[boom]

With a heavy, muffled crash, the entire Blazing Sun Sect main hall shattered in an instant. Several streaks of light shot into the sky and an intense battle unfolded in midair.

There was no doubt—the hall’s space was far too small to contain the fight between Zhu Xincheng and the elders.

The commotion naturally drew the attention of the other divine clans in the alliance, but none of them came to intervene.

One could hardly call those who had become gods fools.

The moment they saw Xiao Cui and Ye Yu, they all withdrew. The old sect master returning to seize power was a fight they had no business meddling in.

After all, they were not elders—only ordinary disciples within the alliance. They had choices.

Xiao Cui stared at the sky, worry etched across her face. “Benefactor, shall we go help? I’m afraid Sect Master might be in danger.”

Ye Yu shook his head slightly. “Zhu Xincheng’s strength far surpasses those elders. Beating them is only a matter of time. Rather than worrying about him, think about our own safety first.”

Even as he spoke, Ye Yu kept his gaze fixed on Cai Banjian.

Cai Banjian was watching them in return.

When the hall had broken, he had not moved at all—he had simply stood in place and watched.

Compared with the many elders, Cai Banjian was the real threat.

Ye Yu therefore redoubled his vigilance.

However, Cai Banjian did not appear inclined to strike; he merely offered a friendly suggestion.

“If you don’t run, you’ll die here with Zhu Xincheng. So you might as well leave now.”

Those kindly words, delivered in a soft voice, could have fooled anyone into thinking him a benefactor.

As the saying went, you wouldn’t strike the smiling man who reached out to help.

Ye Yu cheerfully returned a curt four-word reply.

“None of your damn business!”

He had indeed not struck the smiling man—there was no rule against snapping back. So Ye Yu didn’t hit.

Cai Banjian had a good temper as well; he did not lose his composure. He smiled and waved for a member of the Blazing Sun Sect to come forward.

“Go kill those two,” he said softly. “If you do, I’ll promote you to elder. If you can’t kill them, I’ll send you to your death. How about that?”

The Blazing Sun disciple turned pale.

But seeing that Cai Banjian did not seem to be joking, he forced himself forward.

His name was Zhou Dao, and he was regarded as the disciple most likely to become the new elder within the Blazing Sun Sect.

He had just broken through to the Ancient God Realm; his strength was considerable.

He should have been more than sufficient to kill Ye Yu at the Golden God level and Xiao Cui at the Heavenly God level.

Under Cai Banjian’s watchful gaze, Zhou Dao could only walk straight toward Ye Yu and Xiao Cui, his face full of struggle.

“Head Steward Xiao Cui, I—I don’t want to do this, but if I don’t move, I’ll die. So...so you two die instead!”

Just as Zhou Dao prepared to act, a savage gust of energy struck him and nearly unbalanced him.

When he steadied himself, he was shocked to find Ye Yu already standing before him.

Startled, Zhou Dao instinctively summoned his divine sword and slashed at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu, however, casually caught the blade with one hand, paying no heed to its razor edge.

Faced with such counter-divine strength, Zhou Dao was dumbfounded and fell to the ground.

Ye Yu asked quietly, “What is your dream? Before you die, I’ll give you a chance—tell me your dream and I’ll help you fulfill it.”

Zhou Dao was thoroughly terrified. He stammered, “I—I have no dream!”

[shing]

The sound of the divine sword tearing through the air rang out.

With a single stroke, Ye Yu cut Zhou Dao down.

“Trash—no dream, no meaning to your life,” Ye Yu said, tossing the divine sword aside with noticeable displeasure.

He had been planning to fulfill a dream, and had even hinted at it so explicitly. How could such a fool not understand?

If Zhou Dao had simply said, “My dream is to live well,” Ye Yu would have let him go.

What a fool.

Cai Banjian had watched the entire sequence with keen interest, then asked, “Eastern Extreme Divine Mountain—Master of Dream Fulfillment?”

Ye Yu raised a brow. “You’ve heard of me?”

Cai Banjian’s smile deepened. “Of course. A madman who likes to help others realize their dreams has long been talked about in the God Realm.”

“In fact, before coming to the Blazing Sun Sect I deliberately detoured past Eastern Extreme Divine Mountain. I wanted to see what scheme this so-called Master of Dream Fulfillment was playing at.”

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. No deity helps others for no reason.”

“I wanted to know what you gain after you help people fulfill their dreams.”

Ye Yu’s expression remained calm, but his heart gave a jolt.

Cai Banjian was meticulous enough to think that far ahead.

Truly, every deity in the God Realm was not to be underestimated.

Ye Yu said, “Sometimes, excessive curiosity isn’t a good thing.”

Cai Banjian waved a finger. “I disagree. I think curiosity is a good thing. It enlarges my desire to know and pushes me to explore more.”

“For example, right now I want to extract your soul to see what you receive when you help people fulfill their dreams.”

Ye Yu smiled. “There’s no need for such trouble. Just tell me your dream—I’ll help you fulfill it, and then you’ll know everything.”

“You want to know my dream? Dream on!”

Cai Banjian stepped toward Ye Yu, each stride slow but unerringly steady.

To him, abnormal behavior meant hidden danger.

A deity who enjoyed granting others’ dreams must have ulterior motives. Cai Banjian even suspected that by fulfilling dreams you could control people—so Ye Yu would never divulge his own dream.

Extracting Ye Yu’s soul to get the answer was the safest route.

That was exactly what Cai Banjian intended to do.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “If you won’t tell me your dream, then don’t. But calling me a dreamer—honestly, I really am dreaming right now. What are you going to do about it?”
