You came out ahead!
Seeing the angry roars and righteous indignation in the eyes of these Sanyang Sect Cultivator, Gu Yuanqing almost thought he was the real Villain.
They never imagined that what Gu Yuanqing was doing today was simply what they had done before.
Gu Yuanqing wouldn't feel guilty about it. In this world where strength reigns supreme, being kind to certain people will only make you seem weak and easily bullied.
He said calmly, "The Sanyang Sect is one of the top three Sect in the Exquisite World, possessing the Misty Forest and three Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine. Do you think you can treat us like beggars? I only wanted to fish peacefully in the Boundless River. It is you who want to fight me. Since you have done this, you must bear the consequences. What do you say, Sect Master Baili?"
Baili Jinghong said expressionlessly, "Ten Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine? Isn't that asking for too much?"
Gu Yuanqing suddenly smiled, "Why don't you think about it differently? If you become my enemy, it's like the Sanyang Sect needs a Yin-Yang Realm Cultivator to guard against me at all times, making it impossible for them to do anything. I've heard that the Sanyang Sect and the Wuchen Sect have a long-standing feud, and a major war between the Sect might break out at any time. If you add me to the mix, I wonder how much of a chance your sect has? If you settle your grudges with me, it's like the Sanyang Sect gains another Yin-Yang Great Cultivator. Exchanging a mere ten Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine for a Yin-Yang Realm Cultivator should be a win for you!"
Baili Jinghong's lips twitched. Is this how the accounts are settled?
But without a doubt, Gu Yuanqing's words hit the nail on the head. Their grudges with the Wuchen Sect had been long-standing, and a battle was inevitable sooner or later. If someone with the surname Gu were added to the mix, no one knew what would happen then.
Moreover, if the Wuchen Sect knew that the Sanyang Sect had a Yin-Yang Great Cultivator causing trouble, they would certainly not hesitate to take advantage of the situation and make a move.
A Yin-Yang Great Cultivator has a huge impact; he could even change the situation in the Exquisite World.
All these factors are precisely why Baili Jinghong decided to let the matter rest even though Pei Yutang had just been killed.
Although this would cause the Sanyang Sect to lose face, it is nothing compared to the Sect's safety and future.
Zhuang Hanhai stood three zhang behind Baili Jinghong, remaining silent.
This was a humiliation for the Sanyang Sect, and it was the same for him. But in the battle just now, he still managed to defeat Gu Yuanqing with the help of Ancient Artifact Law Treasure, so they had no bargaining chips left.
Within the within the Exquisite World, the Sanyang Sect, with its Sect foundation, is confident it can face no fear. In the Ancient Realm, this man surnamed Gu wouldn't be able to break into the Sanyang Sect, and in a direct confrontation, he might not necessarily lose.
However, a Yin-Yang Great Cultivator is always ready to launch a sneak attack is terrifying.
Judging from what has happened before, this person is not exactly known for following the rules.
Moreover, his Lifespan is less than a thousand years, so he will probably have difficulty making further progress, while the other party's origins are unknown, and it seems that he has only recently achieved Yin-Yang.
They are currently empty-handed. If they wait for their cultivation to advance further and they find suitable Ancient Artifact and magical Law Treasure, the Sanyang Sect will never have a peaceful day in the Ancient Realm.
"Have you thought it through? Give me an answer, whether it's war or peace. We're all Cultivator, so be straightforward. This isn't a marketplace where you have to haggle. If you can accept it, I'm too lazy to get entangled with your Sanyang Sect. If you can't accept it, then fine, let's see who has the best ability!" Gu Yuanqing's tone was calm, but his words revealed that there was no room for negotiation.
He, not the Sanyang Sect, is now in control!
After a long silence, Baili Jinghong said, "Give me three days."
The Sanyang Sect Cultivator hesitated to speak, but since it was a decision made by the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder was present, it wasn't their place to interrupt.
Liu Ruiyuan also separated a Divine Soul and entered the Ancient Realm. He looked at this scene, opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Gu Yuanqing gazed intently at Baili Jinghong.
Baili Jinghong said, "Our sect has no intention of making an enemy of you. It's just that we don't have that many Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine in our Sect. We'll need some time to go to the Medicine Valley to pick them."
"Alright, I'll give you three days to Divine Soul Great Medicine. Return my Storage Bag first."
Baili Jinghong turned around and transmitted a few words telepathically.
A moment later, a Celestial Person being flew into the air, coldly looking at Gu Yuanqing, then raised his hand and waved, sending out a Storage Bag.
Gu Yuanqing accepted it calmly.
"I will come again at this time three days from now."
After speaking, Gu Yuanqing's figure slowly disappeared into the air.
Only the members of the Three Sanyang Sect were left standing in mid-air.
After a long while, Zhuang Hanhai suddenly left without saying a word.
Baili Jinghong took a deep breath, turned around, and said in a deep voice, "Notify all Celestial Person Cultivator and True Disciple, except those in seclusion, to come to the Pure Yang Hall at Third Quarter of the Chen Hour tomorrow."
Gu Yuanqing found a spot in the Misty Forest to rest and recuperate.
Even with his abundant Vital Energy far exceeding that of ordinary people, the battle against the Yin-Yang Realm expert still took a toll on him.
This is not North Spring Mountain; there is no Spirit Qi Pool Infusion to Empowerment the pool. It will take time to circulate your Cultivation Method to recover.
In the Pure Yang Hall.
The Sect Hall Master, Protector, Peak Master of the Seven Branches, Elder of each peak, and True Disciple were lined up.
Baili Jinghong glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, you must have heard about what happened yesterday, right?"
Discussions and buzzes arose in front of the main hall.
Some were filled with righteous indignation, while others shouted, "Sect Master, we are willing to fight this man surnamed Gu to the death to avenge Senior Brother Pei. We will never suffer such humiliation!"
"That's right, Sect Master. At worst, one dies!"
Among the group of Cultivator, only one person stood silently in the corner, his face pale – that was Chen Baotian.
Regardless of the outcome, so many people in the Sect have been harmed, including Pei Yutang, who is dead. He and his disciple Zhuang Tianlai can be said to be the cause of this incident.
Even though the people in the Sect seemed to wish they could die with that man surnamed Gu, they all knew perfectly well how much they secretly resented him.
Baili Jinghong looked around before slowly saying, "This is Humiliation of Sanyang Sect, and also a disgrace to me. But for the Sect to continue and develop, sometimes compromise is necessary. This is because our Sanyang Sect is powerless against him. This has happened under my Baili Jinghong, bringing shame to the Sect. I have no face to continue serving as Sect Master Position. Elder and Protector, please discuss and recommend someone suitable to succeed as Sect Master Position. Give me your answer before the Sect's sacrificial ceremony in ten years."
Although the battle was very Motion and Stillness, because the Sanyang Sect's Residence located deep in the Misty Forest, not many Cultivator came here. Only a few Cultivator were trying their luck in the Misty Forest witnessed the battle from afar.
However, these people were only at the Celestial Person level, and they couldn't tell that this was a battle between people at the Yin- Yin-Yang Realm level of the Exquisite World.
Therefore, the events that happened to the Sanyang Sect are currently unknown to outsiders.
But they knew that this matter would get out sooner or later.
Prior to this, the Exquisite World was quickly drawn to another piece of news.
"Baili Jinghong is abdicating!"
"Really?"
"It is said that he is about to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm and needs to focus on cultivation, having no interest in worldly affairs, so he has stepped down to yield the position to a more worthy successor."
