Chapter 33: Elder Sect Leader, don’t you understand what I am saying?
The issue with the Taiyi Sword Pool's Cultivation Technique was no secret among the immortal families on Great Yan Mountain.
If Yuan Lin confirmed that the woman opposite him was the Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Pool, then he would unleash a thunderous retaliation!
No! Even if that man was the Sword Pool Sect Master, Yuan Lin had no intention of letting the Taiyi Sword Pool off the hook now.
His previous apprehension towards the Taiyi Sword Pool was mainly due to concerns that the current Sect Master might Breakthrough to the Tai Xu Realm.
But the man opposite was only at the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm, and the woman was even less likely to Breakthrough.
At this very moment, what did I, Yuan Lin, a dignified Tai Xu Realm Cultivator, have to fear!?
Decades ago, due to a dispute with the Taiyi Sword Pool, that old scoundrel, relying on his Nascent Soul Cultivation, came to our Kuiyang Sword Sect and killed two of our Elders.
Among the two who died, one had a very high chance of advancing to the Tai Xu Realm!
The grudge from that year, though only decades had passed, the Kuiyang Sword Sect had not forgotten!
After that old scoundrel from Taiyi Sword Pool died while Undergoing Tribulation, Yuan Lin had been planning his revenge, figuring out the depths of the Taiyi Sword Pool's foundation.
Now, the heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen!
The once majestic Immortal Sect had declined to this extent, truly fulfilling the saying, 'thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river'…
While Yuan Lin was still excited, Ji Nan Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently:
"Fu Huaian and Pei Sword Master are my friends. I hope the dispute between Old Sect Master Yuan and the Taiyi Sword Pool ends here."
Yuan Lin's old face stiffened, his heart filled with utter bewilderment. 'You, a dignified Empress, are meddling in such trivial matters?'
First, an old one from Taiyi Sword Pool killed our Sect's Elder, and then a young one insulted our Sect's Young Lord.
Our only retaliation was merely injuring an Elder from the Taiyi Sword Pool a few days ago.
At that time, it was mostly a test; we didn't harm his foundation, nor did we take his life.
Now to say 'it ends here,' isn't this bullying!?
Yuan Lin, at several hundred years old, felt a bit wronged by Ji Nan Yuan's single sentence.
The Sect Master and Grand Elder behind him were even more inwardly stifled and indignant!
"Your Majesty, for matters of immortal Sect grievances, we have our own sense of propriety."
Yuan Lin was definitely unwilling to stop here!
This statement was to tell Ji Nan Yuan that stopping the dispute was not an option, but they would not act too disgracefully!
Ji Nan Yuan's face was expressionless as she looked directly at Yuan Lin, her imperial Aura sweeping over him.
"Old Sect Master Yuan, do you not understand what I said?"
Yuan Lin lowered his head slightly, his expression grim. He hadn't expected Ji Nan Yuan to be so determined not to allow him to act.
Fu Huaian was also full of surprise, not expecting Ji Nan Yuan to rather offend the Kuiyang Sword Sect to protect his Taiyi Sword Pool.
Although he wasn't afraid of the Kuiyang Sword Sect's retaliation, Fu Huaian had to acknowledge Ji Nan Yuan's kindness.
Yuan Lin stood up, bowed his head towards Ji Nan Yuan, his face expressionless, and he slightly bent at the waist.
"It was this old man who offended Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty has spoken, we naturally wish to turn hostility into friendship with the Taiyi Sword Pool."
Yuan Jin and the Grand Elder beside him gritted their teeth, their hearts filled with immense grief and indignation.
They were bullied when weak, and now that they are strong, they are not allowed to retaliate! Is there any reason in this!?
But their helplessness stemmed from the fact that it was Ji Nan Yuan who intervened!
Within the immortal Sects of the Great Yan territory, disliking each other was fine, but daring to openly provoke the Empress would be treated as rebellion, leading to the direct annihilation of their Sect.
They believed the Empress possessed both the strength and the resolve to do so!
The Empress herself had at least Tai Xu Realm Cultivation, and by her side were the Tianwu Division, the Imperial Advisor, the Shen Family, and millions of armored soldiers…
Any one of these, picked out at random, was enough to make most immortal Sects obedient.
Therefore, no immortal Sect within the Great Yan territory dared to be so foolish as to directly disrespect the Empress!
No matter what opinions Yuan Lin held in his heart at this moment, after Ji Nan Yuan spoke her second sentence, he could only obediently comply!
Ji Nan Yuan waved her hand at Yuan Lin.
"Old Sect Master Yuan, please sit down."
Yuan Lin remained silent, quietly sitting down.
Fu Huaian looked at Ji Nan Yuan at the head of the table. It seemed she had been too kind to him, causing him to lack some respect for the Empress…
At this moment, Fu Huaian felt that Ji Nan Yuan's Aura of reigning over the world was still very intimidating!
The Shen Family's Enshrined Elder remained calm-faced, indifferent at heart.
Ji Nan Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Yuan Lin again.
"Yuan Qian mentioned yesterday that your Sect intends to join the Tianwu Division?"
Yuan Lin suppressed the emotions in his heart and nodded with a smile.
"You may proceed with the assessment and review. If all goes well, I shall permit this matter."
The Tianwu Division was an immortal Sect force established by the Da Yan Dynasty, mainly composed of Cultivators cultivated independently by Great Yan and joining Sects.
Sects that joined would have their original Sects disbanded, and their Disciples who passed the assessment would directly enter the Tianwu Division!
The advantage was that they would receive the full cultivation support of the Da Yan Dynasty, with extremely abundant resources.
The disadvantage, of course, was that the Old Ancestor's coffin lid might not stay down…
After all, it wasn't easy to build such a grand family enterprise, finding a place rich in Spiritual Qi to establish a Sect, and developing it for hundreds or thousands of years.
If descendants did this, wouldn't that be nonsense…
For Sects joining the Tianwu Division, the court did not demand the original Sect's resources; it was simply that they could only identify themselves as Tianwu Division Cultivators from then on, serving Great Yan, and their original Sect identity would be gone.
As for Cultivation Technique, immortal arts, and various resources, no immortal family force was as abundant as the Tianwu Division.
Therefore, quite a few immortal Sects made decisions that went against their ancestors!
Yuan Lin bowed respectfully.
"Thank Your Majesty!"
For the next period, after quietly sipping some spiritual tea, Yuan Jin stood up, bowed, and left, intending to prepare a lavish dinner.
Ji Nan Yuan nodded, not refusing this kind gesture.
Yuan Jin left the main hall, left the main peak, and returned to his Immortal Cave.
As the Sect Master of the Kuiyang Sword Sect, only now did he dare to reveal the endless rage in his heart!
His face was grim, his eyes chilling.
"Empress? Heh…"
Yuan Jin's Immortal Cave was a spacious stone chamber. He gradually walked deeper, and within his Immortal Cave, there was actually a secret chamber deep within the mountainside!
Boom–
A soft sound of a stone door opening echoed, and Yuan Jin walked inside.
Inside, complex array patterns were carved, serving only one purpose: to shield Aura and conceal heavenly secrets.
In the spacious secret chamber, a man sat cross-legged, with horns on his temples, faint scales on his cheeks, and a robust and powerful physique.
A Yao Race member.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
He looked at Yuan Jin, who had entered, appearing slightly puzzled.
"Why have you come?"
Yuan Jin's attitude was humble.
"The Empress has come to the Kuiyang Sword Sect; she is currently on the main peak."
The Yao Race man's heart stirred, and he abruptly looked up.
"Who did she bring with her?"
"Three Transcendent Realm Cultivators."
The Yao Race man frowned slightly, looking at Yuan Jin.
"Only that? Does that Empress trust your Kuiyang Sword Sect so much? Or is she arrogant due to her Tai Xu Realm Cultivation?"
Yuan Jin nodded helplessly.
"Indeed, there are only three Transcendent Realm Cultivators. My father searched multiple times and did not detect anyone hidden."
The Yao Race man fell into contemplation. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was fleeting and should be seized.
But he always felt that the Empress wouldn't be so foolish, and things were inexplicably smooth.
Earlier, upon receiving news that the Empress had arrived at the Shen Family in Jiangzhou, he began to plan.
He wondered if there was an opportunity to join the Tianwu Division as a spy, or even carry out an assassination!
So he had Yuan Qian lightly test the waters.
But unexpectedly, the next day, she came with only three Transcendent Realm Cultivators.
This… the Yao Race man always felt that something was strange.
He thought for a moment and said to Yuan Jin:
"Don't act rashly yet. Entertain her normally, focusing on joining the Tianwu Division. Assassination is too risky! I will see if the opportunity is right!"
Yuan Jin nodded, and just as he was about to turn and leave, a pleasant voice rang out.
"So cautious, how will anything be accomplished?"
Both men trembled, searching their surroundings!
At the stone door, ripples appeared in space, and a woman emerged.
She was dressed in a white Daoist robe, with peerless beauty.
