National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

The disciples outside the council hall were all puzzled. Cui Dongxuan of the Fire Profound Sect was the sect's holy son, a genius that was rare to see in hundreds of years. Countless people admired him and wanted to become his partner.

But Gu Ranran rejected his advances, which was simply ungrateful.

Faced with pressure from several elders within the sect, Sect Master Liu Shangyue looked at Gu Ranran and couldn't help but ask, "Ranran, do you really not want to marry Cui Dongxuan of the Fire Profound Sect?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple does not wish to," Gu Ranran replied decisively.

"Although Master doesn't want to form a marriage alliance with the Fire Profound Sect, Master is very curious as to why you are so persistent?" Liu Shangyue also found it very strange.

Liu Shangyue naturally did not want to form a marriage alliance with the Huoxuan Sect. She was grooming Gu Ranran to be the future sect leader. If Gu Ranran went to the Huoxuan Sect, she would become a member of the Huoxuan Sect.

This is like two companies trying to poach her top salesperson; Liu Shangyue would naturally be 100% unwilling.

However, Liu Shangyue found it very strange.

Although Cui Dongxuan is high-profile, arrogant, and a womanizer, his strength and talent are extremely high. He is also the Holy Son of the Huoxuan Sect, which is the number one sect in Changdong County. Countless talented disciples are eager to join the Huoxuan Sect. How could Gu Ranran not be interested?

"There's no reason why, I just don't want to." Gu Ranran didn't explain anything, she just shook her head in refusal.

"Hmph! You don't want to? Then why don't you consider the sect's interests? How can our Lotus Sect afford to offend the Fire Profound Sect?" an elder of the sect couldn't help but say.

“Yes, Sect Master, we know Ranran has great talent, but we can’t afford to offend the Fire Profound Sect. I think you should consider the overall situation of the sect.” Another elder chimed in.

Liu Shangyue was also very conflicted. Just then, a rapid whooshing sound came from above. A SS-level flying summon beast flew over from the sky above the Lotus Sect and then quickly swooped down, landing outside the Lotus Sect's council hall.

A young man dressed in fine clothes and with an imposing air jumped down from his flying summoned beast. His eyes were arrogant as he looked at the disciples of the Lotus Sect with disdain.

Behind him followed an old man dressed in a gray robe.

These two were none other than Cui Dongxuan, the Holy Son of the Fire Profound Sect, and the Third Elder of the Fire Profound Sect.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the disciples of the Lotus Sect exclaimed in surprise:
"My God, it's Saint Cui! Saint Cui has actually come!"

"Is Cui Shengzi here to propose marriage to Senior Sister Ranran again?"

"Wow, Choi Sung-ja is so handsome! I really want to have his babies. Choi Sung-ja, could you consider me?"

"Come on, with your big body, you could probably sit on Cui Shengzi and kill him."

"I heard that Prince Cui shone brightly in the Imperial Tournament, leading the Fire Profound Sect team into the top twenty, which raised the ranking of the entire Changdong County by several places. He is truly remarkable."

Amidst the discussions among the Lotus Sect disciples, Cui Dongxuan walked arrogantly into the Lotus Sect's council hall.

He saw that the Lotus Sect's sect leader and all the elders were there, as was Gu Ranran.

Upon seeing Gu Ranran, Cui Dongxuan felt a surge of passion.

Since meeting Gu Ranran, Cui Dongxuan has been deeply attracted to her, captivated by her aloof temperament.

"Sect Master Liu and all the elders are here, and Junior Sister Ranran is here too. Very good. Have you all made your decision? My Fire Profound Sect is willing to offer 10,000 S-grade dimensional stones to form a marriage alliance with your Lotus Sect."

Ten thousand S-grade dimensional stones—this is an extremely rich resource, enough for the Lotus Sect to cultivate a great many talents.

It has to be said that even Liu Shangyue was tempted.

However, at this moment, Gu Ranran suddenly spoke up in the council hall: "Master, elders, there's no need to worry. I, Gu Ranran, voluntarily withdraw from the Lotus Sect. From now on, I will have no further connection with the Lotus Sect." Upon hearing this, Liu Shangyue and the elders of the Lotus Sect all changed their expressions, while Cui Dongxuan's expression became extremely ugly.

To reject me, he actually went so far as to leave the sect. Isn't that just slapping himself in the face?!
Cui Dongxuan looked at Gu Ranran and couldn't help but say coldly, "Junior Sister Ranran, although I, Cui Dongxuan, am not a top genius in the entire Great Wu, in Changdong County, my talent among the younger generation is second to none!"

"I've given your Lotus Sect a very polite send-off, and even offered ten thousand S-grade dimensional stones to propose marriage. If you don't give me face, fine, but don't you also give face to our Fire Profound Sect?!"

"You want to leave the sect? That's a slap in the face to me, Cui Dongxuan!"

"Hmph! I'll tell you frankly, if you obediently accept the marriage, I'll let bygones be bygones for your past actions. But if you don't accept, I guarantee that within six months, the Lotus Sect will be extinct in Changdong County!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the elders of the Lotus Sect and Liu Shangyue changed drastically.

They wouldn't consider this just a simple threat, because the Fire Profound Sect has the power to make such a claim.

"Sect Leader Liu, and all the elders, you should know what to do next. I'm only giving you three days."

After saying that, Cui Dongxuan snorted coldly and left with the Third Elder of the Fire Profound Sect.

With Cui Dongxuan's departure, the Lotus Sect disciples outside were thrown into complete panic, and they couldn't help but start discussing among themselves:
"Oh no, now that Saint Cui is angry, if Senior Sister Gu Ranran doesn't agree to the marriage, we probably won't be able to stay in the Lotus Sect."

"Not only can we not stay here, but our lives may also be in danger."

"It's all that woman's fault. The sect poured resources into her cultivation, and now she's still throwing a tantrum!"

"That's right, if Gu Ranran marries into the Fire Profound Sect, our Lotus Sect will not welcome her!"

"Let's go to the council hall together and petition the sect leader to send Gu Ranran to the Fire Profound Sect!"

"That's right, let's all go together!"

"Let's go, everyone!"

Subsequently, a large number of disciples came to the entrance of the council hall, shouting for Gu Ranran to marry into the Huo Xuan Sect.

The Grand Elder of the Lotus Sect in the council hall immediately ordered, "Men, seize Gu Ranran!"

Soon, an SS-level elder made a move.

"What are you trying to do?" Gu Ranran asked coldly.

"What are you doing?" the elder sneered.

"Three days from now, I will send you to the Fire Profound Sect for a marriage alliance!"

"We are both free, why are you forcing me!" Gu Ranran said angrily.

"Free? The sect has invested so many resources in you, and you dare to say you're free? What a joke! Take him down!"

At the Grand Elder's command, the elder who had just attacked Gu Ranran made his move.

At this moment, Gu Ranran also looked at her master, Liu Shangyue.

Liu Shangyue looked troubled, but she didn't say anything to stop it. (End of Chapter)
