Huang Gaoshan regretted it. Had he known it would come to this, he should have killed Huang Dahai straight away.
Just for one cultivator, his whole sect was destroyed.
The strength of the power that easily wiped out the Four Seas Immortal Gate was enormous, far beyond what he, Huang Gaoshan, could provoke.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as regretting after the fact.
With the fall of Huang Gaoshan, the Four Seas Immortal Gate completely vanished into history.
Ye Jinhai surveyed the ruins of the Four Seas Immortal Gate and made a plan. The Longevity Sect needed to be rebuilt, and this place was just right.
When Ye Fan acted, he didn’t cause too much destruction.
The Spirit Vein was left untouched as well.
A top-quality Spirit Vein would be sufficient for the Longevity Sect at present.
Though the Longevity World is the most suitable place to rebuild the Longevity Sect, Ye Jinhai didn’t dare to expose its existence yet.
Though he inherited the Longevity World, most of it remained sealed.
As Ye Jinhai’s cultivation level would gradually rise, the seals within the Longevity World would gradually open.
When the seals were completely opened, Ye Jinhai’s power would suffice to protect the Longevity World.
But that would be a matter for the future. For now, this place was suitable to rebuild the Longevity Sect.
Quickly, Ye Jinhai and Bai Xue began to build the sectors of the Longevity Sect and started recruiting disciples.
It was impossible for the Longevity Sect to solely rely on Ye Jinhai and Bai Xue —disciples were necessary.
As for when the disciples from the Lower Realm would advance, it was uncertain.
To recruit new disciples now would be just right.
The news of the Four Seas Immortal Gate being wiped out quickly spread.
Being the initiator, the reputation of the Longevity Sect began to spread.
The strength of the Four Seas Immortal Gate was not weak among nearby forces.
The Longevity Sect, capable of exterminating the Four Seas Immortal Gate, was naturally acknowledged.
Soon, cultivators who admired its reputation came to join the Longevity Sect.
The Longevity Sect began to slowly develop.
The Ye family’s second subordinate power finally began to emerge in the Changming World.
In the future, it will become a major player!
However, Ye Jinhai didn’t plan to link himself to the Ye Family for the time being and intended to develop independently.
The Thousands of Leaves Academy and the Longevity Sect were both independent powers.
Unless necessary, they would not establish too tight connections with the Ye family.
Multifaceted growth is the best development method for a family.
On the other side, the Black Dragon Empire.
The competition among the ten nations was nearing its end.
With his cultivation level in the Human Immortal Realm, Ye XiaoFan forcefully seized a large number of resources for the Black Dragon Empire.
Those in the Black Dragon Empire who had been discontent with the treatment of Ye XiaoFan had now completely vanished.
Holding onto Ye XiaoFan was a stroke of luck for the Black Dragon Empire.
Being the first in the competition among the ten nations was something the Black Dragon Empire hadn’t achieved in a long while.
The resources for being at first nearly doubled the previous amount.
The benefits for the future development of the Black Dragon Empire were plentiful.
As citizens of the Black Dragon Empire, they were also beneficiaries.
The emperor of the Black Dragon Empire eyed Ye XiaoFan’s retreating figure and began to contemplate.
If the future of the Black Dragon Empire was handed over to Princess Jun Long, it seemed to be a good choice.
With Ye XiaoFan’s protection, Princess Jun Long might have the opportunity to
lead the Black Dragon Empire to greater heights.
If it were anyone else, the king might not have entertained this idea.
But Ye XiaoFan’s mysterious identity gave him this confidence.
After all, Ye XiaoFan was a disciple of that existence.
Even if he was only a nominal disciple, he was not someone the Black Dragon Empire could associate itself with.
Now that they had finally established a relationship, the king did not want to miss this opportunity.
“Your Majesty, the envoy from the Chuan Tian Empire is here.”
The Chuan Tian Empire was also one of the top ten empires.
However, their relationship with the Black Dragon Empire wasn’t good.
What could be the purpose of their envoy’s visit?
Since it was an envoy, the king, for the Black Dragon Empire’s dignity, could not refuse to meet.
“Greetings to the king of the Black Dragon Empire. This envoy has come to propose a marriage for the crown prince of our Chuan Tian Empire. We hope that our two nations can form an alliance through marriage.”
An alliance through marriage!
There was no issue with what the envoy said.
An alliance through marriage was quite normal among the empires.
“Very well, our eighteenth princess has also reached the age suitable for marriage. Let her be the one.”
The king of the Black Dragon had many children and it was not difficult to find one suitable for a marriage alliance.
However, at this moment, the envoy directly refused.
“Our crown prince has always admired your Princess Jun Long and hopes to form a marriage alliance with her.”
Once this statement was made, the entire hall instantly fell quiet.
Everyone surreptitiously glanced at Ye XiaoFan.
The Chuan Tian Empire couldn’t possibly be unaware that Princess Jun Long already had a husband. But they still asked for a marriage alliance, which could mean they had ulterior motives.
Gauging from his talent demonstrated in this current competition among the ten nations, being targeted was expected.
The face of the king of the Black Dragon Empire darkened instantly.
The Chuan Tian Empire was courting death.
They probably thought Ye XiaoFan’s identity was merely that of an ordinary talented cultivator, which was why they dared to make such a proposal.
After all, traditionally, a royal son-in-law was clearly not equal to the crown prince of an empire.
The envoy looked confident, believing the king of the Black Dragon Empire would undoubtedly agree.
Ye XiaoFan’s talent was so extraordinary, he would certainly become a significant support to the Black Dragon Empire in the future.
What they needed to do now was to sow discord between Ye XiaoFan and the Black Dragon Empire.
If the Black Dragon Empire refused the crown prince’s proposal of marriage, the Chuan Tian Empire would have a reason to start a war.
The Black Dragon Empire had gained so many benefits this time, and the Chuan Tian Empire was discontent if they didn’t spit some out.
If the Black Dragon Empire agreed, that would be even better.
Not only would this offend a talented cultivator, but they could also slowly encroach upon the Black Dragon Empire through Princess Jun Long, the favorite princess of the king of the Black Dragon Empire.
No matter what choice was made, the Chuan Tian Empire wouldn’t lose out.
The envoy of the Chuan Tian Empire intently watched the king of the Black
Dragon Empire, waiting for his reply. The crown prince of their empire, Chuan Liu, had personally come to the Black Dragon Empire to expedite this plan.
The king of the Black Dragon Empire glanced at Ye XiaoFan and became resolute instantly.
The consequences of offending Ye XiaoFan, according to him, were much worse than offending the Chuan Tian Empire.
“Princess Jun Long is already betrothed. Please, find another suitable princess in the Chuan Tian Empire for further discussion.”
The king of the Black Dragon Empire rejected the proposal without any hesitation, leaving the envoy of the Chuan Tian Empire a little surprised.
Seems like the status of this royal son-in-law in the king of the Black Dragon Empire’s heart was higher than they had imagined.
Well then, they absolutely couldn’t let it go.
“King of the Black Dragon Empire, we, the Chuan Tian Empire, come with sincerity. We hope that you can reconsider. After all, this matter has already spread everywhere in our Chuan Tian Empire. If our crown prince fails to marry Princess Jun Long, it would not look good to both nations.” Upon hearing this, even the ministers began to get angry.
The Chuan Tian Empire was openly threatening them..
