After all, many people had witnessed what happened inside the secret realm. There was no need to conceal it.
He might as well be open about it and walk straight out with the imperial weapon in hand.
Besides, the Ye Lineage had always been Ye Wushuang's staunchest backing. Anyone who dared harbor ill intentions-
He would simply cut them down!
Seeing the All Under Heaven Sword in Ye Wushuang's hand, everyone present knew that this Heavenly Son of the Ye Lineage had crushed the prodigies of all the factions.
Ye Wushuang walked calmly toward the Ye Lineage's group. The many Ye disciples and the grand elder were all delighted, laughing heartily.
"As expected, it had to be our Ye Lineage's Heavenly Son who suppressed the prodigies of this generation!"
"With Heavenly Son Wushuang here, our Ye Lineage can still call itself invincible in this generation!"
"A disciple of our clan has the makings of a Great Emperor!"
The prodigies of the other major factions returned to their respective groups with complicated expressions, looking utterly helpless.
This Heavenly Son of the Ye Lineage was far too powerful. He had already put them through every kind of suffering in the secret realm.
Yet it was also this very Heavenly Son of the Ye Lineage who had saved them from fire and water.
The prodigies present could truly be said to both love and hate Ye Wushuang.
On the Nine Nether Imperial Dynasty's side, their expressions were ugly. The old man leading them spoke to Ming Ye.
"How is this possible? With your strength, how did you let that Ye brat obtain the imperial artifact?"
Faced with the old leader's questioning, Ming Ye could not even be bothered to respond. He glanced at him and walked toward the back.
If you're so capable, do it yourself!
Up ahead, the masked sword cultivator had no faction waiting to receive him and was preparing to leave. Watching his retreating figure, Ye Wushuang followed him.
He also intended to try recruiting this prodigy and build up his own circle of friends and family in the future.
Walking alongside the masked sword cultivator, Ye Wushuang smiled. "How about visiting my Ye Lineage?"
The masked sword cultivator replied, "No need, Brother Ye. I'm used to being free and unfettered."
"Even if you escort a friend a thousand miles, you must part in the end."
"I have a feeling we'll meet again very soon."
With that, the masked sword cultivator laughed and departed without a care.
Among Immortal Feather Mountain's group, Situ Xue was explaining something to the peak master leading them.
Turning her head, she smiled sweetly at Ye Wushuang. "Come find me when you're free, white-haired Heavenly Son big brother."
On Heavenly Demon Mountain's side, Nie Qingcheng stood proudly at the front. Even the elder leading them stood a step behind her.
Only this elder knew just how high this holy maiden's standing in Heavenly Demon Mountain truly was.
Jin Zhan, meanwhile, looked rather dejected. This trip into the secret realm had completely shattered his mentality.
Not only had Ye Wushuang's side beaten him savagely, but the holy maiden on his own side had also beaten him savagely.
Returning to his clan's group, Ye Wushuang pulled Xie Qianli over. "Big lug, how about I take you to sample my Ye Lineage's delicacies?"
At these words, Xie Qianli's face lit up. "There's such a good deal? Brother Wushuang, I won't stand on ceremony, then."
Ye Wushuang raised his sword-like brows slightly. You little rascal, how could I fail to win you over?
By prescribing the right medicine for the ailment, Ye Wushuang had truly gotten Xie Qianli firmly in hand.
After learning that Ye Wushuang had saved their disciples, the many factions knew they owed him a favor. They came over one after another to thank the Ye Lineage before leaving.
Only a few factions led by the Nine Nether Imperial Dynasty remained.
Nie Qingcheng strolled over, seemingly having seen through the Nine Nether Imperial Dynasty's intentions.
She said little, but her meaning went without saying: she would stand on Ye Wushuang's side.
The old man leading the Nine Nether Imperial Dynasty's group spoke indifferently, his gaze icy. "Isn't it rather inappropriate for the Ye Lineage to take the lion's share just like that?"
A streak of Light Sword Qi from the Ye Lineage's grand elder answered him, making his stance clear.
Without another word, the leaders of the other factions also attacked.
Heavenly Demon Mountain's peak master intercepted one of them, and they fought.
The remaining leaders of the older generation roared in unison and swarmed forward.
They intended to combine their strength to suppress the Ye Lineage's grand elder.
"A mantis raising its arms to stop a chariot. Truly, anyone dares provoke my Ye Lineage now. Today, I'll show you what gives my Ye Lineage the right to be proud."
Light Sword Qi crisscrossed around the Ye Lineage's grand elder as he stopped every one of them alone.
The Nine Nether Imperial Dynasty's old man appeared behind the grand elder, attempting a sneak attack, but could not get close. The moment his nether power touched the Light Sword Qi, it dissipated outright.
Truly worthy of the Immortal Ancient Ye Clan.
It was not merely the younger generation. The Ye Lineage's elders were also incomparably powerful, fighting many opponents alone.
In the blink of an eye, the Ye Lineage's grand elder had actually suppressed the opposing side single-handedly.
The assembled experts paled. They all belonged to Emperor Clans, so how could the disparity be so great?
Was this Ye Lineage truly so terrifying?!
The grand elder flickered and soared into the sky. In an instant, everyone felt surrounded by holy light.
"Holy Light Art!"
Those enveloped within it let out waves of anguished wails.
These men, renowned within their respective factions, were now being driven back again and again, utterly disheveled.
The pressure grew even greater, and streak after streak of Light Sword Qi hurtled toward them.
Every one of them was terrified beyond measure. This grand elder of the Ye Lineage actually intended to kill them!
In the blink of an eye, their divine abilities crumbled, and all signs of life vanished.
The grand elder alone battled the assembled experts!
The grand elder overwhelmed myriad arts with his strength alone!
Xie Qianli stared dumbfounded. "Your Ye Lineage's elders are this outstanding too? They're much better fighters than those old men in my clan."
Ye Wushuang's expression also turned solemn. This is the clan's foundation of confidence-the Ye Lineage that none may offend!
The grand elder descended and returned to Ye Wushuang's side, saying softly, "Heavenly Son, let us return to the clan."
Ye Wushuang nodded.
He flashed to Nie Qingcheng's side, gently stroked her hair, and teased, "Little phoenix, thank you."
Nie Qingcheng's pretty face flushed slightly. She had actually accepted such overstepping behavior subconsciously.
Ye Wushuang smiled calmly. Acting this way with someone he had just met would be far too much like a lecher.
But after sharing some experiences, appropriate contact could instead deepen their feelings.
Once she grew accustomed to it, she would be easier to get firmly in hand.
Xie Qianli chuckled. Didn't I say you two were a good match!
He was still grinning foolishly when he felt another blow land on his head. "We're leaving, big lug. Do you still want to taste my Ye Lineage's delicacies?"
Within the Ye Lineage's ancestral grounds.
Ye Wushuang's palace was now filled with Sword Intent.
After returning to the clan and settling Xie Qianli in, Ye Wushuang had spent his time comprehending the All Under Heaven Sword's various divine abilities.
His gains from the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm had been substantial. Two pages of the Heavenly Book of All Things had turned, and both recorded objects with karmic ties to Great Emperors.
One was the sword phantom of the Great Emperor of Eternal Night's All Under Heaven Sword.
The other was the Netherdark Dragon Venerable's dragon bone.
The scene of those two battling had also brought Ye Wushuang abundant sudden insights and tremendous inspiration.
His Supreme Bone and Human Emperor Body had also been developed.
Upon his return, Ye Wushuang had also crossed an entire major realm in one leap, entering the very pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Once he entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm and opened multiple grotto-heavens, he would need to enshrine divine objects within them.
Ye Wushuang could already begin preparing and refining the objects to be enshrined in his grotto-heavens.
He already possessed supreme treasures of the five elements, but he would not stop at five grotto-heavens.
He would have to start searching the clan for suitable treasures, and he would also have to begin looking for other treasures himself.
As Ye Wushuang pondered, a voice rang out.
"Master, please sign in at the Heavenly Star Imperial Dynasty."
