The black smoke was pierced by the sword glare and slowly dissipated.
Thank you, Qin-zhenjun. Wei Tianli cupped his hands in a greeting. I wonder how Zhenjun discovered this person.
Qin Yanzhi, He leaked a trace of energy from his original body when he spoke and it was very similar to the trace we encountered on the journey.
Wei Tianli, Presumably because his cultivation base is not strong enough, but since he can control an Athyst Abode cultivator, this person should at least be at this stage too.
Qin Yanzhi nodded slightly but his gaze strayed to Jing Yue.
This young new patriarch was as calm as always when faced with the crisis, at least any other emotion was not apparent on the surface, which made him seem a little nave.
The other party seed to perceive his gaze, the corners of his lips turned upwards slightly when their visions collided, but quickly shifted again.
Jing Yue was heard asking, Do you know when the Athyst Abode cultivator is controlled by the people from Cadaver Gate?
I We dont know. The elder he has been acting quite normally
The respondent stamred, tongue in knots as if he was about to faint at any ti.
Everyone briefly considered this matter. The Spirit Possession technique of Cadaver Gate was very deceptive. How many major forces had suffered from it back then? This Athyst Abode cultivator ca from a small sect and the other mbers of the sect had not seen much of the world, so they were unlikely to find out much information from them.
Wei Tianli sighed and said, This happened because of Frostcloud Sect and youve been implicated. Well definitely compensate for your losses.
An Athyst Abode cultivator was a rare pillar of strength for any small clan. So people sympathized with their plights, but there were also so that thought sacrificing an Athyst Abode cultivator in exchange for the protection from Frostcloud Sect might also be a good turn of events.
The guests comnted, From what the demonic cultivator had ntioned, Blood Corpse-laomo seems to have regained his cultivation base. Theres another Return to Void cultivator within the ranks now, so I wonder if there will be any impact on the current situation?
Yes. There are even signs of demonic cultivators within the Evernorth region where Frostcloud Sect is seated, so I wonder if anything has happened to our area?
For a while, many people were unsettled.
Upon noticing this, Jing Yue stood up and said, The power still remains on the righteous path. Another Return to Void cultivator will not affect the general trend unless there is a change to the Heavenly Dao. Everyone need not worry too much.
Yi Ye imdiately agreed, ShiDi is right.
Liu Yun and Liu Feng, So true, so true.
Jing Yue,
Wei Tianli coughed drily. Laozu is right. Blood Corpse-laomo has just regained his Return to Void status, whereas we have several dozen on our side with three Tribulation Passage cultivators as our main support too. Otherwise, how could the demonic sects be willing to be confined within the West Shu region for ten thousand years? Blood Corpse-laomo didnt co here in person today, which ans hes still uncertain, so why should we be alard? As long as you step up your defenses, youll not suffer too much.
Everyone was flustered by the sudden turn of events, but after hearing Wei Tianlis explanation and advice, they had mostly cald down. No matter what they had planned in private, they had stopped discussing it at this mont.
Very soon, another school ca forward to present their gifts, and all sorts of heavenly and earthly items appeared, gradually diverting everyones attention.
The ceremony finally ended at noon.
All the sects and factions left one after another and Frostcloud Sect returned to tranquility.
Jing Yue delegated Wei Tianli to make arrangents for all the gifts he had received during the ceremony, only keeping for himself a sword capsule presented by Sword Inscription Sect.
As everyone in the cultivation world knew, there was a Sword Capsule Pond in Sword Inscription Sect that produced sword capsules with an innate spirituality. Any sword that was forged with a sword capsule infused in it had imnse growth potential. As long as suitable refining materials were found, there would be a great possibility to upgrade the sword into a precious artifact or even a celestial artifact.
Countless cultivators would not hesitate to spend their life savings just to procure a sword capsule and forge their natal swords with it.
The sword capsule in his hand was said to be a rare treasure conceived by the pond for ten thousand years and most suitable for a spiritual root of the water elent.
This valuable gift was a true sign of Sword Inscription Sects sincerity.
Jing Yue kept the sword capsule in the box and said, I t Qin Yanzhi today. He is indeed a very talented swordsman. If Yi Wang is still alive today, he might even be good friends with him.
Blue phoenix nodded placidly. Jing-jings words are reasonable. Qin Yanzhi is indeed a superb cannon fodder.
According to the plotline, even though he is cold and heartless, many female cultivators still throw themselves at him, one after another. But in his eyes, they are no different from a speck of dust or a blade of grass, and he has hurt the hearts of thousands of beauties.
At this ti, the protagonist will step forward and dazzle all the ladies with his radiance, knock Qin Yanzhi into the dust in full view, let him wallow in sha, and thousands of female cultivators will witness his most embarrassing mont!
Blue phoenix put its wings at the back and sighed deeply. At the end of the story, the female cultivators will realize that they have been blinded and they have t true love after that ordeal, oh no, they have t the protagonist.
Jing Yue, Maybe you should go down the mountain and continue reading porn.
Blue phoenix,
A few days later, when the red leaves from the West summit had covered the ground, the news suddenly ca from the sectthe inner gates would welco a new elder.
This news made many people nervous. All of them suspected that soone would pursue the matter after all.
Yu Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief instead. Since the ceremony, the fear in his heart had increased day by day, and he stayed behind closed doors all day long. Liang Yuan and Shi Nian had no idea what had happened to him. They saw no effect even after several thods of approach so they had no choice but to give up.
Now, what would co was finally here.
The next day morning, everyone from the inner gates, including wardens, enforcers, and disciples, were required to greet the new elder.
When they arrived at the Communication Hall, they saw Elder Ying, who was in charge of the inner gates, waiting at the entrance. Beside him stood a young man of eleven or twelve.
Many people were startled. This was the new patriarch, right?
During the ceremony that day, they stood too far away and could not see clearly, but looking at how Elder Ying treated the young man with the utmost respect, the answer was quite evident.
When everyone had taken their places, Elder Ying said, Im about to break through to the mid-level of Athyst Abode stage and need to practice in close ditation. He clasped his hands towards the young man beside him. This is the fourth patriarch of Frostcloud Sect. From this day forth, all affairs of the inner gates will be managed by the patriarch.
Elder Ying was a little embarrassed. Since he took over, he had not been very concerned about the affairs, which caused the inner gates to end up in turmoil now, and the patriarch had to deal with the aftermath. Although the hidden dangers within the factions had existed for a long ti, as the main person-in-charge of the inner gates, he could not shirk the responsibility.
He paused and added, It is your blessing to be taught by the Laozu himself. I hope you will cherish it.
Yes!
Everyone bowed in unison. The young patriarch stood up and calmly spoke, Although Im a new hand at managing the inner gates, Im not a newcor here. Several months ago, I assud the identity of Jing Shan and mingled within your ranks. Ive finally gotten a sense of the situation in the inner gates.
He admitted it! He admitted that he was Jing Shan!
Soone in the crowd fainted, and everyone saw that it was Long Ritian.
Several disciples beside Long Ritian wanted to laugh but dared not. Abruptly, Jing Yues expression beca serious. Although he was still quite young, his deanor was quite intense.
Starting today, anyone who participates in factional struggles and oppresses fellow disciples, regardless of whom they are or what their background, will be expelled from the sect and their cultivation will be eradicated.
As for those who participate in harming another disciple, the accomplices will suffer from the destruction of the spiritual root, whereas the main culprit Killed! Without! rcy!
The hall was reduced into a pin-drop silence and many people could not help swallowing a mouthful of spit.
Jing Yue said slowly, I have found out the truth behind Mu Fengs incident.
As soon as his voice fell, there were several loud thuds as many people fell on the ground.
This ti, however, no one had the urge to laugh
The plans youve made, how to cover up the truth if the plan failed, what benefits youve exchanged in private, and how are you going to fra , I know everything.
Every word from Jing Yues mouth was like a knife, piercing through the strong front of false disguise that so people had put up.
Please, Laozu, have rcy on us!
Laozu, we realize our mistakes!
Instantly, more than a dozen people knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for rcy.
Jing Yue turned a blind eye and continued, At that ti, however, the inner gates was chaotic and the forces were intertwined. Many disciples were unable to fight the general environnt and had no choice but to flow with it. Besides, Mu Feng has been cured and no irreparable losses suffered. Therefore, apart from those who are truly evil, Ill lighten the punishnt and give you another chance.
The blood that drained from Yu Xiaobaos face returned. He sighed deeply, relieved that his brother still had a chance to survive, and could not help but choke. Shi Nian, who stood next to him, glanced over several tis with scrutiny in his eyes.
Jing Yue huffed softly. If anyone dares to commit another offense, I wont show rcy again! Do you understand?!
We understand!
Very well. Thats the first point. Jing Yue smiled faintly, very satisfied with everyones acquiescence. Then lets talk about the second point.
Im sure everyone is aware that there are two missing wardens in the Law Enforcent Hall and the positions have not yet been filled, right?
After today, there will be fewer wardens. As core disciples, these people are supposed to assist in managing the inner gates. However, they didnt differentiate right from wrong, didnt understand the importance of prioritization, but succumbed to evil instead. To allow such people to hold critical positions is a disgrace to Frostcloud Sect indeed!
In order not to repeat the sa mistakes, I will reorganize the roles of various wardens and enforcers, and place everyone under a half-year probationary observation. After half a year, I will judge whether you are allowed to stay in office based on your performance. Even if you stay in office, there will be an assessnt every three years.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people exchanged furtive glances.
This new structure was extrely detrintal to the three existing factions. After all, the original positions were all held by the three major factions to seek more benefits, but now, everything would be under Jing Yues full control.
Since Jing Yue had ntioned that he would not pursue the previous affairs too much, one person got a little bolder and cautiously protested, Laozu, with all due respect, this arrangent is a bit too arbitrary.
Oh, youre right. Jing Yue nodded. If everyone followed the rules and toed the line, I will pass it to the disciples for judgnt in the next three years. As for now... I'm going to be so arbitrary.
But
No more buts, Jing Yue interrupted the other party directly. This is not a discussion. Im telling you about my decision. Those who disagree, get out of the inner gates!
