Upon entering the main hall, the Grand Elder had already been waiting for a long time.
"Elder."
"Saint."
The two nodded to each other, and then Ye Lin turned to look at the ten young men beside him, all of whom were Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and Inner Sect Disciples of the Qingyun Sect.
"Greetings, Saint."
The ten respectfully bowed to Ye Lin.
"En, Grand Elder, let's depart."
"Alright."
After speaking, Ye Lin and the Grand Elder walked side by side, with the ten young men following behind them.
"Hiss, the Grand Elder, the Saint, and ten Senior Brothers, such a luxurious lineup! What are they planning to do? Are they going to war with a certain Sect?"
"I don't know, maybe they're going to eradicate those despicable evil Cultivators."
Seeing Ye Lin and his group, the Inner Sect Disciples around them, who were unaware of the situation, all took a deep breath.
This was the first time they had seen such a luxurious lineup.
The Qingyun Sect had been silent for too long, so long that the major powers had already forgotten the Qingyun Sect's former deterrent power.
So long that even its own Disciple no longer felt that their Sect was strong.
Upon arriving at the Sect's location, Ye Lin followed behind the Grand Elder, flying on a Flying Sword. The sword light streaked across the sky, flying towards the Saint King Sect.
To reclaim the Burning Sky Mine, they had to negotiate with the Saint King Sect.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Saint King Sect.
Before them was a massive mountain gate, surrounded by white mist. Two Qi Training Ninth Layer Disciples of the Saint King Sect stood at the entrance, their eyes surveying the surroundings.
After the group descended from their Flying Swords, the gate-keeping Disciple, seeing this, quickly ran into the Sect.
A few seconds later, an old man with red hair and a white beard walked out with a smile.
"Hahaha, old fellow, so many years have passed, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to still be alive."
"Hmph, I won't die even if you do."
The Grand Elder snorted coldly, his Face full of displeasure.
"This must be the newly promoted Saint of the Qingyun Sect, right? I am Feng Shao, the Grand Elder of the Saint King Sect."
"Senior Feng."
Ye Lin nodded to Feng Shao, which counted as a salute.
"Come, let's go inside and talk."
Feng Shao looked at the ten Disciples behind Ye Lin, his expression visibly sinking, then quickly returning to normal.
The group arrived in a magnificent grand hall, and within the hall stood a middle-aged man and a young man.
"Sect Master, the Qingyun Sect Saint has arrived."
Feng Shao whispered to the middle-aged man above.
"Hahaha, so it's the Qingyun Sect Saint, my apologies, my apologies. I am Chu Xiao, the current Sect Master of the Saint King Sect, please be seated."
Chu Xiao, full of apologies, immediately stood up and greeted them.
Ye Lin and the Grand Elder smiled and sat down beside him.
"Senior Chu, I believe you already know the purpose of our visit, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Please have the Saint King Sect's Disciples withdraw from the Burning Sky Mine."
"My Qingyun Sect Disciples will arrive tomorrow to take over."
Looking at Chu Xiao before him, Ye Lin spoke without any hesitation, feeling there was no need to beat around the bush.
He got a headache from beating around the bush.
Then, Ye Lin's gaze fell upon the young man.
Name: Chu Yun
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase
Fate: Blue
Fate Reason: 【Dao of Blade Major Achievement】
Destiny: Stops at Foundation Establishment Peak, dies one year later, having all his vital essence sucked dry by an evil demon.
Recent Opportunity 1: Three days later, goes to Ma Valley to rescue his beloved, is unexpectedly ambushed by an evil Cultivator, falls into a deep valley, and discovers a Profound Rank High-Grade spiritual fruit, the Yuanling Fruit, within the deep valley. After consuming it, he directly steps into the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm.
Recent Opportunity 2: After the last battle, his hatred for evil Cultivators deepened further. He plans to recuperate for a while before seeking revenge, so ten days later, he goes to Ma Valley to avenge himself. Ultimately, he is ambushed again by the evil demon and falls into a deep valley. In the deepest part of the deep valley, he finds a dark green bottle. At this moment, the jade pendant he has worn around his neck for years suddenly emits a rich white light, and the dark green bottle in his hand is instantly opened. The bottle contains an extremely rich Innate Spiritual Qi, which he absorbs completely. However, due to insufficient accumulation, he suffers severe injuries from forcefully breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, leaving irreparable cracks in his Golden Core.
【Dao of Blade Major Achievement】: You have an inexplicable affinity for blades. When holding a long blade, you always feel invincible. Your comprehension speed for Martial Skill related to blades is always faster than others.
"Saint, this is my son, Chu Yun."
Chu Xiao, seeing Ye Lin's interest in his son, took the initiative to introduce him.
This Saint just came in and stared at his son, does he have some special Hobbies or something?
If he has a special Hobbies, for the future of the Saint King Sect, I can let my son make a sacrifice.
In a short moment, Chu Xiao had already thoroughly analyzed Ye Lin in his mind.
"What I just said, Senior Chu, how have you considered it?"
Ye Lin recovered and said with a smile to Chu Xiao.
"Saint, as for yielding the Burning Sky Mine, that is certainly something we must do, but our Saint King Sect lost a Disciple in the Burning Sky Mine a few days ago, and we are currently doing our utmost to find him."
"Once that Disciple is found, our Saint King Sect will definitely hand over the Burning Sky Mine."
Chu Xiao sat above, his Face full of anxiety, but looking at his facial expression, it was as realistic as could be.
"Oh? No matter, my Qingyun Sect Disciples will arrive tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will have my Qingyun Sect Disciples accompany you in your search. Many hands make light work, after all."
Ye Lin smiled, but inwardly sneered. This old fox, daring to use such an old and worn-out excuse?
"No need, this is a private matter of my Saint King Sect, so there's no need for the Qingyun Sect to interfere. How about this, give us one month, just one month? After one month, we will definitely hand over the Burning Sky Mine to the Qingyun Sect."
In response, Ye Lin smiled broadly. "Whether it's a private matter or not is none of my business. Anyway, tomorrow, my Qingyun Sect wants this Burning Sky Mine."
"As the dignified Saint of the Qingyun Sect, do you not even give this old man a little Face?" Chu Xiao was enraged, slamming his right hand heavily on the nearby table, creating a loud noise.
He was, after all, the Sect Master of the Saint King Sect, a powerful Cultivator at the Half-Step Golden Core Stage. Although the person before him was the Saint of the Qingyun Sect, he was still just a Junior.
The Qingyun Sect sending a Junior had already enraged him, and now this Junior wouldn't even give him such a small amount of Face?
"Senior Chu, we have rules in place, and I hope you won't break them. Since you are like this, then I won't even give you this much time. Now, immediately, withdraw the Saint King Sect's Disciples from the Burning Sky Mine."
Seeing this, Ye Lin's expression slightly darkened. It seemed this old fellow before him wanted to tear off all pretenses.
"I've heard that the Qingyun Sect Saint possesses Unparalleled Combat Power, and I've always been quite curious. Today, I am fortunate enough to meet the Saint; indeed, he is a man of remarkable talent. I wonder what his Combat Power is like?"
"I wonder if Chu Yun can learn from the Qingyun Sect Saint's brilliant moves today?"
At this moment, the young man beside him, Chu Yun, patted Chu Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile to Ye Lin.
"I am the Qingyun Sect Saint, and you are merely the son of an ordinary Sect Master from a subordinate Sect of the Qingyun Sect. In terms of status, I crush you by three streets. If I were to make a move against you, if it were to spread in the future, wouldn't it become an Elder disciplining a Junior?"
"At that time, even if I win, it won't be glorious for me."
"You..."
After Ye Lin spoke, Chu Yun's Face turned ashen. Ye Lin's single sentence directly flattened his status by more than one layer.
"You and I are of similar age, so even if you lose, it's understandable."
"Moreover, if you win, we can hand over the Burning Sky Mine today, and my Saint King Sect will also gift you an additional three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Conversely, if I win, how about extending the mining period of the Burning Sky Mine by one month?"
