Chapter 1203: Your Motives Are Too Obvious

"Of course not." Tianxin was somewhat tipsy; the twenty-year-old osmanthus wine had a strong kick.

Her cheeks were flushed, making her appear even more charming and moving in the night, and she slowly leaned against Chen Yu, her soft, delicate body pressing tightly against him.

"What is this for? A beauty trap?" Chen Yu was speechless; in fact, he had known what she was going to do the moment she arrived.

"You help my Seven Star Sect, and I am yours," Tianxin said softly.

"Your motives are too obvious," Chen Yu shook his head. "Men don't like women like this."

"This was a transaction from the start, wasn't it?" Tianxin said.

Although she did not reject the man before her, and he was a powerhouse—in the mindset of the world of Dharma Cultivators, there was nothing wrong with relying on the strong—when she thought about handing over to Chen Yu what she had guarded for decades, she found that she was still somewhat unwilling.

"It is a transaction, but not this kind of transaction," Chen Yu gently pushed her away. "I am not lacking in women; don't waste your effort."

"You..." The little bit of emotion Tianxin had been brewing was completely wiped out by Chen Yu's words, leaving her in a foul mood.

She was a beauty, wasn't she? Although she had never been in love before, she still had a woman's charm and allure, didn't she?

To have taken the initiative to offer herself only to be heartlessly rejected—who could stand that?

"I am not helping you for this, you should be clear about that," Chen Yu smiled and said. "Besides, your technique is too green; as a man, I prefer someone more mature."

"So that means I lack charm?" Tianxin was choked with anger, and she glared at Chen Yu, itching to bite him.

"Your charm is quite sufficient, but you don't understand men," Chen Yu laughed. "No need to wrong yourself; I am not what you think."

"Then will you still help me?" Tianxin steadied herself, then tried hard to calm down.

"I will. I think you should know what my goal is; I simply want to cultivate some influence for myself so that I can have a say within Dragon Breath," Chen Yu said.

"And most importantly, the era of the return of Spiritual Energy is coming. The next few hundred years will be the world of Dharma Cultivators. Don't you want to take this opportunity to let your Seven Star Sect grow?"

"Of course I want to, so I am gambling," Tianxin said solemnly. "And now that you are a powerhouse of the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm, almost the strongest existence in this world, I feel that my gamble has a high chance of winning."

"If that era arrives, the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm will no longer be the strongest; there will be more powerhouses emerging," Chen Yu laughed. "Rest assured, you won't regret it."

Tianxin nodded slightly. "I am right here; if you change your mind, just come find me anytime."

"I already said, what I want is not this," Chen Yu said.

"It's not that you don't want it, it's that you don't want to take responsibility," Tianxin smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I won't make you take responsibility."

Chen Yu shook his head helplessly; women were truly fickle. A moment ago she was acting like she knew nothing, but now she suddenly seemed to understand everything.

Just then, his expression tightened slightly, and he looked toward the mountain gate at the foot of the peak, saying indifferently, "Someone is here?"

"Who?" Tianxin's expression also changed slightly.

At this time, whoever was visiting the Seven Star Sect was definitely not a good character; it was also possible that the group from the Haoran Sect had returned.

By now, the east was already turning white, the sun was about to rise, and right in front of the main gate of the Seven Star Sect, two groups of people stood facing each other with hostile intent.

One side was naturally the disciples of the Seven Star Sect, and opposite them, an old man stared coldly at the people of the Seven Star Sect.

This old man was none other than Zhou Zongheng, the sect leader of the Seven Star Sect's neighbor, the Haoran Sect.

Back in the Cloud Void Realm, Tianxin and the others had clashed with his son, Zhou Hao, but it was later resolved by Chen Yu.

"Tianxin, where is my son?" Zhou Zongheng stared at Tianxin.

"Where your son is, how would I know?" Tianxin naturally would not admit to what happened in the Cloud Void Realm, and she glanced at the other party coldly.

"Heh heh, our Haoran Sect has a Secret Method; when dying, one can transmit what happened back to the sect."

Zhou Zongheng looked grief-stricken and indignant. "Hao Hao is not coming back; his Life Soul Lamp has already extinguished, and according to the message he sent back, the person who harmed him is you."

Tianxin was startled; she had not expected the Haoran Sect to have such a trick.

She had thought that killing and seizing treasures in the Secret Realm could be done without anyone knowing, but she never imagined that the other party would actually transmit the events of the Secret Realm back to their sect.

"Is this your reason for attacking our mountain gate?" Mu Lian sneered. "A few days ago you came to our mountain gate and started a massacre, causing our Seven Star Sect to lose more than half our disciples—is this the reason?"

"If I don't raze your Seven Star Sect to the ground, how can I quell the hatred in my heart?" Zhou Zongheng raged. "You killed my only son."

"Since you sent your son to the Cloud Void Realm, you should have been mentally prepared," Tianxin said. "Moreover, we were only acting in self-defense. Don't you know what kind of person your son is?"

"Shut up! A few days ago your sect's Mountain Protection Array was active, so I had no choice but to retreat. Heh, did you really think that forcing us back meant you were safe? While the Great Array was up, I couldn't break it, but now that the array is gone, none of you will live."

Zhou Zongheng was now almost like a madman; after all, he had such a precious son, and now that his son was dead, consumed by grief, all he could think of was revenge.

"The law of the Dharma Cultivator is survival of the fittest. Since you sent your son to seize treasures, you should be prepared to be killed." Just then, a cold voice came over.

It was Chen Yu who had arrived; when he spoke, he was still halfway up the mountain, but after a few words, he had already reached the mountain gate.

"Who are you? This is a private grudge between me and the Seven Star Sect; you shouldn't interfere," Zhou Zongheng sneered.

"My name is Chen Yu; the Seven Star Sect is under my protection," Chen Yu said.

"Just you?" Zhou Zongheng laughed in extreme anger. "Pardon my bluntness, but a kid whose hair hasn't even grown in yet dares to talk to me like that?"

"No wonder the Seven Star Sect is standing so tall now; so they found an outside helper. But the person you found is too pathetic, isn't he? Just by relying on him, you want to stop me?"

"End your own life, and I will ensure the Haoran Sect's legacy remains," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

Zhou Zongheng was at the Yuan Qi Peak, not even at the stage of Entering the Dao, yet he dared to clamor here; the person before him was truly not worth his attention.

"Arrogant! Men, raze the Seven Star Sect!" Zhou Zongheng could not discern Chen Yu's strength, but he had no intention of talking nicely to him either; he waved his hand, and the experts behind him prepared to advance.
