Refusal

"Hmm? You're going to disobey orders?" The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow, his imposing presence radiating authority.

"No, no!" True Person Yun Hai chuckled awkwardly, sitting back in his original seat, his heart filled with disappointment.

If we miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to go to the Yang Household with True Person Yunting again, since the Luochuan Sect is about to enter a state of war preparedness.

The Grand Elder glanced at him, then looked around at the other elders, his gaze sweeping back and forth between True Person Tianyun and a Middle-aged Cultivator before he spoke, "Are you two confident that you can break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm in a short time?"

True Person Tianyun was taken aback, then shook his head. "I only recently broke through to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. The chances of me breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage are too low!"

"Wanying, what about you?"

The middle-aged man, also known as True Person Wanying, thought for a moment and said, "With the help of the Spirit Transformation Pill, I should have a 40% chance of breaking through."

"Spirit Transformation Pill..." The Grand Elder sighed. If given time, it wouldn't be difficult for the Luochuan Sect to obtain a Spirit Transformation Pill.

Unfortunately, True Person Beigong's death was too sudden, and the Grand Elder was also severely injured and lacked the strength to purchase the Spirit Transformation Pill, making him vulnerable to being intercepted and killed.

"The Mountain and River Palace should have some Nascent Soul Pills in stock. I'll contact Fellow Daoist Shi Chong to see if we can buy one. In the meantime, you should adjust your state and prepare for your breakthrough," the Grand Elder instructed.

"Yes, sir!" True Person Wanying was somewhat excited. With the help of the Spirit Transformation Pill, he would have a 40% chance of breaking through, which was already quite high. Many Spirit Transformation cultivators only had a 20% or 30% chance of breaking through.

After the elders dispersed, the Grand Elder flipped his right hand, and the Luochuan Banner appeared in his palm.

Gently stroking the Law Treasure that had been with him for many years, the Grand Elder's expression was complex, and finally, all of this turned into a long sigh.

An emergency meeting was held, Luochuan Sect entered a state of combat readiness. Thanks to its outwardly relaxed but inwardly tight defense strategy, it was difficult for outsiders to detect anything unusual in the short term.

At Great White Residence, Yunhua met with True Person Yunting had come seeking help.

She still held this Uncle in the highest regard, because, from a familial standpoint, True Person Yunting had not done anything to wrong Yunhua.

After her second grandfather Zhen Leizi, passed away, it was True Person Yunting who protected Yunhua.

In addition, there is his nephew Yun Zhan, who also shows great respect to Yunhua.

Eighty percent of Yunhua's remaining feelings for the Luochuan Sect were directed towards the Yun Household members, led by True Person Yunting.

"Uncle, is there anything important that brings you here?" Yunhua asked knowingly.

There are some things that require a certain attitude.

Her surname is Yun, that's true, but now she's Yang Household Member, and everything has to be considered from the perspective of the Yang Household's interests.

Although Yunhua could have been more willful given Yang Tianyou's feelings for her, she didn't; that's Yunhua's principle.

"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. The little girl has grown into a qualified leader." True Person Yunting looked at his niece, who possessed both dignity and elegance, and was filled with emotion.

"Thanks to your guidance and protection, Uncle, I will always remember this kindness," Yunhua with a faint smile.

"I suppose you've heard the rumors circulating outside?"

"I've heard about it, but it's just some people's idle tricks. Senior Beigong was Spirit Transformation cultivator, how could he suddenly perish for no reason?" Yunhua shook his head slightly, pretending not to believe the rumors.

True Person Yunting gave her a deep look and said, "It's true, the sect leader has indeed perished!"

"What?" With a clatter, the teapot in Yunhua's hand fell onto the table. Fortunately, True Person Yunting reached out and caught it, otherwise this pot of Fourth Tier Spirit Tea would have been wasted.

"How is this possible? Didn't Senior Beigong just show up a few days ago? How could he have suddenly perished?"

"The incident didn't happen within the sect, it happened in the Chaotic Sea!" When he said the last few words, True Person Yunting deliberately deepened his tone.

For some reason, he always felt that True Person Beigong's death was related to the Yang Household.

After all, everyone knows that the Eight Desolations Arena, one of the overlords of the Chaotic Sea, is a staunch ally of the Yang Household. It wouldn't be difficult for the latter to kill a Spirit Transformation cultivator in the Chaotic Sea.

However... recalling that troublesome Heavenly Dao Contract, True Person Yunting, like the Grand Elder, automatically filtered out the Yang Household, feeling that he had been overthinking things. How could the Will of Heaven and Earth and Earth be so easily deceived?

"The Chaotic Sea?" Yunhua looked surprised, her beautiful face filled with doubt as she asked, "What is Senior Beigong going to the Chaotic Sea for?"

"To purchase Wound-Healing Pills!" True Person Yunting did not hide anything.

If you want the Yang Household's support, you should tell them the truth; that shows sincerity.

Moreover, in his view, the news of True Person Beigong's demise could not be kept secret for long. The Zhou Household would definitely send someone to test the waters, and once Luochuan Sect weakened, many things would not need to be said openly.

"Wound-Healing Pills... it seems the Grand Elder is seriously injured!" Yunhua's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

True Person Yunting wasn't surprised; it would be strange if Yunhua treated the Grand Elder so mildly.

Without further ado, True Person Yunting got straight to the point, informing Yunhua of the sect's request for support from Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Yunhua looked helpless and said, "Uncle, it's not that the Yang Household won't send troops, it's just that we're too busy."

The Water God Dao Soldiers must guard the Lineage; otherwise, if the enemies from the Four Symbols Legacy come looking for us, we'll be in danger.

As for the Fifth-Tier Low-Grade War Flying Vessels, they will be stationed on the frontier. Since the defeat at Iron Lion Ridge, the Iron Lion King has been quite unruly, so we must remain vigilant at all times.

Whether True Person Yunting believes it or not, there's a ready-made excuse, and none of the Yang Household's Spirit Transformation cultivators can be touched.

Upon hearing this, True Person Yunting frowned. Although he was disappointed, he wasn't too surprised.

If the Luochuan Sect is unrighteous, then they cannot blame others for being unjust.

However, he still wanted to try, True Person Yunting continued to plead.

Yunhua naturally declined tactfully, but in the end, out of True Person Yunting, she donated a batch of War Law Artifacts to the Luochuan Sect. The value of these artifacts was considerable, enough to satisfy True Person Yunting's demands.

Before leaving, Yunhua specifically instructed, "Uncle, remember to preserve the Lineage and leave room for a comeback."

Listening to his niece's meaningful words, True Person Yunting slowly nodded.

Many things don't need to be explained too clearly; everything is understood without words.
