Chapter 874 - Come With Me
After a moment of silence, Bai Enjue spoke up, "Even if you\'re gone, what about her? What if she seeks revenge in the future? We cannot take that risk."
Yuan chuckled at his words, "No way. She won\'t do something like that."
"And we\'re supposed to just take your words for it?"
"How about this then?"
Yuan turned to look at Li Jinxi before asking her, "Hey, want to come with me? We\'ll ascend together. The fact you came to this place for entertainment must mean that you\'re already bored of this realm. I can\'t say that I\'m surprised though. You\'re really strong, after all."
Li Jinxi\'s eyes widened slightly after hearing Yuan\'s suggestion.
"You… want me to follow you?"
"Yes. I can guarantee you that there will be plenty of stronger magical beasts for you to fight up there. You\'ll be able to fight to your heart\'s content."
Li Jinxi silently stared at Yuan for a few moments before nodding her head, "Okay, I will go with you."
"Then it\'s decided."
Yuan returned to looking at the Sect Masters and continued, "As you all just heard, she will be ascending with me. There should be no problems now, right?"
"Do you really think—" Sun Hao opened his mouth to speak.
However, Yuan quickly interrupted, "You should really think twice before you finish that sentence, Sect Master. I have been holding back long enough. If you continue testing my limits, I will stop being so nice."
Seeing Yuan\'s serious and cold glare, Sun Hao swallowed nervously and forgot what he was going to say.
\'He\'s serious! If we continue to push our luck, he might really slaughter his way out of here!\' Sect Master Li cried inwardly.
If Yuan could easily handle all of them at once and with ease, he had no doubt that Yuan would also be capable of dealing with the disciples waiting for him outside.
\'A Sect Master can easily be replaced since there is only one person for that role, but if a large population of disciples suddenly dies at once, it would deal almost irreversible damage to a sect that would take hundreds if not thousands of years to fix!\'
"Alright, we\'ll forget about today\'s incident." Sect Master Li said out loud.
"W-What?! You can\'t be serious!" Sun Hao snapped to look at him with a shocked face.
"If you want your disciples to die a pointless death, you\'re more than welcome to do so. However, I will not let my disciples be part of it even if it\'s the last thing I do!"
"I just told my disciples to return to the sect." Sect Master Xiahou suddenly stepped forward and announced while showing Yuan the communication jade slip.
"The disciples of the Heavenly Academy never left the sect, so we should have any disciples here." Senior Nie said to Sect Master Li, who nodded his head in approval.
"I\'ll also call my guys off…" The other Sect Masters eventually gave up.
In the end, only Sun Hao remained indecisive.
"What is this nonsense?! I thought we\'re supposed to help each other! That is the purpose of our alliance that has stood for thousands of years!" Sun Hao yelled at the other Sect Masters.
"How dare you bring up such bullshit after we risked our lives to fight him with you, Sect Master Sun? You should know better than that!" Sect Master Li immediately roared back.
"Sect Master Sun, while we are obligated to help each other during times of need, it does not mean we must sacrifice ourselves to do so." Sect Master Xiahou said.
"Sect Master Sun, you need some rest, as you\'re clearly not thinking straight right now." Bai Enjue sighed.
When the rest of the Sect Masters rebuked Sun Hao\'s stubbornness, it infuriated him. However, there was nothing he could do. He knew that there was nothing he could do against Yuan by himself.
In the end, Sun Hao raised his white flag and commanded his disciples to return to their sect.
"I\'m leaving!" Sun Hao also left the place immediately after, as he didn\'t want to stay in that place for another second.
"We\'ll contact you again later for a proper meeting, Sect Master Sun." Sect Master Li said to him right before he entered the portal and disappeared from the place.
"It should be clear outside now." Senior Nie created a portal and said to Yuan.
"Let\'s leave now, shall we?" Yuan turned to ask Li Jinxi, who nodded in a dazed manner.
Yuan proceeded to leave the place with Li Jinxi and Xiao Hua following behind him.
"Senior Nie, tell us everything you know about him." Sect Master Li said in a serious voice after they left.
"I don\'t mind, but I also don\'t really know much about them. However, there is one thing that I can say for sure."
"What\'s that?"
"He\'s from an extraordinary background with connections to some very powerful people. Do you remember the Flood Dragon\'s Scale that I recently purchased? The owner and seller of that scale called him \'Young Master\'."
"What?!"
The Sect Masters there were shocked to learn this information.
"You said that he came from the Lower Heavens, right? How can he possibly have such connections? Unless he\'s actually from the upper heavens but purposefully traveled to the Lower Heavens, that\'s impossible. However, why would he do such a thing?" Bai Enjue said.
Senior Nie shook his head, "The more talented they are, the less we understand them. It\'ll be for the best if we don\'t question it and just accept things as they are."
"The bigger question now is… What should we do after all this? I\'m also worried about Sect Master Sun. He suffered the most today, after all." Sect Master Xiahou sighed.
"We can talk about that later. For now, we need to return to our own sects and explain the situation to our disciples." Sect Master Li said.
The Sect Masters agreed, and they all left the scene shortly after.
