"Even now, there are still people who dare to make a move against Yunze Tianzun. Don't they even know their own limitations?"
The first to speak up and mock was, as always, the bearded monk. He spoke loudly and without any politeness.
His opening remarks were like stirring up a hornet's nest, with others following suit.
"The reputation of Yunze Heavenly Venerable was earned by him sword by sword. Beneath his throne lie the bones of countless cultivators."
"Yes, back when everyone was causing him trouble, they all saw the immortal sword he held in his hand, a defensive artifact. Countless unknown people joined the siege, all for the treasure in his hands, but did anyone succeed?"
"That's right. Those endless ancient spells and incredibly powerful immortal swords and artifacts have killed and injured countless high-level cultivators. Besides, he's now a Great Ascension Celestial Venerable, just one step away from ascending to immortality. Who would dare to mess with him?"
"Those mountains of corpses and seas of blood gave rise to the youngest Mahayana-stage Celestial Venerable. If he hadn't shown mercy, countless sects and families would have been wiped out. Just because he was a little more lenient, you think he's an easy target?"
Many people echoed their opinions on the renowned young celestial being, fearing that the effeminate man might actually rob Yunze and his wife.
It's one thing if he courts death, but it's another if he implicates the Weapon Sect.
The effeminate middle-aged man was unwilling to give up and said defiantly, "But he is only one person, so what if he is at the Mahayana stage? Our Weapon Sect also has a Mahayana stage ancestor, why should we be afraid of him?"
"Shut up!" Sect Leader Yan Yan shouted, his aura at the peak of the Void Refinement stage pressing down on the effeminate man.
"This is getting more and more outrageous, Seventh Junior Brother. Do you want our Ancestor to engage in robbery and plunder? Does our Weapon Sect have no shame then?"
Seeing that the sect leader was angry, the effeminate man quickly stood up and explained.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, please calm down. I wouldn't dare."
Sect Leader Yan Yan, however, was not buying it.
"I know that members of your maternal and paternal clans died at the hands of Venerable Yunze, but that's only because they weren't strong enough and coveted his treasures. They deserved to die. I'm warning you, don't even think about dragging the Weapon Sect down with you."
Upon hearing the sect leader speak, others immediately echoed his sentiments.
"That's right, that's right, if you're going to get yourself killed, don't drag us down with you."
The effeminate man had no choice but to lower his head and apologize again.
However, Yan Yan had no intention of letting it go so easily.
He leaned slightly forward, his expression cold, and announced solemnly, "From today onwards, Seventh Junior Brother will go into seclusion in the back mountain for three years. Within one year, none of Seventh Junior Brother's family members and disciples may leave the Weapon Sect; those who violate this rule will be expelled from the sect."
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, I was just saying it, I didn't do anything, so it's not fair that you punish us."
"Unfair? Then go tell Master on me!"
"you……"
The effeminate man flicked his sleeves and stormed off, refusing to participate in the rest of the discussion.
Yan Yan did it on purpose. Regardless of whether he accepted the order or not, he didn't want his seventh junior brother to provoke Yunze Tianzun and implicate the Weapon Sect.
He continued, asking the crowd, "Should we take this big order? Everyone, please share your opinions..."
The discussion in the main hall then resumed.
Half an hour has passed, but there is still no result.
Most people felt it was a rare opportunity and they had to take on this big order, since the reward was Void Trees. However, they were also worried that they wouldn't be able to deliver the goods on time, which would damage the sect's reputation.
A small number of people think it's better not to accept it, but they really can't bear to part with the Void Tree.
The hall suddenly resembled a marketplace, filled with constant arguing, table-banging, and glass-throwing.
Some people with short tempers, unable to win arguments, even resort to violence.
Yuan Lie was extremely anxious as most of the time had passed without any results.
He could only muster his courage and say, "Everyone, Venerable Yunze is only waiting for us for one hour. The time is almost up. Please make a decision as soon as possible so that we can give the Venerable a reply."
His words silenced the hall instantly.
If he were to interrupt his elders without permission, he would definitely get scolded.
But he couldn't care less about that now. After saying that, he just stared at the sect leader in front of him.
Yan Yan closed his eyes, and after a moment calmly said, "Let's vote. Those who agree, stand up; those who disagree, sit down."
A moment later, Yan Yan looked at the two rows of people standing in neat rows and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
I can't understand what everyone was arguing about for the better part of an hour since they all agreed.
He casually pointed to a few names and asked listlessly, "Elder Qi, Elder Lei, Third Junior Brother, you all disagreed with accepting the offer just now, why did you change your minds?"
Those whose names were called were somewhat embarrassed, among them Elder Lei was the bearded cultivator.
He stroked his beard and chuckled, saying, "My disapproval is my personal matter. Taking on the order to exchange for the Void Tree is a major event for the sect. How could I dare to delay the sect's affairs?"
What he said made a lot of sense, but Yan Yan felt even more exhausted after listening to it.
He waved his hand, signaling the meeting to end, leaving only Yuan Lie behind.
What were Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze doing while they were arguing about the order in the main hall of the Weapon Sect?
They did not leave the meditation room, but sat quietly.
Lin Qianqian took out another abyss, but did nothing, just quietly looked at it.
Yunze didn't disturb her until Lin Qianqian had seen enough, put down Zhiyuan, and started talking to him.
"Yunze, do you know what Zhiyuan is?"
Yunze put down his teacup and replied softly, "I saw a little bit."
This answer was a bit unexpected for Lin Qianqian. She thought Yunze would ask: What is Zhiyuan?
Yes!
She asked Yunze at the time: How about calling it Zhiyuan?
Yunze said: It's very suitable.
If he says that, he must know something.
She looked down at the small potted plant and gently stroked its golden-veined branches and leaves.
He sighed softly, “Zhiyuan! I hope you don’t have to be reborn, I hope you can grow up in peace. In my life, you are my warm bed; in my death, you are my tomb. Just like Jumang and his Zhiyuan, we will stay together until death.”
Yunze also reached out a hand and gently stroked the other side of the branch and leaves of Zhiyuan, but did not say anything more until Yuan Lie rushed back to the Treasure Pavilion.
Yunze looked at Yan Yan's signature and the emblem of the Weapon Sect on the contract, pressed his spiritual power imprint, and then rolled up the contract and handed it to Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian took the contract and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, they plan to stay here for a few days. Jiancheng Mountain Market is very large. In addition to the Treasure Pavilion, there are many shops and stalls where you can find many good things.
For the past two days, Murong Qiao has been arriving at the inn where the couple is staying every morning without fail, and then taking them sightseeing and exploring the market before returning to the sect in the evening.
Sword City Mountain Market is no smaller than Xuanhai Market, and it has many good things.
With Murong Qiao, a local bigwig, leading the way, they can find good shops even in the most remote corners of the town, and they don't have to worry about being ripped off.
Seeing how attentive he was, Lin Qianqian decided to erase his debt for the tablet game console, so he wouldn't have to pay back the spirit stones.
Murong Qiao was overjoyed; that was no small sum!
"Since you don't want my money to buy a tablet game console, I won't let you suffer a loss."
How can I avoid being taken advantage of?
Lin Qianqian soon found out.
On the morning of the third day, he did not come alone, but brought a group of people with him.
