A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

After Jian Qing'er introduced them to each other.

Ye Yun and the other two bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Senior Long Xin!"

Compared to his name Jian Wuyai, he is more widely known on the continent by his title – Dragon Heart Sword Emperor.

The title used here is a respectful way of addressing Jian Wuyai.

Upon learning their identities, Jian Wuyai scrutinized the three men with great interest.

"So it was you guys..."

He glanced at Hong Xian'er, smiled, and asked.

"Hongxian'er... I didn't expect you to have grown up so much in the blink of an eye."

"How has your master been these past few years?"

As fellow Emperor-level cultivators and regional overlords, they had all had some contact with each other.

Hong Xian'er nodded quickly and smiled respectfully.

"My master is very kind. When she came this time, she asked me to pay her respects to the senior on her behalf."

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuyai smiled faintly.

"Come to think of it, it's been quite a few years since I've seen her."

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit your ancient holy land."

Hong Xian'er smiled and replied.

"That would be a great honor, and I'm sure Master would be very pleased."

"Haha, no problem, no problem."

Jian Wuyai was a straightforward person, without much of the airs of an Emperor-level expert.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jian Wuyai's gaze fell on Ye Yun, and he chuckled softly.

"Ye Yun, right? You really are just as rumored, exceptionally talented and handsome."

Compared to the Moon Wheel Saint Lord of the past, the sense of oppression brought by Jian Wuyai was much less.

Of course, a big reason for this might be that he didn't abduct the other party's daughter, Jian Qing'er.

Otherwise, this one would probably be just as terrifying as the Moon Wheel Saint Lord back then...

Despite this, Ye Yun remained quite modest, cupping his fists and smiling.

"Senior, you flatter me. In terms of talent, I am no match for Miss Jian."

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er said with a smug look on her face.

"Did you hear that? Even people say I have extremely high talent!"

Seeing this, Jian Wuyai glanced at her helplessly.

I thought to myself, "My silly girl, they're just being polite to you, and you actually took it seriously?"

On the surface, however, he did not say anything about his daughter, but simply sighed and echoed her sentiments.

"Yes, yes, Qing'er, you're the best."

Seeing his gentle demeanor, Ye Yun and the other two seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems the rumors were true; the Dragon Heart Sword Emperor, who had a daughter late in life, indeed doted on her immensely.

Afterwards, Jian Wuyai glanced at Fei Qingluo and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You are... the revered elder of the Ancient Path Holy Land, Fei Qingluo, right?"

Fei Qinglu smiled and nodded, cupping her hands in greeting.

"It is indeed I, the junior, who is grateful that you remember me, senior!"

Jian Wuyai looked him over and nodded.

"Not bad, it seems you have quite a bit of luck, reaching the Imperial Dao realm so quickly."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to the Emperor rank in the future."

In terms of age, Fei Qingluo is considered quite formidable among cultivators at the Imperial Dao Realm.

They are among the few who have a chance to reach the Emperor rank.

Fei Qinglu sighed softly at this.

"The Emperor rank... is far too far away. I hope you will grant my wish."

"Advancing to the Emperor rank isn't as difficult as you think; confidence is an essential element."

Jian Wuyai smiled faintly and offered a word of comfort.

Upon hearing this, Fei Qingluo nodded.

"Yes, I've got it!"

Ye Yun, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised as he listened to their conversation.

Good heavens, this Elder Fei really has connections all over the world; even the Dragon Heart Sword Emperor knows her.

It seems that Elder Fei had an extraordinary past...

"Alright, let's stop with the small talk."

Jian Wuyai glanced at his daughter beside him and asked.

"Qing'er, what brings you here at this hour?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er remembered that she had important business to attend to and quickly replied.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot!"

She looked at her father, Jian Wuyai, and quickly explained.

"Father, they just told me something..."

Jian Qing'er recounted to her father what Ye Yun had said.

During this time, Ye Yun also filled in the gaps in her explanation.

After he finished speaking, Jian Wuyai's expression gradually changed from warm to serious.

"Such a thing actually exists, the Ascension Cult..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he said coldly.

"No wonder something felt off; it turns out you were waiting for me here."

From the very beginning of this battle for the title of leader, he sensed that something was amiss.

However, he had not been able to find any evidence, but the information provided by Ye Yun helped him resolve his doubts.

But at the same time, he looked at Ye Yun with some doubt and asked.

"Where did you get this classified information?"

Logically speaking, such information should not have reached the mouth of an outsider like Ye Yun.

Ye Yun scratched his head and explained.

"I obtained this information from one of the elders at the Foundation Establishment Realm by infiltrating the Ascension Sect's territory last night."

This answer startled Jian Wuyai.

"With your cultivation level, are you really capable of doing such a thing?"

Although the peak of the extraordinary realm is already quite strong, it is still difficult to infiltrate a base guarded by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm or even the Imperial Realm.

This is almost impossible...

Ye Yun smiled and said, "With my own strength alone, I naturally have no chance."

"However, I have a magical artifact that can assist in infiltration, which is why I was given this opportunity."

As for the specific magic weapon, Ye Yun did not reveal it.

Although the Jian family is considered a reputable sect, they are still outsiders, so we should hold back a little.

Fortunately, Jian Wuyai did not press the matter further and nodded approvingly.

"I see. Well then, you did a great job. This intelligence is extremely important to our Jian family!"

If it weren't for Ye Yun's notification, the Ascension Sect might have actually succeeded.

After all, during the battle for the title of leader, everyone's attention is inevitably focused on the battle itself.

In such a situation, if the Jian family were to be suddenly attacked by a powerful force, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Most importantly, Jian Qing'er might be in danger.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Jian Qing'er frowned and asked, pursing her lips.

"Those guys dared to treat us like this? Why don't we just go and wipe them out!"

From a certain perspective, Jian Qing'er is quite a ruthless character.

In her view, it was necessary to nip it in the bud!

However, Ye Yun immediately shook his head.

"Miss Qing'er, this absolutely cannot be done!"

Jian Qing'er was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment before explaining.

"If we act beforehand, even if we succeed, the Ascension Sect might send more people."

"At that point, the enemy will be in the dark while we are in the light, and we might not be able to defend against them at all."

"Besides, we cannot rule out the possibility that the vice leader of the Ascension Sect may possess the sect leader's teleportation scroll."

After all, teleportation scrolls are not a patent of their Ancient Holy Land.

I've saved my life several times thanks to this thing.

Those cultivators of the Ascension Sect might not necessarily lack them.

If a battle between two emperors were to take place, it would be equally disadvantageous for Jian Wuyai, and it would be even more troublesome if he were to get injured.

Jian Wuyai nodded in agreement with his account.

"That's right. Taking direct action is too risky and could lead to uncontrollable consequences."

Seeing that this wasn't working, Jian Qing'er felt somewhat lost.

"But if we don't take action, we can't just sit and wait for them to attack, can we?"

"Good...we'll just have to wait for them to attack!"

Jian Wuyai narrowed his eyes, seemingly having an idea, and sneered.

"Aren't they trying to cause trouble here while I'm away?"

"In that case, I'll give them a surprise and treat them well!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er asked curiously.

"Father, do you have a solution?"

"That's right, you don't need to worry about this."

Jian Wuyai smiled faintly, looking very confident.

That's normal. As a powerful Emperor-level expert, it would be too easy for him to plan and deal with cultivators weaker than himself.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded in agreement.

"In that case, we can rest assured."

Anyway, they've done all they can to help now.

Even knowing about the Ascension Sect's actions beforehand, things still went wrong.

That just means the Jian family is indeed unworthy of its name and doesn't need to be the leader of the alliance anymore.

At this moment, Jian Wuyai glanced at Ye Yun and the other two and smiled.

"The three of you have done my Jian family a great favor this time. We now owe you, the Ancient Holy Land, a huge debt of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled modestly.

"It's nothing. We were just here to broaden our horizons and observe the battle for the alliance leader. This was all just something we did incidentally!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuyai seemed to realize something.

"You've come to watch my battle?"

Ye Yun nodded.

"That's right, exactly!"

"Since that's the case, how about this?"

Jian Wuyai smiled and said.

"The three of you stay here and let Qing'er entertain you properly, as a way of showing the Jian family the hospitality of the land!"

This invitation left Ye Yun and his two companions looking at each other in bewilderment.

"this……"

Seeing their hesitant expressions.

Jian Wuyai shook his head and explained.

"Don't worry, you can go to the battle site in advance before the final battle in a few days. You don't need to stay here all the time."

After this explanation, Ye Yun and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason they hesitated just now was indeed because they were worried about this.

If they stay here, and the Jian family fails to deal with the Ascension Sect, they will be forced to join the war.

Seeing that he had explained the matter clearly, Ye Yun smiled and said.

"In that case, we shall accept it without further ado."

After all, with the Chen family watching them from the outside, they needed to be on guard at all times, which was exhausting.

Within the Jian family, as long as one leaves in time, there shouldn't be any problems.

Upon seeing this, Jian Qing'er smiled and said warmly.

"Great! I'll take you there right away and help you arrange accommodations!"

Jian Qing'er was exceptionally enthusiastic when entertaining guests, which seemed to be related to her lively personality.

"Wait, there's something else I'd like to ask you, senior."

Ye Yun looked at Jian Wuyai, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"Senior, could you please find me a few materials? I only need one of them!"
