Chapter 1737 You rejected me again!
Mingchuan secretly praised him, thinking to himself, "Old ginger is indeed spicier."
Sect Master Ye's move was not only helping him, but also striving to secure more autonomy for the Spirit Realm and counter the Holy Realm's long-standing, subtle interference and talent poaching.
"Alright, thank you for your guidance!" Mingchuan clasped his hands in a solemn gesture. "Then I'll trouble Qingfeng Yumen to handle the contacts for the next three days. As for Wanchuan Sect, I will continue my seclusion while seriously injured, feigning weakness to the enemy. Axiong and Jizhou will cooperate to maintain a facade of outward tension while inward relaxation, both to prevent Qingcheng Yufa Sect from resorting to desperate measures and to facilitate Fellow Daoist Lin Yi in relaying the news of the sect leader's serious injury and the general panic back to Su Hongzhen's ears."
Ye Chuhan said excitedly, "That's right! Let's do it both ways! On the surface, you'll be in a terrible mess, while we'll secretly rally our allies. When the time is right, we'll reject Yueyao and then give the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect a good beating!"
Sect Leader Ye looked at the two young men with satisfaction and added, "I will personally handle the matter of making contact."
"Alright! Then I'll leave everything to Sect Leader Ye!" Mingchuan thanked him again.
The three then discussed some details in hushed tones, such as how to transmit information without leaking it, how to choose the right time and wording to refuse Yueyao, and the general direction of their attack on the Qingcheng Yufa Sect and the assistance they might need.
Half an hour later, Sect Master Ye and Ye Chuhan quietly left Wanchuan Sect, coming and going like the wind, without attracting much attention.
Inside the suspended palace, Mingchuan sat back in the main seat, the weakness on his face long gone, replaced by a calm sharpness.
He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips, gazing at the deepening twilight outside the hall, a cold, stern smile curving his lips.
“Su Hongzhen… Fairy Yueyao… just wait, I will break you down one by one…”
He muttered to himself, a flash of silver light in his eyes, "Now, let's see if you can withstand my wrath!"
……
Over the next two days, Wan Chuan Sect maintained a high level of vigilance on the surface, but the core area seemed to be shrouded in a faint anxiety due to the sect leader's "recurring injuries and seclusion."
Jinman sat in the Observatory, her brows furrowed with worry; Ah Xiong and Jizhou, on patrol, had even colder and harder expressions than usual.
Occasionally, disciples would see the stewards hurrying by, and their whispered conversations mostly revolved around their concerns about Mo Yuan and the sect leader's injuries.
Lin Yi, from District C, keenly sensed this subtle change in atmosphere.
Through some inconspicuous observations and snippets of conversation he overheard, he became increasingly convinced that Mingchuan's injuries were not minor and that the higher-ups of the Wanchuan Sect were in a state of great distress over the matters of the Demon Abyss and the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect.
He carefully relayed this information again in an extremely secretive manner.
While undercurrents were swirling in the Spirit Realm, Sect Master Ye had already quietly visited the Purple Cloud Pure Temple, the Heaven-Mending Holy Sect, and the Profound Heaven Gate.
As he expected, Lin Ruowei, Mu Yaoyao, and Chu Huai had already fought alongside Mingchuan several times before, and this time they readily agreed to jointly support Mingchuan and punish the Qingcheng Yufa Sect.
Even some small and medium-sized sects that were originally observing the situation, after realizing the common intention of the four major sects and Su Hongzhen's horrifying act of destroying the Demon Abyss, secretly sent messages expressing their willingness to follow the trend.
The three-day deadline is fast approaching.
The atmosphere was solemn in front of the Hanging Hall of Wanchuan Sect.
Mingchuan was still dressed in a silver robe, his face appearing even paler than three days ago. Accompanied by Jinman, Ran Qianqian, and others, he waited quietly.
In the sky, holy light reappeared, and the white jade flying boat broke through the clouds. Fairy Yueyao and Xuanyangzi gracefully descended and stepped into the palace once more.
Fairy Yueyao's gaze fell on Mingchuan's face. Seeing that his complexion seemed even worse, a faint hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, but her tone remained indifferent:
"Three days have passed, Sect Master Ming, what has your decision been?"
All eyes in the hall were focused on Mingchuan.
Mingchuan slowly rose, bowed deeply to Fairy Yueyao, and when he raised his head, his face was full of difficulty and guilt. His voice was hoarse but clear, echoing throughout the hall:
"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Fairy. However, after much deliberation, I cannot abandon my sect, my Daoist partner, or my homeland. As for marrying into the Holy Domain... please forgive me, I cannot agree to this."
He paused, and just as Fairy Yueyao's gaze turned cold, his tone suddenly became firm and resolute, carrying a sense of determination and responsibility:
"The crimes of Su Hongzhen of the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect are too numerous to count! The scourge of the Demon Abyss concerns the very foundation of the Spirit Realm! These two matters are internal affairs of our Spirit Realm. Our Wanchuan Sect, together with Qingfeng Yumen, Zixiao Jingyuan, Butian Shengjiao, Xuantianmen, and many fellow practitioners in the Spirit Realm, are determined and capable of cleaning up our own ranks and stabilizing our land!"
"From now on, you need not trouble yourself with this matter, Fairy!"
As soon as the words fell, several powerful auras suddenly resounded outside the hall. The figures of Sect Master Ye, Sect Master Mu, Sect Master Lin, Sect Master Chu, and others appeared on the square, accompanied by the spiritual light of representatives from many spiritual domain sects.
They stood silently, yet in the most direct way, they expressed their attitude and support!
Their ability to freely enter and exit the Wan Chuan Sect, hidden in the void, is itself a symbol!
The indifference on Fairy Yueyao's face finally vanished completely. She looked at Mingchuan, whose gaze was firm, inside the hall, and then swept her eyes over the formation outside the hall that represented most of the power of the Spirit Realm. For the first time, a clear chill and a trace of anger at being disobeyed were revealed on her beautiful face!
"good very good!"
She slowly uttered three words, her voice as cold as ice, "Mingchuan, this isn't the first time you've rejected me! I've given you chance after chance, but you haven't cherished them! Since that's the case, then remember your choice today!"
Mingchuan raised his eyebrows.
This looks like a blatant threat. I guess next time we meet, Fairy Yueyao will just take action against him.
"You wait for me!"
Having said that, Fairy Yueyao did not linger for another moment. She turned around and transformed into a beam of bright moonlight, soaring into the sky.
Xuan Yangzi gave Mingchuan and the crowd outside the hall a deep look before leaving.
The white jade flying boat quickly disappeared into the clouds, as if it had never existed!
As the oppressive aura of the Holy Domain dissipated, a suppressed yet exhilarating cheer erupted both inside and outside the hall!
Mingchuan looked in the direction where Fairy Yueyao had disappeared, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his lips.
So what if they threaten me?
If Mingchuan surrenders today, who knows how many more jokes are waiting for him!
An unprecedented sense of unity and fighting spirit surged within the Wan Chuan Sect and among the major sects of the Spirit Realm.
Next, it's time to completely settle the score with the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect.
A cold glint flashed in Mingchuan's eyes as he looked toward the direction of the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect, as if piercing through the void to see Su Hongzhen's face twisted with fear and anger.
"Su Hongzhen... your good days are over."
