Fallen Orchid Sect's Fate (3)
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 01:50:53 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 95 ---
Fifteen minutes later.
Fallen Orchid Sect's elders, grand elder, and sect master gathered in the Orchid Palace. They sat around a long stone-carved table and stared at Lan Rou with a revered look.
Well, she was their ancestor in a way. It's understandable.
Baek Ain, Yafei, and Yi Xian were "directly." given a special seat near Lan Rou. It caused almost everyone in the room to stare at them with curious gazes.
Of course, Lan Guan wasn't part of it because she knew these people's relationship with Lan Rou. She gave Baek Ain a questioning gaze as Lan Rou's statement fifteen minutes ago bothered her. A brat who probably hasn't grown his bottom hair was more powerful than her.
Not to mention his cultivation is two sub-level higher than hers, which is like a slap on the face for Lan Guan.
'Why are you staring at me like that?' Baek Ain weakly smiled when looking at Lan Guan's hostile gaze.
As everyone gathered in the room, Lan Rou slapped her hand onto the rock table and said, "Let's start the meeting."
Even though she didn't say much, the Fallen Sect's elders, grand elder, and master trembled upon hearing her voice.
Lan Rou stared at the Fallen Orchid Sect's Master and said, "Tianxue."
"Y-Yes, Ancestor!" A voice responded immediately.
"Are you the only pure Lan Clan member left in this place?" Lan Rou went straight to the topic.
Lan Tianxue was surprised by her question and replied, "No, Ancestor."
Pointing at the meek-looking woman beside herself, Lan Tianxue opened her mouth and answered, "Grand Elder of our sect is also a pure Lan Clan member, Lan Mingxi. She's the daughter of Orchid Ancestor 9th Brother and the most talented member right now."
"Um... W-Well, we also didn't marry and preserve our virginity for three centuries."
The meek-looking woman stared at Lan Rou and nodded helplessly, blushing because a topic like this was "rarely." brought up to the table.
It's not like they don't want to marry, but every male member of the Lan Clan was "thoroughly." killed in the past. And searching for a partner with a strong bloodline enough to overpower Lan Clan's Bloodline is hard.
Also, Demonic Practitioner is in a weird spot where they can't conceive a child from other factions. They have tried it, and none of them were successful.
And now the only remaining pure members are Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi, who occupied Sect Leader and Grand Elder's position in the Fallen Orchid Sect.
Since they have to maintain their purity and beauty, Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi have to train specific Dou Qi Method, causing their cultivation to develop extremely slowly yet firmly in the foundation.
Strictly speaking, Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi look younger than Lan Guan because of this exact Dou Qi Method. They appeared in their mid-twenties despite being older than Lan Guan by one and a quarter centuries.
"Tch, I see... You two cultivated that hideous Dou Qi Method." Lan Rou commented, realizing something in the silence of Fallen Orchid Sect's Master and Grand Elder.
"Don't you know the consequences of training a Pure Orchid Body?"
"After the threshold stage, you two will become nothing but breeding stock to birth pure Lan Offsprings. You couldn't change the Dou Qi Method because the Pure Orchid Body changed your body to become more fertile and suitable to carry a child."
"You two should be less than 300 years old, which means the Pure Orchid Body has formed completely."
"Why are you doing this to yourself?" Lan Rou couldn't understand the foolish choice these fellas picked.
Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi stared at each other before smiling helplessly.
"Orchid Ancestor-!" Lan Tianxue tried to call Lan Rou by her title.
Lan Rou frowned and said, "Just call me like you used to do before."
"Then... Great Aunt." Lan Tianxue nodded. "Even though you hated the Lan Clan to the bones, Mingxi and I loved it so much."
"We were born and grew up in this clan."
"We couldn't bear to watch it disappear in history and build this sect with little-to-no foundation at the beginning. Of course, growing to this stage is all thanks to your Half-Saint's Essence, Six Path Reincarnation Flame, and the Great Lan Library, where all Clan Techniques recorded(though some disappeared because of the war), which we dug three centuries ago..."
"As the remaining pure descendant of the Yin Yan Orchid Clan, I have watched my father, mother, and everyone perish. I didn't blame you for hating the clan because late elders did some despicable things, but not everyone is bad."
"That's why Mingxi and I decided to revive the clan with a better and uncorrupted foundation, erasing anything related to bad influences from the former experience of the clan."
"I even burned the Blood Ritual Text." Lan Tianxue added, which caused Lan Rou to raise her eyebrow.
Lan Rou stared at Lan Tianxue and said, "You know the Blood Ritual also could create a pure bloodline and revive the clan even faster, right?"
Lan Mingxi took over this time and answered, "We did, but what's the point of taking the late elders' path? It causes you and us so much suffering."
"I know you suffered a lot because of late elders. My father once told me a story about it as he opposed such a disgusting ritual."
Lan Rou was quiet when hearing Lan Mingxi's answer. Her expression sank as she took a deep breath because Fallen Orchid Sect and the remaining pure descendant of Lan Clan actually took a better turn.
They paid a sacrifice by erasing a lot of ancestry text and practicing the hideous Dou Qi Method, but they are a lot better than in the past.
'These two nieces are more sensible than those hateful elders.' Lan Rou thought while seizing Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi. Their cultivation is at the 5-Star Dou Ancestor Realm, which is not bad for people who cultivate Pure Orchid Body.
Tapping her finger on the table, Lan Rou makes the Fallen Orchid Sect's elders nervous.
She glanced at all of them and said, "Very well. I'll help the Fallen Orchid Sect the best I can."
"Even though my strength is only 2-Star Dou Emperor, strengthening the array defense around the mountain shouldn't be a problem."
"Thank you, Great Ancestor~!" The elders, grand elder, and sect master reacted happily upon hearing Lan Rou's words. They are on the verge of kneeling again.
Lan Rou snorted at their reaction and added, "Don't be too happy."
"Our enemy is two Half-Step Dou Venerate with a dozen Dou Ancestors, so calm your horse down."
As if a bucket of cold water was "abruptly." thrown on their face, the people from Fallen Orchid Sect shut their mouths.
"That matters aside if you want to revive the Yin Yang Orchid Clan. I advised you to relocate this sect somewhere, preferably close to the Black-Corner Region so that you could grow properly and hide from outsiders' greed."
"Why Black-Corner Region?" An elder raised his hand.
Lan Rou pointed her finger at Baek Ain and replied, "Because this guy is the big boss there."
Everyone looked at the white-looking young man beside Lan Rou, questioning his credibility and power.
Baek Ain could only laugh because his disguise was "actually." ruined a few days ago, which caused them to not recognize him as the White Fang of the Black-Corner Region or Blade God.
Even Lan Guan blushed when recalling the moment of Baek Ain's bareness.
Lan Rou rolled her eyes and said, "Don't look at my Ain like that... He's stronger than all of you combined."
"Eh?" They were shocked this time.
Baek Ain shrugged and sensed a spatial disturbance outside, giving Lan Rou a signal.
It was too late.
BOOOOOOOOM!!
A loud explosion noise alarmed everyone in the room.
"Invaders!" Lan Tianxue rose from her seat.
"Who is it?" Lan Mingxi tried to use her dou qi sense.
Baek Ain sighed and commented, "Han Feng and his henchmen."
"They are faster than I expected."
"I'll repel them out."
"Rou, fix the array." He continued while disappearing into thin air.
"Okay." Lan Rou nodded, believing in Baek Ain's ability.
Lan Tianxue is worried about this situation and asks, "Great Aunt. Is this okay? That acquaintance of yours is still young? Even though he was talented, Han Feng is even more powerful than me."
Lan Rou chuckled and answered, "Heh, Don't worry."
"My statement earlier is nothing but fact. And you know what?"
"My Ain is the Strongest."
