War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The others from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect felt chills running up their spines upon hearing the words of their Sect Leader and Grand Elder. It was obvious the duo did not plan to give in to the Cold Drizzle Sect.

Everyone in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect knew how much their Sect Leader cared about her disciple, Duan Si Ling. Moreover, Duan Si Ling had been in the sect for so long so they were familiar with her character. Duan Si Ling would never wrong her master nor would she do anything that would get expelled from the sect. Therefore, most of them knew the expulsion was just a way to protect Duan Si Ling.

Unsurprisingly, and just as it should be, there were many elders disciples from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect who were dissatisfied. However, what else could they do at this point?

'What's Sect Leader and the Grand Elder thinking? Are they really going to destroy the sect?"

"So the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder is going to throw all our lives away in order to save one person?"

"Why must I die for Duan Si Ling?"

"Why are we brought into this? Although Junior Sister Si Ling is kind and has a good reputation in the sect, it doesn't mean that I'm willing to die for her. Am I wrong for thinking this?"

"Why don't we leave the sect now?"

At this moment, many disciples from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect considered leaving the sect.

Lan Heng laughed after You Bai Feng finished speaking. Despite his laughter, his eyes were cold and cruel.

On the other hand, Lan Ji Nian had a gloomy expression on his face. He said disdainfully, "Grandpa, they must have sent Duan Si Ling away! Not only do they disrespect the Cold Drizzle Sect with their actions, but they disrespect you as well. After all, you've informed them beforehand that we'll be coming to propose marriage, and yet, they still sent her away! Grandpa, it's fine if I can't marry her, but I can't tolerate their disrespect toward you!"

At this moment, not only was Lan Ji Nian's eyes bloodshot, but even his face turned red from anger. When he looked at You Bai Feng and Yu Wen Qing, he could barely conceal the hatred and killing intent in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Nian'er… I'll give you justice!" Lan Heng said after he stopped laughing. He glanced at the others from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect coldly and said, "I'll ask one last time… Is Duan Si Ling at the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect? I just want to know if she's here or not."

Lan Heng's gaze was so frosty, and his anger was palpable. It was as though he was going to explode in any second now. If he lost his temper, there was no doubt everyone in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect would die.

As soon as Lan Heng finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yu Wen Qing, their Sect Leader, in unison. Since she was Duan Si Ling's master, it was likely that she knew of Duan Si Ling's whereabouts.

"Senior Lan Heng, does this mean you don't believe me?" Although her lies had been seen through, she remained determined.

Lan Heng scoffed. His eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty as he said, "Since you insist on being stubborn, Yu Wen Qing, don't blame me for my actions."

As soon as Lan Heng finished speaking, the expressions of the elders and disciples from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect changed drastically.

At this time, Lan Heng's Divine Consciousness had shrouded the entire Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect's estate. Then, he used Celestial Origin Energy in his voice as he said, "Listen up, people of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect… Your Sect Leader rather sacrifices all of you just to save Duan Si Ling. It's best if you can convince her to hand Duan Si Ling over. You have 30 minutes. If I don't see Duan Si Ling in 30 minutes, I'll kill everyone in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect! You can forget about escaping since I've shrouded the entire place with my Divine Consciousness." After a short pause, he said, "That's right. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lan Heng, the former Sect Leader of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect."

After saying that, Lan Heng looked at Yu Wen Qing with a sneer. "Yu Wen Qing… You brought this upon yourself."

Yu Wen Qing did not expect Lan Heng to speak these words that were not entirely untrue. With this, he had pushed everyone from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect to stand on opposing sides with her!

When the members of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect regained their senses, they began to cry out one after another. Some disciples even fell to their knees.

"Sect leader!"

"Sect leader, how can you be so selfish? How can you sacrifice all of us for one person?

"Sect Leader, you've betrayed the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect with your actions!"

"Sect Leader, please hand Duan Si Ling over to them!"

More and more disciples and elders from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect fell to their knees to plead with Yu Wen Qing as they wept.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this time, a large group of people could be seen flying up from all directions in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect's estate. There were the other elders and disciples of the sect who showed after hearing Lan Heng's loud voice. Similar to the others, as soon as they arrived, they fell to their knees and pleaded with Yu Wen Qing.

Indeed, Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng's actions were rather selfish. They did not consider the lives of the others in the sect.

In the end, Yu Wen Qing sighed and said with a voice that contained Celestial Origin Energy, "I, Yu Wen Qing, declare that I'm no longer the Sect Leader of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. Not only that, but I sever all my ties to the sect!"

Following that, You Bai Feng also said, "I, You Bai Feng declare that I will sever all ties with the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect."

The disciples and elders of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect were stunned by this development.

Meanwhile, You Bai Feng looked at Lan Heng and said disdainfully, "Lan Heng, you're not worthy of being a titled Celestial Emperor."

"Love should be free. There's no difference between your actions today from those in the mundane realms who kidnap women to force them into marriages. That's right; I asked Si Ling to leave. If you must blame someone, blame me," You Bai Feng said with a low voice,

Yu Wen Qing stepped forward and glared at Lan Heng. "Duan Si Ling is my disciple… I'm the one who allowed her to leave. It has nothing to do with my Junior Aunt. You can direct all your anger on me."

At this moment, the members of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect remained silent. After all, Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng were no longer the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder of their sect. Nevertheless, their eyes were shining with admiration when they looked at the duo who were willing to die to protect Duan Si Ling.

Before Lan Heng spoke, Lan Ji Nian began to laugh. "What a joke! You b*tches thought you can just quit, and we'll spare the innocent in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect? Let me tell you this: if I don't see Duan Si Ling today, my grandfather and I will still kill everyone in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. It doesn't matter if you had severed your ties with the sect or if you atone with your lives."

A cruel smile appeared on Lan Ji Nian's face as he turned to look at the elders and disciples of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect, whose expression had changed drastically, and said, "Listen up! It's too late for all of you to leave the sect now. If I don't see Duan Si Ling, I'll kill all of you…"

The members of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect trembled on their knees.

"Sect Leader, we're innocent. Please spare our lives and hand Duan Si Ling over to them!"

"Sect Leader, Grand Elder, please bring Duan Si Ling back…"

"Please, Sect Leader, please acquiesce to their demand."

"I beg you, Sect Leader, Grand Elder!"

Faced with the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect elders and disciples who were pleading for their lives, Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng's expressions were rather unsightly. They exchanged a look and saw the bitter smile on each other's faces.

In the end, Yu Wen Qing hardened her heart and said with a sigh, "I've already severed ties with the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect and has nothing to do with the sect. I really don't know where Duan Si Ling went…"

There was no turning back now. Yu Wen Qing did not expect this to happen; she blamed herself for being shortsighted. At this moment, she thought that if Duan Si Ling were still in the sect, she might have handed her over to the Cold Drizzle Sect. Indeed, it was selfish to sacrifice everyone for the sake of one person.

"My stance is the same as the Sect Leader," You Bai Feng said.

"In that case, all of you will die!" Lan Heng's expression darkened. Celestial Origin Energy surged out his body immediately in waves of green violent wind that blew in all directions.

Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng were expressionless as they held their weapons in their hands. At the same time, Celestial Origin Energies surged out of their bodies as well. It was clear they had decided to fight Lan Heng to death.

At the critical moment, two melodious voices rang in the air.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Following that, two figures appeared in front of Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng.

At this moment, Lan Ji Nian stared at one of the newcomers with lust brimming in his eyes.
