The Immortal Alliance was an organization jointly created by the five great sacred lands of Kunlun, Zijincheng, Baiyujing, Penglai, and Shushan in the distant past.
With the great era's resurgence, the Immortal Alliance initially saw the reincarnation of immortal cultivators, and then the revival of top martial arts geniuses, establishing itself as a colossus.
After the collapse of the King-sealing system and the Sword-bearer system, the Immortal Alliance's power was also used to suppress the borders of the Dragon Kingdom.
Now, five years into the war between the righteous and demonic factions, it had finally reached its peak.
Except for the supreme Ancestor-level experts, both sides had committed almost all their forces.
Ye Tiannan, under the guise of visiting his child, returned to Shushan for a respite, and then rightfully applied to have Qin Yourou, a true disciple of Kunlun, transferred to his team.
Only those within the Immortal Alliance knew how terrifying its strength and foundation were.
After the great era's resurgence, the sacred lands absorbed spiritual energy, allowing even the Ancestors who could ascend to the immortal realm to revive.
Ye Tiannan was merely at the third level of the Venerable realm, comparable to immortal cultivators in the Void Returning stage. Above the Void Returning stage were the Dao Integration, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana stages…
If his attempt to escape the Immortal Alliance's affairs were exposed, he would not be able to fly out of Shushan and would die at the hands of his own people within the Immortal Alliance.
However, he had impeccable origins. Although not from the Shushan sacred land, he was a direct disciple of the Shushan sect during the dormant era, and he possessed an innate Sword Body. Otherwise, he would not have been given a large amount of resources for cultivation, nor would it have been so easy to transfer Qin Yourou to his team.
His current concern was whether Qin Yourou's identity had been deduced… this true disciple of Kunlun had a close relationship with the current leader of the Demonic Dao's True Demonic Sect, Lord Qianyang.
"Husband, I'm ready," Wang Jieguang, also dressed in the Kunlun true disciple attire, said to Ye Tiannan, who had his back to her, as she led a young boy out of the residence.
"Mm," Ye Tiannan replied, "Wait a moment longer. Qin Yourou, who is being transferred, seems to be arriving soon as well."
Wang Jieguang knew, but she still showed a hint of confusion, "Qin Yourou? Isn't she my junior sister?"
Within the Immortal Alliance, immortal cultivators with high cultivation were on duty, constantly scanning with their divine senses to prevent demonic cultivators from invading the heartland.
In other words, Ye Tiannan and the others were being monitored at all times.
Ye Tiannan calmly said, "With the current all-out war between the righteous and demonic factions, the front lines are strained, and manpower is insufficient. Disciples from different sacred lands are to be reasonably assigned to form small teams."
"As for your husband..."
"Swish!"
A streak of green light flew from afar and stabilized, revealing Qin Yourou's figure.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Ye, greetings, Senior Sister Wang," Qin Yourou said, cupping her fists in a respectful manner.
To prevent the plan from being revealed, Qin Yourou still did not know the truth.
Even Ye Tiannan and Wang Jieguang had been in hiding for several years. It was only in recent days, when the news of the five great sacred lands intending to kill the Yan Emperor shook the world, and coupled with the spreading news of the True Demonic Sect leader fighting against four peerless great powers single-handedly without falling behind, that the righteous-demonic war reached its climax, giving Ye Tiannan an opportunity.
Ye Tiannan said, "Since Junior Nephew Qin has arrived, let us set off for the front lines."
Qin Yourou was Chen Jiuyang's woman. By rights, she was of the same generation as Ye Tiannan. However, within the Immortal Alliance, status and position were determined by cultivation and combat power.
Qin Yourou's talent was truly extraordinary. After being taken away by Kunlun for only a few years, without many additional fortuitous encounters, she cultivated from a mortal to the Nascent Soul stage, and was even able to endure harsh environments like the Dream Realm.
Immediately, two small swords in Ye Tiannan's palm enlarged, emitting a gentle sword aura, capable of carrying five or six people.
Ye Tiannan calculated with his fingers, "The time is now perfect for departure. Let's go."
Taking Wang Jieguang, the child, and Qin Yourou, they rode their swords, transforming into streaks of light, departing from Shushan and heading towards Feng Province.
With Ye Tiannan's current cultivation and strength, traveling a thousand miles a day by sword was not difficult.
While flying with the group, about half an hour before entering the territory of Feng Province, the Immortal Alliance jade pendants on Ye Tiannan, Wang Jieguang, and Qin Yourou all vibrated, as if someone was sending a message.
Ye Tiannan immediately frowned and transmitted his divine sense, "No need to pay attention."
Wang Jieguang replied, "Husband, there is someone behind us."
Ye Tiannan's heart suddenly tightened inexplicably, and he said, "Don't worry about it."
Then, he urged the true qi and true liquid within his body, causing the speed of the flying sword to instantly reach fifteen hundred miles a day.
His sword was already very fast.
But the streak of light behind him was faster than him.
This made Ye Tiannan's expression darken, and Wang Jieguang's heart also tightened.
Among the younger generation, there was no one who could be faster than Ye Tiannan in sword techniques and movement.
However, the person coming was even faster than Ye Tiannan on their sword, which could only mean they were not from this era!
"Hahaha!" A hearty laugh suddenly arrived. A somewhat disheveled middle-aged man flew on his sword in front of Ye Tiannan and his group, blocking their path.
Seeing this, Ye Tiannan had no choice but to stop and cupped his fists, "May I ask which Uncle-Master of the Immortal Alliance is teasing a junior?"
Everyone in the world used swords, but the best swordsmen were from the Shushan sacred land.
Shushan searched for sword geniuses in every era.
"The innate Sword Body of our Immortal Alliance is indeed extraordinary. With a root bone less than fifty, you can advance to the third level of the Venerable realm through the sword. Give you a few hundred more years, and you will surely become a great Sword Venerable," the disheveled middle-aged man said to Ye Tiannan with a smile.
Ye Tiannan cupped his fists, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me."
"I am the Three-Ragged Daoist. I just sent you a message, why did you ignore it?" the Three-Ragged Daoist stared at Ye Tiannan.
Ye Tiannan replied, "Uncle-Master, this disciple has been recuperating at home for a long time. Now that the manpower has been mobilized, I must obey the Immortal Alliance's order and head to the front lines of the righteous-demonic war. I cannot delay for a moment."
The Three-Ragged Daoist said, "I understand. But why are you bringing your wife and child with you?"
Ye Tiannan said, "Reporting to Uncle-Master, my wife is skilled in medical arts and formation assistance. How could I not bring such a virtuous wife by my side?"
"As for the child, the demonic path is currently corrupting people's hearts and polluting the world. I am bringing my child with me so he can witness the wickedness of the demonic path."
Wang Jieguang's heart was hanging by a thread. Anyone Ye Tiannan called Uncle-Master must have at least the cultivation of the Dao Integration stage in the immortal path, or be at the half-step Emperor realm in the martial path.
"Mm, very good, very good," the Three-Ragged Daoist nodded slowly. "In that case, you may go."
Qin Yourou had no idea about the inside story, nor did she know the danger ahead. She quietly watched the scene, thinking it was just an Immortal Alliance expert playing a prank on them and didn't take it to heart.
Ye Tiannan cupped his fists towards the Three-Ragged Daoist, then urged his flying sword again and flew towards Feng Province.
Wang Jieguang, still shaken, could only silently recite a calming mantra to steady herself.
Just as Ye Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief, the Three-Ragged Daoist, who made his hair stand on end and caused him to feel uneasy, once again transformed into a stream of light and blocked their path.
"Junior Nephew Ye, you should still take your wife and child back to Shushan."
