After understanding all the memories, Chen Lan remained silent.

The Undying Saint Body is not dead, but no one knows where it is imprisoned now.

The opponent's methods are too cruel, actually imprisoning a Sacred Body to torture and use it to feed vampires.

And it seems vampires have existed for a long time, but the Vampire Emperor in the memories wasn't like this; they were much uglier and less human-like before.

Now, they somewhat resemble humans and are also called Blood Corpses.

According to the vampire's memory, at least several thousand years have passed.

After such a long time, is that Undying Saint Body still alive?

Wait, maybe the Celestial Eye can be used to find where the Undying Saint Body is.

Chen Lan thought of something; the Celestial Eye can see causality. Perhaps it can see the causal line on this vampire, and there may be one connected to the Undying Saint Body.

After all, this vampire once absorbed the Undying Saint Body's Essence Blood, and the two have long been connected by cause and effect.

"Sect Leader, many people have come outside wanting to join our Xiao Yao Sect."

At this moment, Master Qingxuan's voice sounded outside the Sect Leader's Hall.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan used Divine Sense to look outside, seeing tens of thousands standing outside the Sect Protection Array.

They are the sect leaders and elders of other sects, now wanting to be incorporated into the Xiao Yao Sect like the Cyan Profound Sect to gain Chen Lan's protection.

In two days, the Demon Beasts will launch a full-scale attack on the sects; these smaller sects cannot withstand it, and can only rely on the larger sects.

Yet the larger sects have not materialized, and by the time they do, the smaller sects may be annihilated.

So they all discussed and finally agreed that the Xiao Yao Sect is the place they should go to. It is a large place that can accommodate them, and both the Sect Leader and the Guardian are quite powerful, making it an excellent choice.

Thus, the current scene emerged, with various sect leaders and elders coming over, wanting to join the sect!

"I understand. Tell them, joining the sect is simple: first help with the sect's reconstruction, then participate in the disciple recruitment assessment." Chen Lan spoke indifferently.

"Yes, Sect Leader, I'll go inform them immediately." Master Qingxuan nodded and left to convey the message.

After Master Qingxuan left, Chen Lan used time reversal to resurrect the vampire.

At seeing itself miraculously resurrected, the vampire immediately began to plead, begging Chen Lan to spare it.

"I was wrong. Please spare me, I am willing to do anything."

Ignoring it, Chen Lan commanded in his heart, "Celestial Eye, open!"

In an instant, a vertical pupil slowly appeared at the center of his forehead, and boundless radiance burst forth, emanating dazzling sacred light.

When this holy light shone on the vampire, it immediately began to emit white smoke, roiling in pain.

Originally, vampires avoided light, but this game-materialized vampire could move during the day, yet it still couldn't withstand the sacred light of the Celestial Eye.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!" The vampire emitted billowing white smoke, nearing its death.

Chen Lan's Celestial Eye was fully activated, and he observed the vampire, seeing many causality lines. He quickly searched these causal lines using Divine Sense.

The first line connected to an old woman's house; it turns out the vampire once drained her family's grandfather, and the old woman seeks revenge; this causality remains unsettled.

As long as someone seeks revenge, the causality will not end, unless the old woman gives up her revenge.

The first one isn't it, so onto the second line.

Like this, Chen Lan rapidly browsed all the causality lines, his Spiritual Qi depleting swiftly.

This Celestial Eye is one of the most powerful Divine Techniques, originally the innate divine technique of the celestial war god, something others cannot master.

Compared to other Divine Techniques, this one is extremely powerful but also consumes a lot of Spiritual Qi; in his peak state, Chen Lan can use it for at most two hours, no longer.

However, it only takes him half an hour to recover his Spiritual Qi.

Charge for one hour, duration for four hours.

...

On the other side.

Outside the Xiao Yao Sect.

"Do you think the Xiao Yao Sect's Sect Leader will let us in?"

"Not sure, their disciples are generally stronger than us; getting in might be tough."

"Yeah, I just took a glance, and there seems to be someone at the Saint King level; that's outrageous, a Saint King as an outer disciple?"

"If it doesn't work, we might have to kneel and beg."

"But we're sect leaders; isn't that inappropriate?"

"Are you damn stupid or what? Is face more important than life, you moron?"

"Are you... are you cursing me?"

"Can't you understand? My newly recruited native disciple taught me this; it's meant for those like you who can't understand."

Before Master Qingxuan emerged, the sect leaders and elders had started arguing among themselves.

Some were embarrassed since Chen Lan hadn't appeared for so long, and being sect leaders, if they talked about this, wouldn't their disciples laugh at them?

Others were different; they came seeking protection, caring little about face, since survival was paramount.

At this moment, Master Qingxuan appeared before the crowd. Seeing him, everyone immediately quieted down.

"The Sect Leader said you can join, but during this time, you must help expand the sect, and later you must participate in the disciple recruitment assessment to formally become outer disciples," Master Qingxuan said, surveying the group.

On hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"We still have to participate in the disciple recruitment assessment?"

"We're all seasoned sect leaders; isn't that unnecessary?"

"Indeed, having us retake the assessment seems disrespectful."

"Enough talking, joining is enough; life is most important."

"Haha, I still care about face. If the Xiao Yao Sect doesn't respect me, then I'll leave."

Instantly, many people left.

After all, they are still sect leaders, having served for many years now, and they are expected to pass an assessment just to become outer disciples.

That seems quite disrespectful to them.

In the past, with their level, joining even a decent sect exempted them from the assessment to just become outer disciples.

Now, they have to act on face terms, it's just a sect admission challenge after all; they don't believe they can't deal with those Demon Beasts.

Before long, two-thirds of the crowd left, leaving those who sincerely wanted to join the Xiao Yao Sect for safety.

Master Qingxuan did not persuade those leaving but rather addressed those who stayed, saying, "You can now join the Xiao Yao Sect to help with expansion. Together we will resist the enemy; since you've joined us, we won't abandon you."

"Great, thank you!"

"That's wonderful, thank you. I'll bring my disciples over right away."

"Thank you, greatly indebted to the Xiao Yao Sect Leader!"

"This kindness, we will absolutely never forget."

Hearing Master Qingxuan's words, a weight was finally lifted from their hearts.

Under the Xiao Yao Sect's protection, their hopes of survival greatly increased, and as for face, it's nowhere near as important as life.

Moreover, the Xiao Yao Sect seems quite impressive, almost comparable to a Holy Land.
