The Joyous Union Sect's Glimmer of Hope? San Miao's Choice!

[Jin Ping'er--]

[As a direct disciple of the Joyous Union Sect and a personal disciple of Three Marvels Fairy, she dwelled in darkness but yearned for the light. Unwilling to fall into depravity, she encountered the 'Azure Cloud Sect Leader' by chance and received his salvation, struggling free from the darkness...]

[Afterward.]

[With the help of the 'Azure Cloud Sect Leader,' she obtained Lady Golden Bell's complete legacy from eight hundred years ago. Using that legacy, she founded a new sect, named--]

[Xuanzha Sect!]

"Boom--"

As the evaluation upon the Heavenly Curtain slowly appeared, everyone was stunned.

They had never expected that the 'Ping'er' mentioned by the Azure Cloud Sect Leader was actually a disciple of the Joyous Union Sect!?

For a time, the many Qingyun Disciples before Yuqing Hall broke into discussion.

Looking at the evaluation appearing on the Heavenly Curtain, their hearts were filled with shock...

A demoness of the Joyous Union Sect?

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.

She held little fondness for this sect, for the Joyous Union Sect was one of the Four Great Sects of the Demonic Sect. Its disciples were all demonesses, and they cultivated the wicked art of Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin...

Why did Ye Changfeng have ties to a Joyous Union demoness?

At that thought, Lu Xueqi glanced at Ye Changfeng from the corner of her eye.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Changfeng seemed to sense it.

He turned back and met Lu Xueqi's gaze, roughly guessing what she was thinking.

But he did not feel the slightest bit guilty.

Instead, he openly stared at Lu Xueqi several times...

What did the things done by the future 'Ye Changfeng' have to do with him?

A faint flush rose to Lu Xueqi's pretty face.

Sensing Ye Changfeng's gaze continually roaming over her, she immediately lowered her eyes somewhat awkwardly. After all, she was still only a maiden, no matter how cold and detached she appeared...

It could not conceal the fact that she was an unmarried young woman.

At this moment, quite a few Qingyun Disciples around them were discussing the matter.

They were also debating this question.

The dignified Azure Cloud Sect Leader

actually had connections with a Joyous Union demoness?

He had even helped her establish a new sect?

Did this new sect belong to the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path?

That was certainly intriguing.

Outside Yuqing Hall, the Seven Peaks' Masters frowned slightly.

They were likewise surprised by the information revealed on the Heavenly Curtain.

However...

the matter was still understandable.

True Lord Daoxuan pondered briefly.

Then he said, "It is said that eight hundred years ago, the Joyous Union Sect was not a Demonic Path sect, but a relatively neutral sect. Its founding master, Lady Golden Bell, was also a renowned independent cultivator. She never committed evil in the Cultivation World and even did quite a few good deeds..."

Eight hundred years ago, the war between the Righteous and Demonic Paths swept across the entire Divine Continent, and many homeless commoners suffered amid the flames of war.

Lady Golden Bell lamented the hardships of the People of the World.

In the end, she founded the Joyous Union Sect and took in many homeless girls from respectable families...

Unfortunately, with Lady Golden Bell's passing, the Joyous Union Sect's legacy was severed. Left with no choice, it eventually strayed onto the wrong path and gradually evolved into one of the Four Great Sects of the Demonic Sect.

Tian Buyi nodded slightly and said, "From the looks of it, this Xuanzha Sect should belong to our righteous lineage, not some lewd and wicked sect like the Joyous Union Sect."

"Correct."

True Lord Daoxuan nodded slightly.

After all, the Heavenly Curtain had made it clear from the very beginning.

The 'Azure Cloud Sect Leader' was the Leader of the Righteous Path, a towering figure of the righteous faction. How could he possibly do things without distinguishing right from wrong!?

Hearing this, the many Qingyun Disciples around them came to a sudden realization.

So the Joyous Union Sect had such a history? They had thought that the Joyous Union Sect had always been part of the Demonic Path!

Lu Xueqi came to a sudden realization.

No...

However, at that moment, a vague sense of wariness suddenly rose in her heart.

What sort of relationship would this Jin Ping'er have with Ye Changfeng in the future? It couldn't be that kind of relationship, could it...

Lu Xueqi shot Ye Changfeng a suspicious glance.

"Hmm?"

Ye Changfeng noticed the Cold and Aloof Girl's gaze.

He blinked innocently.

Same as before...

What did the nonsense future Ye Changfeng got up to have to do with him!?

"Boom—"

The Heavenly Curtain revealed Jin Ping'er's deeds.

Her evaluation had yet to fully conclude, but the entire Demonic Path had already fallen into intense turmoil, especially the Joyous Union Sect...

"What!?"

"Senior Sister Jin is actually connected to the Azure Cloud Sect Leader?!"

"She's the Sect Leader's Personal Disciple!"

"A direct disciple of the Joyous Union Sect actually betrayed the sect that raised her in the future?"

"Ridiculous!"

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

"In my opinion... the Joyous Union Sect's future destruction must also be inseparably connected to her!"

Many Joyous Union Sect disciples were exceptionally furious.

Some even suspected that the Joyous Union Sect's future destruction was inseparably connected to Jin Ping'er.

For a time, the entire Joyous Union Sect fell into an uproar.

They all headed toward the main hall, intending to find Three Marvels Fairy and protest, hoping she would execute the traitorous Jin Ping'er...

At the mountaintop, Jin Ping'er stared blankly at the evaluation in the Heavenly Curtain.

Was this her future?

But...

She didn't even know any Azure Cloud Sect Leader at all!?

At this moment, Three Marvels Fairy's gaze flickered slightly.

Upon seeing the evaluation in the Heavenly Curtain, she finally understood where the Joyous Union Sect's 'sliver of hope' lay. It turned out to be with Jin Ping'er...

To be honest, as the Joyous Union Sect Leader of this generation, she had long seen that her sect had begun to decline. The Joyous Union Sect's inheritance had now been severed, it had no orthodox cultivation methods, and its sect treasure, the Joyous Union Bell, had vanished without a trace, making it impossible to unlock the inheritance...

Even if it was not destroyed in the future...

To keep surviving, they could only choose to attach themselves to someone else!

Right now.

The information revealed in the Heavenly Curtain

showed Three Marvels Fairy an entirely new path.

This was Joyous Union Sect's one chance at survival.

In summary—

There was no future in staying with the Demonic Sect!

Only by cleaning up their name and going legit could they have a future!

"Ping'er."

Three Marvels Fairy looked fervently at the White Dress Maiden beside her. After all, Jin Ping'er was the key to Joyous Union Sect "going legit."

In the future, the Xuanzha Sect founded by Jin Ping'er

was, at its roots, actually Joyous Union Sect.

It was just that...

it was not the present-day Joyous Union Sect.

Rather, it was the orthodox Joyous Union Sect from eight hundred years ago!

"Master."

Jin Ping'er had thought she would be blamed.

She had already obediently shut her eyes, prepared to receive her punishment.

But who would have thought...

Three Marvels Fairy did not blame her.

"Ping'er."

"Joyous Union Sect's future depends on you."

Three Marvels Fairy reached out and gently stroked the maiden's head.

"Huh?"

Jin Ping'er looked utterly bewildered.

Depends on who?

Me?

Three Marvels Fairy patiently explained, "Though I do not know what sort of person the future Azure Cloud Sect Leader is, judging from the information revealed in the Heavenly Curtain, your relationship with him is definitely far from ordinary..."

"In the future."

"If you meet him,"

"then leave with him."

Jin Ping'er froze slightly. "Master..."

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted not far away.

"Sect Leader, please punish Jin Ping'er severely!"

"Punish the traitor severely!"

Hearing this, Three Marvels Fairy's expression suddenly darkened.

P.S.: There will be another update around midnight tonight!
