526: Chapter 526 Rejection

The entire arena, with millions of Cultivators, erupted in chaos at this moment.

"What an Opportunity that so many dream of, and yet it falls to that guy again!"

"To be able to take a Peak Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator as a master, how many detours could one avoid!"

"Envy is useless; it wouldn't be our turn anyway!"

"That's not right. Wasn't Yun Zhiyi already betrothed to Chi Zhongtian? How could it be changed at the last minute!"

...

Chi Zhongtian's Face was livid, and he immediately jumped out to stop it. "Old Ancestor, Zhiyi has already been betrothed to me by the Sect Master. How can she be betrothed to someone else!"

"It is not that this Old Ancestor intends to tear you two apart, but rather that Zhiyi has no romantic feelings for you. If you were forced to marry, it would only harm each other."

"Old Ancestor, feelings can be cultivated!" Chi Zhongtian was on the verge of tears. What about his Fire Spirit Source Power!

"Since the elimination round began, Zhiyi's gaze has fallen on Xiao Chen 365 times. You were sitting right next to her; did you not notice at all?"

"..."

Chi Zhongtian was struck by lightning, his body frozen in place. He turned his neck with extreme stiffness, only to find that the girl he admired already had a flushed Face.

That was clearly the shyness of a young girl whose secret had been exposed.

"You need not be so sad. While one lives in this world, there is no need to worry about not having a wife! Furthermore, you are the number one Saint of our Yuntian Sect."

"Old Ancestor, this Disciple understands."

Chi Zhongtian returned to his seat, gritting his teeth, his fists clenched involuntarily. At this moment, his killing intent toward Xiao Chen reached a new height.

"Xiao Chen, although there have been some minor frictions between you and our Yuntian Sect, in consideration of your talent, this old man can let bygones be bygones; at the same time, this old man will do his utmost to pass on all that he has learned in his life, and I hope that you and Zhiyi can be united in heart forever."

Look!

How sweet these words sounded; I almost believed them!

Xiao Chen's expression was calm, but he was full of contempt inside. These old monsters who had lived for ten thousand years truly did not blush when they told lies.

Among the crowd, a Prodigy couldn't help but complain: "Things have already been laid out like this, how can that guy still keep his cool!"

"Exactly! Agree quickly!"

"To take a Peak Soul Transformation Stage expert as a master and win the favor of a Beauty, yet he is actually acting proud!"

"Hmph, he just knows how to put on an act! He'll have to agree later anyway!"

...

"Hahaha!"

Wan Juechen laughed loudly toward the sky at the right moment, his voice particularly harsh in the vast space. "It seems he is a person of principle who doesn't seem to appreciate someone's kindness!"

Hearing this, Ancestor Yun Ting frowned, his voice turning a degree colder. "Xiao Chen, tell this old man your decision now."

"I am unwilling."

The three simple words fell like a boulder into a calm lake, instantly stirring up huge waves across the entire Yuntian Holy Realm.

"What! He actually refused!"

A gasp erupted from the crowd. "He's simply crazy! Refusing a Peak Soul Transformation Stage expert, is his brain kicked by a donkey?"

Yun Zhiyi looked up abruptly, her pretty Face deathly pale, the corners of her lips trembling slightly.

She never expected that the man who had a Soul connection with her in the Flowing Light Illusory Realm would refuse to take responsibility for her.

Facing the olive branch thrown by the Sect, along with an Opportunity to marry her, he gave a heartless refusal.

"You scoundrel! From now on, I never want to see you again!"

Yun Zhiyi stood up immediately, her moist, red-rimmed eyes glaring fiercely at Xiao Chen, before flying out of the Yuntian Holy Realm without looking back.

"Hey..."

Xiao Chen reached out, but didn't know what to say. She was too simple; she probably naively thought that the Yuntian Sect would really reconcile with him.

Ji Wushuang and Liu Luoying were also full of confusion. Even if he wanted to refuse, he shouldn't have stated it so openly and burned the bridges.

"This kid actually dares to refuse. He must not see the situation clearly!" The Young Patriarch of the Gangli Clan said with disdain.

The Ancestor of the Gangli Clan shook his head and replied in a low voice: "No, he has long since seen through the situation."

On the Yuntian Sect's seating area, Chi Zhongtian's expression was even uglier than if he had eaten excrement. The Saintess he yearned for was actually treated as disposable in Xiao Chen's eyes!

Although Ancestor Yun Ting had no ripples on his Face, his heart was already churning with huge waves. He had always been satisfied with his acting skills, but why didn't this young man take the bait?

He had to endure his temper and ask: "Xiao Chen, tell me the reason."

"I am originally a Disciple of the Qixia Sect. Switching to another Sect is no different from betrayal. Although I could obtain supreme Opportunity, I would inevitably be despised by the people of the world."

"You must think clearly about the price of refusing our Yuntian Sect."

"In this life, life and death are fated, and wealth is determined by heaven. Some grudges, although one can avoid them for a while by relying on others' protection, cannot be avoided for a lifetime."

"Hahaha..."

Wan Juechen laughed somewhat hideously, his old Face tightening with wrinkles. "Xiao Chen, this old man suddenly likes you a little bit! Hahaha..."

"Oh?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, pretending to be delighted. "Does that mean your Wanxiang Temple also has a beautiful girl you want to betroth to me?"

"Pfft!"

Ji Wushuang stifled a laugh and muttered: "This guy, even at this point, still has the heart to tease!"

The corner of Wan Juechen's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ancestor Yun Ting nonchalantly. "Old Ghost Yun, it's not that this old man doesn't give you Face, but this kid doesn't know what's good for him. I'll be taking him away then!"

"Wait!"

A furious shout, laden with anger, echoed throughout the Yuntian Holy Realm. Following that, a streak of yellow light flew over at high speed, stirring up long space ripples.

Upon approaching, it slowly transformed into a Nascent Soul only one meter tall.

"True Lord Yunhe!"

Water Cloud Comfort exclaimed. That Nascent Soul's appearance was exactly the Crane in the Clouds who had fought side by side with her outside the Tianchan Sect.

This exclamation immediately caused a heated discussion among everyone present. True Lord Yunhe was a famous Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator; how did he become like this!

Xiao Chen glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Wan Juechen scanned him impatiently, unable to hide his shock. The Physical Body of a third-level Soul Transformation Stage had actually been destroyed; it was shocking!

"What do you have to say?"

Crane in the Clouds pointed at Xiao Chen. "This thief once killed the Divine Soul of True Lord Yuntian in the Purple Cloud Palace Secret Realm; afterwards, he incited this old guy to destroy my Physical Body!"

On the seating area, millions of Cultivators were all stunned.

"Hmm?"

Ancestor Yun Ting turned around abruptly and asked in shock: "There is such a thing?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly. If the Cultivation World had an Oscar, I would have to give you the Best Actor award!

Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, now he's starting to play hardball.

Unfortunately, I don't respond to either soft or hard tactics!

"Grandfather, you have been in seclusion for years and do not attend to Sect affairs, so naturally you do not know, but this matter is something your grandson experienced personally."

"You wretch Xiao Chen!"

Ancestor Yun Ting swept his gaze sharply, staring straight at him. "It was a waste of this old man's heart and lungs for you, yet you dared to commit such a monstrous disaster!"
