Chapter 567: My Sect Leader Yun Yun, A Night of Warmth
The Grand Elder of the Flower Sect did not hesitate for even a moment before agreeing to Wu Tian's alliance proposal.
Compared to Cai Lin Pavilion and Blazing Flame Valley, the Flower Sect was simply not on the same level.
Blazing Flame Valley's strength had skyrocketed after the appearance of Fire Cloud Ancestor, a Two-Star Dou Saint. This alone placed them above the Heaven Demon Sect and the Flower Sect.
The reality was harsh neither the Flower Sect nor the Heaven Demon Sect had a Dou Saint.
The former Sect Leader, Flower Granny, had perished in battle. Now, the strongest person left in the Flower Sect was the Grand Elder, who was merely an Eight-Star Dou Venerate.
They had no choice but to seek protection.
To the Grand Elder, Wu Tian wasn't annexing the Flower Sect he was giving them a way to survive.
But why?
Because of Yun Yun.
The old woman wasn't foolish. She understood that if Wu Tian wanted to seize the Flower Sect, he could do so easily.
By making Yun Yun the absolute authority, she was both securing the sect's future and giving Wu Tian peace of mind.
Wu Tian chuckled inwardly. Clever old fox.
All these seasoned veterans were difficult to deal with, but at the end of the day, absolute strength determined everything.
As long as he kept growing stronger, this alliance would last.
Hua Jin, the former sect leader, looked devastated.
With the Demonic Flower Lord dead, the Heaven Demon Sect would surely retaliate.
A war was coming.
She needed to make a decision.
Without another word, she turned and left the main hall, her expression filled with resentment.
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes watched her leave, the corners of her lips curving into a subtle, knowing smile.
The Grand Elder sighed and declared:
"From this day forward, Yun Yun is the new Sect Leader of the Flower Sect! Any disciple who defies her commands will face the sect's punishment!"
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Thousands of Flower Sect disciples knelt in unison, their voices echoing through the skies.
Wu Tian chuckled, watching the woman in his embrace.
"Congratulations, my dear Sect Leader Yun Yun."
Yun Yun rolled her eyes and gave him a playful glare.
"Even as the Pavilion Master of Cai Lin Pavilion, you're still calling me 'Sect Leader'?"
Wu Tian grinned mischievously.
"Of course. You'll always be my Yun Yun Sect Leader."
Following the declaration, the official succession ceremony was held.
Though not grand, it was meticulously arranged by the Grand Elder.
With Cai Lin Pavilion's presence, the ceremony felt more prestigious than any before.
Once it was over, Wu Tian did not leave immediately.
There was still one more day until the opening of the Star Region.
Having been apart from Yun Yun for so long, he naturally wanted to spend some extra time with her.
That night, Wu Tian sat in Yun Yun's room, deep in thought.
Something about the Heaven Demon Sect's actions seemed off.
They had only sent one Demonic Flower Lord to infiltrate the Flower Sect.
Why?
If they truly wanted to take control, why not send more forces?
Could they have another goal?
Before he could think further, he was pulled into the warmth of Yun Yun's presence.
The Flower Sect's night air was filled with a gentle floral fragrance.
The stars above flickered like celestial fireflies, occasionally streaking across the sky.
It was peaceful.
A rare moment of tranquility.
"Little troublemaker," Yun Yun's soft voice broke the silence, "since when did you become so powerful?"
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow, smirking.
"I was always this strong."
In the dim candlelight, their conversation held a subtle intimacy.
However, they weren't doing anything inappropriate at least, not in the way one might expect.
Wu Tian was helping Yun Yun refine the Dou Qi sealed within her body, left behind by Flower Granny.
Although Yun Yun had become a Dou Venerate, the power she had inherited was being released at a painfully slow rate.
She needed to grow stronger faster.
So, Wu Tian guided the energy within her, accelerating the unsealing process.
Of course, this also gave them a perfect excuse to spend more time together.
Too bad…
Cai Lin was sitting right beside them, watching everything.
The two women, once enemies, were now inseparable sisters.
Though they had been apart for years, their bond remained as strong as ever.
Under the soft glow of the moonlight, the slight distance between them vanished.
The awkwardness of time apart melted away.
As Wu Tian closed his eyes, Yun Yun exhaled softly, her cheeks flushing a lovely shade of red.
Being so close to him, having her wrist held gently in his hands it was embarrassing.
Especially because…
Cai Lin was watching.
Moments later, Wu Tian opened his eyes, his expression serious.
"The energy left behind by Flower Granny is even stronger than I expected."
"It's enough that, if released all at once, an ordinary Dou Venerate would be instantly torn apart."
Yun Yun's talent…
It was unbelievable.
Her luck was absurd.
A Nine-Star Dou Venerate powerhouse had essentially gifted her an entire lifetime's worth of cultivation.
Not even Wu Tian's own monstrous growth had been this outrageous.
He chuckled bitterly.
"Honestly… even I'm jealous of your luck."
Cai Lin nodded in agreement.
"Even with all the advantages Wu Tian has, your progress is terrifying."
If it weren't for Cai Lin's own rapid growth, she might have already been overtaken by Yun Yun.
Yun Yun, clearly flustered, bit her lip and avoided eye contact.
"You make it sound like I didn't work hard for this…"
Wu Tian grinned playfully and held her hand a little tighter.
"You worked hard, but you also had an unfair advantage."
"But that's fine."
"You're my woman the stronger you get, the better it is for all of us."
With a wave of his hand, he slowly released her wrist.
"The seal Flower Granny placed is incredibly stable. She was too careful she didn't want your body to collapse under the pressure."
"To fully unseal it… it's going to take time."
"But with my help, you can speed up the process."
"With some additional high-grade pills, we can make sure your body adapts faster."
Yun Yun looked at him, her heart feeling warm.
For so many years, she had always felt like she was chasing after him.
Now, even though she wasn't quite at his level, she was finally close enough to stand by his side.
And that…
That was enough for now.
