Shu Jianyue ignored him and instead looked at Ai Chong, asking, "What can I do for you two as you grace our Supreme Divine Palace with your presence?"

"I wouldn't dare. I've come to apologize for what happened to my Uncle-Master Zhen," Ai Chong said, taking out a storage ring.

"Here are 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Please accept them, Shu Jianyue."

This was given entirely according to the redemption quotas previously allocated to those sects.

This is because they thought that just because they could redeem people before, they couldn't do the same thing again?

Shu Jianyue glanced at it and said, "Sect Leader Ai, do you think this matter can be resolved with just an apology and a formality?"

"What instructions does Palace Master Shu have?" Ai Chong stared straight at her, hoping in his heart that she would show mercy.

Although their Tiande Sect has four grandmaster uncles, losing one is equivalent to losing a helper. Moreover, he cannot let the Supreme God Palace remember this grudge. If the God Lord of the Supreme God Palace really wants Tiande to pay the price, the Upper Realm may not offend this God Lord of the Upper God Realm just to help them.

You should know that people who come down from the Divine Land are all respectfully addressed as Divine Lord. But being addressed as such doesn't necessarily mean they are truly Divine Lords. Moreover, they are incomparable to the Divine Lords of the Upper God Realm; they are not even in the same league.

Shu Jianyue took out a glass of juice and drank it. "I once said that if anyone dares to come to the Supreme God Palace to cause trouble again, I will make sure they never leave."

"How could I go back on my word, right?"

Ai Chong couldn't bring himself to give up on Ai Meizhen, since her coming to the Supreme Temple was with the consent of the other three grandmaster uncles.

If he were to truly abandon her, not to mention anything else, even the elders of the sect would not be willing.

Ai Chong thought for a moment, glanced at his grandmaster who had come with him, and then looked at Shu Jianyue with a pained expression, saying, "Palace Master Shu, the Tiande Sect is willing to exchange two spirit stone mines for Grandmaster Zhen. Is that acceptable?"

Shu Jianyue shook her head without thinking, "I am not interested in spirit stone mines, and I do not believe that today's matter can be compensated by a mere two spirit stone mines."

In the past, I might have been tempted, but not now.

The Supreme Temple has been completed and is on track. The spirit stone mine in the valley is also being mined, and the spirit stones being mined are even better than expected.

With the addition of the gold-digging rats, finding two mines won't be a problem at all.

It all depends on whether he's willing or not.

After being reprimanded by Shu Jianyue, Ai Chenxing, the grandmaster uncle of the Tiande Sect who was secretly observing her, asked, "So what do you want? Are you trying to make us pay for the entire Tiande Sect?"

That's not a pleasant thing to hear.

"Heh, of course not. I look down on the Tiande Sect." Shu Jianyue stood up and looked at Ai Chong, then said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave. Don't use the guise of apologizing to disgust people."

Ai Chong immediately stood up, walked up to her and said, "Palace Master Shu, my grandmaster uncle is unaware of the situation, so his words may not be pleasant to hear. Please forgive him."

"This is our fault, could you please be lenient?"

Shu Jianyue was slightly moved when she saw Ai Chong's back bent. The once high and mighty Sect Master of Tiande Sect, who didn't even give face to the God Lord, was actually bowing down in front of her.

This phenomenon made her even more eager to absorb energy and improve her cultivation.

Shu Jianyue twitched her fingers slightly and helped him up, saying, "Sect Leader Ai, there's no need for this. You're not the one who did something wrong."

"I will not let her go. If I do it once, someone else will come to the Supreme God Temple to make their presence known in a few days. I don't want to let her go.

"However, I can spare Tiande Sect once, but I hope I won't catch them a second time." Shu Jianyue said, glancing at Ai Chenxing.

This person doesn't look like someone who's going to stay put. He won't make any moves now, but you never know when he might make a move against the Supreme Temple.

Ai Chong wiped the sweat from his brow and asked, "Is there really no other way to show leniency towards Grandmaster Zhen?"

“It’s intolerable. What she did will not only be punished by me, but by the entire Supreme God Palace.” After saying this, Shu Jianyue walked out of the hall.

As he walked out of the main hall, he added, "Ai Chong, keep an eye on your Tiande Sect people. If they come again, I won't give you any more face."

If he hadn't bent down, she wouldn't have given him that courtesy.

Upon hearing this, Ai Chong immediately looked at Ai Chenxing and saw him staring straight in the direction Shu Jianyue had left. He couldn't help but remind him, "Grandmaster Chenxing, you'd better not have any more wicked thoughts. Grandmaster Zhen can't be saved. If Tiande Sect loses you too, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep its position as the Holy Spirit Sect's leader."

Ai Chenxing glanced at him and said, "I don't need you to concern yourself with my affairs. Just take care of the Tiande Sect."

"Whether you can keep your position or not is not up to you or the Supreme Temple."

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the main hall. Looking at the magnificent Supreme Temple, Ai Chenxing felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

I think the reason Ai Meizhen was captured was simply because the people she hired were incompetent.

The people of Shenzhou are no good, so he went to the underworld.

In his view, the Ghost Realm was above the Divine Continent, and was almost the same as the Upper God Realm.

What he didn't know was that although the Ghost Realm was not under the jurisdiction of the Upper God Realm, it was not an existence that could be compared with the Upper God Realm.

The Ghost King's strength is only comparable to that of the God Lord. If they were to fight in this Holy Spirit battle, the Ghost King would definitely be the one to suffer.

In the ghost realm, the Ghost King would be the victor.

Ai Chong knew that his grandmaster Chenxing also had designs on the Supreme God Palace, so he immediately returned to Tiande Sect to find the remaining two grandmasters and ask them to persuade Ai Chenxing.

Little did they know, the other two also believed that it was because Amy had not handled things well that the matter had fallen into the hands of the Supreme Temple.

Therefore, they agreed that Ai Chenxing should find someone to cooperate with again, and they would go together with him, determined to take down the Supreme Temple, otherwise, where would Tiande's face be?

Ai Chong's face turned pale upon hearing this; what about the reputation of the Tiande Sect?

If this continues, the Tiande Sect will be gone. What face will they have left?

Ai Chong tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but to no avail. He was so anxious that his hair was practically standing on end.

He couldn't follow the patriarchs' suicidal actions; he didn't want to destroy the Tiande Sect. So, his mind raced, trying to figure out how to save the Tiande Sect.

Ai Chong scratched his hair, which was about to stand on end, and called out to the elders and hall masters in a telepathic voice. Then he hurriedly headed towards the council hall.

Upon seeing her father like this, Ai Huixian exclaimed in surprise, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Ai Chong was about to wave his hand and say it was nothing, but then he thought of his daughter's intelligence and said, "Come with your father and give me some advice."

Ai Huixian's expression shifted, and she immediately followed Ai Chong to the council hall.

By this time, quite a few people were already seated in the council hall, all discussing what the sect leader had summoned them for.

Ai Chong sat down and voiced his concerns.

Immediately, an elder said, "Since our grandmasters are so confident, we should cooperate fully. The Supreme Divine Palace only has one Divine Lord. If our grandmasters are not afraid, why should we be?"
