25: The Bliss Sect Attacks

Inside Die Xiuyun's courtyard, Sect Leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect Hua Zhuyun and Die Xiuyun were both staring at Lan Xuefei.

Lan Xuefei wore a blue dress, her skin fair and beautiful, as pure and white as snow, just like her name.

Her long, dark hair cascaded down, a melon-seed shaped face, lively large eyes, a small nose, and cherry lips formed an exceptionally striking appearance.

No wonder she attracted Situ Nan's attention.

How could Young Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect let go of such a beauty? In terms of looks and figure alone, no one in the Border Region could compare to her. What's more, her talent was not weak either, making her perfectly suitable as a dual cultivation cauldron.

At this moment, Lan Xuefei's expression was grim. Hearing that Situ Nan wanted to marry her, a feeling of disgust welled up within her. How could she not know his character, especially since the faction he belonged to clearly intended to harm the Hundred Flowers Sect?

It would be strange if she agreed, but if she refused, the Joyful Union Sect would surely use it as an excuse to cause trouble.

She was a little downcast, looking towards her master. Die Xiuyun could no longer hold back and comforted her, "Xuefei, don't worry. The Sect Leader and I know this is a trap, so how could we agree to him?"

It just wasn't the right time to show their cards to the other party; they could only stabilize him for now and then make further plans.

So, she turned and said, "Sect Leader, when shall we make our move?"

Hua Zhuyun said, "I have already arranged for the Grand Elder to keep an eye on Situ Nan and his group. As soon as they make any unusual moves, we will apprehend them directly and then inform the Joyful Union Sect, demanding resources for their release."

"It just so happens that our Hundred Flowers Sect is currently lacking resources. With this sum, we can recover a great deal of our vitality."

"If the Divine Origin Realm Grand Elder of the other party appears, I will make my move then. I don't believe they would dare to fight us."

After all, the original strength gap between the two sides was not significant; they only dared to act because a Divine Origin Realm expert had returned to their side.

Now that she had also advanced to the Divine Origin Realm, the high-end combat power was completely equal, and there was no need to be apprehensive anymore.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xuefei's expression relaxed... In various corners of the Hundred Flowers Sect, two dark figures flickered continuously, but strangely, no one noticed them.

They were clearly the two old men behind Situ Nan.

The reason they weren't discovered was thanks to the Concealed Breath cultivation technique that the Joyful Union Sect had obtained from an ancient ruin's inheritance.

When activated, even cultivators with higher cultivation than themselves would find it extremely difficult to detect their aura.

Half an hour later, the two old men returned to Situ Nan's courtyard, exchanged glances, and revealed a strange smile.

Upon hearing the report, Situ Nan also smiled. Things were proceeding as they had anticipated. When the time was right, humph!

Inside the Joyful Union Sect, the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect was respectfully reporting to a Gray-Haired Old Man, who was none other than the Grand Elder Hui Ji, a Divine Origin Realm Second Level expert!

Previously, he had been traveling in regions outside the Eastern Continent. When he first returned, the forces in the Border Region all thought he had just broken through to the Divine Origin Realm.

They didn't know that shortly after he left ten years ago, he had obtained an opportunity to break through to the Divine Origin Realm, and now he had even reached the Second Level.

His return this time was to unify all the forces in the Border Region and integrate resources to help him advance further.

Hearing that Situ Nan had successfully achieved his goal using the method he bestowed, he couldn't help but stroke the beard on his chin.

He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Send a message to Situ Nan, tell him to stall them for a few days. Three days later, after I come out of seclusion, I will suppress the Hundred Flowers Sect!"

"Yes!"

The Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect said excitedly... In the blink of an eye, two days passed. The Grand Elder of Hundred Flowers Sect, who was ordered to keep an eye on Situ Nan, approached Hua Zhuyun to inquire about her doubts.

"Sect Leader!"

"Situ Nan and his group have been staying in the courtyard these past few days without any movement. I feel that something is amiss."

Hua Zhuyun also sensed it. The other party didn't seem like the type to be so well-behaved. If it were in the past, he would have probably been unable to restrain himself and would have already inquired about the follow-up to the marriage alliance.

Yet now, he was holed up in the courtyard, not coming out, which was quite strange. However, she temporarily couldn't think of what trouble the other party could stir up right under their noses.

Thus, she could only continue to have the Grand Elder keep a close watch on them and report any developments in time!

Watching the Grand Elder retreat, Hua Zhuyun's eyes showed contemplation.

Lin Yan had also stayed in his courtyard these two days, guiding Lin Muyan's cultivation. As for the situation within the sect, he was perfectly clear; those two old men could not hide from his divine sense.

He anticipated that something would happen within these few days. If the Hundred Flowers Sect faced a crisis of annihilation, out of consideration for that girl from the past, he would intervene!

Sure enough, three days later, Hui Ji, accompanied by the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect and his entourage, arrived a few miles from the Hundred Flowers Sect, gazing from afar.

The Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect quickly sent a message to Situ Nan, signaling that he could make his move.

Situ Nan, who was meditating in his room, opened his eyes. After pushing open the door, he left the courtyard with the two old men.

In the shadows, the Grand Elder's eyes narrowed as she watched the group suddenly leave the courtyard. She stared intently at them while sending out a sound transmission talisman.

Situ Nan went directly to the mountain gate. The two guarding disciples, seeing him, quickly bowed and then respectfully said, "Young Sect Leader Situ, you cannot leave the sect without the Sect Leader's permission for now!"

Situ Nan seemed not to hear them, quietly staring at the distant sky.

Before long, a warship appeared from afar, arriving above the mountain gate at an extremely fast speed.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Hua, long time no see, I've missed you greatly. Please come out and meet me!"

A hearty voice emanated from the warship. The Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect stood at the front of the warship, looking down with a cold expression.

"Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect, what brings you to my Hundred Flowers Sect?"

A figure slowly appeared at the mountain gate, with the Grand Elder by her side.

It was Hua Zhuyun!

Her face was solemn. She hadn't expected the other party to act so quickly. It was likely that Situ Nan had been instructed by them to stay within the sect.

However, she still couldn't understand the other party's intentions.

She said indifferently, "Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect, are you making such a grand display because you intend to go to war with my Hundred Flowers Sect?"

As she spoke, a murderous intent filled the air.

Her eyes swept over the people on the warship, lingering for a moment on a Gray-Haired Old Man. The other party consisted of more than ten people, all high-ranking elders of their sect.

But only that Gray-Haired Old Man gave her a feeling she couldn't see through.

She frowned slightly. One must know that she was now a Divine Origin Realm expert. Even if the other party was that Grand Elder, it shouldn't be like this, should it?

"Haha, Hua Zhuyun, let's be frank. If you had agreed to that matter a few months ago, there would have been no need for such a fuss."

The Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect chuckled!

"I'm sorry, my Hundred Flowers Sect has no intention of being subservient to others. Not now, and not ever!"

Hua Zhuyun said resolutely.

If they truly submitted to the other party, the Hundred Flowers Sect would exist only in name.

She would become a sinner for all eternity. The Hundred Flowers Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Its founding ancestor is said to have been a peerless genius, not from the Eastern Continent!

Although she didn't know why he came here and established the Hundred Flowers Sect, if it were to fall in her hands, she would be unforgivable even if she died ten thousand times!

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Hua Zhuyun's voice was filled with killing intent. The experts within the sect also arrived at the mountain gate at this moment.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
