The Immortal Sect recruited 80 prodigies ahead of schedule through the Master's Dao Maze, including 23 Mountain Suppression Realm experts, then halted enrollment and assigned them cultivation paths under the elders. Prodigy Zhuge Tianming, displaying exceptional Sword Control Skill talent, entered a trial ground in Fa Yuan Valley, followed unwittingly by Senior Brother Luo Mi. Sect Leader Wen Ping advised recovering Yun Liao on mastering magic and seeking revenge before the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, while awakened captive Ye Wuping threatened destruction upon the sect but refused to explain the Red Leaf Sect's grudge against Star Sword Mountain establishments.

"Refuse to speak, and I’ll have you sent to Sword Demon’s room to accompany him."

Wen Ping stated this with utmost seriousness.

Ye Wuping’s eyebrow twitched at once upon hearing those words, and she spat out in rage, "Shameless!"

"Since you tried to take my life, whatever I do to you can’t be called too much." Wen Ping added icily, "This is the Sect Leader’s final chance. Stay silent, and you’ll get knocked unconscious before being shipped off!"

"You..."

Fury nearly burst from Ye Wuping’s eyes as she instinctively tried to unseal her Meridian Gate for a counterstrike, only to stiffen motionless.

Her Meridian Gate stood sealed!

She had become no more than a crippled figure bearing a shattered frame!

While Ye Wuping remained dazed, Wen Ping spun around right away and ordered the disciple at the door, "Knock her out and deliver her to Sword Demon Elder’s dwelling—"

Before Wen Ping finished his command, Ye Wuping ground her teeth and shouted at him, "Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? Fine, I’ll speak!"

"Why not do this from the start?"

Wen Ping pivoted back, silently observing Ye Wuping as he awaited her words.

To preserve her pride, Ye Wuping forced herself to reveal, "The ground beneath your feet holds the graves of my entire clan, so nobody can profane it!"

"That’s it?"

"Isn’t that sufficient?"

Wen Ping remained unmoved by Ye Wuping’s explanation, knowing full well that everyone carries their own justifications and struggles regardless of their actions. For him, peace reigns if no one crosses him; crossing him changes everything.

No excuse, no matter how noble or justified, holds any weight.

Gathering his mind, Wen Ping declared coldly, "Starting today, the Immortal Sect will be your home, though survival demands payment. With recent departures creating a labor gap in tree planting, you’ll take up that role."

"Humiliating me this way—do you even count as a man? Kill me if you dare!" Ye Wuping shot Wen Ping a venomous glare.

Plant trees?

Could she really degrade herself that far just to live?

In the Red Leaf Sect, only the basest servants handle such chores.

Hearing Ye Wuping’s outburst, Wen Ping skipped further talk and whirled about, "Knock her out, strip her clothes off, and toss her into Sword Demon Elder’s chamber—"

"You!"

From behind, Ye Wuping’s teeth-grinding furious cry echoed.

A smug grin flashed on Wen Ping’s face, though it vanished into icy calm as he turned, "Changed your tune? Then come along."

Yet Ye Wuping refused to yield fully—her body might bend, but not her tongue or spirit, "When I regain my freedom, I, Ye Wuping, shall torment you and Sword Demon a thousandfold, leaving your remains to rot in the wilds for ages!"

"Woman, one more word and my tolerance ends. It won’t stop at Sword Demon’s room then. Trust me, the Sect Leader can have you stripped and marched through the streets," Wen Ping warned solemnly, his voice carrying the weight of imminent action.

Ye Wuping clenched her jaw, spitting a lone "you" before going quiet and trailing Wen Ping to Yunlan Mountain.

Meanwhile, in the Undying Forest, numerous Red Leaf Sect prodigies rested as they chatted about schemes to flee the Immortal Sect.

Reluctance still burned in them.

Back in the Red Leaf Sect, they’d been idols worshipped by crowds.

Yet one day here in the Immortal Sect dragged like a decade there!

"The Sect Leader must be heading back from Supreme City by now!" cried a Red Leaf Sect prodigy struck by sudden insight.

At the mention of the Sect Leader, comfort washed over the group.

As an Upper Realm powerhouse in the Red Domain, who there could match her?

Her return would surely bring their salvation—they were the elite picks for the Red Leaf Sect’s top honor, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.

Lacking them, the Red Leaf Sect would forfeit its spot in this era’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. Lesser Five-star Influences might shrug off the shame, but not a hegemon like the Red Leaf Sect. Rescue was inevitable!

"The Sect Leader will definitely rescue us!"

"She’s probably en route already!"

Buoyed by this, they hacked at trees with fresh energy.

As axes swung, sparks of hope for breakout and glory lit their gazes.

Abruptly, footsteps drew near.

They clamped their mouths shut immediately, sharing furtive glances before scattering in haste. Some began digging holes while others set saplings into the earth, acting as if the earlier incident never took place. Nevertheless, their eyes kept stealing peeks at the origin of that noise.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect was striding toward them!

Shocked into action, they bowed their heads low in a rush, too terrified to gaze upon the newcomer, channeling all their might into their labors.

"From now on, you’ll be with them. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask them. Oh, you’re welcome to escape at any time, but the consequences are your own." After saying this, Wen Ping abandoned Ye Wuping amid the woods and departed the Undying Forest.

At that instant, fury blazed within Ye Wuping, fearing Wen Ping would truly humiliate her, forcing her to swallow her wrath. The moment Wen Ping vanished, Ye Wuping unleashed her anger on the nearby tree.

A punch!

A kick!

"Ah—hiss—"

Ye Wuping collapsed heavily onto the ground, clutching her right fist to her belly, teeth clenched against the agony.

Witnessing the scene, the Red Leaf Sect prodigies exploded into mocking laughter.

"Look, we’ve got a fool."

"Even a sapling in the Immortal Sect is tougher than an Earth Unrestricted Expert’s Spirit Body. She’s half-dead and still attacks the tree directly."

"What a fool!"

They traded looks and their chuckles grew even heartier.

One Red Leaf Sect prodigy strode forward right away, flinging the tools abandoned by the fleeing Earth Unrestricted Experts down at Ye Wuping’s feet.

"Foul woman, hurry up and work. If your laziness drags us down, we’ll make sure you suffer tonight!"

With those words done, he swung a kick toward Ye Wuping to force her to rise.

Laziness could truly drag him down too.

Last time, one person had nodded off, bringing misery to the entire group!

Those memories lingered vividly!

Yet just as his foot extended, Ye Wuping shot up and seized it. Her grip tightened fiercely, drawing a pained yelp from the Red Leaf Sect prodigy. Though hailing from an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm faction and weakened as he was, such torment proved unbearable for a mere Mountain Suppression Realm cultivator.

"Watch your mouth!"

Ye Wuping sprang to her feet, her glare fierce like a lion in fury directed at the Red Leaf Sect prodigy.

This stunning display rendered many Red Leaf Sect prodigies utterly dumbfounded.

"Sect... Leader..."

"Could it be?"

Disbelief swirled in their thoughts, yet the figure standing there matched the Sect Leader perfectly in appearance and even carried a comparable aura.

Though the Sect Leader’s aura held far greater power.

Upon hearing herself named Sect Leader, Ye Wuping froze briefly, swept her eyes over the crowd, and gradually loosened her hold on the prodigy’s leg.

Her eyes settled on someone in the rear, prompting her to cry out, "Little Feng Jun!"

"Master!" A youth with bright eyes welled up with tears instantly, gazing at Ye Wuping in shock, "Master, is it really you?"
