"Sect master, isn’t this punishnt a bit excessive."
"Yes, kneeling to apologize to the Jun Family, where is the face of our Nine Cold Sect."
"Sect master, if the grand elder truly kneels to apologize to the Jun Family and this gets out, our Nine Cold Sect might beco a laughingstock in the Moon Soul Domain, we absolutely cannot allow this!"
At this mont, a crowd of elders quickly spoke up, but Ying Xiangyun remained silent, keeping his head down without speaking.
Looking at the several elders who spoke up, Luo Huai’an was suddenly furious, slamming the armrest and standing up sharply.
"A bunch of fools!"
Luo Huai’an cursed angrily: "For years, the reputation of Nine Cold Sect in the Moon Soul Domain has been quite bad, don’t you understand why? It’s because you look down on others, deeming yourselves superior, that has led to this result."
"Has Ye Chen not taught you a lesson today? He’s just at the Heavenly God Realm, yet he defeated your group of genius disciples without them having any ability to fight back, hasn’t this made you realize there’s always soone stronger, in and beyond the universe?"
"The strength of the Nine Cold Sect is not for you to flaunt, but a force for you to strive for, understand!"
"The actions of the grand elder, were they not also because he considered himself soone from the Nine Cold Sect, therefore doing such things? Haven’t you realized this yet!"
Luo Huai’an’s furious shout made the entire Nine Cold Hall tremble without rest, his overwhelming power crushed on top of everyone like Mount Tai, and at the sa ti, it woke them up.
What Luo Huai’an said was not wrong, pride would only cause regression, and that’s the problem with Nine Cold Sect today. If these elders and disciples in front of him didn’t understand this, Nine Cold Sect would surely decline.
At this mont, everyone in the Nine Cold Hall looked ashad, even Ying Xiangyun had a complex look, having been awakened by Luo Huai’an’s scolding too.
Actually, long ago, Ying Xiangyun was also a respected figure, punishing evildoers and helping the good. But later, after sitting in the position of the grand elder for too long, he was corrupted by power and gradually beca more arrogant, seeing no one in his eyes, thinking no one dared to provoke him, the grand elder.
Later, Ying Xiangyun even developed an evil hobby of experinting on living people. At this mont, being scolded by Luo Huai’an, he was suddenly awakened and realized he had committed nurous heinous cris over the years.
"Sect master, I have no objection to your punishnt!"
At this mont, Ying Xiangyun raised his head, looked at Luo Huai’an, and said firmly, "Three days later, I will go to the Jun Family to heal the ancestor of the Jun Family, and apologize to the Jun Family people. After returning to the sect, I will punish myself by retreating to Yin Han Valley for three hundred years, during which I will not step out of Yin Han Valley, regardless of life or death!"
"Yin Han Valley!"
Everyone was shocked to look at Ying Xiangyun, as Yin Han Valley is the most terrifying dangerous land among Nine Cold Sect’s countless mountain ranges, where the biting cold wind howls all year round, and any life that enters it cannot stay for long, potentially being frozen and dissipated into ashes by the freezing wind.
Upon hearing Ying Xiangyun’s plan to punish himself in such a way, the people of Nine Cold Sect were deeply shocked, never expecting Ying Xiangyun to be so harsh on himself.
anwhile, upon hearing Ying Xiangyun’s words, Luo Huai’an nodded in satisfaction, showing a touch of gratification in his eyes.
"Grand elder, being this strict with yourself ans you’ve recognized your mistakes. Since that’s the case, I agree to your request, hoping that three hundred years later, you’ll erge anew from Yin Han Valley, reaffirm your initial heart, and return at your full potential!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words, sect master!" Ying Xiangyun, hearing Luo Huai’an’s words, responded loudly with a firm gaze.
Simultaneously, Ying Xiangyun also looked at Ye Chen and Jun Mo, speaking sincerely: "Young friends, I have greatly offended you, and hope for your understanding."
"For the grand elder to recognize his mistakes and change, Ye Chen is impressed."
Ye Chen looked at Ying Xiangyun, cupping his hands in respect.
And Jun Mo at this mont glanced at Ying Xiangyun with complex emotions, slowly cupped his hands as well, indicating his forgiveness of Ying Xiangyun.
Afterward, not wishing to linger in the Nine Cold Hall, Ying Xiangyun bid farewell to Luo Huai’an and left directly.
anwhile, Luo Huai’an’s gaze shifted to the other people in the hall, ten elders and nurous disciples.
"And you, have you realized your mistakes?"
Luo Huai’an asked deeply.
"We have."
The elders and disciples replied in unison.
Upon hearing this, Luo Huai’an nodded in satisfaction and continued, "If so, then after the grand elder returns from the Jun Family, join him and go into seclusion in Yin Han Valley."
"Elders will enter seclusion for thirty years, disciples for three years, as a punishnt for your mistakes this ti, understand!"
Ying Xiangyun’s strength is above the Qiankun Mirror, and there are risks in his three-hundred-year seclusion, but he won’t likely die; however, the duration may be short for the elders and disciples, but Yin Han Valley is much more dangerous for them and they could very likely perish there.
But at this mont, whether elder or disciple, none opposed Luo Huai’an’s punishnt, and they all accepted it.
"Good, then prepare, and in three days, go to Yin Han Valley with the grand elder, now all of you may leave."
Luo Huai’an waved his hand, and the elders and disciples left one after another.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but exchange a glance with Jun Mo, a look of admiration flashing in their eyes.
Luo Huai’an is indeed worthy of being regarded as a heroic leader by the major forces in the Moon Soul Domain, truly imposing and filled with wisdom in every word and action. Moreover, everyone in the sect listens to Luo Huai’an.
The Nine Cold Sect also deserves to be considered a major sect in the Moon Soul Domain. No matter if it’s the elders or disciples, they’re able to recognize and correct their mistakes, making it unsurprising that such a sect has developed to this point.
At this mont, Han Wenxin in the Samsara Graveyard also gazes deeply at everything happening outside, nodding slowly.
"This boy, An Gouzi, I really underestimated him. Never thought he could grow to this stage, not bad, not bad."
anwhile, Han Wenxin is also observing Ye Chen, as he always believed in remaining detached from karma, living freely.
Han Wenxin spent his life pursuing the path of stability, believing that by avoiding karma and evading all troubles, one could live freely and invincibly. However, Ye Chen’s persistent advance, never retreating from danger, has slowly changed his thoughts.
"It seems I really pursued stability too much..."
Han Wenxin casts a complex gaze toward Luo Huai’an, who, after instructing the Nine Cold Sect mbers to withdraw, looks at Ye Chen expectantly, evidently because of Han Wenxin.
In the past, Han Wenxin severed karma and left without saying goodbye, but over the years, Luo Huai’an has always cared deeply for his adoptive father, making Han Wenxin feel a mix of emotions. Perhaps his actions back then were sowhat mistaken, and maybe the stability he pursued wasn’t right...
At this mont, Luo Huai’an glances at Ye Chen and turns to Jun Mo, saying, "Jun Mo young friend, I have so words to exchange with Ye Chen young friend, if you don’t mind..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Mo understands Luo Huai’an’s intention and imdiately rises, saying, "Okay, I’ll take a stroll outside."
"Thank you." Luo Huai’an says with a smile to Jun Mo.
Then, Luo Huai’an once again looks at Ye Chen, hesitating for a mont before asking, "Ye Chen young friend, the sound I heard earlier..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen understands what Luo Huai’an is thinking, but he cannot reveal the Samsara Graveyard, unable to tell the truth to Luo Huai’an. Therefore, he feels slightly embarrassed as he says, "I have a Glazed Glass Pearl left by Senior Han, which contains a spiritual sense of Senior Han. Because of danger in the Nine Cold Sect, Senior Han’s divine soul was triggered."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Luo Huai’an’s gaze becos complex. He thought his master had returned, but it was just a spiritual sense.
"Could I possibly see it once?"
Luo Huai’an can’t help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen inquires of Han Wenxin in the Samsara Graveyard whether he is willing to et Luo Huai’an.
Han Wenxin’s gaze is complex, he ponders for a mont, but ultimately shakes his head.
"Forget it, doing so would easily expose your identity, better not to et."
After saying this, Han Wenxin suddenly rembers sothing, pulling out an item from himself—it’s a mirror with flowing holy energy and a magnificent aura, within which lies mountains, rivers, and a grand alternate space.
"Give this mirror to him, this is sothing I specifically refined for him in the past, but when I left to sever karma, I took this item away."
Looking at the mirror, Ye Chen’s eyes glimr, then he nods, takes the mirror, and exits the Samsara Graveyard.
At this mont, looking at Luo Huai’an, Ye Chen apologetically says, "Sect Master Luo, after being triggered, Senior Han’s divine soul dispersed. However, he did leave one item, asking to hand it to you."
After saying this, Ye Chen hands the mirror given by Han Wenxin to Luo Huai’an.
Luo Huai’an’s eyes fall upon the mirror, seeing the beautiful alternate space within, endless tender light appears in his eyes.
"Mountain and River Alternate World Mirror, never thought I’d see it again."
Luo Huai’an receives the mirror with both hands, moisture swirling in his eyes, his trembling body finally calming as he carefully stores the Mountain and River Alternate World Mirror, suppressing his excitent.
After all, being a sect master, no matter how great his emotions at this mont, Luo Huai’an cannot reveal them in front of the young Ye Chen.
Afterward, Luo Huai’an chats with Ye Chen for a while, suddenly recalling sothing, his eyes flashing brightly.
"Not long ago, a mysterious woman wearing a veil ca to my Nine Cold Sect. During our conversation, she ntioned you, saying you are an extraordinary being."
Luo Huai’an says to Ye Chen.
"A mysterious woman with a veil?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen’s heart moves slightly, wearing a veil and knowing him, it seems highly likely to be the master of the Absolute Cold Empire.
"She is the successor of the Supre Absolute Cold Emperor. Because there is a certain connection between the Supre Absolute Cold Emperor and my Nine Cold Sect, an ancient sacred artifact was once deposited in my Nine Cold Sect, and that mysterious woman ca to claim it."
"I originally thought no one would co for this sacred object, but it seems I was overly optimistic."
"The Supre Absolute Cold Emperor once left a statent."
"What statent?" Ye Chen asks.
Luo Huai’an narrows his eyes, hesitates for a few seconds, and says, "When the sacred object finally returns, it will shake the Nine Heavens Beyond Domains!"
