Chapter 462 - 403: Shut Out

Inside the mountain gate of the Daoist Sect, it was like a stone had stirred a thousand waves, with an uproar all around.

Chu Huaixu’s response caused the Inner Sect and Outer Sect to explode directly.

"The Direct Disciple Chu actually refused entry to the National Guardian of the Moon Country?"

"What’s this! It’s just as well not to meet. Just looking at him, you can sense there’s no good intentions."

"Exactly! Back at the East and West Continent Competition, I was on-site, and Xiahou Yue indeed contributed when Steward Niu was forced to death."

"Mm, now that you mention it, I reckon Direct Disciple Chu is still harboring a grudge against Steward Niu’s death."

"That’s certain, Steward Niu indulged Direct Disciple Chu a lot, treating him like his own nephew. Moreover, it’s well-known that Direct Disciple Chu is someone who values relationships deeply."

"Sigh, if he didn’t value relationships so deeply, who would dare, in front of the Moon Country’s Emperor, to kill his favored imperial grandson!"

"Just leave this National Guardian hanging, if he’s got guts, let him break through the Mountain Protection Array left by Dao Ancestor and come in himself, hahahaha!"

Niu Yuanshan had diligently and tirelessly worked in the Daoist Sect for many years, treating each disciple with utmost friendliness and warmth. His death had long been a thorn in the hearts of all Daoist disciples.

And precisely because of this, Chu Huaixu’s single word "No" instead made these ordinary disciples feel relieved, believing that Direct Disciple Chu was daring and doing what they wouldn’t dare to do!

Meanwhile, inside the Daoist Hall, Xiang Yan and others couldn’t help but feel helpless and amused.

"This kid, huh!" The bald Sect Leader of the Daoist Sect couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Chu Yinyin immediately jumped out and said, "I think my disciple did nothing wrong!"

"So what if he’s a National Guardian!" The old girl stiffened her neck and shadow-punched.

In her memory, Xiahou Yue was very arrogant indeed!

Moreover, earlier at the Moon Country Cultivation Hall, if it weren’t for Sword Venerable entering the Ninth Realm, the situation would indeed have been hard to handle.

Zhao Shuqi and Li Chunsong, this "people five people six" combination, quickly exchanged a glance.

This squinty-eyed fellow first spoke, "Obviously Xiahou Yue is seeking something from Huaixu, and yet he hasn’t sent a Flying Sword Communication or given a prior notice."

"Leaving him hanging for a while is good, a chance to see how significant his request is."

"If it’s not a big issue, this National Guardian might leave in a huff right on the spot."

"But if he still waits outside the mountain gate, it seems to be no small matter~"

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

Xiang Yan squinted his eyes suddenly at this moment.

"First it was Lin Qingci, now it’s Xiahou Yue..."

"It seems the old emperor of the Moon Country has made the same decision as this Female State Preceptor." The Sect Leader spoke again.

Everyone agreed that the Sect Leader’s words were quite true.

Jiang Zhi couldn’t help but let out a cold hum before deciding with a clap:

"No rush, might as well wait and see for now."

....

....

Outside the mountain gates of the Daoist Sect.

The National Guardian Xiahou Yue stood in midair, furious.

"What kind of attitude is this!"

"What’s with this attitude!" His heart was filled with rage.

Actually, he was well aware that his relationship with Chu Huaixu wasn’t harmonious.

Thus, he deliberately activated Spiritual Power just now, spoke such words, and let everyone in the Daoist Sect hear.

What am I doing this for?

Isn’t it all to give you some face!

Soon, this matter will probably spread throughout the entire Profound Yellow Realm.

And Chu Huaixu will again become the center of attention in the Cultivation Realm.

But what happened?

"You kid dare to say ’No’!"

It infuriates me!

Xiahou Yue, esteemed as the foremost apparent strongman of the Moon Country, possesses the most noble status, but he hadn’t faced such a situation for many years.

And to top it off, it’s a junior who humiliates him, just a Fourth Realm cultivator.

Now, Xiahou Yue was well aware that so many disciples in the Daoist Sect were watching the drama unfold within the gates!

This made the face of the National Guardian alternate between green and red.

Yet his visit was made under imperial order, with utmost loyalty to Qin Tianyang...

Eventually, Xiahou Yue could only continue standing mid-air, waiting bitterly outside the mountain gate.

After a while, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart, "Why aren’t Xiang Yan and others coming out to smooth things over!"

"This Daoist Sect is truly rude!"

Unbeknownst to him, Xiang Yan and others were indeed very protective.

Now that Chu Huaixu had made this decision, as elders, they should prop up his dignity.

And besides, what’s Jiang Zhi’s temperament? They surely know well enough!

Chu Huaixu’s action was right in line with his intent.

If anyone now jumps out to play peacemaker, they might get their legs broken by Junior Martial Uncle.

These shameless old folks were now happy to watch the spectacle.

Xiahou Yue stood in the air, somewhat feeling tossed about by the wind.

Due to the isolation by the Mountain Protection Array, his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate inside. Otherwise, he only needed to scan to discover Lin Qingci was also in the Daoist Sect.

Otherwise, he’d estimate he’d be even more upset!

Because this Female State Preceptor didn’t lend a helping word either.

She merely stood by, observing Chu Huaixu, increasingly finding this person intriguing.

Throughout her life, trapped in a cage, dreary and dull.

Staying beside Chu Huaixu, more delights arose each day.

She hadn’t expected:

"Your Majesty has actually made the same decision as I did."

This indeed brought a sense of relief within her.

Recently, Lin Qingci had faced her own confusion.

After breaking free from the cage, she felt an immense world and nowhere to go.

The reason was simple; she was originally the Moon Country’s State Preceptor, supposed to return to Moon Country indeed.

But she sought out Chu Huaixu, severed the Emperor’s Divine Thought; Moon Country was out of reach.

Strictly speaking, in this thousand-year span, the Moon Country had but one true Moon Emperor - Ancestor Emperor!

The rest of the Moon Emperors were merely puppet emperors.

At most, they’d be half-step Emperor Realm.

She destroyed the Emperor’s Divine Thought, virtually traitorous.

Not being hunted down would be fortunate, why dare to fall into the trap?

Now, she hadn’t thought that Qin Tianyang and she would share the same views, belong to the same camp.

In that case, if Chu Huaixu was willing to act....

This bare-footed Female State Preceptor couldn’t resist glancing at him with sideward eyes.

"Only for now, he seems unwilling to assist?" She sighed slightly in her heart.

The two continued shoulder to shoulder.

"State Preceptor." Chu Huaixu suddenly called out and then paused.

"Hmm?" Lin Qingci was slightly startled, "Daoist Chu, speak your mind."

"There’s one thing, I hope the State Preceptor can help." He said.

"Okay." Lin Qingci replied straightforwardly, without even asking, simply agreeing.

Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but look at her with a smile, asking, "Don’t you want to know what it is?"

"It’s fine." Lin Qingci responded.

Her attitude was clear; whatever you want me to do is okay.

Chu Huaixu was slightly taken aback by this, then said, "I hope the State Preceptor won’t tell anyone that I can heal the damage to the foundation of Divine Sense."

The Female State Preceptor heard this and couldn’t help but give him a look.

She had faintly guessed Chu Huaixu’s intentions in her heart.

Sure enough.

This young man in a black and gold robe directly said before her face:

"I wonder how many years that old emperor of your Moon Country has left to live?"
