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

"Elders, the inner and outer sects made a contract with my destiny to save my life. I asked you about important matters, but you didn't take my advice. Why did you ask?" Ye Yunjian's body trembled slightly.

Looking at Si Tianxiang and Wei Wuji's faces, and questioning the Grand Elder and the others, he knew he had endured so much in his past life, but he would not endure it in this one.

He swore that he would make that old traitor Situ Jiuxiao pay for his crimes in blood, and that no one else should try to suppress him, force him to do things he didn't want to do, or manipulate him at will.

"Shut up..." The Dharma Sect elder had always disliked Ye Yunjian. He took a step forward, and the Dharma Whip gathered spiritual energy.

“Elder of the Dharma Sect, Fourth Senior Brother is right. Since you asked, why force him to change his mind?” Bai Yueling spoke with a strong, resolute tone, despite her girlish accent.

Situ Jiuxiao then stepped forward: "Elder of the Dharma Sect, wait! Si Tianxiang and Wei Wuji, step back." The Dharma Sect Elder lowered his whip, glanced at the Grand Elder, and remained silent.

Si Tianxiang and Wei Wuji exchanged a glance and then retreated back into the group.

Situ Jiuxiao then nodded to Nie Hanfeng and said to Ye Yunjian, "Jian'er, the engagement was an agreement between the inner and outer sects. It was indeed a miscalculation on the part of Elder Nie and me, but—"

He paused for a moment, then said, “Since the Destiny Contract was originally made by Elder Nie and me, it is only reasonable for Elder Nie and I to publicly terminate it. As my most beloved fourth disciple, you must follow the wishes of Elder Nie and me.”

Situ Jiuxiao's words implied that he was demanding Ye Yunjian's obedience in his capacity as sect leader and master. If Ye Yunjian did not comply, it would be considered disobedience and defying the orders of the sect leader and master.

"Besides, you are still in the stage of re-cultivating your cultivation technique. How can you neglect the important affairs of the sect for the sake of some personal feelings?"

"You're only at the Profound Meridian Realm, how can you compare to them? Get back now!"

In his previous life, Ye Yunjian was rather weak in front of Situ Jiuxiao, and he obeyed every order given by Situ Jiuxiao without fail. But now, his resolute face remained completely still.

Situ Jiuxiao, I never expected you to put on such a good show. You would humiliate me in public and trample on my dignity in this way. I will avenge the grudge from the past life and the hatred in this life! Ye Yunjian's face showed a look of hatred that no one had ever seen before.

"Ye Yunjian, are you disobeying the sect leader's decree?" The elder of the Dharma Sect's whip flashed with spiritual light, emitting blue flames that hissed at Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian suddenly remembered that he had followed the instructions of the Dharma Sect elder and devoted himself to cultivation, but Situ Jiuxiao had put him under a restraint, resulting in his possession.

That whip, after he was possessed, had tortured his soul countless times, trying to force him to submit.

Back then, my second senior brother also went out after receiving a notice from Elder Fazong, but he never returned!

"Are you... trying to force me?" Ye Yunjian asked through gritted teeth, his tone cold. Although he was only at the Profound Vein Realm, he would not back down so easily.

"Fourth Junior Brother, be careful!" Seeing the elder of the Fa Sect raise his whip, Xiao Qingshuang hurriedly stepped forward and jumped in front of Ye Yunjian to block him.

With a loud crack, the whip, trailing a long blue flame, lashed out, leaving a mark on Xiao Qingshuang's back...

"Senior Sister!" Ye Yunjian rushed forward to support Xiao Qingshuang. At this moment, Song Lan, Shen Jinyan, and Bai Yueling also rushed over and surrounded Xiao Qingshuang.

"Fourth Junior Brother, your cultivation is not yet sufficient. Don't argue with them." A long, smoking whip mark was visible on Xiao Qingshuang's back where she had been struck by the whip.

Ye Yunjian felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He looked at the Dharma Sect elders, then at Nie Hanshan, and finally at Situ Jiuxiao: "Fine! Fine! Since it is the decision of Master and the elders, Ye Yunjian will obey!"

Meng Chuxi stood up. Although she knew about everything that had happened beforehand, Ye Yunjian's current behavior was quite different from what they had predicted.

"Ye Yunjian, you didn't know about this before today. Now that things have come to this, you... should just follow the arrangements of the sect leader and elders!" Meng Chuxi's expression was cold, and her fifth-level Xuan King realm made everyone afraid to look directly at her.

"Meng Chuxi, you are a guest in our outer sect. How can a guest order the host around!" Ye Yunjian scanned the entire room and said, "Since you look down on me because of my low cultivation level, I hereby announce that I will participate in your inner sect's small secret realm, and I will take first place!"

“Commendable courage, but a pity…” Nie Hanshan glanced at Ye Yunjian and sighed.

Meng Chuxi shook her head slightly and frowned: "Ye Yunjian, today's events have indeed embarrassed you. Fine, Elder Nie, let me be Ye Yunjian's inner sect assessment elder. I'm willing to give him a companion token. What do you think?"

Nie Hanshan stroked his short beard and laughed, "Very well, let's give Junior Nephew Ye a chance. Six months from now, our inner sect's small secret realm will welcome Junior Nephew Ye!"

"No! Meng Chuxi, I hope that six months from now, you can truly test me with your strength in front of the small secret realm. I want to use my real skills to pass your test!" Ye Yunjian's face turned red. He was not begging for charity.

Meng Chuxi smiled, pinched her fingers, and with a click, a golden access token flew into Ye Yunjian's hand. Ye Yunjian caught it and played with it for a moment.

"I'll accept this pass! Farewell!"

After saying that, Ye Yunjian immediately left. Meng Chuxi was also stunned. She had always thought that everyone doted on her. This time, she had been very generous to Ye Yunjian, and he should be extremely grateful.

But Ye Yunjian's current appearance was as if she owed him something. She was furious, and the sword at her waist suddenly trembled and was drawn from its sheath. Although only a section of it was drawn, the sound of the sword reverberating made everyone in the hall stunned.

Who is this usually quiet and reserved young man who is so ungrateful? Even a mere immortal sword has an imposing aura.

Ye Yunjian had already stepped outside. Meng Chuxi was about to activate her cultivation level when a woman in purple blocked her way.

The woman in purple looked at her, and suddenly a purple flame burned fiercely in her eyes. Although her aura was not as strong as Meng Chuxi's, she was still at the Xuan King realm. At this moment, she revealed a purple jade compass in her hand, which immediately emitted thousands of rays of light.

The radiance was shaped like a wheel, rotating in six directions. Around the purple flames were hideous faces of demons, Yama, and Dharma King, supported by four palms. Then, three halos began to emerge from the inside out, revealing a world of purple flames.

Meng Chuxi was shocked: "Profound King Realm, Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Her body trembled violently, and the faces of those around her showed fear. They stopped making any further moves, and their immortal swords were immediately sheathed...
