What was going on? Their holy maidens had been perfectly fine when they left, yet in the blink of an eye, they were about to hold a dual cultivation ceremony with Shi Yi?
The cultivators of the Heaven Mending Sect and the Heaven Severing Sect instantly realized that something was amiss. There was something fishy here. Their holy maidens were definitely not willing-they had been coerced.
"Shi Yi has some nerve! He actually wants to take our sect's holy maiden for himself?"
"This will have a major impact on our sect. We cannot let Shi Yi succeed."
"Report this to the Upper Realm immediately. Even the holy maiden has been subdued. This is no longer something we can handle."
Both Great Teachings reacted swiftly.
Without exception, they requested reinforcements from the Upper Realm. Their forces in the Lower Realm simply could not do anything to Shi Yi.
Many major powers received the news as well. They knew the origins of the Heaven Mending Sect and the Heaven Severing Sect—both were supreme Great Teachings rooted in the Upper Realm. Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
They all believed this was the price the two supreme Great Teachings had offered to recruit Shi Yi.
"Shi Yi's talent is so extraordinary that even the Great Teachings of the Upper Realm are tempted. They're willing to offer their holy maidens as his Dao companions."
In Stone Village, Shi Hao also heard the news.
"Marrying two holy maidens at once. That Shi Yi really is blessed," Baldy muttered.
"Heh, I think Shi Yi has grown complacent. He's achieved a little success, and now his eyes have wandered elsewhere," Big Red Bird said.
"Shi Yi isn't that kind of person. His heart is set on the Dao, and his resolve is as firm as bedrock.
