Watching the Beast Heart Sect's people warmly escort Ye Kang away, Jade Toad Old Ancestor and Murong Yan's expressions grew increasingly grim.
"Old Ancestor, why didn't you keep him as a Grand Elder? Though this man is arrogant, he is still a Return to Truth expert. Perhaps he really could help us unite Qiyun Valley." Murong Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Jade Toad Old Ancestor snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "He's nothing but an ignorant Rogue Cultivator, and a wild, unruly one at that. He'll surely become a hidden threat one day. The Beast Heart Sect thinks they've gotten a great bargain, but sooner or later, he'll stab them in the back."
After saying this, Jade Toad Old Ancestor went back to Closed Door Cultivation.
There was one thing he hadn't mentioned, though. In his brief exchange with Ye Kang just now, he hadn't managed to gain the upper hand. That was the crux of the matter.
If this Rogue Cultivator was stronger than him, then did the Jade Toad Sect belong to him, or to him, the Old Ancestor?
So no matter what, Jade Toad Old Ancestor would never allow Ye Kang to meddle in the Jade Toad Sect's affairs.
Before long, Ye Kang followed the Beast Heart Sect's martial artists to another mountain with beautiful scenery.
The Beast Heart Sect's Mountain Gate was more densely packed than the Jade Toad Sect's, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Countless Demonic Beasts were raised there.
Seeing the astonishment in Ye Kang's eyes, Sect Master Cui Tianxiao immediately chuckled. "Esteemed cultivator, are you wondering why we keep so many Demonic Beasts?"
"I am."
"Hahahaha! You may not know this, esteemed cultivator, but the Beast Heart Sect's cultivation method is to combine a heart technique with the hearts of demons and monsters.
