The Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God received Shi Yanâs message. They flew around to avoid the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to return to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan didnât ask them what they did. Right when they returned, he immediately put them into the Blood Vein Ring.
The Dead Soul Mountain range now filled with big dangers. If he were careless for a moment, he would never recover. Shi Yan understood well that he was carrying a lot of treasures with him, which would make him a big target. Thus, he needed to leave this place of troubles as soon as possible.
However, as soon as he had retrieved those strange living beings, and hadnât even departed yet, his mind suddenly felt agitated, and his face changed dramatically.
A tremendous strange energy fluctuation shot toward him rapidly, that left him no time to react.
Shi Yan shivered. He was about to use the secret technique to get away underground. However, right at the moment, a dark energy cloud snatched down, covering him.
A tall but thin figure appeared. His pupils reflected no light, which gave people a feeling of being cold.
The Master of the Devil Valley, Nie Ruo.
The gloomy energy cloud was like seawater enveloping him. The power of his entire body was restrained. No matter how hard he tried to urge his power, he couldnât move his Essence Qi.
His negative energy wasnât suppressed, but he didnât dare to act rashly. He looked at the man with a calm face, âWho are you? Why have you restrained me?â
âA strand of your Soul Consciousness had appeared in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. Were you sensing us?â Nie Ruoâs face was cold. âYour Soul Consciousness is a bit eccentric. If I didnât have a special tool, I could never find you here. Kid, where are you from? Why did you sneak on us? What do you want?â
His Soul Consciousness had space power, which he had used to flee away instantly from the valley.
This man could track him down using only one beam of Soul Consciousness. He didnât shame his formidable existence at the True God Realm.
âI meant no harm. You guys created a big move, so I just wanted to check it out.â Shi Yan pretended to be innocent. âDid my Soul Consciousness sensing disturb you?â
Nie Ruo curled his lips, cracking a dark, cold smile. âWell, I just think that you should be an interesting kid. Even I canât send my Soul conscious through ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye like that. You have only the Sky Realm cultivation base, but you can do that, which astounded me a lot.â
Shi Yan knitted his brows as his thought flickered quickly. He beamed a wry smile, âThen, what do you want?â
âI want nothing. I just want to know your identity,â grinned Nie Ruo. âYouâre a stranger. You donât look like the disciple of the seven ancient factions. Otherwise, I should have known you. Besides the seven factions, the ones who could raise you should be those recluses. Whoâs your teacher?â
âCan I not answer that?â
âSure you can,â Nie Ruo grinned fiendishly. âBut I will enter your Sea of Consciousness and search the information in your host soul. It shouldnât be a hard task, you know. But then, your host soul will be a little bit annoyed. You donât want that, do you?â
This man was a True God Realm expert. Intruding Shi Yanâs host soul was as easy as flipping his hand. If he did that, although Shi Yan could use the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to harm him, he couldnât escape.
Plus, if this man knew the secret of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, he would never let him go.
Shi Yan suddenly felt helpless. His strength and realm were much behind this man. Even if he used all the secret tricks he had, he couldnât threaten the other, except giving him a chance to see what he got.
Then, he would never have a decent ending.
Nie Rue wasnât hurried. He just grinned, looking at Shi Yan with cold eyes as if he werenât afraid that the young man would do something sneaky.
Shi Yanâs brain was working quickly to find the way out. However, facing a monster at the True God Realm, he found that no trick could work.
âOh, youâre here. too.â
At this moment, another voice came. Yun Hao, the Master of the Radiant God Cult, appeared in a twisted scorching light.
Shi Yan felt his heart sinking. His headache swelled bigger.
It was alright with one monster, but now he had another one. He was going crazy this time. Shi Yan felt a big regret in his heart. He blamed himself for being too slow, which helped these tremendous existences find him.
âYun Hao, why are you here?â Nie Ruo snorted. âYou can find us here, which means you know that this kid was sneaking on us too, eh?â
âHeâs one of my cultâs members. Iâm coming to ask him to return to the sect.â The Radiant God Cult Master smiled generously. âWell, Lie Feng was defeated, so you felt that your face was blemished. Are you here to take action personally?â
âLie FengâŚâ Nie Ruo was stunned. A streak of light crossed his eyes. He said with a colder tone, âYou are that Shi Yan!â
When Feng Biao reported on the dead soulâs operation, he also remarked the battle between Shi Yan, Hao Hai, Chang Ge, and Lie Feng, which frightened Nie Ruo. He had a deep impression with the name Shi Yan, and had memorized it.
He didnât know that the man in front of his eyes was Shi Yan. Having heard Yun Hao mention the event, Nie Ruo remembered immediately. He couldnât help but snort, âTurns out itâs you!â
Shi Yan wore a bitter face, not knowing what to say.
He didnât know why Nie Ruo came here or why Yun Hao, the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, had paid attention to him. Shi Yan felt that he hadnât done anything, but then why had he drawn many monsters here without reason?
Especially the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, he exposed Shi Yanâs identity which meant he seemed to know him. This made him more anxious.
When he had stayed in the Ice Emperor City, Bai Ge Seng and the others had advised him carefully not to show up himself in front of Yun Hao, no matter what.
He always kept it in mind. He went to the Dead Soul Mountain range because he wanted to avoid Yun Hao.
Although he had many calculations, he now recognized he was wrong. Eventually, Yun Hao still laid an eye on him.
âHeâs my Radiant God Cultâs member,â Yun Hao smiled, looking at Nie Ruo. He didnât talk much, but his intention of protecting the young man was obvious.
Everybody knew that Yun Hao liked to cover his menâs shortcomings and characteristics. If he talked that way, he would definitely poke his nose in this matter. If Nie Ruo wanted to take action, he had to finish Yun Hao first.
As they were all the peak warriors of the seven ancient factions in Divine Great Land, Nie Ruo knew how tremendous Yun Hao was. He looked at Shi Yan with a dark look, taking a deep breath, âTell me, is it as what you said?â
âShi Yan, come here. Show him your Star power,â Yun Hao smiled while his eyes squinted.
Shi Yan kept silent, but he had a big headache now with the worry.
The thing he was afraid of the most was to use the Star Martial Spirit in front of Yun Hao. He was wary of revealing something. He didnât think that what he was afraid would come to him. Right when Yun Hao came, he asked him to use the Star Martial Spirit. He would be over this time.
âLook at his hesitant look. Itâs obvious that he doesnât know anything. Master Yun Hao, do you really think that your pretense can make me step back?â said Nie Ruo coldly.
The Radiant God Cult Master was surprised, too. He started to doubt the information that Feng Biao had sent him. Releasing a bit of the Star power was easy. What made this kid find things too difficult?
Shi Yan pondered, then made up his mind miserably. His face was as if he was attending a funeral. He carefully urged the Star Martial Spirit, revealing a beam of starlight.
Yun Hao cracked a big smile, talking to Nie Rue. âDid you see that? The star power couldnât be faked, right? Have you lost your hope yet?â
Nie Rue paled as he nodded, then didnât say anything. He disappeared shortly.
Once Nie Rue left, the smile on Yun Haoâs face disappeared. He didnât say anything, but storming toward Shi Yan and forcefully put his hand on Shi Yanâs shoulder.
A flow of torrential energy started to pour rumblingly around Shi Yan, storming into his heart which was full of starlight.
Yun Haoâs look became bizarre. He sensed quietly but he seemed to be more stunned as time went by.
Shi Yan got struck as he thought it wasnât good at all.
Anyhow, Yun Hao was the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult. He had mastered using the power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Using the star power in front of him, no matter how careful Shi Yan was, he couldnât hide things from the old manâs eyes.
Normal people couldnât see the feeble flaming energy in his Star Martial Spirit, but how could Yun Hao not recognize it?
âStar power fused with flaming sun power. Not bad. Not bad at all. You surprise people a lot. Youâve widened my vision.â After Yun Hao finished his sensing, he retreated his arm, his face musing. He looked at Shi Yan with eyes as bright as the torch while smiling. âWithout the secrets of the God Sect, how could you fuse the power of the star and the flaming sun?â
Shi Yan felt as if he had a full stomach of bitter water. Closing his eyes, he said âI donât know what had happened, it just turned that way. Luck⌠It was just my luck.â
âIâm doomed. Yun Hao will kill me shortly. God damn it. So unfortunate!â Shi Yan cursed under his breath. He knew he couldnât hide things any longer, talking with a cold visage. âIt has turned out this way. What do you want me to do?â
âWhat to doâŚâ Yun Haoâs smile hid a deep meaning. âAlright. Follow me to the Radiant God Cult. Our sect needs men with big guts like you. After weâre done with the ceremonies, you will be a member of the God Sect. The future master of the God Sect could be you, perhaps.â
Shi Yan was struck by surprise, looking at him disbelievingly.
He still thought that Yun Hao would never let him live. He had estimated the worst case, but things had turned differently.

Yun Haoâs move was far beyond his estimation.
âWhat? You thought that I would kill you?â Yun Hao was stunned. âAm I that narrow-minded? You have just combined the sun power, but you donât know the technique. What should I worry about?â
âFuture?â Yun Hao curled his lips. âWho knows how the future will be? Iâve reached the Second Sky of True God Realm, but I canât see the future. Can you? Perhaps the Radiant God Cult wonât exist in the future. As the master, I will disappear altogether with it. Why should I worry about the future?â
