Chapter 420: Renown Booms

His innate talent is unbeatable, and his background is the bunch of protective lunatics from the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Xuanyuan Jinglan suddenly wondered why the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion could be so reckless.

If it were him, it would only be more reckless.

Back then he was repeatedly beaten by Chang Haoge, who held his head down, yet when facing others now, he is still wildly reckless.

Tie Chui, standing behind Xuanyuan Jinglan, still didn't know what had happened.

But seeing Elder Jinglan's expression shift constantly, he knew this Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion was not someone to be trifled with.

If it were an ordinary Legend Realm, with the elder's temper, he would have already been slapped to death.

Xuanyuan Jinglan found himself on a tiger he couldn't get off.

Inside and outside the Daoist hall, so many eyes were watching; if he yielded, where would the Xuanyuan family's reputation go?

If he doesn't yield.

It would provoke Chang Haoge, and with his strength, he would truly suppress him, forcing the Xuanyuan family's ancestral founder to redeem him.

His face would be even more disgraced.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Jinglan came up with a method that wasn't shameful.

He laughed loudly, "So the Lord is a disciple of Hao Ge, the sect founder of the Purple Star Emperor Sect; I was mistaken."

"The Sect acts with deep meaning; my Xuanyuan family has always been friendly with the Purple Star Emperor Sect. This incident is like a flood washing the Dragon King Temple—just a misunderstanding."

"Fine then."

Saying that, Xuanyuan Jinglan slapped the family servant onto the ground.

"When you're out serving the Xuanyuan family, you show no sense of protocol; what use are you?"

"Today I'll spare you once: 1,000 Chaos Stones, as the family buys you a lesson, hoping you'll remember it."

"From now on, don't be so rigid in your actions, understand?"

"Go, apologize to the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion."

Xuanyuan Jinglan spoke loudly, and everyone inside and outside the Daoist hall heard.

He directly pointed out that the Purple Star Emperor Sect stood behind the Lord, so it wasn't shameful anymore.

Compromising with the Purple Star Emperor Sect is quite normal, right?

After all, it's the longest river, the highest mountain among the super powers, ever flourishing—who dares to disrespect it?!

Lin Chuan smiled without a word.

He naturally understood Xuanyuan Jinglan's petty thoughts.

But his goal was already achieved, so he wouldn't clash with the Xuanyuan family; it ended like this, and he even got 1,000 Chaos Stones for free, leaving him quite satisfied.

Tiechu Xiuzhe approached Lin Chuan and apologised obediently.

Xuanyuan Jinglan produced 1,000 Chaos Stones, took Tie Chui away, and the farce ended.

……

Shangguan Qing, who had been 'saved', stared dumbfounded.

Purple Star Emperor Sect?

The Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion is actually a member of the Purple Star Emperor Sect? Or a disciple of the sect founder Hao Ge?

No wonder he's so arrogant!

Looking at it that way, everything makes sense.

Disciple of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, when confronting major powers, has always been overwhelmingly strong, yet on Mortal Earth their reputation is the best.

Because disciples of the Purple Star Emperor Sect truly act chivalrously, aiding the masses.

The Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion hails from the Purple Star Emperor Sect; having such enlightenment is thus normal.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing felt an absurd sense that even if he died, it would be a fitting death.

Returning to the hall.

Lin Chuan arranged a small courtyard for the Shangguan siblings.

So that this brother, about to face death, could spend more time with his unaware sister.

In another small courtyard.

Mo Sangyu and Lin Chuan stood in the wind.

At this moment, Mo Sangyu, as a Witch, felt countless bewilderments.

Lin Chuan is actually a member of the Purple Star Emperor Sect?

That's the head of a prestigious orthodox sect!

Many disciples from the Purple Star Emperor Sect take slaying demons as their duty.

So why does Lin Chuan approach her?

After pondering for a long time, Mo Sangyu could no longer hide what was in her heart and asked directly, "What exactly do you intend by approaching me?"

A core disciple of the Purple Star Emperor Sect deliberately reaching out to this Witch?

For both sides, it's not a good thing.

If discovered by their family elders, those people would do anything for reputation.

"I didn't intend anything."

Lin Chuan's reply remained ambiguous, "Fate brought us together."

"Heh."

Mo Sangyu didn't believe a single word of Lin Chuan's answer.

She also knew she couldn't ask further.

"Fine, after the three-year pact ends, I owe you nothing, and our fate ends as well."

After speaking, Mo Sangyu turned and left.

But her turbulent heart grew increasingly hard to calm.

The more curiosity she felt toward Lin Chuan, the more active her other personality became, seemingly eager to retake control of the body to witness this "beautiful" world.

But each time she would be wounded all over.

"Mo Sangyu, oh Mo Sangyu, how many times must you be hurt before you are completely disillusioned with this world, before you stop seeing even a sliver of good and start thinking the other is your whole world?"

The Witch personality strained to suppress the other self within.

For now she can still keep it down.

But she also clearly realizes that it is becoming harder and harder to hold back.

It is not only because of "Mo Sangyu", but also because of herself; her attitude toward Lin Chuan has subtly shifted.

She knows it is changing, yet she cannot control it.

That is the most frightening part.

"What else can I do?"

At this moment, Mo Sangyu even hoped that Lin Chuan would sooner do something to make her lose heart, which is better than eventually truly losing control and then losing heart.

But for now it seems everything Lin Chuan does aligns with her wishes.

……

After that day.

The reputation of Myriad Symbol Pavilion was fully established, not only affecting the surrounding many Daoist halls, but also hinting at a trend that would spread across the entire Jin Tian Zhou.

This was thanks to the final words of Xuanyuan Family elder Xuanyuan Jinglan.

A super genius capable of making the Xuanyuan Family yield, backed by a super power like the Xuanyuan Imperial Sect, was enough to lift Myriad Symbol Pavilion's reputation to an unprecedented height.

In the following period, visitors to Myriad Symbol Pavilion came in a steady stream.

But soon, another rumor spread, causing many cultivators to balk.

The deal of Myriad Symbol Pavilion had only one condition: willingly offering one's own soul, in exchange for any assistance from the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

The vast majority of cultivators naturally want to live well.

To them, Myriad Symbol Pavilion then holds no meaning.

Only those at a dead end, trapped in a desperate situation, or facing unsolvable problems with hearts ashen, who gamble with their lives, will regard Myriad Symbol Pavilion as salvation.

……

Ziwei Star Domain, Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Chang Haoge also received the news and furrowed his brows, not because he minded Lin Chuan leveraging the influence of the Purple Star Emperor Sect,

after all, Lin Chuan is Yang Zu's younger brother and has received the supreme inheritance of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, so calling him a member of the Purple Star Emperor Sect isn't really wrong.

What he worries about is another matter.

Why does Myriad Symbol Pavilion require living beings to offer their souls for the deal?

"Looks like we have to tell Yang Zu then."

Chang Haoge worried, "If Lin Chuan goes astray by cultivating Unify One Qi into the Three Purities, Yang Zu must step in to pull him back."
