Chapter 306: Chapter 303 Qingluo Sect Leader’s Conditions

"Zheng Fuyun, what is the meaning of this? You’ve turned my Qingluo Sect upside down and destroyed a promising True Disciple of our sect. What exactly are you trying to achieve?"

"If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving my Qingluo Sect unscathed!"

"You’ve even incited all the disciples of the Qingluo Sect! It’s as if I sold Luluo myself. Speak, what are you really up to?"

"And you brought True Person Bixin and Master Cangmu with you. What exactly do you want? Are you trying to take down our Qingluo Sect?"

"Do you have any idea if I had wanted to make a move today, you brat could have died a thousand or eight hundred times already!"

....

In the Sect Leader’s Silent Chamber of Qingluo Sect, Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng bellowed like thunder, and his large spit flew directly onto Ye Zhen’s face.

That enormous finger pointed at Ye Zhen, prodding him again and again, making Ye Zhen wonder if, with some spiritual power, it could very well poke his head full of holes.

Just like that, while Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng ranted and raved, Ye Zhen sat quietly, being berated for nearly half an hour before Guoo Wanfeng vented all his rage.

Watching the Qingluo Sect Leader, who had just gulped down a pot of cool tea to calm down, Ye Zhen wiped the spit from his face with his sleeve before speaking leisurely.

"Sect Leader Guoo, if you’re done yelling, let’s sit down and talk properly," Ye Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, Guoo Wanfeng was momentarily stunned.

"Sect Leader Guoo, if you haven’t had enough and still want to yell some more, then go ahead, I’m at your service."

Guoo Wanfeng was stunned once more, and the rage that had just flared up was quenched. He understood that Ye Zhen had seen through the situation.

Guoo Wanfeng realized that since he was raging at Ye Zhen without plans to lay a hand on him for the time being, Ye Zhen could speak so composedly.

With a light sigh, Guoo Wanfeng felt both regret and frustration.

Why wasn’t such an outstanding disciple born in their own Qingluo Sect, instead of in some obscure Zheng family?

Actually, setting aside their positions, Guoo Wanfeng had quite an appreciation for Ye Zhen, even a bit of fondness.

"Talk? What is there to talk about between us? Right now, I just want you to scram as far away as possible!"

"I won’t leave until I rescue Luluo! Unless I... die!"

Ye Zhen spoke with absolute firmness, so much so that even the Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng was caught off guard by his resolve.

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you come earlier to marry Luluo instead of dragging it out until now..."

A wry smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s lips. That question wasn’t easy to answer; it was far too complicated.

"Sect Leader Guoo, I want to know, what benefits did the Tiannan Hua Family promise you to allow you to marry off Luluo so easily?"

Ye Zhen would have been better off not asking this question. As soon as he did, Guoo Wanfeng leapt up furiously, pointing at Ye Zhen’s nose and cursing

"What do you take me, Guoo Wanfeng, for?"

"Do you think I am the kind of person who sells disciples of our sect like commodities? Benefits? Benefits my foot!"

"Sigh!"

After a few curses, Guoo Wanfeng’s expression changed again, this time filled with bitterness as if all pretenses had been dropped in front of this outsider, Ye Zhen.

"It’s just no match!"

"What can I do in the face of the Tiannan Hua Family?

The title of the one and only Establishment Realm King, the Tiannan Flower King, is not so easy to contend with. Even a mere Soul Sea Realm Butler has the audacity to order me around....sigh, let’s leave it unsaid!"

"Kid, let me tell you this much, it’s true I agreed to let them choose Luluo as one of the Hundred Flowers Consorts, but there was a condition!"

"What condition?"

"Just one!"

"They could only take one True Inheritor from our Qingluo Sect, and even then, I had to give that Housekeeper Huaa a benefit fee of a hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals...."

"You have no idea. Because of our sect’s cultivation techniques, there are several female disciples at the Spirit Transformation Realm in our Qingluo Sect."

At those words, Ye Zhen suddenly burst into a cold laugh.

"What does that mean, sacrificing Luluo for the happiness of tens of thousands?"

"Why is it Luluo, and not someone else?"

Facing Ye Zhen’s questioning, Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng’s brows immediately furrowed deeply, "Kid, make no mistake, I am not here to listen to this."

"Besides, who makes the sacrifice is my choice! And besides, wasn’t all of this caused by Wen Tianyu?"

"Does Luluo have to be one of the Hundred Flowers Consorts?" Ye Zhen asked.

"It’s not about having to, it’s about having no choice!" Guoo Wanfeng sighed softly.

"Under such circumstances, do you think I have a choice? Unless I am willing to die and the Qingluo Sect is willing to perish..."

"But the Establishment Realm King of the Tiannan Huaa Clan, Huaa Mantian, hasn’t been seen for three or four hundred years; why is he still so..."

"You should know that once cultivation reaches the Establishment Realm, the lifespan can extend up to eight hundred years, and with the help of many secret techniques and spiritual medicines, Kings of the Establishment Realm can live as though a thousand to eighteen hundred years were mere child’s play.

We can’t afford to gamble, and we can’t afford to lose!"

"Can’t afford to gamble, and can’t afford to lose...."

With a bitter smile, the Silent Chamber fell into a death-like silence, a quiet stillness...

After a long while, Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng finally took the initiative to speak.

"Kid, give it up! In this life, who gets everything their way? There are far more disappointments than contentments..."

The current Sect Leader of Qingluo Sect didn’t seem like a Sect Master commanding the winds and clouds, but more like a dejected old man facing disappointment. Even a power at the Vein Forging Realm couldn’t have everything go their way!

To Guoo Wanfeng’s surprise, Ye Zhen shook his head with conviction.

Immediately, Ye Zhen took out a verdant Jade Scroll and laid it in front of Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng, then took out two gold invitation cards and placed them in front of Guoo Wanfeng as well.

"What is this?"

"The Divine Power Martial Skill Five Poison Seal!"

"And what about these?" Guoo Wanfeng asked, pointing to the two gold invitation cards.

"The name cards of Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang and my Zheng Family Clan Leader Zheng Tiancheng," Ye Zhen explained.

The name card of Hai Luoshuang was given to Ye Zhen when he bid farewell to her.

According to Hai Luoshuang herself, her name card as Stars Tower Master could earn respect anywhere, even in front of Phantom Divine Sect Master Fuh Dongxing.

As for the name card of Zheng Family Clan Leader Zheng Tiancheng, it was fabricated by Ye Zhen—simply a form of intimidation. And the source of the intimidation was simple.

If Ye Zhen, a Zheng Family member of the Spirit Transformation Realm, had such terrifying combat power, then one might wonder how formidable the other members of the Zheng Family could be?

Ye Zhen did not expect this name card to have a significant impact; he only needed it to serve as a deterrent to Qingluo Sect, a caution.

After all, it wasn’t something trivial that Ye Zhen alone had caused Qingluo Sect such upheaval.

"What are you trying to imply, a threat?"

"Or perhaps a big stick followed by a few sweet dates?"

"Honestly, boy, these tactics are all played out by me. Such techniques are useless in front of me."

"It doesn’t matter whether it’s the name cards of Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang or your Zheng Family Clan Leader, even if they themselves were to personally come here, along with Phantom Divine Sect Master Fuh Dongxing, there will be no change to this matter.

I will absolutely not stake the fate of Qingluo Sect and my own life for the sake of one Luluo."

As he spoke, Guoo Wanfeng pointed at the Jade Scroll, his eyes revealing a complex expression.

"To be honest, a Divine Power Martial Skill is indeed very valuable and alluring to me! If it were another time, just for this Divine Power Martial Skill, I would be willing to become a hitman for you once, even as Qingluo Sect Leader."

"However, sometimes, you must consider who the opponent is!"

"Now, even if you were to offer not just one Divine Power Martial Skill but ten or a hundred, I wouldn’t lose my senses and help you oppose the Tiannan Hua Family. That’s not going to happen..."

"Young man, take it back, it’s useless..." Guoo Wanfeng gently shook his head.

Facing Guoo Wanfeng’s refusal, Ye Zhen’s expression showed neither sorrow nor joy.

"Sect Leader Guoo, you are right, but you have also misunderstood."

"Misunderstood?"

"That’s right, I didn’t give these to have you confront the Tiannan Hua Family or even the Tiannan Flower King! I do have that much insight."

Hearing this, Guoo Wanfeng’s expression suddenly became somewhat astonished.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Mutual non-aggression!"

"You just need to turn a blind eye to my actions, Sect Leader Guoo. Don’t interfere. As for the Tiannan Hua Family... I will deal with them!" Ye Zhen declared.

"Boy, you’re insane!"

Ye Zhen did not speak but simply stared steadily at Guoo Wanfeng, waiting for Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng’s answer.

After a long moment, surprisingly, Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng shook his head, "I’m sorry, although I admire your courage, I still cannot agree to this."

"Why?" At this, Ye Zhen became anxious.

"You lad are too formidable. I fear that by agreeing, I’d drag both myself and Qingluo Sect into disaster."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled wryly. He had played his hand too strongly and actually ended up frightening Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng.

"Sect Leader Guoo, please rest assured, I won’t act recklessly, and I certainly won’t trap Qingluo Sect. Besides, even if I wanted to, Luluo would never agree to it."

"How about this, you set the conditions!"

"Really?" Guoo Wanfeng’s eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze involuntarily landing on the Jade Scroll containing the Divine Power Martial Skill Five Poison Seal, seeing that he might finally have the chance to take it into his possession.

The allure of a Divine Power Martial Skill for a Soul Sea Realm expert was simply irresistible.

"Really!"

"First condition, you must not take Luluo away from Qingluo Sect! At least not until someone from the Tiannan Hua Family comes again!"

"No problem!"

"Second condition, if there comes a time, you are not allowed to incite the disciples of my Qingluo Sect..."

"No problem!"

"Third condition..."

...

"The last condition, during this period, whenever you meet Luluo, there must be someone else present. You are absolutely not permitted to be alone with Luluo!" After a series of harsh conditions, the final condition from Guoo Wanfeng puzzled Ye Zhen a bit.

"What is this for?"

"Humph, what else could it be for. The Tiannan Hua Family requires the Hundred Flowers Consort to be a virgin without blemish, and I’m afraid what you two might have been up to these days... Humph!"

"Damn it, you old coot, having such dirty thoughts about me..." Ye Zhen roared.

"Do you agree or not?"

"I agree!"

After Ye Zhen bellowed these two words, Qingluo Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng’s eyes showed a trace of inexplicable concern. Now, even he was starting to wonder where this young man got his tremendous confidence to confront... the Tiannan Hua Family!

A flicker of doubt crossed Ye Zhen’s mind because of Guoo Wanfeng’s last condition—could it be that the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Tiannan Hua Family was indeed... the Cultivation Method?
