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

After listening, Jiang Taiyi pondered for a long time before nodding.

"Indeed... if what you say is true, then the Ascension Sect is a huge hidden danger."

"Never in thousands of years has there been such a large evil cultivation force on the mainland."

In the past, a heretical sect could at most wreak havoc on a local area.

And soon, it will be destroyed under the siege of all sides.

However, the situation of the Ascension Sect is clearly extraordinary, as it is able to interfere in the affairs between different continents.

This is no longer an ordinary evil cultivation force; we must take decisive action!

Ye Yun nodded and said seriously.

"That's right, so we want to get rid of it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taiyi asked curiously.

"How do you plan to deal with this?"

"Well... it's still under investigation for now."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment before explaining.

"As I just mentioned, we took action against them once, but it turns out that Fengbo City is not their true headquarters."

"Right now... we are still searching for the location of its true headquarters."

There was one more thing he didn't say: there was about to be a breakthrough in this matter.

After all, Bi Feng, whom they captured this time, knew the true location of the Ascension Sect's headquarters.

The next step is to pry this information out of her...

Jiang Taiyi pondered for a moment, then smiled at him.

"In that case, if there are any further breakthroughs and you are preparing to take action against the Ascension Sect, you can send someone to contact me."

"At that time, I will personally intervene and help you deal with the Ascension Sect!"

These words surprised Ye Yun and the others.

"really?"

This doesn't mean sending someone to help; it means taking matters into my own hands!

Jiang Taiyi smiled and nodded in response.

"Of course, I always keep my word!"

"Thank you very much, senior!"

Ye Yun's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that this trip to the Northern Continent would bring him two Emperor-level helpers.

Hong Xian'er, who was standing beside him, was also very pleased. Now they were undoubtedly more confident in dealing with the Ascension Sect!

Jian Wuyai, however, was somewhat surprised and looked at him, asking a question.

"I say, aren't you usually someone who doesn't meddle in other people's business? You weren't this enthusiastic during the previous campaigns against evil cultivators."

There's a reason why Jiang Taiyi is known as the most cunning Emperor-level expert in the Northern Continent.

On the one hand, they have a lot of ways to protect themselves; on the other hand, they never get involved in things that have nothing to do with themselves or the Jiang family.

Jiang Taiyi didn't respond to his teasing, but instead shook his head.

"I am doing this simply to accumulate as much good karma as possible before I pass away."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Even Jian Wuyai was slightly taken aback.

"Approaching death? How many years do you have left?"

When this was mentioned, Jiang Taiyi sighed softly.

"Sigh, not much time left, only about ten years."

"ten years……"

Jian Wuyai frowned.

Although some outsiders had long suspected that the patriarch of the Jiang family was nearing the end of his life.

But he didn't expect it to happen so quickly...

Ten years may sound like a long time, but for cultivators, especially high-level cultivators like them, it's just a blink of an eye.

Sometimes, a period of seclusion can last for ten years.

Ye Yun and the others nearby exchanged glances and sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for the situation.

Ye Yun, in particular, couldn't help but look up at the sky when he heard the words "lifespan".

If I fail to break through the seal of heaven and earth, I might end up like him someday in the future...

With this in mind, Ye Yun's resolve became even stronger.

At the same time, Jian Wuyai remained silent for a moment before asking.

"What about your affairs after you pass away?"

"Those things have been prepared long ago."

Jiang Taiyi smiled faintly and teased him.

"In the remaining years, I originally planned to travel around some more and find something to do."

"Now that I can do one more good deed for the mainland before I die, I can say that I have died a worthy death."

Judging from his appearance, he is quite carefree.

Come to think of it, after all, we've lived for thousands of years, so we should be able to accept life and death.

Jian Wuyai nodded slightly, his tone much calmer.

"That's fine too."

Then, as if remembering something, Jiang Taiyi said something to Jian Wuyai.

"Alliance Leader, if I am no longer here, I hope you will protect the Jiang family for a while."

As the only Emperor-level expert in the Jiang family, if he were to fall...

It is foreseeable that the remaining clans of the alliance will immediately devour the Jiang family like vultures.

That's why he agreed to help Jian Wuyai—to secure a future for the Jiang family.

In response to his request, Jian Wuyai replied solemnly.

"Mr. Jiang, please rest assured."

"As long as I am here, I will not let anything happen to the Jiang family until a new emperor appears."

He did not indicate that he would continue to protect them indefinitely; he wouldn't even dare to say that to the Jian family, let alone the Jiang family.

But as long as a new emperor appears, the Jiang family can regain its footing, and no one dares to offend them easily.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taiyi nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, that's enough."

He didn't really expect Jian Wuyai to protect the Jiang family forever.

Even the kindness shown today will eventually have to be repaid.

"Alright, then I'll head back now."

Jiang Taiyi smiled faintly, then glanced at the large pit nearby and coughed lightly.

"As for these... please handle them yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance, as if afraid that Jian Wuyai would come after him for compensation.

Seeing this, Jian Wuyai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That old guy..."

But regardless, the other party did help him a lot this time.

As for the damage within the mansion, it was within his expectations.

Anyway, the buildings can be rebuilt, as long as the Jian family members are not harmed.

At the same time, Ye Yun glanced around at the empty mansion and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"By the way... Senior Sword, has everyone in the Sword family moved out?"

Jian Wuyai shook his head and said with a smile.

"Of course not, that would be too obvious and easily discovered by the Ascension Cult cultivators who are keeping an eye on us."

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise.

"Huh? Then who are they...?"

Then, Jian Wuyai pointed to the ground.

"They're all down there."

Ye Yun asked in surprise.

"You hid them all underground?"

"That's right."

Jian Wuyai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and explained.

"The Jian family has been too conspicuous these past few years, and I have long worried that something bad might happen to them."

"So a refuge space was specially reserved in this underground area."

"If a large-scale enemy attack comes, the weaker members of the clan can go there for refuge, thereby reducing losses."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun suddenly understood, looked down at him, and gave him a thumbs up.

"I see."

After saying that, he glanced at Hong Xian'er and smiled.

"I feel that our ancient holy land can learn from this in the future."

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently.

"Is it possible that a similar place existed within our holy land long ago, but you just haven't heard of it?"

This answer truly surprised Ye Yun.

"Huh? Really? How come I didn't know?"

Hong Xian'er's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she let out a soft hum.

"In my opinion, it's because your mind is full of..."

She originally wanted to say that Ye Yun's mind was full of thoughts about dual cultivation with others, and that these were all lewd things.

But as she continued, it seemed she realized there were other people around.

Immediately, she changed the subject and said calmly.

"Anyway, you'll know when you get back."

Ye Yun scratched his head and responded.

"Okay, I'll definitely go check it out when I get back."

Jian Wuyai, standing to the side, watched the two talking and couldn't help but chuckle.

I had heard that Jin Liuli's aloof disciple had actually found a cultivation partner.

He was also curious whether anyone could actually get along well with her.

It seems that the two get along very well and look like a perfect match.

He felt a pang of regret; if Ye Yun were still alone, he would have tried everything to bring him and Qing'er together.

In his eyes, this man was a perfect catch, but unfortunately, he came a little too late…

Then, his attention fell on Bifeng in Fei Qingluo's arms, and he pondered for a moment before asking.

"By the way, kid, are you planning to interrogate this prisoner yourself, or would you like me to do it for you?"

"Well..."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment. If Jian Wuyai were to come, he could indeed obtain information directly through soul searching.

But in this way, all the information I have is secondhand.

In case, in case Jian Wuyai is hiding something, I won't even have a way to verify it.

After all, it's hard to say whether Bifeng will become an idiot after being subjected to such a soul search.

"Senior, I'd like to try it myself first."

Ye Yun looked at Jian Wuyai and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuyai asked in surprise.

"This woman has probably received specialized training. Do you really think you can get her to talk?"

Getting a female cultivator to speak is no easy task.

Even lavish treatment or various forms of humiliation may not be enough to make them speak.

Ye Yun chuckled and said, "Well... I'll try first. If it really doesn't work, then I'll ask you to do it for me, senior."

Since he was a prisoner captured by Ye Yun, Jian Wuyai respected his opinion and nodded.

"Okay, then give it a try."

Hong Xian'er, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed what he was going to do.

"You're not thinking of... again."

Ye Yun nodded, a playful look on his face.

"Of course, it might actually work! Xian'er, would you like to come and take a look?"

Towards the end, they didn't forget to invite Hong Xian'er.

Hong Xian'er shook her head without hesitation.

"No need, you can go by yourself."

"All right."

Ye Yun shrugged and said helplessly.

"I was originally thinking of torturing her while we..."

Judging from this, he's thinking of using a two-pronged approach.

As expected, he was glared at fiercely by Hong Xian'er, whose face was slightly flushed.

"You're dreaming!"

"Okay, okay, I already knew that."

Ye Yun sighed softly and shook his head.

As for Jian Wuyai standing to the side, he looked puzzled, not understanding what the two young people were talking about.

What? Torturing Bifeng while doing something else?

"In that case, I'll go and attend to matters within the clan."

Jian Wuyai glanced at him and smiled faintly.

"If you're going to do this interrogation, just have Qing'er take you to an empty room."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun nodded.

"Understood, senior."

After that, Jian Wuyai also left first.

Now that things are over, it's time to let the people who have taken refuge underground come out.

At the same time, we also need to organize manpower to repair the damaged parts of the mansion.

As for Ye Yun, he found an empty room in the mansion under Jian Qing'er's guidance.

"Young Master Ye, if you wish to interrogate him, you may do so here."

Jian Qing'er pushed open the door and found herself in a spacious room that was fairly clean.

Ye Yun glanced at it and nodded.

"Okay, then let's do it here."

Anyway, we don't need anything extra, so leaving some space is just right.

At this moment, Jian Qing'er asked with a face full of curiosity.

"So, Young Master Ye, how do you plan to interrogate her?"
