After Wang Tiangu's Nascent Soul escaped, Wen Min and Ancestor Linghu descended to the ground. At the sight of two middle Nascent Soul stage cultivators appearing together, no one dared meet their eyes, and everyone bowed respectfully.
Ancestor Linghu waved a hand, glanced at Lin He with some surprise, then let his gaze linger on Lan Chou for a moment.
Wen Min turned to the Yan Family Ancestor. "Fellow Daoist Yan, for Ruyan's sake, I will let this matter rest. But Wang Chan must die!"
Facing Wen Min, the Yan Family Ancestor had no right to refuse. He sighed, but his words were firm. "The Ghost Spirit Sect wounded so many cultivators of our Yan Family. Death is no more than they deserve. Ruyan, kill Wang Chan at once!"
Yan Ruyan no longer hesitated. Seeing this, Wang Chan roared curses at the Yan Family, but in the end, Yan Ruyan beheaded him with a single stroke, leaving him well and truly dead.
Only then was Wen Min satisfied. With that stroke, Yan Ruyan had delivered the Yan Family's pledge of allegiance to the Covering Moon Sect.
Once they killed Wang Chan, there could be no lingering threads tying the Yan Family to the Ghost Spirit Sect. Their only choice was to bind themselves wholeheartedly to the Covering Moon Sect's great ship.
The Yan Family Ancestor also knew enough to hand over Wang Chan's storage bag. Wen Min accepted it without ceremony, and only then did her tone soften somewhat.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, now that the Yan Family has offended the Ghost Spirit Sect, you must immediately pull back your forces. Yan Family Castle must also relocate into the Covering Moon Sect's territory as soon as possible. Only then will you be safe."
The Yan Family Ancestor hurriedly nodded his agreement.
