After everyone finished catching up, Ye Tianfan suddenly remembered the Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake he brought out from Polo Cave, so he informed Tian Chu Zhenren about this snake and also about the presence of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake.

Tian Chu Zhenren, upon hearing it was about the Nine-Headed Demon Snake, immediately grabbed Ye Tianfan and, without greeting others, flew towards the Tai Chu Peak. This was a matter that only the Sect Leader could decide on.

While in the air, Ye Tianfan summoned his own flying sword and followed Tian Chu Zhenren. After all, riding the same flying sword with Tian Chu Zhenren was a bit cramped.

Tian Chu Zhenren alone occupied more than two-thirds of the flying sword, having a large belly. When Ye Tianfan shared the same flying sword, he always felt like half of one foot was hanging in mid-air.

That's why Ye Tianfan summoned his own flying sword.

Ye Tianfan was getting farther from the fiery red Taihuo Peak and was about to enter the sea of clouds. Unlike last time, he was experienced now, extending his divine sense early to scout the way.

The sea of clouds spread vast and boundless. After about ten minutes of flying, Ye Tianfan's divine sense detected the outline of Tai Chu Peak. He controlled the Fire Lotus Sword, followed behind Tian Chu Zhenren, broke through the sea of clouds with a sharp whistling sound.

The endless blue sky appeared, like an inverted deep sea, almost perfectly pure, infinite, grand and majestic. As Ye Tianfan emerged from the sea of clouds, the white clouds beneath his feet resembled water splashes, surging into long cloud streams with their momentum. They seemed reluctant to part, like gentle waves in a large river, rising into the air and then slowly falling back, returning to the sea of clouds.

In the distance, a towering and majestic peak stood proudly. There, amidst the drifting white clouds, a faint bell sound reverberated through the dome of heaven and earth. They had arrived at Tai Chu Peak.

Ye Tianfan noticed that this time, the majestic peak wasn't surrounded by numerous rays of light of various colors swirling around.

Accompanied by the whistling sound, Ye Tianfan followed Tian Chu Zhenren and landed with sword control on a vast square. As soon as they landed, Tian Chu Zhenren immediately grabbed Ye Tianfan and headed towards Tai Chu Hall.

When Ye Tianfan arrived at Tai Chu Hall, only Tian Chu Zhenren and Senior Brother Yun Tian were there. Upon seeing Ye Tianfan, Senior Brother Yun Tian first rejoiced and then let out a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Tian Chu, why are you here?" After asking, Tian Chu Zhenren noticed Ye Tianfan's figure and said, "Nephew Tianfan? Looks like you've returned safely. Did you bring some important information?"

Tian Chu Zhenren, having lived for so long, immediately realized, seeing Tian Chu Zhenren with Ye Tianfan, that Ye Tianfan had something important to report. Otherwise, if it were just about Ye Tianfan's safe return, he could have just notified himself without needing to bring Tian Chu Zhenren along.

"The Sect Leader is right," Tian Chu Zhenren directly spoke.

After hearing Tian Chu Zhenren say so, Tian Chu Zhenren had them sit down but didn't ask Senior Brother Yun Tian to leave, allowing him to sit down as well.

Once Ye Tianfan and the others sat down, Tian Chu Zhenren detailed the situation to Tian Chu Zhenren and then said to Ye Tianfan, "Release that Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake and let the Sect Leader have a look."

Ye Tianfan, without hesitation, stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve, revealing the Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake sleeping tightly wound around Ye Tianfan's arm.

Tian Chu Zhenren, upon seeing the Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake, instantly extended his perception. The result was as Ye Tianfan described: the snake possessed an obvious aura of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake within its body. Though faint, it was still clearly perceivable.

"Water Head!" Tian Chu Zhenren declared with great certainty.

"Impossible! No outsiders have ever entered Taihuo Peak. How could I not sense it if someone had entered?" Upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, Tian Chu Zhenren's hair bristled.

What Tian Chu Zhenren referred to as the Water Head indicated that the aura of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake within this Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake's body was representative of the water attribute, and it was the water attribute head being suppressed within Taihuo Peak.

This meant that someone had entered the cave where the water-attributed snake head was suppressed in Taihuo Peak and taken something.

Tian Chu Zhenren could hardly believe it. He also extended his perception, carefully sensing several times, and finally slumped into his chair in despair: "I didn't expect it truly to be the Water Head. Even under my protection, they managed to steal from the Water Head. If they decide to unseal the Water Head..."

Tian Chu Zhenren could not continue his sentence. He dared not imagine what might happen subsequently. Firstly, the complete destruction of Taihuo Peak would be inevitable. Once Taihuo Peak was destroyed, the large array formed by the nine branches of Taichu Sect would instantly collapse, and the seals suppressing the Nine-Headed Demon Snake on the other peaks would disintegrate. The Nine-Headed Demon Snake would re-emerge into the world.

"Demon Sect!" For the first time, Tian Chu Zhenren showed a look of hatred on his usually stern face.

"Junior Brother Tian Chu, don't blame yourself. Remember, the first layer of protection against outsiders entering Taichu Sect lies with me. Upon entering Taichu Sect and passing through the main array, I should first perceive them. It is only afterward that entering Taihuo Peak would be sensed by you. Since I failed to perceive them, it's not surprising that you didn't either," Tian Chu Zhenren said to Tian Chu Zhenren: "Right now, we must discuss how to deal with this Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake."

"What is there to discuss? We should just kill it directly! Surely we wouldn't let it inherit the power of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake?" Tian Chu Zhenren angrily exclaimed.

"We shouldn't be so hasty, Junior Brother Tian Chu. This Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake, as I've heard from Yun Tian, is very close to Nephew Tianfan. Moreover, the aura of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake has not intertwined with the Bloodlight Five-Element Extreme Snake. In fact, this Giant Snake is resisting the invasion of the Nine-Headed Demon Snake's aura," Tian Chu Zhenren advised. After all, if this Giant Snake could truly grow, it would suffice as a Sect Guardian Spirit Beast. Most importantly, Tian Chu Zhenren did not detect any ferocity from this Giant Snake. It felt as pure as a newborn puppy.

"This..." Tian Chu Zhenren considered, finding reason in Tian Chu Zhenren's words. The Giant Snake had accepted Little Seven as its master, and he had overstepped himself.

"Little Seven, what do you think?" Tian Chu Zhenren turned to ask Ye Tianfan, ready to see how Ye Tianfan wished to handle the situation.

Ye Tianfan thought for a moment and said, "I leave it entirely up to Master to decide."

At this point, since Ye Tianfan had not yet formed a bond with the Giant Snake, he didn't feel very attached to it. Instead, he found it somewhat troublesome.
