Chapter 1055 Death Threat, Survival of the Fittest

'You beast...'

Ye Kang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Killing the Daoist disciple of the Chongtian Dao Sect is no longer a fight to the death; it's clearly a matter of being reduced to ashes.

This guy is a master strategist, drawing the biggest trouble onto himself; he's incredibly cunning.

Ye Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, my skills are meager; how could I possibly be a match for Daoist?"

"This is none of my business. Do your best, or die." The woman in blue said bluntly, her tone full of certainty and disdain.

Ye Kang was furious, but he had no choice. He could only nod and say, "Okay, but I need a promise."

"what would you like?"

"I must live; the Xuanji Dao Sect cannot abandon me."

"can."

"I also want you to help me elevate the Qiyun Sect in the Qiyun Mountains to a top-tier sect in the Central Continent."

"You dare to bargain?" The woman in blue's tone hardened, already carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Ye Kang shook his head and said, "I dare not. This matter is just a trivial matter for you, senior. I am only trying to repay some of the kindness of Qiyun Sect. It will not have any impact on Xuanji Dao Sect. As long as Qiyun Sect becomes a top sect, I can guarantee that the Daoist will die."

Ye Kang raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.

He knew that he could not back down at this point, and instead became even more resolute.

The woman in blue glanced at him, but didn't ask why. She nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't leave the Azure Sky Domain."

"Yes, ma'am," Ye Kang gritted his teeth and agreed.

There was nothing he could do. With a Dao Integration Realm expert in front of him, he was already incredibly lucky to be able to make two requests. As for leaving the Azure Sky Domain for the Misty Continent, he could forget about it.

The woman in blue nodded, then added, "There's one more thing. Huanhuan possesses the potential to become a Martial Immortal, and I will not allow anyone to interfere with her path. If you appear before her, I will kill you."

"Understood." He took a deep breath and gave a helpless smile.

The woman in blue said no more and disappeared from the spot.

As the oppressive aura disappeared, Ye Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unbeknownst to him, cold sweat had already broken out on his back.

The pressure is too great; this is the difference between returning to one's true self and aligning with the Tao, and it cannot be bridged by anything else.

Even if Ye Kang could previously challenge opponents of higher levels, he would never be able to do so given this difference in status.

But now a big problem has struck, and Ye Kang can't help but feel annoyed.

He couldn't just sit and wait to die, nor could he disobey the orders of the Xuanji Dao Sect. Moreover, even if the Xuanji Dao Sect promised to protect him, Ye Kang wouldn't completely believe it.

Firstly, the Xuanji Dao Sect is unlikely to be so kind; they would probably rather get rid of such a big problem directly.

Secondly, there's the power of the Chongtian Dao Sect. If the Dao Integration experts there go mad, the Xuanji Dao Sect might not be able to protect itself.

"I never thought that even after reaching the peak of the Returning to Truth realm, I would become a lamb to the slaughter again?"

Ye Kang was speechless. Sure enough, the world has never changed. The weak will always be manipulated by the stronger.

Therefore, he only has one way to break the deadlock.

In harmony with the Dao.

Only one's realm and cultivation level truly belong to oneself. This situation may seem difficult to resolve, but as long as one aligns with the Dao, none of these will remain problems.

That's why Ye Kang made the request to make Qiyun Sect one of the top sects.

Let Xuanji Dao Sect help him complete the second stage of the task of revitalizing Qiyun. At that time, with the Dao Marks and Enlightenment Tea rewarded by the system, he might have a chance to achieve Dao Integration.
