Chapter 2764: I'll Be Back in a Flash!

Seeing Ye Yuan's surprise, Luo Yunqing thought his 'achievements' were impressive, and couldn't help feeling a bit smug.

Indeed, in just over a hundred years, he had not only cultivated to the Half-Step Saint Emperor Heaven but also built up such a massive force—he had the right to be proud.

"Brother Luo, are you... the strongest in the Blood Alliance?" Ye Yuan asked.

"Of course!"

Luo Yunqing nodded. "Our Blood Alliance has nearly a thousand members, including me, with three Alliance Leaders—one chief and two deputies—all at Half-Step Saint Emperor Heaven! The other two are experts from the Wanxiang Heaven Sect and the Shangyu Heaven Sect! Come, let's head back to the Blood Alliance first, and we'll plan the future in detail!"

Luo Yunqing grabbed Ye Yuan and, without giving him a chance to refuse, tore through the void.

Ye Yuan had no choice but to go along reluctantly.

Ye Yuan was somewhat disappointed. Not a single Saint Emperor Heaven—they couldn't possibly make any waves!

To the Dan Alliance, they were probably just small fry, right?

Perhaps even less intimidating than a single word from him.

Along the way, the two exchanged pleasantries.

Ye Yuan didn't hide much and briefly recounted how he had ended up in the Tiannan Region by accident.

Luo Yunqing simply assumed Ye Yuan had trained hard in the Tiannan Region to achieve his current level and didn't think much of it.

After all, in just over a hundred years, for Ye Yuan to reach the Upper Jade Emperor Heaven was already remarkable.

During the journey, Luo Yunqing was cautious, not daring to make a big show.

Half a month later, the two arrived at a mountain range on the edge of the Chenxi Heaven Domain.

In the mountains, a waterfall surged violently, like an inverted Milky Way!

Luo Yunqing led Ye Yuan straight through the great waterfall into a spatial secret realm.

The scene changed, revealing a hidden paradise.

Inside the secret realm, it was a bustling scene.

Most people were cultivating, while a few were busy with daily chores.

Luo Yunqing smiled. "Ye Yuan, how do you like my place?"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and smiled. "Not bad!"

He genuinely thought it was good. Given Luo Yunqing's personality, building such a large foundation must have cost him a great deal.

"This was originally a small secret realm. Our Blood Alliance conquered it and turned it into our headquarters! No matter how powerful the Dan Alliance is, if we hide in here, they won't find us even if they dig three feet deep! From now on, you can cultivate here in peace and leave everything else to me!"

Just then, two figures approached.

"Alliance Leader!" they said in unison.

Luo Yunqing smiled. "Brothers, perfect timing. Let me introduce you. Ye Yuan, this is Yu Haizheng, once a genius of the Wanxiang Heaven Sect, and this is Zhou Yunxiang, the former Deputy Sect Master of the Shangyu Heaven Sect! They are both Deputy Alliance Leaders of our Blood Alliance, my right-hand men!"

Ye Yuan greeted them. "Brother Yu, Brother Zhou, greetings!"

Yu Haizheng smiled. "I've long heard of Brother Ye's reputation. I've admired you for a long time!"

Luo Yunqing added, "Brothers, this is Ye Yuan from my Wuding Heaven Sect, the founder of the Dan Pavilion! Also, he is the new Alliance Leader of our Blood Alliance!"

At these words, Ye Yuan was startled and knew trouble was coming.

Sure enough, Yu and Zhou both changed expression.

"Alliance Leader, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Yunxiang said darkly.

Luo Yunqing waved it off. "Ye Yuan is the new Sect Master of my Wuding Heaven Sect, so naturally he cannot be subordinate to me! Hence, from today, Ye Yuan will be the Alliance Leader of the Blood Alliance!"

Before Ye Yuan could say anything, Zhou Yunxiang fumed, "Luo Yunqing, what do you take the Blood Alliance for! We made you Alliance Leader because you earned it through bloody battles! This kid hasn't contributed a thing—why should he be Alliance Leader! Your Wuding Heaven Sect is your business; what does it have to do with us?"

Yu Haizheng also said, "Please, Alliance Leader, rescind the order!"

The news the Blood Alliance had received was that Ye Yuan had returned.

As for what Ye Yuan had done in the Zhenyang Heaven Domain, they didn't know.

Under the Dan Alliance's oppression, it was too hard for these scattered forces to get information.

So, having an Upper Jade Emperor Heaven as their Alliance Leader—they were a thousand times unwilling.

Luo Yunqing's anger showed, but he suppressed it and said sternly, "I have already decided this. Say no more!"

At this point, Ye Yuan had to speak up.

"Brother Luo, I have no interest in the position of Alliance Leader!" Ye Yuan said.

Luo Yunqing waved his hand. "Before the Ancestor passed away, he told me to help you restore the Wuding Heaven Sect! Now, how can I place myself above the Sect Master? Drop the subject!"

Zhou Yunxiang, a rough character, sneered, "Kid, don't be hypocritical here. We won't let you be Alliance Leader! Besides, if it weren't for you back then, the five sects' legacy wouldn't have been destroyed!"

Luo Yunqing's gaze sharpened. "Zhou Yunxiang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Yunxiang sneered. "You know exactly what I mean, don't you?"

Luo Yunqing roared, "The Dan Alliance had been plotting for a long time. Even without the Dan Pavilion, they would have struck eventually! And by then, even we remnants might not have survived! Can't you see that?"

Zhou Yunxiang snorted. "So what? The Blood Alliance was built with the brothers' blood. I just don't want any random cat or dog to come and steal our fruits!"

Ye Yuan was speechless.

Would he be interested in a force that didn't even have a Saint Emperor Heaven?

These people might think they were formidable, making the Dan Alliance helpless.

But in reality, in the eyes of the Dan Alliance, they were nothing but a joke!

Boom!

Suddenly, the secret realm shook violently, and everyone's expression changed.

Just then, a subordinate rushed in panic. "Three Alliance Leaders, disaster! The area around our secret realm is surrounded by the Dan Alliance!"

Luo Yunqing's face changed drastically. "What forces did the Dan Alliance send?"

The subordinate, pale, said, "Outside, there are fifteen Half-Step Saint Emperor Heavens, and countless Jade Emperor Heaven and Wuji Heaven experts! Our base must have been exposed!"

Hearing this, everyone's face turned ashen.

This force was utterly beyond their ability to resist!

The Dan Alliance's army had clearly come prepared!

Zhou Yunxiang's face darkened, and he pointed angrily at Ye Yuan. "It must be this kid! He arrives, and the Dan Alliance follows! Luo Yunqing, you still want him as Alliance Leader?"

Luo Yunqing roared, "Zhou Yunxiang! Say another word and I'll kill you! Ye Yuan is loyal and righteous; he would never betray us!"

But Zhou Yunxiang wasn't buying it. He sneered, "You can know a person's face but not their heart! Besides, so many years have passed—how do you know he hasn't changed? Back then, a mere Great Extreme Heaven, and in just a hundred years, he's become an Upper Jade Emperor Heaven—don't you find that strange?"

Clang!

Luo Yunqing's long sword shot out of its sheath as he struck at Zhou Yunxiang.

Zhou Yunxiang could question him, but not Ye Yuan!

But the strike was blocked.

The one who blocked it was none other than Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Aren't they just a bunch of Half-Step Saint Emperor Heavens? Leave them to me. Brother Luo, wait a moment. I'll be back in a flash."
