Tang Yi Feng wasn’t after fame or money. In the past, the Crimson Blood Sect didn’t have any disciples, so he could live reclusively. He could choose whether he wanted to come to Grand Sky City.

However, it was different now. To ensure that the Sect’s disciples had a better future, he had to come to this place despite his unwillingness.

Looking at the Sect Master who had appeared out of nowhere, Lu Ye no longer felt lost. He became at ease instantly.

Just now, he was thinking that the disciples of other Sects had their fellow disciples and Seniors in Grand Sky City, whereas he was the only one from the Crimson Blood Sect here. Much to his surprise, the Sect Master showed up all of a sudden.

“I’m going to meet up with some old friends. Lu Ye, since you’re more familiar with Grand Sky City than Palace Master Pang, bring her to the Ministry of Recruitment for registration.”

“Sure,” Lu Ye replied. He and Pang Huanyin then respectfully watched the Sect Master leave.

“This way, Palace Master Pang.” Lu Ye extended his hand.

Pang Huanyin glanced at him. “You’re still so formal with me, Senior Brother. I’m the Palace Master in Purple Star Palace, but I’m only a Junior Sister in front of you. If you keep calling me Palace Master, it sounds like we’re merely acquaintances.”

“Junior Sister Pang, then?” Lu Ye obliged as he was in a good mood.

“That’s more like it.” Pang Huanyin put on a faint smile. “It’d be better if you could remove the word Pang.”

“Why do you want to join Bing Zhou Watch, Junior Sister? Have you settled everything at the Palace?”

“You can say so. It’s thanks to you that I could come to Jiu Zhou. Elder Tang and Senior Sister Shui Yuan have helped me a lot as well. However, since I’m new here, there are many things I have to figure out. I’ve ascended to the Real Lake Realm, so I’ve decided to join Bing Zhou Watch and learn more about it for the Sect’s disciples. They’ll have to come here in the future anyway.”

Lu Ye shared the same sentiment. In the future, many Crimson Blood Sect’s disciples would be coming to Bing Zhou Watch. As such, he had to work hard and build a foundation for the Juniors.

As a trailblazer, he had to get rid of the obstacles and build a safe environment for the Juniors.

Now, Purple Star Palace could be considered a subsidiary of the Crimson Blood Sect, and both Sects were located in Mount Ao. If they joined Bing Zhou Watch together, they could take care of each other. It could be said that their future was bright.

As the two of them conversed with each other, they soon arrived at the Ministry of Recruitment. It so happened that Le Shan was on duty. He could be considered a friend of Lu Ye. In that case, the process would be smoother.

When he saw Lu Ye coming with a clean-cut, beautiful woman, he winked at him, seemingly trying to imply something.

Lu Ye simply ignored him. When Pang Huanyin introduced her background, Le Shan was surprised. “You’re from the Peerless Continent?”

Since he was also in Bing Zhou, he had heard that Purple Star Palace of the Peerless Continent was a subsidiary of the Crimson Blood Sect. When the Palace was established in Mount Ao several months ago, it became the talk of the town. However, Le Shan had only heard about it. He had never seen cultivators from the Peerless Continent. Now, it seemed that they weren’t so different from Jiu Zhou cultivators.

Considering Pang Huanyin’s identity, Le Shan put on a straight face and stopped teasing Lu Ye. Although he was more powerful than Pang Huanyin and Lu Ye, he had to show some respect to the woman because she was a Palace Master.

After her name was registered, she had to place her Battlefield Imprint on the Battle Point Disc. Unsurprisingly, the disc showed a white glow, implying that she had never earned any battle points in the past.

It was to be expected. After all, it had only been months since she arrived in Jiu Zhou, and she had spent most of her time dealing with the affairs in the Palace. There wasn’t a chance for her to earn battle points.

After leaving the Ministry of Recruitment, Pang Huanyin fiddled with her military token with a curious expression. But soon, she lost interest as the military token wasn’t fun to play with.

“Junior Sister, since you’re part of Bing Zhou Watch now, I’m sure the Sect Master will decide which Pass you will go to. You just have to wait.”

It was the benefit of having someone in power. When Tang Yi Feng wasn’t around in the past, a new member of Bing Zhou Watch couldn’t decide where he would go. After all, Bing Zhou Watch was a massive organisation with many branches. New members would be sent to places where manpower was lacking.

However, it was different now with Tang Yi Feng around. As a member of the Elder Council, he had the right to decide where new members would go. Although he had many enemies, he also had a lot of friends. Connections still mattered in a world where cultivation was everything.

“Alright.” Pang Huanyin nodded and looked up at the Sun. “It’s still very early now. Why don’t you show me around?”

“Sure.” Lu Ye directly agreed to it. He didn’t have anything else to do anyway. Nevertheless, he wasn’t familiar with Grand Sky City, so he could only take a stroll with Pang Huanyin.

Naturally, Pang Huanyin was pleased. When she was in the Peerless Continent back then, she had never seen a city as huge as this. Ever since she arrived in Jiu Zhou, she had been staying in Mount Ao. As such, she had only heard about the affairs in Jiu Zhou.

It wasn’t until she left Mount Ao with Tang Yi Feng that her horizons were broadened. In comparison, Jiu Zhou was vastly different from the Peerless Continent where she was born. If Grand Sky City was compared to Jiu Zhou, the Peerless Continent was like a small village they had come across while on their way here.

It was a big world, and she had a bright future ahead of her. At that moment, she was truly grateful for what Lu Ye had done for her. If not for the fact that Lu Ye and the others had destroyed the Corpse Race, the people of the Peerless Continent would still have been suffering day after day. Perhaps there would no longer be a place for Humans in the Peerless Continent one day, and all of them would end up dying.

Although the sky was turning dark, Pang Huanyin was still energetic. Suddenly, Lu Ye received a message from the Sect Master. He took a look and led Pang Huanyin to a place.

Soon enough, they arrived at a courtyard and landed on the ground. Tang Yi Feng stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Since his back was against them, he appeared mysterious.

“Sect Master.” The two of them saluted him.

“Is everything settled?” asked Tang Yi Feng.

“Yes. Palace Master Pang is part of the Zhou Watch now. As for where she’ll go, you’ll have to make a decision, Sect Master,” Lu Ye said.

Tang Yi Feng hummed and replied, “There’s no rush. I’ll make an arrangement in a few days. You two can stay here for the next few days.”

This was supposed to be Tang Yi Feng’s residence in Grand Sky City. Members of the Elder Council enjoyed much better perks than the other members of Bing Zhou Watch. Although Lu Ye was a captain, he didn’t have a residence in Grand Sky City. Usually, he would look for an empty room and get some rest.

On the other hand, as a member of the Elder Council, Tang Yi Feng had a right to have his own residence. When they came to Grand Sky City in the future, they would have a place to stay.

“Thanks, Sect Master. I’ll go and get some rest now,” Pang Huanyin said and went to look for a room. She could tell that Tang Yi Feng needed to talk to Lu Ye.

“Come with me, Lu Ye,” Tang Yi Feng said and entered the room in the middle. Lu Ye hurriedly followed him. Soon, the two of them were seated.

Yi Yi emerged from Amber’s body and saluted Tang Yi Feng. “Greetings, Sect Master.”

She was the disciple of Tang Yi Feng as she had learned all her spells from him. Unlike Lu Ye, she had spent more time with the Sect Master, so she was closer to him.

“Alright.” Tang Yi Feng helped her up.

When Yi Yi lifted her head, she was astonished. “What happened to you, Sect Master?”

Lu Ye was shocked as well. It wasn’t until now that he saw an anomaly. There seemed to be a bruise on the Sect Master’s right eye. The traces showed that he had been punched with a fist.

[Didn’t he say he was meeting up with some old friends? What happened?] Lu Ye thought.

Tang Yi Feng was a Divine Ocean Realm Master with an incredible restorative power, but he was still left with a bruise, which went to show how forceful the attack was.

It was no wonder that the Sect Master’s back was against them earlier. He didn’t want Pang Huanyin to see the bruise on his face so that he could retain his authority.

Tang Yi Feng laughed and ran his fingers through his beard. “I’m fine. It had been a long time since I last met with the old friends, so the conversation got a little heated.”

Lu Ye felt his eyelids twitching while Yi Yi appeared speechless. They felt that the conversation was a little too heated.

“Let’s stop talking about it.” Tang Yi Feng waved his hand. “Shui Yuan told me about what had happened to you here. It must’ve been tough for you.” He sighed.

With a solemn expression, Lu Ye replied, “I’m fine, Sect Master. I’ve been doing well.”

“Because of the Sect’s downfall and some past events, I was crestfallen. Fortunately, all of you have been working hard to restore the Sect’s glory. Don’t worry. Since I’m in Grand Sky City now, you can come up to me if anything happens. I’ll stand up for you.”

Upon hearing that, Lu Ye felt more confident. Then, Tang Yi Feng changed the topic. “I heard from Shui Yuan that you want to join the Ministry of Laws.”

“Yes. Madam Nian Yuexian is going on a long retreat, so other Divine Ocean Realm Masters are going to take over Blue Flame Mountain Pass. Before her departure, she had talked to me about it, which was why I decided to join the Ministry of Laws. I’ve already met the Commander and reported for duty.”

“Qian Wudang is the Commander of the Ministry of Laws. Although he has no connections with our Sect, he is a trustworthy person. There won’t be a problem for you to work for him. However, the members of the Ministry of Laws have to go out there and expose themselves to risk most of the time. You have to think it through.”

“I understand.”

Tang Yi Feng nodded. “I’m sure I don’t have to worry about you.”

“By the way, how is my Honoured Master?” Lu Ye asked.

“Your Honoured Master…” Tang Yi Feng froze while running his fingers through his beard. The muscles beneath his eyes could be seen twitching. It was as though he had recalled some unpleasant memories. “She’s fine. Don’t worry about her.”

Then, he fished out a Storage Bag and passed it to Lu Ye. “Your Honoured Master told me to give it to you.”

Lu Ye took the bag and opened it before looking elated. “Is it repaired successfully?”

The thing inside the Storage Bag was none other than the Dragon Throne, which he had brought back from Soaring Dragon Boundary.

The item was badly damaged previously. After Lu Ye returned from Soaring Dragon Boundary, he asked Yun Xuechu to help repair it. After a long time, the item was finally repaired.

Tang Yi Feng shook his head. “It’s not fully repaired. Your Honoured Master said that this item is of extremely fine quality. No one in Jiu Zhou is able to repair it. She could only do some basic repairs. Although you can’t fully activate its power, it’ll still be of great help to you. You’ll have to find out the secrets inside it yourself. Also, your Honoured Master said that you can make use of an external power, but you can’t rely on it. Cultivation is the most important to any cultivator. You can’t be overly dependent on external powers.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”
