48: The sect leader's Dao heart shattered: This shameless woman who rose to power by relying on male beauty!

Boom—!!!

Relinquish! The! Sect! Master! Position!

These words, like ten thousand universes, simultaneously detonated in everyone's minds!

Everyone was stunned!

Completely dumbfounded!

They stared blankly at the Former Sect Master, whose face was ashen, who was slumped on the ground, and whose eyes were filled with endless regret and disbelief.

Then they looked at the man, who remained calm and composed, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Their brains completely crashed!

No one expected it!

No one could understand it!

The Old Ancestor actually... in order to keep an outsider!

A man!

Actually, personally deposed her own direct disciple, who had governed the sect for two hundred years?!

What... what the hell is going on?!

Why?!

Why would the Old Ancestor favor Lin Chen?!

He's clearly just a man!

Yun Yun, she was the Old Ancestor's most beloved child!

At this moment.

Even Lin Chen couldn't figure out what this beautiful young madam, the Old Ancestor, was thinking.

He had thought that his words would, at most, make the other party feel regret, and then let him leave.

He had even prepared for the other party to become enraged, forcing him to use his trump card again and forcefully carve out a bloody path.

But he never expected... that the other party would make such an... absurd decision!

To keep him, she actually... deposed the Sect Master on the spot?!

This move... is simply too grand!

Her intentions are definitely not small!

But before Lin Chen could ponder further, the Old Ancestor spoke again.

Her gentle, beautiful eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through all illusions in the world, once again fell upon Lin Chen, and a benevolent smile reappeared on her face.

“Now, Lin Chen, are you satisfied?”

“Are you willing to join my sect now?”

Her voice was still gentle.

But this time, it carried an undeniable implication.

As if to say: I've already gone this far; if you still don't know what's good for you, then the consequences... might not be pleasant.

In an instant, everyone's gaze once again focused on Lin Chen!

Everyone's hearts were in their throats!

Agree! Hurry and agree!

The Old Ancestor even deposed the Sect Master for you! What else are you dissatisfied with?!

Even Luo Bingli was frantically winking at Lin Chen from the side, anxious!

In her opinion, this was already the best possible outcome in the world!

Lin Chen looked at the beautiful young madam before him, who was smiling, yet full of oppressive presence.

Then he glanced at the Former Sect Master Yun Yun, who was slumped on the ground like a defeated dog.

In his heart, he instantly understood.

He knew.

He no longer had any room to refuse.

Or rather... there was no longer any need to refuse.

Since this "Old Ancestor" had cleared the biggest obstacle for him with such great courage.

If he were to insist on leaving now, it would seem... a bit petty.

What's more... he had also developed a strong interest in this "Old Ancestor" who completely disregarded conventional methods.

Staying to see what tricks she wanted to play...

Seemed... like a good choice too.

Thinking this, a genuine smile finally appeared on Lin Chen's face.

He bowed slightly to the unfathomable "Queen" before him, and in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, yet carried a hint of solemnity, he slowly said:

“Old Ancestor, with your discerning eye and profound sincerity,”

“If this disciple, Lin Chen, were to decline again, it would seem ungrateful.”

“From today onwards,”

“This disciple is willing to join the Purple Cloud Holy Land.”

“But I only ask... for clarity of thought and freedom in cultivation.”

“Good!”

Upon hearing this, a dazzling brilliance finally burst forth from the Old Ancestor's gentle and beautiful eyes!

This was precisely the sentence she wanted from Lin Chen!

“This Seat grants it!”

She announced loudly, her voice resounding throughout heaven and earth!

“From today onwards, Lin Chen shall be the Purple Cloud Holy Land’s first... Saint in history!”

“His status is equal to this Seat’s!”

“Seeing the Saint is like seeing this Seat!”

“All resources of the sect, both high and low, are at his disposal! All his commands, none shall dare to disobey!”

Boom—!!!

This was no longer a simple “joining”!

This was clearly... giving the entire Purple Cloud Holy Land as a "meeting gift" to Lin Chen!

The Old Ancestor's words, filled with supreme divine power, were like bolts of heavenly thunder, striking deep into everyone's souls!

The entire place once again fell into complete, numb petrification!

Wh-what?!

This... this was... such an outcome?!

Everyone was stunned!

Completely dumbfounded!

Their brains were utterly unable to process this utterly fantastical scene before their eyes!

Deposing the Sect Master, just to keep him.

And after keeping him, she actually... directly handed over the highest authority of the entire sect to him?!

A... man?!

What... what the hell is she doing?!

And the Former Sect Master, Yun Yun, who was slumped on the ground, upon hearing this final verdict, her already ashen eyes were instantly filled with endless shock, unwillingness, and a surging... monstrous jealousy!

She stared blankly at the man standing beside the Old Ancestor, receiving supreme glory, as if the entire world was crowning him.

Then she looked at the Old Ancestor, who had a gentle smile on her face from beginning to end, as if she was looking at her most beloved possession.

An absurd yet "reasonable" thought, like a venomous snake, instantly and wildly sprouted in her heart!

(I... I understand!)

(I finally understand!)

She looked at Lin Chen's face, so handsome that it could drive any woman mad.

Looking at his seemingly calm, yet in reality, full of "masculine charm" demeanor.

She finally found what she believed to be the only true explanation for all the illogical things happening before her eyes!

(An illusion! It must be an illusion!)

(No! No, that's not right! It's even more terrifying than an illusion!)

A flicker of realization, and even more biting resentment, flashed in Yun Yun's eyes.

(It's... it's male charm!)

(This little beast! He... he must have used some ancient secret technique I don't know about, disguised himself as a pure Yang body, and then used his face and his body to seduce... the Old Ancestor, who has been in seclusion for years and avoids men!)

(Yes! It must be like this!)

Thinking this, Yun Yun was 100% certain!

(Otherwise, it simply cannot be explained! Otherwise, how could the Old Ancestor abandon her, Yun Yun, for an outsider, a man?! Abandon her, who was the most obedient, most filial, most favored... child!)

(This slut who relies on her looks to get ahead!)

At this moment, all of Yun Yun's unwillingness, regret, and fear in her heart transformed into the most biting and profound... hatred for Lin Chen!

In her eyes, Lin Chen had used the most despicable and vile means to steal everything that rightfully belonged to her!

He stole the Old Ancestor's "love" for her!

She bit her lip tightly, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

She uttered the most malicious curse in her heart.

(Lin Chen! Don't be so smug!)

(Men are ultimately just playthings!)

(When the Old Ancestor gets tired of you and drains you dry, your fate will definitely be a hundred times! A thousand times! more miserable than mine!)

(I'll wait! I will personally watch you fall from heaven into hell!)
