Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

"Indeed, didn't you see their arrogance?" Shen Jinyan replied in a low voice, glancing at Ye Yunjian. "They came here for this year's sect competition?" Bai Yueling asked shrewdly.

"Not entirely, it's also to discuss the upcoming opening of the sect's small secret realm." Upon hearing this, Ye Yunjian's mind stirred.

"They're going to open up the sect's secret realm?" Ye Yunjian was somewhat surprised.

His words, though not loud, attracted the attention of the other elders and disciples around him. Wei Wuji, the chief disciple of the Grand Elder, glared at Ye Yunjian, who returned the glare.

Wei Wuji wanted to continue provoking him, but when he saw Shen Jinyan and the others glaring at him, he knew he was not to be trifled with, so he turned his face away and pretended to be nonchalant.

"Could it be that the inner sect has invited us to participate in their secret realm?" Ye Yunjian wondered thoughtfully.

It should be noted that the inner sect has always been aloof and has always cultivated in the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace of Xuanhuo Mountain. The master of the inner sect is usually the natural successor to the master of the Xuanhuo Sect.

Unfortunately, after the previous sect leaders met with misfortune and perished one after another, the outer sect elder Situ Jiuxiao suddenly rose to prominence. Taking advantage of the successive deaths of powerful people in the inner sect, he overpowered the inner sect elders at the sect assembly and became the sect leader of the entire sect.

There have always been people within the sect who believe that Situ Jiuxiao obtained the position of sect leader through underhanded means, which is not honorable.

Although the top experts of the inner sect have fallen one after another, the foundation remains, especially the Thirty-Three Heavens Small Secret Realm, which contains the secrets of the Xuanhuo Sect that are not passed down. Situ Jiuxiao has always coveted the Small Secret Realm, but after so many years of trying various methods, he has been unable to uncover its mysteries.

Based on Ye Yunjian's understanding of Situ Jiuxiao, he would never allow this situation to continue and would definitely plan and arrange to subdue this inner sect.

If he can't subdue them, given his ruthless and vicious nature, he'll find a way to eradicate this inner sect sooner or later...

Although he now holds the title of Sect Master of the Xuanhuo Sect, the Inner Sect is the core of the Xuanhuo Sect. Without mastering the Inner Sect, one cannot say that one has completely mastered the Xuanhuo Sect!

Although the inner and outer sects each have their own merits, the inner sect has its own mysteries, and even Situ Jiuxiao still has to be polite to it on the surface.

"The Lesser Secret Realm is a secret of the inner sect, how could they allow us, the outer sect, to participate?"

Ye Yunjian felt something was amiss the more he thought about it, so he asked Shen Jinyan for clarification.

Many things have changed in this life. In the previous life, the small secret realm was open, but the people from the inner sect never came to the outer sect!

Shen Jinyan paused slightly, and Bai Yueling glanced around at the people opposite her, then quietly said, "Perhaps it has something to do with the woman sitting across from us..."

"Me and her? What does she have to do with our outer sect?" Upon hearing this, Wei Wuji frowned and shook his head in confusion.

"Don't you know that woman was recommended to the inner sect by our master?" Bai Yueling pouted angrily at the woman over there.

"How did you know?" Ye Yunjian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Do you know what that woman's name is?" Bai Yueling asked with a smug look on her face, glancing at Ye Yunjian, whose body was stiff.

"Meng Chuxi! Come to think of it, we actually have a bit of a connection, Third Senior Brother!"

"Meng Chuxi, who is destined to be with us? Isn't that... Master's adopted daughter?" Ye Yunjian's face turned slightly red.

“Yes, she is the adopted daughter of Master. When you were little, you always played house together, pretending to be husband and wife.” Xiao Qingshuang suddenly turned around and reminded Ye Yunjian with a smile.

"Why is even my senior sister making fun of me?"

Ye Yunjian was about to refute, but suddenly fell silent. He realized that such a thing had happened back then.

Many years ago, when I was still a teenager, I only remember that one day my master brought a cute little girl and asked his senior and junior brothers to take care of her.

At that time, for some reason, their master only recognized this girl as his goddaughter, but refused to accept her as his disciple. They were young then and didn't care, so their eldest sister often took her to the market.

Once, they saw a wedding procession on the road, where people were throwing candy. So they joined the crowd to watch. The little girl, with her girlish heart, saw the bride going through the wedding ceremony and wanted to dress up as the bride on the way back. Since there was no groom, she asked Ye Yunjian to fill in.

Ye Yunjian still remembers that the little girl had a red cloth on her head that Xiao Qingshuang had found somewhere, and together they bowed to heaven and earth, bowed to their parents, and then bowed to each other as husband and wife! He had long forgotten the scene at that time, but now it seemed like yesterday.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunjian suddenly felt a touch of warmth in his heart.

In his previous life, Ye Yunjian cultivated in a sect, never marrying or having a lover. He was cared for by Situ Jiuxiao, his senior sister, and his senior brothers from a young age. Later, his senior sisters and brothers passed away one by one. After cultivating for many years, he was possessed by Situ Jiuxiao when he was about to break through...

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at Situ Jiuxiao, who was sitting in the main seat, and the fire of hatred in his heart was reignited. Situ Jiuxiao was at a crucial moment with the elder of the inner sect and did not look at him.

Seeing his expression, Bai Yueling quickly reminded him from behind, "Fourth Senior Brother, listen, Master is already talking with the inner sect elders."

"I heard that Meng Chuxi has made rapid progress since entering the inner sect, and at such a young age, she has already become the youngest elder in the inner sect..." Xiao Qingshuang paused slightly, looking at Ye Yunjian's puzzled expression, and couldn't help but chuckle, "When Master sent her into the inner sect, he made a promise with the Grand Elder that if she could advance to the Profound King realm within five years, he would open the inner sect's small secret realm. It seems he's going to keep his promise..."

"I never expected someone so young to advance to the Profound King realm so quickly? How did they do it..." Ye Yunjian thought to herself, and suddenly trembled slightly. Unless she...

Situ Jiuxiao coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, Situ Jiuxiao was quite satisfied and addressed everyone present, saying, "To all the elders and disciples of the Xuanhuo Sect, let me introduce you to the guests who have come to my Xuanhuo Hall today. They are all accomplished individuals from within my sect."

Ten years ago, I made an agreement with the elders of the inner sect that before this year's sect competition, the inner sect would open its small secret cultivation grounds to my outer sect. Today, the elders of the inner sect have come here specifically to select suitable disciples from the outer sect to participate in this event.

Therefore, all outer sect disciples must seize this opportunity. Furthermore, to ensure fairness, this selection will be presided over by Elder Nie of the inner sect!

The Grand Elder of the Inner Sect stood up, nodded to Situ Jiuxiao, and smiled, "Sect Master, I, Nie Hanshan, have been in the Inner Sect for many years. I am honored by your high regard. This time, the selection of the Outer Sect members for the opening of the Small Secret Realm will be jointly made by me and several other elders!"

"Alright, Elder Nie will decide! Elder Nie and the other elders are highly respected and will surely select a suitable candidate!" Seeing Nie Hanshan stand up, Situ Jiuxiao also gave him face and stood up to announce to everyone.
