Chapter 430 - 426: Cangxuan Valley Has Shown Me No Kindness

The Valley Master of Cangxuan Valley and the Mansion Masters present were all wearing gloomy expressions.

Having just defeated Qin Tianlang, Shen Han was now, in front of other sects, seeking allegiance with the Star Tower.

This was basically a deliberate slap in the face to the high ranks of Cangxuan Valley.

Meanwhile, the observing Outer Sect disciples around all had a sense of satisfaction on their faces.

Although they were also disciples of Cangxuan Valley, they did not empathize with the Valley Master and Mansion Masters.

On the contrary, they felt Shen Han was doing the right thing.

Looking down on Outer Sect disciples and underestimating potential disciples deserved such a slap in the face!

In the crowd, many disciples were even praising Shen Han, feeling that Shen Han had stood up for them.

The Sect Leader of the Star Tower, upon hearing Shen Han’s words, was quite pleasantly surprised.

However, this was the territory of Cangxuan Valley...

The Sect Leader looked towards Yue Bugong, remaining quite polite.

"Valley Master Yue, this child’s words should not be taken lightly, I myself heard you say you would expel him from the sect.

If that’s the case, our Star Tower would indeed be interested in taking him in."

After speaking, Yue Bugong responded with a smile.

"Sect Leader Wang is jesting, what I just said was merely a joke.

I have just learned that the Mansion Masters placed an outstanding disciple in the Outer Sect.

But regardless of Outer or Inner Sect, they are all our Cangxuan Valley disciples; we naturally know how to nurture them. There’s no need for Sect Leader Wang to worry."

As he spoke, Yue Bugong stood up, raising his eyes towards Shen Han.

"Well..."

Prompted by Xu Yuan behind him, Yue Bugong reorganized his words.

"Shen Han, you entered our Cangxuan Valley and only reached today because of the grace of the valley.

Could you truly forget the sentiments of the valley?"

This statement was already quite obvious.

Cangxuan Valley was unwilling to let go, and there was a clear sense of threat in the words.

Talking about nurturing grace, people from other sects understood Yue Bugong’s attitude.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han stepped forward.

"To answer Valley Master Yue, I will certainly repay any grace shown.

But truly, Cangxuan Valley has shown me no grace whatsoever.

I have grudges with Inner Sect disciple Zheng Changnian; Zheng Changnian uses his connections to suppress and target me in various ways.

Previously at Feixia Mansion, I won three Pills, only for them to be forcibly taken by the Mansion Master of Feixia Mansion.

The rules they set themselves were not honored.

Zheng Changnian holds a high position in the valley and is favored by the seniors.

There’s plenty of suppression against me, Shen Han, but no grace indeed."

Shen Han’s words immediately clarified things for those from other sects.

This Shen Han truly resents Cangxuan Valley and wants to leave.

"I haven’t had much contact with the Mansion Masters of Cangxuan Valley, but have interacted slightly with Feixia Mansion and Chuixue Mansion.

I find the moral character of both Mansion Masters quite poor, extremely harsh towards Outer Sect disciples.

If I stay in Cangxuan Valley, I’m worried about potential threats to my life.

Also, Outer Sect disciples of Cangxuan Valley can always depart whenever they choose, even if the Valley Master doesn’t expel me, I choose to leave of my own accord.

However, I wonder if Sect Leader Wang would be willing to take me in."

"Take you in?

It’s not about taking in; a disciple like you is exactly what I desire."

The Sect Leader of Star Tower spoke sincerely.

"In that case, I, Shen Han, am willing to join the Star Tower."

While speaking, Shen Han also bowed and saluted the Sect Leader of Star Tower.

Truth be told, the Sect Leader of Star Tower was indeed quite tempted.

"If that’s the case, you don’t really fit with Cangxuan Valley. Coming to our Star Tower might suit you better."

As he spoke, the Sect Leader’s eyes were constantly fixed on Yue Bugong at his side.

"Valley Master Yue, it seems this child isn’t doing well in your Cangxuan Valley.

Your mansions below aren’t even willing to give him the status of an Inner Sect disciple.

And with some grudges against your prized disciple Zheng Changnian, it’s best to part amicably."

The Sect Leader’s words almost broke Yue Bugong’s composure.

"Is Sect Leader Wang intending to snatch disciples from my Cangxuan Valley?"

"Not snatch, but this child doesn’t mesh well with your valley.

Keeping him here would only put him in danger.

Zheng Changnian has your favor, and even if Shen Han stays, you’d choose Zheng Changnian over him, wouldn’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Bugong let out a light laugh.

"Seeing his potential, naturally, we would nurture him well.

The matters within the valley need not concern Sect Leader Wang."

Before the Sect Leader could speak, Shen Han was already walking towards the Star Tower section.

"Valley Master Yue, I was merely an Outer Sect disciple in the valley before, not having received any grace but plenty of harsh treatment.

Having decided to leave today, there will be no turning back.

Moreover, the promises made by Cangxuan Valley can’t be trusted..."

As Shen Han spoke, he was already standing completely behind the Sect Leader of Star Tower.

In front of everyone, he defeated Qin Tianlang of Snow Manor.

Then immediately chose to leave the sect for the Star Tower.

This was akin to roasting the faces of Cangxuan Valley’s high-ups over a fire.

The other sect leaders around displayed faint smiles on their faces.

The spectacle was quite amusing.

Even the Manor Master of Snow Manor, not in the best of moods, showcased a slight smile.

Seeing Yue Bugong upset, these people felt some satisfaction.

Previously, Yue Bugong would always boast about Zheng Changnian.

Today, an unexpected prodigy turned up and notably had a terrible relationship with Zheng Changnian.

"Think carefully; if you leave Cangxuan Valley like this, should Changnian target you in the future, there will be no sect rules to protect you."

Shen Han nodded: "Valley Master Yue, you overthink. The sect rules of Cangxuan Valley work well to protect them.

For us Outer Sect disciples, they often fail.

With or without sect rules, Zheng Changnian would come after me anyway.

With Star Tower’s protection, I doubt Zheng Changnian would have the courage."

Shen Han spoke calmly, without fear even when facing a superior like the Valley Master of Cangxuan Valley.

No wonder, having fought Luo Zuchen for so long, he’s become immune to their intimidation.

The Sect Leader was also quite pleased with Shen Han’s demeanor.

Many people lose their composure with a mere glance from top-tier masters.

But not Shen Han; he remained calm from start to finish, with a hint of mockery in his words.

"Valley Master Yue, as the saying goes, a forced melon isn’t sweet.

Shen Han will return with me to Star Tower.

After cultivating in our Star Tower for a while, when Celestial Sword Sect comes for a visit, we’ll present him to everyone.

See if our Star Tower can cultivate this child well."

Saying this, the Sect Leader intended to leave with the others, unwilling to linger.

Just as he turned, Xu Yuan, the Mansion Master of Feixia Mansion, chuckled.

"Sect Leader Wang, haven’t you noticed something off about this Shen Han?"
