On the way to the Dao Alliance, they encountered various levels of spirits, all of which were swiftly dealt with by Ye Xiu.
Tang Luor did not intervene; what Ye Xiu needed most was experience. With his formidable Seven Lives Spirit Power and two major techniques, he required combat to enhance his strength!
As the three of them progressed, Tang Luor took on the responsibility of protecting Zhao Wentong, while Ye Xiu focused on eliminating the wandering spirits. The weakest among them were Evil Spirits, while the strongest were Spirit Ghosts—well within the trio's capabilities.
For the Evil Spirits, Ye Xiu practiced Master Zuo's Seven Needles, and against the powerful Spirit Ghosts, he utilized the Azure Cloud Formula to familiarize himself with combat and gain experience.
"Just ahead is the Dao Alliance," Tang Luor said.
"Make way! Make way!"
Suddenly, a rough voice pierced through the air and reached the ears of the three.
A group of people brazenly pushed past them. As they passed Tang Luor, one disciple leered at her and reached out a hand toward her.
Ye Xiu witnessed this and could not allow such bullying to happen!
In an instant, he vanished from one side of the group and reappeared beside Tang Luor, swatting away the disciple's hand.
The disciple stared in horror at Ye Xiu, exclaiming, "Are you human or ghost?!"
Upon hearing this, the group halted.
"A ghost? Where's the ghost? Quickly kill it!"
The disciple scrutinized Ye Xiu closely, confirming that he was not a ghost before panic set in.
If he wasn't a spirit, then he shouldn't be able to appear or disappear at will. Yet this young man had done just that! This meant his cultivation must be quite high! Coupled with such youth and impressive cultivation, this person was certainly not ordinary!
It seemed they had stirred up a presence they shouldn't have.
The disciple felt a wave of frustration wash over him.
One of the group stepped forward, noticing Ye Xiu's position among the three, and respectfully said, "This young hero, may I ask how A-Cong has offended you..."
Ye Xiu did not respond, his gaze fixed on the disciple named A-Cong, his furious eyes making A-Cong too frightened to speak.
"Next time, I'll chop off your hands!!!"
After throwing down this statement, he grabbed Tang Luor and left with the other two, leaving the group in disarray.
"What kind of person is this!!! Are we really afraid of those three kids?"
"What just happened?"
"Goodness! The younger generation is truly arrogant!"
"Elder, you are a mid-level expert in the Spirit Jade Realm. Why not give A-Cong some justice?"
"Do you know what their cultivation levels are?"
"Haha, Elder, you jest. How could the cultivation of three kids possibly be higher than yours?"
"While they may not surpass me, they are certainly much stronger than you all! Two of them are at the lower level of the Spirit Jade Realm, and one is a mere mortal. With such cultivation at such a young age, their backing must be formidable!"
"Elder, you're laughing again! What force could possibly be more terrifying than our Dao Alliance?"
The elder sneered at the disciples, saying, "The ignorant are fearless!"
This group was composed of disciples from the Dao Alliance, led by an elder, and they were currently returning to report back to their sect.
Ye Xiu and his companions arrived at the foot of the mountain, looking up to see a magnificent structure rising majestically amidst the azure waves and clouds!
Zhao Wentong was so excited that he couldn't speak as he stood at the base of the mountain.
Although Ye Xiu had never seen such an impressive building before, he had witnessed the gathering of major sects atop Qishan, so he remained calm and composed, showing no signs of surprise, as if he were accustomed to such scenes.
At the mountain gate, two disciples stood guard.
"Seven Lives Sect's Ye Xiu comes on behalf of my senior brother to pay respects to the Sea Alliance Leader!" Upon hearing this, the guarding disciples looked bewildered.
Just then, the group they had encountered earlier watched this scene unfold.
"Are you letting a few kids meet the Alliance Leader just like that? Truly unaware of your own insignificance," one disciple named A-Cong stepped forward.
Seeing their fellow disciple arrive, the guarding disciples respectfully greeted him, "Senior Brother."
These disciples were unaware of Seven Lives Sect's reputation, so they felt no fear and casually mentioned an obscure sect as if it could gain them entry. Hmph, not happening.
At that moment, the elder stepped forward. The guarding disciples immediately bowed upon seeing him, "Elder!"
Then they returned to their duties, no longer intervening in the matter.
"You are Ye Xiu?"
"Indeed."
"How has your senior brother been lately?"
"He's doing well and even taught me some techniques. Dealing with the elders of Maple Whisper Tower is no problem at all."
At this statement, everyone was taken aback!
This was a blatant provocation; the elders of various sects were all on the same level of cultivation, so they didn't think much of the elders from the Dao Alliance.
"Hmph! What a bold Seven Lives Sect! You come to my Dao Alliance and immediately try to show off!" The elder waved his right hand dismissively behind his back.
"I wouldn't dare, especially since the current Seven Lives Sect only consists of my senior brother and me," Ye Xiu replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Dao Alliance exchanged glances at the elder's grim expression, each lost in their own thoughts.
How could they dare to provoke us when their sect only had two members left? But why did the elder look so displeased?
Clearly, Ye Xiu's taunt struck a painful chord within the elder.
Indeed, their sect had only two members left; could their Dao Alliance really afford to confront them?
It was evident that they could not. Their senior brother could sweep through the Cultivation World without issue, let alone deal with a single Dao Alliance.
The elder forced a smile and said to Ye Xiu and his companions, "Are you brothers here to pay your respects to the alliance leader? I'll take you there right away."
Seeing the elder's words, the disciples of the Dao Alliance obediently fell silent. Although the elder had softened his stance, they felt quite uncomfortable inside. However, there was nothing they could do about it at this moment!
"Thank you for leading the way, Elder." With that, Ye Xiu stood on the steps and surveyed the disciples of the Dao Alliance.
The animosity was palpable!
As the elder led the way ahead, Zhao Wentong leaned closer to Ye Xiu and whispered, "Why make such a big show of force right from the start?"
Ye Xiu patiently explained, "As a newcomer myself, I can't just come to the Cultivation Realm Sanctuary and the Dao Alliance without showing some strength. If I hadn't mentioned the Seven Lives Sect, do you think we could have met the Alliance Leader with just the Tang family's status in this current situation?"
Zhao Wentong glanced at Tang Luor and asked, "Is that not possible?"
Tang Luor replied, "I'm afraid it isn't."
Tang Luor then questioned, "Showing strength is one thing, but why provoke them? Isn't that just making enemies?"
Ye Xiu responded, "That's purely personal; that disciple named A-Cong rubs me the wrong way!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wentong awkwardly chuckled, thinking that Ye Xiu's provocation must have some strategy behind it...
Tang Luor felt a warm sensation in her heart.
Following the elder, they encountered no obstacles along the way and soon arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
