Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

Ye Yunjian had never encountered anything like this before, but as a man, being publicly humiliated was unacceptable. How come he had no idea about it in his past life?

He couldn't help but look up at Meng Chuxi opposite him, and then his eyes met Situ Jiuxiao's.

Situ Jiuxiao said, "Jian'er, this is my fault. When I took you as my disciple, Elder Taishang Ni said that your destiny was a 'Nine-Nine Heavenly Fate' and that you would not live long. He made a double vow with Xi'er to share the burden, and you were saved when you fell to the 'Nine-Five Mysterious Venerable' destiny..."

Something felt off. Ye Yunjian's suspicions grew stronger. Why didn't he remember anyone predicting his destiny? And he had never felt the destiny of the Supreme Emperor.

"I never imagined that your destiny would continue to decline to the cultivation realm, while Xi'er would become a Nine-Nine Heavenly Destiny and be sent to the inner sect," Situ Jiuxiao advised.

Thinking back to yesterday's retraining of his cultivation technique, and looking at Meng Chuxi's cold and indifferent expression, he felt even more that something strange must be going on.

"Elder Nie, Jian'er is my disciple. It is my fault for failing to teach him properly. However, I still need to explain to Jian'er the reasons for terminating the fate contract..."

Nie Hanshan smiled and said, "Sect Master, I don't think that's necessary. My dantian was completely destroyed and I fell back to the mortal realm. Now I'm only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to even reach the Profound Sword Realm in ten or eight years. It's just that the promise we made by striking hands back then can be witnessed by everyone now."

Situ Jiuxiao's face was cold. This Nie Hanshan really didn't take him, the sect leader, seriously. He glanced at his other disciples, and they all had resentful expressions on their faces. If he didn't retaliate, he would have a hard time winning over the Xuanhuo Sect in the future!

He stood still, without moving, as golden spiritual energy rose from below, gradually covering his entire body, like a blazing volcano of crimson gold, enveloping the entire Xuanhuo Hall under the suppression of his aura.

The Xuanhuo Sect's ninth-level Xuan King realm is like a vast, unfathomable world!

Seeing that Situ Jiuxiao was about to subdue him, Nie Hanshan remained unmoved. He joined his five fingers together in a hand seal, and countless tiny crimson and white flames transformed into countless sword energies that gathered above his head to form a magnificent canopy. A giant crimson-gold dragon roamed atop the canopy, and lightning flashed as a shield appeared, protecting the inner sect members!

The Xuanhuo Inner Sect's eighth-level Xuanwang secret technique! Enhanced with the Golden Dragon Great Luo Canopy! Approaching the Xuanhuang realm, achieving perfect harmony, and possessing an unblemished, invincible body!

Even though he was at the Xuanhuang realm of the Xuanhuo Sect, Situ Jiuxiao did not continue to attack the inner sect's Xuanwang eighth-level secret techniques!

Situ Jiuxiao seemed to be holding back. Although he was a narrow-minded and vicious person, he was now being suppressed by the inner sect elders with a shield, forming a dustless barrier. He was confident of victory but did not suppress his opponent.

Within the Xuanhuo Hall, the outer sect disciples of lower cultivation levels were all experiencing unstable breathing and a dizzying sensation. Even Ye Yunjian was feeling extremely unwell, only slightly better because he held the Xuanzun Jade Key in his hand.

Situ Jiuxiao hated being contradicted more than anything in his life. He gave the other elders a look and was about to activate his technique to continue suppressing the anger when he suddenly heard the voice of the Grand Elder: "Sect Master, please calm down!"

The First Elder jumped between Situ Jiuxiao and Nie Hanshan, using the Nine Dragons Profound Fire Staff to separate the two: "Elder Nie, Sect Master Situ, please stop!"

Nie Hanshan gave a silent, cold laugh and took a step back. Then he bowed respectfully and said, "I was just anxious to protect the safety of the inner sect disciples. Please forgive me, Sect Master!"

Situ Jiuxiao relaxed, the suppression of his cultivation level slowly subsided, and he stopped practicing.

The surrounding disciples finally recovered, some of the weaker outer sect disciples even falling to the ground. Seeing this, Situ Jiuxiao's voice became hoarse: "Elder Nie, I still want to hear what Xi'er has to say herself, after all, she is still my adopted daughter!"

The inner sect disciples were all fine. Meng Chuxi stood up and slowly said, "Godfather, Elder Nie treats me like a father and daughter. I still want to cultivate the immortal path. Since the fate agreement has lost its effect, please grant my request..."

"Hehe, as expected of Elder Nie's excellent disciple. You have already advanced to the Xuan King level at such a young age and become one of the seven elders of the inner sect. My disciple, on the other hand, is someone who has to start over with his cultivation method. Oh well..." Situ Jiuxiao said in a low voice, sounding somewhat dejected.

But Ye Yunjian sensed something was wrong. Impossible. How could a cunning old fox like Situ Jiuxiao allow himself to lose face in public like this? Unless… there must be a conspiracy!

"Xi'er, why don't you thank the Sect Master for his kindness?" Seeing this, Nie Hanshan stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Sect Master! We will need you to take charge of the inner sect secret realm this time."

After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat, and the other elders also stood up and bowed to Situ Jiuxiao in unison.

Over there, Xiao Qingshuang, Song Lan, Shen Jinyan, and Bai Yueling also came up behind Ye Yunjian and whispered words of comfort.

"Fourth Senior Brother, those people from the Inner Sect have gone too far. They chose this day in full view of everyone, claiming it was to fulfill their promise, but in reality, it's to humiliate you and us as well," Bai Yueling said indignantly.

"Wait a minute!" Situ Jiuxiao suddenly said, "Although the fate agreement from back then was agreed upon by our inner and outer sects, now that the engagement is being dissolved, not only should Xi'er express her feelings, but Jian'er should also make her stance clear. Only then will it show that our Xuanhuo Sect is acting with integrity!"

"Jian'er! What do you think?"

Originally an unexpected event, everyone has now realized what happened and wants Ye Yunjian to make a statement.

Ye Yunjian felt a surge of anger. No wonder he specifically requested my presence; it seems the main character is about to make his appearance. Situ Jiuxiao, what exactly are you plotting in this whole charade?

Suddenly, he remembered his past life and recalled an incident from his previous life. He had met a woman from another sect and developed feelings for her, but Situ Jiuxiao happened to see this and severely reprimanded him for cutting off his own path to immortality and forcibly breaking them up.

After he refused to take the medicine as Situ Jiuxiao wished, and after his junior sister was murdered on her way home and a series of subsequent events, he had no time to have any more feelings for her.

It seems that Situ Jiuxiao was worried that he would be preoccupied with his emotions, so he staged this scene to make him give up the idea of ​​marriage.

But now that Situ Jiuxiao was asking him so directly, he glanced at the concerned looks of his senior sister, two senior brothers, and junior sister, and then at Situ Jiuxiao's seemingly amiable face, and said in a deep voice:

"Master, this matter has come suddenly. The covenant of destiny is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. This disciple needs to think it over carefully!"

Everyone was startled. Looking at Ye Yunjian's resolute face, they all felt that although he was young, he spoke with great maturity.

"Ye Yunjian, the sect leader and Elder Nie can decide for now. Don't cause any trouble!" A middle-aged elder from the inner sect stepped forward, his face grim.

"Jian'er, this is not a formal marriage contract, but just an agreement made by the sect. There's no need to worry about it! The sect leader and Elder Nie can decide!" The First Elder also spoke up. He glanced at Situ Jiuxiao. Although he knew about what happened today, Situ Jiuxiao and Nie Hanshan had done things in front of everyone, so Ye Yunjian really found it difficult to make a decision immediately.

"Ye Yunjian, will the sect leader and the elders handle this fairly? Why aren't you leaving!" Si Tianxiang stepped forward and shouted.

"Ye Yunjian, step back immediately! You're a man of honor, a cultivator. Do you really think you're destined to be the supreme ruler of the heavens?" Wei Wuji also stepped forward, his face serious but unable to hide his schadenfreude.
