Chapter 832: Everyone Must Die

Guan Ling was utterly stunned.

The elder from the Fengyun Sect was also dumbfounded on the spirit ship.

A look of confusion was written all over his face.

He was still locked in a standoff with the sect leader, neither gaining the upper hand, when suddenly a group of lower-ranking elders stormed out, hurling insults. What kind of logic was this?

Is this how cards are supposed to be played?

However, the blatant disrespect from these elders provoked his intense fury.

"What kind of trash are you, to dare speak so arrogantly!"

The Fengyun Sect elder spoke in a sinister tone, laced with threat, "Do you think your Yun Jie Sect has existed in this world for too long?"

Yet, in the face of his threats, the elders immediately fired back, "If you're so tough, why don't you come and try? But let me tell you this—we’re not handing anyone over. Not now, not ever!"

"Either you fight to the death or get the hell out of here!"

This bold display left both Guan Ling and the Fengyun Sect completely bewildered.

This was beyond just being assertive—it was outright overbearing.

Whether it was the elder from Fengyun Sect or Guan Ling himself, they were left utterly unconfident.

Especially Guan Ling.

Earlier, he had been reluctant to hand over the person in question, but now he felt a pang of doubt.

"What’s going on with you all?" Guan Ling couldn’t help but ask.

"Hey, Sect Leader, you don’t know yet, do you?" One of the elders stepped forward, leaning in close to Guan Ling to relay a message through a secret transmission.

He detailed the matter concerning Bai Mei within the sect.

As the transmission concluded, the confusion in Guan Ling’s eyes vanished, replaced by sheer excitement.

"Really?" he asked.

"Absolutely true!"

Several elders nodded solemnly in confirmation.

"Hahahahaha…"

Upon receiving confirmation, Guan Ling burst into hearty laughter.

He never could have imagined that a moment of impulsive affection for Su Yu’er would bring such a monumental opportunity to the Yun Jie Sect.

The Golden Supreme Bone—this was the Golden Supreme Bone!

Finally, he understood why the elders had reacted this way. So that was the reason.

In that case, not only could Bai Mei not be handed over, but the Yun Jie Sect also needed to go all out to show her their dedication, making her feel a sense of belonging to the sect and binding her tightly to them.

"Humph," Guan Ling suddenly felt a surge of confidence, tilting his head and raising his chin.

"Want her? Go eat sh*t!"

"You!"

The Fengyun Sect elder trembled with rage.

Just when he thought he was gaining the upper hand, forcing Guan Ling to relent, something had happened to make the Yun Jie Sect members suddenly so defiant.

This sudden boldness…

Was there a powerful expert backing them? Or had they formed an alliance with another sect?

For a moment, he also felt unsure.

Before coming, the Fengyun Sect had instructed him to rely primarily on intimidation.

After all, although the Fengyun Sect possessed spirit ships, they still couldn’t recklessly ignore other sects.

The Yun Jie Sect was, after all, a formidable sect. Engaging in an all-out war over Bai Mei simply wasn’t worth it.

In other words, they too believed that waging a full-blown battle for Bai Mei would be a losing proposition.

At best, it might serve as a show of strength, but beyond that, it offered little benefit.

"Fine, fine. The Yun Jie Sect truly has an impressive aura of dominance!"

After a brief assessment of the situation, the Fengyun Sect decided to back down.

"But this matter is far from over. Though I don’t know what has emboldened you to act so recklessly, the consequences of this will far exceed your expectations."

"Because our Young Master’s identity is beyond anything you can imagine."

"Remember this: anyone who stands in the way of our Young Master obtaining Bai Mei—anyone—must die!"
