Hai Hua walked over, she had a respectful but distant demeanor towards Ye Fan, yet she knew that only Ye Fan could save Mingyuan Sect now. In a probing tone, she said, "Young Hero Ye, since you were invited by our disciple, I wonder if you could help drive away the thieves from Tianjue Sect?"

Ye Fan replied, "Why should I help you?"

"Of course, we are not offering this without conditions. As long as Young Hero Ye can repel the Tianjue Sect people, all the magical artifacts and personnel in Mingyuan Sect can be at your disposal," Hai Hua said. She produced a golden token from her hand and handed it to Ye Fan, "This is the Master Token of our Mingyuan Sect, now entrusted to Young Hero Ye. From now on, Mingyuan Sect belongs to you, and it may also help you achieve great accomplishments."

Wu Ding, who was examining Elder Wu's injuries, chuckled, "Your Mingyuan Sect sure knows how to pick people. Knowing my junior brother's power, you're willing to offer even your mountain gate. Who can guarantee you won't go back on your word?"

"In that case, I won't hide it from you," Hai Hua said. "This token holds a great secret of Mingyuan Sect and controls the lives of over six hundred disciples. If Young Master crushes this item, in an instant, no matter where they are, Mingyuan Sect disciples cannot escape their fate."

"Ah?" Upon hearing Hai Hua's words, the surrounding disciples of Mingyuan Sect looked shocked. They had been in Mingyuan Sect for years and had never heard of such a thing.

Hai Hua continued, "Each disciple, upon entering the sect, would receive the first Cultivation Technique through this item, which is the source of their original Spiritual Energy. This is also the cultivation method of Mingyuan Sect. Once this item is gone, there will be no more Spiritual Energy for Mingyuan Sect disciples; death will be the only path!"

Wu Ding walked over and said, "Let me see."

For caution, Wu Ding carefully examined the token, frowned, and said, "There is indeed a very peculiar power inside, resembling the Pure Yang Spiritual Energy my junior brother possesses, and it's very strong. However, there seems to be another type of Spiritual Energy hidden deep within... Junior brother, do you think we should break it?"

"Senior, that is not possible," Hai Hua exclaimed in shock. She had just explained that the lives of all disciples in Mingyuan Sect were controlled by this small token, and now Wu Ding wanted to destroy it, which would mean leaving Mingyuan Sect with nowhere to hide their dead bodies.

Li Bei stepped over and said, "She's right. The matter of Mingyuan Sect having the Sacred Longevity Token is an ancient secret passed down, known only by the Sect Masters of major sects. This is one of the mountain gate secrets, but since the token can only be broken by someone at Nascent Soul Stage or above, for most cultivators on Earth, even knowing the method to destroy Mingyuan Sect, they still wouldn't be able to do it with the token."

"How much more are you hiding from us?" Ye Fan asked coldly.

"This... there are some things that need to be explained gradually, but the Sacred Longevity Token has another hidden secret. However, this secret has long been lost, and even the Mingyuan Sect Master may not know it," Li Bei said, eyeing Hai Hua.

Hai Hua shook her head and said, "I only know that if the Sacred Longevity Token ceases to exist, all disciples of Mingyuan Sect will have their lives returned to fate's end immediately. Once it's destroyed, what other secrets matter?"

"I am not interested in the secret within," Ye Fan said, "but I will accept this item with gratitude. Additionally, after I finish, I will still request something from you."

Hai Hua asked, "What?"

Ye Fan did not say it, but what he truly wanted was the third protector bell of the Tongling Mirror. Han Qing'er said the bell was in Mingyuan Sect, but now it seemed unreliable. This was not the time to dwell on it. As for the small Tianjue Sect, he didn't even take them seriously.

"Junior brother, go with Min girl. I'll stay to protect Senior Brother Qing Wu and your Zhao Jun. Huh? When did Min girl get hurt?" This was when Wu Ding noticed Min Shang's injuries. "Injured by Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, was it you, junior brother?"

"I'll explain this to senior sister later. Min girl, you should stay too. I will be back shortly."

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he summoned his magic sword, ready to leave, but Min Shang came over and said, "Use mine."

Her jade hand offered a magic sword, precisely the "Fire Dragon Sword" she had lent to Ye Fan in the Grand Hall of Royal Extreme Sect. Ye Fan shook his head and said, "This is yours. I can't use it."

"It's fine. I am willing to give it to you," Min Shang said with firm determination. "I only have a brief time of Pure Yang constitution in my body. It can't unleash its maximum power in my hands. You are the true master of the Fire Dragon Sword. You must return safely."

Unintentionally, Min Shang understood human emotions and attachment, much like a girl sending her lover off to war, hoping for his early return.

At that moment, Min Shang's expression contained no impurities, and Ye Fan was momentarily lost in confusion.

When he came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Shang."

Ye Fan took the magic sword in his hand and then went over to say goodbye to Li Zhaojun, but Li Zhaojun held his hand and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need. With senior sister and Shang here, I can be more at ease. Don't worry, the disciples of Tianjue Sect are not worthy opponents for me."

This time, Ye Fan did not linger any longer and directly rose and flew away. Though he didn't know the structure of the underground main hall, he could use his Spiritual Sense to perceive the surrounding terrain. From a small Spiritual Energy outlet, he could map the entire underground environment in his mind and accurately find an exit.

"I didn't expect the difference between the early and mid Nascent Soul stages to be this great," Ye Fan thought, "It feels as if the world is under my Spiritual Sense's control. No wonder all cultivators exhaust their power to pursue higher realms..."

Now, Ye Fan could fly quickly and safely without needing to ride the magic sword. Although the underground main hall was several kilometers deep, this distance was merely a blink of an eye for him, and soon he arrived at the Mingyuan Sect mountain gate at the bottom of Zhongnan Mountain pool.

"Who?"

In the vast cave, over a hundred disciples of Tianjue Sect were there, staring in surprise at Ye Fan, who could fly with a flaming magic sword in hand. Among them, those who could fly using a magic sword were rare, and one would need at least Nascent Soul Stage cultivation to fly freely, but none of them had reached that level.

"A powerful enemy has arrived, form the array!"

The greatest reliance of Tianjue Sect was their Array.

A formation of more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage disciples could rival a Golden Core Stage expert.

But Ye Fan's strength far exceeded their imagination, even if they all formed an array, for Ye Fan, it was only a matter of one sword stroke.

"I won't kill," Ye Fan's imposing voice echoed throughout the scene, "but if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. Get out!"

"You brat, daring to oppose Tianjue Sect, you have a death wish, attack!" The people of Tianjue Sect, confident in their numbers, thought they could surely capture Ye Fan, but they quickly discovered a problem. The enormous Spiritual Energy net formed around Ye Fan already suffocated them, let alone compared to him.

They didn't even have a chance to exchange blows, let alone talk of winning or losing?
