The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 731 - 243: No Way, I’m Afraid of Becoming a Widower (6k)

"So it is the Supreme Elder Yun Jing from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect. I did not know you were coming, and have failed to meet you from afar. I hope you will forgive my incompetence."

Yun Jing did not immediately respond. Her gaze coldly swept over the crowd and finally landed on Elder Yanxiao.

She spoke slowly: "I have come today to discuss an important matter with your Daoist Palace Sect Leader."

Yanxiao slightly frowned, but maintained a smile as he respectfully replied, "What matter, might I ask, so that I may accurately report it to the Sect Leader."

Yun Jing was concise: "Betrothal alliance!"

"Betrothal alliance?" Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding. He blurted out, "Who is marrying whom?"

He remembered hearing rumors that the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect Leader, Immortal Xuan You, had brought her apprentice Zhu He to the Taiqing Sect also for the purpose of a betrothal alliance.

And the betrothal alliance was intended for none other than Zhou Qing, the most prominent figure among the younger generation.

But why now had the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect suddenly come to Cangyan Daoist Palace to discuss an alliance?

Could it be that they hit a wall at the Taiqing Sect and were using the Cangyan Daoist Palace as a backup? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Yun Jing's expression remained calm as she slowly spoke, "The betrothal alliance between the two sects is naturally between my Sect Leader and your Palace Master."

Yanxiao was stunned once again upon hearing this.

Indeed, their Palace Master had pursued Immortal Xuan You for many years, but all these years, she had not even spared him a glance.

During the early stages of the Five Sects War, our sect was the first to target the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, leading to a deep-seated animosity over the years.

In such a situation, the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect proposing a betrothal alliance was unexpected.

"Do you have any other questions?" Yun Jing's gaze was piercing as she stared at Yanxiao, coldly asking.

Yanxiao finally snapped back to reality, quickly waved his hand, and said, "No, no, please wait a moment, Supreme Elder!"

After speaking, Barrier Elder Yanxiao hurried inside.

Yun Jing, looking at the sect she hated so intensely, sighed inwardly.

If she had a choice, she would never set foot in this place.

But now, despite holding a winning hand, they had played it terribly.

Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere at the mountain gate became increasingly tense.

Not long after, Elder Yanxiao walked out with a complex expression, a peculiar look on his face, as if in a dilemma.

"Open the door, let me in to discuss with him!" Upon seeing Yanxiao emerge, Yun Jing immediately stepped forward with undeniable authority in her tone.

Yanxiao heard this, slightly bowed, but did not show any intention of letting her in, as Yun Jing expected.

Instead, he spoke solemnly, "Supreme Elder misunderstood, I am not here to invite you in, but to convey a message."

Yun Jing's brows furrowed instantly, a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

In the past, Sikong Yan frequently visited the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect in pursuit of Xuan You.

In those days, while the two sects were not particularly close, they maintained basic interactions and courtesies.

Now, although the relationship had changed after the Five Sects War, they should not be so disrespectful.

Moreover, this time they had voluntarily lowered themselves to propose a betrothal alliance.

"Convey a message? What message?" Yun Jing suppressed her fury, coldly asked.

Elder Yanxiao took a deep breath, carefully choosing his words, and after a moment, slowly said, "The Palace Master said that your sect's Sect Leader is nearing death, and he does not wish to become a widower at such a young age."

"Moreover, if there is any contagious illness, his frail body cannot withstand it. Thus, this betrothal alliance is void."

"Sect Leader Lei Wuji of the Golden Thunder Sect is robust and sturdy, so perhaps you could trouble him instead."

Upon hearing Yanxiao's words, the disciples guarding the gate tried hard to suppress their laughter, lowering their heads with faces flushed red.

Yun Jing trembled with rage.

She had never expected Sikong Yan to utter such humiliating words.

However, how did he know the Sect Leader was nearing death?

Was the white-clothed figure who did not show his face actually him?

Impossible, it doesn't make sense.

"Supreme Elder Yun Jing, the Golden Thunder Sect is in that direction, travel safely!"

Upon finishing speaking, Yanxiao turned and strode into the barrier, leaving Yun Jing standing alone before the mountain gate.

Yun Jing's face was filled with embarrassment and fury. Subsequently, she flicked her sleeves, huffed coldly, and turned, controlling her sword to depart.

…

Not long after, Xuan You and others who received the news looked extremely grim.

Currently, among the Eastern Domain's five major sects, the most powerful are none other than the Taiqing Sect and the Cangyan Daoist Palace.

Now that the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has already offended the Taiqing Sect, and the Cangyan Daoist Palace has adopted a stance of watching the fight without intervening, unwilling to extend a helping hand.

As for the Phecda Sect, its Sect Leader, Master Xuanji, fell in the Secret Realm at Spirit Skull Mountain, and has long been powerless to form alliances with the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.

Moreover, they are the loyal lackeys of the Cangyan Daoist Palace.

Thus, the only sect left for the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect to potentially form an alliance with is the Golden Thunder Sect.

But the pressing issue is, what bargaining chips do they currently possess to make the Golden Thunder Sect willingly join forces with them to oppose the Taiqing Sect?

After all, the people of the Golden Thunder Sect are not fools; they too are recuperating, and without sufficient enticing benefits, they certainly will not easily involve themselves in this conflict.

"Why not expose the Nine Nether Lotus Seed affair, after all, we've already failed on our side."

Tong Po, full of worry, hesitated with her suggestion.

Immortal Xuan You heard this, slightly shook her head with a solemn expression.

"Even if revealed, what can be done? The lotus seeds have all been refined, and outsiders have no place to seize them."

"Moreover, acting in such a manner will only offend all the other sects, especially since the Cangyan Daoist Palace possesses a total of ten. It is simply not worth it."
