With this statement, Long Yan was clearly tempted!
This was a joke!
Who would choose to die if they could live? Moreover, he still had unfinished business.
The Longyang Empire... ultimately, it was something he could never let go of!
"Little friend Ye, are you speaking the truth?"
Although it was somewhat incredible, Long Yan was very sure that Ye Xuan would not lie to him. Ever since this young fellow appeared in the Longyang Empire, he had walked a path like a miracle. Even the Thunder King who had shattered the heavens ten thousand years ago probably didn't have this young fellow's prodigious talent!
"Naturally, it is true."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. Not to mention extending Long Yan's life by a few hundred years, even thousands or tens of thousands of years were not a problem.
"However, I have a condition?"
With the setup complete, Ye Xuan finally revealed his intentions. Long Yan was not angry or surprised by this, because compared to living a few hundred more years, any condition was negotiable.
"Oh."
"Little friend Ye, please speak."
Long Yan's interest was piqued. He clearly wanted to know what kind of condition could allow him to live for several hundred more years.
"Hehe, the condition is very simple."
He paused, and Ye Xuan continued, "That is... Senior, you must become one of us."
"One of us?"
Obviously, Ye Xuan's words left Long Yan somewhat bewildered. Didn't they already consider themselves as one of them? After all, they all belonged to the Longyang Empire.
"Indeed!"
At this point, Ye Xuan got straight to the point. "Senior, I won't mince words. I have established a force called the Xuan Alliance within the Star River Empire. It has already taken initial shape, but it lacks experts to oversee it. I wish for Senior to become the guardian of the Xuan Alliance."
"Hmm!?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Long Yan narrowed his eyes. "Good kid!"
"You have a big appetite!!"
Long Yan naturally understood what these words meant. He just didn't expect this kid to have his own force.
The Xuan Alliance?
It had to be known that Long Yan was a peak sixth-tier Void Ancestor. With such strength, he could walk sideways even in the Silver River Empire. This request was ten times more audacious than a lion's mouth.
"Of course, I won't delay all of Senior's time."
Ye Xuan clearly knew that this condition was a bit demanding. He then said, "How about this, Senior? If I extend Senior's lifespan by a hundred years, will Senior only need to serve as the guardian of the Xuan Alliance for ten years?"
"This..."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Long Yan fell silent. After all, his focus would still be on the Longyang Empire, which was beyond doubt.
"Good!"
Long Yan weighed the pros and cons. Extending his life by a hundred years, and only serving this young fellow for ten years, he could be considered to have gained ninety years.
"I agree!"
Long Yan pondered for a moment and then agreed. This method could lead to a win-win situation for both of them, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Hehe, in that case, I'll take Senior to a place."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and then said, "Please don't resist later, Senior."
Just like that...
The next moment, Ye Xuan brought Long Yan into the Exquisite Pagoda.
As expected, feeling the small world around him, Long Yan's eyes surged with astonishment. "This... is actually a legendary small world. Little friend Ye is indeed extraordinary."
Long Yan licked his lips and felt the surroundings. "Such dense energy, and also... the flow of time?"
"Power of Time??"
Clearly, Long Yan was shocked at this moment. His pupils suddenly contracted. "It can actually alter the flow of time, truly a heaven-defying technique!"
"And the flow of time here is as much as 6 times that of the outside!"
Seeing Long Yan's shocked expression, Ye Xuan smiled slightly. Long Yan's reaction was normal in his opinion.
A joke?
With such a technique, it would be abnormal if Long Yan remained unfazed!
Of course!
This was just the beginning...
A peak sixth-tier Void Ancestor like Long Yan was a good strong individual, and Long Yan's strength would bring nothing but benefits to him and the Xuan Alliance.
Next, Ye Xuan took out a drop of vital blood. This blood was the vital blood of the Black Dragon.
"Senior, try this."
A drop of vital blood fell into Long Yan's palm and floated. Long Yan could clearly feel a dense ferocity emanating from it, and faint dragon roars could be heard.
"This is... Dragon Tribe Vital Blood!!"
Seeing the Black Dragon Vital Blood, Long Yan gasped. Dragon Tribe Vital Blood was an extremely precious item. Legend had it that the guardian beast of the Hao Tian Immortal Kingdom, which ruled the Silver River Empire, was a dragon. As for whether it was true or not, no one knew.
"Little friend Ye, this gift... is too precious."
"This old man cannot accept it!"
Although Long Yan knew this gift was very important to him, he also understood very well that it was extremely valuable.
"It's fine."
Ye Xuan waved his hand. Although countless experts in the Hao Tian Immortal Kingdom would fight tooth and nail for the Black Dragon Vital Blood, Ye Xuan could obtain it in minutes. If Little Black saw this, he didn't know if he would fight Ye Xuan to the death.
"The stronger Senior is, the more it benefits me, both publicly and privately."
"Moreover..."
At this point, Ye Xuan's gaze fell on Long Yan. "Senior, you wanted to extend your life, and this drop of Dragon Tribe Vital Blood can achieve that."
"This?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Long Yan fell silent.
After a long while, his eyes surged with gratitude, and he sighed deeply. "Alright then, little friend Ye, this old man remembers your kindness!"
Long Yan nodded solemnly and finally accepted the drop of Dragon Tribe Vital Blood, secretly resolving to repay it tenfold in the future.
A quarter of an hour later.
With his formidable strength, Long Yan refined the Black Dragon Vital Blood. As expected... Long Yan's original peak sixth-tier Void Ancestor strength directly advanced to the peak extreme of the sixth-tier Void Ancestor, just one step away from the seventh-tier Void Ancestor realm.
After a short while.
Long Yan opened his eyes, and two streaks of sharp light shot out from them. "Three hundred years of lifespan!"
"As expected of Dragon Tribe Vital Blood!!"
With just this drop of blood, Long Yan's lifespan was extended by three hundred years. This meant that from this transaction alone, Long Yan would have to serve as the guardian of the Xuan Alliance for thirty years.
"Senior, I have a pill here called the [Ancestral Breaking Pill]. It can enhance the strength of Void Ancestors below the ninth tier by one level without any side effects. I believe... with this pill, Senior will be able to break through to the seventh-tier Void Ancestor realm!"
"What!?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, a pill that made even him incredibly coveted immediately appeared before Long Yan's eyes. This pill was precisely the [Ancestral Breaking Pill]. Just inhaling its scent caused Long Yan's cultivation to subtly increase, showing the immense efficacy of this [Ancestral Breaking Pill].
"This..."
Although he didn't know the exact efficacy of the [Ancestral Breaking Pill], it was definitely of great use to his current realm.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Long Yan's lips were filled with bitterness. "Little friend Ye, this great kindness... I fear I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. Alas~~"
Long Yan said this, but he didn't know that the moment he agreed to become the guardian of the Xuan Alliance, he was destined to not escape Ye Xuan's 'claws'.
