Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 413 - 305 Kill! Kill! Kill! The Daoist Intends to Pay Tribute to the Jianxie Sect by the Mountain Worship Ceremony
"Flirtatious gentleman, your words are broken promises!" The palace-attired beauty stood up abruptly, her face revealing a thinly veiled anger.
At this moment, Qin Yun’s heart was filled with extreme rage.
Ever since the turmoil within the Hehuan Sect’s branch of joy, the sect was already severely weakened. After Yi Chen’s departure, she had retracted her forces and sealed the mountain gates.
Relying on the fearsome reputation Yi Chen had established before, at first, nobody dared to provoke them, but as soon as the news of the Great Qin Legal Assembly spread, the entire cultivation world boiled over.
The Hehuan Sect wished for tranquil solitude, yet the winds of conflict would not cease. Some matters simply couldn’t be withdrawn from at will.

As a major sect of the Northern Region, the Jianxie Sect conceived the plan to consolidate many smaller forces and sell their alliance to the highest bidder.
The immense benefits of invading Central Continent were too great for Great Qin or the top sixteen sects to consume alone. Ambitious and covetous, the Jianxie Sect also wanted a bite of the rich spoils, and forming the Coalition of Stars was their very intention.
Only by increasing their own mass could they grab more of the fruits of interest at the upcoming feast of distribution.
Even if it meant selling themselves to the top sects, they could still secure a handsome price.
"What words does Sect Master Qinyun speak of? This gentleman merely said if the Sect Master would play a tune on the zither, I would consider sparing that fellow who dared to offend the majesty of our Jianxie Sect. When did I ever say I would definitely spare him?"
Me considering is not the same as me sparing, and doing inequalities is quick work.
The flirtatious gentleman clearly grasped the essence of inequalities, a hint of greed flickering in his eyes as he glanced over Qin Yun.
No one knew the secrets that the flirtatious gentleman had harbored in his heart for years.
He harbored an Oedipus complex.
As the only son of the Wusheng Sword Mother, the Sect Master of Jianxie Sect, he grew up listening to his mother’s legendary tales, which skewed his preferences towards mature and charming female cultivators when choosing a mate.
And Sect Master Qinyun, without a doubt, perfectly matched the vile design in his heart.
Before meeting Qin Yun, he had originally wanted to use the Hehuan Sect as bait to attract others with their beauty to join the Coalition of Stars, aiming to draw in more experts. However, after he saw Qin Yun, he changed his mind.
"As for the others of the Hehuan Sect, I don’t care, but Qin Yun, you are destined to be my forbidden delicacy." Gazing at Qin Yun’s graceful figure, the flirtatious gentleman couldn’t help but lightly lick the overflow of cool liquid on his cup.
Were it not for the fear of the whereabouts-unknown so-called Great Elder Zhang San of the Hehuan Sect, as well as a hidden hope in his heart to conquer the beautiful Sect Master with his charm, he would have already made his move.
Qin Yun suppressed the anger in her heart. Although she felt no romantic inclination towards Dao Zhen, out of common humanity and considering that Dao Zhen had repeatedly come to her aid, she now faced disaster and could not just stand by and watch. She couldn’t help but plead softly, "Gentleman, please tell me, what must be done to spare Daoist Dao Zhen?"
"It is not difficult to say, but also not easy. This gentleman has practiced for only three hundred years and has already stepped into the realm of ’Entering the Path.’ My mother, the Sect Master of Jianxie Sect, was accompanied by a spirit ghost at birth. Now she has merged the spirit ghost with her sword, advancing to the realm of ’Severing the Path’ in one fell swoop."
"Given my cultivation level, character, appearance, and family background, how about you become my ninth dao companion, Sect Master? How does that sound? Surely that would not be an insult to the daoist friend."
The flirtatious gentleman gently set down the cup, his eyes brimming with lascivious light as they fleetingly swept across the cultivators lined up at both sides of the banquet.
Those seated were the leaders of medium and small forces ’invited’ by him to discuss joining the Coalition of Stars.
With the prestige of his mother, the Wusheng Sword Mother who was at the realm of ’Severing the Path,’ no one dared to ignore the Jianxie Sect’s invitation to join, even before considering whether to actually do so.
He volunteered to undertake this task before his mother, harboring the intention to showcase his capabilities in her presence.
To bring about this alliance, a combination of intimidation and grace was necessary.
In his heart, he had already decided that even if Qin Yun truly surrendered to him, he would never spare the Liyuan Sect.
For every grand undertaking, a sacrifice must be made.
How could there be grace without first demonstrating power?
Destroying Liyuan Sect would serve as a warning to others.
The flirtatious gentleman’s gaze swept over the crowd, with varying expressions visible on the faces below.
Some remained silent, others had flickering eyes, and quite a few started to flatter and curry favor.
"The gentleman is unrivaled in talent, desiring to take Sect Master Qinyun as a dao companion – to state it as an insult is absurd. If anything, it is Sect Master Qinyun of the Hehuan Sect who is reaching too high," spoke someone.
"What Daoist Fu Mo says is quite right," agreed another.
"These words are virtuous, Sect Master Qinyun is truly fortunate."

At this moment, someone took the lead, and within the ninth floor of the Moon Watching Tower, the din of agreement rose.
They weren’t ignorant of the flirtatious gentleman’s nature, but they still went against their better judgment to flatter him, with some even starting to congratulate Qin Yun as if the matter was already settled.
The virtuous servants and respected cultivators outside, when faced with the exalted birth and superior cultivation of the flirtatious gentleman, eventually could not hold back their dark inner thoughts, displaying their inner gardens of filth within the hall.
The reason was simple; they had nothing to lose since it was the Hehuan Sect that would pay the price, while flattery could bring favor from the flirtatious gentleman – truly a profit without investment.
Besides, to witness a fairy cast into the mortal dust was a great delight of life...
Qin Yun swept her beautiful eyes over the people in the hall, finally settling on the first to speak out, the graceful scholar.
This man was Fu Mo, whom she had once admired for his demeanor. Today, much to her shock, he was the first to turn coat.
"Fu Mo, you are shameless!" Qin Yun rebuked angrily, then turned her gaze towards the gentleman in white, "I, a woman of humble condition, have not sought another dao companion since my husband passed away. I truly appreciate the gentleman’s generous affection, but this matter, is absolutely impossible!"
