Seeing the frantic retreat of Yaohua Liangjun, both Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, as well as the members of the Flower Sect like Hua Jin, were left utterly dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that a dignified six-star Dou Zun would be scared off by Mo Yu with just a few words? Hua Jin's face turned ashen, a mix of green and white, her narrow eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction where Yaohua Liangjun had fled. In her heart, she deeply regretted trusting this man who was all show and no substance!
"That guy has already run off. So, are you planning to forfeit the competition, or are you looking for another male partner?" Mo Yu said with a light smile, glancing at Hua Jin.
Hearing this, Hua Jin's face turned deathly pale. With Yaohua Liangjun gone, how could she alone stand against this terrifying demon, Mo Yu?
"I… I forfeit!" Hua Jin gritted her teeth and declared.
Seeing Hua Jin admit defeat, the elders of the Flower Sect could only shake their heads slightly.
Today's competition was indeed a joke. A four-star Dou Zun and a six-star Dou Zun, defeated without even fighting—if this got out, it would truly be laughable.
However, it was fortunate that their opponent was none other than Mo Yu, who was now a renowned figure in Central Plains. Otherwise, the Flower Sect would have been utterly humiliated.
"Well, that was effortless," Mo Yu said, turning his head to Yun Yun, whose stunning face was filled with astonishment. He coughed lightly and smiled.
"Your reputation in Central Plains is quite remarkable, isn't it?"
Yun Yun glanced at Mo Yu's still handsome and confident face, unable to resist giving him another look. Her tone carried a trace of surprise as she spoke.
Having been hidden away in the Flower Sect, Yun Yun wasn't aware of recent events in the outside world. Seeing Mo Yu scare off Yaohua Liangjun with ease naturally left her in shock.
"Of course! young master's Yuan Manor now is the overlord of the Western Region. Not long ago, two peak-level Dou Zun experts from the Hall of Souls were defeated by him. What do you think—impressive, right?" Qing Lin, standing nearby, couldn't help but wrinkle her delicate nose as she spoke, seeing how close Mo Yu and Yun Yun were.
Qing Lin, also from the Jia Ma Empire, was no stranger to Yun Yun, the former Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect. Seeing another woman by her young master's side now, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy in her heart.
With her keen perception, Yun Yun naturally noticed Qing Lin's feelings. However, even as Mo Yu's woman, she didn't show any signs of rivalry. Instead, she smiled faintly at Qing Lin and then shifted her beautiful gaze back to Mo Yu.
The young Dou Shi who once ventured through the Magical Beast Mountain Range had now grown to the point where even peak-level Dou Zun experts couldn't contend with him…
In the sky, the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect let out a soft sigh, her gaze shifting to Hua Jin as she spoke faintly, "Since you've lost, hand over the Sect Master's jade token to Yun Yun."
Hearing this, Hua Jin's hand clenched tightly. But in front of the crowd, there was no way she could renege. Gritting her teeth, she retrieved the jade token from her storage ring and hurled it fiercely toward Yun Yun.
The Grand Elder turned her gaze to Yun Yun with a faint smile. "I trust the Sect Master's judgment. Yun Yun, from now on, you shall be the new Sect Master of the Flower Sect."
Looking at the floating jade token before her, Yun Yun hesitated for a moment. Finally, she nodded slightly and then raised her head to look at the white-haired elder in the sky. She said respectfully, "Grand Elder, I can temporarily act as the Sect Master. If you later find someone more suitable, just let me know."
"Hehe, don't worry. I trust the old Sect Master's judgment. Since she was willing to pass on all her Dou Qi to you, you must be her ideal candidate," the white-haired elder replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Hua Jin's expression darkened, her face shifting unpredictably. After a while, she spoke in a deep voice, "Grand Elder, I've worked hard for years to build an alliance between the Tian Ming Sect and our Flower Sect. If the Sect Master's position changes hands now, not only will the alliance fall apart, but given the Tian Ming Sect's ways, they won't let this slide easily."
Hua Jin's words carried an unmistakable threat. If Yun Yun became the Sect Master, not only would the alliance with the Tian Ming Sect be lost, but it might even lead to hostility between the two sects.
The Grand Elder frowned slightly. Although the Flower Sect and the Tian Ming Sect were considered equals, the former's strength was no longer as strong as the latter's.
Moreover, the Tian Ming Sect had been aggressively expanding over the years, with countless experts in its ranks. Few forces dared to provoke them lightly.
Yaohua Liangjun was a member of the Tian Ming Sect. Originally, they intended for him to marry Hua Jin, solidifying relations between the two sects.
Although the Flower Sect and the Tian Ming Sect were known as two major sects, looking across Central Plains, many forces could rival them. However, these forces preferred to remain low-key, though their foundations were no weaker than the two sects.
"Hehe, Fairy Qing, long time no see. While the Tian Ming Sect is strong, my Yuan Manor is not far behind…"
At this moment, a soft chuckle suddenly resounded, and a figure in a luxurious purple-gold robe slowly appeared.
The newcomer was a refined-looking middle-aged man, his aura profound and restrained. A closer look revealed that his strength was no less than that of the Flower Sect's Grand Elder.
"She Lao, what are you doing here?" Seeing the newcomer, Mo Yu was momentarily startled before his eyes lit up with joy.
"Hehe, I originally planned to return to Yuan Manor after resolving matters in Central Plains. But I sensed your presence here and decided to drop by," She Lao replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head. "She Lao, you owe me nothing, so how could I blame you? Besides, the Hall of Souls matter has been resolved. You don't need to feel guilty."
She Lao sighed softly, patting Mo Yu's shoulder. "Rest assured, from now on, I'll personally oversee Yuan Manor. If anyone dares to destroy it, they'll have to step over my dead body first."
…
While Mo Yu and She Lao conversed, the Flower Sect Grand Elder stared intently at She Lao. After a while, she hesitated and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be She Zun Zhe, a prodigy from the same era as Yao Zun Zhe and Feng Zun Zhe.
To think that after all these years, like Yao Chen, you've also broken through to the Ban Sheng level?"
"Oh? I didn't expect Fairy Qing to still remember me." She Lao turned to look at the elder, smiling faintly. "Back then, I was just an unknown rogue cultivator. I didn't think the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect would take notice of me."
"The name of She Zun Zhe was never that of an unknown," the Grand Elder replied, shaking her head. Her gaze shifted to Mo Yu, and she hesitated before asking, "May I ask where She Zun Zhe now stands?"
"Hehe, isn't it obvious? I am, of course, a member of Yuan Manor. Mo Yu is my Manor Lord," She Lao replied with a faint smile.
"Oh? She Zun Zhe—no, Saint She is also part of Yuan Manor?" Hearing this, the Grand Elder was visibly shocked despite the clear evidence before her.
In the previous battle between the Hall of Souls and Yuan Manor, the latter had already revealed a Ban Sheng-level expert. Now, with another Ban Sheng appearing, Yuan Manor clearly had at least two such figures.
A force with two Ban Shengs was no weaker than the Flower Sect.
Considering Yuan Manor's meteoric rise, it might not be long before they fully surpassed the Flower Sect.
"So, it's evident to all that my Yuan Manor now has the strength to rival the Tian Ming Sect, right?"
She Lao smiled faintly and continued, "And as for the Tian Ming Sect's ways, Fairy Qing, you're well aware.
If the two sects ally, achieving true balance will be difficult. Eventually, one will dominate the other, and when that happens, the Flower Sect might become just another branch of the Tian Ming Sect."
"Impossible! Senior, this matter concerns only my Flower Sect and Tian Ming Sect. Please do not interfere!"
Hua Jin's expression shifted dramatically, his tone turning cold as he spoke. The alliance with Tian Ming Sect was the only card left to prevent Yun Yun from ascending to the sect leader's position. Despite She Lao's impressive status and strength, Hua Jin couldn't help but object.
However, She Lao ignored Hua Jin's words entirely. Turning his gaze to the white-haired elder woman, he spoke directly, "If Fairy Qing trusts my Yuan Manor, perhaps we could become a reliable ally of the Flower Sect in the future. With my reputation and the relationship between Mo Yu and Yun Yun, surely Fairy Qing has no reason for doubt?"
The white-haired elder chuckled softly, then nodded. Her gaze turned stern as she looked at Hua Jin and said decisively, "From this day forward, Yun Yun is the sect leader of our Flower Sect. There will be no further disputes!"
The She Lao's words had finally pushed the Grand Elder to make her decision.
In the past, Yuan Manor might not have had the weight to compel such resolute action. However, times had changed—Yuan Manor now had two Ban Shengs, not to mention Mo Yu's monstrous potential. Their influence was bound to soar, likely surpassing Tian Ming Sect in the near future.
Choosing between an old, treacherous powerhouse and a rising faction with immense promise wasn't a hard decision.
Seeing the Grand Elder's firm resolve to appoint Yun Yun as sect leader, Hua Jin's expression turned grim. Yet, she said nothing further, knowing that any objections at this point would be futile.
With no dissent from anyone present, the white-haired elder scanned the crowd, her voice resonating across the square.
"From this moment on, Yun Yun is the new sect leader of our Flower Sect. Her orders must be obeyed by all disciples. Disobedience will be punished according to sect rules!"
"Yes!"
As her voice fell, the Flower Sect disciples in the square knelt uniformly, their respectful voices echoing in unison.
"Greetings to the Sect Leader!"
Looking at the sea of kneeling disciples, Mo Yu smiled and turned to the slightly flustered Yun Yun. "Congratulations, Sect Leader Yun Yun."
Yun Yun shot him a glare, then sighed softly. Every time this man appeared, he would inevitably turn her life upside down.
"What a troublesome man…"
Yun Yun's succession ceremony wasn't grand, but with the Grand Elder presiding, everything proceeded formally. By the ceremony's conclusion, Yun Yun had officially become the new sect leader of the Flower Sect.
After the ceremony, Mo Yu didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked Yun Yun to arrange a quiet chamber for him.
In the chamber, Mo Yu and Yun Yun sat facing each other.
"How long are you planning to stare at me?" Yun Yun finally asked, her voice tinged with exasperation. Her usually calm and elegant demeanor showed a hint of playful annoyance, which only made her all the more captivating.
Mo Yu chuckled, reaching out to grasp her delicate hand.
"It's been so long since we last met. This face of yours has appeared in my dreams countless times. Now that we're finally reunited, how could I not take a good look?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun's flawless cheeks flushed a deep crimson. Her brows knitted slightly as she chided him, "You little scoundrel, are you addicted to acting like a rogue?"
Mo Yu smiled faintly and replied, "Is it against the law to act like a rogue toward my own woman? Besides, if holding hands counts as being a rogue, then what about that night we parted ways in the Jia Ma Empire? Or that night in the cave in the Magical Beast Mountain Range ten years ago?"
"You… stop talking!"
Yun Yun's calm façade finally crumbled. She bit her lip, her face burning red as his words grew increasingly brazen.
"Say another word, and I'll leave!"
Seeing the mischievous smile on his face, Yun Yun was furious. This man always loved to tease her, relishing the sight of her composed and noble demeanor breaking apart.
She gave him a resentful punch to the chest. Though annoyed, Yun Yun couldn't deny the sweetness stirring in her heart as memories of their shared past resurfaced.
Mo Yu, noticing her embarrassed and flustered expression, wisely decided not to push further. For someone as elegant and dignified as Yun Yun, being too forward wouldn't be ideal.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop. This time, I'm here to check the Dou Qi seal in your body," he said, his tone softening.
Yun Yun blinked in surprise, her suspicion lingering for a moment before she finally stopped struggling against his grasp.
Seeing this, Mo Yu shook his head with a helpless smile. Placing his palm gently over hers, he closed his eyes. A wisp of soul power flowed from his hand into her body.
As Mo Yu closed his eyes, Yun Yun exhaled softly. Her cheeks still carried a faint blush, but her heart gradually calmed.
Though unsure of Mo Yu's exact intentions, she was relieved that he wasn't rushing into anything inappropriate. His concern for her physical condition subtly warmed her heart.
Watching his focused expression, Yun Yun's lips curved into a faint smile, her beautiful eyes softening. Despite his teasing nature, this man had always held a special place in her heart—a bond neither time nor distance could erase.
