Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

Ye Ming smiled and said, "My name is Ye Ming, and I am a rogue cultivator."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Luo Xuan's eyes.

Given the strength Ye Ming has demonstrated, how could he possibly be just a rogue cultivator?

However, he didn't ask any further questions, but instead respectfully said:

"Senior Ye, our sect leader must be very eager to see you. Would you be willing to return to the sect with us?"

Ye Ming was secretly delighted; this was exactly what he wanted.

So he pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well, I happen to be quite interested in your Zixiao Sect as well."

Luo Xuan was overjoyed and quickly led Ye Ming and the other disciples back to Zixiao Peak.

Along the way, Ye Ming discreetly inquired about the situation of the Zixiao Sect.

He learned that the Zixiao Sect was one of the top sects in this world.

The sect leader, True Person Zixiao, possesses extraordinary cultivation and is said to have already reached the threshold of the Mahayana stage.

The leader of the black-clad men whom he had just easily defeated was actually an elder of the Demonic Sect, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Integration Realm.

Luo Xuan and the others revered Ye Ming as a god.

In their view, someone capable of defeating a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator so easily must be at least a peerless master of the Mahayana stage!

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of Zixiao Peak.

Ye Ming looked up and saw that the clouds and mist were swirling around the peak, making it appear and disappear.

A rich spiritual energy poured down from the mountaintop, refreshing everyone's mind and spirit.

"What a blessed and sacred place!"

Ye Ming expressed his sincere admiration.

Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Ye, you flatter me. Although my Zixiao Sect can be called a first-class sect, it is still far inferior to a true holy land."

Ye Ming nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

The group slowly made their way up the mountain path.

Along the way, Ye Ming saw many disciples of the Zixiao Sect cultivating or gathering herbs.

When they saw Luo Xuan and the others return, they all cast curious glances at them.

Especially when they saw Ye Ming, a complete stranger, they started talking about it.

"Who is that? They seem like someone special."

"I don't know, it seems like Senior Brother Li and the others brought it back."

"Could it be some reclusive master?"

……

Ye Ming listened to these discussions and chuckled inwardly.

He knew that his identity would soon spread throughout the Zixiao Sect.

[Ma Ling (My Date with a Vampire): Boss Ye Ming is playing dumb to fool us!]

[Xu Bufan (Snowy World): Tsk tsk, the people from the Purple Cloud Sect probably never dreamed they'd invited back a transmigrator, right?]

Ye Ming ignored the teasing from his fellow group members and instead focused on observing his surroundings.

He discovered that the higher he went up the mountain, the richer the spiritual energy became.

"This Purple Cloud Peak is indeed extraordinary; no wonder it can nurture such a powerful sect."

Ye Ming sighed inwardly.

Just then, he suddenly felt the Source-Seeking Pearl vibrate slightly.

Ye Ming's heart stirred; it seemed that the Origin Stone of Heaven and Earth was very likely on this mountain!

Finally, the group arrived at the summit of Zixiao Peak.

Ye Ming looked up and saw a magnificent palace standing tall.

Above the palace gate hangs a golden plaque inscribed with the words "Zixiao Palace".

Three characters.

Luo Xuan said respectfully, "Senior Ye, this is the main hall of our Zixiao Sect. The sect leader is inside."

Ye Ming nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating from inside the hall.

The next moment, the palace doors slowly opened, and an old man dressed in a purple Taoist robe walked out.

Although the old man looked to be over sixty, he was in good spirits and his eyes were sharp.

An indescribable pressure emanated from him, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"metropolitan!"

Luo Xuan and the others immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

Ye Ming also bowed slightly to show respect.

The old man waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

His gaze fell on Ye Ming, and a kind smile appeared on his face:

"We apologize for not being able to greet our distinguished guests properly."

Ye Ming quickly replied, "Senior, you are too kind. I am Ye Ming, and I apologize for my unauthorized visit."

The old man smiled and said, "Young friend Ye, there's no need for such formalities. I am True Man Zixiao, the sect master of the Zixiao Sect."

"I have already heard about your deeds, young friend. To be able to defeat an elder of the Demonic Sect single-handedly is truly a remarkable achievement!"

Ye Ming humbly replied, "Senior, you flatter me. That elder of the Demonic Sect was merely underestimating me; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to win so easily."

Master Zixiao laughed heartily and said, "Young friend Ye is indeed modest. However, I can see that your cultivation has probably reached the Mahayana stage, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Luo Xuan and the others stared at Ye Ming in disbelief.

They never expected that this seemingly young man was actually a peerless expert in the Mahayana stage!

[Shi Yue (Perfect World): Haha, Ye Ming's identity is about to be exposed!]

[Li Momo (The Return of the Condor Heroes world): Master Zixiao is amazing! He could tell Brother Ye Ming's cultivation level at a glance!]

Ye Ming sighed inwardly, realizing that his strength could not be hidden from this True Person Zixiao.

He could only smile wryly and say, "Senior, your insight is truly remarkable. I was indeed fortunate enough to break through to the Mahayana stage."

A hint of surprise flashed in Master Zixiao's eyes, then he laughed loudly:

"Excellent! Excellent! I never expected that my Zixiao Sect would be so fortunate as to welcome a young Mahayana stage expert today!"

"Young friend Ye, would you be willing to stay at my Zixiao Sect for a few days? I still have many questions I would like to ask you."

Ye Ming was overjoyed; this was exactly what he wanted.

So he said respectfully, "It is my honor to receive guidance from Senior Zixiao."

Master Zixiao nodded with satisfaction, then said to Luo Xuan and the others:

"You may all leave. Prepare a superior cave dwelling for Young Friend Ye."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Luo Xuan and the others respectfully withdrew.

Master Zixiao looked at Ye Ming and said with a smile, "Young friend Ye, please come with me."

With that, he turned and walked into the Zixiao Palace.

Ye Ming followed behind, but he was secretly on guard.

Although Master Zixiao appears kind and approachable, someone who has cultivated to such a level is definitely not a simple character.

Upon entering the main hall, Master Zixiao waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier.

His expression suddenly turned serious as he stared at Ye Ming and said:

"Young friend Ye, I have a question for you. Please answer truthfully."

Ye Ming felt a chill run down his spine, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "Please speak, senior."

Master Zixiao asked in a deep voice, "You... are you from another world?"

This question struck Ye Ming like a bolt from the blue, leaving him instantly stunned.

[Sun Qianqian (Investiture of the Gods World): Holy crap! Master Zixiao is amazing! How could he see that?]

[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): Boss Ye Ming, quickly think of a way to deal with this!]

Ye Ming took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.

He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, your insight is truly remarkable. I am indeed from another realm, and I have come here to search for a treasure."

Upon hearing this, Master Zixiao was not angry at all; instead, he showed a gratified smile.

"As expected. I had long anticipated that someone from another world would arrive."

Ye Ming asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that, senior?"

Master Zixiao sighed and said:

"Young friend Ye, are you aware that our world is about to face a catastrophe?"

Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was also a great calamity here?

He asked cautiously, "I wonder if the calamity you spoke of, senior, is related to the great catastrophe of heaven and earth?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Master Zixiao's eyes, then he nodded and said:

"Indeed. It seems that young friend Ye is also aware of this."

"In fact, a thousand years ago, my ancestors in the Zixiao Sect prophesied that people from another world would come to stop this calamity."

"I just never expected that it would be you."

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): Wow! This demonic sect is too arrogant!]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Boss Ye Ming, you better watch out!]

Ye Ming ignored the chat group's reaction and instead looked at Master Zixiao, asking:

"Senior, do you need my help?"

Master Zixiao shook his head and said, "Not for now. These rabble are no match for my Zixiao Sect."

"but……"

He changed the subject, his expression turning serious, and said:

"I am worried that the Demonic Sect's attack this time is aimed at the Purple Heaven Divine Pearl."

"Young friend Ye, please protect the divine pearls first. No matter what happens, we cannot let them fall into the hands of the demonic sect!"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "This junior understands."

Just then, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed directly in front of the Zixiao Palace.
