CHAPTER 692: CHAPTER 691: KIDNAPPING THE SAINTESS (5/5)

Shangqing Sect.

Cliff Divine Hall.

The complicated procedures have finally come to an end.

At this moment, everyone held their breath.

Kunze announced, "Now, the Saintess shall ascend the throne and receive the ancestor inheritance!"

No one cheered, nor did anyone applaud; everyone held their breath, looking at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin looked at the Soul Capturing Platform at the center of the square, her expression somewhat tense.

She involuntarily glanced at Yang Chen, fearing that if she failed this time, she would forget Yang Chen.

Yang Chen also furrowed his brow, closely watching Ye Xin’s every move.

Urged by several Elders, Ye Xin slowly walked toward the Soul Capturing Platform.

Beside her, Kun Ren smiled as he explained to Yang Chen, "This is the ancient platform passed down in our sect, containing the sect’s inheritance. It’s very powerful."

Yang Chen totally ignored Kun Ren’s words, his brow furrowed, staring intently at Ye Xin’s side, fearing even the slightest unexpected event.

He noticed that after Ye Xin walked onto the Soul Capturing Platform, Kunze and several Elders started taking action.

After Ye Xin sat cross-legged, Kunze and several Elders also sat cross-legged, preparing to activate the Soul Capturing Platform to control Ye Xin’s soul.

At this moment, Yang Chen felt he must do something to disrupt them!

At this time, Kun Ren was still babbling in Yang Chen’s ear.

Yang Chen’s eyes brightened suddenly as he came up with a plan.

Immediately, Yang Chen looked at Kun Ren with a face of horror and took a step back.

Kun Ren, seeing Yang Chen’s change, was also taken aback, very puzzled.

Yang Chen pointed at Kun Ren and shouted loudly, "Why! I’ve clearly reached Innate Cultivation and can become an Inner Sect Disciple, so why do you insist I serve your bed? I’m a man! Not a woman! Why do you want me like this?"

At this, Kun Ren’s face turned green.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kun Ren shouted angrily.

This shout successfully drew everyone’s attention, even making Kunze involuntarily glance over, frowning, and then continued to activate the Soul Capturing Platform.

On the Soul Capturing Platform, Ye Xin already sensed something; her delicate eyebrows knitted tightly, beads of fragrant sweat emerging on her smooth forehead, and her expression was one of great struggle, seemingly resisting something.

Yang Chen, on his side, shouted even more energetically, "If it were just you, I might still agree, but with you and Palace Master Kun Bai together, what do you take me for? A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! I would rather not be an Inner Sect Disciple than suffer such humiliation!"

"You! You! You!" Kun Ren was so angry he almost spat blood.

Kun Bai was also dumbfounded. He had said nothing, so how had he gotten dragged into this?

Yang Chen continued to shout, "You treat me, a male disciple, like this, who knows how many times you’ve treated female disciples of the sect this way? You really make me sick!"

At these words, the numerous Inner Sect Disciples also became furious.

Because they would not leave the sect, even at the moment of death, they were to live in the sect.

Therefore, their choice of partners was basically limited to the female disciples of the sect.

Moreover, the female disciples in the sect were already few, a situation of many wolves and little meat. If a few more were ruined by these beastly palace masters, how could they live?

Furthermore, those violated female disciples definitely dared not speak out; who knew if they would become a scapegoat?

Shangqing Sect had always been in a closed state, so the internal male chauvinism was still quite severe. Anyone marrying a woman deemed impure certainly couldn’t bear it.

Suddenly, a group encircled the two of them.

Even someone boldly shouted, "Justice! Justice! Justice!"

A group of people shouted for justice, their voices shaking the sky.

At this point, it completely disrupted Kunze and the others’ concentration, making the power controlling the Soul Capturing Platform unstable.

At this time, Ye Xin suddenly stood up and leaped from the Soul Capturing Platform!

"What!" Kunze was startled, looking at Ye Xin in disbelief.

He couldn’t figure out why Ye Xin jumped down when they had just started the Soul Capturing Platform and hadn’t yet controlled Ye Xin’s soul?

Kunze was slightly flustered, but as the Sect Master, he calmed his emotions and stood up, addressing Ye Xin, "The inheritance isn’t over yet; the ceremony hasn’t stopped. Why have you come down?"

Ye Xin smiled slightly and said calmly, "It’s already done!"

"It’s already done?" Kunze was taken aback, a flicker of anger in his eyes.

From Ye Xin’s appearance, it seemed she had already received the inheritance, but the Soul Capturing Platform hadn’t played its role, and she absolutely couldn’t allow Ye Xin to leave just like that!

If a Saintess uncontrolled poses too big a threat to the sect!

Should the Saintess leave, where is the hope for the sect’s revival?

Immediately, Kunze commanded, "To the Upper Lotus Platform, continue the ceremony!"

"No!" Ye Xin directly refused.

"You!" Kunze couldn’t control his anger any longer.

Beside him, the Third Elder was furious, seeing the plan about to succeed; how could they give up? He shouted angrily, "Ye Xin! You’re not the Saintess yet. To become the Saintess, you must complete the ceremony!"

At this point, the attention below was drawn back, wondering what changes had occurred up there.

Kun Ren and Kun Bai gritted their teeth, wishing they could tear Yang Chen apart.

They never expected that this person, who just now seemed to respect his masters, would suddenly throw such dirty water on them, and such disgusting water at that!

But now, surrounded by Inner Sect Disciples, they couldn’t go out and make trouble for Yang Chen.

At this time, Ye Xin had already started to confront Kunze and the others.

Ye Xin snorted coldly and said to the Third Elder, "Fine then! What if I choose not to become the Saintess!"

"You!" The Third Elder angrily pointed at Ye Xin.

Kunze also shouted angrily, "Ye Xin! This is not the time for your nonsense. Our Shangqing Sect’s thousand-year inheritance cannot be capricious at your whim!"

Ye Xin snorted coldly, "In that case..."

"Goddess! I love you!" Yang Chen shouted below, interrupting Ye Xin’s words.

He thought they shouldn’t be made to think Ye Xin knew their purpose.

Yang Chen’s action instantly attracted everyone’s gaze again.

Ye Xin turned her head and, seeing it was Yang Chen, couldn’t help but smile.

Yang Chen shouted, "I love you, goddess! From the first day you came here, I fell in love with you. I love you, not caring about food or drink! I love you, unable to sleep at night. Whether my eyes are open or closed, it is all your image! I love you, goddess, I really love you! With such a sect, such palace masters, I’d rather not be an Inner Sect Disciple; I want to leave! I want to leave here, goddess, I love you! Come with me!"

Yang Chen’s declaration echoed in the canyon.

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Yang Chen as if at a fool.

They thought if the goddess really accepted Yang Chen, it would be like the sun rising in the west.

"Alright! I’ll go with you!" Ye Xin said coquettishly.

The voice echoed, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Ye Xin leaped over in front of Yang Chen, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes showing tenderness.

Yang Chen took Ye Xin’s hand, turned, and started running towards the stairs.

Everyone watched this scene, completely dumbfounded, thinking, did Yang Chen just use a few words to steal away their Saintess?
