Chapter 336: The Dream of a Thousand Fairies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Spring passed and summer came. Unknowingly, it was midsummer.
The weather became hot.
The cicadas outside the window were chirping, and the people inside the window went crazy.
Heaven Earth Sect, sect meeting room.
As the Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue was sitting at the same table as the higher-ups of the sect and the three representatives of the Xuanhuang Sect, discussing the merger of the two sects.
The three representatives of the Xuanhuang Sect were all Nascent Soul Elders who had not participated in the attack on the Heaven Earth Sect previously and were against it.
That was why they were qualified to participate in this meeting as representatives of the Xuanhuang Sect.
However, they were only here as participants. They had no right to express their opinions. They could only be present as witnesses.
This meeting was mainly a discussion within the Heaven Earth Sect.
There were two factions in the discussion.
On one side was the new student faction led by Xiao Qingyue and formed by the elders of the various halls.
On the other side was led by the Great Elder and a few core elders who had survived.
Because there were too many casualties during the war between the two sects, there were only three people left in the core Nine Elders.
They were the Great Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Eighth Elder.
As for the other six core elders, they had already died.
Other than the Ninth Elder, the other five had all died at Cao Dian’s hands.
As for the Ninth Elder, he died after the battle because of Chen An’s revenge. He was cursed to death by Chen An.
Although there were only three people left in the Elder Sect, the remaining three were all in the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation realm. Their overall strength was not inferior to Xiao Qingyue’s faction.
In fact, they might even be stronger.
“Qingyue, you’re not qualified enough. It’s very difficult for you to control the overall situation after the two sects merge. It’s more suitable for me to be the Sect Master after the combined sect.”
“After all, many higher-ups of the Xuanhuang Sect are familiar with me. In the future, 1’11 be the Sect Master and be in charge of the sect’s affairs. That way, we can reduce many potential disputes.”
“After the sect stabilizes, I’ll give up the position of Sect Master to you. In the future, the sect will still belong to your younger generation.”
The Great Elder looked at Xiao Qingyue opposite him, his old face filled with kindness.
In the past, a veteran like him who was about to die could not be bothered to interfere in the sect’s matters.
He would only hide in his cave abode and cultivate in seclusion, seeking to break through his cultivation and extend his lifespan.
But it was different now.
After the two sects merged, the Sect Master could control the two tokens, Heaven and Earth and Xuanhuang. He could use them to open the treasures of the ancient Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Sect and obtain the treasures and inheritances inside.
Facing such a huge benefit, it was impossible not to fight for it.
Xiao Qingyue knew very well that the three old fellows in front of her were coveting the legacy treasures.
However, she could not give up the position of Sect Master after the two sects merged.
Strictly speaking, the position of Sect Master belonged to Chen An.
And she was just a puppet Sect Master supported by Chen An.
As a puppet, she had no right to decide at all.
Because of this, Xiao Qingyue chose to directly pierce through this layer of paper and lay her cards on the table.
“Great Elder, there are some things that we can talk about openly.”
“You make it sound so nice. Actually, it’s nothing more than coveting the treasure of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Sect and wanting to use it to obtain the opportunity to break through.”
“Unfortunately, that’s not possible.”
“However, as compensation, I can try to help the three of you break through to the Soul Formation Realm.”
In order to convince the three elders to give up on coveting the treasure, Xiao Qingyue made this condition on her own.
She believed that Chen An would agree. If Chen An did not agree, she would not be the puppet Sect Master.
Whoever wanted to be it could go.
After all, a puppet that did not even have the right to make a decision on its own shook its head.
“Qingyue, since you’ve put this matter on the table, I won’t beat around the bush with you.”
“In the war between the two sects, us elders have contributed so much. We’re either dead or injured. Is this how you treat us?”
“Everyone knows how valuable the treasure of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Sect is. Isn’t it too much for you to want to monopolize it like this?”
The Great Elder said unhappily.
The Fourth Elder was also dissatisfied. “Qingyue, you’re so greedy. If your Uncles who died in the war between the two sects knew about this in the netherworld, they wouldn’t let you off even if they were afraid of death.”
The Eighth Elder also opened his mouth to exert pressure on her. “Qingyue, don’t disappoint us elders.”
Facing the moral coercion of the three core elders, Xiao Qingyue did not say anything. She only glanced at the elder of the Hundred Herb Hall beside her.
The elder of the Hundred Herb Hall immediately understood and retorted the three core elders on the spot. His tone was extremely disdainful.
“Heh, the three of you are taking advantage of your seniority. You make it sound good!”
“If you hadn’t coveted that treasure and rashly attacked the Xuanhuang Sect, would we have suffered such heavy casualties?”
“Also, once you fell into a disadvantageous position in the battle, you so-called Elders had either escape or surrender. You still have the cheek to show off your contributions?”
“This war between the two sects was settled by the Sect Master alone!”
“Therefore, the Sect Master can distribute the treasure however she wants. It’s not your turn to take a share!”
The elders of the Hundred Herb Hall vividly saw the words “lackey” in her faction. They spoke nonsense to the three core elders and loyally resolved the troubles of their superior, Xiao Qingyue.
The Great Elder and the others’ faces turned pale as they felt their faces burn..
