At this juncture, he was also willing to take a gamble.

Saint Zhunti's face revealed a barely perceptible smile, as he gently swept his hand, and an antique tea table appeared between him and Yu Yuan, complete with all the necessary tea utensils and lightly steaming tea in the pot.

He poured two cups of tea, handed one to Yu Yuan, and also picked up one to savor it carefully.

Yu Yuan glanced at his cup and noticed a blooming lotus inside, which was very beautiful.

He raised his teacup and took a sip, immediately feeling a cool taste and a faint aroma that invigorated the spirit.

"This is our Western Sect's Bitter Lotus Tea. Can you get used to it, young friend?"

Saint Zhunti asked with a smile.

"The taste is sweet and fragrant, lingering on the lips and teeth, truly a rare fine tea," Yu Yuan sincerely exclaimed.

Under the influence of the Reverse Action, the warm bitter tea became sweet and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression.

The smile on Saint Zhunti's face grew thicker.

"If you like it, take some with you for leisurely enjoyment later."

Saying this, he gently waved his hand, and a delicate porcelain jar appeared in front of Yu Yuan.

"Thank you for the tea, Saint."

Yu Yuan stood up and respectfully thanked him, then took the porcelain jar, and spoke earnestly: "I wonder what teachings Saint has for bringing me to the Pure Land this time?"

"Think nothing of it, young friend," Saint Zhunti smiled. "I merely saw that my brother Heavenly Master no longer seemed himself, and thus I brought you to the Pure Land for a respite, harboring no ill intentions towards you.

Of course, if you trust me enough, you can also share what you know with me, perhaps I can be of help to you."

"Grateful for the Saint's compassion," Yu Yuan thanked him, his mind racing and eventually deciding to reveal some information to Saint Zhunti. He only mentioned that after Heavenly Master's visit to the Outer Heaven Chaos, the evil corpse that should have dissipated suddenly reappeared and even gained the upper hand, but he withheld the crucial information about the "Fallen Saint Pill."

After listening to Yu Yuan's words, Saint Zhunti slightly nodded and said indifferently, "It seems that something unusual has indeed happened to brother Heavenly Master, perhaps something special occurred in the Outer Heaven Chaos."

After a pause, he looked at Yu Yuan and said: "You can rest assured, young friend, you can stay in this Pure Land until the problem is resolved. Of course, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, no one will stop you.

The doors of the Western Sect will always be open for you, feel free to come and go as you wish."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan felt even more peculiar.

From what he knew, although Saint Zhunti always appeared merciful, his methods behind the scenes were layered and decisive, never softening when harsh actions were needed.

Yet, this Saint continuously showed goodwill towards him, which made him very curious.

"Thank you for your kindness, Saint!"

Yu Yuan respectfully bowed.

Regardless of Saint Zhunti's intentions, his actions were indeed very favorable for Yu Yuan at the moment.

At least in this Pure Land, he did not have to worry about Sect Hierarch Heavenly Master chasing him down.

Hmm... perhaps he won't be pursued here?

Inside the Pure Land, there were two Saints. If Sect Hierarch Heavenly Master were to come alone, he would likely be at a disadvantage.

Unless the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation is set up!

But the problem is that this Pure Land is the territory of the Western Sect.

Setting up the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation on their territory would be somewhat bullying!

Yu Yuan finished his tea and then followed a young Daoist boy to Treasure Hall to rest as arranged by Saint Zhunti.

Shortly after his departure, a twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus rose from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

As the Golden Lotus bloomed, the gaunt and troubled Guide Daoist appeared.

He sat cross-legged where Yu Yuan had sat earlier, looking somberly at Saint Zhunti and said:

"That Yu Yuan has slain our Sect's Dharma Protector, why would you still keep him, younger brother?"

"Vina Night has already fallen; elder brother, why cling to the past instead of looking to the future?" Saint Zhunti poured a cup of tea for the Guide Saint and spoke lightly.

Guide Saint's expression shifted slightly, a bit puzzled, "Could it be, younger brother, that you can see into the future?"

Saint Zhunti shook his head, "If elder brother can't, neither can I."

"Then why do you value this Yu Yuan so much?" Guide Saint asked, puzzled as he looked at Saint Zhunti, "Previously, you wanted to recruit him to our Western Sect, which was somewhat justifiable. But now that Zixiao Palace has decreed that he is a demon from beyond our realm, and even his own grandmaster wants to swiftly eliminate him, why do you still bring him to the Pure Land?"

"It is precisely because everyone now sees him as a demon from beyond that I value him more!" Saint Zhunti spoke calmly: "This way, we can forge a good karma."

Guide Saint naturally understood his意思.

Adding flowers to brocade is never as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather.

But the issue here is, they are Saints!

Do they need to be sending charcoal in snowy weather to forge good karma?

Moreover, this Yu Yuan is a demon being pursued by his grandmaster, Sect Hierarch Heavenly Master, and even Yuanshi Tianzun of Chan Sect has repeatedly expressed intentions to slay him, even Zixiao Palace has issued a decree to execute him on sight!

Now if the Western Sect shelters him, they are not just offending Sect Hierarch Heavenly Master, or offending Yuanshi Tianzun; it's akin to defying the decree of Zixiao Palace!

With this in mind, after a moment of silence, Guide Saint looked earnestly at Saint Zhunti and said: "Brother, your actions may bring calamity upon our Western Sect."
