Chapter 2079: United in the Same Boat

Ye Liuyun then continued: "Perfect, we can return to the Profound Heaven Sect together! I estimate my master must be waiting anxiously by now!"

Ah?

Ye King wants to go back to the Profound Heaven Sect with me?

This…… this isn't appropriate, is it?

After all, you are now the East Cloud King; going back to the Profound Heaven Sect as a disciple…… this…… this isn't appropriate either!

Lu Yi hesitated and tried to deflect.

What's inappropriate about it! Can't disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect be kings?

Or who stipulated that after becoming a king, one can betray the master's sect?

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"" Lu Yi was also momentarily speechless.

Betraying the master's sect and not acknowledging the sect is something that shames all martial cultivators.

Although Ye Liuyun entered the Profound Heaven Sect under a false name, he has made contributions to the sect.

Moreover, given his current status, the Profound Heaven Sect cannot expel Ye Liuyun from the master's sect.

Then it would become a direct falling-out with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun even dares to scheme against the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance; in a fit of anger, he might send troops to flatten the Profound Heaven Sect.

So Lu Yi knows clearly that Ye Liuyun is stuck with the Profound Heaven Sect, yet he can do nothing about it.

I estimate that after Ye Liuyun's turmoil, even if they wanted to ally with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, the Alliance would not believe them.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun and Lu Yi rushed together toward the Profound Heaven Sect.

Along the way, the fifty-thousand-strong mighty army marched grandly, drawing everyone's attention.

""So it turns out Ye King is a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect; no wonder he could overthrow the Eastern Dynasty.

The Profound Heaven Sect's grand strategy is played well!

""Or the Profound Heaven Sect is awesome! Its disciples can even overthrow dynasties.

From now on, we should still send disciples to the Profound Heaven Sect for training!

All Lu Yi heard along the road were these pieces of information.

Regarding this, he too was helpless!

The Profound Heaven Sect also received the news.

The sect master and elders, while marveling at Ye Liuyun's identity, still had to prepare to welcome him.

As the master of the Eastern Dynasty, Ye Liuyun personally visited the Profound Heaven Sect; if they didn't go to receive him, it would seem overly rude.

Therefore, on the day Ye Liuyun arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect, the sect master and many elders also went personally to the mountain gate to greet him.

""Master!

Ye Liuyun, upon seeing Jin Qing Song, bowed from afar.

""Haha, good, good! I never expected to be fortunate enough to receive such a renowned disciple!

Jin Qing Song doesn't care about the conflicts between powers.

The more accomplished Ye Liuyun becomes, the prouder Jin Qing Song feels!

""However, even if you've become a king, you're still my disciple; you must keep refining pills! If you don't do it well, I'll scold you just the same!

Jin Qing Song instructed.

""Of course! You are my master for life; this will never change!

Ye Liuyun also promised.

""Then you bring so many troops; you're not intending to be unfavorable to the Profound Heaven Sect, are you?

Seeing Ye Liuyun still respect him as master, Jin Qing Song directly voiced his concern.

""How could it be! I brought them here just to show everyone that I and the Profound Heaven Sect are one; anyone who dares to scheme against the Profound Heaven Sect is my enemy!

Ye Liuyun said in a pleasant tone.

Jin Qing Song couldn't react to all that at once, repeatedly praising Ye Liuyun for becoming king yet not forgetting his roots.

Most elders and sect disciples also shared Jin Qing Song's view.

So upon hearing Ye Liuyun's promise, they all became happy.

""Sect master! My disciple has merit, and the Holy Son's position is vacant; why not appoint my disciple as Holy Son?

Jin Qing Song also helped Ye Liuyun vie for it.

Yao Dong Lai, helpless, could only say: ""Please let Ye King come in to sit and talk; we can't keep standing at the gate chatting!

Thus, many elders surrounded Ye Liuyun and rushed to the Profound Heaven Sect's Grand Hall.

Along the way, many disciples also discussed animatedly, casting envious glances.

Several Holy Sons also were spreading rumors for Ye Liuyun, joining in the clamor to support Ye Liuyun as Holy Son!

Liu Xing stared wide-eyed: ""No wonder he's so formidable! Turns out he is Ye Liuyun! Ye Liuyun is Chen Feng!

He also secretly rejoiced, having saved his own life.

Previously, he himself had walked around the Ghost Gate Pass without even knowing it.

Yao Dong Lai, on the other hand, thought it was nothing.

Anyway, this fact can't be changed; since everyone supports Ye Liuyun as Holy Son, he simply went along with it.

Anyway, Ye Liuyun won't stay in the Profound Heaven Sect forever, nor will he abduct sect disciples like Murong Tian did.

Therefore, after entering the Grand Hall, Jin Qing Song again proposed making Ye Liuyun Holy Son, and he did not object.

Lu Yi, meanwhile, communicated with Elder Wither Glory, explaining the critical relationship, hoping he could speak up to intervene.

Elder Wither Glory, however, said: ""With so many people supporting, how can we stop it?

Isn't it obvious they want to get into a stalemate with him?

Anyway, Profound Heaven Sect is already tied to his boat, so let things take their natural course! As long as he doesn't harm the Profound Heaven Sect, I think it doesn't matter.

As for his plans to deal with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, we'll see when the time comes.

He might not even be able to pull it off!

Lu Yi, hearing that, also had no choice but to go along with everyone's opinion.

Thus Profound Heaven Sect immediately announced, conferring Ye Liuyun the title of First Holy Son of Profound Heaven Sect.

Ye Liuyun also immediately declared that he would henceforth share weal and woe with Profound Heaven Sect.

The news quickly reached the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance could not be certain whether the Eastern Dynasty's downfall had been prearranged by Profound Heaven Sect.

They also had no way to verify whether Murong Tian's death had been orchestrated by Profound Heaven Sect.

But Ye Liuyun killing Murong Tian and squeezing the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance's influence out of Profound Heaven Sect is certain.

However, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance cannot cause trouble for Ye Liuyun over this.

Because they had supported Profound Heaven Sect's reinforcement of the Eastern Dynasty, Murong Tian was also killed while attacking Ye Liuyun.

In other words, Ye Liuyun does not hold a grudge for their support of the Eastern Dynasty, has not settled scores with them, and continues to purchase supplies from them; they ought to consider themselves fortunate.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance never expected Ye Liuyun to dare designate them as his next target of action.

On Ye Liuyun's side, after binding Profound Heaven Sect to his war chariot, he did not linger, but immediately returned to the Royal City, summoned Lao Wei, and began with Lao Wei to tally the various resources they could now control.

If he wants to contend with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, Ye Liuyun's Spirit Cloud Business Association must be able to replace the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance's association.

At the very least, Ye Liuyun must be able to guarantee the supply of the resources the association needs.

Xuan Yuan Ling has by now arranged the Southern Region's business association, is hurrying toward Ye Liuyun here, preparing to cooperate with Ye Liuyun's next move, which is to expand the Spirit Cloud Business Association into the Eastern Dynasty.

Ye Liuyun also specially sent He Lian Xiu with troops to meet her, lest anything go awry along the way.

Xiao Yunfang at this moment is still leading troops to sweep everywhere, while Pei Yong follows her, rotating garrison duty from city to city.

Yu Xiaofeng is meanwhile training elite troops, while Ye Tiandao is leading the spearhead unit in intensive training.

Ye Liuyun also used a Transmission Talisman to briefly communicate with Feng Hong Xiu, intending to visit the Red Luan Pavilion headquarters to discuss greater cooperation.

"Why go to the headquarters?"

"Do you think I'm not qualified enough to talk with you?"

Feng Hong Xiu retorted.
