The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Someone laughed and replied, "Eyewitness account? You actually believe that? To call it an eyewitness account is a lie; it was those people who drove Ming Yijun here!"

"The truth is that someone came to the Ice Plains for training and happened to encounter Ming Yijun. Seeing that he planned to secretly prove his Dao in a deserted place, he notified disciples from other sects to come and interfere."

"Ming Yijun may have become stupid from cultivating for too long. He thought he could find a secluded place to secretly prove his Dao, but little did he know that because of the auction, more people came to the Ice Plains to train, and he was seen by quite a few people."

"Everyone wanted to catch him, and in the process, they ended up here. Ming Yijun escaped inside, which forced everyone to surround this place."

"In fact, logically speaking, this situation isn't that everyone is looking for Ming Yijun. It should be that disciples from various sects have surrounded and trapped Ming Yijun here. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before they catch him. After all, with so many people blocking his way, and more and more elders and powerful figures from major sects arriving, Ming Yijun's survival rate is practically zero."

Lin Yitang pretended to suddenly realize something, showing a surprised expression on her face, and echoed, "So that's how it is. It's such a pity that the genius of yesteryear has fallen into such a predicament."

Despite her outward expression of regret, Lin Yitang's heart sank.

She had initially thought the disciples from various sects were merely there to interfere with Ming Yijun's path to enlightenment, but she hadn't expected them to have already begun their actions. Wasn't this situation putting Ming Yijun in a desperate situation?

Ming Yijun is likely in his most vulnerable period due to his pursuit of Dao, yet he is being chased by disciples from various sects and trapped in the Stone Forest. He not only has to defend against the crisis in the Stone Forest but also deal with the pursuing cultivators, and may even fail to achieve Dao and suffer a backlash.

These people... are really wonderful!

This is no longer just coveting; they genuinely want to make an enemy of the Taique Sect!

At the front of the stone forest, Xie Qingrang and the others had already learned the ins and outs of the matter, and their faces were gloomy.

He snorted coldly, looked in the direction of Tianxuan Sect and Tianyan Sect, and sneered: "You sects are really something, daring to attack our Taique Sect disciples. It's clear you're courting death and want to oppose us."

An elite disciple of the Tianxuan Sect snorted coldly and retorted without any politeness: "Who said we are targeting the disciples of the Taique Sect? We are only targeting Ming Yijun. If we were really targeting you, your group of weak disciples who came to the Ice Plains wouldn't be alive by now. We have already been very merciful."

Xie Qingrang was immediately enraged: "Ming Yijun is an elite disciple of the Taique Sect, you can't be unaware of that. Targeting him is tantamount to targeting our sect! How dare you be so arrogant!"

However, the Tianxuan Sect disciple retorted again, saying, "Then how do you know that Ming Yijun is still a disciple of the Taique Sect? It has been a hundred years since Ming Yijun disappeared. Your sect has probably already kicked him out of the elite disciple team."

"Since they haven't come looking for him for so long, letting him be surrounded and intercepted in the icy plains, it means they don't acknowledge him. What kind of Taique Sect member is he then? Maybe he doesn't even want to return to the Taique Sect now. His failure to return to the sect to prove his Dao is an example of that."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingrang didn't know what to say and gritted his teeth.

Although I wanted to refute it, what the Tianxuan Sect disciple said was not wrong. After Ming Yijun disappeared, the Taique Sect had indeed removed his name from the list long ago. In name, Ming Yijun was no longer considered a disciple of the Taique Sect.

In this way, they have no right to interfere even if they want to!

He could only watch helplessly as disciples from other sects prevented him from attaining enlightenment.

Not to mention... he himself hasn't actually admitted that he's still a member of the Taique Sect.

The disciples of Taique Sect all looked grim.

In reality, this can no longer be considered an operation to rescue Ming Yijun; it's more like an attempt to "win him over." The best outcome would naturally be for him to successfully attain enlightenment and return to his sect, while the worst outcome would be for him to succeed in attaining enlightenment but then turn against the Taique Sect and become its enemy.

Now, everyone hesitated, debating whether or not to let Ming Yijun succeed in attaining enlightenment.

If the other party is one of our own, it would be difficult to explain back to our sect if we interfere; if they are enemies, not interfering might create a powerful enemy for our sect.

Xie Qingrang could only sigh inwardly, while secretly glancing at Lin Yitang. The one who could now sway the battle was not him, but rather Lin Yitang, who was also a disciple of True Monarch Xuanhui.

With Lin Yitang around, and out of respect for True Lord Xuanhui, Ming Yijun might not take action against them. He might even return to the sect out of respect for his master and the persuasion of his junior sister.

At this moment, the number of sect disciples in front of the stone forest is still increasing; they are all cultivators who have come from all over the icy plains.

Among them were even Lin Yitang's acquaintances, Gu Yueying and Xiao Beiling, elite disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.

Upon arriving, they immediately bowed to the cultivator who had spoken with Xie Qingrang earlier and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Lei."

Lei Poshan, the male cultivator, gave a perfunctory "hmm" and looked at the two of them, his tone slightly reproachful: "Why are you so late? I notified you almost an hour ago, and you're only arriving now."

Gu Yueying explained, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. We encountered some cold beasts on the way, which caused us to be late. Please forgive us."

Her tone was somewhat respectful, as if she were very afraid of her senior brother's anger.

Lei Poshan looked down at them for a while before saying, "I'll let it go this time, but don't be late next time."

Upon seeing this, the two quickly cupped their hands and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Senior Brother."

They exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they hadn't angered Senior Brother Lei.

Although they were elite disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, already among the top of their generation, this male cultivator was a much higher-level powerhouse, someone they couldn't afford to provoke.

This is a Golden Core stage senior who has held the position of elite disciple of the Tianxuan Sect for hundreds of years. His experience and strength are far beyond what these younger generation can compare to. Gu Yueying is at most tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, while Lei Poshan is second on the Heavenly Ranking, second only to Mu Xiuran!

Although the tenth and second place rankings seem to be not much different, their strengths are worlds apart.

It can be said that the top few on the Heavenly Ranking are all extremely close to the Nascent Soul stage, and no one dares to provoke them. In front of Lei Poshan, even Gu Yueying has to lower her status and obey Lei Poshan's orders.

This is the status of the strong.

Lei Poshan walked up to the stone forest and shouted, "Ming Yijun, come out here! Otherwise, we won't be polite!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a man's voice echoed from the depths of the stone forest. He sounded quite young and sneered, "You cultivators from the Heavenly Profound Sect and Heavenly Evolution Sect haven't given up yet, have you? You've actually tracked me all the way here. What, you still want to fight?"

"You're like leeches, clinging to my feet and impossible to get off. I admire your persistence in preventing me from breaking through. But if you want to deal with me, stop just shouting and come in if you dare! Anyone who doesn't come in is a coward."

This was the first time Lin Yitang had heard her senior brother's voice, and she felt a mix of emotions.

However, judging from this voice, she felt that her senior brother was not as aloof and powerful as she had imagined.

On the contrary, it seems a bit... cheeky?
