A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 47

Upon hearing Murong Huang’s words, the disciples present were stirred into a frenzy, deeming this decision utterly unreasonable. After all, from the very beginning, they had expressed confusion over the Myriad Flower Holy Land’s practice of assessing disciples’ Dao Companions. However, recognizing the authority of the Holy Land and its reasons, coupled with their respect for its power, no one had dared to speak up.

But now, as this religious rule affected Holy Maiden Su, they could no longer sit idly by; after all, she was the Holy Maiden they upheld in their hearts.

Murong Huang paid no heed to their sentiments; they were merely disciples, and over time, they would come to accept this decision. The most pressing concern was Su Qiaoran’s stance. If she was willing, then the second daughter could remain; if she was unwilling, then she had to be eliminated no matter what.

Su Qiaoran simply lowered her head in silence for a moment before raising it to meet Murong Huang’s gaze, her eyes filled with icy determination as she sneered coldly.

“I didn’t realize that the Holy Lord and the others were so hypocritical. Just because I got married, you stripped me of my right to be the Holy Maiden. But Murong Xue is nothing but a trivial matter; her talent is far inferior to mine, and in terms of looks, she cannot compare either. How can she even be considered a Holy Maiden?”

“If this is the stance of the Holy Land, then I refuse!”

As she spoke, Su Qiaoran looked at Murong Huang and the others with unwavering resolve, not backing down in the slightest. Furthermore, given her understanding of the Myriad Flower Holy Land, she sensed that this matter was far from over; they might even target her hubby next.

If she had known the Myriad Flower Holy Land was composed of such people, she would have preferred to live with her hubby in the Southern Region from the very start.

With Su Qiaoran’s words hanging in the air, the disciples outside began to shout excitedly.

“Holy Maiden Su is magnificent! She truly is the best Holy Maiden in my heart!”

“Go, Holy Maiden! No matter what, I believe you are the Holy Maiden; what is Murong Xue but trash!”

“If the sect is like this, then it’s better not to stay in the Myriad Flower Holy Land!”

Hearing Su Qiaoran’s response, Murong Huang and the others grew furious.

“How dare you, Su Qiaoran! You are so audacious! This Holy Lord is merely acting according to sect rules. Not having disposed of you is already a tremendous grace. Yet, instead of showing gratitude, you speak such wild words. Are you seeking death?”

Among the generations of Holy Maidens in the Myriad Flower Holy Land, there had indeed been those who stood up to refute the Holy Land’s directives and privately made lifelong commitments to others without its approval, but the outcome was always the same: they were stripped of their powers and position as Holy Maidens, leading to miserable ends.

Upon seeing this scene, Murong Xue was inwardly shouting desperately, “Su Qiaoran, keep going! I want to watch you be stripped of everything and turn into a disgrace for everyone!”

“What if I seek death? If the Holy Lord and the others insist on this, then I, Su Qiaoran, will withdraw from the Myriad Flower Holy Land starting today!”

Becoming the Holy Maiden had been Su Qiaoran’s goal since she was taken in by the inner door elders of the Myriad Flower Holy Land. Over the years, she had been striving toward that objective. It could be said that becoming the Holy Maiden had become her obsession. However, now that she had to choose between being the Holy Maiden and her hubby, she felt that perhaps the position of Holy Maiden wasn’t as important anymore.

As Su Qiaoran’s words fell, everyone present was shocked, clearly not expecting her to make such a choice.

The next moment, an Elder stepped forward, coming to Su Qiaoran’s side, looking at her with an angry expression and saying, “Su Qiaoran, did I adopt you for you to do such things? Apologize to the Holy Lord and the others and plead for their forgiveness if you wish to spare your life!”

The one who stepped up was Lin Tianyi, the inner door Elder who had previously adopted Su Qiaoran and was at the peak of Supreme cultivation. However, he was now exceedingly anxious; having raised Su Qiaoran, he had long regarded her as his own daughter, despite the lack of blood ties, and he absolutely could not bear to watch her perish in front of him.

With this thought in mind, Lin Tianyi turned to Murong Huang and the others, saying, “Holy Lord, respected Protector Elders, please give me a bit of face. Qiaoran only spoke out of momentary anger; please allow me to take her back to cool down for a while.”

After speaking, Lin Tianyi intended to take Su Qiaoran away. Su Qiaoran could naturally see that her adoptive father was concerned about her, so she could only allow him to lead her away. But how could Murong Huang swallow this anger? Having just suffered humiliation at Wu Hao’s side, he certainly wouldn’t endure it once more.

The next moment, Murong Huang’s furious voice rang out! “Elder Lin, you want me to give you face? Where do you think you get face with me, the Holy Lord?””Do you want this matter to end? Unless you agree to receive a strike from your Holy Lord, otherwise, I will expel Su Qiaoran from the Myriad Flower Holy Land!”

Hearing this, Lin Tianyi’s pupils constricted in shock, clearly not expecting Murong Huang to say such a thing. After all, with Qiaoran’s talent, it was at least possible for her to reach the peak of Quasi-Emperor, or perhaps even to break through to become a Great Emperor.

Moreover, after working diligently for so many years in the Myriad Flower Holy Land, he hadn’t thought that he would have no face in front of Murong Huang.

Lin Tianyi knew that if he followed Murong Huang’s words, he would undoubtedly perish, but if he didn’t comply, it would be Qiaoran who would suffer. With this in mind, Lin Tianyi gritted his teeth and looked at Murong Huang, saying, “Holy Lord, I accept your strike! Go ahead!”

Upon hearing this, Murong Huang’s expression darkened further. He had originally intended for Lin Tianyi to show a bit of interest and not to care for Su Qiaoran anymore, but now that Lin Tianyi had said such things, if he didn’t act, it would be embarrassing for him.

With this thought, Murong Huang decided not to hold back and directly unleashed a palm strike. He only used a fraction of his power, and whether Lin Tianyi could survive would depend on his luck.
