Chapter 2878 Righteous
“But you don’t even know him, how can you just decide to be together with him. I know you’re thoughtful, but it’s not a game, Little Yun, listen to your master.” Yang Le took Ling Yun’s hand and said quietly.
Yang Le knew that it’s going to be a lifelong suffering if she were to get married to someone that she didn’t love. She too was once a peerless beauty and a prodigy, there were even famous Hierarchs who fell in love with her, yet she was unfazed, loving only Ling Yanyu who was only a Half-Step Divine King back then.
“I’m telling the truth, masters. You won’t deny me the right to pursue the path beside an expert, right? I believe that we’ll be happy in the future if I’m with Chu Yunji. Although he’s currently around my level, he had attained that in just a mere dozen of years, shaping what the Blood Tool Sect has now. It should be evident that he’s strong, right? No one would deny that it’s all thanks to him that his sect was able to rise this far. In my point of view, it’s not a bottomless political marriage.” Ling Yun said calmly. Each and every word of her filled Ling Yanyu with guilt and helplessness.
“Little Yun, don’t create a ruckus. This matter is not something that could be decided on your whim!” Ling Yanyu said.
“Master, I am indebted to the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect and I will never forget it, I can never repay it but please grant me the choice to pursue my happiness.” Ling Yun said in a serious tone.
“You… sigh!” Ling Yanyu sighed and left.
“Child, why…?” Yang Le grabbed Ling Yun’s hand tightly with tears in her eyes.
She viewed Ling Yun as the same as her husband. However, this marriage proposal had caused the whole Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect to be struck with such unrest. It was ironic that he couldn’t even protect their own child, what use does the name of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect have?
“Shi Niang (Master’s wife), sometimes we must not live just for ourselves. I am not going into the depths of hell, just marrying into the Blood Tool Sect. I hope the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect will become better and stronger. I, Ling Yun, shall forever be a disciple of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect even if I’ve married into the Blood Tool Sect.”
“My unfortunate child…” Yang Le hugged Ling Yun and cried.
Three days later, on the foot of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect, the ten great sects gathered, their leader was Chu Wang.
“Hahaha, Lord Ling, how are you? It felt like years even though we had just seen each other the other day.” Chu Wang said with a laugh.
Currently, Ling Yanyu was standing on top of the grand hall with his arms behind his back as he looked towards the foot of the mountain.
“I welcome the Blood Tool Sect and the other sects to discuss matters in the main hall.” Ling Yanyu then turned and entered the grand hall.
“This… This Ling Yanyu is pretty cocky?! To think he did not invite us himself.”
“Looks like Ling Yanyu is pretty angry, huhu.”
“We all support Elder Chu.”
“Hahaha, you’re right! This Ling Yanyu is obviously cocky, does his Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect plan to face all of us?”
Every elder’s eyes were smiling as they observed the situation silently. They hoped to see the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect and Blood Tool Sect fight. Then, they’d get what they want, they’d be able to observe how powerful the Blood Tool Sect actually was. These fellas had plans of their own, but for now, they’re stood on the Blood Tool Sect’s side.
“Let me see what Ling Yanyu has prepared. This Chu Wang is not afraid. Hmph, let’s go.” Chu Wang said with a dark expression.
This was the biggest insult his Blood Tool Sect had suffered, how could he not be angered? Still, they’re not here to pressure the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect today, they were here for the marriage proposal. He hoped not to clash today, as long Ling Yanyu accepted the proposal, this meant that the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect had bowed down.
The ten great elders once again entered the great hall. Ling Yanyu stood with his arms crossed with his back facing the crowd with pride.
“Lord Ling must be clear on why I’ve come today. I wonder what the verdict is?” Chu Wang squinted his eyes and said.
“This old one agrees to the marriage between the Blood Tool Sect and the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect.” Ling Yanyu said.
Everyone’s expression changed. To think this old fart really accepted it?! They all knew that Ling Yanyu was a stubborn man. He would not bow down to anyone, not even the Divine Golem Sect and the Qi Transformation Sect’s Lord could persuade him to do anything. However, he accepted the offer, this meant that he had thoroughly accepted it. The Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect finally bowed down to the Blood Tool Sect.
Chu Wang’s eyes brightened and his lips curved into a giant smile.
He was waiting for Ling Yanyu to say those words. The marriage was just a small matter, their goal was to merge the two sects. The future of the Tian Xing Boundary would surely change!
However, the Blood Tool Sect still had a long way to go to become the number one sect of the Tian Xing Boundary. Since their resources and history could not compare against the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect, Divine Golem Sect and Qi Transformation Sect. They were sects that have been around for countless years, it was not something that could be overcome by just any sect in a single-go.
Now, it looks like it’s certain that the Blood Tool Sect would rise to become one of the top ten sects. When would they reach the number one sect? That would have to wait when Chu Yunji comes back from the Profound Connection Divine Palace; by then, the Blood Tool Sect shall become invincible within the Tian Xing Boundary.
“Hahaha, Lord Ling is righteous, this one is really happy about it. Then, this marriage is set. Rest assured, Lord Ling. We’ll certainly make sure that this couple will get married. The Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect and Blood Tool Sect shall become a family in the future, supporting each other. Today, I, Chu Wang, am happy and impressed by Lord Ling’s grace. I hope Lord Ling will support the Blood Tool Sect in the future.” Chu Wang said.
Ling Yanyu’s eyes became cold as he turned and stared at Chu Wang.
