Master, when can I become your wife?

Looking at the twelve peak masters sitting in the main hall, Wu Tianqiong felt that he had truly failed as the sect leader.

Of these twelve, none of them were at his beck and call, including Ye Junze.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the position of sect leader has been passed down many times, but among the twelve peak masters before us, only Ye Junze is a new one.

To be honest, the fact that these eleven people came is already a great honor for him, the sect leader.

"It's not a big deal that I called you all here this time. It's because the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace said he wants to have an exchange match with our Dao Seeking Sect. The location is the Heavenly Demon Palace, so I'm asking who among you is willing to lead the team there."

Ye Wuyou raised an eyebrow. "That's really not a big deal. Just send Ye Junze over. He happens to have some connections with the witch of the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Ye Junze: "Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Although her cultivation is a bit higher than yours, well... it seems she's really not up to the task. But it's alright, isn't there some pills Danqing gave you? Taking pills isn't shameful!"

Ye Wuyou patted Ye Junze on the shoulder.

Ye Junze's face darkened. He felt that he might know why Ye Wuyou was wanted by the Demon Emperor.

This guy probably took the pills to the Demon Emperor and told him he was no good and needed to take his medicine.

Wu Tianqiong's gaze fell on Ye Junze.

Ye Junze met his gaze.

He saw three parts expectation, three parts gratitude, three parts nervousness, and one part pleading in Wu Tianqiong's eyes.

Clearly, this guy was more than happy to hear him agree.

After all, the others might not necessarily give him face.

Ye Junze sighed helplessly. What else could he do now that things had come to this?

Of course, the answer is no!

"I'm not going!"

"What a joke! Why did they choose the Heavenly Demon Palace as the location? If they want to have an exchange match, then let them come and fight. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that our Dao Seeking Sect has to act according to the Heavenly Demon Palace's wishes!"

"Yeah, why did you choose the Heavenly Demon Palace as the location? How can you, as the sect leader, be so incompetent? You're not even as sensible as a child."

Ye Wuyou immediately looked at Wu Tianqiong.

Wu Tianqiong: "..."

Damn, that actually makes sense!

So why did I agree back then?

Wu Tianqiong frowned as he recalled the situation at that time. Back then, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace sent an envoy to deliver a message.

Then, the afterimage of the Heavenly Demon Palace Master appeared and told him about the upcoming exchange competition.

And then he agreed...

Hey!

The Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace, relying on his high cultivation level, used bewitching techniques on him!

Thinking of this, Wu Tianqiong couldn't help but curse inwardly.

That woman is no good!

If Ye Junze hadn't said those words, he still wouldn't have been able to process what was happening, and would have even taken it for granted.

"It's alright, I'll go make the arrangements."

Wu Tianqiong's face was ashen, but he couldn't hide his embarrassment.

He, the dignified sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect, was tricked without even realizing it. Isn't that incredibly shameful?

"Tch~"

The peak masters scoffed dismissively, then rose and disappeared from the council hall.

"What happened?"

Ye Junze looked at Wu Tianqiong, who had also disappeared, with some confusion.

Ye Wuyou explained, "What else could it be? He felt embarrassed, but I think he was tricked by that old woman."

"..."

Ye Junze immediately understood who the old woman Ye Wuyou was talking about was.

Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Unlike the sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect, the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace has only been replaced once since the establishment of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Judging from the way she's addressed, this "old woman" should be on the same level as Ye Wuyou.

So... Wu Tianqiong was probably tricked by the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace without his knowledge?

Ye Junze shook his head helplessly. The strength of these big shots was truly terrifying; even Wu Tianqiong was tricked without realizing it.

"Dragon Thousand Leaves from the Heavenly Demon Realm requests an audience!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Dao Asking Sect.

People from Tianyao City have arrived.

I heard that sound.

Ye Junze could roughly guess the purpose of the other party's visit.

"What's going on? Why are there people from the Heavenly Demon Realm again?"

Wu Tianqiong returned to the council hall and asked with a frown.

Could it be that Ye Junze did something bad in Tianyao City before?

That shouldn't be the case.

Even if they did it, at most they would just issue a warrant for Ye Junze's arrest in the Heavenly Demon Realm; they wouldn't actually come knocking on his door.

"Look what your son has done."

Ye Junze casually replied that there was a more than 90% chance that Long Qianye had come for Long Xiao.

However, it came so soon after only a little over a year, which was somewhat unexpected.

"What?"

Wu Tianqiong was a little confused. He hadn't really paid attention to his not-so-bright eldest son during this time.

What good deed did you do to attract such attention?

"Never mind, I'll go take a look."

Ye Junze shook his head and left the council hall on his sword.

At this moment, we seek guidance outside the Dao Sect.

Because of the sect's protective formation, Long Qianye was unable to enter.

Fortunately, someone arrived soon.

An elder frowned as he looked at Long Qianye. "From the Heavenly Demon Realm? What are you doing here at our Dao Seeking Sect?"

Long Qianye immediately said, "According to the location data, our Demon Emperor's son is currently in your Dao Seeking Sect."

When they first heard the news, they thought Long Xiao had been kidnapped.

But after thinking about it again, it seems unlikely.

The Dao Asking Sect gained absolutely nothing from kidnapping Long Xiao, and what kind of kidnapper would remain completely silent after holding him hostage for so long?

"The son of the Demon Emperor?"

The elder of the Dao Asking Sect was taken aback. Indeed, there had been a member of the Dragon Clan climbing the tower and playing in the Peak Battlefield every day recently at the Divine Battle Peak.

Is that guy the son of the Demon Emperor?

No!

How could the son of the Demon Emperor have infiltrated their Dao Seeking Sect without a word?

He thought it was a newly accepted disciple of one of the sect's peak masters.

"this……"

The elder sighed and opened the sect's grand formation to let Long Qianye in.

Long Qianye immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you. Please tell me where my young master is at this moment."

"We should be at God's War Peak now. Let me take you there."

Ye Junze arrived at the place on his sword and spoke to Long Qianye.

"Thank you, young friend."

Long Qianye nodded immediately.

Seeing this, the elder was relieved and said, "Then, Peak Master Ye, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Um."

Soon, Ye Junze brought Long Qianye to the Divine Battle Peak.

"Your young master has been here recently, either climbing the Peak Tower, fighting in the Peak Battlefield, or the Peak Arena. He should still be inside. Please wait a moment."

That year, under Wu Lingxiao's guidance, Long Xiao became completely immersed in the three modes.

"Yes, thank you."

Long Qianye nodded and looked up at the Peak Tower.

Soon, he saw his young master Long Xiao's name on the leaderboard.

On the 981st floor of the Peak Tower, Long Xiao is ranked seventh.

In the peak battlefield, Longxiao ranked eighty-eighth in points.

In the Peak Arena, Longxiao ranks ninety-sixth in points.

Seeing this ranking, Long Qianye couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

As expected of the young master!

They've only been here a short time, yet they're already on the list. If given a little more time, ranking first shouldn't be too difficult for them.

Unfortunately, the Demon Emperor sent him to take the young master back.
