Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Song Tai was still in shock. From the moment Ye Yu started to the moment it ended, it probably hadn't even been ten minutes.

Moreover, her methods are swift and decisive; even her own master probably couldn't end the battle so quickly.

Who exactly is this Miss Ye? Could she be a Heavenly Rank expert?

Ye Yu ignored Song Tai for the time being and walked to the corpses of the two men from the He Mao family.

She found two wooden plaques on the two people, made of the same material as the box where she found the red-clothed female ghost hiding on the twelfth floor, both of which could block her divine sense.

No wonder Ye Yu didn't find them when she scanned with her divine sense; it turns out she was using this wooden sign. They were probably the two of them inside when the elevator automatically went up and down.

Ye Yu carefully put away the wooden plaque, planning to take the wooden box with her later.

She burned the two bodies with a fireball, but when she turned around, she saw Song Tai still looking dazed, as if he was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

Ye Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly, teasingly asking, "What's wrong? Are you so startled you can't even react?"

Song Tai nodded subconsciously at first, but quickly shook his head and stammered, "I was indeed scared at first, but I gradually got used to it."

Ye Yu laughed out loud upon hearing this: "Could it be that I scared you?"

A blush crept across Song Tai's face. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I... I really didn't expect you to be so amazing, able to handle two powerful experts with such composure and ease. Moreover, you broke through that complex and troublesome formation with ease."

After speaking, Song Tai cautiously glanced at Ye Yu's face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "You wouldn't happen to be a Heaven-rank expert already, would you?"

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and deliberately lowered his voice as he replied, "Peak of the late Earth Rank, I suppose!"

She casually told a little white lie. It's important to know that even within the deeply entrenched Hidden Sect, those who can reach the peak of the late Earth Rank are extremely rare.

If Song Tai were to discover my true strength, and he were to accidentally spread the word, it would undoubtedly bring me a lot of trouble and problems. Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile.

After hearing Ye Yu's words, Song Tai's previously anxious heart inexplicably calmed down.

He then said with a wry smile, "I was so confident in front of you before, saying I would protect you, but who knew that you would be the one protecting me."

At this moment, all he felt for Ye Yu was admiration: "We are about the same age, but I didn't expect you to be a late-stage peak expert, while I am only at the early stage of the Profound Rank."

Seeing his disappointment, Ye Yu comforted him, "Cultivation requires talent, effort, and opportunity—all three are indispensable. I just had a bit more opportunity than you. Besides, the cultivation technique you practice is quite good; in the later stages, it even has a hint of immortal charm, making it much better than ordinary ancient martial arts techniques."

Song Tai felt much better: "Thank you, Miss Ye. I do indeed cultivate a top-tier technique. Could you tell me which sect you belong to? To be able to cultivate someone as outstanding as you, it must be one of those sects, right?"

Ye Yu naturally understood that the families Song Tai mentioned were the renowned "Heavenly Sword Sect" and "Taiyi Sect" and other powerful sects within the Qianmen sect.

She gently shook her head: "Actually, I can't be considered a member of the Qianmen."

Upon hearing this, Song Tai looked on with suspicion: "How is that possible? With your skills and abilities, if you didn't come from these sects, how could you have such superb attainments..."

Ye Yu's expression turned somewhat forlorn: "To tell you the truth, the one who truly belongs to the Hidden Sect is my master. When she went out to train, she accidentally discovered that my talent was a once-in-a-millennium genius, and she felt a surge of appreciation for my talent. Unfortunately, her sect had a rule that strictly prohibited the acceptance of disciples from the secular world. Helpless, my master could only secretly teach me various cultivation techniques without the knowledge of the sect."

At this point, Ye Yu sighed softly and continued, "Actually, I've always longed to step into the Hidden Sect and witness its wonders firsthand. Unfortunately, my master firmly disagreed with letting me in. She stated that privately accepting me as a disciple already violated the sect's rules and regulations. If she were to bring someone like me, who lives in the mortal world, into the sect, she would have no face to face her fellow disciples and the sect elders."

After hearing these words, Song Tai couldn't help but sigh, "This is utterly outdated! Such rules are simply burying talent!"

He realized that he shouldn't criticize his elders, after all, they were Miss Ye's mentors!

He quickly explained, "Actually, what I meant was that someone with such amazing talent as you has actually cultivated to the late Earth Rank, which is rare in the entire Hidden Sect. So I firmly believe that if your master's sect knew about your current cultivation achievements, they would definitely accept you as a disciple without hesitation."

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "So, may I ask, which sect or family did your master come from?"

Ye Yu gently shook her head and replied, "To be honest, I really know nothing about this. My master has never revealed any of this information to me, and it's been almost a year since I last saw her."

Upon hearing this, Song Tai lowered his head and began to ponder.

After a moment, he raised his head and speculated, "Judging from the superb skills you just displayed, especially the fact that you used a sword, your master might be from the number one sect, 'Heavenly Sword Sect'!"

However, Ye Yu shook her head blankly in response to his speculation, indicating that she knew nothing about it.

After this incident and the conversation just now, Ye Yu felt that Song Tai was someone she could get to know better, especially since he was also a member of the Qianmen sect.

So Ye Yu fabricated a plausible lie to deepen her relationship with Song Tai, thus gaining another friend when she entered the Qianmen.

Ye Yu said, "Just call me Yan Wu. We're friends now, so there's no need to be so formal."

Song Tai's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Great, Yan Wu. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me. Although my strength is not as good as yours right now, I will never refuse to help as long as it is within my power."

Ye Yu smiled gently, thinking that Song Tai might seem cold on the outside, but he was actually a naive and innocent person on the inside.

She said, "Then I thank you in advance. If you need any help from me, you can let me know."

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Song Tai's face showed a look of hesitation.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say but was hesitant to speak, Ye Yu asked, "Do you need my help right now?"
