I was just collecting them casually, how did the disciples become emperors?

Ye Xinghe snorted coldly, and the spiritual power in his hand suddenly became brighter, turning into strands of spiritual power threads that seemed to be real, and quickly rushed towards the meridians around the black centipede like a nimble silver snake.

The black centipede widened his eyes, feeling in horror the strange and overbearing power rampaging through his body. He wanted to struggle and resist, but found that he could not move. His whole body seemed to be nailed to the void. He could only watch as the spiritual power threads ruthlessly shredded his meridians accumulated through years of hard practice.

“Ahhh…” The black centipede screamed like a pig being slaughtered, the shrill sound piercing the sky and making the scalps of everyone around it tingle.

In a moment, the spiritual power in his body was like a flood that broke through a dam, leaking out uncontrollably.

His originally vigorous and full aura instantly weakened, and his body became visibly shriveled and hunched. Cold sweat poured down like rain, soaking his clothes.

Ye Xinghe withdrew his hand and looked expressionlessly at the black centipede that collapsed on the ground like mud. "I'll spare your life, but go back to the Sima family. Lu Qianqiu, take this message with you - from now on, Ximen Feixue is a disciple of my Tongtian Peak! My Tongtian Peak is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated. Anyone who dares to provoke us again will surely die! Do you understand?"

The black centipede gasped for breath, his face full of resentment, but he didn't dare to lash out. He could only tremble and reply, "I understand..."

"Get out of here!"

Ye Xinghe suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound was so loud that it made the black centipede's ears buzz.

He didn't dare delay any longer, and he scrambled to his feet, staggering and calling out to the group of men in black who were also terrified: "What are you all standing there for? Let's go!"

The group of men in black acted as if they had been pardoned. They supported the black centipede and fled in the direction they came from, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ximen Feixue was still leaning on his long sword, kneeling on one knee and breathing heavily, with blood dripping from his wounds, looking in a miserable state.

He looked up at Ye Xinghe, his eyes filled with shock. "Thank you so much for saving me! Ximen Feixue has no way to repay you. If you hadn't arrived in time, my Ximen family would have been wiped out today."

After saying that, he struggled to stand up and salute.

Ye Xinghe raised his hand to stop him, frowned slightly, and took two steps forward to check his injuries: "Don't move, you are seriously injured."

As he spoke, a warm light emanated from his palm as he gently placed it on Ximen Feixue's shoulder. A gentle spiritual power slowly poured into him, helping him calm his disordered qi and blood and repair his damaged meridians.

Everyone in the Ximen family also gathered around. Ximen Zhenyue burst into tears and knelt down with a plop: "Thank you, Master Ye Feng, for saving my life. My Ximen family will remember this for generations. If you have any orders, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!" The other relatives and friends also had a look of gratitude on their faces and knelt down to kowtow.

Ye Xinghe hurriedly helped Ximen Zhenyue up and said gently, "Master Ximen, please stand up quickly. I will not stand by and watch you suffer. Besides, I came here for another reason."

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Ximen Feixue, a glint of hope in his eyes. "Ximen Feixue, you heard what I just said. I intend to take you as my disciple, take you back to Tongtian Peak, teach you the skills, and help you seek revenge. Are you willing?"

Ximen Feixue's eyes instantly blazed with a fiery light upon hearing this. Without hesitation, he knelt down and kowtowed three times. "Disciple is willing! Disciple has always dreamed of becoming a disciple of a renowned master, learning powerful skills, and avenging today's shame! Master, I beg you to take me in!"

Ye Xinghe showed a look of relief and helped Ximen Feixue up: "Okay! In that case, from now on, you will be my disciple of Tongtian Peak. When your injuries are better, we will set off back to the peak."

Turning to Ximen Zhenyue, he said, "Master Ximen, don't worry. Feixue has become my disciple and I will teach her carefully. If the Ximen family encounters difficulties in the future, as long as it is reasonable, Tongtian Peak will lend a hand."

Ximen Zhenyue's lips trembled with excitement. "Thank you, Master Ye! No, thank you, Master Ye! With your words, my Ximen family has hope."

Suddenly, Ye Xinghe's mind rang with the familiar and cold prompt tone of the system: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of recruiting disciples. Special reward: 1,000 high-grade spirit crystals, which can help the host quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and replenish his own spiritual power.

There is also a set of forging blueprints for a divine weapon. Once the materials are gathered, a peerless divine weapon with extraordinary power can be forged. I hope the host will continue to work hard and strengthen the mountain gate."

Ye Xinghe was delighted, but before he could carefully check the reward details, the system voice sounded again: "It has been detected that the meridians of our new disciple Ximen Feixue are damaged. A damaged foundation is not conducive to subsequent cultivation and growth. Therefore, a special reward is the secret manual of the Hunyuan Restoration Sutra. This secret manual is an ancient and lost secret manual, specially used to repair damaged meridians and reshape spiritual roots. With great practice, a damaged body can be restored to its original state, or even better than before."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Xinghe's eyes. He turned to look at Ximen Feixue with a serious expression: "Disciple, you are seriously injured this time. I am worried that your future cultivation will be hindered. This book is specially given to you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the secret book appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Ximen Feixue.

Ximen Feixue was stunned and subconsciously reached out to take it. He felt the warmth of the secret book and a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy passed into his palm, dispelling the coldness in his body.

He took a closer look and saw six large characters "Hunyuan Restoration Sutra" written in a flamboyant style on the cover. He turned the pages and although he could not understand it for a while, he could feel that this book was different from others!

"Master... Master, this secret manual is too valuable, disciple..."

Ximen Feixue's eyes were red. His master had just saved his entire family's lives and received such a generous reward. He even obtained this divine scripture before he even went up the mountain. He didn't know how to repay this kindness.

Ye Xinghe patted his shoulder and said gently, "Don't refuse. Since you have become my disciple, I will do my best to help you grow. Your meridians are damaged. If you don't repair them in time, your future cultivation will be difficult. This secret book is your opportunity. Practice well."

Besides, only when his disciple practices well can he become a winner in life, right?

Ximen Feixue nodded heavily, carefully placed the secret book in his arms, and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master! I will live up to your expectations and devote all my energy to studying this sutra. I will recover soon, practice diligently, and bring honor to Tongtian Peak!"

Although Ximen Feixue didn't know why Ye Xinghe suddenly appeared, but after all, isn't it true that people who practice cultivation rely on fate?

Or perhaps it was his sincere desire to go to Tongtian Peak to become a disciple that moved the heavens, and that’s why the master came to save him!

In short, Ximen Feixue vowed to practice well!

Ye Xinghe glanced at Ximen Feixue and nodded slightly, "Disciple, it's time to set off back to Tongtian Peak. The peak is rich in resources, with numerous secret manuals and techniques, as well as many training grounds. They will be of great help to your future cultivation."

The key is that he can't miss the sect competition to beat those people!
