Chapter 299: Resigning for You

Ren Yuanzi stared at Mu Zi, with an ambiguous light flashing in his eyes.

Previously, Mu Zi used the Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram to allow Ren Yuanzi to confirm her identity. She was the person who had destroyed his clone not long ago.

When he just confirmed this, Ren Yuanzi was extremely surprised. He thought that the one who could destroy the clone would be an older generation of strong man from a certain sect, but he didn't expect it to be a young disciple!
Such an evil genius must not be allowed to grow up!
If the other party killed the clone, it means there is an irreconcilable contradiction, and it is very likely related to the core secrets of Yuanmen. Therefore, since they are destined to be the enemy of Yuanmen, they cannot be let go.

Therefore, he sent a message to Tian Yuanzi, asking him not to pursue Lin Dong’s matter any further. This way, Dao Zong would no longer have a reason to intervene.

As for letting Lin Dong go, it was also a consideration after weighing the pros and cons. Mu Zi, who was able to kill Man Yuanzi's clone, was obviously more threatening. In comparison, Lin Dong could let her go for now.

"Ren Yuanzi, what do you mean?" Ying Xuanzi frowned slightly and spoke.

"Hehe." Ren Yuanzi smiled faintly, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, "Master Ying, you may not know that a few months ago, our Yuan Sect elder Liu Chang was killed on the way out on business, and the aura of the man who shot him was very similar to that of the disciple from Qianhai Sect."

Then, Ren Yuanzi looked at Mu Zi and said calmly:

"Come with me to Yuanmen to investigate. If it has nothing to do with you, I will let you go back to Qianhai Sect."

Seeing Ren Yuanzi stirring up trouble like this, a cold light flashed in Mu Zi's eyes.

"You should know the truth of the matter very well. In order to kill Liu Chang, you traveled thousands of miles and even lost one of your clones."

Ren Yuanzi's expression remained unchanged, still with a faint smile on her face, but her tone had turned cold.

"You are a young man who is good at making excuses. As the head of Yuan Sect, why should I attack the elders of the sect?"

Mu Zi's eyes were indifferent. "Then I have to ask you, the traitor of Tianxuan Continent!"

As soon as these words came out, Ren Yuanzi's gentle expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"You have slandered the head of Yuan Sect, which is a serious crime. It seems that I can only suppress you."

Ren Yuanzi's face was gloomy, and he immediately turned his gaze towards Ying Xianzi and the other person, and said calmly:

"Master Ying, next, I will take away the murderer who killed my Yuan Sect elder. Dao Sect should not interfere, right?"

In the sky, Ying Xuanzi looked at Ren Yuanzi and frowned deeply.

"Do you have any evidence that Mu Zi killed the elder of Yuan Sect?"

Ren Yuanzi sneered when he heard this, "My words are the evidence!"

Ying Xuanzi stared at Ren Yuanzi with a deep look in his eyes.

"I think there is something suspicious about this matter. Why would the disciples of Qianhai Sect attack the elders of Yuan Sect?"

Ren Yuanzi did not argue, but said coldly: "This is a matter of Yuanmen and has nothing to do with Daozong."

Tian Yuanzi, who was standing by, also spoke at this time: "Haha, Master Ying, the next thing will be a matter between our Yuan Sect and Qianhai Sect. If anyone else interferes, I will show no mercy."

“If you decide to take action without considering the overall situation, then our Yuan Sect will have no choice but to accompany you to the end!”

Ying Xuanzi's expression also became somewhat gloomy. He looked at the three people from Yuan Sect and said in a deep voice:

"For a dignified headmaster of the Yuan Sect to attack a junior, this is a bit too much!"

"Haha, she is not just a young disciple, but also a murderer who killed our Yuan Sect elders. I will not show any mercy to such a person."

Ren Yuanzi smiled softly, looking at Ying Xuanzi's gloomy face, an inexplicable meaning emerged on his face.

Back then, Zhou Tong also killed three Yuanmen elders, which led to him taking action personally and "killing" him. In the end, Ying Xuanzi had no choice but to choose to tolerate it.

Now, Ren Yuanzi mentioned this matter in a veiled way, just to remind Ying Xianzi to consider the overall situation, just like he did back then.

Hearing Ren Yuanzi's meaningful words, Ying Xuanzi's eyes surged with anger, causing the nearby space to crack slightly.

However, when he saw the smiles on the faces of Tian Yuanzi and the other two, his heart suddenly trembled. His calm and cautious character took over and he suppressed the urge to attack.

There is a gap in strength between Dao Sect and Yuan Sect. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they should not go to war with them. After all, Mu Zi is not a disciple of Dao Sect, and Ying Xuanzi is not brave enough to risk everything for him.

Seeing that Ying Xianzi chose to remain silent, Ren Yuanzi showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and then turned his gaze to Mu Zi.

"If you surrender, you will suffer less pain."

“I’ll tie up your uncle!” Lin Dong’s face was ferocious, his eyes were filled with monstrous ferocity, and he stared at Ren Yuanzi in the distance.

"You want to intervene in this matter?" Ren Yuanzi looked over and said indifferently. Lin Dong looked up at the sky, clenched his fists tightly, and his deep voice spread clearly between heaven and earth.

"I said, if you want to hurt her, you have to step over my dead body."

Ren Yuanzi ignored Lin Dong and looked at Ying Xuanzi, whose face was uncertain. He smiled and said, “Is this what Dao Zong meant?”

"Lin Dong," a voice came from behind him. Lin Dong turned around and met Mu Zi's calm eyes. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Go back to Dao Sect."

Lin Dong took a deep breath, looked into Mu Zi's eyes, and shook his head, "They want to attack you, I can't just stand by and watch."

"Lin Dong."

In Dao Zong’s team, Ying Huanhuan bit her lips tightly. She was not surprised at all by Lin Dong’s choice, but her trembling body revealed the fluctuations in her heart.

“Lin Dong, regarding the matter of the Alien Demon Realm, my Yuan Sect will not pursue you any further for the sake of Dao Sect. We are indeed not in the right in this matter, but Mu Zi attacked and killed a Yuan Sect elder, so we have every right to take action against her. If you continue to act recklessly, I’m afraid even Dao Sect won’t be able to protect you!” Tian Yuanzi looked at Lin Dong with his black and white eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

I thought that this time I could only deal with Mu Zi first, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. If Lin Dong intervenes in this matter, they will have the opportunity to get rid of these two geniuses who pose a threat to Yuanmen at once, in one swoop!
When Ying Xuanzi saw this scene, his eyes darkened at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Lin Dong has a close relationship with the disciples of Qianhai Sect, so he would definitely not sit idly by. However, if he took action, the people of Yuanmen would be able to kill him with justification, and in the end, their Dao Sect would still lose one of its most outstanding disciples.

"Daddy, help them!"

Ying Huanhuan looked at the two people facing the head of Yuanmen, her eyes already red from crying. She turned her head and looked at Ying Xuanzi pleadingly.

Ying Xuanzi looked at the girl's pleading eyes, clenched his hands tightly, and a look of helpless pain flashed across his eyes. It's not that he didn't want to take action, but his every move involved hundreds of thousands of disciples of the entire Dao Sect, as well as the countless dynasties that depended on the Dao Sect.

"Ugh"

The old man in blue robe beside him also sighed secretly, probably knowing the pain in Ying Xuanzi's heart.

Back then, after Ying Xuanzi made that decision, he endured countless disappointments and questioning looks from the Dao Sect people, but the old man in blue robe understood how much the former had shouldered.

The person who was most heartbroken by Zhou Tong's incident was his master Ying Xuanzi. But in the end, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only endure the anger and murderous intent in his heart and forcibly suppress the calls for war within the sect, even though this would cause dissatisfaction and criticism from some disciples.

Lin Dong saw the pain and struggle in Ying Xianzi's eyes, then glanced at Ying Huanhuan and the others, then turned around and stared coldly at Ren Yuanzi and the others.

"What happened today was all my own doing. It has nothing to do with Dao Zong."

"After all, you are just a rookie. As a disciple of Dao Sect, your every word and action are not just your business."

Ren Yuanzi smiled faintly and said, "Boy, you should stop trying to show off."

Lin Dong's eyes were cold, and he turned around and faced Ying Xuanzi, ready to kneel down in the air.
When Mu Zi saw this scene, she knew what he was going to do and immediately shouted loudly.

“Lin Dong, you dare!”

With her around, how could Lin Dong be willing to retreat from the sect in disgrace like in the original novel?

Moreover, if Lin Dong broke off his relationship with Dao Sect, he would have to face the Yuan Sect Master who was in the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, and he might have a narrow escape from death. Yuan Sect no longer pursued Lin Dong, and Mu Zi did not want to drag him into a dangerous situation because of her own affairs.

Lin Dong turned his head and met Mu Zi's eyes, and saw his own reflection in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't listen to you this time."

Lin Dong's eyes softened. Looking at Mu Zi in front of him, he suddenly smiled and straightened his back.

"This time, I can finally fight alongside you."

Why did Lin Dong practice so hard? The answer was already clear. However, the difference in their strength was too great. No matter how much he improved, he could not close the gap with Mu Zi.

All along, with Mu Zi's strength and means, he could handle any situation with ease, and he didn't need Lin Dong's help at all. Instead, he was often promoted. In front of Mu Zi, he was like a burden and played almost no role.
This time, Mu Zi lost her strongest support, and she was facing the most deadly crisis. In such a situation, even she might not be completely sure. So, it was his turn to protect Mu Zi.

There are many secrets in Lin Dong's body, including the ancestral stone, the Qiankun Ancient Formation, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, and the Heavenly Dragon Qi. Although his strength is far inferior to Mu Zi's, perhaps the power he can unleash when facing a desperate situation cannot be ignored.

When Mu Zi is in the most dangerous time, he will stand by her side and face it together!
Mu Zi stared at the light in Lin Dong's eyes, her brows slowly relaxed, and she nodded slightly under his gaze.

This time, let them truly fight side by side.

Lin Dong smiled slightly, then turned around, and amidst the countless gazes, he knelt down in the air facing Ying Xuanzi and performed the great salute of a disciple.

“Thank you very much for your teachings for a year, Master. From now on, I, Lin Dong, voluntarily leave Dao Sect and will no longer have anything to do with Dao Sect!”
