Becoming the First Seat at the Start, Signing In for the Ultimate Emperor Armament!

A fiery red phantom appeared above Ou Haochen's head. It floated there, an old man with white hair and sharp eyes, staring intently at Hua Yunfei. Yet, he couldn't see through him at all.

Even someone in the early stages of the Approaching Dao Realm wouldn't escape his perception. Why couldn't he see anything through this young man?

Instantly, he became alert!

This person looked like a youth, but he could be an ancient monster thousands of years old, with profound cultivation!

He might be in the late stages of the Approaching Dao Realm!

If that were the case, it would be dangerous!

His current strength was no match for a peak late-stage Approaching Dao Realm expert of this era!

He roared at Ou Haochen, "Disciple, flee quickly! Your master cannot defeat him!"

Chapter Twenty-Six: Young Hero, Let's Talk

As a former Sage-level expert, the fiery red phantom was certainly not foolish; he was extremely astute!

He wasn't rigid either!

When facing someone he couldn't defeat, or even just based on instinct, he wouldn't hesitate at all and would flee immediately!

It was like this before, and it was like this now!

"Disciple, retreat quickly!"

The fiery red Sage's remnant soul urged anxiously. He was fused with Ou Haochen's soul and couldn't separate unless absolutely necessary!

Hearing his words, Ou Haochen didn't move at all, asking in confusion:

"Master, aren't you a Sage? Can a mere youngster really trouble you?"

"Stop acting and make your move already! I can't wait to use the Blood-Drinking Curse to drain his blood!"

Ou Haochen's face was flushed with excitement. In his eyes, a Sage was invincible!

Although his master was only a remnant soul and couldn't be truly invincible, that was only when facing the Lord of a Sacred Ground or the ancestor of a sect.

Hua Yunfei looked ordinary, at most a hundred years old. How strong could he be at this age?

"I'm acting your mother's smelly ass!"

The Sage's remnant soul was about to curse. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He looked back and saw Hua Yunfei staring at him quietly, a smile playing on his lips.

The more he looked, the more fear he felt in his heart.

He believed his intuition was correct!

He couldn't defeat this person!

"Haochen, this person's true age must be over fifteen hundred years. His youthful appearance is definitely due to consuming special medicine. You absolutely must not be deceived by this facade!"

"Retreat quickly! Listen to your master!"

The Sage's remnant soul urged. Unfortunately, his soul could only survive by borrowing Ou Haochen's soul.

Once separated, he would quickly dissipate.

Otherwise, the moment Ou Haochen spoke, he would have been so angry that he would have fled on his own.

"What? He's not just a little older than me?"

Ou Haochen wasn't completely stupid and immediately understood, inwardly annoyed that he had been fooled by Hua Yunfei's appearance!

As he spoke, he turned and ran. The Sage's remnant soul floated behind his head, constantly urging, "Faster, faster, use your movement techniques!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and sent out a stream of light, which entered Ou Haochen's body.

Instantly, Ou Haochen's speed surged, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him!

Then, the Sage's remnant soul turned and unleashed a confounding Dao technique, attempting to conceal their tracks and ensure a greater chance of escape.

Because he knew that Ou Haochen alone had zero chance of escaping!

A bloody red mist suddenly rose in Qingyang Town, obscuring divine sense and reducing the visible distance to no more than ten feet!

After doing all this, the Sage's remnant soul still felt insecure. He extended his fingers together and guided them, sending out multiple streams of light into the corpses of those who had died in Qingyang Town!

Immediately, those corpses moved. They stood up, roaring ferociously, their eyes turning white, and charged towards Hua Yunfei.

"You disappoint me too much."

"It's my fault for holding any hope for you."

"Disperse!"

With a single word, the surrounding mist and the confinement formation instantly scattered. The charging zombies also fell powerlessly.

The Sage's remnant soul's Dao techniques were nothing in his eyes.

Hua Yunfei casually reached out, and Ou Haochen and the Sage's remnant soul, who had already fled a hundred miles, were instantly lifted off the ground and sent flying back!

The two landed before Hua Yunfei, unable to move!

"Young hero, let's talk nicely!" the Sage's remnant soul said with a fawning smile, rubbing his hands together.

He didn't care at all about his identity as a Sage.

Survival is paramount, how much is face worth?

"Senior, I have Low-Grade Saint Talent. If you let me go, I'll become your disciple!"

"Senior, you must want a disciple with Saint Talent, right? Think how much face that would bring!"

Ou Haochen shouted.

He didn't believe Hua Yunfei wouldn't be tempted by Saint Talent.

Who could resist a disciple with Saint Talent!

"You're the most foolish person I've ever met, without exception."

"The fish I raise are smarter than you!"

Hua Yunfei felt regret and heartache, but he still killed Ou Haochen decisively.

With a flick of his finger, a bloody hole appeared between Ou Haochen's eyebrows, and he fell down, his eyes vacant!

"I'm not reconciled! Why! My remnant soul has just revived, and I haven't done anything!"

"This is so unfair!"

With Ou Haochen's death, his soul was extinguished. The Sage's remnant soul, which had been residing in his soul, would now be destroyed as well.

Unless it could find a new host immediately, it was doomed.

Hua Yunfei looked at his wailing form with no emotion.

Thinking of the Sage's remnant soul's previous behavior, he suddenly had an idea.

"This person, as a Sage's remnant soul, was arrogant, but simply because he felt he couldn't win, he decisively abandoned his pride and fled, not caring about his reputation."

"His personality should be very cautious!"

"To become a Sage, he must have achieved it through caution!"

"Someone like this... should be quite suitable for the Backer Sect..."

"If the Sage's remnant soul has a chance in the future, perhaps it can be reborn through a new body and become a true Sage!"

With this thought, Hua Yunfei made his decision. He pointed a finger, stopping the trend of the Sage's remnant soul's destruction.

"Sen... Senior!" The Sage's remnant soul was still shaken, and he had already called him Senior.

"Don't call me old."

Hua Yunfei waved his hand and said, "I'll give you a chance to live. Let's see if you cherish it."

"I cherish it! I will cherish it very much! No matter what conditions Senior has, as long as I can live, I will agree."

The Sage's remnant soul perfectly demonstrated the principle of a great man knowing when to bend and when to stand tall!

He had to save his life first!

Hua Yunfei nodded, then looked at Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing, saying, "You two are now homeless. Are you willing to return to my sect with me?"

"May I ask what Senior's sect is..." Mu Qingqing began, but before she could finish, Lin Yang suddenly held her hand, signaling her to let him speak.

Lin Yang said, "Senior, Qingqing and I are willing!"

He made the decision immediately. Many seniors had very eccentric temperaments. Since he had saved them first and was now willing to take them in, being too concerned about the sect's name might displease the other party!

"Very good."

Hua Yunfei looked at Lin Yang with appreciation and said, "Since that's the case, you two are now disciples of the Backer Sect. With your talent, especially yours, Lin Yang, becoming a true disciple will be no problem!"

Lin Yang possessed Dao Grade Talent and the Thunder Battle Physique, so becoming a true disciple was a certainty!

As for Mu Qingqing, Hua Yunfei had checked her information. Her talent was likely second only to Lin Yang's in Qingyang Town.

She had Heaven Grade Mid-Tier Talent, and if things went smoothly in the future, she could also become a cultivator in the Celestial Realm.
