After leaving the Jian family, Ye Yun quickly disappeared into the crowd on the street.

In the days leading up to the battle for the title of Alliance Leader, the city became increasingly lively.

But now, the day before the battle for the alliance leader, the entire city has become unusually quiet.

It was like the calm before the storm.

Ye Yun looked up at the sky, where oppressive dark clouds were drifting by.

A chilly wind blew by, making people shiver involuntarily.

There were significantly fewer pedestrians on the street compared to the previous few days.

Looking around, Ye Yun took a deep breath, lost in thought.

"It really does feel like a storm is brewing."

The outcome of this battle will directly affect the power structure of the Northern Continent for the next century, and even longer.

It may also relate to the future direction of the entire continent...

"Senior Nangong, I'm still a little worried, what should I do?"

His left eyelid had been twitching since earlier, which bothered him.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian said calmly.

"Haven't you prepared everything perfectly? What else are you worried about?"

She took the matter very lightly.

Having lived for so many years, I have witnessed far too many changes in power, victories and defeats, rises and falls.

Therefore, even though the Jian family suffered a defeat this time, Nangong Jiutian didn't think much of it; it was just a historical pattern.

But Ye Yun was different; he still cared quite a bit about the success or failure of this mission.

Then, he frowned and asked.

"What if that Jade Snow Fairy really manages to gather all the materials?"

Although they had delayed their return as much as possible, they had compressed the time it would take for Fairy Jade Snow to refine her magic weapon.

However, it's hard to guarantee that the other party's tempering process won't be too short, thus genuinely helping them.

In response, Nangong Jiutian asked leisurely.

"So? What are you planning to do?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"I'm wondering if it's possible to do something to the Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Flower?"

Destroying it directly is not feasible; he is hoping to take it with him in exchange for some important information.

So the only hope is to tamper with this thing and rip off the other party.

Nangong Jiutian understood his meaning and thought for a moment before speaking.

"If you want to trick the other party, it's not too difficult."

As someone who used to be somewhat of a comedian, Nangong Jiutian naturally had some special methods at his disposal.

She just doesn't have the opportunity to use it normally, which doesn't mean she can't.

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked curiously.

"Oh? Tell me more!"

Nangong Jiutian smiled and said slowly.

"It's simple, you just need to do this..."

After listening to the other party's story, even Ye Yun couldn't help but show a strange expression.

"Wow, is this even possible? Hopefully she won't find out?"

He had reason to believe that if the other party found out, he would suffer a terrible fate.

Nangong Jiutian seemed quite confident about this and smiled.

"Don't worry, unless that woman is like me, she won't be able to detect these tricks."

Nangong Jiutian was extremely confident in his ability to manipulate others.

She was a well-known entertainer on the mainland a long time ago.

Among those he manipulated were quite a few Emperor-level cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction and remarked with admiration.

"Sure, but it's a bit too mean."

Nangong Jiutian chuckled and asked indifferently.

"Just tell me, are you going to do it or not?"

"Sit down, that's a must!"

Without hesitation, Ye Yun nodded happily.

It would be a real shame not to use such a great method.

Ye Yun immediately found a place.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a jade box, inside which was the Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Flower.

Ye Yun placed the jade box on the ground, then took out a Night Pill and crushed it into powder.

After that, he used the refining method provided by Nangong Jiutian.

What Ye Yun needed to do was very simple: to gradually refine the medicinal power of the pill into the Thousand-Year-Old Netherworld Flower.

At that time, the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower and the One-Night Pill will merge into one, making them extremely difficult to detect.

In this situation, if the other party uses it for weapon crafting, once this power is fused into the weapon...

So it won't show up normally, but once you fully activate the magic weapon, the medicinal power of the One Night Pill will be released.

At that time, it will silently flow into the user's body through the circulating profound energy...

Imagine a powerful empress, under the spotlight of thousands during the battle for supremacy, being affected by the effects of a one-night pill.

"Tsk tsk, this looks like it's going to be very interesting."

Ye Yun smiled slightly and slowly infused the medicinal power into the medicine.

Although the whole process requires great care and concentration, and there must be no leaks.

But Ye Yun didn't feel tired at all; he only felt excited.

This fully demonstrates that people do not feel tired when doing bad things...

Several hours later, it was almost midnight.

Ye Yun then successfully fused the Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Flower with the One-Night Pill, and the two were reluctant to part.

"Phew, it's finally finished!"

Ye Yun looked at the Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Pool Flower in front of him, which was exactly the same as before, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Because the medicinal properties of the One Night Pill are colorless and odorless, unless one is as knowledgeable as Ye Yun, no one can detect them.

Of course, Ye Yun believed that given the other party's status, it was impossible for them to be researching such aphrodisiac drugs.

"Next, we will give it to that Jade Snow Fairy."

Ye Yun smiled slightly, put away the jade box, and then stood up.

He glanced at the night sky above and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, it's time to get going!"

Now that everything was ready, Ye Yun headed straight for the Ascension Sect's headquarters outside the city.

He quickly covered the distance of two hundred miles.

After revealing his identity, Ye Yun easily blended in.

As soon as he arrived, he sensed that something was amiss; the atmosphere at the entire camp was rather strange.

To be precise, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and very quiet, as if something had just happened.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not very pleasant.

Just then, a familiar female voice came from beside me.

"Muhe? Why are you only just getting back!"

Ye Yun was taken aback for a moment, wondering who he was calling.

But he quickly realized that this was his disguised identity.

Ye Yun quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and unsurprisingly, it was Bi Feng, the elder of the Ascension Sect with whom he had met once before.

Immediately, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he called out softly.

"I'm so sorry, sister. I've traveled a long way and my cultivation level is low, so it took me a while."

Upon hearing this, Bifeng sized up Ye Yun.

After looking at it and confirming that there were no problems, he nodded.

"Are you going to find those materials?"

When Ye Yun left last time, he looked full of fighting spirit. I didn't expect him to only come back now.

If the other party hadn't rushed back, she would have planned to find time to talk to the vice leader.

After all, the other party knows about their actions against the Jian family, so it's better to make a temporary change just to be on the safe side.

But now that we're back, there's no need to bother.

"Yes, since it's my sister's business, then it's naturally my business too!"

Ye Yun grinned, looking quite sincere.

After saying that, he looked around and asked curiously.

"But what's going on around here? Everyone seems so downcast."

Before getting down to business, he was more curious about the situation of the people around him.

Speaking of this, Bifeng couldn't help but sigh softly and explained it to him.

"You just got back, so you probably don't know yet, but Senior Yuxue came by earlier."

"Because we didn't gather all the materials, that senior gave us all a severe scolding."

"She felt that it was because we were incompetent that we failed to gather all the necessary materials."

Although in her opinion, it was unrealistic to find so many rare materials in such a short time.

It is completely unreasonable to criticize them for this.

But there was nothing they could do; that senior was an Emperor-level expert, so they had no choice but to endure whatever harshness was imposed upon them.

The vice leader, in particular, was thoroughly humiliated.

And when the vice-leader was reprimanded, he naturally had to reprimand those below him as well.

As a result, everyone at the base was stunned.

"Is that so..."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly; this was a good feeling.

If we can get the materials out, we'll get credit.

At the same time, it wouldn't actually help Fairy Yuxue, so that's undoubtedly the best way.

In any case, he can accept either outcome.

He immediately asked a question out of curiosity.

"So, what materials are still missing?"

Upon hearing this, Bifeng pondered for a moment.

"Actually, there's only one difference."

"Hmm? Just one more one is missing?"

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, the Ascension Sect was more capable than he had imagined.

In a short period of time, they actually managed to gather most of the rare materials, only missing one.

Judging from this, the Ascension Sect is much larger than I imagined.

I just don't know what the last one that's missing is.

At this moment, Bifeng sighed softly.

"Yes, it's missing that one Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower."

She had actually found relevant information, saying that someone had a thousand-year-old Youtan Flower.

However, it was given to someone else as a gift a long time ago.

If she had more time, she planned to follow this line of investigation and eventually find out who the final owner was.

As long as the other party hasn't used it, it's not difficult to obtain it.

Unfortunately, time was too tight, and it was impossible to find out the end.

But after listening, Ye Yun fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, he felt incredibly fortunate for the decision he had made earlier, which was to tamper with the Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Pool Flower.

Therefore, Ye Yun had no scruples at this moment.

Seeing the other person's sullen expression, he simply coughed lightly.

"Um... Sister, if it is a Thousand-Year-Old Ghostly Pool Flower, then that's quite a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Bifeng was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Then, Ye Yun took out a jade box, opened it, and revealed its contents.

"Sister, take a look, is this it?"

"Um?"

Bifeng looked in confusion at the black flower inside the jade box, which exuded a cold aura.

Immediately, the expression on her face turned to astonishment, and she looked at Ye Yun in disbelief and asked.

"Where...where did you get such a thousand-year-old Ghost Flower?!"

Seeing her excited expression, Ye Yun scratched his head and pretended to be shy.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just asked a few friends in the materials industry to help me look for it."

"Then, I found it from an old friend."

Although his reason was weak, the problem was that the goods were already in front of him.

Bifeng's main concern was entirely focused on the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower in front of her.

After carefully picking it up and examining it thoroughly inside and out.

After confirming that everything was alright, she was finally overcome with excitement and hugged Ye Yun tightly.

"Muhe! You've really done a great job this time!"

In an instant, Ye Yun felt himself being embraced in a soft and fragrant embrace.

"Oh? Really?"

Ye Yun blinked, looking completely innocent.

"Of course it's true! You did a fantastic job this time!"

Bifeng looked at the person in her arms and smiled sweetly.

"Hurry, I'll take you to see the Vice Leader right now!"

After saying that, she took his hand and headed straight for another part of the camp.

Meanwhile, in another meeting room, the vice-leader and several high-ranking members of the cult sat at a table.

The expressions on their faces were not exactly pleasant; they could be described as if their parents had died.

The group looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but speak.

"What do we do now? We haven't gathered all the materials. If Senior Yuxue loses, the sect leader will definitely be furious."

If they win later, that's fine, but if they lose, they'll definitely have to take the blame.

At that time, we will also have to face the wrath of the cult leader.

The vice-leader responded with a gloomy face and annoyance.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? How could I possibly know what to do about something like this?"

"Either we pray that Senior Yuxue can win, or we find the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower right now."

Although they planned to take action against the Jian family immediately after the start of the battle for the leader of the alliance.

However, it will take some time to completely control the Jian family and even capture Jian Qing'er.

Battles between Emperor-level powerhouses are ever-changing.

If Jian Wuyai defeats Senior Yuxue before they take down the Jian family, they'll become a laughingstock.

"this……"

Everyone fell silent.

The Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower isn't actually that hard to find.

The problem is, time is too tight!

Only a few hours remain before the battle for the leader begins.

It's impossible for a thousand-year-old Hidden Pool Flower to magically appear out of thin air before this.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud shout came from nearby.

"Vice Leader! The Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower has been found!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall paused for a moment and turned to look at the door.

The first thing that came into view was Bifeng, who had brought Ye Yun with her.

She was holding Ye Yun's hand with one hand and a jade box in the other.

Lying quietly among them was none other than the thousand-year-old Youtan Flower that they had been longing for!

"this……"

Everyone stood up at once.

The vice-leader, who was in charge, suddenly appeared and snatched the jade box from his hand.

Then, he took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

"It really is... the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower!"

Once it was confirmed that it was indeed the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower, he looked at Bifeng in disbelief and asked.

"Where did you come from?"

Who would have thought things would come to this?

The Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower could actually be found.

Doesn't this mean they were lectured for nothing?

At this moment, Bifeng did not rush to finish the work, but turned to look at the person next to her and smiled.

"This thousand-year-old secluded flower was brought back by him just now."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ye Yun.

When they saw that he was only at the Life and Death Realm, they were somewhat surprised.

The vice leader, however, was taken aback when he saw Ye Yun and asked a question.

"Hey kid, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Hearing this, Ye Yun felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly to remind him.

"Vice Leader, you must have a bad memory. I am Mu He, the one who delivered the blood crystal to you a few days ago."

"You sent blood crystals?"

The vice-leader was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"So it was you."

These past few days, I've been so busy helping Senior Yuxue find materials that I've been completely overwhelmed.

No wonder this person looked familiar.

At the same time, he still felt a little strange.

"Wait, why do I feel like I've seen him before...?"

Moreover, it's not just when delivering blood crystals.

But soon, his attention was drawn to the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Flower in his hand.

After looking at it for a while, he looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"This thousand-year-old secluded flower, where did you come from?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked over curiously.

After all, they had searched for so long without finding it, only to have it brought back by a junior at the Life and Death Realm.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun had no choice but to reiterate the origin he had just explained to Bi Feng.

"It was lucky, really. This thing was a treasure from the clan of an old friend of mine."

"Yes, it belongs to the family heirloom; outsiders don't know about it."

However, this reason was not quite enough to convince everyone present.

The vice-leader frowned slightly and asked him a question.

"This thousand-year-old secluded flower is so precious, and it's a family heirloom. How could they be willing to give it to you?"

Ye Yun scratched his head and explained.

"Mainly because, by chance, I had saved the other person once before."

"So when they heard I needed this, they just asked for it from the tribe."

With this addition, Ye Yun's explanation became somewhat plausible.

The vice-leader and the others pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I see……"

The others also expressed their approval.

Of course, the most important thing in the end is getting the items back.

In their view, it seemed that their origins were irrelevant.

As long as it's not taken from some sword family, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Muhe, you've done a great job this time!"

At this moment, the vice-leader stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled.

Ye Yun was very eloquent and did not mince words in response to his praise.

However, he then turned to look at Bifeng and smiled.

"I was able to do this thanks to Elder Bifeng's excellent guidance."

"If it weren't for her guidance, I might not have been able to find this Thousand-Year-Old Hidden Pool Flower so quickly."

Sometimes, it can be more beneficial to proactively share a portion of a great achievement.

Otherwise, others will only look at you with envy, jealousy, and even try to trip you up.

Upon hearing this, the vice sect leader glanced at Bi Feng and smiled approvingly.

"Elder Bi, you did a good job this time."

Bi Feng chuckled softly and cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's nothing, I'm just doing this for the church."

The vice-leader nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"Tell me, Muhe, what reward do you want?"
