System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The two hundred old demons at the Pifu Realm were filled with helplessness and fear.

Before Chen Xuan and Bai Li left, Bai Li used ruthless methods to force them to sign a master-servant contract and make a vow to Heaven—if Ze Lin Hai were destroyed, they would be annihilated.

Once their cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Once they swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, there is no possibility of going back on their word. Even if they are filled with fear, they can only grit their teeth and fight to the death to resist the enemy.

"Tsk tsk, how interesting." Yin Yi and the others, despite being in this tense atmosphere, acted as if nothing was wrong, observing with great interest the thousands of people and hundreds of powerful demons surrounding the warship.

"Although it's just a joint battle formation of an indigenous tribe, the fact that they can train thousands of people to cooperate seamlessly in such a low-level formation shows that this tribe is not to be underestimated," Yin nodded and analyzed softly.

"Not only that, brother, look at the eyes of these Innate Realm soldiers. They've clearly already disregarded life and death," one of the team members added.

"Yes, that's true. This native tribe is truly terrifying. It's one thing for ordinary tribesmen to fight to the death to protect their tribe, but these nearly two hundred powerful demons at the Pifu realm, despite their eyes being filled with fear, dare not flee even a step." Someone else chimed in.

"Hmph, they must be bound by the oath of Heaven," Yin Yi said confidently.

Just as the nine people were chatting leisurely, Yin Yi suddenly changed his expression, turned his head and looked in a certain direction deep in the Ze Lin Sea, and murmured, "This barren land actually hides a powerful demon at the Myriad Manifestations Realm?"

Before the words were finished, a curtain of water, carrying a powerful momentum, arrived in mid-air outside the Zelin Sea in the blink of an eye.

When Elder Long appeared, the thousands of humans who were bravely fighting at the front and the two hundred great demons below all bowed and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Clan Chief!"

"Greetings, Elder Long and Elder Xuan!"

At the same time, Yin Yi and the other nine people narrowed their eyes and looked at the three people who were surrounded and protected by a group of red-armored guards.

Even without the grand ceremony of everyone paying their respects, Yin Yi's keen eyesight could easily tell that the middle-aged man in the center must be the leader of this tribe.

Once Elder Long's identity was clarified, the eyes of Yin Yi and the other nine people instantly became respectful.

With a wave of his hand, Yin Yi put away the huge warship. Then, the nine of them lined up neatly and flew straight towards Elder Long and the others.

"presumptuous!"

"What are you going to do?"

As soon as Yin Yi and the others made a move, the cultivators from the two surrounding races instantly became alert, standing in front of Elder Long and the others without hesitation, and angrily rebuking them.

Elder Long, Elder Xuan, and Jiang Ming exchanged a glance, their hearts stirring: if they were enemies, with the overwhelming strength of these nine people, they would probably have already started a massacre against a group of Innate and Foundation Establishment cultivators. The current situation seems to have another hidden story.

Thinking of this, Elder Long raised his hand and said calmly to the guards around him, "You may all step back."

A passage was instantly cleared in mid-air, and Yin Yi and the others flew slowly and solemnly to get closer.

Before their departure, Qing Tian Xiao Lou's solemn instructions still echoed in their ears: "You all remember this: when facing Brother Chen Xuan's clan leader and clansmen, you must be humble and polite, and you must not do anything to offend or offend them. On this trip, you are not representing my Qing Tian clan, nor my father, Qing Tian Hou, but going to visit and befriend Brother Chen Xuan on my behalf."

With this in mind, Yin Yi and the others adopted an even more humble attitude.

Upon approaching, Yin Yi took the lead by kneeling on one knee in mid-air, while the other eight men followed in unison, proclaiming in a clear voice: "The Imperial Guards of the Marquis of Qingtian's Mansion, Yin Yi's squad, are here to pay our respects to Elder Long, the patriarch of the Longxia Clan of Qushan!"

The loud voice echoed like a great bell, and the sound waves spread in all directions, clearly audible to cultivators within a radius of several thousand meters.

In an instant, the air within a hundred miles seemed to freeze. The Yinglong Guards stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. The two hundred great demons who were originally prepared to fight to the death to stop them were also stunned on the spot.

Who would have thought that nine powerful beings at the Myriad Manifestations Realm would kneel on one knee in public to pay homage to Elder Long and the others, whose strength was only at the Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realms?

"What? The heir of the Marquis of Qingtian?"

"What... what's going on? The envoy of the true overlord of this land, the Azure Sky Marquis, is actually kneeling and paying homage to our clan leader?"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, echoing in the air.
