"Mm, it’s good to have you back."

Chen Nuoyi originally wanted to say this, but when she saw Su Yuan appearing in front of her without a stitch of clothing, pretending to be all handsome, the words she’d been holding back for so long were suddenly swallowed back.

Even Motis, Leng Qianliu, and Zhu Tianqing on the scene all turned their heads away with strange expressions.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the girls around him, Su Yuan finally realized something was off.

Hiss—

He was too focused on showing off in front of Blood Soul True Monarch, leading to a hasty summoning where he didn’t even have time to put on clothes.

Great, just when it was supposed to be a heroic return scene, it got totally ruined!

Su Yuan quietly retracted the spirited expression on his face, covering his embarrassment with the rustling sound of getting dressed, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

After dressing in the style of Celestial Law World, he lightly cleared his throat, and only then did the young ladies turn their heads back.

However, Xuan Haoran present did not avoid appearing amused, studying Su Yuan with interest.

After he finished dressing, he asked with a slightly sour tone:

"How did you suddenly reach Golden Core? I remember during the Sword Trials, you were only at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He glanced at Chen Nuoyi and continued:

"Moreover, your little girlfriend knew precisely that you would advance to Golden Core today and used a Golden Core Stage captive to summon you over. You two clearly have secrets you’re hiding from us."

Hearing this sour question, Su Yuan chuckled and replied:

"There’s really not much to hide from you. It’s just that the entire plan didn’t require your help, so I didn’t mention it beforehand."

"If I had publicized it early on for everyone to know, and then my plan failed, wouldn’t that be quite embarrassing for me?"

Zhu Tianqing asked following the trend:

"Sect Leader, what happened at the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony? How did you advance to Golden Core?"

Su Yuan was waiting for someone to ask this question.

In the blink of an eye, the awkwardness accumulated from running naked disappeared, and he gently flicked his sleeve, speaking in a calm manner:

"Nothing much, just destroying all the top leaders of the Blood God Sect under the nose of Blood Soul True Monarch, saving over 500,000 civilians, and conveniently tricking Blood Soul True Monarch, causing him to drop a small realm."

Xuan Haoran, Zhu Tianqing, Leng Qianliu, Qin Jin: "???"

Are you speaking in Celestial Law Language?

A mere Golden Core... no wait, not even that, you were just Foundation Establishment, and you were able to pull this off?

That’s not how you boast!

Fortunately, Chen Nuoyi and Motis timely supplemented the story, explaining the process of using the Crown of Corruption and the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, so everyone stopped doubting their ears.

"Even with the Crown of Corruption’s assistance, it’s still impressive that Sect Leader could withstand multiple moves from a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Leng Qianliu spoke with reverence, making a glasses-adjusting gesture, although he missed.

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"The Crown of Corruption is a treasure of the Decaying Celestial Monarch, and since I have inherited all his legacy, this treasure is destined to be connected with me."

"For this treasure and the profits from the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, taking some risks was worthwhile."

Despite saying this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

As they say, appearing saintly before others entails suffering in private... This battle cost him a full thousand points of Fate, depleting one-third of Primordial Sect’s foundation. If he doesn’t quickly make up for it, the entire Primordial Sect could collapse because of it.

Fortunately, next is the best time to develop Primordial Sect.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan’s tone became serious as he glanced over the members of Primordial Sect present:

"After this battle, the Blood God Sect is already leaderless, and it’s the perfect time for our Primordial Sect to expand and recruit these demons, rapidly growing."

"However, during this process, our greatest obstacle is still Blood Soul True Monarch."

"If he intervenes, it will be very difficult for us to take over the remnants of the Blood God Sect."

"Fortunately, based on my understanding of him, Blood Soul True Monarch is very cautious. He may already suspect that there is a terrifying power behind us."

"Based on this idea, we can find a way to scare him, perhaps making him run away and never set foot in the Sea of Law again."

Xuan Haoran thought for a moment and said:

"I have some treasures left by my father, the Observing Heaven Pavilion Master. Revealing some of their mysteries might make Blood Soul True Monarch wary and directly abandon the Blood God Sect."

Su Yuan nodded slightly, reminding him:

"But remember to be moderate, just enough to arouse Blood Soul True Monarch’s suspicion, without revealing anything that might alarm the Holy Law Governance Council."

"If we can disguise ourselves as a descendant or disciple of one of the Holy Law Governance Council’s Divinity Transformation members, that would be ideal."

Xuan Haoran: "Rest assured, I know the limits."

Su Yuan continued:

"Before my promotion, we must thoroughly control the Blood God Sect."

"After fully taking over this Demon Sect, the Blood God Sect will keep its name externally but use the Primordial Sect’s name internally."

"Moreover, not all members of the Blood God Sect are worth recruiting; most are ruthless villains."

"Such irredeemable Demon Cultivators, as well as captured Golden Core Stage Pirates like Wei Chenghai and Qin Jin, I suggest sending directly into the black mud formed by the Corruption Divine Kingdom, turning them into completely loyal soldiers."

"Make the best use of everything and everyone."

Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their approval of Su Yuan’s plan.
