Chapter 7002: Certain?

The Undying Empress looked calm as she brought Ting Yue to the ancestral grounds of the Undying Realm.

"Will you regret it? Once you change your Bloodline to that of the Undying Race, there is no turning back," the Undying Empress said with a faint smile.

"I won't," Ting Yue shook her head decisively.

"Hehehe… Remember, after your sister is resurrected, she will also possess the Bloodline of the Undying Race. Don't blame me for not warning you."

"That is acceptable," Ting Yue nodded.

To resurrect Little Yueyue, she had decided to sacrifice everything.

Coming to the Undying Realm was, in itself, for the sake of resurrecting Little Yueyue.

As they spoke, Ting Yue arrived at the ancestral grounds and felt an unimaginable pressure.

"Accept the baptism," the Undying Empress said with a faint smile.

Afterward, Ting Yue entered the pool of water beneath the ancestral grounds.

Seven full days passed before Ting Yue left the ancestral grounds.

Besides that, she was holding the hand of a little girl.

This person was none other than Little Yueyue.

Under the empowerment of the ancestral grounds' power, Ting Yue had changed her own Bloodline and become a member of the Undying Race.

With the help of the ancestral grounds' power, she had successfully resurrected Little Yueyue.

"Hehehe… Ting Yue, from now on, you have officially become one of us in the Undying Realm," the Undying Empress nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Empress," Ting Yue nodded and bowed to the Undying Empress.

"Hahaha… No need for such formalities," the Undying Empress laughed from ear to ear.

"Alright, Ting Yue, you may take your sister and leave."

"Yes."

Ting Yue nodded and left, holding Little Yueyue's hand.

After they left, the Undying Empress walked into the ancestral grounds.

A heavy voice emanated from within the ancestral grounds.

"Can she hold Xiao Fan hostage?"

"I do not know," the Undying Empress shook her head and said calmly, "I am just testing it. If she can hold him hostage, that is for the best; if not, it does not matter."

"Ting Yue has great talent. With careful cultivation, she will reach the Emperor Tribulation Realm in no time."

"Very well."

A low, bitter laugh echoed from within the ancestral grounds.

Afterward, the ancestral grounds fell silent.

The Undying Empress shook her head with a bitter smile and turned to leave.

…

Soon, the hundred-year deadline arrived.

Xiao Fan had not arrived at the ancestral grounds of the Undying Realm.

This was both within and outside of expectations.

"Sister, is Xiao Fan not coming?" Little Yueyue asked curiously.

She had fully recovered and possessed the memories of the time she spent with Xiao Fan.

"I do not know," Ting Yue shook her head slightly.

If she had a choice, Ting Yue would not want Xiao Fan to come.

But being in the main city of the Undying Realm, there were many things she could not say.

After becoming a member of the Undying Race, the Undying Empress's surveillance of Ting Yue became less strict.

But she still could not leave the territory of the main city.

Xiao Zhen's confinement remained the same as before.

He was Xiao Fan's True Self Clone and was destined to have no freedom.

In fact, even Xiao Zhen did not know if Xiao Fan would actually come.

Of course.

Xiao Zhen was clear on one point.

That was, if Xiao Fan did not come, he and Ting Yue would certainly be safe.

But if Xiao Fan came, that would not necessarily be the case.

The Undying Holy Emperor intended to win Xiao Fan over or use him.

What the other party intended to do, neither Xiao Zhen nor Ting Yue knew.

Perhaps even the Undying Empress did not know; only the Undying Holy Emperor himself knew.

Therefore, if Xiao Fan did not come, fundamentally speaking, they were all safe.

Even the Undying Empress, the Undying Sword Maniac, and other experts in the Emperor Tribulation Realm thought the same.

But something unexpected to everyone happened.

Xiao Fan came to the main city of the Undying Realm all by himself.

The moment Xiao Fan stepped into the main city.

The Undying Empress, the Undying Sword Maniac, and the other experts in the Emperor Tribulation Realm were all stunned.

"Xiao Fan's aura?!"

"He came?!"

"Good lad! To think he actually dared to come under these circumstances?!"

"Xiao Fan really came?!"

"…"

The group of experts from the Undying Realm in the Emperor Tribulation Realm appeared at the entrance of the main city.

"Hehehe… Everyone, experts of the Emperor Tribulation Realm, why have you all come?"

Xiao Fan scanned his surroundings and cupped his hands in greeting toward the Undying Empress and the others.

"Xiao Fan has arrived as promised! Please inform the Undying Holy Emperor that I am here."

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, I really did not expect that you would actually dare to come," the Undying Empress crossed her arms and revealed a complex smile.

The others were the same, all revealing expressions of astonishment.

"It is fine. Mostly, I gave my word to the Undying Holy Emperor, and I trust his character. He certainly would not kill me, right?" Xiao Fan chuckled and said calmly.

"Hehehe… Are you so certain?"

"Of course."
