Showmanship Must Be Thorough

"Did you hear? Senior Apprentice Brother defeated Mo Wu, the Mo Family prodigy, with just one punch and one kick. That was incredible!"

"What? Really? Isn't Senior Apprentice Brother only a One-Star Dou Shi? Mo Wu's cultivation is far beyond that. How did Senior Apprentice Brother do it? Tell me all about it..."

After Yun Shenwei defeated Mo Wu, quite a stir arose within the Yun Lan Sect. Countless disciples gathered in small groups to discuss the matter.

As for Yun Shenwei himself, he could not be bothered with what others said. At this moment, he was taking Nalan Yanran around to relax and enjoy themselves.

In the blink of an eye, only three days remained until the Yun Lan Sect Disciple Competition.

As the hosts, Yun Shenwei and the other disciples were required by the elders to decorate the Yun Lan Sect. They could not let those affiliated factions laugh at them.

Over these past few days, more and more families affiliated with the Yun Lan Sect had arrived. They were generally led by family elders and brought several talented young men and women from their clans.

Because of these families' arrival, the once relatively quiet Yun Lan Sect became lively. Sparring matches occasionally broke out between the families' younger members and Yun Lan Sect disciples. Of course, so long as things did not go too far, the elders could not be bothered to interfere.

"You brat, I heard you made Mo Wu, the Mo Family prodigy, kneel a few days ago?"

On the Back Mountain of Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun stood atop a mountain peak and asked.

With the Yun Lan Sect Disciple Competition drawing near, as the sect leader, she naturally had to understand the circumstances of her sect's geniuses.

"Oh, you know about that too? Sigh, it was nothing much. Just a few cats and dogs, not worth mentioning at all."

Yun Shenwei casually spoke as he looked at the misty clouds below.

"That is good, but Sister still needs to remind you that Gu Ming of Pill King Gu He's family is no ordinary opponent. You must be careful."

Yun Yun did not mind the youth's attitude. Instead, she reminded him with concern.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Yun Shenwei nodded. "After this competition ends, I hope Sect Leader can send someone to take Nalan Yanran and me to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement."

His gaze remained fixed on Yun Yun. After all, breaking off an engagement was no minor matter. It was clearly inappropriate for juniors like Yun Shenwei and Nalan Yanran to do it themselves. They needed a Yun Lan Sect elder or someone of even higher status to lead them.

"Mm. Since Sister agreed before, I will not deceive you or Yanran. However, after the competition, Sister has urgent matters to deal with and cannot personally take you there. I will have Ge Ye, the Steward, accompany you instead. As for the Nalan Family, I will have the Second Elder make a trip on your behalf to act as a mediator."

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Sister, you are not planning to go to the Monster Mountain Range, are you?"

Yun Shenwei sensed that something was off and instinctively asked.

"Mm, how did you guess? Could it be that you are the worm in Sister's stomach?"

Yun Yun stepped forward, rubbed the youth's cheeks, and asked with a smile.

"This..."

Yun Shenwei did not know how to respond. Countless thoughts raced through his mind.

He remembered that in the original story, Yun Yun first appeared in the Monster Mountain Range. Yet the current timeline seemed different from the original. Could his appearance have caused a butterfly effect?

It should not be possible.

What exactly was going on?

Yun Shenwei thought for a long time but still could not figure it out. He simply made a decision. "Sister, you cannot go to the Monster Mountain Range. There is an Amethyst Winged Lion King inside that excels in sealing techniques. Even a Dou Zong could be sealed if they were careless, and once sealed, it would take half a month to break free!"

Not giving Yun Yun a chance to question him, Yun Shenwei continued, "The old senior who gave me the Heavenly Flame once mentioned that the Monster Mountain Range also has a Joyous Union Ape. It likes young and beautiful cultivators like Sister best. If Sister is accidentally sealed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, that Joyous Union Ape will definitely come looking for you, hehehe..."

As Yun Shenwei spoke, his tone gradually changed.

"Fine, we will do as you say."

Yun Yun thought for a long time before finally agreeing to the youth's request.

At the same time, in a quiet area of the Yun Lan Sect, Pill King Gu He was speaking with a handsome young man.

The youth was tall and bore some resemblance to Gu He. He was none other than the Gu Family's prodigy, Gu Ming.

"Uncle need not worry. I have defeated no fewer than twenty people like him over the years."

Gu Ming crossed his arms, looking utterly confident.

"Mm, of course Uncle knows your strength. It is just that this fellow possesses a special Heavenly Flame, so you must be careful."

Pill King Gu He continued, "Before the competition, Uncle will join the elders of the other families in applying to change the rules. If we succeed, that brat will not be able to use his Heavenly Flame. That will greatly increase your chances of victory."

After considering it again and again, Gu He discussed the matter with Gu Ming for quite some time...

Elsewhere, within the Mo Family's temporary residence in the Yun Lan Sect.

The Mo Family elders were busy conducting final checks on their younger members.

"Wu'er, how is the transplanted Demonic Ape Arm?"

Inside the room, a sinister elder spoke.

"It is very strong. With the Demonic Ape Arm, I am certain I can place in the top three in this competition!"

Mo Wu twisted his arm. At this moment, he no longer looked like a normal human. His entire body radiated the aura of a magical beast, while his right arm was incomparably hideous. Upon closer inspection, it had clearly been transplanted from some powerful magical beast!

Beside him stood another young man. This person's legs resembled those of a lizard, and scales grew along his arms, making him utterly terrifying.

"This time, even the Yun Lan Sect disciples' greatest geniuses will not be able to stop us!"

The young man said sinisterly. As he spoke, a horrifying light shone from his eyes. Those were clearly not eyes a human should possess!

Time passed swiftly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

Gongs and drums resounded throughout the Yun Lan Sect, and every corner was bustling with excitement. Young disciples could be seen everywhere with eager expressions, for today was the Yun Lan Sect's annual Disciple Competition. It could be called a grand occasion for the Yun Lan Sect disciples.

The many disciples made their way to the Martial Arts Arena in an orderly fashion. Along the way were many people dressed in all kinds of clothing, clearly scions of the families affiliated with the Yun Lan Sect.

Yun Shenwei rose early in the morning. Hearing the lively sounds of gongs and drums outside, he felt extremely excited.

Thus, he changed into a Zhongshan Suit exchanged from the Multiverse Shop, admired himself in the mirror, and did not forget to put on sunglasses before leaving.

"Today, I have to look flashy and let the affiliated families know how formidable I am."

Yun Shenwei thought it over and felt that merely wearing a gorgeous outfit was not enough. If he was going to show off, he had to go all the way and leave those affiliated families utterly stunned!

It just so happened that he still had plenty of unused Hate Points. He could take this opportunity to exchange them in the Multiverse Shop for some props to show off with.

With a spark of inspiration, he opened the Multiverse Shop.
