Chu Nian was told by a frightened young nun that a group of senior monks had come to the front hall, all of them "solemn and dignified" and "very solemn." The sect leader asked her to go to the main hall because these people were looking for her.
Chu Nian's spiritual power had already detected a group of twelve nuns. Although their cultivation level wasn't quite at the Immortal Realm yet, the weakest among them was already between the Mahayana and Immortal Realms. The only difference between them and the Immortal Realm was probably just one Tribulation Transcending stage.
Chu Nian guessed that they were the people sent by Emei Golden Summit that Kong Yuan was worried about, and leisurely went over. When she arrived at the front hall, she saw the sect leader serving tea to several "seniors" very attentively, with a respectful expression.
The young nun in charge of greeting guests was waiting outside the hall. When she saw Chu Nian arrive, she quickly bowed to her and said respectfully, "Elder, please wait a moment. This junior will go and report to the sect leader."
Chu Nian nodded lightly.
The young nun entered the hall to report. The leader of the twelve nuns, with her high nose and deep-set eyes, looked rather exotic. Upon hearing the young nun's words, she said to the sect leader, "She actually dared to come!"
The sect leader's lips twitched, unsure how to respond. In any case, whether it was Wu Nian or these people who came down from the Golden Summit of Emei, she couldn't beat them, nor could she afford to provoke them.
The sect leader instructed the little nun to tell Chu Nian to come in.
A moment later, Chu Nian walked in calmly and pointed to the twelve nuns, saying, "Sect Leader, I heard we have guests visiting. These must be them!"
The one leading the Twelve Nuns said, "We are the Twelve Guardian Elders of Emei, and we have come here to investigate the matter of your Blood Fusion Technique being broken."
The sect leader was shocked upon hearing this, but a look of understanding quickly crossed his brow: he probably understood why Kong Yuan had gone into seclusion. Kong Yuan and Wu Nian were master and disciple, and Kong Yuan was directly related to Wu Nian through blood fusion. If Wu Nian's blood fusion technique was broken, Kong Yuan would definitely know immediately.
Thinking of Kong Yuan's two disciples, neither of whom gave Kong Yuan any peace of mind, the sect leader immediately felt that it was the wisest thing to never take on any disciples.
Upon hearing the words of the chief elder, Twelve Niqi glared at Chu Nian. Chu Nian nodded and admitted, "Indeed, it's already broken."
The Chief Elder of Law Enforcement said sternly, "Blood Fusion is an unchanging tradition of our Emei Sect for ten thousand years. Since you are still a disciple of Qingyun Sect, and we just inquired with the Qingyun Sect Leader and learned that you are still a disciple personally taught by Kong Yuan, why is it that only your Blood Fusion Technique has been broken?"
Chu Nian: "I broke it."
The chief elder of the Law Enforcement Sect immediately glared and roared, "Breaking the Blood Fusion Technique privately is tantamount to betraying your sect! Wu Nian, you betrayed Emei and joined the Demonic Sect before, and now you've betrayed your sect a second time..."
"Don't make it sound so serious," Chu Nian interrupted her coldly. "I just broke an old tradition that has lasted for ten thousand years. How does that count as betraying my sect? Have I ever done anything that truly harmed the people of Qingyun or Emei?"
You old fogies, bound by tradition, are unable to comprehend yourselves by these traditions, which has resulted in you having such meager magical power even after thousands of years of cultivation. Now you even want to use these traditions to bind the younger generation, preventing them from truly comprehending the truth.
It can be said that you have delayed the transmission and flourishing of Emei Buddhism, making you sinners against Emei. Therefore, you are the ones who have betrayed Emei.
Hearing her arrogant and stern words, the twelve nuns were so angry that their faces turned ashen.
The sect leader standing nearby was sweating profusely as he listened: Wu Nian was so aggressive right from the start; a battle today seemed inevitable.
She just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and get as far away as possible to avoid being affected by the aftershocks of this fierce battle between these powerful individuals.
"You..." The chief law enforcement elder pointed at Chu Nian, speechless with anger. He turned his head and saw the sweating sect leader, and shouted, "Kong Jue, are all the disciples of your Qingyun Temple so disrespectful to their elders? Why don't you do anything about it?"
The sect leader hurriedly said, "Senior, this Wu Nian is a Supreme Elder, not a disciple. I... have no right to interfere. You... you should talk things out calmly. Come, come, sit down. We are all monks; it's not appropriate to get angry! It's not appropriate to get angry!"
Sect Leader Kongjue tried his best to act as a peacemaker, but in his heart he sincerely felt that he was the most tragic sect leader in the history of Qingyun Temple.
The head law enforcement elder glared at her and sneered, pointing at Chu Nian and saying, "Kong Jue, if you weren't so incompetent, how could Qingyun Nunnery have produced such a rebellious disciple?"
The sect leader's face turned pale. He had just tried to act as a peacemaker, but now he wished he could rush up and crush all of them.
Given the strength and numbers of the other party, she could only greet them with a smile and say, "The Chief Enforcement Elder is absolutely right. I have indeed been incompetent all along. You all came for this enlightenment, and now that she has arrived, I will take my leave." Without waiting for the twelve nuns of the Enforcement Hall to speak, she bowed and left the main hall.
As she left, she glanced at Chu Nian and sighed silently in her heart.
With Wu Nian's high level of strength, not to mention Emei, even the entire Buddhist sect would probably not dare to look down on their Qingyun Nunnery. But this child herself is also very stubborn. Why did she have to touch that Blood Fusion Bottle?
That thing just sits there and doesn't bother her at all; at most, it lets Kong Yuan know where she is at any time. Besides, what's wrong with a master knowing where their disciple is and being safe? And Kong Yuan, your disciple is about to be attacked by all the nuns of Emei Golden Summit, aren't you really going to end your seclusion and come out to take a look?
Kongjue found it increasingly difficult to understand the master and disciple pair, and for her own safety, she decided to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"This..." Probably not expecting her to desert at the last minute, the chief law enforcement elder pointed at her departing figure in surprise and exclaimed, but quickly turned to Chu Nian and said, "Wu Nian, look at you, even your sect leader doesn't want to get involved in your affairs. And what about your master? Does she not intend to participate in our attack on you today?"
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "What, do you think that even if the twelve of you join forces, you can't defeat me, so you're asking Qingyun Nunnery to send people to participate in your encirclement and suppression of me? I doubt any of them would want to participate."
The chief law enforcement elder was furious at her arrogant words and shouted, "You traitor, you are ungrateful and still do not know how to repent. Don't blame us for being ruthless. We will take you back to the Golden Summit Ice and Snow Pool to suffer the pain of being soaked in ice and snow."
"Ice and Snow Pool? What kind of place is that?" Chu Nian asked curiously.
During this time, she had actually tried to explore the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, but the huge, ancient and heavy door was full of strangeness, and she could not get through it. After pondering for a moment, she asked with a smile, "What, are you going to take me to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei?"
