Inside the Star Moon Sect's mountain range, several elders were gathered together discussing matters.
"I never imagined that our sect leader would be so shameless as to marry that young lad," an old woman with white hair said angrily.
"Alright, Yun Ye, stop with your useless complaints. We're not here to listen to your rants," Yun Tian said from the side.
"Yes! Yun Ye, let's stop talking nonsense and think about what we should do!" Yun He chimed in.
"Quiet down, everyone! I've gathered you all here to discuss whether or not we should cooperate with our sect leader and join forces with the Star Moon Sect."
At this moment, Yun Xian, who was sitting in the center and looked quite dignified, stood up and spoke.
There were two other people who wanted to continue talking about Yun Ye, but they all fell silent when they heard Yun Xian say that.
Actually, they had already received the news about this matter, but they were usually stationed in various states.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that it's almost Chinese New Year and everyone needs to go back to the mountains to report on the situation, they finally have the opportunity to get together.
Furthermore, this group of people doesn't exactly form a stable alliance.
It's just that they've come closer together in recent years because they've united to oppose the alliance between the two factions.
Then, the six Grandmaster and Elders of the Star Moon Sect began to discuss.
All six of them were Grandmaster within the Star Moon Sect who were most opposed to the alliance between the two sects.
Because among the six of them, some had family members, disciples, or younger generations who died at the hands of the Flowing Cloud Sect, while others had masters or lovers who died at the hands of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Most importantly, they had been fighting the Flowing Cloud Sect for so many years, and they themselves had killed many of the Flowing Cloud Sect members.
They were deeply afraid that if the two factions joined forces, they would be purged.
So when they heard that, in order to promote the two unions.
Their sect leader actually chose to marry that hothead Jiang Liu.
This makes their anger understandable.
Although, Jiang Liu is now also Peak Grandmaster.
However, the age gap between the two is an undeniable factor.
Perhaps for the next hundred years or so, Jiang Liu might still spare the people of the Star Moon Sect out of respect for their sect leader.
But what happens after Gongsun Haoyue passes away? Who will continue to protect the Star Moon Sect?
What will happen to their descendants then? Will they just be left to be slaughtered by the Flowing Cloud Sect?
And don't forget, it's Gongsun Haoyue who's now marrying into the Flowing Cloud Sect.
When the two sects unite, the Flowing Cloud Sect will definitely take the lead.
This made it even more unacceptable to the elders.
After all, they don't have the habit of feeling inferior.
Especially when facing the Flowing Cloud Sect, it would be even more impossible.
Unfortunately, none of the dozen or so True Inheritor Disciple of the Star Moon Sect have shown any intention of advancing to the Peak Grandmaster.
Otherwise, they would definitely support that disciple and groom him as the future sect leader, so that they would have a clear goal.
If they can just endure for a few more years and wait for another Peak Grandmaster to appear in the Star Moon Sect, then things will be much easier.
Unfortunately, there is no "what if".
Therefore, they lack the confidence to openly rebel.
After all, the Flowing Cloud Sect now has two Peak Grandmaster.
Moreover, Jiang Liu possessed exceptional combat prowess, capable of single-handedly defeating three Peak Grandmaster and escaping unscathed.
Even if the news is false, it is a well-known fact that Jiang Liu has two Beast Emperor as his tamed beasts.
Therefore, they dare not openly oppose the alliance between the two families, but are just looking for other ways to try and cancel the engagement.
Then, the six people present began to brainstorm ideas.
At this moment, a woman with a gloomy face, no white hair on her head, and who appeared to be middle-aged appeared.
Hesitantly, he said, "Actually, someone has been contacting me these past few days, and I noticed that his voice sounds somewhat androgynous."
This person was Yun He, the one who guarded the prison where the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect was imprisoned in the Star Moon Sect mountain range.
Upon hearing this, the other five people immediately looked up at Yun He, not understanding what she meant.
Only the oldest, Yun Xian, was the first to react, saying, "You mean someone is eyeing those Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect who are imprisoned?"
Yun He nodded and said, "Moreover, these people are very likely remnants of the Great Qian Imperial Family."
Yun Ye, who was standing to the side, suddenly asked, "Did you take bribes from them?"
She knew Yun He's nature very well; he was incredibly greedy and had been planting his cronies all over the Sects to extort money and favors.
Later, when the Sects personally sent people to govern the world, she became even more outrageous, which angered the sect leader, who then transferred her back to the mountains.
Then she was punished by being made to guard the imprisoned Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.
Unexpectedly, even after being punished, this person remained incorrigible and dared to accept even the possessions of the remnants of the Great Qian Imperial Family.
Upon hearing this, the remaining people all looked up at Yun He, hoping she would give them an explanation.
Although they oppose joining forces with the Flowing Cloud Sect, they would never betray their Sects.
Moreover, their grudges with the Haotian Sect are no less severe than those with the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Yun He looked embarrassed, but then her expression changed and she said in a firm tone, "I didn't. I just thought that maybe we could take advantage of this."
Everyone present looked at her with disbelief, but no one said anything more.
Instead, they are all considering the feasibility of this matter.
However, if the Great Qian Imperial Family is used to cause trouble, especially by releasing the Haotian Sect members.
If it is discovered that they did it, will they be accused of treason?
They didn't want to be branded with such a label just for trying to stop the two factions from joining forces.
Because even if they oppose the alliance between the two sects, they would never betray their sect.
Moreover, even if the two sects unite, they do not believe that their sect leader would completely abandon his stance and suppress them.
Therefore, after exchanging a glance, they both shook their heads.
Clearly, everyone disagreed with this idea.
After all, this matter is too big, involving the remnants of two major forces. Once it is discovered, their fate will definitely be terrible.
Then, the group started discussing it again, but after much deliberation, they still couldn't come up with a good solution.
In the end, the only decision was that there was still time, so they would wait until after the new year to see if there was an opportunity to find something else to stop the wedding from taking place.
Afterwards, everyone who had gathered together dispersed.
However, whether intentionally or not, it seems no one has mentioned reporting to the Sects that the Great Qian Imperial Family sent someone to contact Yun He.
That night, a dark figure found Yun He and plotted with her for a long time before leaving.
Soon after, Yun He began to have close contact with the people sent by Wei Jin.
