Chapter 498: Chapter 114: The Return Gift from the Great Yu Divine Dynasty_2
The elders instantly became agitated.

“Hell no, if you want to die, leave me out of it!”

This caused the Sky Shaking Saint to tremble, who promptly kicked the protesting Elder away.

Good god, this man really has a death wish!

As Sect Master, he knew far more than these Sect Elders.

The Saint Master of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty wasn’t to be trifled with, she was the younger sister of Ye Family head, a top-tier figure in the Ye Family.

If the Ye Family wanted to take over the Xuanyuan Universe, they didn’t need her to make a move.

With a cultivation level at the Saint-level, the Xuanyuan Universe would be completely defenseless.

Moreover, for the Sky Shaking Saint, this was an excellent opportunity to build a relationship with the Ye Family.

This elder actually dared to cause trouble. If it wasn’t for the many years he had followed him, the Sky Shaking Saint would’ve wanted to kill him.

However, concerning what kind of gift he should present, the Sky Shaking Saint was genuinely at a loss.

After all, before the emergence of the Ye Family, the Sky Shaking Saint was always on the receiving end of the gifts, never the one to give them.

“So, what would be a suitable gift for us to give?”

The Sky Shaking Saint had no other choice but to engage the gathering of Elders for a discussion.

Seeing the puzzled look in the Elders’ eyes, the Sky Shaking Saint disclosed Ye Xiaoxiao’s identity.

Then, only after rushing out to give the kicked-out elder another beating, did they start discussing what gift to present to the Great Yu Divine Dynasty!

Good god, their cultivation resources depended on the Ye Family now.

If they were to return to the days where even a peak Saint-level elixir had to be used sparingly, they wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Furthermore, during this time, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion belonging to Ye Family also opened in the Xuanyuan Universe.

The goodies inside were even more plentiful.

Although a lot of them currently couldn’t afford to purchase, it wouldn’t stop them from earning money diligently to buy in the future!

If the Sky Shaking Saint was blacklisted, where would they get resources for their breakthrough!

“Sect Master, I think…”

The elders started discussing enthusiastically about what gift to present!

Meanwhile, the other three top Sects shared the same thought as the Sky Shaking Holy Sect.

For the grand ceremony of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, they planned to participate with great pomp and splendor, bringing gifts along.

They were well aware that within the Xuanyuan Universe, several forces were likely wishing to see the Great Yu Divine Dynasty make a fool of themselves, something they would never allow to happen.

If it resulted in the Ye Family having a worse impression of the Xuanyuan Universe, it would spell a huge disaster.

If there were individuals within the Xuanyuan Universe daring enough to stir the pot, they would not hesitate to lend a hand to the Ye Family!

Before long, the grand ceremony of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty officially commenced.

Numerous forces hurried to the Holy City of Great Yu, eager to witness the actions of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

Among them, the alliance led by the God Tai Saint Sect was ready to act against the Great Yu Divine Dynasty at any moment.

Just then, a carriage drawn by Holy Beasts appeared from the horizon.

A series of glowing Holy patterns on the carriage—was it not the carriage of the Hanhai Saint Sect?

Moreover, it was being drawn by Holy Beasts, indicating a high-ranking figure within the Hanhai Saint Sect was present.

How could this be possible? A mere Divine Dynasty would hardly warrant a top figure from Hanhai Saint Sect to show up personally.

The next moment, a figure descended slowly to the ground from the carriage.

The Hanhai Saint?

A rather unsettling idea crept into the minds of cultivators including the God Tai Saint Sect, their hearts sinking immediately.

Not only did the Hanhai Saint Sect come, but its Sect Master also personally attended.

The act of landing their carriage at the entrance clearly suggested a peaceful intention.

It seemed like even the Hanhai Saint Sect Master carried himself in a rather humble manner.

*gulp*

The God Tai Saint swallowed, mouth dry as his heart pounded.

What on earth was the backstory of this Great Yu Divine Dynasty?

“On behalf of the Hanhai Saint Sect, I congratulate the Great Yu Divine Dynasty and present it with three pieces of Deep Sea Holy Iron.”

Deep Sea Holy Iron, a material used for the refinement of Great saint artifacts.

Three pieces of Holy Iron, each sufficient to refine three Great saint artifacts.

To build a relationship with Ye Fan, the Hanhai Saint Sect had indeed dug deep into their coffers.

Upon hearing the announcement, most of the cultivators wondered if they’d misheard.

But as soon as they saw the figure of Hanhai Saint, they were instantly dumbstruck.

They had come to attend the grand ceremony of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty with no goodwill, let alone gifts.

Now the Hanhai Saint Sect had not only attended the grand ceremony of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty but also brought substantial gifts. How could they not bring anything?

A chill instantly covered their whole bodies.

This time, it seemed they had made a grave mistake.

Damn!

The heads of each sect glanced at each other, thinking there might still be time to rectify the situation.

The grand ceremony hadn’t officially started yet, there was still time.

Just then, a unique scene unfolded within the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

Powerful cultivators were frantically running towards the exterior of the city, as if some terrifying entity was chasing them.

Before they could escape, a carriage arrived.

“The Holy Sect of Hanhai is here to present their gifts to the Great Yu Divine Dynasty…”

…

Four announcements were made, representing four top-tier Saint Sects.

These announcements shattered the fleeting hope in the hearts of others.

The four leading Saint Sects were jointly resisting the Saint Alliance in the Connecting Heaven Realm, but they weren’t really on good terms with each other privately.

For the Great Yu Divine Dynasty to get all four sects to attend at the same time, it wasn’t simply due to good relations.

It must have been because the Great Yu Divine Dynasty possessed a power that the four great sects dared not offend, hence they treated it as such.

Members of the God Tai Saint Sect alliance were trembling in fear, realizing the gravity of the force they had dared to provoke.

“None of you mentioned our plan, right?”

The God Tai Saint, with a glimmer of hope, asked his allies.

“No!”

“No!”

Several Saints assured him at once, saying they had absolutely not leaked anything.

The God Tai Saint let out a sigh of relief, at least, there was still some hope.

But they failed to notice the glint in the eyes of one of the Saints.

“Let’s go, let’s go back.”

The Saints turned and began to walk away from the Holy City.

Just as they had not gone far, suddenly, several powerful auras locked onto them.

Each one was a peak-level Saint.

A series of attacks rained down on them relentlessly.

Several Saints in the later phase were immediately killed before they could even react!

“Dare to target the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, you deserve to die!”

These Saints were not from the Ye Family, but instead had been brought together by several large Saint Alliances.

They had broken through to the peak Saint stage thanks to the elixirs provided by the Ye Family.

Hearing that there were forces in the Xuanyuan Universe daring to target the Ye Family, these Saints eagerly offered their help.

Within the Holy City, the heads of the four great Saint Sects exchanged glances, their attention then shifted to the figure of the Wanhai Saint.

This old guy, already having the best relationship with the Ye family, was seemingly the first to arrive at the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

But his obsequious behavior was quite unbearable!

Caution flared in the hearts of the three, the close relationship between Wanhai and the Ye Family did not happen by chance.

Wanhai was without a doubt their biggest threat.

From now on, they needed to be even more active and hardworking.

At least, they could not be slower than Wanhai!

Wanhai looked at them, a trace of disdain sparkling in his eyes.

You lot even dream of comparing yourselves to me? Far from it!

Soon, a large number of prominent individuals once again poured into the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

This time, they did not come empty-handed, instead, they brought the most precious treasures from their clans.

No matter what power was behind the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, it was an entity they dared not provoke.

The Great Yu Divine Dynasty might forget cultivators who provided gifts, but they might remember those who didn’t.

So even if it hurt, they had to do it.

In a festive atmosphere, the grand ceremony of the Yu Divine Dynasty began smoothly.

Ye Xiaoxiao treated the forces of the Xuanyuan Universe the same as those in the Pangu Universe. Give offerings, receive protection.

The portions of offerings were all within the means of these sects.

There was no other way, if Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to improve quickly, he had to boost the strength of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

Claiming various lands was inevitable.

Although there might be some dissatisfaction among these forces, eventually, they chose to accept it.

Then, when everyone was leaving, they all received return gifts from the Great Yu Divine Dynasty!
