Chapter 1205: Even If You Dare, Stand Out

Rather than stepping forward to seek death, it is better to go with the flow of nature.

"If there are any who are still unconvinced, feel free to step forward." Chen Yu scanned the surroundings coldly.

Having the cautionary examples of the previous disciples, the remaining people dared not go against Chen Yu; after all, who would want to go against their own life?

A commotion stirred in the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chen Yu's gaze.

"If there are no objections, then from now on, you shall submit under the Seven Star Sect. Anyone who dares to defy this will be killed without mercy."

Chen Yu beckoned with his right hand, and a wisp of soul consciousness from each person arrived in his hand; Chen Yu reached out and grasped these soul consciousnesses in his palm.

The crowd turned pale, not expecting that Chen Yu could so easily take control of their soul consciousnesses.

Once their soul consciousness was controlled, it was almost a matter of a single thought for Chen Yu to take their lives, so they would absolutely never dare to harbor any disloyal intentions toward Chen Yu in the future.

What depressed them, however, was that generally, to hand over one's soul consciousness required the person's consent, yet Chen Yu did not need to seek their agreement and directly snatched their soul consciousnesses away; this level of strength was almost unmatched in the present world.

That night, in front of a bonfire, Tianxin walked to Chen Yu's side holding a jar of wine.

"Looking at you like this, are you planning to drink with me until we're both drunk?" Chen Yu asked.

"I just want to drink with you." Tianxin looked at Chen Yu earnestly and said.

"Why?" Chen Yu asked.

"Just because you slashed the mountain gate of the Haoran Sect with one sword today." Tianxin raised the wine jar, then tilted her neck back, and the entire jar of wine was consumed by her.

The wine brewed by Dharma Cultivators is different from the wine of the mortal world; the aftereffect of the wine is great and fierce.

In the secular world, a big man from Shandong can drink, right? But with this kind of wine, just a small half-bowl would make one drunk until the next morning.

Therefore, an ordinary person truly could not finish this jar of Tianxin's wine, and even if they did, they would likely be too drunk to react for a few years.

"Good tolerance for liquor." Chen Yu smiled slightly, then also picked up a jar of wine, opened the seal, and drank the whole jar while tilting his head back.

"Do you know, Chen Yu?" Tianxin's eyes were brimming with tears: "From the day I took over the Seven Star Sect, the Haoran Sect has been suppressing us."

"Their mountain gate is built on Lone Peak, aimed at our mountain gate using the Fuxi Sixty-Four Directions; whether in terms of geomancy, hexagrams, or the mechanisms of heaven and earth, they have steadily suppressed our Seven Star Sect."

"Among the sects of Dharma Cultivators, such matters are absolute bullying, but our Seven Star Sect watched the other side bully us while having no way to stop it, because our sect's strength is weak."

Tianxin took a deep breath, and tears slowly fell down: "From the very beginning, I have been carrying a heavy burden. I swore that if one day my Seven Star Sect rose to power, I would definitely slash the Haoran Sect's mountain gate with one sword."

"But I knew my strength was limited, so these thoughts were just kept in my heart; by the time I possessed that strength, who knows how far the Haoran Sect would have developed."

"But today, you did what I have always wanted to do. I thank you on behalf of the Seven Star Sect, and on behalf of my father and my ancestors."

"No need to be so polite to me; being this polite will make me feel like you are treating me as an outsider." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Since we are allies, and since I promised to help you unify the Seven Sects and Nine Gates within the thousand miles of Shushan, then I will certainly do it."

"I know you can do it, but I really didn't expect it to be so fast." Tears hung from the corners of Tianxin's eyes, but she smiled: "Thank you."

As she spoke, she picked up another jar of wine, broke the mud seal, and drank it all in one breath again.

This jar of wine was only larger than the previous one, and the potency was even fiercer. After this jar of wine went down, Tianxin's cheeks were like red clouds.

She slowly leaned against Chen Yu's legs, murmuring something in her mouth, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, and just as he was considering whether to send her back to her room, Mu Lian walked over.

"Let her sleep here for a while; she must have lived very tiredly these years." Mu Lian smiled: "And the Seven Star Sect has never been as relaxed as it is today, and everyone has never been this happy."

"Just because your biggest enemy has surrendered to you today?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, since the founding of the sect, the Haoran Sect and us have had a rift; both sides have never given each other a good look, and the only thing we wanted to do was to devour the other." Mu Lian said.

"Ever since Tianxin's father entered the Cloud Void Realm and did not return, the strength of the Seven Star Sect gradually weakened, and the distance between us and them became further and further."

Mu Lian sighed and said: "So these years, the Haoran Sect has almost been pressing down on the head of our Seven Star Sect. If it weren't for your appearance, perhaps before long, our Seven Star Sect would no longer exist."

"Do you believe in the Heavenly Dao?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

"I believe; Dharma Cultivators all believe in the Heavenly Dao." Mu Lian was slightly stunned, not knowing what Chen Yu meant by asking this.

"Then me destroying the Haoran Sect is the Heavenly Dao." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Because it blocked my path, it had to be destroyed today. I am the Heavenly Dao."

Mu Lian remained silent; she carefully savored the meaning of Chen Yu's words. Although these few sentences of Chen Yu sounded somewhat arrogant, she did not think this was arrogance.

Because Chen Yu truly had the capital for arrogance. Although the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm did not count for much in front of the Heavenly Dao, she believed that Chen Yu's realm could not possibly stop at the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm.

"Think I'm arrogant?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"No, you have the capital for this arrogance; your realm will not stop here." Mu Lian said: "If I could destroy a small sect with one sword, I might be even more arrogant than you."

"Haha, you are truly a person of genuine character." Chen Yu laughed heartily. He took a sip of wine and said: "Don't worry, it won't be long before the Seven Sects and Nine Gates surrender to the Seven Star Sect."

"Moreover, the Spiritual Energy in this place of the Seven Star Sect is relatively acceptable, and the mountain terrain and geomantic layout are well-arranged; it is quite good to serve as the Alliance Leader of the Seven Sects and Nine Gates." Chen Yu said.

"Alliance Leader? You mean Alliance Leader?" Mu Lian was taken aback. Did Chen Yu saying this mean that even if these sects were destroyed in the future, he would not interfere in the affairs of the sects?

"I am only helping you conquer the territory; how you walk the path in the future is your own business." Chen Yu said: "However, I have one request. I have a group of demon clans that have nowhere to settle."

"The Seven Star Sect has many peaks; just find a place to open up a foothold for them. It's just that these demon clans will be on equal footing with you; they will have their own things to do when they are free and will not disturb you." Chen Yu said.
