Chapter 1676: Chapter 1676: My Sect

As soon as Lan Peiyu spoke these words, Huo Zhenying trembled all over, an unbelievable expression on his face.

The high-ranking members of Yunhai Sect present were also moved, feeling that the Sect Master was too harsh in punishing Xiao Lian.

Zhuang Ling frowned slightly, thinking that he was ordered to come for the marriage alliance, and if Xiao Lian were executed, it would be difficult to explain to He Linfeng, the Sect Master’s son.

Inside the grand hall, there was a deathly silence, and the heavy atmosphere was suffocating.

“Alian, are you afraid?”

Fang Bai turned his head to the side and asked Shi Xiaolian, who was standing next to him.

Shi Xiaolian slightly smiled, showing no trace of fear on her face, and softly replied, “With Brother Fang here, Alian is not afraid!”

Fang Bai patted her small hand and said, “Rest assured, I’m here, and no one can hurt you!”

He turned his head and locked eyes with Lan Peiyu, sneeringly saying, “Sect Master Lan, may I ask: Was your Martial Dao partner also forcibly designated by the previous Sect Master?”

“You’re courting death!”

Lan Peiyu’s pupils contracted, her gaze sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce through Fang Bai’s body, while a trace of Thunder Tribulation Expert’s pressure bore down on Fang Bai.

Lan Peiyu was a second realm Thunder Tribulation Expert. The pressure she emitted was immensely powerful, and if it were any other Soul Severing beginner martial artist, they would have been crushed.

But Fang Bai seemed completely unaffected, instead stepping forward with a loud voice, “Sect Master Lan dares not answer my question, which means the answer is no! I ask you, Sect Master Lan, if it’s something you’re unwilling to do yourself, why force Xiao Lian to do it? Where is your conscience?”

Lan Peiyu had been the Sect Master of Yunhai Sect for decades, controlling tens of thousands of disciples under her command, with immense power and a formidable reputation, never had she been questioned so aggressively. Her anger flared, and a killing intent suddenly arose.

Huo Zhenying knew that if he didn’t speak up now, Fang Bai and Shi Xiaolian would be bloodied in the hall. He hurriedly said, “Sect Master, please don’t act rashly, listen to me first…”

“What more is there to say? Elder Huo, are you reluctant to act?”

Lan Peiyu said coldly.

Huo Zhenying smiled bitterly and said, “The Sect Master may not know, but back in Danxia City, Han Dongweng of the Blue Sea Sect and his disciple Yang Heng insulted Shi Xiaolian. Afterwards, Fang Bai took action and killed the master and disciple… Regardless, Fang Bai did help us vent our anger. If we kill him and word gets out, what will others think of us?”

As soon as Huo Zhenying said this, all the high-ranking members of Yunhai Sect at the scene gasped simultaneously, looking at Fang Bai.

Even Steward Zhuang of Danxia Manor was shocked and incredulous.

They all knew Han Dongweng, one of the four Great Elders of the Blue Sea Sect, with a cultivation level at the first realm of Thunder Tribulation.

And this Fang Bai before them, with cultivation level only at the beginner stage of Soul Severing, although his martial artist aura indicated his combat power was much higher than his cultivation level, no one dared to imagine he could actually kill Han Dongweng.

After all, their cultivation levels were a whole major realm apart!

In the path of Martial Dao, the strength gap of a major realm is like heaven and earth!

Huo Zhenying also knew that his words were hard to believe, and solemnly said, “Sect Master, what I said is absolutely true! Please think it over carefully!”

Her meaning was to hope that Lan Peiyu would not kill Fang Bai, so as not to damage the reputation of Yunhai Sect.

In fact, another layer of Huo Zhenying’s meaning was that Fang Bai, at such a young age, being able to kill a first realm Thunder Tribulation Expert, his identity and background should not be underestimated.

If Fang Bai came from a more powerful sect and was killed by Lan Peiyu, it would be a disaster for Yunhai Sect.

Only then did Lan Peiyu realize that she had been too impulsive before. She forced herself to calm down and looked at Fang Bai again, her eyes filled with seriousness and contemplation.

“Xiao Lian, this friend of yours… what sect does he come from?”

Lan Peiyu pondered for a moment before asking, her tone much more relaxed than before.

Huo Zhenying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Fang Bai and Shi Xiaolian were temporarily safe. He glanced at Zhuang Ling, finding that he was also staring at Fang Bai with flickering eyes and a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lan Peiyu’s previous ruthless words had already made Shi Xiaolian somewhat disheartened toward Yunhai Sect. She replied indifferently, “My Brother Fang…”

She originally wanted to say that my Brother Fang is unaffiliated, a loose cultivator, but Fang Bai interjected, “I come from the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.”

Shi Xiaolian exclaimed, “Huh?” She turned her head curiously and asked, “Brother Fang, what sect is the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace? When did you join?”

Fang Bai grinned and said softly, “This sect is something I recently established. In the future, our friends and family from the mortal world will all become its disciples. What do you think, isn’t the name grand?”

Shi Xiaolian nodded with a smile, “Mm, very grand! But what does Nine Heavens mean? What about Immortal Emperor?” Follow current novels on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Fang Bai said, “In legend, the Immortal Realm has nine heavens, so the Nine Heavens refer to the Immortal Realm. As for Immortal Emperor, it’s the most powerful existence in the Immortal Realm. I named the sect Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to imply that in the future, we can all ascend to the Immortal Realm and achieve the Immortal Emperor Position!”

Zhuang Ling snorted coldly and said sarcastically, “What arrogance! In the vast world, only one can achieve the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations out of a hundred thousand Thunder Tribulation Experts, and to successfully transcend them is a rarity among millions. Aspiring to ascend to the Immortal Realm is no easy talk!”

Shi Xiaolian glared with beautiful eyes, pointed at Zhuang Ling without politeness, and said, “You’re really something, aren’t you? Was I talking to you with Brother Fang? You’re so annoying!”

Zhuang Ling, being reprimanded by a junior in public, could not help but become sullen. If it weren’t for considering that this girl might become his Manor Master’s son’s Martial Dao partner in the future, he would have risen in anger and refuted on the spot.

“At such a young age, you’ve already created your own sect? How many disciples does your sect have?”

Lan Peiyu couldn’t help but find it amusing to hear that Fang Bai had founded his own sect and appointed himself as Palace Master. She thought establishing a sect wasn’t that easy. Although the name of Fang Bai’s sect was grand, whether it could continue to exist and be inherited was another question.

In the current vast world, which major sect with a bold name doesn’t have a Thunder Tribulation Expert overseeing it? Which renowned sect doesn’t have a millennia-old heritage and foundation? Which one doesn’t have thousands upon thousands of disciples protecting it?

Fang Bai smiled indifferently and said, “My sect currently doesn’t have many people, but in the future, there will be more. Within ten years, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace will likely become the number one strong sect in this vast world of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the great hall, except for Shi Xiaolian, was dumbfounded, and then their expressions turned colorful, each unable to hold back laughter as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
