Chapter 2324: Chapter 2344: I’m Not Going Back!_1

"Boom!"

The windmill radiating blue light dimmed as Yu Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood, his body struck by the willow branches and instantly sent flying dozens of miles away.

The outcome had been decided.

Liuyun did not attack again; his expression remained calm as he floated in mid-air, as though he had just done something trivial.

Although this outcome was expected, seeing Liuyun win so effortlessly filled Lin Chen, and the other two with joy.

Lin Hu Shan’s face turned deathly pale; he had never imagined that Yu Xiong would lose so cleanly and decisively.

From beginning to end, not one of Yu Xiong’s attacks posed a threat to Liuyun, not in the slightest!

It was over!

His own son, he feared, had died in vain!

The other members of the Huan Yue Sect were also pale with shock, many cursing inwardly, "Lin Yuanyi, you damned fool, you’ve provoked a ceiling-level big shot!"

Others may court disaster, but you’ve not only done that, you’ve dragged the whole sect into it!

The Sect Master had pulled in all the connections he could and still couldn’t resolve the issue, so what was left to do?

When one is at the mercy of others, let them be sliced as they wish, powerless to resist.

Just as Huan Yue Sect had previously bullied Fengxue Sect and Fengxue Sect had no choice but to accept defeat, even when the other party demanded the Sect Master’s own granddaughter in exchange, the sect had to just grit its teeth and comply for the sake of the sect’s survival.

What goes around, comes around. Huan Yue Sect had bullied Fengxue Sect first, and now retribution had arrived.

Yu Xiong’s face was deathly pale as he clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is powerful, and I am no match. My Snow Wind Island will not interfere in these matters again!"

Liuyun nodded faintly, saying, "Please do."

Yu Xiong left promptly, turning to leave without even greeting Lin Hu Shan.

Lin Hu Shan was completely despondent, so when Liuyun descended from the sky, Lin Hu Shan clasped his fists in a respectful, almost servile salute.

"Previously unaware of the Senior’s status as an expert from the Dragon Mountain Sect, I made a grave error. If the Senior has any commands, we in the Huan Yue Sect will comply without question."

Liuyun asked coldly, "I did kill your son, did I not?"

Lin Hu Shan’s eyes were calm: "He committed acts he shouldn’t have, provoked those he shouldn’t have. Not only has he killed himself, but he has also implicated the sect. As his father, I am heartbroken, but as the Sect Master, I must take responsibility for Huan Yue Sect. Senior, whatever your demands may be, please state them, and I will do my utmost to comply. Only please spare the rest of the Huan Yue Sect; they are innocent."

"Innocent?"

Liuyun sneered, "You dare speak to me of innocence?"

Lin Hu Shan did not argue or explain, he simply waited quietly with a respectful, perhaps even humble, demeanor.

Once Lin Hu Shan had bowed his head, the matter was naturally concluded.

Liuyun spoke indifferently, "We will take Mi Xiaowan with us."

"Very well!"

"The compensation that Fengxue Sect owed you, I’ll take that too."

"No problem."

"Although I intervened merely because I couldn’t stand to see a woman bullied to such an extent and have no actual relationship with Fengxue Sect, if you seek revenge on Fengxue Sect because of what happened to your son, I will return to Huan Yue Sect."

"Our grudges with Fengxue Sect ended the moment we received the compensation. Today’s incident was caused by my unworthy son’s misdeeds, which provoked you, Senior, and he got what he deserved, unrelated to Fengxue Sect. I will not, and dare not seek revenge on Fengxue Sect."

Lin Hu Shan quickly made his stance clear, as though fearing Liuyun would not be reassured, he added, "The path of the Immortal is long, a son can be had again, but if Huan Yue Sect is gone, and I am dead, then truly all is lost. Rest assured, Senior, I can discern what is more important."

Liuyun nodded indifferently and no longer paid attention to Lin Hu Shan, turning to say, "Go!"

Lin Hu Shan clasped his fists and respectfully saw off Liuyun and the others, remaining so until they were out of sight before straightening up.

The people all breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the other party had not driven them to complete annihilation. Otherwise, with the strength of the other party, none of the people there today might have escaped.

"Sect Master, about this matter..."

Lin Hu Shan turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Let this matter rest; we are not in a position to provoke the Dragon Mountain Sect."

"What about the Young Sect Master..."

Lin Hu Shan shook his head, "He brought it upon himself; he can’t live. He almost implicated the entire sect. I, as his father, am also to blame. Fortunately, no great disaster ensued. Let’s let the matter drop."

The people all breathed a sigh of relief, moments before they had worried that Lin Hu Shan had lost his senses and would seek vengeance at all costs for his son.

If he had done so, then they might have needed to consider whether he still had the right to lead the sect, for he would have been leading everyone to their deaths.

Since he himself realized they could not afford to provoke the other party, it was for the best.

...

Having left the Huan Yue Sect, the group landed on a mountain peak.

"Now that this matter is resolved, I must be on my way to continue investigating the mastermind behind the attack on the Sea King..."

Lin Chen clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior, for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me out of a bind. Otherwise, with my strength, even if I could have taken Miss Mi with me, I would likely have faced endless trouble afterward."

Liuyun waved his hand, "It was a small effort; let’s not speak of it. Where will you go next?"

Lin Chen replied, "To Blue God Sect."

Liuyun turned to Mi Xiaowan and asked, "And you, are you going back to Fengxue Sect?"

Mi Xiaowan shook her head with conviction in her voice, "I’m not going back."

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised, "You are alone. If you don’t go back to Fengxue Sect, where will you go?"
