After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Is Chapter 250 even useful? She's not going out!

The sea tribe obviously didn't believe it and said they would come to Miaofa Sect in person to demand an explanation.

The communication device was disconnected. He rubbed his temples, annoyed by the distraction caused by such complicated matters.

That's fine. Now that the sea creatures have arrived, they can take the corpses back with them. It's inconvenient for him to deal with them anyway.

Wen Gui's body is stored in an ice jade coffin, which can preserve it for a hundred years without it deteriorating. When the sea tribe arrives, they can hand over the complete body.

Now we should thank that girl for leaving him a whole body; if it were Duan Yi, he would have been torn to pieces or reduced to dust.

……

After eliminating the threat of Wen Gui, Lin Yan was in high spirits and no longer needed to pretend to be injured, so she continued to participate in the following activities.

The elder even used his spiritual power to check her injuries and, seeing that they were not serious, allowed her to participate in the next sparring session.

After several rounds of competition, the elder nodded in satisfaction, extremely pleased with her. If he weren't afraid to poach her from Duan Yi, he would have loved to take her under his wing.

The disciple she defeated finally understood why she had become the champion of the competition. Everyone used magic weapons of the same grade, yet they felt the pressure emanating from her during the competition, which made them fearful.

Among the disciples who came to exchange ideas, some used a recording stone to record her competition and exchanged skills, and posted it on the Jade Disc Square with an exaggerated title, attracting many cultivators to watch.

Lin Yan has become a minor celebrity again, without her even realizing it.

They couldn't kill her outside, and she's still thriving in the Miaofa Sect, which infuriates those who want her dead. They think they'll crush her once she leaves the Miaofa Sect.

Lin Yan naturally knew that many people were waiting for her to leave the Miaofa Sect, but she was not to their liking. She planned to go into seclusion on Guiyun Peak for a few years after this event to improve her strength before going out.

Simply closing herself off to cultivate without gaining experience would slow down her progress, but this was a helpless decision she had made after careful consideration.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more afraid of death one actually is.

They cultivate to increase their lifespan in order to achieve immortality. Therefore, many people choose to go into seclusion to cultivate after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, attempting to make up for lost experience over time.

However, very few people can actually succeed in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage through seclusion. And even fewer can break through to the Deity Transformation stage through seclusion.

She knew this, and she didn't intend to stay in her cave forever until her lifespan ended. However, she needed time to grow, but those who wanted to kill her wouldn't give her that time.

Avoiding their sharp edge and gaining a few years of time is the most suitable choice right now.

"What are you thinking about? I called you from far away and you didn't hear me." Li Qiu walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

Lin Yan's sparring match was over, but the others were still going, so she sat in the rest area waiting to be dismissed, and also to watch the other people's matches.

"Nothing, is there something you need?"

"I'm asking if you're going to attend your afternoon class?"

Hearing that Lin Yan seemed to be thinking of some unpleasant scene, she instinctively felt some resistance.

Seeing that her expression was off, Li Qiu added, "It's okay if you don't go. You haven't joined a sect, so you don't need to attend classes like a disciple."

"Can't Golden Core cultivators all give lectures? Why do we still need to attend lectures?" She quickly calmed down and asked with a puzzled look.

"Of course not, there are age requirements too. In addition to reaching the Golden Core realm, one's bone age must also be over fifty. Golden Core cultivators under thirty-five years old still have to attend classes."

She chuckled after hearing this: "I didn't know much about it when I was in the sect."

Now it was Li Qiu's turn to feel awkward. Having witnessed her ordeal during the Immortal Sect Competition, she knew that the other party had fared extremely poorly in her previous sect, and mentioning the sect again would be like rubbing salt into her wounds. "Well... actually..." Li Qiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I need to go back to cultivate, so I won't be attending the class. Please tell the elder for me."

Li Qiu nodded. Just then, the morning's sparring matches ended, and the elder announced the disbandment.

Lin Yan quickly slipped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Back in her cave, she immediately began meditating and cultivating. Completely unaware that she had just been praised in the Jade Disc Square, she was now being scolded; the tide had turned remarkably quickly.

It's unclear whether someone hated her or had other reasons, but they posted the scene of her stabbing Mo Yu during the competition in Mo City.

Everyone is condemning her for being cold-blooded, ruthless, and vicious.

"How vicious! Someone challenged her to a duel, confessed their feelings to her, and not only did she reject them, she actually betrayed them!"

"What a vicious person! If you don't like them, please don't hurt them!"

"This female cultivator was the champion of the Immortal Sect Competition. I heard she was expelled from her previous sect and became a rogue cultivator. I didn't understand why such a talented disciple would be expelled from the sect before, but after reading this, I understand. It was right to expel such a vicious person from the sect!"

While she was being condemned, some people began to muddy the waters, using euphemisms to obscure the fact that she had been bullied in the sect and forced to leave.

They even attempted to frame her, smear her, and cover up the fact that the Xuan Tian Sect's peak master had fallen into demonic possession.

If Yu Die's friend hadn't messaged her to ask about stabbing Mo Yu and told her that someone was slandering her in the comments section, she wouldn't have known that someone was stirring up trouble.

Fortunately, there were many cultivators at the Immortal Sect Competition, and many of them knew the truth and were not misled.

Some people really can't stand seeing her doing well at Guiyun Peak and want to smear her to ruin her image and cause her to be ostracized.

Would it be of any use? If she wanted, she could go into seclusion on Guiyun Peak and refuse to receive any outside information.

Her mindset wasn't so weak that it could be broken by a few words.

Their attempts to muddy the waters have only brought back posts that were almost forgotten to the surface.

Most people were just watching the show, while others wanted to protect themselves and wouldn't speak up for her.

The original intention of the comments section of that post was to smear her and make her too ashamed to stay at Guiyun Peak. However, rational people were not swayed by some of the comments.

Instead, because there were so many people watching the drama, posts from the Immortal Sect Competition were dug up again.

Posts about sect bullying and Venerable Lingyun's fall into demonic possession resurfaced. Compared to her stabbing Mo Yu during the competition, matters concerning the sect were more appealing.

The post was dug up again, and some people started to get anxious.

All the fuss was useless; the criticism would still be leveled up, the hype would die down after two days, and people would lose interest in it again.

The reputation of Xuantian Sect was damaged once again. From then on, posts about Xuantian Sect would be brought up again at every disciple recruitment conference and immortal sect competition. People with some financial resources would generally not choose Xuantian Sect.

The events at Jade Disc Square didn't affect Lin Yan at all; she continued living her life as usual.

Even the disciples who sparred with her believed that there was a reason why she stabbed Mo Yu with her sword that day.

While she was resting, someone ran up to the rest area and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

She smiled and said, "Isn't it something you wanted to ask too?"
