At this mont, Qian Hua burst into Lin Feng’s room.
Qian Hua looked at Lin Feng in confusion and said, "Brother Lin, what’s wrong with you?"
At that mont, Lin Feng was focusing on his breathing control and couldn’t hear Qian Hua’s words.
Qian Hua, very anxious, quickly ran out to bring Liu Qian and the capable woman. As soon as the three entered the room, they imdiately helped Lin Feng to regulate the energy channels within his body.
While Lin Feng was adjusting his breath, his energy was on the brink of a rampage, which would have turned him into a mindless, crazed being. Fortunately, the capable woman used the secret techniques of Phoenix Cliff to assist, reversing and gradually calming the chaotic energy within Lin Feng.
The healing thods of Phoenix Cliff were indeed extraordinary; before long, Lin Feng had settled down.
However, once Lin Feng cald down, he fell into a coma.
When Lin Feng woke up, it was already the next day.
Just as the letter had said, the black-clad figures and the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect had engaged in fierce combat. At that mont, the bandits who had been lurking in the mountains for months also began their actions.
Like wrapping dumplings, the black-clad figures and bandits turned the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect upside-down. Fortunately, everyone was prepared and avoided extermination.
Unfortunately, the Soul Device of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect was stolen the previous night. The Acting Sect Leader of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect died in his study, with all treasures within his Ruins Tripod plundered, including the Soul Device.
At this mont, with the help of Liu Qian and the capable won from Phoenix Cliff, the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect managed to drive away all the intruding black-clad figures and bandits, and were now on high alert.
Since the Acting Sect Leader died in his study without any signs of struggle, Liu Qian suspected that soone from the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect itself committed the murder or soone the Acting Sect Leader knew. Subsequently, Liu Qian discovered a poison in the Acting Sect Leader’s teacup, a poison that grows in the Desolate Realm, unavailable in the Human Realm. This poison is colorless and tasteless, but if tested with spiritual power, it can be detected, yet the Acting Sect Leader didn’t test it, indicating he had complete trust in this person.
Liu Qian concluded that there was an inside traitor in the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect who poisoned the Sect Leader. Now, the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect was in a situation of investigating the traitor.
Lin Feng, having woken up by this ti, was assisting in treating the wounded and helping manage the affairs of the sect.
Moreover, the capable woman, with a keen mind, assigned two of her female disciples to diligently guard Lin Feng, ensuring the intruders did not harm the unconscious Lin Feng last night.
When Lin Feng woke up, two won sat beside his bed, looking dejected.
Lin Feng asked them what had happened the previous night, and the two won inford Lin Feng about his state of unconsciousness the night before. They ntioned that after he fell unconscious, a large group of intruders broke into the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, with many disciples sacrificing their lives, but ultimately everyone fought desperately to repel the intruders.
Lin Feng secretly sighed in regret, self-reproaching, "It’s all my fault for falling unconscious yesterday."
"Brother Lin, please don’t bla yourself too much. My master always says that everything in the world has its destined course. Yesterday’s events seed to be part of Taoxuan Heavenly Sect’s fate."
At that mont, a young man with a position within the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect ca in and handed Lin Feng a Spirit Pill.
"This is an Elixir crafted for you by the Acting Sect Leader yesterday; it was left in the study. I just found it earlier."
After taking the Spiritual dicine, Lin Feng indeed felt much more relieved.
"Thank you for your assistance, fellow Daoist."
Lin Feng thanked the visitor, who replied, "Not at all. If it weren’t for Brother Lin warning us about the black-clad figures joining with the mountain bandits to attack our sect, how could we have prepared in advance? Although we drove off the bandits, we didn’t expect the Acting Sect Leader to die in his study, explaining why we didn’t see him leading us last night. Were it not for Master Liu Qian and the won from Phoenix Cliff assisting us, our sect might have faced complete destruction."
After speaking, the young man shook his head and let out a few sighs.
Two days later.
The investigation into the murderer was still ongoing, but the vast Taoxuan Heavenly Sect couldn’t be left without a Sect Leader. Today was the day to select a new Sect Leader for the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect.
All the senior mbers capable of handling affairs were killed in the battle, leaving only two middle-aged Elders and the young man who had brought Lin Feng the dicine Pills earlier.
This young man was impressive and seed destined for great things. Furthermore, he had another identity: Liu Yun, the disciple of the respected Chang Xuan Lord of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect.
During his lifeti, the Chang Xuan Lord accepted only one disciple, taking in a talented disciple nad Liu Yun ten years ago. This disciple was a cultivation prodigy, with a striking appearance and inner-external excellence, earning the approval of his fellow seniors and the elders of the sect. Ten years ago, Liu Yun was ten years old, and two years later, during the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect’s decennial new disciple martial arts competition, he took first place, greatly pleasing the Chang Xuan Lord. Ever since, rumors circulated within the sect that Liu Yun was the rightful heir of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, designated for the Sect Leader’s position.
Now, with the Chang Xuan Lord sacrificing himself for the Righteous Path, his soul wandering in the celestial void, and the Acting Sect Leader sacrificing himself the night before, Liu Yun had the greatest opportunity to inherit the position of Sect Leader in this mont of extre crisis.
