Moments later, the Blood Demon Clan's guard captain hurriedly left to report to Tianlan Domain.
Outside the planet, Ye Changshan and Shen Wuqing waited quietly for the so-called vice-leader to come and greet them.
A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
"So slow, how long do they expect us to wait?!"
Shen Wuqing snorted, his tone extremely arrogant, feeling as though his life was being wasted.
However, not long after, a clear and cold voice sounded.
"Don't worry, we have arrived."
As soon as this clear, cold female voice appeared, Shen Wuqing's heart skipped a beat.
His expression changed slightly, and Ye Changshan, who had come with him, also had his expression change.
It wasn't for any other reason than the fact that they had approached him silently and spoken, which was enough to explain a lot.
"Who!"
The two of them suddenly turned their heads, only to see a man and a woman standing not far behind them.
They had never seen the man in black, but the graceful figure in white beside him was all too familiar.
An invisible, terrifying pressure pinned them in place, their expressions stiffening.
The woman in the white dress gazed at the two of them and said faintly, "You two, weren't you waiting for us to greet you?"
Ye Changshan swallowed.
"Senior Xue Mian, why are you here?"
He was not unfamiliar with this peerless female cultivator. She was the Star Lord of Piaoxue Domain, one of the few Creation Gods.
It was beyond his comprehension that she would appear here.
Shen Wuqing was clearly also startled and silently took half a step back.
Facing their astonished gazes, Xue Mian's tone was icy, devoid of any emotion.
"As the Vice-Leader of the Ten Thousand Realms, do I have any problem appearing here?"
"Vice... Vice-Leader?"
This time, Ye Changshan and Shen Wuqing could no longer remain calm.
"You're not joking, are you? You're the Vice-Leader here?!"
"What do you think?"
Xue Mian was too lazy to waste more words on them.
Upon receiving another confirmation, Shen Wuqing's pupils constricted, utterly shocked.
This was Xue Mian, a dignified Creation God, yet she was serving under someone else as the alliance's Vice-Leader?!
It wasn't just her; judging by his aura alone, the man in black beside her was likely a powerful existence at the Creation God level!
He was also a Vice-Leader?!
Two Creation Gods serving as Vice-Leaders – even their Divine Dome Domain couldn't compare to this!
At this moment, the Demon Lord beside Xue Mian could no longer hold back.
He was already swamped with work, and now he heard that someone had come to cause trouble, which made him extremely displeased.
"I say, you two, I heard you wanted us to greet you? Is there something you need?"
The Demon Lord raised his eyebrows at them. If it weren't for the fact that they were from the Divine Dome Domain, he would likely have already made a move.
Hearing this, Ye Changshan and Shen Wuqing exchanged glances.
Finally, Ye Changshan, being the calmer of the two, saw that the situation was unfavorable and quickly plastered on a smile.
"No, no, nothing important. Our Star Lord just heard that Black Emperor was going to make a move against you, so he sent us to check the situation."
"Now that there's no problem, we'll take our leave and report back."
They had originally intended to put Ye Yun and Tianlan Domain in their place, but now it seemed they had provoked someone they couldn't afford to offend.
And they had to report back to their Star Lord immediately. This Tianlan Domain was no simple place, possessing two Creation Gods.
However, before they could leave, the Demon Lord snorted and said.
"Leaving now? Since you're already here, how can you not come in for a seat? Otherwise, wouldn't it be said that my Tianlan Domain lacks hospitality?"
"No, no, no, no need to trouble yourself, really, no need to trouble yourself."
Ye Changshan waved his hands repeatedly. If they stayed, he wasn't sure if they could even leave alive.
But the Demon Lord clearly wasn't going to argue with them. He narrowed his eyes and said.
"I think you likely have no right to refuse!"
As his voice fell, he slightly raised his hand, and balls of blood-red divine power shot out.
Ye Changshan and Shen Wuqing's faces changed, and by the time they wanted to dodge, it was too late.
The two were instantly enveloped and could no longer move, at the mercy of their captors.
At this moment, the Demon Lord's icy voice echoed from outside.
"To dare to be presumptuous in Tianlan Domain, it would be more appropriate to have your Star Lord Shen Qing come personally."
The guard captain had informed them of what had happened outside, including their arrogant demeanor, so there was no way they would be allowed to leave so easily.
No matter how much they struggled within the light spheres, they could not break free.
The Demon Lord didn't even glance at them and looked at Xue Mian, saying.
"All done. Let's get back to work. The Leader doesn't know when he'll be back."
Xue Mian nodded, not paying any mind to the two from the Divine Dome Domain.
After all, even if Shen Qing came in person, these two had been the ones to cause trouble first.
...
Several days later, a shooting star descended from the sky.
It was Ye Yun, returning with his wife Xing Wu and Chen Yan'er.
"I'm back!"
Ye Yun's hearty voice resounded across the land.
As his voice fell, figures shot up into the sky, revealing Lin Xueyan and the others.
"Master! You're back so soon!"
Among them, Fang Zhiwei rushed forward.
As soon as she arrived, she gave Ye Yun a warm hug.
Ye Yun smiled, patted her head, and nodded.
"Yes, the matter was resolved quite smoothly, so I returned early."
After speaking, he didn't forget to introduce Chen Yan'er beside him.
"By the way, everyone, let me introduce you to your new junior sister, Chen Yan'er!"
At this moment, Chen Yan'er also stepped forward, smiling and greeting them.
"Hello, Senior Sisters!"
Seeing this, Lin Xueyan and the other women were stunned. Master had taken another disciple?
Fang Zhiwei was delighted and immediately rushed forward, laughing.
"Wow, another junior sister! Hello, hello!"
"Uh..."
This overly enthusiastic attitude made Chen Yan'er a little taken aback.
Seeing her so excited, Ye Yun directly reached out from behind and grabbed Fang Zhiwei by her collar, pulling her aside to lecture her.
"I say, don't get so excited, and don't try to corrupt her for your Master!"
Ever since he took Fang Zhiwei as his disciple, the style of his sect had been deteriorating day by day.
He felt that sooner or later, it would devolve into R-rated plotlines.
Hearing this, Fang Zhiwei stuck out her tongue and said unwillingly.
"How could I? I've learned my lesson now, I've grown up!"
Ye Yun gave her a look and pointed at the book with the printed cover in her hand.
"Is that so? Then let me see the book in your hand?"
"Uh... this..."
Fang Zhiwei only then realized that she hadn't put the book away after finishing it.
She immediately coughed and quickly put the book away, pretending to whistle innocently.
"Huh? A book? What book?"
