Chapter 843: Incorporating the Joyous Union

As soon as Ye Lin’s shameless words left his mouth, Lin Muxi’s face turned deathly pale with rage.

"You lecherous scoundrel, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Who has a secret crush on you?"

"Fine, fine, no secret crush then. I don't know who it was that held on tighter than anyone else at the very end... your undergarments could be used as a Ten Thousand Soul Banner," Ye Lin muttered under his breath.

Ye Lin’s voice was very soft, but everyone present was a top-tier expert; how could these words possibly escape their ears?

Xue Bingxiao looked at Lin Muxi in disbelief; she finally understood why Lin Muxi had appeared here as well.

So it turned out she was the only one coerced by a slave seal, while this girl came of her own volition? The key point was, didn't she cultivate the Path of Heartlessness?

Fang Xitu and the nine Peak Masters were even more stunned, their gazes vacant as if they had seen a ghost.

With such a massive gap in strength, how on earth did Ye Lin manage it? Is this guy a succubus?

The faces of everyone present were filled with shock and confusion, save for Lin Muxi, whose face was full of shame and annoyance.

"I’ll kill you!"

Lin Muxi raised her sword to strike Ye Lin, but he hurriedly hid behind the nine Peak Masters.

"Nine Peak Masters, help! The demoness of the Joyous Union Sect wants to kill me!"

"Setting aside whether she kills you or not, Ye Lin, did you truly engage in the physical acts of a married couple with her?" Fang Xitu asked, looking shocked.

"Sect Master, you’ve misunderstood. That woman insisted on pressing herself against me, and since I found her too annoying, I just thrusted a few times," Ye Lin explained.

Fang Xitu: "..."

The nine Peak Masters: "..."

Xue Bingxiao: "..."

Wuchen: "..."

Listen to that—is that even human language?

"Master, what do they mean by that?" Fanxin didn't quite understand these complex words and asked his master.

"Amitabha, do not listen to what is improper."

Wuchen pressed his palms together to recite a Buddhist chant, then sealed Fanxin’s sense of hearing.

He was terrified that if his disciple listened to Ye Lin talk too much, he would go down a wicked path.

Lin Muxi was so angry her small face turned pale, but with the nine Peak Masters of the Immortal Cloud Sect standing right there, she really couldn't do anything to Ye Lin and could only sulk in place.

"Say, big sister, how about we discuss something?"

At this moment, Jun Chuanxiong took the initiative to speak and communicate with Lin Muxi.

"What is it?" Lin Muxi asked.

"As long as you don't kill this brat, I’ll hand him over to you to deal with however you like immediately. I’ve found him unpleasant for a long time too," Jun Chuanxiong said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxi’s eyes lit up.

Ye Lin realized something was wrong instantly and took half a step back.

"That... I have an urgent matter at home. My grandfather was set up by capitalists in a private placement, I need to go back and handle it."

Just as Ye Lin was about to slip away, he was caught directly by Fang Xitu.

"Where are you in such a rush to go? If you dare to do it, you must dare to own it."

Fang Xitu grabbed Ye Lin and tossed him right in front of Lin Muxi.

"That’s the spirit, show some energy, don't lose face!"

Man Yin and the others, enjoying the spectacle, began to fan the flames.

Looking at Lin Muxi’s cold, frost-like pretty face, Ye Lin’s expression instantly turned solemn.

"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore, Muxi. Come with me to the Immortal Cloud Sect."

Ye Lin reached out a hand toward Lin Muxi with a warm and sunny smile.

"Why should I go to the Immortal Cloud Sect with you?" Lin Muxi lowered her eyes and glanced at Ye Lin.

"You want to kill me to verify your Path of Heartlessness, right? If you don't come to the Immortal Cloud Sect with me, how will you find the right opportunity to kill me?"

"To put it bluntly, if you don't keep an eye on me every moment, what if I die at someone else's hands one day? Wouldn't you lose your chance to kill me and verify your path forever?"

"I’m asking you to come to the Immortal Cloud Sect with me entirely for your own sake, Muxi!"

Ye Lin began to persuade her with earnest, painstaking words.

"Do you think I’ll still believe your nonsense?" Lin Muxi asked.

"If you can lie to someone consistently for a whole lifetime, is it still considered a lie?" Ye Lin didn't answer Lin Muxi’s question but asked one in return.

Lin Muxi pursed her lips and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Aren't you afraid that I really am just treating you as a love tribulation?"

"Treat me as one then. Thinking too much only makes oneself unhappy. If my death can bring you value, then death is not unacceptable to me."

Ye Lin smiled calmly.

"Fine, I’ll go to the Immortal Cloud Sect with you."

Fang Xitu, Jun Chuanxiong, and the others were stunned again.

Isn't this guy Ye Lin truly devilishly strange? Weren't they just shouting about killing and teaching Ye Lin a lesson? How is it that in this atmosphere, the two of them look like a married couple? Can this be right?

A few Peak Masters were even itching to ask Ye Lin if he could teach them a trick or two in private; after all, the capable come first.

"Alright, let’s split up then."

Ye Lin looked at Fang Xitu and said.

"Sect Master, you and the nine Peak Masters return to the Immortal Cloud Sect first and prepare for the affairs of the Tenth Peak. I will go to the Joyous Union Sect, finish what needs to be finished, and then come find you at the Immortal Cloud Sect."

"Do you need me to send people to help you?" Fang Xitu asked with concern; after all, there were quite a few experts in the Joyous Union Sect.

"No need, we have Master Wuchen," Ye Lin said, pointing to Wuchen at his side.

"Very well, we will wait for you at the Immortal Cloud Sect."

Fang Xitu took a deep breath, preparing to set off.

Although today’s events had come to a temporary close, they were far from over.

For one thing, they still owed the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Gate ten Nether Phantoms, and catching ten Nether Phantoms was by no means an easy task; they had to plan this matter carefully.

"Let’s go, Master Wuchen."

After watching Fang Xitu and the others leave, Ye Lin looked at Wuchen and spoke.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Ye, this poor monk must state one thing: if you encounter danger and require this poor monk to act, that will count as one favor," Wuchen said indifferently.

"Understood."

Ye Lin nodded; Wuchen’s meaning was that he didn't want to be used as a free bodyguard.

But regarding how to resolve the Joyous Union Sect matter, Ye Lin already had a complete plan in mind and naturally wouldn't let himself fall into danger.

With Wuchen there, given his strength, in the blink of an eye, Ye Lin and his group arrived inside the Joyous Union Sect.

"Go, give us a secret chamber, then call the Hall Master of Greed, the Hall Master of Bone-Erosion, and the Hall Master of Sinful Realms into the chamber," Ye Lin ordered Xue Bingxiao.

With the slave seal in place, Xue Bingxiao could only obediently execute Ye Lin’s orders.

Soon, a secret chamber was prepared, and the four of them—Ye Lin, Wuchen, Fanxin, and Lin Muxi—were all arranged inside.

"Are you going to make a move against the three Hall Masters?" Lin Muxi asked with a frown.

"What kind of talk is that? Am I that kind of person?"

Ye Lin hurriedly denied it; Wuchen was still here, and this bald monk definitely wouldn't be happy about him killing people in his presence.

"Why, are you on very good terms with the three of them?" Ye Lin asked.

Lin Muxi shook her head.

She cultivated the Path of Heartlessness; strictly speaking, ever since her master’s lifespan withered and she passed away, she hadn't been close to anyone in the Joyous Union Sect.

The only one she was slightly familiar with was the Hall Master of Greed, but that definitely couldn't be called a good relationship.

On the contrary, the Hall Master of Greed had always harbored some extravagant thoughts toward her that went beyond friendship.

"That’s fine then. Don't worry, I’m a kind-hearted person who fears blood and violence. I’m just borrowing a few things from the three of them to use."
