Wu Ding was angry, but there was nothing she could do. She only had a somewhat distant senior-junior relationship with Ye Fan, so even if Ye Fan had many women outside, it didn't concern her in the slightest.

Ye Fan went inside to see Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, then returned to his room, inviting Sang Yuan in as well. Once Ye Fan closed the door, Wu Ding stomped her foot in anger: "This is absurd. If he wants to fool around, he should go out. Why bring a woman back here? It's infuriating."

The Xuannu just smiled at her daughter, ignoring Wu Ding's words. Lan Jing felt a little embarrassed being watched and didn't quite understand why the seemingly amiable beautiful lady paid such close attention to her.

Inside the room, Ye Fan sat on the sofa while Sang Yuan appeared somewhat uneasy. Since she had acknowledged Ye Fan as her master and willingly became Ye Fan's servant, it was only reasonable for Ye Fan to require anything, including personal service, from her, which she couldn't refuse. But she wasn't ready to accept Ye Fan yet.

Ye Fan said: "I have some questions for you, sit down and answer."

"Servant is merely a vassal to master, servant dares not sit alongside the master." Sang Yuan said humbly, with great respect.

"If you prefer to speak while standing, let me ask directly." Ye Fan said, "I'm very unclear about the matters within the secret realm. I want to ask you clearly, such as... the chosen ones, or the grudges among the seven sects, and... What are the deployed personnel doing right now?"

Sang Yuan did not avoid, speaking frankly: "Master, the grudges among the seven sects revolve around who shall dominate the Pan Gu secret realm, and those qualified to dominate are none other than the Di Yuan Sect, Tianxuan Sect, and Imperial Sect. The cooperation between Tianxuan and Di Yuan is due to Imperial Sect mastering a kind of energy feared by all sects and cultivators, even forcing Di Yuan Sect to work with Tianxuan Sect..."

Ye Fan said: "What kind of energy?"

Sang Yuan shook her head saying: "Servant sent many people to investigate, but still no results. However, master, servant has a magic artifact that seems to record this thing, allowing you to have a glimpse."

After speaking, she took out something resembling a copper basin from the storage ring and placed it on the ground. Ye Fan didn't know what the copper basin was about, Sang Yuan fetched some water from the bathroom and poured it into the basin, revealing a very blurry image, showing black shadows turning a grand hall entirely black, the hall being the one he visited in Imperial Sect, the main hall, within which was a blurry figure. Ye Fan saw it clearly, surprisingly being Fa Ying whom he almost killed before they were rescued.

"She's not dead yet?" Ye Fan frowned unintentionally.

Previously, when the black shadow attacked him, he suspected it related to Fa Ying, now it appeared Fa Ying had already brought this shadow back to the Pan Gu secret realm. How powerful was the strength of a demonic cultivator, even Ye Fan felt uncertain. Last time he didn't defeat the shadow, only the copper mirror inside him deflected the shadow's attack, leading it to think he was also a demonic cultivator, sparing him.

Sang Yuan said: "The secret realm places shackles on cultivators above ascension, but demonic cultivators have no prohibition, the power of this energy might surpass that of an immortal. With this energy, Imperial Sect commanding the seven sects is not difficult."

"So it was Fa Ying bringing this demonic cultivator back to the secret realm, assisting Huang Ze in realizing the ambition of unifying the secret realm's sects." Ye Fan felt worried, now it's evident why Tianxuan Sect and Di Yuan Sect, originally bitter rivals, had to unite against Imperial Sect and the other five sects.

"What about the chosen ones?" Ye Fan asked again.

Sang Yuan affirmed: "The chosen one is either Master or Yun Zhao... or Mistress, one of the two."

"How can you be so sure?" Ye Fan frowned again, surprised this notion coincided with Wu Ding's speculation.

Sang Yuan said: "According to ancient legends, the chosen one, even mighty powers cannot decide, but can be defined as cultivators of utmost Yin and Yang, which was the foundation upon which the Li Fire Sect was established. Li Fire Sect is the guardian through generations of Heavenly Peak Mountain, and Heavenly Peak Mountain is the lifeline of the Pan Gu secret realm. Master's entry into Li Fire Sect indicates a duty to uphold guardianship. Even if the Master isn't the chosen one, you are the Guardian of the secret realm."

Ye Fan shook his head saying: "But I am just a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage."

Sang Yuan said: "Servant is willing to use my cultivation to help Master, allowing Master and Mistress to ascend a stage quickly. At that time, Master will be able to return to the Pan Gu secret realm to reclaim what rightfully belongs to you."

"Even if ascending one stage, I'll only reach the Body Integration Realm. The sect leaders of the seven sects are close to the Mahayana Realm, and the leader of Di Yuan Sect, Ling, is at Transcendance Tribulation Stage. How can I compete with them?" Ye Fan sighed.

"Master should not forget, you possess the utmost Yang cultivation, while Mistress is of utmost Yin and cold cultivation, combined, the resultant power is formidable, moreover, presently the seven sects urgently need someone to come forth to steer the big picture... If Master can prove publicly to be the chosen one, then the seven sects will abide by your commands!" Sang Yuan said.

Ye Fan murmured: "The seven sects will follow my command?"

"Indeed, Master and Mistress are the chosen ones, it should be so." Sang Yuan spoke resolutely.

Ye Fan imagined the scene, the members of the seven sects bowing in reverence to him, as he could be the last beacon of hope to save the future... But this sounded too unrealistic.

"Understood." Ye Fan waved his hand saying: "So what arrangements do you have within the secret realm?"

Sang Yuan said: "Servant possesses the most powerful intelligence network within the secret realm, capable of uncovering any news master wishes to know. The mysterious faction that the seven sects have always worried about, is actually... under servant's command, now they also wholly submit to master's orders."

Ye Fan squinted his eyes at Sang Yuan, considering her cultivation, already in the later stages of Transcendance Tribulation, perhaps even possessing an immortal level, the specifics unclear, but the personnel under Sang Yuan should include many at the Body Integration Realm and Mahayana Realm; Sang Yuan's power is no less than any sect's force in the Pan Gu secret realm, even the largest sect, Di Yuan Sect, must give way.

The previous unification attempt of the six sects aimed not only at finding the chosen one to save the secret realm but also confronting Di Yuan Sect, and more crucially, resisting the rise of the mysterious force.

And the leader of this mysterious force turned out to be Sang Yuan. Ye Fan thought, doesn't it mean he already possesses the power to unite the Pan Gu secret realm?

The power is there, but as the master, he hasn't progressed beyond his servant Sang Yuan's cultivation. What good is being the overlord if he could be ousted at any moment?

The urgent matter is to hurry and cultivate to progress.

"You said you could help me... cultivate alongside Zhao Jun?" Ye Fan asked.

"Yes." Sang Yuan nodded.

Ye Fan stood up from the sofa, walked to Sang Yuan, reached out his hand, and gently touched her face, without catching any sign of avoidance or disgust from her, though she seemed slightly shy and uneasy. Ye Fan said: "I will have someone prepare a closed practice room, we will enter to cultivate together."
