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

Chapter 252 The Arrival of the Sea Clan
He may appear calm now, but those who truly know him know that he is actually very angry.

“I invited you here out of consideration for the friendship between Miaoyin and your sea tribe, and to save face for your sea tribe. It is not for you to come and demand people, and to make a scene on the territory of my Miaofa Sect.”

Seeing the two men's unpleasant expressions, he stopped trying to smooth things over. "What I mean is that Wen Gui's withdrawal from the sect has nothing to do with my Miaofa Sect anymore!"

The priest's face turned pale and then black, looking extremely grim: "Our clan's crown prince is dead, how can we withdraw from the clan?"

"Naturally, it was the two of you who personally stepped forward to help him withdraw from the sect."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by Elder Miaoyin for doing this?" the priest questioned.

"There's no need for the priest to worry about that. For the sake of the sect's reputation and the dignity of your sea race, I've already shown you face by having you voluntarily leave the sect on behalf of your crown prince, instead of directly expelling him. If you still don't appreciate this, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Don't go too far!" The priest naturally disagreed with the suggestion.

Neither of them had reached the Nascent Soul realm, and both were younger than Rong Ce in terms of bone age. How could they dare to shout and yell in front of a Nascent Soul Venerable?

They lived too comfortably among the sea creatures, always being waited on hand and foot, and were used to bossing others around. Even when they were in front of Nascent Soul cultivators, they didn't change their arrogant attitude.

They take people for granted just because others aren't angry! They think the sea race is so powerful that even the Nascent Soul Venerables of sects are wary of them.

When the two were overwhelmed by the powerful pressure and could hardly breathe, and the fear of death gripped their hearts, they realized that the person in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.

With a mere wave of his hand, his overwhelming power sent the two flying, forcing them to their knees.

At this moment, they cannot stand up and can only become fish on the chopping board.

"If you refuse my polite requests, then I will grant your wish!"

"We...we agree!" The prince, fearing for his life, spoke tremulously.

Rong Ce withdrew his oppressive aura and returned to his good-natured demeanor: "Since you agree, our sect will not spread the news of his fall into demonic ways, lest it bring shame upon your sea race."

He paused for a moment, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Of course, if anyone from your sea tribe can't suppress the news and spreads it, then Wen Gui's withdrawal from the sect will naturally have nothing to do with the Miaofa Sect."

Since it has nothing to do with the sect, the sect's reputation will naturally not be damaged. If anyone gossips about this in the future, the Miaofa Sect has the right to settle accounts.

The matter was settled, and Rong Ce personally led the two to handle Wen Gui's abdication from the sect. Only after everything was completed did he have Wen Gui's body taken away.

In less than a day, the matter was resolved. His already agitated mood was also relieved, and he even personally escorted the two down the mountain.

Watching the group disappear into the distance in a small flying boat, he put away his faint smile and returned to his residence.

The fact that the sea creatures came to process Wen Gui's abdication from the sect was spread by the disciple on duty in the recording hall.

At first, no one believed it, until Venerable Rongce posted a notice in the sect square, and then they believed it to be true.

Many disciples were curious as to why Wen Gui had left the sect. He was a direct disciple of Venerable Miaoyin, and his future was limitless.

He was previously confined as punishment, but wasn't he released during the sect's exchange activities and allowed to move freely? This shows that the sect still values ​​him quite a bit.

What reason could he possibly have to just quit the sect?

Many disciples were puzzled, but Elder Rongce had ordered that the matter be strictly forbidden to be discussed, so they could not ask the elder who was giving the lecture, and could only talk about it in secret.

……

After the event, Li Qiu went to the town's chamber of commerce to make purchases and was unaware of this matter.

When he returned to the sect on his sword, someone pulled him away and secretly asked, "Hey, do you have any inside information? The elders value you, they must have told you something, right?"

"What?" Li Qiu was completely bewildered. She went to town and stayed for two days, feeling that something extraordinary had happened during that time.

"Master Wen Gui has left the sect, don't tell me you didn't know."

"This..." She genuinely didn't know. Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, the disciple released her. "You really don't know anything?"

"I haven't been at the sect these past two days, so I haven't been paying much attention to what other people are doing."

"Sigh~" The disciple sighed and muttered as he was about to walk away when Li Qiu grabbed him.

"Come with me to the cave and we'll have a proper talk."

The disciple, unaware of much of the inside story, recounted everything he knew.

When Li Qiu heard that the announcement was personally issued by Elder Rong Ce, she realized that this matter was not so simple.

After watching the disciple leave, she sat cross-legged in her cave. Reason told her not to pry into matters that didn't concern her, lest she get herself into trouble.

For some reason, she had a premonition that Wen Gui's withdrawal from the sect was inextricably linked to Lin Yan.

She took out her communication jade disc, hesitated for a long time, and finally sent a message to inquire.

At this time, Lin Yan was in seclusion in her cave and didn't care at all about how Elder Rong Ce would handle Wen Gui's matter.

As long as the blame for the murder isn't pinned on him, he doesn't care about anything else.

As the victim, she acted in self-defense. Although both incidents resulted in Wen Gui's death, their natures were completely different.

Upon receiving the message from Li Qiu via the jade disc, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Wen Gui resigned from the sect? How can someone who's already dead resign?
Elder Rong Ce must have been behind this. He didn't use the pretext of expelling them from the sect, probably to save face for the sea tribe.

This move also indicates that Wen Gui has been abandoned.

After thinking for a moment, she replied: I am in seclusion and do not know that he has left the sect.

Just then, a disciple's shout rang out from outside the cave. She got up and went to investigate.

As we approached the cave entrance, a salty, damp smell filled the air. It felt familiar…

Miaofa Sect is not close to the sea, so even if the wind blows from the South China Sea, you shouldn't be able to smell the sea.

A cultivator dressed as a servant disciple stood outside the cave, a smile plastered on his face. He was eagerly anticipating her coming out as she approached the cave entrance.

To his disappointment, the person was still inside the cave, stopped at the edge of the barrier.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to you, Master, someone asked me to tell you that they are waiting for you at the Chamber of Commerce in town."

"Who is waiting for me at the Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Yan asked expressionlessly.

People might believe this if it happened to someone else. Because they have many social interactions, they might have things they can't say on a messaging app, so they use this method.

But that wouldn't apply to her. There was simply no one she had a life-or-death bond with, no one who couldn't easily come to the Miaofa Sect, and no one she could contact using the jade disc.

It's made to seem mysterious, but it's full of loopholes.

She also confirmed several times that the person smelled of the sea.

The servants of the Miaofa Sect are proficient in basic life skills and magic, and they are always clean. Some of them even carry sachets, so they would never have this kind of smell.

Just as the other person was about to speak, she quickly threw out the Binding Immortal Rope, catching him off guard and binding him up.

The man panicked immediately, "Master... what does Master mean by this?"

“Of course…” Her eyes changed in a second.
