Ye Hongyao's Blunt Honesty

The Zhao Kingdom, the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

In a Quiet Manor, Yin Shan, a portly old man in a black robe, and Shen Yue sat around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.

"You want to enter the Immortal Burial Mound? That place is extremely dangerous; even those at the Nascent Soul Late Stage Immortal Burial Mound can die there."

Yin Shan frowned and said.

"We know the Immortal Burial Mound is dangerous, otherwise we wouldn't have asked for your help. You know the Immortal Burial Mound Immortal Burial Mound of Immortal Burial Mound better than we do, so help us gather information about it, and ideally, get a map of it."

Shen Yue said.

"I will immediately issue an order to send people to gather relevant intelligence. Our Hundred Ghosts Sect has also encountered a small problem, and we hope that you two fellow Daoists can help us resolve it."

Yin Shan said sincerely.

"A minor trouble? What trouble!"

The old man in black robes frowned and asked.

Su Sheng, Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Yin Shan briefly recounted what had happened, embellishing the story with some extra details.

"Fourth-Order Spirit Flame! You don't mean for us to kill Shen Long, do you?!"

Su Sheng said with a gloomy face.

He only asked Yin Shan to gather intelligence, which didn't require much risk. But if they were to kill Shen Long, they would be taking a considerable risk.

"No, that's not it. I just want the Heaven Ghost Sect to protect our Hundred Ghosts Sect. Our Hundred Ghosts Sect can serve you and collect cultivation resources."

Yin Shan explained.

He knew very well that without a huge benefit, it was unrealistic to expect the Heaven Ghost Sect to kill Shen Long. Shen Long had no apparent conflict of interest with the Heaven Ghost Sect, and they would not kill Shen Long just because of a few words of provocation from Yin Shan.

"Protecting your Hundred Ghosts Sect is no problem, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Wouldn't it be better for you to seek the protection of the Nether Corpse Sect?"

Su Sheng asked, puzzled.

"The Nether Corpse Sect looks down on our Hundred Ghosts Sect. Besides, the Zhao Kingdom, where our Hundred Ghosts Sect is located, is right next to the Qin Kingdom. Who knows when they might attack us?"

Yin Shan explained.

"Even if we wanted to protect you, by the time the Spirit Control Sect came all the way from the North Sea Cultivation World, it would be too late."

Su Sheng asked, puzzled.

"We want to transfer some disciples to the North Sea Cultivation World. If you provide us with an island to settle down, we will also leave some people behind in the East Hua Cultivation World."

Yin Shan revealed his plan.

The Spirit Control Sect is currently riding high, and who knows when it might destroy the Hundred Ghosts Sect. Who will stand up for the Hundred Ghosts Sect then? Not to mention the Nether Corpse Sect, the Yin Corpse Gate, the Blood Skull Sect, and the Heavenly Fiend Sect are not convinced by the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

He planned to establish a branch in the North Sea Cultivation World, with most of the elites going there to develop, and a small number remaining in the East China North Sea Cultivation World East Hua Cultivation World.

The North Sea Cultivation World is rich in Demon Beast resources. With the support of the Heaven Ghost Sect, the Hundred Ghosts Sect can easily establish itself.

As early as when the Hundred Ghosts Sect established contact with the Heaven Ghost Sect, the higher-ups of the Hundred Ghosts Sect had planned to develop in the North Sea Cultivation World. However, before the plan could be implemented, they encountered a great calamity, and the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Hundred Ghosts Sect perished one after another.

"No problem, first help us collect a map of the Immortal Burial Mound."

Su Sheng said.

Yin Shan nodded, took out Communication Disk that shimmered with black light, and entered a spell, his brows furrowed.

"What happened?"

Su Sheng asked, puzzled.

"Ye Hongyao from Medicine King Valley went to the Spirit Control Sect to attend the Nascent Soul Formation Celebration of True Man Red Flood Dragon. The Spirit Control Sect has actually colluded with Medicine King Valley. Could they be taking this opportunity to deal with us?!"

Yin Shan's face was full of worry.

Ye Hongyao is a descendant of Ye Sen and holds a high position in Medicine King Valley. She appeared...

"Who cares who they're colluding with? Anyway, we're in charge of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. If the Spirit Control Sect takes action against you, we'll help them too. Just focus on gathering intelligence for us."

Su Sheng reassured him.

They still need the help of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and need to appease Yin Shan.

Yin Shan nodded and agreed.

······

Qin Kingdom, Mystic Yang Sect.

In a secluded room, True Monarch Xuanyang lay on a Cyan Jade Bed, looking haggard.

Fairy Skyfire and Han Jinlong stood aside, their faces full of worry.

"Senior Brother Han, you're finally awake."

Fairy Skyfire breathed a sigh of relief.

She returned to the Mystic Yang Sect as quickly as possible and fed True Monarch Xuanyang a Heaven Soul Pill every month. After taking two Heaven Soul Pill, True Monarch Xuanyang awoke.

"Junior Sister Xu, thank you for your hard work. I hope everything was alright in the sect while I was unconscious!"

True Monarch Xuanyang asked.

"Senior Brother Han, many things happened in the East Hua Cultivation World while you were unconscious."

Fairy Skyfire briefly explained what had happened.

"We've lost two more Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

True Monarch Xuanyang frowned deeply.

"There was nothing we could do about it; the fighting was too intense. Fortunately, you're alright now. Take another Heaven Soul Pill, and you should be fully recovered."

Fairy Skyfire said with a smile.

When will the Nascent Soul Formation Celebration of True Man Red Flood Dragon be held?

True Monarch Xuanyang asked.

"It's about time to set off. I'll personally lead the team!"

Fairy Skyfire said.

"No need, I'll go myself! From now on, the Spirit Control Sect will be in charge of the Qin Kingdom, so I should pay my respects in person."

"That's what True Monarch Xuanyang said."

"Alright! You can lead the team then!"

Fairy Skyfire did not refuse and agreed.

After chatting for a few minutes, Fairy Skyfire left.

"Shen Long is very strong. He has two mutated fourth-tier Spirit Insect. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator are no match for him."

Han Jinlong sighed.

"From now on, the Qin Kingdom will be ruled by the Spirit Control Sect. You should cultivate diligently, and I hope you will advance to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"This is what True Monarch Xuanyang instructed."

Han Jinlong agreed and stepped back.

Three days later, True Monarch Xuanyang led a group of the Mystic Yang Sect disciples away from the Mystic Yang Sect and headed for the Spirit Control Sect.

······

Spirit Control Sect, Golden Roc Garden.

Shen Long, True Man Red Flood Dragon, Ye Hongyao, Tang Yunbing, Qin Guanglin, and more than a dozen other Nascent Soul Cultivator sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

The Spirit Control Sect extended a wide invitation to guests to hold Nascent Soul Formation Celebration for True Man Red Flood Dragon. Most of the guests arrived, and more than a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivator stayed in the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, your Spirit Control Sect is brimming with talent! Another Nascent Soul Cultivator has emerged."

Qin Guanglin praised it.

He was severely injured by the Barbarian Race cultivators, but he recovered after taking the Blood Mushroom Pill refined by Shen Long.

"Indeed! Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Shen is still without dao companion. I wonder which fairy will become Fellow Daoist Shen's Dual Cultivation Partner? Does Fellow Daoist Shen not plan to find a dao companion?"

Tang Yunbing joked with a smile.

"It depends on fate. If we're meant to be, we'll find each other; if not, then so be it. We won't force it."

Shen Long said calmly.

"What are your requirements for dao companion, Fellow Daoist Shen? Cultivation level, age, Divine Ability, etc.? I can keep an eye out for you. I know quite a few female cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm."

Ye Hongyao smiled gently.

"Fairy Ye, I remember you don't have Dual Cultivation Partner yet! Fellow Daoist Shen and you are quite a good match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

Tang Yunbing said with a smile.

"I think Fellow Daoist Shen a very handsome and talented person. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has taken a fancy to me?"

Ye Hongyao spoke frankly, her eyes fixed on Shen Long.

She had no connection with True Man Red Flood Dragon, but upon hearing that True Man Red Flood Dragon was holding Nascent Soul Formation Celebration, she made a special trip to attend, mainly hoping to get to know Shen Long and build a closer relationship.

"Is Fairy Ye joking?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Does Fellow Daoist Shen think I would joke about something like this? It's about love between a man and a woman. You're both unmarried, so if you like someone, just say so. What's wrong with that?"

Ye Hongyao said earnestly.

"No problem, I don't plan to consider personal matters for the time being."

Shen Long said tactfully.

He hadn't had much contact with Ye Hongyao, so when she suddenly confessed her feelings, Shen Long Ye Hongyao completely unprepared. He only considered Ye Hongyao an ordinary friend and had never thought about marrying Ye Hongyao.
