling.”
“But as Ge Lao said, it’s just for show!”
“If you want, I can demonstrate it!”
Zhuxin Cheng immediately gestured for him to proceed!
Ye Yu then swept his divine sense over the entire Lieyang Sect. Detecting hundreds of divine energies, his heart leapt!
Yes, he intended to show the special effect deliberately!
All to manifest within the sect and harvest a wave of obedience value!
Since the opportunity stood before him, Ye Yu naturally would not miss it!
As his thought moved, the special effect began!
At that moment, the entire Lieyang Sect started to tremble violently!
All gods within the divine alliance couldn’t help frowning!
What was happening? Was someone attacking the alliance?
Thinking this, all the gods immediately gathered on the sect’s practice platform, cautiously looking around.
But they were astonished to find no hostile figures.
This wasn’t right. What was going on?
In an instant, thick black mist gathered above the Lieyang Sect, blotting out the sky!
It was as if night had fallen here!
Next, a terrifying aura swept the scene!
All gods present felt an awful pressure descend, like a heavy stone upon every heart!
What was this? Which Supreme One had descended here?
With such momentum, who could it be?
Terrifying, too terrifying. It even affected my qi circulation; my divine power was almost out of control.
While the gods murmured, a ten-zhang tall deity raised his hand, pointing forward.
“Look at the main hall!”
At his words, everyone turned to look, and the next moment all widened their eyes.
