At that moment, Leng Yun, who had been called the Alliance Leader for over half a month, had a complexion as pitch-dark as ink, and the sympathetic, contemptuous, and mocking gazes from the crowd nearly caused him to lose control…
Especially when he saw in the crowd his junior fellow apprentice, who had not been seen for hundreds of years, suddenly appear before him and effortlessly take away the position of Alliance Leader that he had painstakingly managed for centuries…
An endless hatred surged in Leng Yun’s heart, and all the dissatisfaction from his days at the sect instantly erupted!
Every beautiful memory that had belonged to him became a grievance at that moment, intensifying into hatred in his heart…
He left the conference directly, and in the end, Leng Yun became the Vice Alliance Leader, and Hai Xiaoyao became the Alliance Leader!
After leaving, Leng Yun delegated his affairs to his three disciples for management, and he chose to go into seclusion…
He did not even meet his long-separated junior fellow apprentice.
Meanwhile, Hai Xiaoyao and his disciples happened to meet each other while the Alliance Leader of the Artifact Refining Alliance was traveling.
After leaving the sect, Hai Xiaoyao had also come to a Small City…
He passed the assessment and obtained the Artifact Refiner Badge, also becoming the Minister Elder of the Artifact Alliance in that small city!
But Hai Xiaoyao was indifferent by nature, and it took him over a hundred years to travel across the entire Haotian Continent…
During his travels, some were saved unintentionally by him, and others were children he took a liking to, adding up to six disciples in total!
All of them possessed decent talent in Artifact Refining…
The three people from Zi Yun Mountain were children he had rescued, who each had a knack for Artifact Refining and also cultivated Fire Attribute dark energy…
Therefore, between Hai Xiaoyao and the three, it could be said that their relationship was both that of Master and Apprentice as well as Father and Son!
Over a hundred years later, Hai Xiaoyao brought his six disciples back to the original Small City, bought a Courtyard in the outskirts, and led a semi-secluded life…
If it were just him, he might have gone back to find his master and continued living in seclusion!
However, with six disciples who were his hopes, they led a semi-secluded life…
Until by chance, the Alliance Leader of the Artifact Refining Alliance passed through the Small City, stayed in their Courtyard, and discovered Hai Xiaoyao refining artifacts, marveling at his Artifact Refining Technique…
Using the future prospects of Hai Xiaoyao’s six disciples as bait, he took Hai Xiaoyao as his disciple and brought him back to Lianqi City to take up the position of Alliance Leader of the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters…
Though Hai Xiaoyao was indifferent, after all, the previous Alliance Leader had many subordinates, and with Hai Xiaoyao’s naturally protective temperament and superior Artifact Refining Technique, even his six disciples stood out, making people hesitant to provoke them…
In a few years, Hai Xiaoyao and his disciples established a firm foothold in Lianqi City!
They secured a place in the Artifact Refining Alliance Headquarters…
Because Leng Yun had gone into seclusion, the Master and Apprentice had not met, and everything was stable!
It wasn’t until Leng Yun finished his closed-door cultivation that Hai Xiaoyao met him and the two talked knee-to-knee for an entire night…
Hai Xiaoyao had always thought that Leng Yun was unaware of his arrival at the Artifact Refining Alliance!
It was only Leng Yun who put on a forced smile, dealing with Hai Xiaoyao…
From then on, because of Hai Xiaoyao’s indifferent nature, upon finding out that his senior brother was the Vice Alliance Leader and was very familiar with the affairs of the Artifact Alliance, Hai Xiaoyao simply entrusted all the matters to Leng Yun to handle…
At first, Leng Yun would still consult Hai Xiaoyao out of concern for others’ opinions on significant matters.
But as time passed and Hai Xiaoyao always told him to decide for himself, Leng Yun eventually stopped considering Hai Xiaoyao’s opinions…
