[Initially, the elders were quite skeptical.]
[But as time went on, some curious ones began to imitate Ye Yu's actions.]
[They too disguised themselves and sought companionship.]
[After spending some time together, they would reveal their identities. Seeing the shocked expressions of their partners, they couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.]
[Hmm, this feeling seems wonderful.]
[One had to admit, the Sect Master knew how to play the game!]
[Afterwards, more and more elders began seeking companions for pure, innocent romance.]
[And they specifically chose lower-level female cultivators from external sects, aiming to shock and awe.]
[After some time, many Sect Masters from various demonic sects were on the verge of collapse.]
[Was this Mystic Yin Sect's new method of recruitment?]
[More and more female cultivators tearfully left their sects, saying they were seeking true love.]
[Even the pleas of their masters kneeling before them couldn't stop them.]
[Using emotions to recruit people, this method was truly despicable!]
[Many demonic sect masters gathered together to discuss condemning Mystic Yin Sect.]
[But they were instantly silenced, remembering the recent annihilation of the upper echelons of Celestial Secrets Sect.]
[They had no courage to face Ye Yu.]
[That night, this hastily formed alliance fell apart.]
[If the method is despicable, so be it, as long as they're only recruiting female cultivators and not male cultivators.]
[Whatever!]
[On the other hand, Ye Yu obtained crucial information from Lan Lianyan.]
[That the six major orthodox sects were preparing to launch a joint attack on Mystic Yin Sect.]
[Regardless of whether Ye Yu was truly the Lord of the Demonic Path, Mystic Yin Sect had to be completely wiped out from the East Sea Continent.]
[Otherwise, no one could guarantee they wouldn't become the next Celestial Secrets Sect.]
[Flower Spirit Mountain was also involved.]
[The higher-ups relayed the message that when the total assault on Mystic Yin Sect was launched, Lan Lianyan and Ye Yu only needed to carry out their internal tasks.]
[Upon hearing this information, Ye Yu felt no fear whatsoever.]
[He had long awaited this day.]
[Some things inevitably had to come out in the open to be dealt with once and for all.]
[However, at this moment, Ye Yu recalled the second sentence left by the first generation Sect Master of Celestial Secrets Sect.]
["The demon has a nemesis, the nemesis is in the north, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, success and failure are a thought apart."]
[Who is this nemesis in the north?]
[And since it's a nemesis, why talk about fortune and misfortune intertwined?]
[Even now, Ye Yu couldn't understand this question.]
[Beside him, Lan Lianyan touched Ye Yu's heart with her finger.]
[This action was extremely dangerous for any cultivator. A slight mishap could lead to severe injury or death.]
[Yet Ye Yu remained unusually calm at this moment. He had no worries whatsoever.]
[Perhaps deep down, he believed that Lan Lianyan wouldn't harm him, let alone kill him.]
[If it comes to a fight, don't intervene recklessly. It's better to stay by my side. I will protect you.]
[Hearing Lan Lianyan's words, Ye Yu was deeply moved.]
[Cracks began to appear in the cemented seal around his heart.]
[When a cute girl sweetly says she wants to protect you, this kind of emotional impact, surely no man can resist it.]
[However, Lan Lianyan's next words caused the cement loosening in Ye Yu's heart to solidify once again:]
[After all, someone as good as you to eat with is really hard to find.]
[So, is your vigorous protectiveness only for your eating partner?]
[Lan Lianyan, is eating the only thing in your heart?]
[Ye Yu left angrily, declaring that he didn't have much appetite today and wouldn't eat!]
[Was it really because he was in a bad mood?]
[As he stepped out of the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Yu's expression became solemn or perhaps troubled.]
[While the righteous cultivators were besieging the Mystic Yin Sect, perhaps his identity would no longer remain hidden.]
[At that time, would Lan Lianyan still speak such naive words?]
[Ye Yu knew the answer very well in his heart.]
[But he had been avoiding facing it.]
[However, there was one thing Ye Yu was always firm about.]
[That this time in the dream, he wouldn't be soft-hearted again, vowing to see how one ascends to become an immortal!]
[Three days later.]
[After a brief hiatus, Ye Yu found no trace of righteous cultivators near the Mystic Yin Sect.]
[This made him very curious.]
[What happened to the promised siege? Why hadn't it come yet?]
[Helpless, Ye Yu came to the Treasure Pavilion with plenty of delicious food again.]
[But at this moment, Lan Lianyan informed Ye Yu that their action might need to be postponed for a while.]
[This surprised Ye Yu greatly.]
[He hurriedly asked what was going on.]
[It turned out that just yesterday, Lan Lianyan had received information from Flower Spirit Mountain.]
[A demonic cultivator had arrived from the Southern Barbarian Continent.]
[His strength was extraordinary, and his methods were ruthless.]
[He had just arrived and wiped out the second-rate sect, Burning Blossom Pavilion.]
[After that, he continued his rampage, killing many well-known cultivators in succession.]
[This fierce dragon crossing the river attracted everyone's attention.]
[To prevent more righteous cultivators from being harmed, many sects decided to join forces to eliminate this demonic cultivator first.]
[After all, compared to this, Ye Yu's threat was much smaller.]
[In nearly a century, he had only slaughtered Celestial Secrets Sect and done nothing else.]
[Upon hearing this, Ye Yu felt very strange.]
[Was he being considered the lesser evil?]
[Anyway, for now, the situation seemed to have calmed down, with the orthodox sects preparing to deal with this demonic cultivator from the Southern Barbarian Continent first.]
[As for Mystic Yin Sect's affairs, they would probably have to be put on hold.]
[Hmm, their attention is really not focused.]
[But Ye Yu suddenly felt happy, sweeping away the gloom in his heart from before.]
[He said to let Lan Lianyan eat more, and if it wasn't enough, he would bring more tomorrow.]
[But it was precisely this sentence that made Lan Lianyan stop in her tracks.]
[Very seriously, she told Ye Yu, Don't just think about providing food. You should focus on serious matters.]
[Since she became Ye Yu's new contact, Ye Yu hadn't provided any useful information.]
[Every time Mystic Yin Sect needed information, Lan Lianyan simply wrote "none," which really stressed her out.]
[After expressing her inner frustration, Lan Lianyan angrily took two more bites of exquisite pastries.]
[After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu immediately provided some information about the elders of Mystic Yin Sect to Lan Lianyan.]
[Although it was trivial, it would suffice for now to appease Flower Spirit Mountain.]
[As dusk fell, when Ye Yu returned to the main hall of Mystic Yin Sect, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.]
["Brother Yu."]
