Prince Yeze shares his plans with Sikong Zhuxing, intending to use an emerging Immortal Sect as a target to disrupt alliances and gain leverage. He gifts Sikong Zhuxing a set of Star Shining Chess, which Sikong Zhuxing later destroys. Prince Yeze then disguises himself and heads towards the Primordial Yang Domain, while Wen Ping detects an approaching expert.

"Where is he?"

Wen Ping hurriedly asked the system.

The system replied, "Outside the Purple Treasure Pavilion."

"Why didn’t you say that earlier?"

Wen Ping immediately handed the hoe to his father.

"This system only answers questions;抢答 isn’t in the job description!"

Wen Ping couldn’t be bothered to argue with the system. He left Immortal Pu Garden at once, went back to the Jin Zhi Tower, and had the nearest Black Shadow rush over immediately.

He then locked onto that Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm expert who was quietly approaching the Purple Treasure Pavilion with his Realm and Qi hidden.

As for how he found him?

It was really because King Yeze’s female companion was way too conspicuous.

She wasn’t heavily made up, yet she was still excessively gorgeous and seductively alluring, enough to be called enchantingly voluptuous. The charm and pull she radiated with every movement was ridiculously enticing, practically hooking people’s souls. Wherever she passed, she drew gasps and dazed stares from quite a few people.

But once they sensed that she was actually a Celestial Unrestricted expert, everyone hurriedly put away their flirtatious gazes and stopped probing with their Perception.

Even he had to admit this demoness was indeed very tempting.

Even that Sword Demon whose heart was set solely on becoming stronger through cultivation would probably be moved if he saw her.

"System, I want to see his information."

The next second, a popup window instantly appeared before his eyes.

[Yu Ji]

[Age: 389 (just reached adulthood)]

[Marital status: Married]

[Realm: Demon Ancestor (Lower Realm Demon Ancestor)]

...

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"I said him, not her!"

"She’s just a Lower Realm Demon Ancestor—what use is looking at her info to me?"

The system hurriedly closed Yu Ji’s profile and switched to another person. "My apologies, I assumed the host’s thinking was like most men’s."

[King Yeze]

[Age: 572]

[Realm: Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm]

[Race: You Country Royal Family]

...

"So it’s him." Wen Ping ignored the system and instead recalled King Yeze, whom Sikong Zhuxing had mentioned before.

Why did he come to Divine Flight City?

And head straight for the Purple Treasure Pavilion—he’s here for the Vortex Map?

Wen Ping didn’t have any bad impression of King Yeze.

Of course.

He didn’t have any good feelings either.

But as long as the other party wasn’t here with hostile intent, Wen Ping couldn’t be bothered to care. After all, the Purple Treasure Pavilion was in the business of keeping its doors open for everyone.

After continuing to observe for a while, Wen Ping noticed that King Yeze was actually just strolling idly around the Purple Treasure Pavilion, buying nothing and selling nothing.

"So, what exactly are you trying to do?" With a King-Sealing Expert wandering around inside the Purple Treasure Pavilion, Wen Ping definitely couldn’t calm down to cultivate, so he simply used the Teleportation Array and went over to the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Celestial String, who was in quiet cultivation, heard the sound of the Teleportation Array and quickly got up, left the Cultivation Room, and found Wen Ping as he was heading downstairs.

"Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

"We’ve got a guest." Wen Ping tossed out the answer, then continued going downstairs. Before Celestial String could react, he almost ran into H Lan hurrying up the stairs.

H Lan looked up, saw Wen Ping, and was startled. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Sect Leader! Elder Celestial String!"

"What are you rushing around for?" Wen Ping asked.

H Lan replied, "I was just about to invite Elder Celestial String over. A few people came to the first floor—they’re not buying or selling anything, just endlessly asking this and that, and being really picky about everything. The people from Jin Zhi Tower told me one of them is a Celestial Unrestricted expert, so I wanted Elder Celestial String to go down and take a look."

"You go handle your own business." Wen Ping waved his hand, then continued going down. Just as he was about to reach the first floor, a voice rang out.

The one speaking was that Yu Ji.

"Is this all the Purple Treasure Pavilion has?"

Her clear voice was filled with provocation.

King Yeze beside her remained silent, saying nothing. When Wen Ping came downstairs, King Yeze’s gaze immediately fell on Wen Ping.

Wen Ping himself wasn’t eye-catching; it was mainly the person behind him, Celestial String, who stood out.

Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm!

Even a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert could only walk behind Wen Ping, which indirectly made Wen Ping stand out even more.

"You must be the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, yes?" Prince Yezé had already learned Wen Ping’s appearance and age from the spies he’d planted under Prince Longyang.

As soon as Prince Yezé spoke, Yu Ji fell silent.

Wen Ping answered, "You need something?"

"The Immortal Sect really lives up to its reputation for creating the Vortex Map. I’ve been here not even half an hour, and you’ve already arrived."

The words "this prince" left his mouth.

Who inside or outside the Purple Treasure Pavilion could still fail to understand that the man before them was a King-Sealing Expert?

The people who’d been planning to enter the Purple Treasure Pavilion hurriedly backed out at once. And those who were already inside also retreated to the rear.

In You Country, any one King-Sealing Expert was a lofty existence that could only be looked up to, never reached.

He was merely at Mountain Suppression, Earth Unrestricted, so it was better to keep a very respectful distance.

At the same time, Wen Ping didn’t respond to Prince Yezé’s words, just silently walked over and sat down across from him.

Prince Yezé didn’t bother with more useless chit-chat, and instead got straight to the point: "Sect Leader Wen, why not come under my banner? Five years from now, the Primordial Yang Domain will be yours. And as long as Sect Leader Wen agrees, from this moment on, Zeming Palace will take its lead from your Sect."

Wen Ping neither nodded nor shook his head to refuse, he only countered with a question: "The one behind Zeming Palace—is that you?"

"Correct. The one behind Zeming Palace is this prince. So no matter what conflict you and Zeming Palace have had, as long as I speak, everything can be turned from major to minor, then from minor to nothing. And starting today, Zeming Palace will be a vassal of the Immortal Sect! Everything within Zeming Palace will be at the Immortal Sect’s disposal."

At these words, everyone inside and outside the Purple Treasure Pavilion went pale.

Previously they’d thought the Purple Treasure Pavilion would clash with Zeming Palace again, maybe even fight to the death.

Yet unexpectedly, before they saw a fight to the death, instead they were faced with the fact that Zeming Palace might become a vassal of the Immortal Sect at any moment.

Everyone had the same thought rise in their hearts right then.

Who is this man?

To rope in the Immortal Sect, he’s directly giving away the vast Zeming Palace.

Though Zeming Palace couldn’t compare to the Thousand Crafts Sect, it was still a top-tier Six-star Influence.

This meeting gift was a bit too extravagant.

However, what no one had expected was that Wen Ping shook his head and calmly said, "Thing is, I’m not interested in Zeming Palace."

"But Zeming Palace’s foundation could help the Immortal Sect become a top-tier Six-star Influence in a short time. After all, Zeming Palace has several hundred years of heritage."

Fine then.

What Prince Yezé said was indeed the truth. If not for the fact he didn’t like being controlled by others, he really might have agreed.

A top-tier Six-star Influence delivered to your door—who could claim they wouldn’t be tempted?

Unfortunately.

The biggest problem was that if he accepted it, he’d end up under someone’s thumb.

And even if Zeming Palace was "given" to him, that didn’t mean it would truly be his.

"Not interested." Wen Ping immediately shook his head and refused.

Prince Yezé didn’t get angry; his expression stayed gentle. He slowly rose and said, "Sect Leader Wen, you don’t actually need to rush your decision. I’m confident no one will be able to offer a higher price than this. Including Prince Longyang—he won’t be able to offer anything this generous."

With that said, Prince Yezé simply rose and took his leave from Wen Ping, without any extra nonsense.

Came in a hurry.

Left in a hurry.

As if his purpose in coming here wasn’t to win over the Immortal Sect at all.

Just as Wen Ping was about to pat the Black Shadow to have it follow and see what was going on, the Sound Transmission Stone in his arms flared to life.

After Wen Ping raised a sound insulation barrier and connected, Sikong Zhuxing’s voice came through.

"Sect Leader, Prince Yezé has taken the initiative to spread news of the Immortal Sect to the other five King-Sealing Experts. Now everyone knows that there’s an Immortal Sect in the Primordial Yang Domain—creator of the Vortex Map and the Purple Treasure Pavilion—and that if they can obtain you, their odds in the competition for the Sovereign’s throne will definitely rise. I’d guess it’ll only be a few days before all those royal Sealing Kings rush to the Primordial Yang Domain!"

"Prince Yezé has already been here."

"What? That fast!"

"He left after saying barely a few sentences."

"Sect Leader, I’ve just carefully analyzed his move. Prince Yezé wasn’t just trying to sabotage relations between the Immortal Sect and Prince Longyang; he also took the opportunity to push the Immortal Sect right to the edge of the cliff. In the end, no matter who you agree to, or who you refuse, you’ll end up facing the same situation Qi Tianze did. Those six royal Sealing Kings will definitely think of every possible way to destroy the Immortal Sect—just like how they killed Qi Tianze."

"Looks like his real purpose this trip wasn’t recruiting me at all. No wonder he left so quickly." When Wen Ping compared Prince Yezé’s attitude to Prince Longyang’s, the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Sect Leader Wen, you’ll probably have to be extremely cautious from here on."

"Mm."

Wen Ping gave a brief reply.

But he didn’t pay too much mind to it.

Face the same situation as Qi Tianze?

The Immortal Sect is no Qi Tianze.

After putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, Wen Ping murmured coldly, "Prince Yezé, oh Prince Yezé... I don’t know why you’re doing this, but not killing you is no longer an option."
