The Sect Remnants Hiding Underground

Ye Lin's expression immediately turned troubled. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "This matter is too important. I cannot make the decision on my own. I must go back and consult the Sect Master."

"Alright, I understand." Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "Where are your sect members hiding now?"

Ye Lin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "We, the people of the Starry Sky Sect, are currently settled in Dongyang City. Come with me, and I will take you to see the Sect Master and the others."

"Dongyang City?" A glint flashed in Yu Mingxiao's eyes. During this time, he had already thoroughly investigated the cities of the Sun Moon Empire. Dongyang City was the largest granary in the north and the only large city in the north that could be considered of any size.

It's unexpected that the Starry Sky Sect would dare to hide in such a bustling city. I don't know if they're just bold and unafraid of trouble, or if they've calculated that the Sun Moon Empire will only think they're hiding in some remote corner.

Two days later, Ye Lin and Yu Mingxiao arrived at a secluded house.

"Elder Ye, you're back. And who is this?"

A middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth came forward, his gaze falling on Yu Mingxiao, his face full of doubt.

"This is Mr. Yu, a reclusive expert who has come to pay his respects to the Sect Master and has something to discuss," Ye Lin introduced, raising his hand.

"A reclusive expert?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, looking Yu Mingxiao up and down. Seeing how young he was, he didn't believe it at all, but since Elder Ye had said so, how could a gatekeeper like him dare to say anything more? He quickly invited them into a small room.

Ye Lin dismissed the man, pressed a mechanism inside the room, and the ground beneath his feet immediately slid open to the sides, revealing an entrance leading underground.

"Mr. Yu, this way please." Ye Lin raised his hand to lead the way, and went down into the cave first.

Yu Mingxiao remained silent, secretly conducting Spirit Detection and silently following behind him.

The two passed through a narrow, dark tunnel and arrived at a spacious underground stone hall.

Several Soul Guidance Lamp stood at the four corners of the hall, illuminating the underground space considerably.

Dozens of people were hiding here, most of them meditating and cultivating.

Yu Mingxiao found it absurd and wasn't sure if he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth...

"Second Elder, why are you back so soon? And who is this gentleman?" An old man came forward, his gaze towards Yu Mingxiao full of doubt.

Ye Lin introduced with a smile, "Sixth Brother, this is Mr. Yu, a reclusive expert. Don't let his young age fool you, he killed two Titled Douluo experts from the Sun Moon Empire and is now wanted by the entire country, just like us."

"He actually killed two Titled Douluo?" The man called Lao Liu was shocked and quickly bowed to Yu Mingxiao. "I've heard so much about you, Mr. Yu. May I ask what brings you here?"

Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "No need for formalities. Is your Sect Master here?"

Second Elder, we have guests!

Just then, a clear and crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

The Sixth Elder and Ye Lin quickly stepped aside to make way, bowing in unison. "Sect Master."

A tall, beautiful woman approached slowly, her gaze calmly fixed on Yu Mingxiao. She said softly, "I am Ye Lingshuang, the Sect Master the Starry Sky Sect. Do you have anything to say?"

Yu Mingxiao's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke calmly, "Sect Master Ye, your Starry Sky Sect was destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire. You must hate them to the core, right?"

Ye Lingshuang's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her heart filled with intense hatred.

Her father died tragically at the hands of the Sun Moon Empire while covering the retreat of her clan. For her, there was not only the hatred of the destruction of her sect, but also the pain of losing her father.

However, she could tell that the other party's words were not unintentional, and immediately said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Yu Mingxiao said, "I can help your Starry Sky Sect avenge themselves, but I have one condition."

"Revenge? What kind of revenge are you talking about?"

Ye Lingshuang didn't rush to ask about the conditions; instead, she questioned his strength.

Yu Mingxiao said, "Of course it's to annihilate the Sun Moon Imperial Family. What other kind of revenge could it be? I can handle any of the powerful figures within the royal family."

"You have that ability?" Ye Lingshuang was completely astonished, unable to believe his words at all.

Yu Mingxiao said, "Whether we have the ability or not, we'll know once we try."

Ye Lingshuang asked, "Do you know how powerful the Sun Moon Empire is?"

"How powerful is it?" Yu Mingxiao asked with great interest.

He was also curious about how powerful the top combat forces on the Sun Moon Continent were, and how they compared to those on the Douluo Continent.

"It seems you have absolutely no idea about the true strength of the Sun Moon Empire."

Ye Lingshuang, feeling somewhat disappointed that he had been spouting empty boasts, said, "As far as I know, the strongest force in the Sun Moon Empire is the Offering Hall."

"Hidden inside is a level 98 top expert, five Super Douluo from Level 95 to 97, and more than a dozen Titled Douluo from level 91 to 94."

"To get rid of Xu Kun, we first need the strength to stand up to this group."

"Only level 98?" Yu Mingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that the top level of Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire was indeed much lower than that of the Douluo Continent.

Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu from the Douluo Continent are both Level 99 powerhouses.

Level 99 and level 98 may seem like only one level difference, but they are worlds apart. To put it bluntly, a Level 99 powerhouse could easily kill three level 98 experts.

His strength had long surpassed that of Level 99 Limit Douluo, making it incredibly easy for him to deal with the elders of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Only level ninety-eight?" Ye Lingshuang's pupils contracted, her tone full of surprise and doubt, "Could it be that your cultivation has already reached the limit of the world's Soul Master?"

"More or less." Yu Mingxiao nodded slightly, without elaborating on his Soul Power Level.

Although he was only a level 96 Super Douluo, his combat power was comparable to that of a god.

He doesn't deny that he's Limit Douluo, which isn't arrogance, but rather humility...

"He didn't deny it..." Ye Lingshuang was shocked. She looked Yu Mingxiao up and down. Although she couldn't see through his Soul Power Level, he didn't have the slightest aura of a strong person.

Is he... really the legendary Limit Douluo?

Ye Lingshuang's emotions were churning. She composed herself and asked, "So what are your conditions?"

"I demand that your Starry Sky Sect pledge allegiance to me!" Yu Mingxiao said in a deep voice.

"This..." Ye Lingshuang looked troubled, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "This matter is of great importance. May I discuss it with the elders for a moment?"

"No problem." Yu Mingxiao waved his hand and smiled calmly. "Sect Master Ye can discuss this for as long as he wants. However, the Starry Sky Sect is currently in a difficult situation. The path before you is either to be annexed by the Sun Moon Empire or to be completely destroyed. I hope you will carefully consider my proposal."

Ye Lingshuang glanced at him with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, "Thank you, please wait here for a moment."

After saying this, she immediately summoned the four elders of the sect and together they went into the underground Secret Room to discuss important matters.
