Chapter 1236 - 1240: Decision (Part 2)
Chapter 1236: Chapter 1240: Decision (Part 2)
"Good!" Yue Chan said.
She had long wanted to return and ask her junior sister why she did that.
Wasn’t master good to her?
Besides, she was never particularly interested in the position of Sect Leader.
Even in the future, if the master passed the position to her, she would still give it to her junior sister.
Of course, she hadn’t told her junior sister that.
After all, the master had Innate strength and was only in his sixties.
Given the two-hundred-year lifespan of someone at Innate strength, the master still had a long time to serve as Sect Leader.
That was why she hadn’t rushed to tell her junior sister.
Moreover, on usual days, the two maintained a good relationship.
So she never treated this matter seriously.
However, perhaps this was not the reason.
No matter what, she had long wanted to go back and get clarity.
If everything Sister Qin knew and speculated was true, then she absolutely wouldn’t forgive Yue Ying.
"No!" Leng Qin refused, "You can’t go back."
"The past few days, I’ve been forcing you not to return, is that not clear enough?"
"Going back is like walking into a death trap!"
"You only have a chance if you first break through to Innate, and then to Mid-Innate."
She then turned her gaze to Princess Consort Le, "Elder Le, although you’ve already broken through to Innate, and this young friend beside you is also Innate."
"But, I think you still shouldn’t return."
"Why?" Princess Consort Le glanced at her, not understanding why she said that.
Lin Xi and Red Moon also shared the same confusion.
With two Innates, shouldn’t they be able to ensure their safety?
Besides, Yue Chan and Leng Qin were not weak, probably second only to the strength of Innates.
In fact, Yue Chan’s strength was the best among those below Innate.
She alone could handle several of the same level without issue.
With the strength of these five, could there possibly be danger in going to the sect to find out what truly happened?
It’s known that some in the sect are on Yue Chan’s side.
Even if it is announced that Yue Chan killed the Sect Leader.
They might not completely believe it.
After all, Yue Chan never appeared.
With Yue Ying’s followers, aside from the twelve with Red Eyes, and those guarding key areas, the sect could likely deploy no more than ten Peak Soldier Kings.
No more than twenty Advanced Soldier Kings.
Regarding Innate members in the sect, most are either secluded or not present at the sect.
This group is relatively old, so they aren’t very invested in the sect.
Since the people they were close to and younger members dear to them are no longer in this world.
Or at least, seldom at the sect.
Even if there were two or three Innates, with Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le there, things could be managed.
Of course, they don’t know the specifics of Lin Xi’s strength.
If they knew he could handle Mid-Innate individuals, then no one would try to stop them from going back.
Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Leng Qin said, "Because I spent a lot of time around the Sect Leader, I know there are at least three Innates ready to appear in emergencies."
"And there’s a ninety percent chance they’ll act according to the Sect Leader’s wishes."
"Moreover, there’s the man I just mentioned."
"A man!"
"Even though our sect never forbids members from romance with men, never has there been a man entering the sect without the Sect Leader’s consent."
"And that time, I knew for sure the Sect Leader didn’t approve a man’s entry into the sect."
"Which means this man entered secretly."
"The key thing is, this man is Innate!"
Innate?
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Le and the others were stunned.
Innate!
They hadn’t particularly noticed earlier.
Because in the entire Secret Realm, not a single man in smaller sects ever reached Innate strength.
As for civilians, even less.
So where did this person come from?
This answer is almost self-evident.
"Other Secret Realms?" Red Moon asked.
Leng Qin nodded, "It should be."
But immediately, she looked at Lin Xi, "Or maybe not."
"It’s just unknown how that person is related to Yue Ying."
"I know for a fact that Yue Ying never left the Secret Realm, shouldn’t have any ties to the outside world."
As she said this, the recovered Yue Chan also looked puzzled.
Red Moon did as well, especially since she’s been at the Secret Realm’s entrance recently.
No one has entered the Secret Realm.
As for before, she wasn’t sure.
Back then, it seemed they were Yue Ying’s people.
Could it be then?
She thought to herself silently, it was very possible!
Unexpectedly, Yue Ying was colluding with outsiders.
This was intolerable for them in the Leqing Sect.
Several hundred years ago, the Leqing Sect nearly faced extinction due to people from other Secret Realms.
Ever since, their interaction with other Secret Realms has been sparse.
One could say they’ve developed independently.
Princess Consort Le glanced at Lin Xi, clearly unwilling.
If they go, it might be just as Leng Qin said, they might be trapped there.
After all, no one knows how many are neutral, and how many support Yue Chan.
"Are we really not going?" she murmured.
She could risk death, Yue Chan could too, or even Leng Qin wasn’t afraid of dying.
But Yue Chan was the Sect Leader’s closest person.
Also her closest.
If she were to die there, Princess Consort Le figured she wouldn’t dare face the Sect Leader in the afterlife.
However, not to go, truly left her unwilling.
"Alright, I’ll go alone!" she said coldly, deciding right then.
"Why, Elder Le?" Leng Qin asked puzzled.
Why walk into certain death.
If not going, in a few years, if Yue Chan reaches Innate, everything would have turned.
The sect would also be less vigilant by then.
Everything would have an opportunity to change.
And revenge needn’t be rushed.
Princess Consort Le said, "I want to ask her, why she did it!"
Silent until now, Yue Chan also stood up, saying, "Elder Le, I’ll go with you!"
Simultaneously, she didn’t let Leng Qin speak, saying again, "Sister Qin, don’t persuade me anymore, you know how I’ve been suffering these days."
"If I don’t clarify things, I’ll find it difficult to break through to Innate."
"So, I’ll go with Elder Le this time."
Leng Qin saw her determined look, laughed bitterly, "Let’s go together."
Red Moon then said, "I’ll go too!"
Initially reluctant, as she started neutral in the sect.
But now, if she doesn’t go, danger bothers her...
