Chapter 495: Chapter 415: Instructor Ye, Why Is There a Green Glow Above Your Head?

Looking at the enchanting woman in the sky, Su Yuan’s eyes turned dazed.

The worst-case scenario he had anticipated indeed happened.

No, Teacher Taibai, you’ve just become the Sect Leader for less than three days, and you’ve already attracted the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect?

This is truly a top-tier bad luck constitution!

And the opponent’s cultivation has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage... tell me, how much credit do you have in this? Are you an inside agent sent by the Joyful Union Sect?

Shocked as he was, Su Yuan was also quite relieved.

He was relieved that he didn’t rashly invite Teacher Taibai into the Primordial Sect, otherwise, the Primordial Sect, which only had a mere five thousand fate points, would likely be ruined within a month.

Of course, now is not the time to complain about these things, the first thing that needs to be dealt with is undoubtedly resolving the issue of the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect.

But how to deal with the opponent?

With the true strength of Taibai Phecda, taking down the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect is no big deal, but then what?

Wouldn’t the identity of Flame River be exposed?

We can’t just say Flame River also "coincidentally" broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, right? That’s too much of a coincidence.

If such a coincidence really happens, do you think the Governor of Cold Plum World, who backs the Joyful Union Sect, would pay special attention to the Flame Evil Sect until this Demon Sect is thoroughly investigated?

So in the upcoming battle, our side absolutely cannot use strength beyond the Golden Core Stage.

But the odds of a Golden Core defeating a Nascent Soul are understandably... very slim.

Unless one possesses the Primordial Dao and Divine-Created Outer Pill at the Golden Core Peak, only then could they defy the odds and defeat a Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, the conditions do not allow this.

Su Yuan’s mind raced with thoughts but couldn’t come up with a suitable solution, so he silently shielded Teacher Taibai in front of him, waiting for him to step in.

At this moment, Taibai Phecda was also clearly perplexed.

Just arrived at the novice village without even fighting any proper wild beasts, and a mid-stage BOSS shows up at the door, how does one play this game?

After a long silence, Taibai Phecda slowly said:

"Ruan Pingcui, although there have been some conflicts between us, there’s no deep-seated hatred that requires us to make things so extreme, right?"

"How about this, to congratulate you on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I’m willing to offer a hundred robust disciples of the Flame Evil Sect, in hopes that our two factions can coexist peacefully."

The surrounding disciples of the Flame Evil Sect: "..."

Good Sect Leader, reincarnate in the next life with... What a joke!

Everyone knows the Joyful Union Sect is a place that devours people whole; no man who entered ever came out complete.

While it’s true one might experience extreme pleasure inside, they’d much prefer to stay alive.

In the end, Sect Leader, you unhesitatingly sold us out?

You’re something else, you’re noble!

Truly fits the characteristics of the Demon Sect!

Sect Leader Ruan Pingcui of the Joyful Union Sect was evidently not expecting Flame River to surrender so cleanly, her expression stunned.

But the next second, she chuckled charmingly and said:

"Sect Leader Yan, what boldness, but compared to a hundred robust young men, I’m still more interested in you."

"I won’t make it difficult for you; just stay in my boudoir for seven days and nights. If after seven days and nights you can still walk out my door, the grudges between us will be brushed aside."

"And don’t think of it as a grievance for you, after all, I’m a Nascent Soul Cultivator; countless men wish to dual cultivate with me, yet don’t have the door for it."

Taibai Phecda: "..."

This Sect Leader Ruan is excessively fixated on Flame River, it seems there’s no easy resolution.

Seeing Flame River fall silent, the coquettish smile on Ruan Pingcui’s charming face grew more pronounced.

She pointed to Ye Muyu and the two lolitas, speaking with a playful tone:

"Sect Leader Yan, I hope you reconsider before answering."

"You wouldn’t want me to capture both your wife and daughter, making them watch helplessly as you, an incompetent husband and father, are with someone you don’t like, would you?"

Goodness gracious, this rhetoric is intense!

It’s undeniable that dual cultivation practitioners are something else.

It’s wonderful, even our Cold Plum World has our good times.

While Su Yuan gazed sympathetically at his teacher, he was wildly complaining inwardly.

However, amidst the standoff, a highly viable solution emerged in Su Yuan’s mind.

Perhaps the Joyful Union Sect could be destroyed without revealing one’s true identity.

With this thought, Su Yuan immediately condensed his voice into a line, transmitting his thoughts to Taibai Phecda.

After listening, the latter’s expression turned somewhat peculiar, giving Su Yuan a sideways glance filled with an expression of "are you sure."

Su Yuan nodded lightly but firmly.

With no other means to break the impasse, Taibai Phecda took a deep breath and resolved to grit his teeth and execute Su Yuan’s plan.

He lifted his head, gazing intently at Ruan Pingcui:

"Sect Leader Ruan, you use my wife and daughter to threaten me, if I just submit, how can I trust you won’t go back on your word?"

"Oh? Then what do you propose?"

Ruan Pingcui asked with a playful tone.

Taibai Phecda solemnly said:

"I wish to withdraw from the Flame Evil Sect and pass the position of Sect Leader to my wife, who will then orderly withdraw the entire Flame Evil Sect."

"During this period, I will join the Joyful Union Sect, but I will be ready to fight to the death at any moment. Only when they reach a safe place will we discuss matters related to dual cultivation."

Ruan Pingcui’s alluring eyes narrowed slightly, suspiciously:

"Would you be so kind? From what I know of you, as long as there’s a chance to survive, you’d sacrifice the entire Flame Evil Sect without hesitation."

Taibai Phecda was well-prepared for this question.

He gently ruffled the head of the white-haired Lolita, a trace of warmth flickering in his eyes:

"People always change, especially when they have a soft spot. There are always things that are more important than one’s own life."

Ruan Pingcui chuckled softly:

"Family ties are such a terrifying thing, dulling one’s heroic spirit. But what if I refuse?"

Taibai Phecda responded without hesitation:

"Then it’s a fight to the death, and no one will benefit."

As a powerful Golden Core Peak cultivator, Flame River’s strength surpassed that of Ruan Pingcui when she was at her Golden Core Peak.

Even if she advanced first, with her unstable realm, she had no courage to engage in a life-and-death battle with Flame River.

Such a battle would lead to serious injury at the very least, not to mention losing an excellent Furnace Cauldron.

Moreover, Ye Muyu didn’t seem easy to deal with either. Who knew if this couple might have some killer dual-sword technique?

After pondering for a moment, she nodded:

"Okay, I agree to your terms, but you must come with me now, and we’ll keep an eye on each other."

"Without my action, even if the Joyful Union Sect mobilizes the entire sect, it won’t take Flame Evil Sect down anytime soon. This should put your mind at ease."

"Alright."

Taibai Phecda nodded solemnly, taking the Sect Leader Token from his waist and handing it to Ye Muyu beside him.

"Ta... Husband, are you really going into that dragon’s lair and tiger’s den?"

"We should bear the burden together, don’t take it all on yourself!"

Ye Muyu’s beautiful eyes filled with anxiety, her tone urgent.

Taibai Phecda pushed the Sect Leader Token into Ye Muyu’s hands, showing a very forced smile:

"Take care of the children, don’t worry, everything will be fine."

With that said, he shook off his wife’s hand, ignoring the two children trying to run into his arms, decisively flying up, leaving with the enticing demoness of the Joyful Union Sect, Ruan Pingcui, and disappearing into the night sky.

Left behind was only his wife standing there, hating herself for her powerlessness.

...Of course, all of this was just an act.

It wasn’t a dragon’s lair, nor was it forced, nor was his wife powerless...

"Once Teacher Taibai resigns, the crisis within the Flame Evil Sect should be resolved. The power of the Destiny Black Hole Constitution is that immediate,"

Su Yuan thought secretly:

"Now that Teacher Taibai has turned to join the Joyful Union Sect, as long as he can last a few more days, the negative effects of the Destiny Black Hole Constitution will fall on the Joyful Union Sect."

"At that time, the Joyful Union Sect will surely face the threat of destruction, and the reason for their downfall will be perfectly reasonable; no one will suspect Flame River."

"In this way, wouldn’t a Demon Sect with a Nascent Soul Stage expert be easily dealt with?"

"The progress of conquering the Cold Plum World could advance by at least 10%... After all, there are likely fewer than ten Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Cold Plum World."

Indeed, it was Su Yuan’s idea for Taibai Phecda to cease resistance and infiltrate the enemy camp!

As they say, you don’t need a blade to kill, and who said conquering worlds must be done by force?

"Hmph, Teacher Taibai hasn’t even tapped into 1% of his potential; I’ll need to mentor him more in the future to ensure his talents aren’t wasted."

Su Yuan sighed.

However, the idea wasn’t without its flaws.

He glanced at Instructor Ye, who was dazedly looking in the direction Taibai Phecda had left.

Instructor Ye, why does it seem like there’s a green light shining above your head?

Su Yuan felt a little guilty.

He cleared his throat and walked over to Ye Muyu, saying:

"Instructor Ye, you don’t need to worry too much about my master; he’ll be fine."

"Moreover, in a day or two, I’ll arrive here as a Celestial Patrol Envoy. I’ll look after you and Flame Evil Sect and work to quickly overthrow the Joyful Union Sect."

Ye Muyu turned to Su Yuan, speaking in a faint tone:

"Having you as a disciple is Teacher Taibai’s good fortune."

Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, sensing there were layers to Instructor Ye’s words.

He cleared his throat again, quickly saying:

"Well, it’s getting late, I’ll return to the Celestial Patrol Bureau now; see you in two days."

Having said that, he quickly pulled out his communication earphone and contacted Chen Nuoyi.

The next second, Su Yuan’s figure vanished from where he stood, returning to the official residence.

Facing the inquiries from Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan, Su Yuan recounted his experiences at Flame Evil Sect and devised the next plan.

The plan was to set off for the Xianghan Mansion, where Joyful Union Sect and Flame Evil Sect were located.

The following day, Su Yuan paid a visit to Mei Qingquan.

He expressed his intention to travel light and quick to Xianghan Mansion, to catch those corrupt officials off guard.

During this period, they mutually refrained from mentioning the untouchable dirt on the governor sent over the previous night.

And the banner Su Yuan waved was not to investigate the Joyful Union Sect, but to investigate those corrupt officials.

In this, Mei Qingquan offered strong support.

Under the tacit understanding of the two major figures in the Cold Plum World, Su Yuan, along with Chen Nuoyi and two others, set off lightly, rapidly heading toward Xianghan Mansion.
