A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2273 - 1536: A Jumbled Mess

This made Zhu Yu Yan furious; if it weren’t for the news from Peony Building arriving at that moment, she would have rushed to Duanmu Huai to settle the score of life and death.

"Master, please calm your anger."

Wan Wan hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuyan and whispered.

"In Wan Wan’s view, it is unwise to become an enemy of the Undying Slaughter God. I beg Master to deliberate carefully."

"What? Do you think our Yinkui Sect cannot defeat that guy?"

"This... Please forgive Wan Wan for speaking directly; that is indeed the case."

Wan Wan hesitated for a moment but decided to speak the truth.

"Although Wan Wan was wronged by that fierce man, it was not without any gain. In fact, from Wan Wan’s perspective, the rumors that the Undying Slaughter God is a Heavenly Person Descending may not be without foundation but actually true."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan furrowed her brows.

"What do you mean by this?"

"To be honest, after capturing Wan Wan, the Undying Slaughter God opened an Immortal’s dwelling in the void and took Wan Wan inside. Inside was just like the scenes described in painted opera, splendid and magnificent as if it were a heavenly palace. The area was vast beyond measure, and it was definitely not some kind of illusion or imagery. Moreover, after Wan Wan came out the next day, she saw the Undying Slaughter God closing the entrance with just a wave of his right hand... Such incomprehensible deeds are beyond human capacity."

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan fell into deep thought. If someone else had said this, she would have taken it as nonsense. However, since Wan Wan said it, it gave Zhu Yuyan pause for careful consideration.

"Moreover, the Undying Slaughter God also openly told Wan Wan that the ideal goal of the Holy Sect is not wrong, but only by doing things the right way can you achieve the right results..."

"What? Are you saying we did something wrong?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan glared at Wan Wan, who promptly lowered her head.

"Wan Wan wouldn’t dare. Wan Wan just feels that now that the plans of Cihang Jingzhai have been thwarted, and the Undying Slaughter God seems displeased with them, he might cause trouble. In this situation, Wan Wan believes the Holy Sect could support one side and justly compete for dominance of the world. To be honest, after listening to the Undying Slaughter God’s words, Wan Wan is deeply alarmed and uneasy, constantly feeling that even if our Holy Sect seizes the world using the current methods, achieving the Holy Sect’s wishes might not only be difficult but could also invite catastrophe."

"You... Kneel!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan angrily stood up, slapped the tea table, and shouted, causing Wan Wan to hurriedly kneel on the ground, not daring to speak further.

Zhu Yuyan stood in front of Wan Wan, closed her eyes, and remained silent for a long time. Only after a sigh did she sit down again. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"You say this cannot be done, that cannot be done, then what do you propose should be done?"

"This..."

Faced with Zhu Yuyan’s inquiry, Wan Wan had no words for a time. The ways of the Demon Sect have always been unscrupulous, defying all taboos. This was originally a rebellion against Confucianism, but it has now completely evolved into anti-human and anti-social terrorism. Both Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan are accustomed to this set of rules, and now asking Wan Wan to figure out a way to change it all, she truly can’t think of one.

"Perhaps... Wan Wan might ask the esteemed Undying Slaughter God for guidance? In Wan Wan’s view, he is not opposed to the ideals of the Holy Sect, he might have a solution?"

"... Give it a try."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Yuyan let out a breath, silently closed her eyes. She is not one to be lenient, yet facing Duanmu Huai, even someone like Zhu Yuyan finds it challenging to deal with him for the time being. On the one hand, Wan Wan’s warning was unexpected for Zhu Yuyan; on the other hand, Demon Master Pang Ban’s reemergence poses a major threat to the two factions and six paths of the Demon Sect. Everyone knows Pang Ban is ambitious and aims to unify the Demon Sect, with his first targets being Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan, so Zhu Yuyan can only... decide based on the situation.

"Please teach me, sir."

These were Wan Wan’s first words as she appeared like a ghost before Duanmu Huai and knelt in front of him.

"Teach you, teach you what? Trigonometric functions? I don’t even know those."

Upon hearing Wan Wan’s seemingly random talk, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Please teach me the method to break the Holy Sect’s stalemate, if successful, Wan Wan is willing to offer herself... and will not hesitate to die a thousand times."

"You say that as if you have a choice in the matter."

Duanmu Huai gave a light snort and laughed softly. Even now, Wan Wan attempts to manipulate him, but Duanmu Huai didn’t take it seriously at all. In front of Duanmu Huai, where is Wan Wan’s power of choice? It’s still a matter of what he wants her to do, she must obediently comply.

"But I do like the phrase ’offer oneself’... Alright, I’ll just casually tell you a bit. Of course, whether you love to hear it or not is your business, nothing to do with me."

If Wan Wan dared to say something like being a cow or a horse in the next life, Duanmu Huai would flip out and kick her around immediately; his ears have calluses from hearing such clichés. However, considering Wan Wan’s so tactful, Duanmu Huai didn’t mind saying a few words; after all, it’s just hot air, whether it would work out had no bearing on him, right?

Saying this, Duanmu Huai coughed, and Wan Wan hurriedly rose to offer Duanmu Huai a cup of tea.

"Actually, from my perspective, you Demon Sect folks are a bunch of idiots."

Duanmu Huai took a sip of tea and started by outright dismissing the entire Demon Sect.

"I actually know about your history; ’abolish the hundred schools, honor Confucianism alone,’ you lost, then you were marginalized, and then you formed the Demon Sect’s two factions and six paths, wanting to regain your original status, to return to the era of ’a hundred schools contending,’ right or not?"
