"All right, I did not come today to continue debating right or wrong with you. As long as you can stand on the same side as me, I will let you return to the sect master’s position once again. But looking at you now, you are still opposing me."
Yun Shan saw the unpleasant mood in the hall once more, and his brows knit slightly. Then he spoke coldly:
"What’s done is done — there is no turning back. Only by cutting the weeds and pulling out the roots, leaving no survivors, can we remove any future trouble! You, having managed the Yun Lan Sect for so many years, still don’t understand this simplest of truths?"
"If we pull back now, do you think the remaining members of the Xiao Clan will not continue to hate our Yun Lan Sect? Will not seek revenge on us?"
"I might as well tell you directly — that Xiao Clan, I absolutely will not let them go. I have already received word that the remnants of the Xiao Clan are currently surviving under the shelter of the Mittel Family."
"Hmph, that old man Hai Bodong has meddled in our Yun Lan Sect’s business time and again. Does he really think I don’t dare touch him? This time, I will see the Xiao Clan completely eradicated in the Jia Ma Empire. Anyone who stands in my way — I will kill them!"
"You want to move against the Mittel Family?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun was shocked, and could not help but show a bit of anger in her tone:
"The Mittel Family is one of the three great clans of the empire. If the Yun Lan Sect attacks them, it will surely draw dissatisfaction from countless other powers.
In recent years, our Yun Lan Sect has already attracted the vigilance of many powers, including the royal family. Master, do you really wish to set the Yun Lan Sect against the entire Jia Ma Empire, and become the target of all?"
"Also, the ones protecting the remaining Xiao Clan members obviously aren’t only the Mittel Family. This also involves the royal family, even the Alchemist Association! Do you intend to kill them all as well?" Yun Yun looked at Yun Shan in disbelief.
"I know they’re all involved. Hmph, nothing but a bunch of petty clowns,"
Yun Shan’s face showed a hint of contempt, and he sneered:
"You simply do not understand the might of a Dou Zong. If they dare to act, that’s fine by me. The Jia Ma Empire has been calm for far too long — a thorough cleansing would actually be a good thing for my Yun Lan Sect."
Yun Yun stared in shock at Yun Shan, whose temperament had completely changed and was nothing like his former self. It was hard to believe that the teacher she had most revered in the past had become today.
He actually wanted to carry out a great purge of the entire Jia Ma Empire?
"Master, if you persist on this misguided path, the Yun Lan Sect will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later!" Yun Yun gritted her silver teeth and shouted angrily.
"Yun Yun, you have become more and more bold, daring to speak to me this way!" Yun Shan’s expression turned cold, and he rebuked sharply.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he turned and walked toward the exit of the hall.
"I’m misguided? The one who is misguided is you! You are nothing but a soft-hearted woman, unfit for great tasks.
From the looks of it, you are no longer suitable to serve as the sect master of my Yun Lan Sect. Just stay in this forbidden hall and reflect properly. When you come around, I will let you out — otherwise, hmph."
As he spoke, Yun Shan’s footsteps paused slightly. His cold voice came again:
"And don’t think I don’t know — the reason you care so much about the Xiao Clan is because of that brat Xiao Yan, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun’s expression froze, her lips quivered slightly, but for a moment she could not find words to refute.
After all, Yun Shan was not completely wrong, so she pursed her lips, feeling a bit guilty, and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Yun Shan was so furious he laughed instead:
"Heh, good, very good! I let you hold the position of sect master for so many years, yet you learned nothing but to side with outsiders."
"You act on your feelings, useless for great responsibility! If you continue to lead the Yun Lan Sect, I fear it would truly be destroyed."
Yun Shan continued striding forward:
"The Yun Lan Sect will not be destroyed in my hands. On the contrary, I will take it to an unprecedented peak, to a level no previous sect master ever reached!"
As his footsteps were about to cross the threshold, his figure paused once more, and his cold voice drifted over:
"You had best forget that brat, and stop your foolish fantasies." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net
"If he dares step back into the Jia Ma Empire even half a step, I will take his life the very first moment!"
"Also, don’t you forget — the Yun Lan Sect has wiped out the entire Xiao Clan. As the sect master of the Yun Lan Sect, your position alone means there can never be anything between you and him!"
With a wave of Yun Shan’s sleeve, the heavy hall doors slowly closed shut.
The moonlight that had been pouring in from outside was also blocked, and the interior of the hall gradually sank into darkness.
Inside the hall, Yun Yun looked at the tightly shut doors, her delicate jade-like hand clenched tightly. After a moment, a trace of dimness and helplessness emerged on her elegant and graceful face.
An endless expanse of blue sky, with a few lazy clouds drifting languidly across it. Only when the occasional breeze blew would they shift ever so slightly.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting down golden beams that landed on the towering mountain ranges below. From a distance, they looked like pale-golden swords of light standing tall, appearing quite magnificent.
At this moment, from the far, empty horizon, came the faint roar of wild winds.
Not long after, some small black dots appeared at the very edge of the distant sky.
Moments later, the black dots grew larger, carried by the wind, finally revealing themselves to be more than a dozen flying magical beasts, each emanating a ferocious aura, sweeping past with low, deep roars.
Atop the massive head of the leading flying beast, two young men in black robes were seated cross-legged.
A faintly distorted, invisible barrier surrounded them, splitting the oncoming gales to either side.
Inside the barrier, the two remained unaffected, eyes half-shut, focusing with undistracted minds on their cultivation.
After a long while, the handsome young man on the left, dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden patterns, was the first to slowly open his eyes.
In his eyes, a strand of black flame danced for a moment before slowly fading away.
"This Life Devouring Pill is truly strange. After researching it for nearly a month, I still can’t find a perfect way to break its effects," Wei Yang said in a low voice.
At this moment, Xiao Yan beside him also slowly opened his eyes. Aside from the amazement in them, there was a trace of frustration.
The two exchanged a glance, then shrugged helplessly, showing they had not made much progress.
"You two boys shouldn’t rush. The Life Devouring Pill is not only a miraculous pill, but also a peak Tier 7 pill. If it was so easy to crack, it wouldn’t have been known as a pill that once shocked the entire continent," Yao Lao’s voice rang out in their minds.
"Mm." The two nodded.
During this nearly month-long journey, the three of them — master and apprentices — had devoted most of their energy to researching the Life Devouring Pill.
By joining forces in their deductions and frequently sharing their insights, they had managed to gain some results.
Although they still had not perfectly broken the Life Devouring Pill’s effects, they had at least developed an alternative solution, enough to temporarily extend Xiao Li’s lifespan.
"For now, the Deep Green Longevity Pill is the best alternative we can find," Wei Yang shook his head and said. "To truly crack the pill formula and find a perfectly complete solution may be unrealistic in itself. At the very least, we cannot accomplish it in a short period of time."
"Mm." Yao Lao and Xiao Yan both nodded, agreeing with this assessment.
