Chapter 669 Persuasion

In the Forbidden Realm, at the central Domain Lord city of the Fa Tian Domain.

As a jade pendant placed on the table flashed with a gleam of light, Fa Tian Daoist opened his eyes, somewhat astonished.

"Interesting, I never thought my Brother would come looking for me one day,"

Although Wu Tian Daoist was his Brother, ever since that incident back then, their relationship had deteriorated sharply. To be precise, this was their first contact in a hundred thousand years.

Although his tone was full of teasing, Fa Tian Daoist quickly picked up the jade pendant.

However, after understanding the matter within, Fa Tian Daoist's expression immediately turned grave.

"Breaking through to the eighth level within ten thousand years is indeed a promising seedling. In comparison, the Desolate Daoist on my side seems somewhat inferior."

"Well, since my Brother has come to me, his elder Brother, for once, how could I possibly refuse?"

Fa Tian Daoist shook his head, and with a thought, he sent out the message. Such a trivial matter wasn't worth him taking action personally. Besides, over the years, he had eliminated quite a few Geniuses; killing one more wouldn't be an issue.

After all, he was the Domain Lord—who would dare seek revenge against him?

Meanwhile, as Fa Tian Daoist's message spread, before long, all the forbidden powerhouses working for the Domain Lord in the Domain Lord city received the news. Each of them seemed eager, as this was a great opportunity to curry favor with the Domain Lord.

In a certain Grotto-heaven within the Domain Lord city, a figure was Cultivating. However, upon receiving Fa Tian Daoist's message, he immediately opened his eyes, his expression turning extremely grave.

"To think they've set their sights on Yi Dao?"

"No, I must think of a way; otherwise, Yi Dao will likely be exposed."

With that, Wu Yifan stood up and walked outside. Before long, he arrived before the Grotto-heaven where the Domain Lord resided.

Standing outside the Grotto-heaven, Wu Yifan clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Domain Lord, your subordinate requests an audience."

As Wu Yifan's words fell, the Restriction of the Grotto-heaven was soon opened, and Fa Tian Daoist's voice came from within.

"Enter."

After receiving Fa Tian Daoist's permission, Wu Yifan hurriedly entered.

Soon, Wu Yifan stood before Fa Tian Daoist. It must be said that although Wu Yifan had now broken through to the tenth level of Perfection, he still felt an overwhelming pressure standing before Fa Tian Daoist.

Of course, this was under the premise that Wu Yifan hadn't revealed his Divine Realm power.

Sensing Wu Yifan's presence before him, Fa Tian Daoist didn't look up, still busy with his own affairs, and said, "What brings you to me?"

"Domain Lord, perhaps the matter regarding Yi Dao Daoist could be reconsidered."

Wu Yifan spoke without hesitation. Wu Yidao was his Cousin, so no matter what, he had to protect Wu Yidao.

Hearing the name Yi Dao Daoist, Fa Tian Daoist finally looked up, his gaze toward Wu Yifan carrying a hint of amusement, and said, "Oh? Why? Give me a reasonable explanation."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yifan pondered for a moment before giving his answer: "Yi Dao Daoist's talent is terrifying. He broke through to the eighth level within ten thousand years. If we bring him under your command, Domain Lord, he will surely yield great rewards in the future."

"Moreover, for this youth to break through to the eighth level in ten thousand years, he must possess something extraordinary. If we fail to eliminate him and he escapes, it could lead to disaster. So, why not turn an enemy into a friend and bring him under our command for our own use?"

Hearing Wu Yifan's words, Fa Tian Daoist's expression gradually turned grave. Clearly, Wu Yifan had struck a chord with him. However, this alone wasn't enough to make him change his order. At most, he would take action personally—he didn't believe that a great power like himself at the twelfth level of Perfection couldn't handle a mere eighth level Early Stage.

What truly made him reconsider was Wu Yifan's next sentence.

"Besides, Domain Lord, do you really think such a terrifying Prodigy could emerge from our remote backwater? Couldn't he be from outside, coming to our Fa Tian Domain for training? From what I know, many Prodigies have recently come to our Fa Tian Domain for training."

Wu Yifan said with an extremely grave expression, his tone implying something more.

As Wu Yifan's words fell, the surrounding atmosphere fell into silence. After a long while, Fa Tian Daoist finally spoke, looking at Wu Yifan with an extremely serious expression: "You make a good point. In that case, we'll hold off on eliminating him for now. You go first to investigate his background and, if necessary, bring him under my command."

And this was exactly what Wu Yifan wanted. Without another word, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Domain Lord."

During his time in the Forbidden Realm, Wu Yifan had learned many things. The most important was that to display terrifying talent, one needed a powerful backer for protection; otherwise, death would be the only outcome.

So, after discovering his immense talent in Cultivating the forbidden, Wu Yifan didn't hesitate to pledge allegiance to the Domain Lord. Of course, this was merely the most powerful existence he could reach for now. In the future, when he grew stronger, he would need to find an even more powerful backer.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

"Mm, you may go."

Fa Tian Daoist waved his hand, dismissing Wu Yifan.

After Wu Yifan left, Fa Tian Daoist's expression turned extremely grave, and he muttered to himself, "Many Prodigies have come to the Fa Tian Domain for training recently? Why, as the Domain Lord, don't I know about this? No, I must investigate."

What Wu Yifan didn't expect was that the story he fabricated to protect Wu Yidao turned out to be true—many Prodigies had indeed come from outside to train in the Fa Tian Domain.

After leaving the Domain Lord, Wu Yifan returned to his Grotto-heaven, gathered his things, and then headed toward the Starfall Sect where Wu Yidao was located.

In fact, for Wu Yifan, who was in the Domain Lord Realm, obtaining news about his Brother and Cousin was all too easy. So, he naturally knew where the Starfall Sect was and the Realm of its strongest members. Even if the entire Starfall Sect combined, they wouldn't be a match for him. Thus, Wu Yifan had no fear—he just charged ahead.

Meanwhile, in the Starfall Sect, Wu Yidao was unaware that his Brother Wu Yifan was coming for him. At the moment, he faced a dilemma: a Forbidden Territory was about to open, and with his Cultivation, he could enter it. So, should he enter that Forbidden Territory or not?
