To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

"Brother, what happened? Is it really that serious?" When Yan Jun heard what Patriarch Donghua said, he instinctively felt that something serious must have happened.

Patriarch Donghua thought about it and decided to tell Yan Jun about the matter. He didn't want Yan Jun to live in lies, and he also hoped that Yan Jun could be prepared in advance.

"The entire Tianyuan Continent is not as simple as we imagined. It turns out that we are nothing more than food kept captive by the demon race, and the Tiansheng Palace is nothing more than a lackey used by the demon race to control us."

"What?" Yan Jun widened his eyes in shock.

Donghua Patriarch turned around to look at Yan Jun, who was filled with shock, and continued, "These contents were recorded in the jade slips given to me by the mysterious force before. I didn't want to believe it was true, but the facts have proven that the Tianyuan Continent is indeed a food kept by the demon race. The Tiansheng Palace's help in breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Stage is nothing but a scam."

"Now I have been targeted by the Tiansheng Palace. The Tiansheng Palace is manipulating various forces to attack us, just to force me to join the Tiansheng Palace. After training me into a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, they will send me to the demon tribe and become their food."

"This..." Yan Jun couldn't believe it was true. It completely overturned his three views. The Tiansheng Palace, which was once considered a holy place for human cultivation, was actually a running dog of the demon clan.

Although the recent scandal of Tiansheng Palace has affected the reputation of Tiansheng Palace, it has not completely shaken the status of Tiansheng Palace in Tianyuan Continent.

If this matter were to be exposed, I'm afraid the entire Tianyuan Continent would be in turmoil.

"Brother, when you promised Tiansheng Palace that you were willing to join them, was it a delaying tactic?" Yan Jun suddenly thought of the conversation between Patriarch Donghua and Elder Feilong after the last destruction of the Worry-Free Business Alliance.

"That's right. The Seven Killing Sect and Worry-Free Merchant Alliance that we destroyed before were both controlled by the Tiansheng Palace. If we don't find a way to stabilize the Tiansheng Palace, they will definitely attack us immediately."

"Given the unfathomable strength of the Tiansheng Palace, if they attack us, we will definitely not be their match."

Yan Jun nodded solemnly. He was also aware of the strength of the Tiansheng Palace. The strength in public alone was terrifying, and the strength in secret was even more unfathomable.

"Then what should we do?" Yan Jun looked at Patriarch Donghua worriedly.

"Of course, it's to enhance our strength. The mysterious force that revealed the secrets of the Heavenly Saint Palace to me last time has found me. They want to use me to deal with the Heavenly Saint Palace, so they are willing to give me these precious resources to help me improve my strength."

"I hope that you can use these resources to improve your own strength. Only when you are strong enough can you cope with the crisis that may come at any time."

"What is the origin of that mysterious force? Is it really reliable?" Yan Jun looked at Donghua Patriarch with a serious expression.

Donghua Patriarch shook his head: "I don't know, but the recent commotion in Tianyuan Continent was caused by them. Although I don't know the specific origins of this mysterious force, their strength is definitely not simple."

"This time the other party will personally send the resources over. If I get a chance, I will definitely find out where they came from." A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Patriarch Donghua.

"Alright, what I told you today is for you to keep private. Don't tell anyone else. From now on, you need to work hard to improve your strength and continue to pay attention to the developments on the Tianyuan Continent."

"Yes!" Yan Jun responded and secretly decided in his heart that he must work hard to improve his strength.

Five days passed quickly. Patriarch Donghua stood on the top of the mountain, waiting for news from the mysterious force, and Lord Yan stood behind him.

Finally, the phone they were waiting for rang. Donghua Patriarch pressed the answer button, and from the inside came the same voice as last time: "Donghua Sword Sect is a thousand miles west. I will wait for you there."

Su Motang hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Patriarch Donghua frowned. He didn't expect that the other party would come directly to the Donghua Sword Sect within a thousand miles.

"He is so close to us. It seems that he is confident in his own strength and is not afraid of our sect. Could it be that the other party is a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage?" Yan Jun pondered.

"Interesting, I am becoming more and more interested in this mysterious force." A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Donghua Patriarch.

"Brother, I want to go with you. I also want to see the methods of this mysterious force." Yan Jun suddenly suggested.

"Okay, let's go."

Two beams of light shot up into the sky and soon arrived a thousand miles due west of the Donghua Sword Sect. Donghua Patriarch and Yan Jun easily spotted a mysterious cultivator standing on the top of the mountain.

The two approached quickly and landed a hundred feet away from Su Motang. Both pairs of eyes were fixed on the mysterious man in front of them who was shrouded in a cloud of white mist.

At the same time, Patriarch Donghua and Lord Yan also used their spiritual sense to investigate Su Motang with all their strength. However, during their investigation, the mysterious man in front of them was like a cloud of fog, completely impossible to see through.

Although Su Motang is not yet a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he and Patriarch Donghua are already on different levels. Naturally, he has many ways to prevent Patriarch Donghua from detecting his situation.

The more Patriarch Donghua and Yan Jun investigated, the more frightened they became. They could feel that the cultivator in front of them was a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul stage. This was the only result they could find out.

However, both of them felt a huge pressure from each other.

Su Motang looked at Patriarch Donghua and Yan Jun calmly. If it was before he joined Qingyun Sect, even with his strength of practicing both magic and body, he would not be much different from Patriarch Donghua. But now the gap in strength between them is too big.

With a flick of his wrist, a storage ring flew over and appeared in front of Patriarch Donghua.

"These are the resources you want. You can check them first." Su Motang said calmly, not worried at all that Patriarch Donghua would embezzle these treasures.

Patriarch Donghua quickly picked up the storage ring, and with a thought, several jade bottles appeared in the void in front of him. Each jade bottle was marked with the treasure inside.

He first picked up the jade bottle with the words "Heavenly Soul Liquid" written on it and opened the lid. He saw that the jade bottle was filled with a full bottle of silver liquid, and an invigorating breath came towards him.

Patriarch Donghua took a drop and held it in front of his eyes to observe for a while, confirming that this was the Heavenly Soul Liquid. He took a drop and tried it, and it was indeed the real Heavenly Soul Liquid.

Yan Jun behind him looked at him nervously, with worry and expectation in his eyes.

"It's indeed Heavenly Soul Liquid. You're quite resourceful, but isn't Heavenly Soul Liquid only produced in small quantities in places where souls gather? Where did you get so much of it?"

"You don't need to know that."

Patriarch Donghua closed the bottle and put it away carefully. He then checked the rest of the treasures and finally confirmed that the ten innate golden energies and the body-refining resources in the other bottles were indeed extremely rare treasures and priceless as he had said before.

After inspecting the items, Donghua Patriarch collected all the resources, but a strong fighting spirit suddenly surged from him: "Sir, if you want to take away the resources of my Donghua Sword Sect, let me see if you are qualified to trade with me."
