Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 201

The crowd’s faces changed dramatically.

Could it be that the “Laifu” mentioned by the Celestial Being Ye is his closest friend?

Otherwise, why would they react so strongly?

This Yuhua Sect Master seems to have gotten into some serious trouble!

Faced with the terrifying pressure of a Celestial Being, Wan Changwei felt utterly overwhelmed; his bones creaked under the strain, and it felt like his blood was about to stop flowing. An instinctive sense of fear and helplessness washed over him.

Pitiful, weak, and powerless.

“Old Liu, think quickly! Is there anyone called ‘Laifu’ among the enemies I’ve taken down?!”

Wan Changwei anxiously transmitted his voice, perhaps because he had killed too many people, he immediately began to doubt himself in the face of this situation.

After all, Celestial Beings don’t just get angry for no reason; something must have triggered this!

Could it be that he hadn’t cleaned up the mess well enough back then, and his identity as the true culprit was deduced through celestial arts?

Don’t say it—there’s a possibility of that happening!

Old Liu was also startled by the sudden turn of events; sweat beads the size of soybeans sprang up on his forehead. Facing the sect master’s intense questioning, he shook his head like a rattle.

His gesture signified, “Don’t ask me! I know nothing!”

“Wan Sect Master, who would have thought you had the guts to lay hands on Senior Ye’s friend.”

Seeing this, Xue Wuhen’s expression turned cold, his tone dripping with threat, “Quickly confess, where are you hiding that friend named Laifu?!”

Boom!

Another wave of Celestial pressure descended, and this time, Wan Changwei could no longer hold himself together. He dropped to one knee, cold sweat running down his face, and his expression looked akin to someone constipated, genuinely stifled and frustrated in his heart.

Please, can someone just tell me who Laifu is?!

Mainly because I have no impression of this person, am I supposed to take the blame for something that’s not my fault?

“Wan Sect Master, what are you still holding out for? Hurry up and release that friend named Laifu; there might still be room for negotiation in this matter.” Fan Dezhen couldn’t bear to watch any longer and advised earnestly.

“Yeah, yeah, just let the person go already! Look at the mess this is causing, sigh!” Others chimed in.

Even on Yuhua Sect’s side, many disciples and elders, fearing retribution from the two Celestial Beings, pleaded for Wan Changwei to let Laifu go.

Seeing this, Wan Changwei was so furious he nearly coughed up blood; his entire body quaked, his face a mix of rage and despair. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, “By the heavens, I truly don’t know who Laifu is!!!”

“Humph, stubborn as a mule!” Xue Wuhen was furious, lifting his fingers swirling with Sword Qi, ready to teach this man a lesson.

“Wait.”

Ye Junlin waved his hand to stop him.

“Senior Ye, don’t worry! I’ll extract where Laifu is right now!” Xue Wuhen declared firmly.

Cough, cough,

Ye Junlin coughed a few times and clarified, “Apologies, I got too immersed in the situation just now; hearing Wan Sect Master’s name reminded me of a deceased old friend. I hope for your understanding.”

“Ah…”

Upon hearing this reason, everyone froze like they had turned to stone.

They never expected such a commotion would lead to this.

It turns out they all wrongly accused Wan Changwei!

Feeling the pressure that had enveloped him suddenly vanish, Wan Changwei finally relaxed. With his head bowed, his face was a mess of twitching muscles, his eyes bloodshot, and his back molars clenched tightly.

You, Ye Junlin, are just messing with me, aren’t you?

What a ridiculous excuse!

Only an idiot would believe that!

Wan Changwei secretly scoffed, waiting for others who couldn’t stand Ye Junlin to speak out for the unfairness he just suffered.

The next second, the crowd erupted, and discussions surged.

“Ye, the Celestial Being, is a true friend; he is a role model for us all!”

“Sigh, that friend named Laifu must have been wronged and perished because of Changwei. So tragic.”

“Damn Changwei, why did he go after Laifu? This guy is truly a beast!”

“Waaah, I’m teary-eyed; to get so caught up in this, you can see how decent and loyal Ye the Celestial Being is!”

…

Hearing such outrageous claims, countless question marks appeared over Wan Changwei’s head, his expression one of life-doubt.

Is there still justice in this world?

Clearly, I’m the victim here!!!

Just because the guy named Ye is higher in cultivation, you all can just speak nonsense with your eyes wide open?

Wan Changwei felt an immense sense of injustice, a frustration that left him powerless and angry.

Yet he couldn’t do anything about it, which was the most infuriating part.

On Kunpeng, everyone was watching.

Li Wujie sighed, “I really envy that friend named Laifu; he’s cared for so much by the Master.”

Hong Qianye’s expression was strange; based on her past instincts, she felt something was slightly off.

“So that’s how it is. I can understand Senior Ye’s feelings.”

Xue Wuhen nodded, his expression easing considerably, and he turned to the middle-aged man who was half-kneeling, asking seriously, “Wan Sect Master, I’m sure you understand, right?”

Inside, Wan Changwei cursed, “I understand your mother!”

Of course, he could never say that aloud; after all, Celestial Beings are not to be insulted; speaking any offending words would mean dying for no good reason.

Wan Changwei made a tremendous effort to calm himself down. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly stood up, raised his head, and swiftly switched to a friendly smile, as if the grievances he had just suffered were tossed to the sky, speaking earnestly:

“Of course, I completely understand!”

To adapt and endure—this is what a true man does; moreover, he had high emotional intelligence, having dealt with various situations.

The Ancestor of the Xue Family watched this unfold and secretly admired, “Only you, Changwei!”

What is called perspective? This is it!

At this moment, Wan Changwei wore a smile that melted hearts; you would never guess he had any flaws.

There’s an old saying: you don’t hit a smiling person.

With me smiling like this, you can’t target me anymore!

Looking at the enormous Yuhua Sect lineup that numbered in the hundreds of thousands, Ye Junlin seemed to think of something, and he commented, “This big sect is great; I wiped out so many of your people before, and yet you can still gather this many now—impressive, impressive.”

Wan Changwei: “…”

“Uh,” the crowd exchanged glances, uncertain whether that was praise or ridicule.

The cultivators in Yuhua Sect fumed; it was obvious he was stepping on their heads, but when thinking of this terrifying identity, they dared not speak out, silenced by fear.

Wan Changwei felt miserable.

Clearly, my smile was so sincere, why do you still have to slap my face?!

Haven’t you learned about “emotional intelligence”?

Wan Changwei’s forehead swelled with veins, still maintaining his stiff smile, “Ye the Celestial Being, you jest! The thing my Yuhua Sect lacks the most is people.”

As he said this, he didn’t know whether to feel proud or disgusted.

His mood was quite complicated.

It was like someone had violently shoved a mouthful of excrement down his throat, and he had to force himself to say it tasted great…

“By the way, what happened to that Saint Son who fought with Ah Kun and ended up in the urinal?” Ye Junlin asked curiously.

He realized that the guy named Chen Xiao hadn’t shown up.

If he had been there, he would have truly wanted to ask about that day’s Kun urine—what was its taste really like?

Wan Changwei’s face darkened; this was also a humiliation for Yuhua Sect—how could their dignified Saint Son have been defeated by someone’s mount and almost drowned in urine?

Now that this was brought up, Wan Changwei felt extremely embarrassed, his toes nearly digging into a palace of shame.

“Returning to Ye the Celestial Being, I had Chen Saint Son remain in the sect; because if I were to perish in the Underworld Abyss, he could take over my position and maintain the status quo!”

Suddenly inspired, Wan Changwei stood tall, speaking in a righteous tone. That kind of resolute determination moved countless hearts.

Feeling the change in the crowd’s gazes, Wan Changwei’s heart swelled with pride.

At this moment, Ye Junlin pondered for two seconds and said, “In simpler terms, you left him there to clean up your mess, right?”

Wan Changwei: “?”

Too much! Are you seriously giving me no face at all?

Being slapped in the face time and again, Wan Changwei was angered to the point of bursting, helplessly glaring at the young man before him.

For the grand vision, I will endure!!

Xue Wuhen glanced around, clasping his hands in respect, “Senior Ye, I believe it’s time; shouldn’t we set off now for the Underworld Abyss?”

“I agree!” Wan Changwei couldn’t wait to say; he was utterly fed up, feeling like if they talked any longer, he would genuinely die from anger.

At the same time, Wan Changwei felt quite sad. After all, his Yuhua Sect was the initiator of this conflict; how did it turn around to be targeted like this?

“Alright, let’s set off.” Ye Junlin casually waved his hand, settling back into a reclining chair, grabbing his milk tea and slurping it up through a straw. He was in a state of “I’m just sitting here watching you perform.”

“Everyone, follow Senior Ye and flatten the Underworld Abyss!” Xue Wuhen’s voice echoed with intensity, resonating in all directions.

Boom—!!!

In an instant.

Countless astonishing auras erupted, merging into an expansive sea, ready to overturn the sky above and shake the sun and moon.

“Follow Senior Ye and flatten the Underworld Abyss! Let’s establish a peaceful era for our Eastern Domain!” Fan Dezhen shouted.

“Kill ahhhh!!!” Countless cultivators felt their blood boiling, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

The roar of the killing intent shook the heavens, rocking the entire Shanhai Pass.

This coalition army formed by various forces from the Eastern Domain now surged forward, officially heading toward the Underworld Abyss…
