"We absolutely cannot let anyone outside us know about this," Master Zhichu suddenly said seriously. "I'll talk to Senior Brother Sect Leader about this when we return, and the other peak heads will be informed as well. Other than these people, I don't want anyone else to know!"

At this moment, Master Yuanchu also snapped out of his withdrawn state and stood beside Master Zhichu.

After all, Master Yuanchu was relatively sensible and knew what was important and what was not.

Master Zhenchu was no longer withdrawn and nodded earnestly.

Senior Brother Yun Tian was also serious, knowing what this situation meant and how chaotic the world would be if this information leaked out.

"Nephew Tianfan, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?" Master Zhichu suddenly remembered. Even though they hadn't spoken, had Ye Tianfan already told others about this matter before they were informed?

"No... no!" Ye Tianfan quickly waved his hand. He had realized the importance of this matter and quickly assured that he hadn't told anyone before.

"That's good. From now on, you mustn't tell anyone, except if Sect Leader asks you. Even if heads of other peaks inquire, don't say anything. I'll make it clear to the other heads. If someone comes to ask you, it means that person isn't genuine. Understand?" Master Zhichu said sternly to Ye Tianfan.

"I kn... know." Ye Tianfan was baffled by Master Zhichu's sternness but agreed.

After all, this also concerned his own comfort.

Ye Tianfan now truly understood how lucky and miraculous it was to perfectly interact with the mystical creature, Zhuma Langma.

"Yes, from now on, pretend as if nothing happened. After you find the remnants of the Extreme Fire, just say you climbed down immediately and had nothing to do with Zhuma Langma. This time, you didn't even see Zhuma Langma's face! Got it?" Master Zhichu instructed Ye Tianfan.

"Understood!" Ye Tianfan was a smart person. He knew Master Zhichu was doing this for his own good, which was why he was asked to lie.

So Ye Tianfan agreed without thinking. If anyone asked where he found the remnants of the Extreme Fire, he must not mention Zhuma Langma's existence.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan was certain that once this matter concluded, there would definitely be people going to Zhuma Langma's peak to try their luck. And not just the righteous, if the news spread, the dark sects might already be moving.

Seeing Ye Tianfan nod seriously, Master Zhichu nodded in satisfaction, then said, "After this is over, I believe Senior Brother Sect Leader will have a talk with you. Just tell him everything you know. But rest assured, our Taichu Sect will not force you to harm Zhuma Langma, nor will we disturb the lives of those Zhuma Langma."

"Of course, I'm at ease!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

Although Ye Tianfan had only been part of Taichu Sect for less than three years, he had clearly observed the character of all disciples within the Taichu Sect.

There were no bad people; no one would harm others for personal gain. From Taichu Sect as a whole, Ye Tianfan could sense benevolence.

The core of Taichu Sect's doctrine was also about helping the weak, not misusing one's power, respecting the elders, and prohibiting infighting, among others.

Ye Tianfan couldn't remember many of these now, but just recalling these points showed what kind of sect Taichu Sect was.

Master Zhichu saw Ye Tianfan wasn't troubled by this and was satisfied with the current situation. After all, they taught disciples to be honest and trustworthy, but he had just asked Ye Tianfan to lie, which might be hard for Ye Tianfan, just twenty-something, to comprehend.

If Ye Tianfan knew that Master Zhichu viewed him as a child, he'd definitely be speechless.

But for the several hundred-year-old Master Zhichu, looking at a twenty-something was like viewing an infant, only Ye Tianfan was quite mature, so Master Zhichu promoted him from an infant to a child.

"Alright, just pay attention from now on. I'll go to the Green Mountain Sect to borrow an Extreme Fire seed for you to start artifact refining and array practice!" After saying this, Master Zhichu spoke to Masters Yuanchu and Zhenchu.

"Okay! Hurry up, Senior Brother Zhichu!" Master Yuanchu said eagerly, "Come back soon; although we don't need the remnants of the Extreme Fire, using it is quite good, and I can't wait, so come back quickly, Senior Brother Zhichu."

"Yes... yes, I can't wait either. The legendary Extreme Fire," Master Zhenchu added.

"You guys! I guess you'll have to wait a while; who goes out with an Extreme Fire? They have to return to the sect to get it, and you won't be able to use it soon." Master Zhichu said with a smile.

"Tsk!" Master Yuanchu gave a huff at Master Zhichu's smile, thinking: Is this really that funny? You've got the remnants, the real remnants of the Extreme Fire, you can use it however you want. What about us? We have to wait several days.

"Hm?" Master Zhichu heard Master Yuanchu's impatient voice and smiled at him.

Seeing Master Zhichu's smile, Master Yuanchu immediately apologized, "Sorry, Senior Brother Zhichu, for bothering you to make the trip. Thank you."

After saying this, Master Yuanchu felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back. The smiling Senior Brother Zhichu was truly terrifying; the sudden surge of aura scared Master Yuanchu into a cold sweat.

You know, when Senior Brother Zhichu smiles, even Senior Brother Sect Leader has to compromise. The smiling Master Zhichu is terrifying.

As for why Master Yuanchu was so afraid of the smiling Master Zhichu, it was because once he had accidentally offended him. But Master Zhichu simply smiled and said it was fine, so Master Yuanchu didn't take it seriously. As a result, he had severe diarrhea for a month, with Master Zhichu smiling and visiting daily.

Since that time, Master Yuanchu was left with a psychological shadow with Master Zhichu.
