My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Li Ping'an wasn't being deliberately pretentious; he was genuinely expressing his feelings.

From the moment he met Yun Yaoji, she had always been the one protecting him.

Now, I can finally use my power to protect her.

The two lingered in each other's arms for a long time, lost in their passion, oblivious to the passage of time...

……

After a long time.

Yun Yaoji feigned resistance, breaking free from Li Ping'an's embrace. Her entire body was limp, hot and soft as if boneless...

Seeing that the arrow was about to be released, Yun Yaoji still retained some composure and quickly used her delicate hand to stop Li Ping'an from speaking, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Ping An, who do you think that mysterious person is?"

At this moment, Li Ping'an had no time to worry about anything else. He was about to climb mountains and cross valleys to conquer cities and seize territory when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, Elder Uncle, may we come in?"

Yun Yaoji panicked and quickly pushed Li Ping'an away.

"Stop, stop fooling around..."

Li Ping'an sighed, knowing he had missed a good opportunity. However, it was broad daylight, and Yun Yaoji was seriously injured, so it was indeed not the best time to get what he wanted.

The two straightened their clothes, and Yun Yaoji took a deep breath before putting on her usual expression.

"come in."

Soon, the disciples filed in one after another. Looking at the broken wooden bucket, the splashed water, the messy room, and the two people who still seemed a little uneasy, they were all filled with doubt and speculation...

Yu Ni Chang, in particular, had a complicated expression, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Su Ziyun coughed, breaking the awkward silence.

“Master, Elder Uncle, our two junior sisters have already told us about what happened over there, and they have also told us about our experience here. It seems that the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce must be destroyed, but that mastermind, that mysterious expert, is probably an even bigger thorn in our side. I wonder what Master and Elder Uncle think?”

Yun Yaoji snorted lightly: "Of course I know these things."

"As for that mysterious person... Junior Brother, what do you think?"

Li Ping'an did not hesitate and went straight to the point.

"Boundless Sect".

He made no attempt to hide his identity by uttering those three words, which almost certainly confirmed the identity of the mastermind.

Everyone's expression changed.

Xiao Xile exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Uncle, are you saying that the Boundless Sect is also involved in this matter, and that they intend to harm our Azure Cloud Sect?!"

Yu Ni Chang was also shocked.

"If that's the case, then this is truly a very troublesome situation..."

Bai Xiaoxian and Feng Dashan exchanged a glance.

"Is the Boundless Sect very powerful?"

Yu Ni Chang explained, "It's more than just powerful..."

"The Boundless Sect is the only seventh-rank sect within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in the entire Changping Prefecture, and moreover..."

"Among the seventh-grade sects, it can be considered a top-tier power, and its promotion to a sixth-grade sect is a foregone conclusion."

"You must know that in this world, there are three forces: sects and orthodox traditions, the mortal imperial power, and the commercial forces that lie between the two. In the entire Great Jin Dynasty, the Heavenly Dao Sect is naturally the leader of sects, the Great Jin itself is the representative of imperial power, and the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce is a monopolistic entity in the commercial world."

"In Changping County, the three representatives were the Marquis of Wuwei's residence, the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, and..."

"The Boundless Sect!"

"That's right, it's the Boundless Sect, not the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"The Heavenly Dao Sect is undoubtedly the number one sect in the world, but its scattered forces may not be able to suppress the local bullies. The Boundless Sect is the most powerful local bully among them!"

Everyone was silent.

Yu Ni Chang sighed, "Grandpa once said that in Changping County, if we consider the sheer number, quality, cultivation level, and realm of cultivators, the Wuya Sect is undoubtedly the number one power!"

"Surpassing all other forces such as the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce, the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion, the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Dao Forging Masters Alliance, the Pill God Tower, and so on!"

Su Ziyun nodded: "Indeed, Wuya Sect is a truly orthodox sect with an incredibly profound foundation. Whether it is the number of cultivators or disciples, or the number of Divine Power Earth Realm cultivators, it is the undisputed absolute hegemon."

"It is precisely because the Wuyai Sect is too powerful that Changping County cannot find any relatively strong eighth-grade sects. They have basically taken them all under their control. If any of them are not convinced, they will be completely suppressed. Even the Tiandao Sect is too far away to protect them!"

Bai Xiaoxian was dumbfounded: "If that's the case, then the Boundless Sect is basically a local tyrant!"

"Then why did they attack our Qingyun Sect?"

Xiao Xile looked at her junior sister with the kind of concern one would give a fool.

"Third Junior Sister, use your brain and think about it. If you were the Boundless Sect, who would be the biggest threat to the entire Changping Prefecture right now?"

"The Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce? That's a force in the business world, someone I can cooperate with, not a rival."

"The Marquis of Wuwei's mansion? That's the power of a mortal imperial authority; we'll keep to ourselves."

"The Alliance of Dao Forgers? That's a transcendent force independent of these other powers; we should just keep our distance."

"The Pill God Tower? It's on par with the Dao Forging Alliance and doesn't belong to any particular faction."

“Only our Qingyun Sect has a pure lineage and is a true sect. Moreover, it emerged out of nowhere and rose to prominence in less than a year, sweeping away everything. If you were the Wuya Sect, wouldn’t you be worried?”

Su Ziyun nodded and said, "What's more, in the eyes of the Boundless Sect, we are allied with the Dao Forging Masters, have close ties with the Heavenly Dao Sect, and have almost wiped out the Nine Cauldrons Merchant Guild. We have gradually gained a foothold in the business world, and even have an ambiguous relationship with the Marquis of Wuwei. This is too terrifying..."

Yu Nishang concluded, "In the eyes of the Boundless Sect, we are the most terrifying hypothetical enemy. Not only do we stand directly on the same battlefield as them, but we also simultaneously control the business world, the Dao Forging Alliance, the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion. We are indeed an extremely terrifying monster..."

Li Pingan chuckled.

"I never imagined that our Qingyun Sect would become so powerful without us even noticing..."

Yun Yaoji rolled her eyes at him.

"This is not the time for self-praise. If our analysis is correct, that bastard who ambushed me is the sect leader of the Boundless Sect. In my deduction, his cultivation is even above that of Ren Tianxing, Yu Tianji, Jiang Shenwei, and others, and could even be said to be..."

"The number one person within a radius of tens of thousands of miles!"

"In addition, the Wuyai Sect is a large and powerful family with countless disciples. The number of its great cultivators at the Divine Power Earth Realm is unparalleled in Changping County. It is indeed extremely difficult to be their enemy!"

Li Pingan sneered, "That's right, they are indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, they made a fatal mistake."

"They dared to kill Senior Sister, and by such despicable means as a sneak attack! From that moment on, the entire Wuyai Sect was doomed!"

Now that he has entered the realm of supernatural powers, his words naturally carry an air of magnanimity and domineering majesty.

For a moment, all the disciples were shocked and awed.

Bai Xiaoxian's eyes sparkled: "Wow, Teacher Chang is so handsome!"

Xiao Xile couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Master Chang, his domineering aura is overflowing!"

Feng Dashan nodded and said, "Indeed!"

Su Ziyun and Yu Nishang exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.

Although Yun Yaoji felt sweet and warm inside, she didn't want her disciples to notice, so she forced herself to maintain a calm and composed expression.

"Junior brother, well said!"

"Since they are heartless, don't blame us for being unjust!"

Li Ping'an said in a deep voice, "Our Qingyun Sect has been bullied by foreign enemies for far too long. It's time to say goodbye to that time forever."

"Why should we be the only ones who get bullied?"

"This time, we must take the initiative and wipe them out completely!"
