【Half a month later, Ye Yu brought the gods of the Cui family back to the Cui family.】

【The place was already riddled with damage, a complete wreck!】

【It was easy to see just how brutal the battle that day had been.】

【But all of that was trivial. Being able to use one blade to kill another and completely erase the Xuanling Sect had far exceeded Ye Yu’s original plan.】

【What more could he possibly ask for?】

【Besides, repairing the mountain itself was just grunt work—activating a restoration formation would take care of it.】

【As for the buildings of the Cui family, that was even simpler. When things were at their worst before, a member of the God Clan skilled in transport techniques had moved all the structures away. Now they just needed to be moved back.】

【As a result, it took only half a day for the Cui family to be fully restored.】

【This time, it was entirely through Ye Yu’s wit that the entire Cui family had been preserved!】

【Every branch of the Cui family looked at him with nothing but reverence in their eyes!】

【However, what they didn’t know was that Ye Yu himself had worries—and more than just one.】

【Late at night, Ye Yu came alone to the mountain behind the Cui family. Under the moonlight, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.】

【Using the blade of the Extreme Moon Pavilion to kill the Xuanling Sect—although the result had exceeded expectations, this matter was far from foolproof.】

【As long as someone investigated deeply, they would inevitably find something suspicious about the Cui family.】

【For example, after so many incidents, why hadn’t a single person from the Cui family died?】

【And when the Xuanling Sect arrived, where exactly had all of you gone?】

【Even if Ye Yu could smooth over both of these issues—】

【The Extreme Moon Pavilion would still continue pushing forward with the merger of the Cui family.】

【What? Now you want to go back on your word and refuse?】

【Then the Xuanling Sect is the perfect example.】

【The strength of the Extreme Moon Pavilion had just been proven in the most direct way—who wouldn’t be afraid?】

【This matter gave Ye Yu quite a headache.】

【Aside from that, there was also the fact that Cui Yanshui still hadn’t awakened.】

【That kept Ye Yu in constant worry.】

【Yanshui, Yanshui... wake up soon and take charge of the situation. I’m really getting tired.】

【While Ye Yu was feeling troubled, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.】

【His first instinct was that it was Qi Yuan.】

【Because within the Cui family, whenever members of the various branches met him, they would loudly shout—】

【“Greetings, Family Head!”】

【Their voices were so loud it felt like they were shouting a battle cry.】

【Only Qi Yuan wouldn’t make such a fuss.】

【But at this hour, shouldn’t she be in secluded cultivation?】

【Speaking of which, Qi Yuan was truly considerate, making use of every moment to cultivate.】

【As she put it, she wanted to grow stronger as quickly as possible so she could help him.】

【With a wife like this, what more could a man ask for?】

【A smile unconsciously appeared on Ye Yu’s face as he turned around—only to see a man in an utterly miserable state standing less than three meters away.】

【That’s not right. A man’s footsteps should be heavy—there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed.】

【Damn it, this old guy was walking on tiptoe.】

【Ye Yu was just about to curse, but in the next instant, he abruptly fell silent.】

【Because he suddenly recognized the man’s identity!】

【Ling Tai, Sect Master of the Xuanling Sect—a Divine Sovereign Realm expert!】

【Wasn’t he supposed to be dead? Why is he here now?】

【Extreme Moon Pavilion, you bastards—were you spreading fake news to mislead people?】

【Do you have any idea this can actually get people killed?!】

【It’s over, it’s over. Looks like this dream is about to end again.】

【Bad luck isn’t the fault of the God Realm—having a bitter fate isn’t the fault of the Divine Alliance either...】

【In the span of an instant, ten thousand thoughts flashed through Ye Yu’s mind.】

【But obediently surrendering and waiting for death was not his style!】

【Better to die standing than live kneeling—that was what true backbone meant!】

【With that thought, Ye Yu immediately lifted his foot, intending to leave a solid footprint on Ling Tai’s face!】

【He might very well fail—】

【But that kick represented his attitude!】

【It was absolutely necessary!】

【At worst, he’d just activate the “all beings are equal” approach!】

【However, at the very moment Ye Yu raised his foot, Ling Tai did something completely unexpected!】

【This Divine Sovereign Realm expert dropped straight to his knees and shouted loudly, “Don’t kick me! I’m scared! I’m scared!”】

【That single move completely stunned Ye Yu on the spot!】

【Hey—hey—hey!】

【Why aren’t you following the script?!】

【You’re a Divine Sovereign, someone all the God Clan looks up to!】

【What kind of act is this supposed to be?!】

【And with how perfectly you’re kneeling... it’s honestly hard to go through with the kick!】

【Ye Yu hesitated for a moment.】

【Seeing this, Ling Tai’s face lit up with joy as he said, “Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!”】

【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and, without revealing anything, used his divine sense to probe Ling Tai.】

【At first, he thought that this Divine Sovereign had been beaten until his divine power was completely gone, which was why he was acting so timid.】

【But that guess was quickly overturned.】

【Because inside Ling Tai’s body, an incomparably violent surge of divine power was raging wildly!】

【The strength of it was even more domineering than Chu She’s!】

【A genuine Divine Sovereign Realm expert, without a doubt!】

【But if his strength was still intact, why did he look... not very smart?】

【Could it be that the people from the Extreme Moon Pavilion had beaten his brain into damage?】

【At that thought, Ye Yu’s eyes instantly lit up!】

【So he tested him, asking, “Do you... know me?”】

【Ling Tai nodded repeatedly, rubbing his fingers together as he spoke in a trembling voice, “Ye Yu, son-in-law of the Cui family, the one who personally killed Gu Yuanzhen, the Divine Alliance leader of the Xuanling Sect. Back then, I was hiding in the shadows, and you even sent a sword strike at me. That strike almost took my life. So I’m afraid of you!”】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately recalled the scene from before.】

【That day, when he killed Gu Yuanzhen, he sensed someone nearby. So he condensed sword energy into a blade and slashed toward the distance.】

【He had thought he’d killed that person outright.】

【Who would have guessed—it was actually Ling Tai!】

【Judging by his current state, that strike must have left quite the psychological scar!】

【No wonder the Xuanling Sect had shut itself off back then.】

【So they were afraid of him?】

【Later, when the Xuanling Sect reopened, Ling Tai made a high-profile announcement about searching—】

【And his real target wasn’t the Cui family at all, but himself?】

【Tsk, tsk, tsk...】

【In an instant, Ye Yu connected many dots.】

【After that, he began to carefully observe Ling Tai once more.】

【Rationally, he knew this was a ticking time bomb—one that could explode at any moment and potentially take him down with it.】

【The correct choice would be to report Ling Tai’s whereabouts to the Extreme Moon Pavilion.】

【But Ye Yu didn’t want to do that.】

【Because he believed that this blade—Ling Tai—might be something he could use one day.】

【Of course, there was also the possibility that this blade might cut him instead.】

【And so, Ye Yu found himself truly conflicted.】
