Dealing with the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong, all at once was no simple task. Not to mention that each of them possessed profound cultivation; if they were to unite, even two Ye Huans would struggle to withstand their combined assault.
Understanding the might of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong, Ye Huan had initially thought that if there were any formations or mechanisms within Yuxu Palace, it would be wise to use those to eliminate the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors in one fell swoop. However, while Ye Huan had indeed found a formation, he never imagined that Yu Wuxia would not know how to control the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation. This made the prospect of defeating the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors seem rather tricky.
"By the way, Elder Yu, can you help me come up with a plan to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors? After all, it was you who asked me to accompany you to activate the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation. Now that it's been activated, you say you don't have the method to control it. Isn't that just setting me up for failure?"
Taking advantage of Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling being lost in the joy of Brotherhood and not nearby, Ye Huan hurriedly sought advice from Elder Yu. Unbeknownst to him, perhaps due to being misled by Yu Wuxia, as he spoke, his frustration grew, and his tone lost some respect.
Not minding Ye Huan's accusatory tone, Yu Wuxia was aware that this was all his fault. However, acknowledging his mistake did not provide him with a solution for annihilating the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector in such a short time.
Putting on an apologetic smile, Yu Wuxia thought that old tricks still worked well. Since he had no plan anyway, he decided to make a quick exit. As he walked away, he said to Ye Huan, "Um... Ye Huan... I just remembered I have something else to attend to. How about this: put aside the matter of annihilating the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector for now. I'll notify you as soon as I have an idea..."
As Yu Wuxia's figure gradually faded into the distance, by the time Ye Huan heard him say "notify you," Yu Wuxia had already vanished without a trace. If it weren't for Ye Huan having just spoken with this old fellow, she might have thought Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling would never realize that Yu Wuxia had slipped away mid-conversation. This left Ye Huan feeling an overwhelming urge to curse.
"Hey? Ye Huan, why does your face look so distressed?"
Before Ye Huan could recover from Yu Wuxia's abrupt departure, Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling approached her after completing their Brotherhood ceremony. Zhao Ziyu immediately noticed that something seemed off with Ye Huan's expression and hurriedly asked her about it.
"It's nothing. Have you finished your Brotherhood?"
Shaking her head vigorously to dispel the troubling thoughts from her mind, Ye Huan responded while also glancing at the bloodied hands of the two girls. However, upon closer inspection, she suddenly realized that Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling's hands bore no signs of injury whatsoever.
"Right, look at my brain; I even forgot that a Cultivator's wounds can heal automatically."
In front of Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling, Ye Huan slapped his forehead and quickly recalled the reason why the scars on the two women's hands had disappeared. It was simply because a Cultivator's physique was too robust, allowing minor injuries to heal swiftly on their own.
"Of course, Brotherhood is over. Ye Huan, I want you to help me with something."
Ignoring Ye Huan's earlier gesture, Zhao Ziyu was grappling with a dilemma of her own, and she wanted Ye Huan to help her resolve it.
"Just say it. Given our relationship, I can help you with anything."
Confident that there was nothing he couldn't handle, Ye Huan felt it necessary to display a manly demeanor in front of the women. Besides verbally agreeing, he was almost ready to thump his chest in assurance.
"Alright, you said it."
A sly smile crept onto Zhao Ziyu's handsome face as if she had anticipated Ye Huan's agreement. After following up on his words, she continued, "You see, since Jin Ling and I have become sworn sisters, I want her to stay with me and not return to the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector."
"Oh, so it's just this small matter? Wait... what did you just say about not returning to the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector?"
Instinctively nodding, Ye Huan initially thought Zhao Ziyu was merely suggesting that Jin Ling stay for a while due to their sisterly bond. To his surprise, Zhao Ziyu straightforwardly proposed that Jin Ling never return to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors.
His expression turned somewhat strange. Ye Huan could honestly say that due to the sisterhood between Jin Ling and Zhao Ziyu, it was indeed inappropriate for her to return to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors. However, this was ultimately a matter between Jin Ling and the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors. At present, Ye Huan had no idea how to deal with the Ten Protectors all at once; how could he possibly make a decision for Jin Ling to keep her at Yuxu Palace?
Bringing back thoughts of completely eliminating the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors from the corners of his mind, Ye Huan pondered carefully before finally shaking his head apologetically at Zhao Ziyu. However, when it came to saying that Jin Ling must leave, Ye Huan knew he couldn't bring himself to utter such harsh words that would tarnish his manly demeanor—especially since he had just nodded in agreement.
"Ye Huan, why are you shaking your head? Don't tell me you have no solution at all?"
Knowing that Ye Huan had previously made a deal with Jin Ling to capture Song Zhong, one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Zhao Ziyu felt quite frustrated by Ye Huan's disagreement. In her anger, she even stomped her foot in front of Ye Huan.
"How about this? Let Jin Ling stay at Yuxu Palace for a day. Give me some time, and I promise I'll get back to you, okay?"
With no other way to persuade Zhao Ziyu, Ye Huan had a sudden idea to buy some time. This tactic was something Yu Wuxia had just demonstrated to Ye Huan moments ago.
"Alright... it seems we have no choice but to do it this way. However, Ye Huan, you must promise me that you will give me an answer before tomorrow. I don't want Sister Jin Ling to return to those bad people at the Heavenly Dragon Sect."
Since Water Moon Palace had been destroyed by Gu Long, Zhao Ziyu held no goodwill towards the Heavenly Dragon Sect. But for the sake of Ye Huan and her sect, Yuxu Palace, Zhao Ziyu still gave Ye Huan some leeway. Even Jin Ling remained silent, clearly intending to follow Zhao Ziyu's arrangements. However, this meant that Ye Huan seemed compelled to come up with a plan to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector quickly...
