"Master... No, Old Man Yuanyi is currently outside the Pagoda Forest, standing guard for me and keeping the cultivators guarding the pagoda in check," Ye Chen said.
"So that's how it is. To think that after 3,000 years, this bunch of sanctimonious Daoists from the Qinglan Sect still foolishly wishes to seal me forever. Truly laughable and utterly ignorant!" The voice inside the pagoda grew irate.
"Yes... These fools! Foster Father will slaughter them all sooner or later!" Ye Chen clenched his jaw, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Enough, enough. Let's not speak of these ants. Child, did you find the Qinglan Divine Sword in the Sword Tomb that I asked you to retrieve?" the voice inside the pagoda asked.
"This..." Sweat poured down Ye Chen like rain as he quickly said, "I've disappointed you, Foster Father. I didn't find the sword, but I did obtain..."
He was about to mention the Moon Princess but suddenly remembered her request for secrecy and quickly swallowed his words!
