Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Grandfather, the men are ready, but in your current condition, maybe you should sit this one out?"

Yuan Haotian said with some concern.

Yang Xiao shook his head. "No. That kid from the Ye Family is extremely cunning. I've fought him before, so I know him best. You have to take me with you."

Seeing his "grandfather" being so uncharacteristically stubborn, Yuan Haotian had no choice but to agree.

But before they left, he took out a Pill and handed it to Yang Xiao.

"Grandfather, you have to take this Holy Profound Pill. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease letting you go."

Yang Xiao took one look at it and knew it was a top-grade Healing Medicine. It contained several precious Divine Medicines, but the refining technique was somewhat lacking.

'What a reckless waste of precious ingredients. To think they'd use such fine Divine Medicines to refine this piece of trash. Fortunately, it's salvageable. I'll just hold onto it for now. It might be useful later.'

Yang Xiao put it away.

Although the Pill itself wasn't much, its medicinal properties were excellent. To others, a fully refined Pill could not be altered.

But for Yang Xiao, whether it was a Spirit Medicine or a Pill, he could always find a way to extract its essence and put it to better use.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been known as the Human Race Medicine Ancestor.

"Grandfather..."

Seeing that Yang Xiao didn't take the Pill, Yuan Haotian was a little displeased.

But in the end, Yang Xiao simply refused. With nothing he could do, Yuan Haotian had to drop it.

'Grandfather is probably refusing this Holy Profound Pill because he's afraid I'll get injured and need it. Forget it. He's wounded right now, so I should just be more accommodating. Besides, this mission is extremely important. It's not just about the last Preacher, but also the Ye Family's God-Suppressing Coffin. I need to plan this out carefully.'

With that thought, Yuan Haotian stopped pestering Yang Xiao.

Instead, he began to plot.

He took this matter very seriously, but he didn't try to hide it from Yang Xiao. Instead, he planned it out right in front of him with his trusted aides.

Soon, with a plan in place, Yuan Haotian took all the Void Immortal Level experts, avoided Yuan San, and quietly set off for the Eastern Domain.

Because they were all Void Immortals, the group of nearly one hundred and fifty people moved quickly. This formidable lineup, which included almost every Void Immortal on the entire Profound Sun Continent, soon appeared at the Purple Flame Sect.

"It really is the Life-taking Thousand-leaf Willow! It looks like the Void Immortals we sent to the Eastern Domain were killed at his hands!"

An Elder from the Nine Dragon Immortal Sect said viciously.

Members from the other Eight Great Immortal Sects and the Three Domain Lords' Forces also spoke up one after another.

After all, they had all previously sent people to the Eastern Domain to enter the Profound Sun Secret Realm, but in the end, every single one of them had died.

Not a single person returned.

This was an absolutely devastating blow to their respective forces.

Now, the true culprit was right before their eyes.

How could they not be filled with anger and hatred?

"Since we all know this person is inside, how about each sect sends a few people in to scout a path?"

Yuan Haotian said indifferently.

Hearing this, the people from the Nine Great Immortal Sects and the Three Domain Lords' Forces exchanged glances and nodded. Their greatest fear was that Yuan Haotian would use his power and authority to use them as cannon fodder.

After all, this man was held in high regard by the Immortal Envoy. According to the information they had received, the Immortal Envoy had even personally inquired about this very mission.

They had been ordered to obey Yuan Haotian's every command.

Naturally, they didn't dare to disobey.

Even if Yuan Haotian really did use them as cannon fodder, there was nothing they could do.

Now, it seemed he had no such intention.

So, of course, they had no objections.

Immediately, each sect sent out three people.

With thirteen great powers in total, that made for thirty-nine people.

They split into thirteen teams and entered the Purple Flame Sect from different directions.

At this moment, however, the Qin Family Ancestor spoke up. "I heard Great Elder Yuan Haowen went inside before. I wonder if you managed to get a clear sense of the situation within?"

"Indeed. We are all here under the Immortal Envoy's command. If the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect is withholding intelligence from us, wouldn't that be a bit improper?"

The Ancestor of the Dragon-Slaying Immortal Sect also chimed in.

"My Celestial Star Immortal Sect also feels that the Great Elder should disclose what's inside. Moreover, the Great Elder is at the Void Immortal Peak. Although his true strength is unknown, it surely can't be that bad, yet he still ended up in such a state. I believe we ought to be more cautious."

The Sect Leader of the Celestial Star Immortal Sect was even more out of line.

Not only did he demand intelligence, but he also subtly mocked Yuan Haowen.

Oh, of course, the current Yuan Haowen was actually Yang Xiao.

However, this reminder made the Qin Family Ancestor think of something.

He subconsciously glanced at Yang Xiao.

This one glance only made him more suspicious.

Others might not know Yuan Haowen's true strength. Many even believed that the only reason Yuan Haowen became the Great Elder of the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect, one of the most powerful men on the continent, was because he had a good grandson.

But the Qin Family, an old rival that had clashed with the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect for years, knew very well.

This old fellow's strength was anything but ordinary.

Back in the day, he had crossed swords with this old bastard more than a few times.

When he unleashed his Godslaying Palm, even he himself wouldn't dare to face it head-on. Yet now, he had been beaten into such a state. It was almost unimaginable.

'Either the person from the Ye Family inside is a True God Realm expert, or this old bastard is faking his injuries.'

If it were the former, the Qin Family Ancestor felt that the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect would never have rashly come to besiege them. Instead, they should have reported the matter to the Immortal Envoy and requested him to intervene personally.

But now, the Immortal Envoy hadn't appeared, and the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect was leading the charge.

It was obvious, then, that the person inside couldn't possibly be a True God.

At this thought, the Qin Family Ancestor's expression darkened.

'That old bastard is definitely faking his injuries. He must be plotting something. Back then, my Qin Family was plotted against by this very man, which led to so many deaths. Even a True Immortal Ancestor of ours died on the battlefield in the Eastern Domain at the hands of the Ye Family Main Lineage. Yet he, a mere Void Immortal, survived. Hmph, there's definitely something fishy going on here.'

With this realization, the Qin Family Ancestor became even more cautious.

However, he didn't warn anyone else.

As for Yuan Haotian, he had long anticipated being pressured by so many factions.

He had used the Immortal Envoy's name to gather everyone here this time for the sole purpose of wiping them all out in one fell swoop.

Previously, as the nominal Common Lord of the Profound Sun Continent, Yuan Haotian would never have done such a thing. But this time, the treasures of the Ye Family Main Lineage were at stake—treasures that even a Divine King would covet.

Of course, Yuan Haotian had to be ruthless.

Otherwise, how could all these things fall into the hands of his Vast Heaven Immortal Sect?

Therefore, Yuan Haotian's strategy from the start was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Although he had also sent men, in reality, they would never actually go inside.

They would merely patrol the perimeter.

As for these other people...

'Time to add some fuel to the fire.'

Yuan Haotian smiled faintly.

He stepped forward and began to speak.
