Chapter 870: What a Beast!

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, Luo Xuandao's expression froze.

He couldn't even utter a single word of rebuttal, because what Wan Guiyuan said...

Was damn true!

What a beast!

Who could have imagined that after doing it, he would still have the nerve to say it straight to his face without the slightest hesitation?

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe it, right?

The more Luo Xuandao thought about it, the more stifled he felt.

Pfft.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

He staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground.

"Enough!"

Just at this moment, Luo Ling seemed unable to watch any longer, his low voice instantly echoing out.

This voice seemed to contain a peculiar power.

As it swept over Luo Xuandao, the power of the sound waves penetrated his body, instantly smoothing out the boiling Qi and blood within him, and his chaotic aura settled down as well.

A bit of color returned to that pale face.

Luo Ling's gaze swept over Wang Jianqiang, then looked at Wen Tiansheng, and he said expressionlessly, "Wen Tiansheng, for today's matter, are you going to give me, Luo, an explanation?"

Long before Wang Jianqiang admitted his relationship with Jiuyou, Wen Tiansheng's eyes had already lit up.

Wan Guiyuan had always been mysterious and hadn't told him what he had been doing since arriving at the Youyun Holy Land.

He didn't expect that he would actually pull off something so big in the end.

Haha~

Poaching Luo Xuandao's woman and ruining the Dual Cultivation Ceremony.

This kid really has some tricks up his sleeve!

Won't Luo Ling be pissed half to death now?

Not only that, the entire Youyun Holy Land will lose face and be subjected to ridicule because of this.

So satisfying!

His heart was full of excitement, yet his face revealed a look of confusion.

"An explanation?"

"What explanation?"

Luo Ling's brows furrowed tightly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, "Your Beast Taming Sect disciple Wan Guiyuan ruined my Holy Land disciple's Dual Cultivation Ceremony and damaged the reputation of my Youyun Holy Land. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Hearing Luo Ling's cold, pressing question, Wen Tiansheng shook his head with a chuckle, "Daoist Friend Luo, that is where you are wrong."

"Wan Guiyuan is a disciple of my Beast Taming Sect. I, Wen, am clear about his character. I, Wen, can tell Daoist Friend Luo with certainty that this child Wan Guiyuan has been upright in character, honest, and polite since he was young."

"Towards the Youyun Holy Land, he only has respect; there is absolutely no intention of offense."

"On this point, I, Wen, can vouch for his character."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, among the people present, many couldn't help but show strange expressions.

Vouch for his character?

This guy has always been one to go back on his word; when has he ever cared about character?

Does this word even have anything to do with Wen Tiansheng?

Luo Ling naturally also knew Wen Tiansheng's personality.

He frowned.

Just then, Wen Tiansheng's voice continued.

"As for the matter of Jiuyou..."

"My Beast Taming Sect never interferes with our disciples choosing their Dao Companions. According to the sect rules of the Beast Taming Sect, Wan Guiyuan has done nothing wrong."

"Moreover, Jiuyou and Wan Guiyuan are in mutual love, so there is no question of one side forcing the other..."

"According to my sect's rules, Wan Guiyuan has done absolutely nothing wrong."

"This..."

"Daoist Friend Luo, it's not that I, Wen, don't want to, but I am powerless."

"As Sect Master, I cannot punish a disciple without cause, can I?"

Luo Ling's expression sank, "Wen Tiansheng, if your Beast Taming Sect won't punish him, my Youyun Holy Land can help you."

Wen Tiansheng shook his head with a smile, "My Beast Taming Sect has no intention of letting others help educate our disciples, so don't trouble yourself, Daoist Friend Luo."

"If you ask me, instead of having the energy to coddle your own, Daoist Friend Luo should spend more time teaching your disciples how to win the heart of an excellent female cultivator."

"You, Luo Ling, were able to find Xuan Ji as a Dao Companion and are viewed by the Daoist Friends of Youzhou as a divine couple. With such ability, if your Youyun Holy Land disciples learned even a tenth of it, they wouldn't have ended up in this state."

"As for why Jiuyou chose to flee, the reason is simply that your sect's Luo Xuandao is incompetent."

Luo Xuandao had just recovered from the blow of Wang Jianqiang's words.

Wen Tiansheng's words dealt another heavy blow to his heart, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Luo Ling glanced at Luo Xuandao, his brows furrowed, and for a moment he was speechless.

Wen Tiansheng had always been shameless.

But he was different.

To bicker with this shameless thing in front of so many people over the affairs of a sect disciple.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Thinking of this, he immediately lost the interest to continue arguing.

However, this did not mean he was prepared to let the matter drop.

Not arguing did not mean not pursuing the matter.

In the days to come, there would be plenty of opportunities to settle the score.

Thinking of this, his furrowed brows relaxed, and he chuckled, "Forget it, since things have reached this point, it means Xuantong has no fate with the Nine Serenities."

"Since that is the case, let this matter end here."

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Xuantong, "Xuantong, step back for now."

"Sacred Lord, how can we just let it go so easily!"

Luo Xuantong stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang, his expression full of unwillingness.

"I said, let it go!"

Luo Ling's voice deepened.

Luo Xuantong's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly sobered up.

Daring not to disobey a single word further, his figure flashed, and he retreated behind Luo Ling and the other high-ranking members of the Youyun Holy Land.

Luo Ling glanced at Wen Tiansheng and said nothing more.

His gaze swept across the guests, and he smiled, "I have let all you Daoist Friends see a joke; let this Dual Cultivation Ceremony end here."

"However, there is no need for everyone to rush to disperse."

"We are all very busy on ordinary days and it is rare for us to gather together; since the Dual Cultivation Ceremony could not be held, let us treat this as a Dao discussion assembly instead."

"Good idea."

As soon as Luo Ling's voice fell, the crowd laughed one after another, giving Luo Ling a way to step down.

Seeing this, Luo Ling's expression eased slightly, and he sat back down in his chair.

He had just sat back down in his chair.

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, and he suddenly spoke, "Sacred Lord senior is magnanimous; this junior admires you."

"This junior has one more matter I dare not conceal and must report to Sacred Lord senior."

Luo Ling frowned, looked at Wang Jianqiang, and said indifferently, "Speak."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "This junior and your sect's Disciple Liu Yanran are in mutual affection; Yanran is determined to follow this junior, and just like Nine Serenities, she has also left the Youyun Holy Land."

Luo Ling's expression stiffened.

He was no stranger to the name Liu Yanran; she was one of the few top geniuses in the Youyun Holy Land.

To think she had also been abducted by this little bastard!

He took several deep breaths in succession, and only then did the rage in his heart not erupt.

At the same time.

At the edge of the Square.

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a figure's body had already stiffened, and their handsome face had also turned a few shades paler.

"Junior Sister Liu actually left the sect for the sake of Wan Guiyuan!"

Luo Ming felt a wave of disbelief.

Junior Sister Liu had previously had a good impression of him; how could everything have changed so suddenly?

Could it be...

Suddenly, he thought of Wan Guiyuan's initial temptation with the Pill and the conditions he had proposed in public.

Seeming to understand something, a look of realization appeared on his face.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his eyes turning blood-red.

This bastard!

That was the goddess he had long admired, yet she had actually been cheapened by this little bastard!

What a beast!
