Chapter 432 The Clear Sky Sect? It's nothing more than Nezumi in the sewers.
Jun Yi and Yan slowly entered the hall.
Jun Yi's sudden appearance surprised everyone present.
He walked up to Tang Hao and said calmly, " Tang Hao, you did come after all. But your persuasion failed; the three clan leaders have decided to join my Xuejun Pavilion." Tang Hao looked at Jun Yi, a flash of anger in his eyes. " Jun Yi, you actually followed me." Jun Yi smiled slightly. "You're overthinking it. Followed you? Ask the three clan leaders who arrived first."
"Let me guess, was it Ning Fengzhi's arrangement that you two came here?"
"How did you know?" Tang Hao asked in surprise.
" The Clear Sky Sect's return to the Soul Master World definitely requires creating momentum. What the Clear Sky Sect needs to do is first recruit the four major clans it abandoned to avoid criticism. Ning Fengzhi is so smart, he must have thought of this. After all, isn't he already staying with the Clear Sky Sect?"
Jun Yi's smile widened.
Tang Hao's expression changed slightly. He looked at Jun Yi and said coldly, " Jun Yi, what exactly do you want to do?"
Jun Yi said calmly, "I don't want to do anything. It's a good thing that your Clear Sky Sect wants to return to the Soul Master World. As long as your Clear Sky Sect doesn't provoke me, our Xuejun Pavilion won't be your enemy. But you must understand that this world is no longer the world you once knew. The number one sect in the world is a thing of the past, and the Clear Sky Sect? It's nothing more than Nezumi in the sewers."
"You!" Tang San was furious. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes wide with anger, staring intently at Jun Yi.
Tang Hao pulled Tang San back to prevent his son from Wrath, coldly replying, "The number one sect in the world will always be my Clear Sky Sect."
Jun Yi said calmly, " Tang Hao, you don't need to persuade me. I've made up my mind. Our Xuejun Pavilion will accept the three clan leaders and will do our best to help them develop. Moreover, our Xuejun Pavilion will never abandon its own people."
"By the way, please tell Ning Fengzhi that our Xuejun Pavilion has killed all those Evil Soul Master who attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. No need to thank me, it's what we should do."
Tang Hao looked intently at Jun Yi, then glanced at the three clan leaders. He knew he could no longer persuade them. He sighed, turned to Tang San, and said, "Let's go back."
Tang San nodded. He knew his father was downcast, but he also knew that their Clear Sky Sect still had a long way to go. The father and son left Longxing City dejectedly and headed towards Heaven Dou City.
As they continued their journey, Tang San suddenly asked, "Father, can't we really persuade them?"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It's not that we can't persuade them, it's that we can't overcome the resentment in their hearts. They need time to calm down, and our Clear Sky Sect also needs time to prove ourselves."
Tang San nodded. "Father, we will keep trying until they change their minds." Tang Hao looked at Tang San's determined eyes and felt a surge of relief. He knew that his son had grown up and was ready to take responsibility.
"At least, Grandpa Tai Tan is definitely willing to return to the Clear Sky Sect, and there are still some of the four clans willing to return," Tang San comforted Tang Hao.
"Yes, that's a good thing."
"Three clan leaders, this is the token of my Xuejun Pavilion. If you wish to stay in Heaven Dou City, you can take this token to the Heaven Dou Empire to find Brother Xue, who will arrange accommodation for you. If you want peace and quiet, you can go to Gengxin City, which now also belongs to our Xuejun Pavilion," Jun Yi instructed the three.
" Gengxin City? Isn't that the territory of the Blacksmiths' Association?" Bai He asked curiously.
"I bought that city; it cost me fifty million Gold Soul Coin," Jun Yi replied calmly.
"Fifty, fifty million???"
The Bai He was so shocked it almost bit its own tongue. Fifty million Gold Soul Coin —that's an enormous sum!
" Pavilion Master Jun, which city are we going to?" Niu Gao asked.
Jun Yi said calmly, "It's up to you. Heaven Dou City is a good place, a prosperous one, where you'll have no worries about food and clothing. You'll live very well, but you won't have access to the core business of our Xuejun Pavilion. If you want to go to Gengxin City, it might be busier, but you'll have access to Soul Tool. Where you go is up to you; I won't force you."
Bai He glanced at Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, and said calmly, "Let's discuss this further."
"Okay." Niu Gao nodded.
Jun Yi nodded slightly. "In that case, you two discuss it first, I'll be leaving now."
Jun Yi turned to leave, but was stopped by Bai He.
" Pavilion Master Jun, may I have a word with you in private?"
Jun Yi raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Alright."
They arrived at a secluded corner, Bai He looked intently at Jun Yi. " Pavilion Master Jun, I have something I want to say to you."
Jun Yi nodded. "Go ahead and speak."
Bai He looked intently at Jun Yi, "The achievements of our three major sects today are all due to our original aspirations. We have worked tirelessly and strived relentlessly to protect our families, our friends, and our sects, which has led to our current success."
"Just speak your mind," Jun Yi said calmly. Bai He nodded. "The patriarchs of our three major sects have all decided to join the Xuejun Pavilion. However, our three major sects also need to maintain their independence. We hope that with the help of the Xuejun Pavilion, we can restore the traditions of our three major sects, so that our people can regain the glory that belongs to our three major sects."
"That's no problem. As long as you don't do anything that harms Xuejun Pavilion, you can maintain your independence," Jun Yi said calmly.
"That's good." Bai He breathed a long sigh of relief.
At dusk, in the study of the Papal Palace in Spirit City, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing sat in chairs, talking with Bibi Dong.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, is Jun Yi really not with you?"
"He took Yan away early this morning, and we don't know where they went. They haven't come back yet."
" Jun Yi is really something! Zhu Zhuqing and I traveled all this way to come back, and he wasn't even home! I'm so angry!" Dugu Yan said angrily.
"Don't be angry. Jun Yi should be back soon. You must be hungry. I've had dinner prepared. Let's eat together later and then wait for him."
Bibi Dong spoke gently to the two women, displaying the air of a first wife.
"H-Have dinner with you? You are the Pope." Dugu Yan looked flattered. Although she had now inherited the Nine Trials of the Water God, she still subconsciously regarded Bibi Dong as the most esteemed Pope and respected her from the bottom of her heart.
"There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future; the three of us should get to know each other better."
