132: Chapter 132 Pulling the Sect Leader into My Arms! This elder is quite pleased with your figure!

The main hall fell silent for a moment.

Qin Canglan stood frozen in place, her exquisite face filled with bewilderment.

She had presided over the Hehuan Sect for centuries and had seen many storms.

But today's news had completely overturned her understanding of the world.

He killed an Elder of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

He abducted the Saintess of Taiyi.

And he even planned to personally go to their doorstep to protect her Dao.

This Cao Kun had truly poked a hole in the heavens!

“Did he really say that?” Qin Canglan asked through gritted teeth.

“It is absolutely true. At that time, Cultivators from hundreds of Sects were gathered outside the Secret Realm; everyone heard it clearly.”

“Chu Qianqiu was so angry he spat blood, but due to the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation and being unable to gauge the Hehuan Sect’s depth, he didn't dare to make a move.”

Qin Canglan rubbed her temples, feeling a sharp pain in her head.

“He is pushing our Hehuan Sect into a fiery pit!”

Chu Qianqiu hadn't acted because he was wary.

The terrifying Lightning Tribulation triggered when Cao Kun formed his Nascent Soul half a month ago...

...had misled the outside world into thinking the Hehuan Sect was guarded by a Half-step Void Refinement powerhouse.

Cao Kun was clearly exploiting this information gap, using a tiger's skin as a banner.

But how long could this tiger's skin last?

The Taiyi Dao Sect would surely investigate the truth.

When that time came, the Hehuan Sect would face a catastrophic disaster.

Below the platform, several other Peak Masters also looked pale, exchanging glances with each other.

“Sect Master, how about... we expel Elder Cao from the Sect first to clear our relationship?”

A Peak Master suggested weakly.

Qin Canglan looked up, her phoenix eyes wide with anger.

“Expel him from the Sect? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?”

She snorted coldly, a complex look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“Given Cao Kun's current strength and potential, there might still be a turning point.”

“Furthermore, he even won over the Saintess of Taiyi. The variables involved... no one can say for sure.”

Cao Kun's current strength was unfathomable, and his growth speed was even more appalling.

She couldn't possibly hand over Cao Kun.

If the Hehuan Sect wanted to survive the coming great tribulation...

...they had to be tied to Cao Kun's war chariot.

“Relay my decree.” Qin Canglan's gaze gradually became fierce.

“Activate the highest level of defense for the Sect Protection Array. All Inner Sect Disciples traveling abroad are to be recalled immediately.”

“The entire Sect is to enter a state of maximum alert.”

“Yes!” The Peak Masters of each Peak accepted the order in unison.

“Also,” Qin Canglan paused,

“send people to keep watch outside the mountain gate. Once Elder Cao returns, immediately invite him to the Main Peak to see me.”

She now only hoped that Cao Kun would return quickly.

Since this troublemaker dared to utter such bold words...

...he had better truly have a trump card in his hand that could oppose the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Otherwise, the thousands of years of foundation of the Hehuan Sect might truly be destroyed in an instant.

...

Inside the flying boat, the Cultivation session finally ended.

Yun Xiyue was panting heavily, her eyes hazy, no longer possessing the slightest bit of the coldness of an icy older sister figure.

Cao Kun admired her charming state and nodded in satisfaction.

He then took out the newly acquired limited edition jade beast ring from the System space.

“Put it on.”

Yun Xiyue subconsciously raised her snow-white neck, allowing Cao Kun to fasten the beast ring.

With a flash of light,

the originally metallic-textured jade ring transformed into a short necklace woven from exquisite white silk threads.

In the center, it was adorned with a pair of small, delicate wings that seemed to be condensed from moonlight.

It fit her fair skin perfectly.

It added a touch of beauty where holiness and abstinence intertwined.

Yun Xiyue reached out to touch it gently, the silky, cool sensation making her heart tremble.

“Do you like it?” Cao Kun's voice rang in her ear.

Yun Xiyue's cheeks flushed red as she hummed an “Mhm.”

“After you return to the Miaoyin Sect, if the people from the Ji Family come looking,”

Cao Kun toyed with her hair while giving instructions nonchalantly,

“tell them that Ji Jinian became greedy in the ancient Cultivator's Immortal Cave, triggered an ancient Restriction, and was trapped.”

“He won't be coming out for a short while.”

“Ji Wuli is suspicious by nature and as cunning as a fox. What if he insists on seeing the person?”

Yun Xiyue looked up, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

“He wants to see the person?”

Cao Kun leaned in close to Yun Xiyue's ear, his tone becoming a bit more serious.

“Then tell him to come find me at the Hehuan Sect.”

His warm breath made Yun Xiyue's earlobes burn hot.

The last trace of doubt in her heart dissipated.

With this man around, even if the sky fell, it seemed it wouldn't hit her head.

“Xiyue... understands.”

She lowered her head and replied obediently.

“Go on then. If there are no issues, come back quickly.”

“I haven't had enough of your top-grade Water Spirit Root yet.”

Cao Kun gave a heavy slap to that perky spot.

“Ah...”

Yun Xiyue let out a startled cry and gave Cao Kun a shameful, indignant glare.

She then turned into a streak of white light, hurriedly rushing out of the flying boat and disappearing into the distant sea of clouds.

“Tsk, she sure runs fast.”

Watching Yun Xiyue's disappearing back, Meng Yudie curled her lips on the side.

A sour jealousy almost overflowed.

“Master is just letting her go like that? Aren't you afraid she won't come back once she returns to the Miaoyin Sect?”

She spoke sarcastically, yet her small hands honestly wrapped around Cao Kun's arm.

“She can't run. Her heart has long been tied down by me.”

Cao Kun reached out and pulled.

He pulled Meng Yudie's voluptuous body into his arms.

His palm unceremoniously roamed over that water-snake waist.

“What? Now that Grand Elder Yun is gone, you, the Baihua Peak Master, are starting to get an itchy skin?”

“I didn't...”

Meng Yudie leaned into Cao Kun's embrace and said coquettishly:

“I was just worried about Master.”

...

The flying boat was extremely fast.

Before long, the mountain gate of the Hehuan Sect appeared in their field of vision.

Just as the two of them flew into the mountain gate,

they saw Sect Master Qin Canglan leading Xie Wuwang and several other Peak Masters, as well as a crowd of Inner Sect Disciples.

They were standing in neat formation on the square outside the Main Peak's hall, the atmosphere solemn.

“Welcome back, Grand Elder!”

Thousands of Disciples shouted in unison, their voices echoing endlessly through the mountains and valleys.

Seeing Cao Kun's figure, Qin Canglan's tense face relaxed slightly.

But when her gaze fell upon Meng Yudie beside Cao Kun, stormy waves rose in her heart.

Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak?

She remembered that Meng Yudie had only just formed her Nascent Soul before entering the Secret Realm, right? It had only been a few days?

She went out once with Cao Kun and broke through again?

Qin Canglan's gaze subconsciously swept back and forth between Meng Yudie and Cao Kun.

That absurd thought surfaced in her mind once more.

How is it that every one of Cao Kun's Dao Companions seems to be popping Immortal Pills? Their cultivation levels keep soaring. Where is the justice in this?

“Elder Cao.”

Qin Canglan suppressed the shock in her heart and took light steps forward to meet him.

Dressed in a red dress, her figure was plump, mature, and beautiful, swaying gracefully as she walked.

She possessed a unique charm from having been in a high position for a long time.

“You've certainly done quite a few earth-shattering things on this trip.”

Her tone carried a bit of helplessness and a bit of inquiry.

“Sect Master, don't look at me with those eyes, or I'll think you've fallen in love with me.”

Cao Kun's gaze unscrupulously sized up Qin Canglan's ripe and seductive figure.

(. | .)

Mhm, the real deal, those breasts aren't small.

“Sect Master flatters me; it was just standard operation,” he brushed it off casually.

“What? Did the Sect Master put on such a grand show just to welcome this Grand Elder's triumphant return?”

Qin Canglan gave him a sidelong glance.

This look was full of charm, causing the nearby Peak Masters to quickly lower their heads, not daring to look further.

“The Taiyi Dao Sect lost an Elder, and their Saintess underwent a tribulation in public. You even claimed you would go to protect her Dao.”

Qin Canglan's tone was serious.

“Although Chu Qianqiu didn't act on the spot, the Taiyi Dao Sect will never swallow this insult.”

“I just want to ask, is that Saintess of Taiyi, Luo Qingcheng, really your woman now?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding noisy Disciples fell silent.

Thousands of ears perked up in unison.

Cao Kun chuckled, suddenly reaching out to pull Qin Canglan's rounded shoulder into his embrace and whispering in her ear:

“Not just her person, but even her heart is mine. Why, does the Sect Master want to try my methods too?”

Qin Canglan
