Lu Yin's eyes flickered. If he really were Jade Hao, he might have joined the Cold Immortal Sect!
Jade Hao's father had personally handed Yu Chuan over to the Four Sides Heavenly Balance. Jade City had lost Yu Chuan, yet Jade Hao still spent his days carefree and enjoying himself. That proved he didn't care all that much about Yu Chuan's life. Giving Yu Chuan up was the most sensible choice.
That was how things looked from Jade Hao's perspective. In reality, joining the Cold Immortal Sect was absolutely not a good idea. Take the Rogue Cultivator who had founded Zhongyuan, for example. He completed the Beyond Heaven trial and was cultivated into an Ancestor by the Cold Immortal Sect. In the end, all he got was a place in the Outer Realm, while Zhongyuan fell apart. That was the Cold Immortal Sect's true goal.
Lu Yin didn't know what the Outer Realm was, but he knew that any Ancestor who didn't bear the family name was bound to become that one place's occupant and disappear forever.
"Joining the Cold Immortal Sect—what conditions do you need?" Bai Wangyuan asked again.
Lu Yin's gaze sharpened. His next destination was Divine Martial Heaven, where the Xia family would also pressure him to make a choice. Their ancestral worship ceremony was also his planned opportunity to rescue Red Garden. There wasn't much time. Since that was the case, he steeled himself. "As long as Ancestor Bai guarantees my grandfather's life, this junior, Jade Hao, is willing to join the Cold Immortal Sect. I swear it here: if I betray you, I, Jade Hao, will never reach the Ancestor realm."
On the other end of the Cloud Communication Stone, Bai Wangyuan was surprised. He had expected Jade Hao to say more, or at least
