Chen Ling and the other three's breakthroughs had indeed dispelled the haze in Xiao Chen's heart to a large extent. It also gave Xiao Chen hope. Yes, Xiao Chen wasn't alone. He had Chen Ling, Long Qing and the others by his side.
As long as everyone worked together, Xiao Chen didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Taiyang Sect. Imagine if the Sacred Palace had four or even five Chosen on the Saint Ranking. At that time, even the main branch would have to bow their heads.
Everything still depended on strength. Chen Ling and the other three's breakthroughs gave Xiao Chen hope.
With the haze in his heart swept away, Xiao Chen smiled and congratulated the four. He then told them what Lian Yao had said.
When they heard that Lian Yao wanted to rope in Xiao Chen, the four's attitude was the same as Xiao Chen's. None of them agreed. The disciples of the Sacred Palace had never had the habit of relying on others or submitting to others.
Xiao Chen and the others no longer thought about it. Over the next month, they continued to cultivate step by step. With the help of the Yin Wind Stones, Xiao Chen's cultivation had completely stabilized. Moreover, he was indeed much stronger than when he had just broken through.
Of course, apart from Xiao Chen, the others also had their own gains. Seeing that the half-year period in the Heavenly Yin Valley was about to end, everyone had gained a lot in the past six months.
However, with the end of the Heavenly Yin Valley, the Sacred Palace would soon have to face the wrath of the Bai Family and Bai Qiuran.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators of Xiao Chen's level. On this day, Xiao Chen and the others finished refining the last batch of Yin Wind Stones on their bodies. They stood side by side on a plain and looked at the distant horizon. Today was the day that the Heavenly Yin Valley ended and everyone would be forcibly teleported out.
"What will come will come sooner or later. Let's see what the Bai Family wants this time," Xiao Chen said indifferently as he looked straight at the sky.
There was no doubt that the Bai Family and Bai Qiuran were waiting outside Heavenly Yin Valley. Xiao Chen had expected this.
Having learned about the Natal Talisman from Lianyao, Xiao Chen knew that Bai Qiuyue's death could not be concealed. Therefore, Xiao Chen could guess the reaction of the Bai family and Bai Qiuran.
Chen Ling and the others remained calm when they heard Xiao Chen's words. Regardless of whether it was the Bai Clan or Bai Qiuran, none of them feared them.
They had long been prepared to deal with the arrival of this day. Not long after Xiao Chen's words sounded, a mysterious energy enveloped everyone's bodies. Under the cover of this energy, no one had the slightest intention to resist. They could only allow themselves to be forcefully transported out of the Heavenly Yin Valley.
Not only Xiao Chen and the others, but the other disciples of the major factions who had entered the Heavenly Yin Valley were also transported out one by one.
In less than ten minutes, many disciples appeared outside the Heavenly Yin Valley one after another. However, when they appeared, the first thing they saw was the main branch disciples led by Bai Qiuran and the Bai Family experts led by Bai Mulin.
This time, the Bai Family was clearly furious. Not only did they send Bai Mulin, a quasi-Saint Supreme Venerate, but they also sent eight Saint Stage experts.
When they saw Bai Qiuran and Bai Mulin standing outside the Heavenly Yin Valley with gloomy expressions, the disciples understood what had happened.
After all, the news that Xiao Chen had killed Bai Qiuyue had already spread in the Heavenly Yin Valley. It was no secret. Almost all the disciples who had entered the Heavenly Yin Valley knew about it.
The disciples of the major factions didn't want to get involved in this mess, so they naturally took the initiative to step aside. Bai Qiuran didn't say anything about this and allowed them to leave.
Compared to the disciples of the other factions, the people of the main branch who belonged to Bai Qiuran's camp respectfully came before her. The leader of the group, a dozen or so Prospective Saints, spoke with some apprehension.
"Senior Brother …"
They were all on Bai Qiuran's side, so they naturally felt apprehensive when facing her. After all, Bai Qiuyue was killed in the Heavenly Yin Valley, so they couldn't escape responsibility.
However, Bai Qiuran didn't get angry. She looked at the dozen or so people in front of her and interrupted them before they could speak. "Where's my brother's corpse?"
She didn't reprimand or blame them. Instead, she asked where Bai Qiuyue's corpse was. Upon hearing Bai Qiuran's question, one of the Prospective Saints hurriedly took out Bai Qiuyue's corpse. Looking at the corpse, killing intent gathered in Bai Qiuran's eyes, but she eventually waved her hand and said to a main branch disciple behind her.
"Send my brother back first."
She ordered someone to send Bai Qiuyue's corpse back, while Bai Qiuran continued to wait outside the Heavenly Yin Valley with her people.
This time, Bai Qiuran didn't hold back at all. There were thousands of main branch disciples behind her, all of whom were on her side. Moreover, all of them were elites, and the weakest was a core disciple.
Naturally, no one dared to provoke such a lineup. Even Lianyao and Zhu Mujue, who also belonged to the main branch, didn't dare to provoke Bai Qiuran. Instead, they left with their people.
Of course, no one wanted to provoke Bai Qiuran, but they didn't go far. After all, no one wanted to miss such a storm.
For a time, more and more disciples gathered outside the Heavenly Yin Valley.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xiao Chen and the others from the Sacred Palace finally appeared in front of everyone on the square.
At a glance, they saw Bai Qiuran and the main branch disciples blocking their way. Xiao Chen's group didn't change their expressions in the slightest. Xiao Chen even sneered.
"What a big lineup. Bai Qiuran, it seems that you're only that bold. To think that you'd have to put on such a big lineup before you dare to come and denounce us."
His words were filled with disdain. Killing intent flashed in Bai Qiuran's eyes when she heard this. The disciples of the various factions began to whisper amongst themselves.
Most people naturally thought that Xiao Chen had died because he didn't know what was good for him. Lianyao even snorted coldly.
"You really don't know what's good for you. Do you really think that Bai Qiuran won't dare to kill you? Or do you think that the few of you from the Sacred Palace are enough to contend with the thousands of people behind Bai Qiuran?"
Lianyao was naturally unhappy with Xiao Chen's rejection. Now that Xiao Chen still didn't know what was good for him, she couldn't help but feel angry. Perhaps in Lianyao's opinion, Xiao Chen should be kneeling in front of her and begging for Yun Kunyao to protect them. After offending Bai Qiuran, Yun Kunyao was the only one in the entire Taiyang Sect who could protect Xiao Chen and the others.
