"Dao Ancestor powerhouse!"
"Retreat!"
The leader, a Level Eight Virtual Ancestor mountain bandit, turned ashen, glared fiercely at the pitifully innocent girl, and roared, "Just you wait!!"
At this moment, the Level Eight Virtual Ancestor mountain bandit was so furious he felt his lungs would burst. Damn it, he had been a mountain bandit for so many years, and this was the first time he had been robbed. And by a mere girl! If this got out, how could he ever hold his head up in the bandit community?
He took a deep look at the girl, memorizing her appearance. Next time he saw this little vixen, he would make her pay.
Soon, the dozen or so mountain bandits vanished from sight.
It was a joke to think they would dare linger here. After all, that guy possessed Dao Ancestor strength, which was utterly beyond their ability to handle.
"Big brother, thank you."
"Heh heh... but goodbye then~~"
As the girl's voice faded, she immediately executed a short-range teleportation talisman given to her by the Old Ancestor of the Demonic Sect. Such talismans were extremely rare, possessed only by immortal powerhouses who had mastered formations.
Yet, at this moment, it was being used by this girl for the purpose of robbery and escape. If the Old Ancestor of the Demonic Sect were to find out, he would surely be so enraged he'd spit blood.
"Huh~"
"My spatial ring!?"
Ji Wutian realized something was amiss at this moment. Clearly, his spatial ring had vanished at some unknown time. Coupled with the girl's triumphant tone, it was obvious she knew everything.
"Is this... a teleportation array?"
Ji Wutian saw the Demonic Sect girl crush the talisman, its fluctuations unmistakably indicating teleportation. Truly a cunning woman.
Ye Xuan's lips curled into a smile. He then unleashed his spacetime power, instantly immobilizing the Demonic Sect girl, including the talisman she had just crushed. In this manner, he froze the Demonic Sect girl in place.
A joke?
Ye Xuan was now at the peak of Level Eight Dao Ancestor. The Demonic Sect girl before him had only just entered the peak of Level Nine Venerable. How could she possibly break free?
"What!?"
Sensing she was immobilized, the Demonic Sect girl, Yu Hongyu, her pretty face changed drastically. "This is... the bane of teleportation talismans that old guy mentioned, spacetime power! How is this possible!!?"
Yu Hongyu looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, even forgetting that she was subdued by him. "You actually mastered spacetime power!"
Clearly, this was the ability Yu Hongyu had always longed to learn. If she possessed such power, combined with her nimble fingers, there would be nothing in the world she couldn't obtain.
Thinking of this, a gleam appeared in Yu Hongyu's eyes.
"Little girl, not old, but quite bold."
Looking at the immobilized Yu Hongyu, Ji Wutian then retrieved his spatial ring and chuckled. His gaze towards Yu Hongyu changed.
He, a dignified peak Level Four Dao Ancestor, had actually been robbed of his spatial ring by a mere peak Level Nine Venerable youngster! If this were to spread, he would lose all face.
*Plop~*
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, Yu Hongyu knelt on the ground. The kneel was so fluid and natural that, to Ji Wutian's astonishment, Yu Hongyu kowtowed on the ground. "Master, I pay my respects to you as my disciple."
Ji Wutian couldn't help but show a look of bewilderment. Had this little lass hit her head and lost her mind?
"Ding! Host triggers random mission: take Yu Hongyu, daughter of the Demonic Sect Leader, as a disciple, teach her spacetime power, gain 3000 Haotian Coins, and receive 5000 medium-grade immortal crystals as a bonus!"
Huh?
Looking at the girl kneeling respectfully before him, Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned. Good heavens?
This girl was actually the daughter of the Demonic Sect Leader. If he recalled correctly, the Demonic Sect was one of the four supreme forces of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom.
No wonder this little lass had such peculiar methods. So she was from the Demonic Sect. However, the Demonic Sect didn't have a good reputation in the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, and was jointly targeted by the other three supreme forces and the eight super-powers.
Damn it, the system was trying to stir up trouble.
A joke?
If the outside world found out that he, Ye Xuan, had taken the daughter of the Demonic Sect Leader as a disciple, countless people would likely want to kill him. However, Ye Xuan was clearly unfazed by this.
Ordinary people might refuse, but he was different. In his eyes, the entire Haotian Immortal Kingdom would be trampled under his feet in the not-too-distant future.
"You wish to take me as your master."
Looking at Yu Hongyu kneeling before him, Ye Xuan asked in a calm voice.
"Yes, Master."
Yu Hongyu immediately began to flatter him. "From the moment Hongyu first saw Master, I was captivated by your dignified, handsome, and exceptionally charming demeanor. My admiration for Master is like the endless flow of a great river, like the uncontainable surge of the Yellow River..."
"Furthermore, Master's spacetime power just now enlightened me. If Hongyu is fortunate enough to learn even a fraction of it, I will undoubtedly bring glory to Master's name."
Saying this, Yu Hongyu took another spatial ring from her waist. "As a token of my sincerity in becoming your disciple, here are 1000 top-grade immortal crystals. Please accept them as my filial piety."
Ji Wutian, "!!!!"
"What... 1000 top-grade immortal crystals!!"
Undoubtedly, Ji Wutian was shocked at this moment. He looked at Yu Hongyu with wide eyes. Who was this little lass? With such resources, why was she still robbing people?
However, Ji Wutian had no idea about the enjoyment Yu Hongyu derived from robbing.
"Oh."
Hearing Yu Hongyu's words, Ye Xuan was also slightly surprised. This little lass was quite willing to pay a hefty price. After taking the spatial ring, he saw that it contained over a thousand top-grade immortal crystals. If immortals were to know this, they would probably go berserk.
"Given your filial piety, I shall accept you as my disciple."
Ye Xuan calmly put away the spatial ring, then looked at Yu Hongyu. "From now on, you are the sixth disciple under my tutelage, Ye Xuan."
"Really!"
Hearing her Master's words, Yu Hongyu immediately became excited and kowtowed again. "Disciple Yu Hongyu thanks Master for fulfilling my wish!"
"Heh heh, Master, are you tired? Hongyu can help you with a shoulder massage."
Yu Hongyu skillfully entered the service, showing no shyness at all. This scene made Ji Wutian stare blankly. Good heavens... his second brother seemed to have taken another extraordinarily gifted disciple.
But... did his second brother have so many disciples? This one was already the sixth.
After a period of enjoyment, Ye Xuan looked at Yu Hongyu. "However, don't celebrate too early."
"It's not impossible for me to teach you spacetime power, but there is one condition."
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, then called out his fifth disciple, Bing Xiaoxue.
The moment Bing Xiaoxue appeared, Ji Wutian and Yu Hongyu distinctly felt the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees. Ye Xuan then smiled slightly. "This is your fifth senior sister. Her current strength has just entered the realm of Level One Virtual Ancestor."
"When the day comes that you can withstand ten moves from your fifth senior sister, I will teach you spacetime power."
Ji Wutian was stunned upon hearing this. Level One Virtual Ancestor?
Good heavens!
How old was this girl? She was probably around the same age as his other disciples, just over ten years old, and yet she was already a Level One Virtual Ancestor?
"Wow~"
"Master, is this my fifth senior sister? She's so beautiful!!"
The moment Yu Hongyu saw Bing Xiaoxue, her eyes lit up. Bing Xiaoxue, looking at Yu Hongyu, had a flash in her eyes. "Fifth Senior Sister? Master... have you taken a new junior sister for us??"
