Chapter 1603 - 1437: Direct Rejection

Master also mentioned that the Unrivaled Alliance has repeatedly organized expeditions to explore barren civilizations, and the gains they acquired even surpass the martial arts resources of the Chaos Academy itself.

Historically, many of the Chaos Academy’s higher-ups were once members of the Unrivaled Alliance. Master almost joined the Unrivaled Alliance back then, but unfortunately, he missed it by a tiny bit, which is quite regretful.

To be honest, the invitation from the Unrivaled Alliance for Ye Tian to join, as a formal member, truly came as a surprise to Jun Susu.

Jun Susu’s usually beautiful face showed some seriousness: "Really?"

"Really, it was our Unrivaled Alliance’s Ninth Alliance Leader who sent me the Immortal Letter to invite Ye Tian," Hu Lingyu said, smiling, though she was secretly envious of Ye Tian.

This is equivalent to the Ninth Alliance Leader personally inviting Ye Tian!

The Unrivaled Alliance has nine alliance leaders, but she’s not sure who they are, she only knows the Ninth Alliance Leader because the Ninth Alliance Leader is also the current first in the Chaos Academy’s True List.

As for the other eight alliance leaders of the Unrivaled Alliance, they’re too mysterious, most were students from previous terms of the Chaos Academy, and some might have already spent countless years traveling and living in second-level civilizations.

Ye Tian is the first to have the Ninth Alliance Leader personally invite.

"Then please wait for a moment, Ye Tian is currently in seclusion for cultivation and cannot be disturbed. When his seclusion ends, you can talk to him personally," Jun Susu said, understanding that this was Ye Tian’s opportunity and she couldn’t interfere.

"Of course," Hu Lingyu nodded.

However.

At that moment.

Suddenly.

A voice came from inside the attic: "Miss Hu, I appreciate the gesture from both you and the Unrivaled Alliance, but for now, I don’t wish to join any factions, so please excuse me."

Ye Tian, although in seclusion for cultivation.

Still had a trace of his divine soul paying attention to everything around him, which was for his own safety considering the Heavenly Maiden was no longer by his side, so he needed to be cautious.

Thus, he was aware of everything happening in front of the attic, including conversations and events.

Regarding the invitation to the Unrivaled Alliance.

He didn’t even consider it before refusing.

Because joining a faction generally has two reasons: first, seeking protection and shelter from the faction, which Ye Tian does not need! Second, martial arts resources, which he lacks none. Even if exploring barren civilizations, he can do so on his own without needing companionship!

Hence, he refuses!!!

Ye Tian has refused...

Outside the attic.

Whoa.

The silence became almost tangible...

Everyone was petrified.

Mouths opened wide.

Whoa.

Ye Tian rejected becoming a formal member of the Unrivaled Alliance, something every student of Chaos Academy yearns for?

Is he crazy?

Joining the Unrivaled Alliance is like reaching the top in one step, isn’t it?

Joining the Unrivaled Alliance is nearly equivalent to stepping into a second-level civilization.

There simply isn’t any reason to refuse!

Even Jun Susu slightly frowned, wanting to explain the terror of the Unrivaled Alliance and the benefits of joining, she didn’t like Hu Lingyu, but didn’t want Ye Tian to miss out for no reason...

But before she could speak.

"Susu, there’s no need to persuade me, I understand, but still, please forgive me." Ye Tian directly blocked Jun Susu’s attempt to persuade him.

Hu Lingyu’s expression didn’t look very good.

She highly values the Unrivaled Alliance.

Takes pride in the Unrivaled Alliance.

And Ye Tian’s refusal!

Stirred a single thought in her mind――ungrateful.

Even the Ninth Alliance Leader personally invited you, and you... you put up this act? Are you crazy? Attention-seeking? Trying to be unique?????

She never thought Ye Tian would refuse; such a thing was supposedly impossible, but it happened.

And at this very moment.

"Young Master Ye, can you share your reasons for declining?" Suddenly, a voice echoed, appearing to come from between heaven and earth, or from the void, or perhaps from the depths of the soul, in any case, very strange.

Everyone in Chaos Academy heard it.

And then...

Every mind was explosively shocked————— Is it her??? The voice of the Unrivaled Alliance’s Ninth Alliance Leader?! Also the current first on the True Institute Ranking, Mengli Qingtan’s voice.

Mengli Qingtan!!!

Almost all Chaos Academy students had almost forgotten she existed because few in the entire academy had seen Mengli Qingtan in person.

Only some rumors exist.

Some say she is as beautiful as the nation and even more beautiful than the Moon Palace Fairy.

Some say she is an unparalleled evil, her martial arts reach the heavens, her power has already surpassed the level of Chaos Academy, even the academy’s higher-ups are not her match.

Some say she has successfully explored barren civilizations beyond and even become the Master of Civilization of those external realms.

Anyway, the rumors are vast.

These rumors are all extremely shocking, beyond thinking.

Yet unexpectedly...

The legendary Mengli Qingtan has returned?

Returned to the academy?

"Does the reason matter?" While all other students were dazed by the voice of ’Mengli Qingtan,’ Ye Tian spoke.

Not wanting to join simply means not wanting to join.

Is it so that someone must forcefully claim otherwise?

"Since Qing Tan took on the role of Ninth Alliance Leader, Young Master Ye is the first person formally invited to join the Unrivaled Alliance. If the invitation is unsuccessful, Qing Tan might be ridiculed by the other alliance leaders, as no alliance leader in the history of the Unrivaled Alliance has ever had their personal invitation rejected." Mengli Qingtan spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness, misunderstanding, and annoyance.

"Who ridicules the Ninth Alliance Leader is the Ninth Leader’s own business, I’ve already refused." Ye Tian seemed a bit annoyed, why wasn’t one allowed to refuse?
