Before parting ways, the three Mahayana cultivators had different expressions: some were timid, some were resentful, and some seemed thoughtful.
The leader was actually only interested in having tea with Lin Ye.
...[Ni Er]⑶ Ball Si Zhou 7 Umbrella
Lin Ye returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and quickly brought fresh tea to see the leader.
She lived in an old courtyard in a bamboo forest in the mountains. The setting sun gilded every inch of the space with a faint golden glow. The leader sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his shadow elongated, making him appear exceptionally serene.
As the autumn wind blew, her face remained calm, letting the withered leaves fall on her head.
The leader's gaze inadvertently fell on the guest who had just stepped into the courtyard.
The leader clearly saw that the beautiful guest's bright eyes were shrouded in a layer of barely perceptible worry, and the slight furrow between her brows was like the delicate ripples on the surface of a lake in spring.
Too...
He will soon enjoy immense success, but there are also hidden worries behind it.
Will the Hehuan Sect retaliate against him? Who knows what undercurrents are brewing beneath the calm surface of the various powerful forces, and whether it will lead to a bloodbath!
"We have good tea today." Lin Ye used a wisp of spiritual energy to remove the withered leaves that had fallen on her head, then sat down opposite her and took out some tea leaves.
The leader quickly opened his bright eyes, his calm expression breaking as he looked at the tea leaves Lin Ye had taken out with surprise.
"What a wonderful aroma, such delicious tea..."
She couldn't hide her surprise and exclaimed, "This isn't some kind of immortal elixir, is it?!"
"That's right, it's called Enlightenment Tea. Don't tell anyone else."
The Emperor Wu gave Lin Ye some tea buds.
He himself is usually reluctant to drink it.
The leader could not hide his delight: "Good."
The leader looked at Lin Ye with clear eyes.
She thought to herself that although she didn't intend to do anything to him, she would still appreciate him.
It's so beautiful, like something created by nature.
I feel pity for her; no wonder ordinary people think of her and dream of her.
"In a few years, I will ascend to heaven."
The leader paused for a moment, then said, "I can't help you with anything."
Lin Ye smiled faintly: "Borrowing this space is already a help."
The leader shook his head: "No, I never interfere with whether you join the Myriad Immortals Alliance."
The tea was ready. Two cups of tea on the stone table were steaming gently, their aroma wafting through the air. Lin Ye's face was calm as still water, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if they could swallow up all emotions.
The leader, holding his teacup, quietly observed Lin Ye, vaguely sensing a subtle vulnerability within him.
Yes, this ordeal will be difficult to overcome.
He has already killed three Mahayana cultivators and provoked three powerful forces. No matter how talented he is, he is still only a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Lin Ye sat at the stone table, his fingers gently stroking the rim of the teacup, as if something was difficult to say.
The leader sipped his drink slowly and waited quietly.
Anyway, as I've already said, I can't be of much help...
Lin Ye took a deep breath and said softly, "I plan to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband."
After saying that, a strange look flashed across Lin Ye's face. He lowered his eyes, then raised them again.
Upon hearing this, the leader blinked repeatedly, trying to glean more information from Lin Ye's expression.
"So I need to borrow this space for a bit," Lin Ye said softly. "Please don't kick me out..."
hiss...
The leader's hand rested lightly on the teacup, but he hesitated to move it, feeling a mix of emotions.
"I will not drive anyone away."
Is that so? The attendees will all be at least Mahayana cultivators!
Since he was the nominal leader, it was only right for him to inform him.
But why do I feel a little frustrated...? It's not mine, so why am I frustrated?
Then she felt a surge of anger.
A genius like you, why not face adversity independently instead of relying on outsiders...?
Wait a minute, what do other people's choices have to do with me?
Immediately afterwards, the leader noticed the abnormality in his emotions, and a glint of light flickered in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, she raised her voice slightly: "Lin Ye, you don't need to tell me about this."
The original intention was to say that you can go ahead and do it.
But she seemed somewhat indifferent, and did she really have no other intentions at all...?
As soon as the leader spoke, he sensed the atmosphere becoming somewhat heavy and looked up.
But Lin Ye remained calm and composed, as if he had long been prepared for criticism. He finished his tea and gently put the cup down.
"How wonderful it would be if I could be as carefree and unattached as you."
"But no matter what, I must protect those two children."
As he spoke, Lin Ye's gaze became resolute.
"Ugh..."
The leader sighed, remained silent for a long while, and then said, "If chaos breaks out in the venue..."
"Don't worry." A unique confidence, typical of a chosen one, shone in Lin Ye's eyes, his one gold and one red pupils gleaming brightly: "I won't let them bother you."
Lin Ye presented a box of tea as a gift and then got up to leave.
Watching Lin Ye's retreating figure, the leader's gaze shifted, and a strange pang of sorrow welled up in his heart.
I was going to say...
If anything goes wrong, I can help you.
"You were misunderstood?" a voice said with amusement. "But it's your fault. They just informed you, why did you overthink it and give them a hard time?"
"Besides, the strong don't need pity. What are you thinking!"
The leader silently shook his head: "I was wrong. Maybe he doesn't need my help at all, at least not in the process of these things. As for the outcome, I can't help much."
The voice asked, "What, you're actually concerned about the result now? Could it be... you're tempted?"
The leader shook his head and said, "You once said that I should smile and let myself have some emotion."
"If there is affection, one will only make mistakes."
"How can you blame me!" the voice said, sounding somewhat indignant.
The leader put down his teacup: "No, today's events are all my fault."
"Sigh... Good to know, but don't tell me this."
"Although I cannot understand the cultivators of your era, once you ascend to immortality, our cooperative relationship should come to an end."
"If you really want to keep that little genius in check—"
As they spoke, a spark appeared in the air beside the leader, which then transformed into an extremely dazzling flame.
As the flames surged and intertwined, a blurry yet majestic figure gradually emerged in the light. The flames seemed to come alive, dancing and entwining nimbly, eventually merging together in an incredible way to form a neutral flame creature.
Its skin is crystal clear, as if it were formed from the purest flames, yet it does not feel hot at all, but instead exudes a warm and peaceful aura.
Di Yan poured himself a cup of tea and chuckled, "This martial arts contest for marriage, I'll take it on?"
"After all, I'm different from other people."
The leader put down his teacup and stared at her intently.
Chapter 505 When did Emperor Yan arrive?
Emperor Flame?
Lin Ye had just left the sect's gate when he suddenly sensed a faint aura.
He was very familiar with this aura, and he had been longing for the owner of this aura for a long time.
Di Yan had just teleported over; otherwise, Lin Ye would have noticed her presence much earlier. Although Lin Ye was surprised, he did not lose his composure, as the leader's background was already quite mysterious.
'Di Yan is actually a free person, and was not refined by the leader... It seems she is also at the first stage of the Tribulation?'
'However, the temperature during the Tribulation Transcending Stage is much lower than that of a Quasi-Emperor.'
'But...she couldn't have been reborn from the Star Alliance era, could she...? Sis? When did you arrive?'
'I spoke with Sister Di Yan six months ago, unless she died in battle during this time!'
In a flash, Lin Ye's mind raced, and he felt it was unlikely.
Once the Daozi Ranking is settled, I will go to the Star Alliance and inquire with Zu Dan in person.
He shook his head slightly and then walked towards the mountain gate.
The words are divided into two parts.
At this moment, three Mahayana cultivators—the Lord of Changsheng Island, Emperor Xia, and Heavenly Witch—are heading towards the leader's family together.
Just now, the leader left the three of them behind. After discussing it, they felt that this matter couldn't be ignored.
The three went to the leader's mountain gate again to pay their respects, hoping she would explain things clearly.
The three are of similar cultivation level and have known each other for a long time. No matter who becomes the next leader, the other two can barely accept it.
I just ask that you don't support Lin Ye!
The three rode on colorful clouds and arrived at the leader's mountain gate.
"Wait..." The Lord of Changsheng Island suddenly stopped the other two, his eyes wide.
At this moment, Lin Ye had just come out of the chief's house.
He looked up and met the three of them in silence.
The three of them were stunned as they floated in the sky... They had thought the worst-case scenario would be being turned away at the leader's door.
Unexpectedly, there were situations even worse than being turned away.
The leader abandoned the three of them and went home, all so he could meet Lin Ye!
Leader, you...you're not really going to support a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to take over, are you? Why!
What's worse is that Lin Ye's aura looks really strong; I've never seen a Nascent Soul cultivator with such thick and terrifying blood and qi.
Tianwu said in a deep voice, "Lin Ye!"
Lin Ye: "Who are you? Who are you guys?"
The three were furious!
To make matters worse, Lin Ye pretended not to know them!
The three of them gritted their teeth and introduced themselves to Lin Ye. They were all veteran members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and were all regional overlords.
Lin Ye nodded; in a sense, he really didn't know these three people.
He had learned about the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in history, and there were three Mahayana stages in the original history.
However, it wasn't these three people.
......
Lin Ye had previously noticed that the scarcity of cultivation techniques in this era was slightly better than he had anticipated.
After investigation, Lin Ye discovered that a basic cultivation technique widely circulated on the Yao Guang Continent looked very familiar, called "Qing Yu Lu".
This is a cultivation technique from the Qingyang Sect, dating back 100,000 years.
Needless to say!
