Chapter 571: Yao Chen Gets Beaten Up and Becomes the Young Sect Master Again!
Yao Chen's accidental rescue of Sound Valley left Wu Tian speechless. However, it also made him realize Soul Hall's true plan.
While he had initially thought that Soul Hall would attack Flower Sect to put him in a passive position, their real target had actually been another faction.
If they had attacked Flower Sect, Yun Yun's presence alone would have meant that both Cai Lin Pavilion and Blazing Flame Valley wouldn't sit idly by.
Moreover, Flower Sect had two hidden Half-Saints Qing Fairy and Hua Fairy who could resist Soul Hall's forces.
Thus, Soul Hall had sent Demon Flower Evil Lord as bait, staging a scheme to lure out their enemies.
Now, Wu Tian finally understood:
Soul Hall's real goal had been to destroy Sound Valley and capture Fairy Yin Yue to use her as leverage against Cai Lin Pavilion.
After all
Yao Chen was Xiao Yan's master, and Xiao Yan was a member of the Xiao Clan.
Moreover, Yao Chen was the senior brother of Wind Venerate, another high-ranking figure in Wu Tian's faction.
If Fairy Yin Yue were captured, Yao Chen would be forced into submission, giving Soul Hall a powerful bargaining chip.
It was a brilliant strategy
But unfortunately for them, Yao Chen's nostalgic visit to an ex-lover had ruined everything.
Not only had he accidentally saved Sound Valley, but he had even captured two of Soul Hall's Heavenly Venerables!
Wu Tian was delighted.
This meant his Heavenly Demon Puppet army would gain two new additions Venerable Eight and… Venerable Four!
"You did well. So, where is Fairy Yin Yue now?"
Wu Tian grinned, his gaze locking onto Yao Chen.
That piercing stare seemed to see right through him.
Yao Chen's heart sank instantly.
No…
This damn brat… he knows something…
Truth be told, Yao Chen was deeply embarrassed.
The once-mighty Medicine Saint had now been cuckolded.
He had gone to Sound Valley, expecting an emotional reunion with his long-lost love.
But instead, he discovered that Fairy Yin Yue already had a daughter.
And even worse
The girl's surname was Wu.
For Yao Chen, this was a humiliation beyond words.
Thus, he had pretended not to care, ignoring the topic entirely.
After the battle, he had simply warned Fairy Yin Yue about Soul Hall's dangers.
Fairy Yin Yue, though clearly affected, had no choice but to face reality
Sound Valley could no longer remain isolated.
They had to join the great alliance.
However…
She had one condition:
Yao Chen had to acknowledge her daughter as his goddaughter.
For Yao Chen, this was pure torture.
Becoming a stepfather?!
Absolutely not!
But…
At the same time, he had no choice.
Thus, he had delayed his answer, telling Fairy Yin Yue that he needed Wu Tian's approval first.
Of course, Fairy Yin Yue was no fool.
If Wu Tian had any sense at all, he would accept immediately.
After all
If she had to suffer, then Yao Chen should suffer too.
"Ahem… well… Fairy Yin Yue is still in Sound Valley. She wishes to discuss something with you, Pavilion Master!"
Yao Chen coughed awkwardly, dodging Wu Tian's gaze.
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow.
Oh?
So there was even more drama?
His curiosity was piqued.
"In that case," Wu Tian smirked, "I'll go pay her a visit."
Then, glancing at Yao Chen, he continued
"You should stay here and catch up with Qing Fairy and Hua Fairy."
The moment those words fell, Yao Chen froze in place.
His eyelids twitched, his beard nearly curling up in horror.
Stay behind to "catch up"?!
Was Wu Tian trying to get him killed?!
The two Fairy Matriarchs were already staring at him with ice-cold expressions.
"Wait, Pavilion Master !"
Before Yao Chen could protest, Wu Tian simply waved his hand and left.
And so…
Yao Chen was left standing there, looking like a dead man walking.
The disciples of Flower Sect all narrowed their eyes.
What… was going on here?
"Yao Chen…"
Qing Fairy's voice was cold as frost.
"All these years, you haven't changed at all, have you?"
"Hmph. Since it's been so long…" Hua Fairy added, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Shall we see if you've improved, or if you've only grown more shameless?"
Before Yao Chen could explain himself, both Half-Saints lunged at him.
"Wait, listen to me !"
Meanwhile, back on the ground, all of Flower Sect's members were watching the battle with great interest.
A Half-Saint-level fight was incredibly rare.
For them, this was a perfect chance to observe and learn.
And the person watching most intently?
Yun Yun.
After Wu Tian had helped her break the seal, her cultivation had skyrocketed
From One-Star Dou Venerate…
To Five-Star Dou Venerate, Ninth Rotation.
And this was only the beginning.
Her strength would continue to grow.
More than anything, though…
Watching Yao Chen get beaten senseless was highly entertaining.
"Teacher, congratulations!"
A sweet voice chimed in.
Yun Yun turned her gaze and saw Nalan Yanran smiling mischievously.
Her face immediately flushed red.
"You little brat!"
Yun Yun glared at her.
"You secretly brought him here, didn't you?"
"Hehehe~" Nalan Yanran giggled.
"I was just fulfilling your wishes, Teacher~"
Hearing this, Yun Yun sighed, then smiled.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to."*
"From now on, you're the Young Sect Master of Flower Sect. If you keep misbehaving…"
"I'll step down and make you the Sect Master instead."*
Nalan Yanran immediately froze.
Taking over Flower Sect?!
Her strength had only just reached the Dou Ancestor level there was no way she could handle such a responsibility.
But then…
She glanced toward Wu Tian, deep in thought.
If her teacher chose to focus on her relationship instead of leadership…
Wouldn't she be the one suffering the most?
For the first time, Nalan Yanran felt a deep sense of dread.
Maybe… just maybe… she should stop teasing her teacher so much.
Yet, looking around, she couldn't help but think
Every woman by Wu Tian's side had experienced incredible fortune.
Xiao Yi Xian had risen from a small-town girl to become the legendary Poison Queen of the Cloud Mist Empire.
Qing Lin had become the ruler of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
Her teacher, Yun Yun, was now the Sect Master of Flower Sect.
And at the very top…
Cai Lin, the Medusa Queen, ruled over Cai Lin Pavilion itself.
Even though Wu Tian was technically the Pavilion Master, all of his wives knew
Cai Lin was the true boss.
