After the huge fight, the nine of them were not celebrating, but instead recuperating.

Led by Yang Wenlan and Yun Mo, Wu Yu came to stand before the members of the Ancient Ink Camp.

The purple-haired man, Xu Zidong, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wu Yu. He sized him up and snorted, "Little Sister, you brought a lover? Seems a bit young."

Laughter.

Yang Wenlan rolled her eyes. "Piss off. This kid is called Wu Yu. He saw our battle and followed us over. He says he’s from Great Ancient Ink Realm, and was drawn to us. Of course, I dare not confirm this, so I ask you brothers to test him."

Yun Mo said, "It might not mean much. Maybe he’s just an immortal who passed through the Great Ancient Ink Realm. Knowing a lot doesn’t count for much."

This guy instantly disliked Wu Yu. It was obvious that he was the youngest here, and was probably doted on.

"Oh? Kin from the Great Ancient Ink Realm?"

They felt that this was quite a surprise. After all, the sky palaces were huge, and many could not even be bothered to remember which mortal domain they had come from. Only this bunch of nostalgic people would remember where they had come from.

Xu Zidong stood up and walked over to Wu Yu. He looked him over carefully and smiled. "A Xuan immortal dares to come here, how bold. Very well, let this brother test you. My brothers, listen well. Let’s see if this kid is from our hometown."

Wu Yu nodded.

He was not worried in the slightest. No matter what they asked, he would know. Besides, they had left the Great Ancient Ink Realm too long ago, so they did not even know the Great Ancient Ink Realm as well as Wu Yu did.

Besides, there had been many changes in the Great Ancient Ink Realm in this time. The immortal lords here were already far removed from the sect they had once created.

Xu Zidong asked a dozen questions that were all rather obscure. One who had only spent a short time in Great Ancient Ink Realm might not know them.

After he finished questioning, Xu Zidong was all smiles. He turned to the others. "Through my questioning, I think all of you have come to the same conclusion. I think there is no doubt about it. Those that think he is from our hometown, raise your hand."

Wu Yu also looked at the other eight.

Yang Wenlan laughed. "Is there any doubt? Welcome to our cocky little brother, who dares to come to Sublime Gracious Sky while at the Nine Xuan Dao Realm! Haha!"

historical

She raised a hand very easily.

And then the ice-cold sword immortal, Qin Chuan. He raised his hand, saying, "I’ve taken quite a liking to this guy."

Everyone judged for themselves, and raised their hands one after another. Wu Yu could totally lie his way around. He needed these powerful immortal lords by his side. Firstly, he could seek refuge from the assassin of the Immortal Slayer Palace. Secondly, compared to him buzzing around like a headless housefly, now he was closer to obtaining an Immortal King Token. After all, they might also be waiting for a chance to get an Immortal King Token.

They might even already have the tokens.

In the end, only the youngest, Yun Mo, objected. He shook his head and did not raise his hand. "I think we should not believe the word of one person so easily. After all, this is the Sublime Gracious Sky, and there are dangers aplenty. Who knows what motives he has...."

Yang Wenlan said, "Enough from you." She threw Yun Mo a look.

But Yun Mo did not understand. He was unhappy and went to a corner to sulk.

The 7-realm immortal lord Xu Zidong took up his seat again. He surveyed Wu Yu with great interest. "And what are your intentions in seeking us out? Speak freely. We are open people."

Wu Yu looked at them and said, "Then I’ll speak honestly. Actually, I just came to the Sublime Gracious Sky to watch the fun. I wanted to experience the intense atmosphere here, to see if it was as others have said. But I regretted it after arriving. This place is just too dangerous. Many people even think that I have an Immortal King Token. The exits of the Well of Eternal Life are basically all jammed up, and it’s hard to leave.

"Back then, I fled to Benevolent Immortal City, almost losing my life. Right now, even within the city, I can only hide here at the 10,000 Immortals Battlefield. I intended to hide until the Great Void Immortal Path opened, and leave when the dangers outside were gone. However, I was fortunate enough to see all of you fighting just now. I heard of the ancestors’ names in the legends, and came excitedly to pay my respects."

Wu Yu gave an arrested laugh. "In truth, I obviously hope that the ancestors can bring me along. That way, I would not need to fear losing my life. But I am just too weak, and I am afraid I would be a burden to you. Therefore, if the ancestors find it inappropriate, then I will just remain here at the 10,000 Immortals Battlefield."

"Hahahaha, I see. I have to say, you’re a plucky one. At your cultivation level, coming to Benevolent Immortal City alone through the Well of Eternal Life and not being assassinated is a miracle in itself." Xu Zidong laughed.

Yang Wenlan said, "He’s our descendant after all. Polite and sincere, I quite like him. Seniors, how about letting him come along? I want to ask him more as well, about how the Great Ancient Ink Realm has turned out."

The main thing was that Wu Yu’s cultivation level was too low. He was just a xuan immortal, and looked like no threat. Besides, immortals not from the Great Ancient Ink Realm would not know it to this extent. They could more or less confirm that Wu Yu came from the Great Ancient Ink Realm, and therefore their defenses were dropped even further.

Ye Yi said, "No trouble. Come along, then. Our squad is strong. It’s all good."

Qing Yuli lifted her head slightly, regarding Wu Yu with glowing eyes. "This guy gives me a good feeling as well. Humble and respectful, and straightforward. Not bad."

They had quite a good impression of Wu Yu. Wu Yu could also see that this bunch of people were candid and had good relationships. Such a big group of brothers and sisters was to be envied.

The group more or less consented to Wu Yu following along for the moment. Yun Mo was anxious, and leaped out of his corner, "Brothers and sisters, think this through carefully! I think it is not right. This is a crucial moment. Who knows what he is up to! It’s better we don’t rock the boat. Wait for the Great Void Immortal Path to begin...."

Saying this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Silence within the hall.

Wu Yu saw their faces turn rigid, and a jolt of understanding passed through him.

Yun Mo had said don’t rock the boat, wait for the Great Void Immortal Path to begin.

Who would say such a thing?

The answer was, someone with an Immortal King Token.

Yun Mo was the only 4-realm immortal lord here, and considered the weakest and youngest. If even he was waiting for the Great Void Immortal Path to open, that meant that perhaps all of them had Immortal King Tokens!

Nine Immortal King Tokens!

This was a huge number!

If word of this got out, it would represent a huge danger to them.

After all, there were too many people who wanted Immortal King Tokens.

Yun Mo, in his haste to chase Wu Yu away, had inadvertently blurted out their secret.

Wu Yu could only smile wryly. With this, they would not even let him leave if he wanted to.

Some might even decide that killing him was the best way to keep the secret. But they merely looked resigned and did not seem to consider this.

From this, Wu Yu could tell that they were of decent character.

There was no use hiding it. Addressing the elephant in the room would be the only way to earn their respect. Wu Yu hurriedly said, "Seniors, please do not worry. I will not speak about it. Seems like Senior Yun Mo also wants me to stay here. I will follow, and all of you can keep an eye on me."

Xu Zidong

"Wu Yu, you know what you can and cannot say, right?" Xu Zidong confirmed.

Wu Yu nodded. "I understand the current situation. Please do not worry. I only wanted to come and borrow your strength. I did not expect it to turn out this way. All I can do is ask for your trust. I know that it is already an incredible blessing that you have not killed me. Wu Yu will remember this."

His attitude was very sincere, and he did not feign ignorance of Yun Mo’s slip either.

They thought this over, and finally Xu Zidong said, "Here in the 10,000 Immortals Battlefield, although we can win some trinkets, it calls attention to us. Let us return to the Ancient Ink Residence and bide our time there. Before the Great Void Immortal Path opens, we shall not leave."

Everyone agreed.

"Wu Yu, in the remaining 20 years, you can only come with us."

Wu Yu smiled. "With all of you protecting me, I can ask for no more."

Wu Yu knew that they must have discussed killing him. After all, they had no way to fully trust Wu Yu. But they had not done him in, which showed that they were merciful people. They were not that savage, although Yun Mo’s killing intent was all too apparent.

"Let’s go."

They left 10,000 Immortals Battlefield.

All along the way, Yun Mo was watching Wu Yu, as though afraid that Wu Yu would use Immortal Message Talismans to inform others.

Of course, even so, they would be fine once they hid in the Ancient Ink Residence.

The Ancient Ink Residence was a place that they had rented in Benevolent Immortal City for a considerable sum of money. It was protected by many immortal designs and was a relatively safe place.

After returning to the Ancient Ink Residence, they activated the immortal designs and had someone stand guard at all times. The immortal designs had many layers, and there was one that completely shut out Immortal Message Talismans. Once inside, it was impossible to send messages out.

Once back here, they were much more at ease.

"Wu Yu, I’m warning you! If you have any bad intentions, I will be the first one to make you pay!" Yun Mo threatened him.

"Senior Yun Mo, please do not worry." It was all Wu Yu could say.

Of course he would not leak the news. As for when this group would fully trust him, only time would tell.
