Chapter 98 The Revival of Spiritual Qi: My Mother is a Cultivator (Part 4)
While Lu Yunqi and the others were still basking in the joy of finding Si Ran, Si Yan and her group encountered new troubles.
"Sect Master Si, isn't your Misty Sect being far too unruly?"
Elder Liu Daoyuan of the Azure Sea Sect shouted loudly.
"Rules? What rules? The rules you made?"
Si Yan looked at the white-haired old man in front of her, who was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring at her, and slowly began to speak.
"For thousands of years, Lingxiao Mountain has been offered to our Bihai Sect by the Lingxiao Sect. Sect Master Si, on what grounds do you prevent our Bihai Sect cultivators from entering the mountain for training?"
Liu Daoyuan questioned him, clearly dissatisfied.
"Elder Liu, you yourself said it was offered by the Lingxiao Sect, but now this mountain belongs to our Piaomiao Sect. We do not agree to your use of it, is that not allowed?"
Si Yan's eyes turned slightly cold as she continued speaking.
"Besides, you should go find whoever made the promise. Whether that person is still around or not is none of my business."
Si Yan sipped her tea slowly and deliberately, appearing indifferent.
This infuriated Elder Liu Daoyuan of the Azure Sea Sect. How dare a lowly sect oppose the Azure Sea Sect? It was outrageous!
"Elder Liu, since Si Yan is so disrespectful to us, why don't we teach her a lesson?"
Situ Feng, the junior brother of the Azure Sea Sect, whispered in Liu Daoyuan's ear.
Situ Feng glanced meaningfully at Situ Yao, who was standing below Si Yan. Wasn't it because his cousin Situ Yao had joined the Misty Sect that she had the confidence to defy the family?
The Misty Sect has been making quite a splash in the cultivation world lately.
Otherwise, given her status as a disciple of a low-ranking sect, the elders in her family would never have given Situ Yao any special treatment.
I'll figure out a way to get Elder Liu involved and take care of the Misty Sect. Then let's see how arrogant Situ Yao will be.
"No, there are rules in the cultivation world that the top ten sects on the ranking list are not allowed to fight against the lowest-ranking sects without cause."
Liu Daoyuan's heart stirred slightly, but he responded with a grand and respectful tone.
Situ Feng had been learning from Liu Daoyuan for quite some time, and just from Liu Daoyuan's tone, Situ Feng knew what he was thinking, so he spoke up again.
"Elder Liu, the rules also say that the lower-ranking sects should be self-disciplined, polite, humble and respectful when they meet the top three sects. It was Si Yan who broke the rules first, so we can't be blamed."
Liu Daoyuan gave Situ Feng an approving look, and then spoke.
"Sect Master Si, I'm giving you one last chance. Will your Misty Sect let us pass or not? If not, don't blame me for being impolite."
Liu Daoyuan shouted sternly, his spiritual energy already accumulated for a long time.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and a major battle seemed imminent.
Si Yan chuckled, then put down her teacup, stood up, and walked to the people from the Azure Sea Sect.
"Elder Liu, you wouldn't be thinking of taking action, would you? I advise you to think it over carefully."
As soon as Si Yan finished speaking, she raised her hand and unleashed her divine sense, causing everyone from the Azure Sea Sect to instantly kneel down.
Liu Daoyuan's face was filled with disbelief.
"Impossible! This oppressive aura... could it be that you're at the Void Refinement Realm?!"
As for the other disciples of the Azure Sea Sect, traces of blood were already seeping from the corners of their mouths.
"Sect Master Si, I'm sorry, please spare me!"
Situ Feng felt as if his internal organs were about to shift, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy.
The other members of the Azure Sea Sect also shouted in unison.
"Spare us."
"Sect Master Si, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us. We will not come to Lingxiao Mountain again, and we will never come again."
Seeing that Si Yan completely ignored him, Situ Feng, who had been spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, panicked.
"Elder Liu, please say something! We can't hold on much longer!"
"Sect Master Si, it was our Misty Sect that failed to consider this. We will not be coming to Lingxiao Mountain."
The higher Liu Daoyuan's cultivation level, the more intense the pressure he felt. He had no choice but to beg for mercy first and try to get through the current predicament.
"Elder Liu, you should have said so earlier. Why suffer like this at your age?"
As she spoke, Si Yan withdrew her oppressive aura and took two steps forward to help Liu Daoyuan up.
Liu Daoyuan's face turned pale and then red, and he could only chuckle a few times, daring not to speak his anger.
The others from the Azure Sea Sect lay on the ground, panting heavily.
It was terrifying; that moment just now made them feel like they were in hell.
They're not coming anymore; they won't dare come to the Misty Sect again.
"Sect Master Si is too kind. We, the Azure Sea Sect, will take our leave now."
Liu Daoyuan left after saying that, and then turned and left with the people from the Bihai Sect.
As for what he was thinking, no one knows.
“Master, this Liu Daoyuan is the Grand Elder of the Bihai Sect. It is said that he is narrow-minded and extremely vindictive. Will our actions invite his retaliation?”
Si Yan's third apprentice, Jiang Yi, said with a worried expression.
"Jiang Yi, how could you boost others' morale while diminishing your own! Master is so powerful, even Liu Daozong will have to think twice when he gets back."
Situ Yao smiled smugly, feeling particularly triumphant today.
Wasn't Situ Feng just showing off his power because he had joined the Bihai Sect?
Seeing him begging for mercy today was so satisfying.
“Situ Yao, please don’t bring personal grudges into this. I’m analyzing the pros and cons for my master. Since the Azure Sea Sect is the third-ranked sect on the leaderboard, its foundation is beyond our imagination.”
"I know, but I just can't accept it. Does that mean they can only bully us and we're not allowed to fight back?"
Situ Yao muttered aggrievedly.
"Alright, don't worry. I have a plan. Instead of worrying, you should practice your swordsmanship. Did you two complete the task I assigned yesterday?"
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I haven't fed the spirit beasts in the back mountain yet, so I'll be going now."
Jiang Yi moved with lightning speed and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing Jiang Yi disappear, Situ Yao knew something was wrong.
“Master, Jiang Yi is unreliable, I have to go help him.”
After saying that, Situ Yao secretly channeled her inner energy and sped away.
Heaven knows, feeding a spirit beast once can keep it healthy for three months.
They had just fed the spirit beasts on the back mountain last month.
Si Yan watched their retreating figures, feeling both amused and exasperated. Was she really that scary?
If Situ Yao were to answer, she would say, "Master, my junior brothers call you the Great Demon King behind your back, how can that not be scary!"
At this moment, Situ Yao, who had escaped to the back mountain, was filled with regret. Why hadn't she gone down to the mortal realm with her senior brother and the others to find her junior sister?
"Senior Brother, you guys are too cunning. You said you kept me in the sect to consolidate my strength, but I'm afraid you just kept me here as a backup plan."
Thinking of the tasks assigned by Si Yan, Situ Yao felt dizzy and wanted to faint. There were so many tasks, when would she ever finish them?
Meanwhile, Lu Yunqi, the senior brother Situ Yao mentioned, was currently recounting to Si Ran how he and his fellow disciples had encountered her mother, Si Yan.
