Chapter 50

The conversation has reached this point.

Moreover, Ye Xuan himself did not wish to exterminate the Purple Yang Sect outright, for Liu Liyan would eventually be his junior sister, yet Sect Master Liu kept speaking in favor of his foes.

This left him in a dilemma, and the Sixth Prince of Great Yu's remark clearly gave him a way out.

Ye Xuan showed a faint smile: "What the prince said is correct; Sect Master Liu's ties with the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect are superficial, and his momentary bias to protect his daughter, being misled by Su Changfeng, is understandable."

However, to let Sect Master Liu see the true colors of the Profound Mystic Dao Sect, that Sixth Prince, why don't he say who else in the Eastern Wasteland has more convincing words?

Naturally, whoever is close to Su Chen has the more convincing words.

After all, even those closest to Su Chen all accuse the Profound Mystic Dao Sect of colluding with the extraterrestrial heavenly demon.

How could that be false?

The rogue cultivators may still not believe it, but without evidence they can only keep silent.

Prince Dayu obviously relaxed his tone, speaking with certainty: "Brother-in-law, do you still remember the Lin family of Heavenly Origin City, your childhood sweetheart Lin Jianran? In these three years of your absence, she has been deeply involved with Su Chen, frequently entering and leaving the Profound Mystic Dao Sect; the one who knows the Profound Mystic Dao Sect best is none other than her."

If she says that Sect Master Su has no intention of colluding with the extraterrestrial heavenly demon, she would be the most convincing.

Ye Xuan's narrowed eyes revealed confidence: "Then it's her!"

Convey my lord's order: let the Lin family's young lady, Lin Jianran, come to the Azure Abyss Sect to see me!

The Young Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion summons Lin Jianran to enter the Azure Abyss Main Hall!

When Ye Xuan's jade slip reached Lin Jianran's hands.

On the other side, Su Chen also received two jade slip transmissions.

One was from Sect Master Su.

Ye Han, the adopted son whom Ye Xuan's parents had taken in for many years, who had gone out to travel, somehow obtained some fortuitous encounter and actually possesses a sinister cultivation method that can forcibly raise his realm.

Leading some elite members of the Star Pavilion, he destroyed several Spirit Summoning Arrays and even intercepted a large batch of spirit stones.

Now the Rampant Spirit phenomenon occurs frequently; if insufficient Spirit Gathering Arrays are constructed for cultivators to refine the accumulated spiritual power within their bodies, it will cause cultivators to literally burst to death.

In five more days, the spirit stone supply will be exhausted.

"Five days... it seems the impact of the Rampant Spirit on cultivators without special constitutions is truly great." Su Chen pressed his lips, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes:

Without Spirit Gathering Arrays, those Profound Mystic Dao Sect disciples can only be killed by the rampant spiritual power within their bodies, bursting to death.

We must find a way to deliver the existing spirit stones to them.

As for the other one.

It came from the Azure Abyss Sect in Azure Province.

At this moment, Ye Xuan has already rallied the major clans and sects of the Eastern Wasteland, beginning to discuss his father's collusion with the extraterrestrial heavenly demon and the chaos in the Eastern Wasteland... attempting to invert right and wrong.

He attempts to prove to all cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland...

Prove that his father is a descendant of the heavenly demon.

The name Su Changfeng carries immense influence in the Eastern Wasteland; don't look at how he dotes on his son, having spoiled Su Chen to lawlessness.

Yet he is a sect master beloved by the people.

Ye Xuan not only wants to strike against Su Chen, to destroy the Profound Mystic Dao Sect, but also wants to establish his own power in the Eastern Wasteland.

After all, compared to merely eliminating the insignificant Profound Mystic Dao Sect.

Establishing prestige in the hearts of Eastern Wasteland cultivators is far more important.

Ye Xuan wants both; he does not want to gain a bad reputation as an arrogant bully who relies on power to oppress others, but rather wants to have a just cause.

Aunt Liu actually went to the Azure Abyss Sect?

Because Prince Dayu spoke up for Aunt Liu, the final disposition of her case was suppressed, and now they demand Lin Jianran go for a confrontation? Su Chen looked at the gilt characters on the jade slip, inwardly sneering.

Liu Liyan, standing silently beside him, flashed a scarlet killing intent in her eyes.

Then it vanished in a flash.

She put on an obedient and pure expression, turning her head to look at Su Chen, who was focused on the transmission jade slip: "Ah Chen, what's wrong? Is it about Uncle Su?"

"Mm." Su Chen had no intention of hiding it; he directly laid out the situation of going to the Azure Abyss Sect: "Sixth Prince, logically he should have no ties with the Purple Yang Sect, so he must have another motive, using Aunt Liu's one-sided understanding of the Profound Mystic Dao Sect as an excuse to seek her exoneration."

Now Ye Xuan has already sent Lin Jianran to the Azure Abyss Sect.

All the cultivators of the clans and sects in the Eastern Wasteland know that I have painstakingly pursued Lin Jianran for three years, making her the one who understands me best; little do they know that the person Lin Jianran has always longed for is her childhood sweetheart, Ye Xuan.

If she now says the Profound Mystic Dao Sect colludes with the extraterrestrial heavenly demon, and casually cites some fabricated examples, Ye Xuan can then use that as a pretext to attack my Profound Mystic Dao Sect with a just cause.

The main goal is to capture me; once I'm taken, the Profound Mystic Dao Sect will have no successor, existing in name only.

Indeed!

Liu Liyan lowered her gaze, her eyelids fluttering as if lost in thought, without responding.

Her delicate hand had been held by Su Chen all along; at this critical juncture, why isn't Ah Chen sweating in his palms?

Could it be that Ah Chen isn't worried...

If the collusion with the extraterrestrial heavenly demon is confirmed, the Profound Mystic Dao Sect will be despised by humanity and suffer countless scorn; if Lin Jianran simply insists that the Profound Mystic Dao Sect is of heavenly demon descent, the entire sect will likely be wiped out.

You, you go find Lin Jianran now, is there still time? Liu Liyan forced herself to suppress the panic and anxiety in her heart, looked up and said: "But can you not go?"

I don't want to lose you again.

Even without her, I, I can still protect you!

Pfft! Su Chen laughed at Liu Liyan's last remark; this silly girl, does she know what the other side is really capable of?

So pure, obedient, cute, and delicate a young woman.

Even if she possesses the cultivation of a Martial Emperor, she is a heaven‑chosen prodigy of the outside world.

But in the face of Ye Xuan, that destined son of fortune, she is simply not enough.

I estimate that with just a finger of my current self, this girl couldn't even resist.

What could she use to protect herself?

Su Chen raised his hand and stroked Liu Liyan's silky black hair, speaking calmly and composedly: "You! Why are you still worried at this time? If I leave you, abandon you to go find Lin Jianran to reconcile, let her show mercy, and speak good words for the Heavenly Profound Dao Sect?"

Liu Liyan's long eyelashes blinked forcefully.

It seemed as if she were saying, "It won't happen, will it?"

Just in that moment earlier, her mind had already imagined countless scenes.

She was afraid, she was afraid that Su Chen, for the sake of Sect Master Su's reputation, would abandon her to go find Lin Jianran to reconcile, and she would completely lose him...

"Idiot, of course not, what she says doesn't matter anymore!"

"My fiancé, I am about to duel Ye Xuan!"

"It's fine, rest assured, I've got everything." Su Chen pinched Liu Liyan's cheek, as smooth as sheep-fat white jade, and then asked the words he had kept in his heart for a long time: "Liyan, if, if after I duel Ye Xuan, I leave the Eastern Wasteland,"

"You and Aunt Liu, are you willing to give up your current noble status and comfortable life to follow me?"
