PDLP Chapter 323 Guiyuan Sect 23
Chapter 323 Guiyuan Sect 23
"You bastard, this is ridiculous. Do you think you're doing a great job? Just now, at least your Grandmaster Medicine Master in the hall could tell!"
The sect leader glared at his unruly disciple below and paced back and forth in the hall.
"I knew I didn't act very well." Qin Che touched his head and felt relieved. It seemed that it wasn't that the pills that Junior Sister Cheng Jiu took out were bad, otherwise Junior Sister Cheng Jiu would be so sad if she knew!
But did Senior Brother Qin ever consider that Cheng Jiu never intended to keep it a secret from everyone in the hall from the very beginning?
What kind of power does she possess to be able to deceive all the elders, including the Great Ascension Immortal Lord, in full view of everyone? If it really works, her Disguise Pill will become famous throughout the cultivation world.
Although Cheng Jiu didn't know what had happened in the Sect Master's Hall, it was nothing more than Lan Qiuze and his senior brother's affair. Given Lan Qiuze's situation, the elders' actions were simply too much!
On a small scale, it's a power struggle; on a larger scale, it's a division! If her master hadn't arrived in time, who would have paid for the consequences?
Anyway, Cheng Jiu was very unhappy about being dragged into the struggle between the two sides and becoming cannon fodder!
This is also why Immortal Lord Qingxu told Cheng Jiu that he had his back. If the sect leader hadn't classified this matter as an internal affair of the sect leader's peak, with Qin Che and Nan Yanzhe present, the sect leader wouldn't have let the other party off so easily.
He will definitely come knocking on their door. As a Mahayana Immortal Lord, he doesn't care about power struggles. Right now, it's just a conflict between disciples. If the elders get involved, then it will be a conversation between the masters!
Therefore, Cheng Jiu was betting that the Immortal Lords who could see through him wouldn't expose him, and as for the Dao Lords at the Integration Realm...
The sect leader is simply very familiar with his disciples, and Qin Che's acting skills are not very good. Some small habits of his betrayed him completely. Also, could you not get so excited when talking about Elder Quan Gong's disciples being beaten?
"His behavior before and after is so inconsistent, okay?" the sect leader complained. At least he believed that his junior brother Zhenfeng and junior sister Lefeng should have noticed it.
Actually, no!
The peak master of Zhenfeng, sitting on his mount, felt something was amiss and looked at his companions: "Do you think there's something wrong with that disciple?"
The Sword Peak Master was slightly taken aback, scanning him up and down: "It really is, just like your master. I wonder where you put all your effort into array formations!"
As he spoke, he urged the sword to fly swiftly towards the sword peak and quickly disappeared from sight!
Although the Guiyuan Sect forbids flying swords, the peak master of Sword Peak is riding a spirit beast.
Of course, there wasn't one in the Xuan Tian Continent. This was specially captured by the disciple of the Sword Peak Master as a tribute to him, and he liked it very much at first sight.
"I knew it." Peak Master Zhenfeng said smugly, then suddenly realized, "He...he, was he calling me brainless?"
The peak master of Lefeng next to him burst out laughing. Junior Brother Zhenfeng was always like this. His IQ dropped when he met Uncle Jianfeng, and Uncle Jianfeng always liked to tease him!
"Junior sister! Tell me!" Peak Master of the Formation Peak also heard Qiao Yanran beside him, her ears turning red, and she asked with a hint of grievance.
"I...I don't know! Oh dear! I remember that Xiao Jinsu from the Qingliu family also participated in this mission. It's so dangerous, I have to go and see if they've been frightened!"
Peak Master Lefeng pretended to be oblivious; she wasn't going to get involved in their affairs. She made an excuse and slipped away.
Before the Peak Master of the Formation Peak could even ask the other Peak Master of the Medicine Peak who was traveling with him, the Peak Master of the Medicine Peak seemed to have been startled awake from a nap on the giant tortoise. Before he could even speak, the tortoise was urging the giant tortoise to run at lightning speed, showing no signs of clumsiness whatsoever.
"Master, Uncle-Master!" The Peak Master of the Formation Peak didn't have time to stop him. He felt inexplicably stifled, looked around, and found no one there. He could only return to the peak somewhat desolately.
The sect leader glared at his disciple: "Aren't you quite smug?"
This little rascal doesn't know he's wrong at all.
"With so many elders and peak masters present, is this a place where you can run wild? You've made such a scene; I've really spoiled you."
Seeing his master's face darken, Qin Che belatedly realized something was wrong. However, having been able to act arrogantly and domineeringly on the sect's main peak for so many years, Qin Che had his own abilities. Although his master was very angry, he keenly sensed that he wasn't as angry as he appeared.
"I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong." Qin Che promptly slid to his knees to apologize, his voice trembling with apology, "Master, I didn't mess anything up, did I?"
"Now you know fear." Seeing his disciple admit his mistake, the sect leader sat back in the most important seat and took a sip of tea. "Are your senior brothers and sisters alright?"
"He shouldn't be dead!" Qin Che's tone was somewhat guilty, as he couldn't bring himself to say that the other party was alright.
The main problem is that the disciples of those leading elders basically all take the pills from the eighteenth senior brother of Medicine Peak. Chang Yue holds a grudge and made a blacklist of them long ago. Although it was ostensibly a lottery, these disciples were actually manipulated behind the scenes.
The sect leader, oblivious to Qin Che's clever trick, asked, "Where's your senior brother? Has he pulled himself together yet?"
"Thanks to Second Senior Sister! Senior Brother is alright now!" Qin Che hurriedly ran behind the Sect Master and earnestly massaged his master's shoulders: "Master, what happened?"
Qin Che sensed something was off as soon as he entered the hall, but he was so engrossed in his art that he didn't pay much attention. However, he immediately felt something was amiss when he heard his master speaking.
The sect leader, enjoying his little disciple's attentiveness, narrowed his eyes: "It's nothing serious. Your second senior sister has performed exceptionally well, and they've taken a liking to her!"
The sect leader could easily see through the elders' thoughts. Apart from Elder Jiefeng, who was a staunch advocate of the common people, the other elders each had their own calculations.
Nan Yanzhe has always performed exceptionally well, but he was personally trained by the sect leader, which does not align with the interests of these elders.
That child was so genuine!
They wanted to groom a "new king." In fact, this had already been evident before, with his second disciple catching their eye.
This gave them an opportunity to sow discord, and Elder Jie Feng seized upon Nan Yanzhe's weakness regarding his background.
It's likely that Qin Che's actions were tinged with scheming from the moment he accepted the mission, using Qin Che, the sect leader's junior disciple, as a pretext to target Nan Yanzhe.
Unexpectedly, the trap they had set was too big, and it backfired on them!
Nan Yanzhe's background is indeed a drawback, but the previous senior brother also came from a family.
As long as the sect leader is not weak, his background is not a major flaw!
He was appointed temporarily. When his master was in charge, he thoroughly investigated the entire peak, so he didn't believe that the current elder in charge of the sect would care about such a trivial matter as one's background.
As for Elder Jiefeng, he did know that many elders on the main peak who were in seclusion were indifferent to the eldest disciple who came from a family, but when his master was alive, Elder Jiefeng and his master had a really good relationship.
In some matters concerning the main peak, his master would take the initiative to discuss with Elder Jiefeng. When he took over, Elder Jiefeng did indeed go into seclusion. How could he have known that Elder Jiefeng actually supported commoner disciples?
Nan Yanzhe's cultivation level was insufficient, and there were only a few elders who could suppress the other elders when he was not around.
He didn't want to cause trouble for his disciple, so he eliminated several elders who might not cooperate. It was a very careful selection process that led him to Elder Jie Feng.
result……
The sect leader sighed: "I will stay in the sect from now on. Tell your senior brother to cultivate diligently, and we must win a Star Domain quota in the sect competition!"
"Master, are you going to give up on Senior Brother?" Qin Che's voice trembled as he asked.
His master had never been so diligent!
"Ouch!"
Qin Che covered his head, looking aggrieved. Why did you hit him? Did he say something wrong?
"Idiot! Forget it, you've arrived just in time, so there's no need to keep arguing with those elders about your identity."
Everything we've discussed boils down to your senior brother's insufficient cultivation. With his talent, he'd be a prodigy anywhere. If he were to go to the Star Domain again, even if he didn't break through to the Dao Integration Realm, just a slight breakthrough in his cultivation would make his future limitless.
Which sect would be eager to offend such a disciple with limitless potential?
The sect leader withdrew his slapping hand. Indeed, the sect leader had access to a great deal of resources. What they were worried about was that some families would use the sect leader's name to seize the resources of the Guiyuan Sect.
But what if his disciple has the potential to reach the Mahayana stage? A sure thing for him to reach the Mahayana stage, what are those resources?
Exchanging a few resources for a Mahayana stage is a win-win situation. Why would we give up a Mahayana stage to someone else just for those few resources?
The sect leader huffed, "One day I'll show those old fogies how important a qualified successor is compared to lineage!"
Background, background—frankly, those elders are just wasting their time. They'd be better off focusing on cultivation, improving their skills, and contributing to the Guiyuan Sect.
In fact, Guiyuan Sect also treated those elders in the same way.
Attacking someone's background only works on weak and incompetent sect leaders; he has plenty of other methods!
"Senior sister, move aside!"
In the corridor of the sect leader's hall, the sect leader's disciples crowded together, trying to eavesdrop on something.
The palace doors were tightly shut, and not a sound could be heard. It was the skill of these sect leaders' disciples to be able to eavesdrop on the movements inside the palace.
The disciple guarding the pillars felt a twitch in the corner of his eye. It wasn't that he hadn't seen these sect leaders' disciples before, but he hadn't expected them to be so abstract!
The third disciple yawned gracefully, not joining his senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters to lean against the pillars and doze off, completely disregarding the life or death of the pillar disciples who stood as straight as upright pillars.
The disciple guarded by him against the pillar almost held his breath, trying to increase the distance. Some were on the verge of tears. There were so many empty pillars over there, why did he have to squeeze in with him?
The fact that he could drag someone out to beat someone up, despite his usual love of sleeping, was purely out of brotherly affection.
Yingyue looked at the tightly closed main hall with some worry: "Senior Brother Qin, he hasn't come out for so long, I hope nothing's wrong!"
Huo Yan's eyes flashed with worry, but he still shook his head firmly: "No, greetings, Sect Master!"
"My identity has definitely been discovered!" Cheng Jiu lamented, although at the time, there was indeed a sense of "better to sacrifice a friend than myself" when he brought up Qin Che.
But when it really came down to it, they still couldn't abandon each other and leave; they were still very loyal!
"I wonder what Senior Sister Chang Yue heard that made her look so pale!"
Wen Sishu glanced at Chang Yue's expression, which was filled with grief and indignation as she scratched her head and cheeks!
"Damn it! A sect leader who works year-round without a break? Let whoever wants the job do it! I don't have that kind of ambition!"
Chang Yue's tone was filled with grief and indignation, and full of resistance: "Are those elders crazy? What did I do to offend them?!"
The third disciple slightly raised his eyelids: "Perhaps this is what they're thinking!"
In his opinion, his master was too lax. Having had enough of the good life under his master, who would want to go back to the past?
His senior brother is good at everything, but his ambition is something his master can't match!
If he were under his senior brother's command, he wouldn't be living such a comfortable life now.
Chang Yue: "..."
Chang Yue glared fiercely at her third junior brother: "If I take over, I'll make you take the position!"
"I'm sick!"
Chang Yue looked her third junior brother up and down, which only made the other man bristle: "I think with your smart brain, third junior brother, you could manage the sect perfectly well if you worked for three days and slept for three days!"
Third disciple: "..."
The third disciple was startled awake from her slumber, staring wide-eyed at her second senior sister in disbelief: "Are you a devil?"
"Hmph! Let's do it this way." Chang Yue revealed a malicious smile and whispered like a devil, "If I take the throne, you won't be able to escape, Third Junior Brother. I will haunt you forever!"
He admired the startled look on his usually indifferent third junior brother's face.
