My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 296 - 164: Decision

"Why not?" Wen Guiyun countered Jun Yutian, "In fact, the choice of whether to engage in a great battle with the Demon Path was never in our hands, but in the hands of those few sects of the Demon Path. After all, this was all stirred up by them." Wen Guiyun stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scene outside the window as he spoke.

Jun Yutian frowned tightly, his eyes flickering, then suddenly laughed, "Indeed, they don’t want to fight those people from the Demon Path, but those people want to fight them. In any case, the Immortal Realm can forget about peace this time."

Bai Guanlin also furrowed his brows, glanced at Wen Guiyun and Jun Yutian, and although he said nothing, his expression revealed his thoughts.

The people of the Demon Path indeed intended to wage a great war against the righteous path sects; there was no cessation in harassing these sects. In the afternoon, news came that disciples from several sects were killed by the demon cultivators while training outside. The sect leaders who received the news looked extremely grim, and even those who hadn’t received any news didn’t have time to gloat over others’ misfortunes, as they feared that the next disciples targeted by the Demon Path might belong to their own sect.

With the persistent troubles caused by the Demon Path to the righteous path sects, the sect leaders directly agreed to Wen Guiyun’s proposal the next day, preparing for a great battle with those sects of the Demon Path.

"Master Wen is right; the Demon Path has been provoking us, clearly wanting to start a war with us. Instead of waiting to be defeated, it’s better to take the initiative to strike, where we can still have some control."

"Exactly, our disciples have indeed been at peace for too long and don’t know the severity of those sects of the Demon Path. It is time for them to understand that the continent is not so tranquil!"

"The Demon Path is slapping us of the righteous path in the face, and we should also let them know who is truly formidable, otherwise they would think they can overturn the sky."

"..."

Listening to these righteous and stern words from the sect leaders, Wen Guiyun maintained a gentle smile on his face, while Jun Yutian curled his lips disdainfully. Luckily, he had cultivated more temperance over the years and didn’t retort to the sect leaders on the spot.

"Since all the sect leaders have agreed, let’s settle this matter for now. Please return to your respective sects, count your numbers, and sort out how many personnel your sects can provide. Additionally, call back all your disciples who are still training outside to avoid getting harmed by the Demon Path. Each sect should begin to suppress the demon cultivators on your territories to secure our rear and prevent being attacked from both inside and outside by the Demon Path. Regarding this matter, I give you half a month to handle these affairs, and once they’re resolved, we can declare war on the Demon Path," Wen Guiyun announced his decision decisively once everyone quieted down.

What he spoke of was considering the actual situations of the sects, so there was no disagreement from the sect leaders, and they all nodded in agreement. After accepting the orders given, they began to take action.

Including the three major sects, all sect leaders summoned all their disciples back, creating a sense of an impending storm in the Sub-immortal Realm, making everyone exceedingly cautious when outside.

Meanwhile, the demon cultivators who were originally active on the righteous path side were unlucky; one by one, they were rooted out and dealt with, striving to clear out all demon cultivators present on the righteous path side.

The Demon Path naturally noticed these movements, but Wen Guiyun and his people were guarding Yuqiu Pass now. A checkpoint from the Demon Path territory to the righteous path territory, those demon cultivators couldn’t enter Yuqiu Pass and could only be blocked outside.

...

Outside Yuqiu Pass was the territory of the Demon Path, where they esteemed whoever had the strongest fist as the leader. The four major sects of the Demon Path held absolute power here, and unlike the righteous path, which suppressed for various reasons, those of the Demon Path have always repaid grievances and hatred directly. Therefore, generally, no one dared to mess with the members of the four major sects.

You City was the domain of the Netherworld Palace. Outside the city, there was a group of palaces, and among them was an enormous palace second only to the central one, the residence of Gong He, the Young Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace.

It was nighttime, the palace was brightly lit. Gong He sat on a chair in the bedchamber, wearing a black silk robe, untied, with the front of the robe wide open, revealing his fair chest.

He had quite an excellent physique, appearing slim but actually muscular—a frame that looked lean when clothed but quite robust when bare.

His long hair cascaded down his back, with a few playful strands falling to his chest, looking black and shiny in texture.

At this moment, he appeared very languid, a faint smile on his handsome face exuding a kind of wicked charm.

In his hand, he held a wine glass filled with liquor, which he drank in one go. A drop of wine dripped from his lips, slid over his alluring Adam’s apple and fair chest, and disappeared under his clothes.

At this moment, he exuded a blend of sensuality and laziness, making him highly captivating.

When Lin Xian’er entered from outside, this was the sight she saw. Her heartbeat quickened for a moment. She quickly lowered her head, afraid that her adoration would slip out.

"Report to the Young Palace Master, our disciples on the Floating Island were all rooted out and cleared by the people of Lingxi Sacred Land. What should we do next?" Lin Xian’er kneeled on one knee, her head lowered in a very humble manner.

Lu Ying—since it was Gong He who glanced at her, pouring himself another glass of wine, he then lazily began to speak, "Those were rooted out, but there’s still you, isn’t there? It’s time for you to take the stage. Otherwise, how can this play be worth watching?"

His voice was lazy and cool in tone, yet it sounded very pleasing to Lin Xian’er’s ears, causing the tips of her ears to turn red involuntarily.

"I understand, I will head to the Floating Island right away and won’t disappoint the Young Palace Master’s expectations," Lin Xian’er’s voice sounded slightly excited, and her body even seemed to quiver slightly with this excitement.

Since being brought back by Gong He, she had been waiting for this day, and now, this day had finally come.

Those from Lingxi Sacred Land who once humiliated her, she would make sure they paid the price one by one!

"You may leave now." Gong He waved his hand, gesturing for Lin Xian’er to exit.

"Thank you, Young Palace Master." Lin Xian’er stifled the urge to lift her head, stood up, and respectfully backed out. As she was about to leave the main hall, she quickly raised her head, casting a glance at Gong He, her eyes filled with intense love.
