Taking Xiao Yan as a Disciple, and Xiao Xun'er Shamelessly Insisting on Following Too?

"I am Yan Xiao, from Wutan City."

"And you are?"

Xiao Yan asked, puzzled yet alarmed.

"I am the Ye Emperor Hall Master."

"Your bones are unlike those of ordinary people, and you are exceptionally gifted. Are you interested in joining my Ye Emperor Hall?"

Ye Changge said with an amused look as he watched the "Yan Xiao" before him.

"Ye Emperor Hall?"

"You're inviting me to join?"

"Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

Xiao Yan still asked cautiously upon hearing this.

What he did not understand was that his talent had just been judged to be at the third stage of Dou Qi, making him the center of everyone's attention. Did this man have something wrong with his head to invite him into his sect?

And Ye Emperor Hall?

Was there such a sect in the Jia Ma Empire?

"What, are you questioning me?"

Ye Changge raised a brow as he looked at the hesitant Xiao Yan.

At the same time, the aura of a Dou Ancestor Peak instantly enveloped Xiao Yan!

"N-No, I wouldn't dare..."

"I am honored by your invitation, Hall Master. This junior is willing to join the Ye Emperor Hall."

Enveloped by an aura capable of making him vanish in an instant, Xiao Yan felt as though his soul were about to leave his body and hurriedly replied.

"Very good."

"Xiao Yan, you will be glad for the decision you made today."

"Master, how did you know..."

Hearing Ye Changge call out his real name, Xiao Yan was utterly stunned!

"Dou Ancestor Peak!"

"There is no expert like you in the Jia Ma Empire. Who exactly are you?!"

"What are your intentions in approaching Brother Xiao Yan?!"

"Interesting. Little girl, I bear no ill will toward Xiao Yan!"

"I merely wish to take a disciple!"

Ye Changge ignored Xiao Xun'er's wary gaze and instead stared intently, with great interest, at the Bone Cold Flame Ring on Xiao Yan's hand!

"In that case, wherever Brother Xiao Yan goes, I'll go too!"

"I'm joining your Ye Emperor Hall as well!"

"What?!"

"Master is actually a Dou Ancestor expert!"

Xiao Yan cried out in shock!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully recruiting the Son of the Plane. Mission complete.

Issuing mission reward... Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Silver Summoning Card.

Silver Summoning Card: Can summon experts from the Dou Ancestor Realm to the Dou Saint Realm.

As the notification of the reward arriving sounded, Ye Changge opened Xiao Yan's panel as well.

Xiao Yan: Third stage Dou Qi, descendant of the Ancient Xiao Clan, parasitic entity: Yao Chen.

"Hehe, Venerable Yao, Yao Chen?"

"Interesting. I might as well recruit him too and have him refine pills exclusively for me."

"Let's go. We're returning to the sect."

"Master, please give me a few days so that I can return to my clan and inform my father..."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, several people approached from the side and interrupted him.

"Well, well. Isn't this the Xiao Family Third Young Master?"

"What, has our great genius Xiao come to the Misty Cloud Sect to join in the fun too?"

"You? With third-stage Dou Qi?"

"Xiao Yan, you think you deserve it?!"

"Jia Lie Ao!!"

At the sight of the newcomer, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth in fury.

This bastard really was impossible to get rid of!

"Haha, that's right, it's me!"

"I came to visit you, you useless trash."

Jia Lie Ao was Xiao Yan's sworn rival. Their families were both major powers in Wutan City and had always been openly and secretly competing against one another.

One day, when Xiao Yan had taken Xun'er out for a stroll, Jia Lie Ao had been captivated by Xun'er's beauty.

That was why he often humiliated Xiao Yan, hoping to make him embarrass himself.

"Oh? Are these three beside you friends of the Xiao Family Third Young Master?"

Jia Lie Ao's cultivation was rather low, so he could not discern the realms of Ye Changge and the others and assumed they were ordinary people.

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"Of course, anyone who hangs around the Xiao Family Third Young Master is trash."

Jia Lie Ao said arrogantly.

"Jia Lie Ao, shut your mouth!"

Seeing Jia Lie Ao insult his master, Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward.

"Young Master, I heard them mention that they're from the Ye Emperor Hall."

"Could it be that this useless Third Young Master joined the Ye Emperor Hall?"

"Ye Emperor Hall? What sect is that?"

While Jia Lie Ao was still wondering why any sect would want trash like Xiao Yan...

"Haha, Young Master, you may not know this, but the Ye Emperor Hall is a third-rate force. Its Sect Headquarters is in Black Rock City, and I heard all its disciples have run away."

"Haha, just as I thought! A sect of trash taking in trash is only natural!"

"How dare you!"

"Those who insult the Ye Emperor Hall shall be killed without mercy!!"

Outer Sect Elder Ye Cheng struck with his palm, instantly turning the still-laughing Jia Lie Ao into a mist of blood.

From beginning to end, Ye Changge had merely watched these people as though they were monkeys.

"Without the howling of monkeys, my ears are finally quiet."

As he spoke, Ye Changge even symbolically scratched his ear.

These clowns really had taken a rocket to the underworld because they thought they were dying too slowly.

Of all people, they had to provoke him.

"Another Dou Ancestor!"

Xiao Xun'er cried out in shock.

"What? Another Dou Ancestor?!"

At the side, Xiao Yan no longer cared how Xun'er had discerned the strength of the people before them.

Outer Sect Elder Ye Cheng had seemed the least remarkable among the three, yet the powerful Dou Qi fluctuations unleashed by his attack had stunned Xiao Yan once again.

"Just who exactly is Master..."

"Y-You... You... You..."

Jia Lie Ao's lackeys had yet to recover.

They had only felt an intense fluctuation of power, their vision going dark before they were blasted away. Then they saw their young master turn into a mist of blood and vanish from the world.

"You killed Young Master!"

"Just you wait, wait... You'll bear the wrath of the Jia Lie Family!"

Jia Lie Ao's lackeys were so frightened that they could barely speak, yet they still forced themselves to make threats.

"The Jia Lie Family has no reason to continue existing."

"Let's go."

Ye Changge said only that before turning to leave.

The commotion here had also drawn the attention of many people.

Especially the higher-ups of the Misty Cloud Sect on the viewing platform!

"Wait a moment. Isn't it somewhat inappropriate for you to leave just like that?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Yun Leng, Grand Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect and the person in charge of this Disciple Recruitment Assembly."

"Are you standing up for that brat?"

"No, you misunderstand, Your Excellency. A minor force like that is not worth making the Misty Cloud Sect face the wrath of a Dou Ancestor expert."

"I merely wish to invite your sect to participate in the exchange gathering later."

He was also somewhat puzzled. Why did the Ye Emperor Hall, which had fallen to become a third-rate force, still have a Dou Ancestor expert? Could it be that a descendant of the Ye Emperor Hall had received some kind of sect inheritance?

Seeing the old man before him with white hair and a youthful face, Ye Changge hesitated for a moment.

Ding! As the future number-one sect in the world, how can you go without fame?

Issuing unlimited-time mission: Become renowned across the Northwest Continent. No time limit. Rewards will be granted according to the extent of mission completion.

"Become renowned across the Northwest Continent? Fine. The first step for my Ye Emperor Hall to enter the world will begin with this exchange gathering."

"Since I'm bored anyway, I'll play along with you."

"Please, Your Excellency!"

Afterward, Ye Changge and the other three were invited to wait in the central pavilion.

On the way there, Ye Changge introduced Ye Cheng and Shi Hao to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, this is your eldest senior brother, Shi Hao."

"This is Ye Cheng, an Outer Sect Elder of our Ye Emperor Hall."

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother, and greetings, Senior Ye Cheng."

What Xiao Yan had not expected was that Senior Ye, whom he regarded as so formidable, was merely an Outer Sect Elder within the sect. And this eldest senior brother of his looked far from ordinary; his talent was probably even greater than Xun'er's...

This time, I've really found powerful backing. Let's see who still dares look down on me, Xiao Yan!
