I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he listened to Su Hongzhen's praise.

Before he could say anything, Jin Man's low laugh came from behind.

"They are indeed courageous. However, Sect Master, you also know that these people in the Holy Land are arrogant. If Ziang doesn't agree to their request today, they will definitely not let it go. I'm afraid they will do many things that are detrimental to our sect in the future."

The smile on Su Hongzhen's face faded a little. He knew very well that what Jin Man said was true.

The Holy Land has always been arrogant. Mingchuan's public refusal of the invitation is tantamount to slapping them in the face. Given their style, they will definitely settle the score later...

Moreover, this bill will be shared equally among every member of their sect!

I'm afraid everyone present today will suffer!

However, the people of the Holy Land should not attack others so blatantly.

After Su Hongzhen thought about it, he said, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"My Qingcheng Yufa Sect has been able to survive in this area for a thousand years and will not be frightened by anyone."

When Mingchuan heard this, he couldn't help but complain.

This sect leader is still pretending. When he gets beaten and screams in pain, he will know what misery feels like.

Su Hongzhen didn't know what he was thinking.

He looked at Mingchuan with a serious expression, "Zi'ang, you rejected the Holy Land today. I'm afraid you will have to be more cautious in the future."

Mingchuan pretended to be serious and nodded: "Disciple understands."

Jin Man sighed, "I hope so. However, the Sanctuary's methods are endless, so we still need to make plans early."

She was a little worried that the people from the Holy Land would find her through Mingchuan's body.

If they come down to capture Mingchuan, they will take me back with them...

Thinking about the consequences, Jinman felt a chill down his spine.

No, in the next period of time, she must give Mingchuan more guidance and let Mingchuan continue to move forward.

Otherwise, no one would share the wrath of the Holy Land with her in the future.

At this time, people from other sects came over one after another to say goodbye.

Mu Yaoyao stopped as she walked past Mingchuan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Cang, you rejected the Holy Land today. Aren't you really afraid of their revenge?"

"Is being afraid useful?" Mingchuan smiled. "Instead of being frightened, it's better to practice well. If they really come to attack, just take it."

Mu Yaoyao looked at him deeply, said nothing more, turned around and left with the Bu Tian Holy Sect's team.

Mingchuan looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Sure enough, these days only a good background can conquer people. If it were in the past, why would Mu Yaoyao come over to chat with him?

Just as Mingchuan was lost in thought, Ye Chuhan came over and patted Mingchuan's arm.

"You're so good! You even dare to challenge the Holy Land. I'll be proud if you tell others that you're my buddy."

Mingchuan slapped his hand away: "Go away, can you please shut up? I don't want others to think that we have a close relationship."

Ye Chuhan: ...

Ye Chuhan coughed twice: "Others may just think that I am a genius and I admire you."

"Honestly, it's better if you refuse. Those people in the Sanctuary may look glamorous, but there are a lot of twists and turns behind the scenes. My father once told me that many geniuses who went to the lower realms eventually disappeared without a trace."

When he mentioned his father, Sect Leader Ye was looking at them with a dark face.

Ye Chuhan suddenly felt like a big knife was pressing against his back.

He shuddered and waved to Mingchuan quickly: "I won't continue talking to you here. I'm leaving first. Bye."

"Well, go ahead." Mingchuan responded and watched him leave.

After all the sects had left, only the people from the Qingcheng Yufa Sect were left in the martial arts arena.

Su Hongzhen asked his disciples to clean up the place, and he took Mingchuan, Su Hao and several elders to the main hall.

"Zi'ang, you used the Bone-Eroding Ice Flame and the Phantom Flame together with incredible skill today."

Su Hongzhen laughed as he walked. "The elder who guarded the fire refining room back then said that these two clusters of fire were the essence of the ancient fire spirits, and they were very fierce. I didn't expect that you could completely subdue them."

Mingchuan bowed and said, "It is thanks to the 'Sect of Fire Control' left by the sect that I have been studying it day and night in the Fire Refining Room, and have finally been able to grasp the key points."

"Don't let other disciples hear you say 'reluctantly', or they'll be furious."

Su Hongzhen shook his head and laughed, "But that ice flame is extremely yin, and the illusionary flame can confuse the mind. You still have to be more careful when using it in your daily life, so as not to be attacked by the fire."

"Disciple will remember the Patriarch's teachings." Mingchuan responded.

Su Hongzhen changed the subject and spoke in a serious tone, "In the next few days, you should consolidate your cultivation. Although the people from the Holy Land have left, the demonic cultivators are making more and more noises. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."

Mingchuan's mind moved: "Is there any movement from the demon cultivators?"

"Yes." Su Hongzhen nodded. "News has come from the front line that the demonic cultivators in Black Wind Valley have recently gathered quite a number of people and have invited several powerful demonic masters to take charge. I'm afraid they are going to attack us righteous people."

Black Wind Valley?

"Disciple understands and will be on standby at any time."

When we returned to Burning Heaven Pavilion, it was already dark.

Mingchuan sat by the window, gazing at the starry sky outside. Fallen Dragon's voice echoed within him: "The people of the Holy Land won't let this go. The demonic cultivators are ready to strike again. You'll have your hands full."

"It's better to be busy than to be treated like a monkey."

Mingchuan took out the second volume of "Burning Heaven Art" and turned to the last few pages.

There are several annotations related to demonic cultivation, which seem to have been left by the previous sect leaders.

"Black Wind Valley..." Mingchuan's fingertips slid across the page, "Perhaps, we should go there and take a look."

Blood Dragon suddenly said, "There's something."

Mingchuan was stunned: "What is that?"

The Blood Dragon stopped talking, leaving only a faint feeling pointing in the direction of the Black Wind Valley.

Mingchuan's eyes flickered.

It seems that the Black Wind Valley hides more secrets than he imagined.

He put away the "Burning Heaven Art", stood up, walked to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The moonlight poured in through the window lattice and reflected on his face, half of it was bright and half was hidden in the shadows.

"Whether it's from the Holy Land or the Demonic Cultivators, come one by one, and we'll take them down."

Mingchuan drank the tea, a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Anyway, I don't plan to be an obedient inner sect leader forever."

The night wind blew, bringing with it the coolness of the mountains. The lights of Fentian Pavilion swayed in the night, just like his thoughts at the moment.

It seems calm, but in fact there are already undercurrents.

In the next few days, a tense atmosphere permeated the Qingcheng Yufa Sect.

In addition to instructing Yaya, Chen Shu and Jinwa in their daily training, Mingchuan would spend time in the Fentian Pavilion studying the "Fentian Jue", and occasionally go to the back mountain to practice a few moves with Luo Yang.

Luo Yang admired him more and more, and benefited a lot from their several fights. When he looked at him, his eyes were full of emotion that "his junior brother is extremely talented."

Mingchuan was happy to give advice, and after a few interactions, the two of them developed a bit of a fellow-disciple friendship.

That afternoon, Mingchuan was pondering the true meaning of the Fire Spirit in front of the Fentian Crystal when Su Hao suddenly hurried over.

"Junior Brother Ziang, the Sect Master wants you to go to the main hall. He said there's new activity in the Black Wind Valley."
