Heaven, Earth, Me 4 (GL)

Chapter 713. Returning to the sect.

Once Yasenia returned to her sect, she was welcomed by the top figures, which consisted of the Sky and Astral elders. While there were supreme elders, all of them were from the maid groups.

Naturally, the news of what she did at the exit of the secret realm had already spread and reached the ears of these people, which explained their anxious expressions as they looked at her.

Other than them, Tengliu, Coraline, Wuria, and Gireila were also with them, accompanied by their respective entourages of top-level powerhouses.

Yasenia knew what they were worrying about but acted calm and ignorant of the situation. The maids and the rest of the people flew out of the warship, and Yasenia stored it back in her spatial ring.

"It is a pleasure to be welcomed by the elders and the Matriarchs."

During the last five and a half years, the number of experts entering her sect had been significant, so many top-rank experts were not related to any of the four primary races supporting her, meaning Lamia, Ember Phoenix, Harpy, and Lobster.

One Astral Elder, a dragon-kin that Yasenia's charisma had attracted into the sect, asked with a stern tone. "Sect Master, I understand that we need to appear strong. However, isn't it too much to go against the top powers of the Continent? What will you do if they band together and siege the sect?"

Yasenia was about to rush to meet Kaleina, but his words stopped her, annoying her. She took a deep breath and relaxed her expression, looking at him. "Are you saying that I should give up our treasures?"

The man nodded without a shred of doubt. "Different situations call for different solutions. Why would you prioritize treasures over the security of the entire sect? Even if you have the treasures, without a sect, they are meaningless."

Yasenia landed at the sect's entrance, her beautiful dress flowing behind her like clouds.

Looking around the nearly 190 Epoch Core people, she asked. "Who else thinks similarly to this elder?"

About eighteen people took a step forward and began speaking.

A middle-aged woman with wings spoke softly. "Sect Master, you are young, so you might not know. However, the number of powerhouses you saw today in the Secret Realm's entrance is just a small part of what each of those powers has."

Yasenia's age has already spread around, and people knew that she was younger than a century. The reason this information was known was to attract people with her potential and also not to be mistaken by a talentless cultivator.

After all, in their eyes, a cultivator with less than a century reaching the initial realms of the Epoch Core realm was nothing but a genius that appeared only once every millennium. However, if she were old and only at the initial levels of the Epoch Core realm, it would affect her reputation. Remember that this information would've been uncovered just by being able to enter the Secret Realm.

However, while there were many benefits, the backlash of revealing this information is that many of the previously respectful elders looked at her as a more immature and rasher person, even when her decision-making had not only been maintained but also improved as her understanding of the Distancia Continent increased.

Yasenia looked at the eighteen people who stepped forward, speaking like seniors toward a junior while listing who knows how many reasons to tell her that her actions were "rash" and "thoughtless" and sneered inwardly.

"I understand your fears, but the Wolf Patriarch was already targeting us. I wanted to provoke him to action so that he could be killed during the conflict, leaving other powers with no reason to refute or criticize my actions. However, his patience was commendable, and he managed to swallow the insults. This doesn't mean anything, though, as we will eventually start a War with them."
