Chapter 1788: Chapter 1788: I Don’t Want to Die to Atone for My Sins

Looking at the expression on his face, one could tell he was not convinced. Though his words appeared agreeable, who knows what improper things he might blurt out when face to face with others.

“What?!”

The Second Elder was horrified, thinking he must have heard wrong.

Listening Thunder Cliff, the place that was bombarded daily with countless bolts of lightning, where being struck down dead was a possibility if one failed to dodge in time.

He was so old, yet he was to go to Listening Thunder Cliff? It had always been a place for disciplining unruly ordinary disciples, and none who were sent there had ever returned.

He was an elder, after all, how could he be sent there?

“Sect… Sect Master, your subordinate…”

“Get out!”

Sect Master Wan didn’t want to hear his voice anymore and roared angrily at him.

If it were not for his status as an elder, Sect Master Wan would have definitely acted, twisting his head off without hesitation. Wasn’t it lenient to only send him to Listening Thunder Cliff?

“Your subordinate…”

“Second Elder, leave at once.”

Seeing his father on the verge of rage, Wan Yan quickly spoke up, urging the Second Elder to leave.

If he didn’t leave then, it wouldn’t just be a matter of going to Listening Thunder Cliff; he might leave his life in his father’s hands.

Besides, with the Second Elder’s strength, there wasn’t much danger in going to Listening Thunder Cliff. At worst, he would suffer some hardship; it wasn’t deadly, so there was no reason he couldn’t go.

He didn’t consider the chaos he had caused; he could very well be pushing Qian Jiyun, the inter-plane traveler, and An Jiuyue, the alchemist of Ninth Grade or above, into the hands of the Evil Sect.

“I…”

The Second Elder opened his mouth, glanced at the Young Sect Master, and then at Sect Master Wan, whose face was extremely ugly. He involuntarily swallowed his saliva and lowered his head as he walked out.

If he didn’t leave now, he feared he might leave his life behind right here, today.

The Sect Master’s gaze was truly terrifying. Was he contemplating killing him and sending his decapitated head to the inter-plane traveler?

He admitted he had made a mistake, but he did not wish to atone with his death.

“Father, Master Qian is about to leave soon. If you have any plans, keep him here. Otherwise, tomorrow I’ll bring Xie Qi with me to get closer to Master Qian?”

Wan Yan suggested.

He saw that Qian Jiyun seemed quite fond of Xie Qi, treating him like a younger member of his own family.

If he went with Xie Qi, they should be able to earn Qian Jiyun’s trust, right?

Hearing his suggestion, Sect Master Wan fell silent.

In front of the Evil Sect, his Thousands of Demons Sect had always been superior. Now, to get close to Qian Jiyun, an inter-plane traveler, he was to allow his son to side with Xie Qi?

He was conflicted, feeling it was unnecessary.

But Qian Jiyun’s attitude towards Xie Qi was indeed different from his toward them, of this he was a hundred percent sure.

“Have Xie Qi accompany you around the Thousands of Demons Sect tomorrow. It would be best to invite… Isn’t there an attendant with Young Master Qian? Bring him along as well.”

“Ah?”

Wan Yan was taken aback for a moment, not immediately grasping the idea.

To engage with an attendant? Wouldn’t that be beneath his dignity? He felt disdainful.

“Don’t underestimate that attendant. An attendant who can stay by the side of an inter-plane traveler can hardly be an ordinary person,” Sect Master Wan remarked coldly, seeing the disdain on his son’s face.

“I understand,” Wan Yan nodded, acknowledging that lowering his status was not a big deal after all.
