Chapter 789: 786 Chapters Return

"They are looking for a suitable burial spot for Elder Ning," Ye Xuan said with a slight shake of his head.

"Can’t he be buried at Zhongxuan Mountain?" Lv Tiangang asked.

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan stroked his chin and said softly, "If it were just ordinary burial, of course it would be possible, but the Coffin Carriers are different. They have their own way of doing things, adhering to ’land as the tomb,’ following the wishes of the deceased."

"Alright..."

Hearing this, although they didn’t quite understand, the crowd trusted Ye Xuan.

The words of Ye Xuan were certainly not false; the custom followed by the Coffin Carriers is indeed ’land as the tomb.’

Carrying the coffin and waiting for it to settle on the ground by itself.

Thus, this would bless the deceased in the next life and benefit future generations.

This was also the impressive aspect of the Coffin Carriers.

Of course, employing the Coffin Carriers required compensation.

Any form of compensation would suffice.

Even if it was just inviting them for a banquet, it would be acceptable.

But it certainly could not be less.

This time, the compensation offered by Ye Xuan was not this, but a decrepit coffin...

To the Coffin Carriers, their cultivation methods were unknown to the world.

But Ye Xuan knew well that they needed to carry coffins to gain power.

The coffins with more deceased provided them greater power when lifted.

The decrepit coffin represented a coffin with many deceased.

Those who understood the Coffin Carriers usually feared the decrepit coffin.

Once this coffin appeared somewhere, it meant that slaughter was inevitable.

This time, solely the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect had lost tens of millions of lives.

Among them, there were ancient beings who had surpassed the Saint Realm.

For the lineage of Coffin Carriers, this was considered a grand offering.

This was why, when He Ziming went to deliver the message initially, upon hearing the three words ’decrepit coffin,’ it wasn’t long before shadows bowing to flame appeared.

If someone were to look down from the sky dome above Zhongxuan Mountain at this moment, they would notice the deceased from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect were continuously disappearing.

As if vanishing into thin air, even the traces of their blood were gone without a trace.

Even their souls were rapidly dissipating...

"Once the decrepit coffin has been cleared, then let’s start taking over Zhongxuan Mountain," Ye Xuan told Zhou Zihuang.

"Yes!" Excitement sparkled in Zhou Zihuang’s eyes.

Ye Xuan waved at the Demon Emperor Wu Ai in the sky dome.

Boom!

Demon Emperor Wu Ai descended with Xiong Tun and others, their imposing aura bearing down, causing Zhou Zihuang, Lv Tiangang, Li Kuangtu, and others’ expressions to turn serious.

"Young Master," the Demon Emperor Wu Ai and others greeted Ye Xuan.

"Let me introduce you, this is my father-in-law, Zhou Zihuang, the Sect Master of Emperor Immortal Sect of Zhongxuan Mountain," Ye Xuan said slowly, "Father-in-law, she is the Overlord of the Six Demon Sect from the northern side of Zhongxuan Mountain. Once the Emperor Immortal Sect takes over Zhongxuan Mountain, they will temporarily manage the cultivation resources of the northern side."

"Senior," Zhou Zihuang greeted Demon Emperor Wu Ai with a fist salute.

"I dare not accept that honor; in the future, the Six Demon Sect will be the most loyal ally of Emperor Immortal Sect," Demon Emperor Wu Ai responded upon hearing Zhou Zihuang was Ye Xuan’s father-in-law, and didn’t take her presence lightly. In front of everyone, she even manifested her own form, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present with her stunning demeanor.

Xiong Tun and other Elders of the Six Demon Sect were all agape, disbelievingly looking at their Demon Emperor.

Although they sometimes joked in private that the Demon Emperor might be a woman,

who would have thought that she actually was a woman?!

What’s going on here?

At this moment, Qiao Xinyu, Huang Yue, Yun Rongguang, and Ao Rulong too landed on the ground, and upon seeing the human form of Demon Emperor Wu Ai, they too were taken aback.

"Senior... truly is a beauty that could topple cities and nations, unmatched in elegance," Zhou Zihuang said after a pause, bowing politely.

Demon Emperor Wu Ai smiled slightly, truly a smile that could captivate an entire city, and she calmly said, "Sect Master Zhou flatters me too much."

"Cough cough cough————" Xiong Tun in the back couldn’t help a fierce bout of coughing.

However, when he met Wu Ai’s indifferent gaze, he immediately stopped coughing and seriously said, "Our Demon Emperor is indeed stunningly beautiful, I, a mere brute, have been also captivated."

The other Elders, however, lowered their heads, their old faces so red they seemed to burst; some took deep breaths to suppress their internal laughter.

"You may all return first, the details will be discussed later when your father-in-law sends someone to negotiate," Ye Xuan waved his hand and said.

"Then we shall take our leave first," Demon Emperor Wu Ai, naturally obedient to Ye Xuan, greeted Zhou Zihuang and then respectfully said to Ye Xuan, "My lord, I take my leave."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Senior, take care," Zhou Zihuang looked at Ye Xuan with surprise, but still bade farewell to Wu Ai.

Demon Emperor Wu Ai leaped up and vanished from everyone’s sight.

Xiong Tun and the others hurriedly followed, their faces bitter as they left, presumably knowing they were in for a rough time.

After the people from the Six Demon Sect had left, Zhou Zihuang asked in confusion, "Will the Six Demon Sect be Emperor Immortal Sect’s support from now on?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, realizing Zhou Zihuang had misunderstood his intentions, and slowly explained, "Although Emperor Immortal Sect has taken over Zhongxuan Mountain, its overall strength is too weak, and in the vast East Desolate, it is at best a third-rate power, incapable of managing so many cultivation resources."

"In addition to the cultivation resources in the north, the Mo family will manage those in the west."

"The cultivation resources in the east will be managed by the help of the Eternal Mountain Ye Family."

"Emperor Immortal Sect itself will only need the cultivation resources in the south."

"Furthermore, the resources from Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven have already been collected by the Ye Family, and will be transferred to Zhongxuan Mountain in a few days."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan raised his right hand and showed three fingers, continuing, "Emperor Immortal Sect needs three hundred years of development to return to the ranks of top powers."

"By that time, we will reclaim the resources from the Six Demon Sect, Ye Family, and Mo family."

Zhou Zihuang and others looked at each other, reluctant to admit it but knowing it was indeed the current state of Emperor Immortal Sect.

"What about recruiting disciples?" Zhou Zihuang turned to Ye Xuan.

"For the next ten years, do not recruit any disciples except those of truly exceptional talent, and of course, those of questionable character are not wanted either; first transfer half of the disciples from the Southern Domain," Ye Xuan said.

The group of disciples from the Southern Domain, they are the foundation of Emperor Immortal Sect.

They might not be very powerful, but they possess the Sect Soul, which the new disciples do not have.

If we were to immediately recruit new disciples after taking over Zhongxuan Mountain, it would be difficult for Emperor Immortal Sect to unite the disciples’ hearts.

The Sacred Land of the Sect places the greatest emphasis on heritage, the replacement of the old by the new.

This is the norm, and an unchanging truth through the ages.

In this regard, Ye Xuan knew far more than Zhou Zihuang.

"Good!" Zhou Zihuang, having great faith in Ye Xuan, said nothing more and agreed with one word.

"Ninety thousand years, a full ninety thousand years, our sect has finally come back!"

Lv Tiangang and others faced Zhongxuan Mountain, tears streaming down their faces.

Li Kuangtu also rarely showed a hint of distraction, but he was still somewhat displeased.

For not being able to slaughter the people from Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect!
