“An explanation?” Wen Xiangjie chuckled lightly, “Since you insist on me giving you an explanation, if I can’t solve this trouble, then I can only solve the person who is causing me trouble.”
“What my Junior Sister means is what my Taiyi Sect means, Qiu Mengyang, prepare yourself.” After dropping these words, the Spirit Beast Peak Lord couldn’t be bothered to deal with the muddled Wu Ding Sect Master anymore.
Instead of wasting time on him, she’d rather pay more attention to her Junior Sister.
Her Junior Sister still had a competition in the afternoon; she needed to rest well. Saying one more word to the brain-dead Wu Ding Sect Master was just wasting her Junior Sister’s precious rest time.
“Let’s go, Junior Sister, hurry back and rest. Senior Sister has already arranged for someone to prepare a sumptuous feast for you, all your favorites!”
“Thank you, Senior Sister, I love you the most~”
Upon hearing Wen Xiangjie say “I love Senior Sister the most,” the Spirit Beast Peak Lord’s heart bubbled with joy.
The Wu Ding Sect Master watched as Wen Xiangjie and the Spirit Beast Peak Lord happily chatted and left, his expression fluctuating between dark and light.
“Sect Master…” an elder from the Wu Ding Sect hesitated to speak.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk back in our Wu Ding Sect’s resting area,” the Wu Ding Sect Master said coldly.
He didn’t want to stay here any longer and be laughed at.
The Wu Ding Sect Master quickly led the Cultivators of the Wu Ding Sect away, returning to their designated resting area.
As soon as he entered the resting area, the Wu Ding Sect Master could no longer control his temper and angrily cursed loudly, “Damn Wen Xiangjie, damn Taiyi Sect! How dare they, how dare they!”
The Wu Ding Sect Master’s life had always been smooth sailing. The Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect was his biological father, and he possessed a single wood-element spiritual root, indicating good aptitude. Relying on his father and the resources of the Wu Ding Sect, the Wu Ding Sect Master had a smooth path to becoming a Mahayana Realm expert.
Afterward, he inherited his father’s position and became the new Sect Master of the Wu Ding Sect.
Since childhood, the Wu Ding Sect Master had been praised by everyone around him. Having lived for over a thousand years, this was the first time the Wu Ding Sect Master had lost so much face!
And it was in front of so many powerful figures of the Cultivation World!
The elders of the Wu Ding Sect all knew how strong their Sect Master’s self-esteem was. Losing so much face this time, he must be extremely furious.
But now was not the time for anger; the Wu Ding Sect had already fallen into an unprecedented crisis!
An elder couldn’t help but interrupt the Wu Ding Sect Master’s cursing.
“Sect Master, I believe the most pressing matter now is how to find a way to reconcile with the Taiyi Sect…”
Reconcile with the Taiyi Sect?
The Taiyi Sect had made him lose so much face today, and he was still supposed to find a way to reconcile with them?
Was he supposed to offer his right cheek for a slap after the Taiyi Sect had already slapped his left?!
“What are you saying???” The Wu Ding Sect Master glared at the elder with bloodshot eyes, “Do you have any backbone left? The Taiyi Sect has humiliated me so much, and instead of finding a way for the Taiyi Sect to apologize to me, to our Wu Ding Sect, you actually want us to proactively seek peace with the Taiyi Sect?”
Backbone?
The Wu Ding Sect was about to be gone, what backbone did they need?
The elder sighed deeply.
To have such a Sect Master was truly a misfortune for the sect.
“Sect Master, please remain rational. The reason the Taiyi Sect is recognized as the number one sect in the Cultivation World is because the Taiyi Sect’s strength is immense, not something our Wu Ding Sect can afford to provoke.”
“If we don’t find a way to reconcile with the Taiyi Sect, the Taiyi Sect will truly annihilate our Wu Ding Sect.”
The elder’s tone was very sincere, yet to the Wu Ding Sect Master’s ears, it only added fuel to the fire.
“What? The Taiyi Sect is strong, does that mean our Wu Ding Sect is very weak?” The Wu Ding Sect Master sneered, “Our Wu Ding Sect may indeed not be able to defeat the Taiyi Sect, but if our Wu Ding Sect fights with all our might, the Taiyi Sect will also have a hard time!”
“Moreover, this matter was originally our Wu Ding Sect’s rightful position. I don’t believe the Taiyi Sect would dare to go against the world’s opinion and attack our Wu Ding Sect!”
Rightful position? Their Wu Ding Sect had no rightful position at all!
The one who first began to forcefully kill other sect’s prodigies was Lin Zhaokai, who had just died from their Wu Ding Sect!
Many sects applauded when Wen Xiangjie killed Lin Zhaokai!
The Wu Ding Sect Master was still too young; he hadn’t seen when the Taiyi Sect used to kill without mercy.
It didn’t matter if you were in the right or not; if you provoked the Taiyi Sect, there was only one path: death!
If the Taiyi Sect was in the right, then taking revenge was, of course, no problem.
If the Taiyi Sect was not in the right, they would kill the party that was in the right, and then the surviving party would have the right to speak.
The Taiyi Sect’s protectiveness and domineering nature were well-known throughout the entire Cultivation World.
It was only after becoming the universally recognized number one sect in the Cultivation World that no one dared to be so blind as to provoke the Taiyi Sect, which was why the Taiyi Sect had become “cultivated” and “restrained.”
Now, it was good. Their brain-dead Sect Master had directly provoked the person in the Taiyi Sect who was currently the most unprovokable.
He was about to harm the entire sect, yet their brain-dead Sect Master still acted as if he had done nothing wrong.
That self-righteous expression made one feel an inexplicable surge of anger!
The elder who spoke was very senior; he had been an elder when the Wu Ding Sect Master’s father was the Sect Master, so he could be considered the Wu Ding Sect Master’s senior.
Seeing that the Wu Ding Sect Master was unyielding, he also sobered up and didn’t bother to waste any more words.
“Since the Sect Master refuses to acknowledge reality, I will report this matter to the Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader.”
After speaking, the elder flicked his sleeve and left.
First, he was angered by Wen Xiangjie, and then his own elder didn’t give him any face. The Wu Ding Sect Master was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
“Presumptuous! Presumptuous!” The Wu Ding Sect Master was furious, and the surging spiritual energy destroyed the entire meeting hall, leaving it in ruins.
Seeing the Wu Ding Sect Master so enraged, the other elders exchanged glances and all exited the meeting hall, leaving the entire hall to the Wu Ding Sect Master to rage alone.
After leaving the meeting hall, the elders sighed deeply, their faces filled with worry.
“It seems the Taiyi Sect is serious this time.”
“I’ve actually heard about how favored Wen Zhenjun is within the Taiyi Sect. The Sect Master provoking Wen Zhenjun is provoking the Taiyi Sect!”
“Alas, the most important thing now is to quickly find a way to apologize to Wen Zhenjun. As long as Wen Zhenjun’s anger subsides, there’s still a chance to turn things around.”
“He who tied the bell must untie it. It was our Sect Master who provoked Wen Zhenjun, so only if our Sect Master personally apologizes to Wen Zhenjun is it possible for Wen Zhenjun to forgive him.”
“But looking at our Sect Master’s attitude, wanting him to apologize to Wen Zhenjun… difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”
“This matter can only be reported to the Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader. Only the Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader can rein in the Sect Master and force him to apologize to Wen Zhenjun.”
