Chapter 129 The Blessing of Having Multiple Women

As this thought emerged, everyone held their breath, completely unwilling to believe it was true, yet they could not conjure a second explanation.

Li Minghe was a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm; few people among the Nine Great Sects would dare claim they could easily defeat him, let alone put him to death.

Although Extreme Thunder Valley was one of the Four Great Forbidden Lands, many people had explored it before.

Although that place was a bit dangerous, Core Formation Realm Cultivators could almost never die inside if they were careful, completely ruling out the possibility of Li Minghe dying by accident.

The string of news made the South Continent seem like it had exploded, but compared to Li Minghe's death, more people cared about the White Lotus Sect merging with the Joyous Union Sect.

The strength of the Joyous Union Sect was already the leader among the Middle Three Sects, and now, having absorbed the core power of the White Lotus Sect, its strength had greatly increased, subtly showing a trend of being able to rival the Upper Three Sects.

The Nine Great Sects were far from as harmonious as they appeared on the surface, and because the Joyous Union Sect had recently gained immense prestige due to Ye Fan's performance, it had invisibly benefited, thus incurring the dissatisfaction of many.

Although they had not yet acted out, the Joyous Union Sect vaguely sensed signs of impending storms.

But at this moment, the entire Joyous Union Sect's attention was focused on finding Ye Fan; temporarily, no one had noticed these things.

Several days passed. Although Ye Fan was still unheard of, his life tablet had not shattered, which meant his life was not in danger.

Qing Mingzi and the others, though anxious, could finally breathe a slight sigh of relief, secretly calculating that Ye Fan must be in hiding to recuperate.

Ye Fan happened to run into the Disciples who had gone out searching upon his return today. After learning everything, he quickly returned to the Sect to report that he was safe.

Seeing Ye Fan return unharmed, Qing Mingzi and the others were overjoyed and quickly pulled him aside to ask what had happened and whether Li Minghe's death was related to him!

Ye Fan had long prepared his explanation on the road. While he admitted to the event, he altered the details.

He plainly stated that Li Minghe was trapped in Extreme Thunder Valley by his Formation and was worn down to death by countless heavenly thunders.

As for the trump cards he possessed, Ye Fan would not reveal them easily.

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone still gasped when they heard this.

Even though Ye Fan had utilized the right time and place to achieve the counter-kill, a win was a win. Even a Core Formation Realm Cultivator would not boast of being able to kill Li Minghe under the same circumstances.

If this news spread, the South Continent would likely erupt in another huge uproar.

For the purpose of protecting Ye Fan, Qing Mingzi ordered the news to be sealed.

After all, the enemies of the Joyous Union Sect were not just the Demonic Path; some people probably also did not wish to see their Daozi of the Joyous Union Sect grow so terrifyingly powerful.

Qing Mingzi hurriedly informed Su Ningxue and the others that Ye Fan was safe, and they returned to the Sect at the fastest possible speed.

The few women met and were speechless for a moment, clearly understanding each other's feelings.

Finally, it was Yun Li who directly threw herself into Ye Fan's arms, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"Stinky Senior Brother, you almost scared me to death!"

Yun Li looked on the verge of tears, causing Ye Fan to feel endless apology. He could only rub her little head to comfort her.

"Don't be so reckless again in the future," Su Ningxue admonished him reproachfully in the end.

"We will remember Revered Master's teachings."

Murong Wan glanced at You Tan not far away, clearly having heard that it was she who had saved Ye Fan.

"Thank you."

You Tan was slightly taken aback, then revealed a benevolent smile, and the two women finally completely buried the hatchet.

The people from the White Lotus Sect were also properly settled. Qing Mingzi clearly had no intention of breaking his promise; he separately designated a spiritual energy-rich peak within the Sect and renamed it White Lotus Peak.

Not only did You Suyi take on the position of Peak Revered Master, but the other four Core Formation Realm Cultivators were permitted to enter the Elder Hall, gaining certain rights to discuss matters. Even the previously agreed upon Heavenly Dao Oath was no longer mentioned.

Due to the large number of female Disciples in the White Lotus Sect, Qing Mingzi worried that some Disciples might act rashly, so he strictly ordered Disciples from other peaks not to enter White Lotus Peak casually, assigning Tie Wuqing to personally supervise.

This series of decisive actions demonstrated the sincerity of the Joyous Union Sect.

You Suyi and the others were momentarily dazed and quite moved, which invisibly eliminated many barriers between them.

The Demonic Path forces were also severely weakened due to the White Lotus Sect's 'betrayal,' especially the Blood Demon Sect, which fell into internal strife following Li Minghe's death.

Several candidates eligible to become the Sect Master began fighting fiercely, and the entire Sect faced a crisis of disintegration.

With the Demonic Path forces declining, they were powerless to contend for the Ruins of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The forces of the Four Sects quietly withdrew. The Righteous-Demonic War, which was ready to begin, ended before it even started—this was something no one had expected.

All of this was the chain reaction caused by Ye Fan killing Li Minghe. Even he had not expected the situation to develop to this extent.

The outside world was in chaos, but Ye Fan found himself enjoying rare leisure.

Ye Fan had already planned to shuttle between Profound Spirit Peak and White Lotus Peak, but Murong Wan said something astonishing.

"Now that everyone is here, stop hiding. There are plenty of rooms in the Immortal Cave," Murong Wan said without turning back.

Ye Fan froze in place as if petrified. When he snapped back to reality, he nearly burst out laughing. He felt incredibly fortunate to have such an understanding wife.

Ye Fan picked up Murong Wan and rushed into the room, preparing to express his gratitude through practical actions.

"Let's agree first, you are not allowed to disturb me," Murong Wan said, her face flushed.

Ye Fan verbally agreed, but his mind was already racing.

That familiar smile made Murong Wan instantly realize what he was thinking, and her pretty face instantly turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

"Don't even think about that kind of thing... Give up that idea early..." Murong Wan scolded with a red face.

"What idea? I don't understand?"

Ye Fan wore an expression of pure innocence. Anyone who didn't know him would probably be fooled.

"Stop playing coy. You just want... No means no..."

"Really... no..."

"No..."

"...Mmm... Yes..."

The two discussed this matter for several hours. Murong Wan finally yielded under Ye Fan's silver tongue and could only nod in agreement.

But as soon as Ye Fan left the room, the shy Murong Wan used the excuse of entering closed-door cultivation to completely cut off contact with the outside world. This self-deceptive action made Ye Fan unable to help but laugh.

Ye Fan then went to White Lotus Peak. Given his special status, he didn't even need any announcement and soon met You Tan.

After a few days, You Tan still possessed that charming and moving appearance. Every frown and smile captivated the heart, whetting Ye Fan's appetite. He immediately pulled her into his embrace.

Ye Fan whispered sweet nothings in her ear, inviting You Tan to move to Profound Spirit Peak to live with him.

Although she knew this day would come, You Tan feigned modesty and asked a question.

"Live together... Under what pretense?"

"Naturally, as my Dao Companion."
