Though he said he didn't care, news quickly spread the same day—"True Martial Dao Jun" Qing Yu had defeated Pei Dongliu. This news, spread deliberately, soon became known throughout the world.

The news of Pei Dongliu's defeat couldn't be concealed. Their battle affected many, and soon after, the Yin Yang Sword confronted the Netherworld Palace's extreme move, with great grandeur, witnessed by many.

Since this is the case, let's first come up with another title to bestow upon Qing Yu. Then Qing Yu used wisdom from another world—water army.

As the news spread, the name "True Martial Dao Jun" inexplicably emerged and became widely known through the promotion of countless water armies.

However, people in the worldly society seem to have an obsession with "The World's Number One," valuing this title greatly. A name like the first beneath the Heavenly List, full of irony, is more accepted by people in the worldly society. After all, everyone has a degree of jealousy.

Just like Pei Dongliu, whose original title was "King of Battle," but after receiving the title "The World's Number One," fewer and fewer people called him "King of Battle."

So even if a large wave of water armies was arranged to spread it around, "True Martial Dao Jun" and "The World's Number One" could be said to be evenly matched, half and half.

However, this result is quite good. Even someone like Qing Yu, who doesn't care about false fame (really doesn't care), wouldn't want to hear people calling out as soon as he steps out, "Look, that's 'The World's Number One' Master Qingyu!"

Compared to that, something simple and sincere like "Demon Path" was better.

It was on the third day after the great battle between Qing Yu and Pei Dongliu that a man and a woman, along with a young child, arrived near the Zhenwu Sect by carriage.

The closer they got to the direction of the Zhenwu Sect, the more barren the land became, until at last, the view was nothing but dry and cracked wasteland.

Excessive extraction of Earth Qi caused this area to be barren, and if left unattended, it might even become desert in a few years.

However, in the center of this wasteland stood the Zhenwu Seven Peaks, like an immortal realm in the human world.

The over-extracted Earth Qi was all drawn from the surrounding areas, yet the place where the Zhenwu Sect is located was completely unaffected. Instead, it benefited from the nourishing remaining Earth Qi, increasing the Primordial Energy concentration around the Seven Peaks by more than twenty percent compared to before.

"Changing the landscape, such a great power, even with the aid of an Array, is beyond the capability of us in the Divinity Realm." Lian Feihong opened the carriage window, looked at the desolate scenery outside, and exclaimed.

She is the mainstay of the Lian Family, having long broken through to the Divinity Realm, asking herself if she could fight any in the Divinity Realm with the assistance of her husband Lian Lin. But facing Qing Yu, who caused such a terrifying scene, Lian Feihong asked herself entirely unattainable.

"That's precisely why we came here as a couple, isn't it?" Her husband Lian Lin said with a smile.

"I hope your proposal isn't wrong." Lian Feihong snorted.

The tall and burly Lian Lin, whose strength was not as good as Lian Feihong's, and his temperament was also not as strong as hers, even during intercourse he would be the one lying underneath, yet he had an intelligence that didn't match his rough appearance.

Though the Lian Family has always been managed by Lian Feihong, Lian Lin's opinions are more revered. If it weren't for Lian Lin's softer temperament, the Lian Family would have had issues long ago.

"For the Lian Family to survive peacefully in this chaotic world, the protection of a powerful force is essential. Master Qingyu appears inconspicuous, but he possesses profound power and influence. Moreover, when he spoke back then, you were present. The Lian Family only needs to do what we have always done, and there is no need for us to become vassals.

During this period, Hou Qian's side also ceased targeting the Lian Family, allowing the family members to live in peace; Master Qingyu has shown enough sincerity." Lian Lin said.

Qing Yu seems more like a buyer trading with the Lian Family and doesn't intend to make the Lian Family completely submissive. Just for this reason alone, Lian Feihong was moved. Lian Lin was aware of this, hence proactively suggested cooperation with Qing Yu.

"I know, what you say makes sense," Lian Feihong lightly rolled her eyes, "If it works out, when we return, I'll let you be on top for a month."

"Hey, Chen'er is still here!" Lian Lin hurriedly covered the ears of a powder-carved jade-like little girl beside him.

This trip to the Zhenwu Sect was to establish an agreement with Master Qingyu. The Lian Family would serve the Zhenwu Sect, and likewise, the Zhenwu Sect would cultivate the offspring of Lian Feihong and Lian Lin. Of course, there were also some elements of being a hostage.

"Chen'er is still young, how could she possibly understand."

Lian Feihong said, lightly moving her index finger, as True Qi formed a snow-white silk thread, flicked at the two strong horses pulling the carriage. The gentle flick, however, had the force not inferior to a whip, causing the two horses to accelerate towards the Zhenwu Seven Peaks.

After moving forward for several more moments, the carriage entered the domain of the Zhenwu Seven Peaks, and the surrounding scenery presented a huge reversal.

It was as if there was an invisible boundary separating the Zhenwu Sect from other surrounding regions, defining the line between the immortal realm and wasteland.

Stepping into the range of the Zhenwu Sect was like stepping into another world entirely.

Meanwhile, at the mountain gate of the Zhenwu Sect, two Daoists had already been waiting for the arrival of the Lian family.

"Disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, by the order of the Sect Leader, welcome the Patriarch Lian and Mr. Lian, please!" said the leading middle-aged Daoist, cupping his hands.

························

Under Xuanfeng's guidance, who welcomed the three Lian Family members, they traveled while admiring the picturesque scenery of the Zhenwu Seven Peaks and arrived in front of the Taiji Palace on Chonghe Peak.

"Sect Leader, Patriarch Lian, and Mr. Lian have arrived." Xuanfeng announced from outside the hall.

Inside the Taiji Palace, Qing Yu and Xuanzhen finished their cultivation, put away the Heavenly Crystal, and said, "Please let Patriarch Lian and Mr. Lian come in."

The voice seemed to sound beside them, gentle and calming, giving them a feeling of a spring breeze.

Lian Feihong and the other two followed Xuanfeng into the Taiji Palace, where they saw a white mist slowly dissipating inside the hall. The ethereal Cloud Qi appeared to possess an unusual spirituality, avoiding the four of them, revealing the white-haired Taoist and female crown standing side by side in the hall.

"Patriarch Lian, Mr. Lian, it's been a while." Qing Yu slightly waved his sleeves, causing the White Cloud Smoke to dissipate more quickly, and with a smile, he said to the three of the Lian Family.

"This must be your daughter Qingchen, right? She has an innate spiritual presence, making her a good candidate for cultivation." Qing Yu looked at the timid little girl hiding behind Lian Lin, gave a slight laugh, and praised.

"This is our daughter Lian Qingchen; we have to trouble Master to look after her in the future." Lian Feihong led the small girl's hand forward, saying.

"Of course," Qing Yu said, "My uncle master Xuanzhen will personally admit her to the sect. From now on, she'll be my junior sister."

"Qingchen," Xuanzhen smiled gently, looking at the little girl, "It's just right that your generation is also of the character Qing, from now on, you shall be called 'Qingchen.'"

"Chen'er, quickly pay respects to your master." Lian Feihong slightly bent down, whispering in her daughter's ear.

Even though it was a bit of a pity not to be able to take Master Qingyu as a teacher, becoming a disciple of Master Xuanzhen was still good. Based on Lian Feihong's experience, she judged that Xuanzhen and Qing Yu had a deep relationship, perhaps being her apprentice could have greater benefits.
