Chapter 496: 219 Sword Spirit Xi Yue! Immortal Realm? Prison Land? Reporting to the Ancestor, someone is hijacking the wedding!_5

Han Li sighed and said.

He had intended to make a decision directly, but after some thought, he still discussed it with his descendants.

With the cultivation environment of Han Mansion now so superior, even better than those of the Great Holy Land Schools, he wanted to let some descendants branch out to other places. He feared none of them would be willing.

Why stay in the harsh cultivation environment outside without any safety guarantee when one can stay at Chengsheng Mountain?

Han Li did this only to spread out the risks. Even though he had the Township Sword, a clan-suppressing immortal weapon, who knew if there might be accidents.

“We’ll listen to Father,”

said Han Yongjin and others in unison.

Han Li frowned slightly, displeased, “I want to hear your true thoughts.”

Han Yongkang, Han Yongfan, and the others exchanged glances, then someone timidly said, “Father, I’m afraid no one would be willing to do this?”

In fact, they did not agree with this matter. If they were chosen, then they would be the ones to suffer, but they did not dare to oppose it openly.

The others also spoke up, circling around the subject to imply their disagreement.

“Enough, discuss this matter among yourselves first and see how it can be implemented. There’s no rush for now,”

Han Li said, shaking his head. His figure disappeared from Yundao Hall, not insisting on his own way.

Upon hearing this, Han Yongjin and the others sighed in relief.

……

Da Liang Empire.

Tian Ya Sect.

Tian Ya Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Da Liang Empire, strong enough to rank within the top three of the empire, with three Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm backing the sect. Its power was extraordinary.

At this moment, in the main hall where Tian Ya Sect held discussions, resounding and forceful voices rose, each statement landing with weight.

“Since when did Tian Ya Sect become such a sycophantic power? Only knowing how to flatter and fawn, begging Chengsheng Mountain like tail-wagging dogs?”

“Knowing full well it’s a pit of fire, yet still forcing Sister Qingxuan to marry into Chengsheng Mountain. Is this the true face of one of the three strongest sects of the Da Liang Empire? I am truly disappointed!”

This resolute-faced youth clenched his fists, berating the entire hall, his tone filled with indignation, before turning to look at that exquisitely beautiful figure standing at the front of the hall, saying:

“Sister Qingxuan, I know you are being forced. You don’t wish to marry into Chengsheng Mountain, and today I am willing to seek justice for you.”

The youth was named Lin Xiao, a core disciple of Tian Ya Sect with cultivation at the God Refining Realm.

Lu Qingxuan, with eyes like autumn waters, showed no ripples of emotion, her face expressionless. She did not turn around or respond.

“How dare you!”

A furious shout erupted, and an inner sect Elder looked at Lin Xiao with a cold face, his formidable presence bearing down on him.

“How undignified, to roar in the grand hall!”

“Sister Qingxuan’s marriage to Chengsheng Mountain is a decision made collectively by the Sect Leader and all Elders, and she herself has agreed. By talking back to the sect’s upper echelons here, are you seeking death?”

Having Lu Qingxuan marry into Chengsheng Mountain was beneficial for both her and Tian Ya Sect. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion for all, yet someone opposed it, and it was just a mere core disciple.

What would that do to the face of the Sect Leader and the Elders?

The Sect Leader of Tian Ya Sect and many Elders watched Lin Xiao with cold eyes. For a disciple who did not recognize the bigger picture and pursued only personal benefits, even if talented, they had already pronounced his death sentence.

Outside the grand hall, many core disciples watched, looking at Lin Xiao as if he were a fool. They pointed and whispered among themselves, with none in support of him.

Some had courted Lu Qingxuan, but the overwhelming trend could not be resisted. Lu Qingxuan’s marriage to Chengsheng Mountain also brought them significant benefits.

With the Sect Leader and all Elders having made a decision, Lin Xiao’s opposition was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

“Sister Qingxuan, are you willing to leave with me?”

Amidst the noisy chatter around him and suppressing the oppressive aura of a Guru in the Void Realm, Lin Xiao’s complexion grew red as he called out loudly.

He would not bow his head; he would not shrink back. He was determined to take the Sister Qingxuan he loved and flee far away.

Lin Xiao also believed he had the strength to back up his bold actions.

“Lin Xiao, you are being too presumptuous. Dare to speak another word and I will cripple your cultivation and expel you from the sect,”

another inner sect Elder spoke out, his tone cold to the extreme. He was Lin Xiao’s master.

He thought Lin Xiao’s actions were unwise. Even if dissatisfied, one had to endure and speak out only when one’s cultivation was stronger. Acting like this now was courting death.

Knowing that the Sect Leader and others had already condemned Lin Xiao to death, he intended to save Lin Xiao’s life in consideration of their master-disciple relationship, hence he spoke so.

Lin Xiao looked at him deeply, then at the stunning back of Lu Qingxuan, his face filled with frustration and humiliation, and he shouted angrily:

“Today, I leave Tian Ya Sect. The humiliation Tian Ya Sect has brought upon me, Lin Xiao will remember, and one day, I shall return it a hundredfold!”

“Courting death!”

The inner sect elder who initially spoke couldn’t hold back anymore, reaching out his hand towards Lin Xiao, attempting to suppress and kill him.

No one stopped him; they just watched silently.

“Hahaha~ You think you can kill me?”

Lin Xiao burst into wild laughter, an equally domineering aura exploding from within him, not at all inferior to the assaulting inner sect elder.

He was actually a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage!

The two clashed with one move; Lin Xiao didn’t take a single step back, his gaze maliciously fixed on the inner sect elder, as if he had just added him to his must-kill list.

“What a pity.”

The Second Elder of Tian Ya Sect sighed and struck out a palm towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao’s face changed; this was a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he couldn’t block it now.

“Young master is leaving, I will remember this grudge, this humiliation,” Lin Xiao said.

Without any hesitation, another powerful force surged into his body, causing Lin Xiao to emit an even more formidable aura, seemingly on par with a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

He unleashed one strike, fending off the Second Elder and, before the other powerhouses could react, his figure disappeared from the main hall where the council was held.

“Chase!”

The Sect Leader said without any expression.

The Great Elder and Second Elder sighed and vanished in pursuit of Lin Xiao.

Although they didn’t know why Lin Xiao was able to emit an aura like that of a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, they were certain that the secret technique couldn’t last long. Having offended the entire Tian Ya Sect, he couldn’t be allowed to live.

They feared Lin Xiao might interfere with the marriage procession and were also concerned about the possibility of his future revenge, so they had to eradicate him completely.

Assisted by another strong force within him, Lin Xiao fled swiftly without daring to stop, sensing that two Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm were pursuing him from behind.

He had to quickly shake off the pursuit; he couldn’t use this great force for too long, otherwise, how would he have the strength to disrupt the wedding?

That’s right, Lin Xiao was indeed planning to disrupt the wedding!

He firmly believed that Sister Lu Qingxuan was being forced, and that she remained silent earlier because of the pressure from the Sect Leader and the Elders.

In the future, he would return for revenge, he had the potential, he had the confidence.

The mere Tian Ya Sect was nothing; once he fully matured, he could crush them with a flick of his hand.

Now, he needed to find a chance to whisk Sister Qingxuan away and then elope with her, to live together from then on, enjoying a carefree life as a couple.

Memories of his past with Lu Qingxuan surfaced in Lin Xiao’s mind, believing that Sister Qingxuan had feelings for him too.

Actually, Lu Qingxuan had always been indifferent towards him, treating him only as a junior brother, but Lin Xiao didn’t see it that way.

With his aptitude, he could have joined a much more powerful faction, but for the sake of the one he admired from the first sight, Lu Qingxuan, he joined Tian Ya Sect, a force of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

“Sister Qingxuan, wait for me,” Lin Xiao murmured softly.

“Silly boy, don’t wait or not wait, run now!”

The next moment, a voice echoed in Lin Xiao’s mind, snapping him out of his momentary distraction.

“Lin Xiao, where do you think you’re running to?”

A figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao; it was the Great Elder of Tian Ya Sect, who coldly shouted.

In an instant, a terrifying aura pressed down on Lin Xiao, his own martial intent also striking out, as he threw a punch with the intention of suppressing and killing Lin Xiao.

Not far behind him, the Second Elder had caught up, holding a Lower Grade Heaven Rank treasure blade, he chopped down at Lin Xiao without any reservations.

Facing this situation, Lin Xiao could only resist fiercely; there was no escape, he was tightly ensnared.

Against two Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Lin Xiao was no match and quickly fell into a disadvantage, surrounded by dangers.

“Sigh~”

A sigh rang out in Lin Xiao’s mind, and the following instant, the owner of that voice forcibly took control of Lin Xiao’s body, unleashing even greater combat prowess.

Before long, an opportunity was found to repel the Great Elder and Second Elder, and Lin Xiao disappeared without a trace.

The two Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm chased for a while but, finding that Lin Xiao’s trace had vanished, had no choice but to return.
