After Favorability Is Maxed

342 Little Phoenix Far below the Surface

The Jade Mirage Sect immediately fell into chaos.

When the people of the various sects informed their own sects, their influence expanded even further, and the entire Central Plains was in an uproar.

The last major event that shook the entire Central Plains was the appearance of an emissary from the Sea Slashing Tower.

Coincidentally, it also happened in the Jade Mirage Sect.

!!
At some point in time, the Jade Mirage Sect, which had always been known for its ‘purity’ and ‘peace’, had become the center of the storm and the focus of everyone’s attention.

However, the situation this time was more serious, and more people were paying attention to it.

After all, many Immortal cultivators did not have a clear concept of the Sea Slashing Tower, but the assassination of the Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect was something that even a seven or eight-year-old child would be shocked by. It was truly a shocking event.

This was the Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect, an existence at the Crossing Calamity stage!

Even though he wasn’t as dazzling as the previous Sect Master, Ding Luan, he was still the Master of the entire Jade Mirage Sect.

Who could assassinate a cultivator at the Crossing Calamity stage? And who was the mastermind behind this conspiracy?

For those who thought more deeply, this meant that the authority of the Jade Mirage Sect was being challenged. Perhaps it also meant that there would be a great storm of open and secret strife between the forces related to the Jade Mirage Sect!

At this moment, outside the Master’s bedroom of the Jade Mirage Sect.

A group of people gathered together and discussed the situation. Some were whispering, some were deep in thought, and some were silent.

When an Elder from the Scarlet Fire Palace opened the door and walked out, everyone turned their gazes over in unison.

“Sigh…”

The Elder let out a sigh.

Everyone’s nerves were immediately tensed up. The representatives of the various sects perked up their ears, and the eyes of the successive disciples of Danqing Palace were red.

“How’s the Sect Master’s condition?”

The Elders of Jade Mirage went up to ask anxiously, but it was hard to say how much of their true feelings were.

“Sigh, umm… well… sigh…”

The Elder of the Scarlet Fire Palace wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Everyone was on tenterhooks, but he did not say anything.

However, anyone with eyes could tell that the situation was not good.

Otherwise, why would he not even dare to say it?

The people from Pine Palace’s Law Enforcement Hall suddenly appeared and stopped the Scarlet Fire Palace Elder. They then dismissed all the people from the other sects and whispered to each other, their faces instantly sinking.

The representatives of the various sects who had been ‘driven’ out looked at each other and saw the words ‘something bad’ from each other’s expressions. They hurriedly bade farewell and went to send the news to their families.

As for the content, it was nothing more than ‘the sky of Jade Mirage is going to change’ and so on.

In the discussion hall of the Jade Mirage Sect.

The Danqing and Scarlet Fire Palace Masters, their Elders, and core disciples all stood in silence. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

When the Pine Palace Master entered, the atmosphere was broken.

Everyone’s gazes first fell on his tensed face, then on the broken sword in his hand.

It was a dagger-like short sword. It was pitch-black and exuded a frightening demonic Qi. What made people’s eyelids jump was the sword inscription carved on it.

Like a snake or fire, it drew out a green mark, and the sword shone with a faint light.

Bi Luo Mansion?!

“It’s actually… No, it’s indeed this group of evil people who only know how to kill!”

“Is there demonic Qi on this sword?”

“Damn it, these demons are using demonic Qi as weapons. Are they already under the control of the demons? That’s impossible. The Sea Slashing Tower has suppressed the Yonghui Sea for thousands of years, but there’s no news of demons. ”

“How is the Sect Master now?”

“Right now, the Jade Mirage Sect is facing internal and external problems. We can’t be without a commander!”

Hearing this, the Scarlet Fire Palace Master’s eyes flickered. He took a step forward, cleared his throat, and said loudly, “Everyone!”

His voice was filled with spiritual power, and it was like the sound of a large bell. It immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

He slowly walked up the steps and turned around with his hands behind his back. “I think that everyone is right. The Jade Mirage Sect can not be without a leader. The Sect Master is currently in a coma and is on the verge of death. He no longer has the ability to command internal and external affairs. Therefore, I would like to recommend the Vast Sea Palace Master to be the temporary Sect Master!”

The Danqing Palace’s disciples furrowed their brows when they heard this. They felt a wave of discomfort in their hearts. Now that Eldest Senior Sister was not around, Second Senior Brother Ling Deng had become their pillar of support.

They all looked at Ling Deng standing at the very front, but at this time, Ling Deng could only smile bitterly, indicating for them to be patient.

How could he not know Zhi Chunqiu’s wolf-like ambition… But now, it was clear that the other three palaces had already colluded with each other. Their Danqing Palace was weak on their own. Even if they raised an objection, it wouldn’t have the slightest effect. On the contrary, it would put their disciples in a disadvantageous position.

The Scarlet Fire Palace Master looked around, especially at the Danqing Palace, and said, “What is everyone’s opinion?”

He already knew that more than one-third of the people below were his own people. The rest were neutral, and the others had no ability to object.

The rest of the matter was natural. Zhi Chunqiu, who was still facing the wall and reflecting on his mistakes, was welcomed by everyone as the substitute Sect Master.

It had only been ten days since he had stepped down from a ‘prisoner’ to a dignified ‘substitute Sect Master’.

Zhi Chunqiu smiled as he walked past the people from Danqing Palace who were bowing to him. Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, he felt that the dream he had been dreaming for hundreds of years was right in front of him.

The first thing he did after he came out was to arrange the tablet-opening ceremony in advance. When the tablet-opening ceremony was completed, the word ‘substitute’ for the substitute Sect Master could be removed.

Ling Yu’s whereabouts were still unknown, Sheng’e was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The position of Sect Master was already in his bag.

As for the Bi Luo Mansion, he would use the excuse of revenge to eliminate it as well…

…

In the bedroom.

Sheng’e opened his eyes and slowly sat up, letting out a long sigh.

“I still have to act even though I’m old. It’s really difficult…”

“Master, I can see that you’re snickering,” Ling Hua said as she sat beside him.

“…”

He lay down again, turned around, and covered himself with the quilt, not saying a word.

Liu Yuan sat at the table, munching on an apple, and said leisurely, “Little Phoenix has met Yuan Hongling and the others. The Phoenix lineage is in trouble and as Divine Lord Vermillion Bird, she has no choice but to resolve it. She should be leaving for Fusang Sea soon.”

Ling Hua looked at him and suddenly asked curiously, “Why do you look so happy? Shouldn’t you feel disappointed that Ling Guang is leaving?”

That’s because you don’t understand my pain.

Although Senior Sister fully understood Liu Yuan’s lecherous side, she only knew things that were on the surface. The Little Phoenix was far below the surface in this aspect.

cough, cough. How can that be? although I’m a little reluctant, Sir God Vermillion Bird is very far away after all. I’m even happier that you’re by my side now and within my reach.

Liu Yuan reached out and held Ling Hua’s hand. He looked at her and squeezed his Senior sister’s soft and boneless hand.

Ling Hua’s ears immediately turned red.

“Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!”

The severely injured Sect Master Sheng’e suddenly coughed violently.

Liu Yuan continued to hold Eldest Senior sister’s hand and said as if nothing had happened. He said, “Now, all we need to do is wait. Zhi Chunqiu will send himself to his death.”
