For a long time, there was no sound from inside the hall.
Perfected Chongyue and Heguang True Cultivator exchanged a glance, both becoming tense.
The person before me is a top-tier True Person on par with the Supreme Clarity Palace Master!
If she is unwilling to come forward, all of their previous plans will have to be abandoned!
In the end, it was Heguang who couldn't hold back any longer.
She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Valley Master, that letter was sent out after a collective discussion within the valley."
"You've personally reviewed its contents."
"The situation has changed now; we can't just change our attitude..."
As he continued speaking, Heguang True Cultivator's previous toughness had actually diminished.
After all, if Ye Li were to come and confront her, the first one to be pushed to the front would undoubtedly be her, the one who wrote the letter!
The Zi Yue Valley Master raised his head, glanced at her, and suddenly chuckled:
What's your rush?
"I'm not going to push you away over this."
"I'm just thinking about how to respond."
The words had been spoken.
The gentle Daoist aura emanating from her suddenly changed.
The Zi Yue moonlight hanging outside the hall completely stopped.
The Immortal Essence within Perfected Chongyue's body paused slightly, and he subconsciously straightened his body!
That undisguised, majestic aura made him truly realize just what level of existence this Valley Master was!
Like the renowned Three Continents Palace Master Yuchen and the Supreme Clarity Palace Master—
The final, elusive hurdle lies just away from the realm of True Lord!
With things having progressed to this point, the Valley Master of Zi Yue Valley Master had made up her mind.
Go back down...
For the many matters concerning the various families of the Green Luo Continent, it's probably best to consult Ye Li first.
I'm afraid that by then, even the [Divine Source] sent by the Outer World next time will not be available for Zi Yue Valley to distribute!
This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate!
Since Ye Li is determined to persist, there's nothing more to say.
The best way to deal with a stray dog that lunges at you and tries to bite you is to kick it to death!
"Valley Master, you are wise!"
Chongyue sensed the boundless divine power emanating from ahead and said:
"I propose that we keep the person here first, and then have the alliance conduct an internal investigation."
"The souls he controls also need to be restrained beforehand, lest they act recklessly once they arrive!"
Heguang True Cultivator was also relieved, and then nodded and said:
"Furthermore, his overstepping of authority in handling the case and his unauthorized killing of cultivators within the alliance should be listed and communicated to all members."
"We should also inform the Supreme Clarity Palace."
"If they continue to tolerate Ye Li, we will have no choice but to contact those senior figures outside and ask them to uphold justice!"
The two spoke in quick succession.
The Zi Yue Valley Master listened for a moment, then pondered for a while.
Taking advantage of this lull, Master Heguang True Cultivator turned to look at the still-continuous Communication Transmission and spoke up:
"Fellow Shoujing, what do you think?"
"You previously agreed with regulating Ye Li, so surely you should have some thoughts on this now?"
True Person Shoujing's brow twitched slightly.
She initially wanted to politely decline, not wanting to get involved in these matters any further.
But as the words were about to come out, she suddenly remembered Ye Li's previous response, so she pursed her lips and said:
"There is something I think I should pass on to you all."
"What?"
"Ye Li said at the time--"
True Person Shoujing looked at the people in the hall and, mimicking Ye Li's tone from that day, slowly said:
"The Green Luo Continent Alliance Association: We'll cooperate or not, it's up to us."
"If you have any complaints about me, then join forces and write another document, choose a suitable location, and let me know."
"I will personally visit you then."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of both Perfected Chongyue Heguang True Cultivator changed.
Where does this still indicate a lack of cooperation?
Judging from Ye Li's posture, he was probably already prepared and just waiting for them to come looking for him!
What gives him the right to be so arrogant?!
The Zi Yue Valley Master was also slightly surprised.
After a few breaths, she chuckled softly:
"Since he's said so, let's do it that way."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Perfected Chongyue and added in a calm tone:
"Chongyue, didn't you want Zi Yue Valley to take charge of this matter? Fine."
"But I have conditions."
"Please speak!"
Perfected Chongyue felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly asked the question.
"Go and unite the Dao Lineage that have objections to Ye Li's actions, draft a document, and then have them send representatives to gather at Zi Yue Valley."
The Zi Yue Valley Master said calmly:
"At that time, I will represent the Green Luo Continent Alliance Association and invite Palace Heir Ye to come and discuss the details."
"You don't need to worry about anything after that; leave it to me."
"Good!"
Perfected Chongyue was overjoyed and quickly cupped his hands in greeting!
With the Zi Yue Valley Master stepping forward and all the families expressing their support, this is simply the best solution!
Representatives from various Dao Lineage will gather at that time. Even if Ye Li has some opinions about the Mountain-Subduing Sect, he will first have to make his point clear to the Zi Yue Valley Master.
Even if things don't go well... it's still better than staying inside the Mountain Gate and waiting for them to come knocking on our door!
He struggled to suppress the overwhelming joy welling up inside him, and tentatively asked:
"However, I'm afraid I'll need to borrow your name for this matter."
"Otherwise, relying solely on the reputation of my [Mountain-Subduing Sect], some Dao Lineage might not agree..."
The Zi Yue Valley Master nodded casually and said:
"Heguang, you can go with him."
"Yes!"
Heguang True Cultivator also felt as if he had survived a calamity, and immediately accepted the order.
After the Communication Transmission was sent out.
The two also took their leave and hurriedly departed from the main hall.
"Call..."
The Zi Yue Valley Master slowly withdrew his boundless immortal aura and looked at Cheng Yanhui behind him.
Seeing that the woman's face was still somewhat pale, she chuckled softly:
"Were you scared?"
Cheng Yanhui hesitated for a moment, then honestly whispered:
"This disciple... is indeed a little scared."
"The Cheng Family did some things to secure a spot at the Dao-Nurturing Pool."
"If Ye Li follows the list to my home, I am worried..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A hand gently landed on her shoulder.
The Zi Yue Valley Master's voice softened again, yet it carried a weighty depth that she couldn't ignore.
"Rest assured.
"Now that you have become my disciple, as long as you remain loyal to Zi Yue, you need not worry about these matters."
"But..."
Cheng Yanhui was still full of worry.
The Zi Yue Valley Master raised his hand to her lips, stopping her from saying anything more, and smiled confidently:
"This is Zi Yue Valley, Ye Li can't beat me here."
Cheng Yanhui raised her head.
Looking at her master, who stood before her with a solemn and dignified air, like a god, her tense mind finally relaxed slightly.
Yes.
This is Zi Yue Valley, the most prestigious Dao Lineage in the Green Luo Continent!
I'm already a direct disciple of the Valley Master, so what is there to be afraid of?!
Thinking of this, she gripped the waist token tightly, bowed solemnly, and said:
"Thank you, Master. I understand!"
