Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 548 - 546: The Saintess of Sea Spirit Hall Seeks Reconciliation, Celestial Profound Sect Offers Compensation

"Hiss, just relying on the domain power, it actually put the opponent at a significant disadvantage?!"

"Such a strong domain, I originally thought that the domain of the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess, at such a young age, was already unparalleled in the world, but now it seems..."

Watching the figure flying out, the cultivators below were stunned.

Just now, the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess was suppressing Sang Xiyao of Lingyao Celestial Palace, showcasing the power of a strong Celestial Realm cultivator.

At this moment, she was actually knocked away by someone through a domain collision!

Whoosh...

In the void, the Sea Spirit Saintess flew back over a hundred meters before finally stabilizing her stance.

Her complexion became somewhat solemn; there was no doubt that she lost in the domain clash just now.

After pondering for a moment, the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess said, "Since Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to help Sang Xiyao resolve this grudge, this matter... let’s put it to rest, what do you think, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

The Sea Spirit Saintess was not a fool.

In this brief encounter, it was clear that Lu Ye was not an easy person to deal with.

This level of battle consumes a lot of energy for her, with risks of injury as well.

Especially now, with the Mist Heaven Hall possibly opening at any time, the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess decided to lay low.

Sang Xiyao also came to Lu Ye’s side, saying softly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how about we let it go? The Mist Heaven Hall might open at any moment; we should preserve our strength..."

Hearing Sang Xiyao’s words, after pondering for a moment, Lu Ye nodded and said, "If that’s the case, let’s let it go."

He knew that the high stature of the Sea Spirit Saintess meant she surely had powerful divine techniques at her disposal.

Should the two sides fight to the extreme, other Earth Realm and Celestial Realm competitors would relish in having two strong contenders weakened before the opening.

Upon hearing Lu Ye’s words, the Sea Spirit Saintess didn’t seem angry at being pushed back by domain power earlier; she even smiled and glanced at Lu Ye several times.

"Previously, I hadn’t heard that there was someone like Fellow Daoist Chen in the Celestial Palace."

Lu Ye said calmly, "A recent addition."

Really a newcomer to the Celestial Palace? This makes sense, no wonder she didn’t know him, revealing a hint of realization.

The people below, watching both sides test each other’s domain power and then withdraw, were quite surprised.

"Is this the touch-and-go among masters? I thought there would be a earth-shattering battle."

"Impossible, with the Mist Heaven Hall about to open, if you were in their place, would you fight a clearly strong opponent now and waste your own strength?"

"Certainly, the previous attack was because the Sea Spirit Saintess was far superior to Sang Xiyao, who was in the Earth Realm Ninth Layer in the Celestial Palace, so there was no pressure. Chen Beixuan is different, even the Sea Spirit Saintess suffered a bit under his sudden attack."

"I didn’t expect that this Chen Beixuan from the Northern Territory every time he appears, he’s more terrifying than the last. This time, the Celestial Profound Sect in the Eastern Territory is in luck, as they have previously clashed with Chen Beixuan."

Amid the discussion, Chen Beixuan’s eyes inadvertently scanned the flyboats around him.

This glance really let him discover something.

"Celestial Profound Sect..."

The Celestial Profound Sect’s flyboat was far less luxurious and grand than those of peak forces; without Lu Ye’s careful sensing, it might have been easily overlooked.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Ye directly approached the small flyboat where the Celestial Profound Sect was located next.

The Sea Spirit Saintess turned her eyes, following Lu Ye’s figure, arrived on the side of the Celestial Profound Sect.

Upon seeing it was the Celestial Profound Sect, the Sea Spirit Saintess was puzzled; she knew this sect was a first-class force in Xuanzhou, but the strongest within the sect should be around the Mortal Realm.

If there were any ancient elders, they might barely touch the Earth Realm threshold.

With this level of power, what is Chen Beixuan doing at the Celestial Profound Sect?

Next, the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess saw...

On the Celestial Profound Sect’s flyboat, an elder came out and kept apologizing to Chen Beixuan, then gritted his teeth and took out a bag.

"Elder Chen, I know, previously in our sect, someone with audacious and reckless behavior disrespected you, but at the time, we were truly unaware."

"This is a small token of our sect’s regard towards Elder, fifty Source Crystals, please do not refuse, and as for Ren Congzhou... upon returning, our Celestial Profound Sect has already removed his position as Vice Sect Leader and will expel him from the sect!"

This late-stage Mortal Realm elder spoke while presenting the bag with a smile to where Lu Ye stood.

"Fifty Source Crystals?! The Celestial Profound Sect’s family business shouldn’t be that rich, yet they’re so generous?"

"I don’t think it’s due to the wealth of the Celestial Profound Sect; it’s likely... forcibly gathered, as in Xuanzhou, there have never been many Source Crystal ore veins, and the production and consumption don’t match up at all, but the Celestial Profound Sect probably made preparations, should they truly encounter this God of Slaughter, for the gift matter."

"The Celestial Profound Sect indeed lost blood this time; fifty Source Crystals, their sect elders’ combined annual benefits may only amount to this number."

"I would say, if it can bring about Chen Beixuan’s forgiveness, it’s worth it, this God of Slaughter’s current strength, wiping out the Celestial Profound Sect would be but a matter of a flip in their hands."

"That’s true..."

Among the many low-voiced whispers around, Lu Ye took a slightly furrowed look at the Source Crystal pouch the elder directly handed over and what he said.

On the Celestial Profound Sect’s flyboat, the hearts of those present also seemed to beat intensely, a bit uneasy.

If Chen Beixuan refused...

Unless the Celestial Profound Sect immediately left the Eastern Territory, they faced a potential threat of sect annihilation!

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became silent; everyone knew that if Chen Beixuan didn’t accept, the Celestial Profound Sect would face imminent disaster.

If he accepted, the unlucky ones afterward would be the formerly removed Vice Sect Leader Ren Congzhou and his faction.

"Alright, I’ll accept this token of apology." After pondering for a while, Lu Ye’s calm voice spread across the firmament.

As the words fell, the bag of Source Crystals was also taken by Lu Ye.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Celestial Profound Sect who had been anxious felt a heavy stone crash to the ground in their hearts, with many showing a hint of relief from surviving a calamity.

This was truly a moment of heaven and hell...

"Thank you, Elder Chen! From now on, the gates of our Celestial Profound Sect will always be open to Elder!" The elder who presented the gift felt a bit of sweat on his back.

At the same time, among the crowd, a masked girl in a green dress had her eyes sparkling.
