The usual news from the Eastern Territory reaches the Northern Territory a bit more slowly than it spreads within the Eastern Territory itself.
However, so major news that is shocking enough still spreads quickly.
At this mont, the Red Cloud Sect has many information docunts on recent Eastern affairs displayed on the sect leader’s desk.
The nurous events that have occurred in the Eastern Territory over the past month have drawn attention not only from the Eastern Territory but from all four regions of Xuanzhou.
A month ago, soone ascended to second place on the East Cang List!
Let alone second place, even reaching the top five would attract the attention of the other regions.
Since then, all the top forces from the four regions of Xuanzhou have been monitoring the various news coming from the Eastern Territory.
Soon after, the newly ranked young talent who took second place encountered a frightening assassination attempt that very night.
At that ti, many pieces of information were already laid out on the Red Cloud Sect’s desk.
Today, the news that a new top-ranked individual has erged on the East Cang List has sent shockwaves throughout the Northern Territory, and the Red Cloud Sect is no exception.
The Red Cloud Fairy, sitting behind the desk, finished reading a detailed account and introductions about the new top-ranked individual on the East Cang List, with a complex expression on her face.
Since learning that Lu Ye is the mysterious martial arts master in the Northern Territory, and later even rising to beco a Mortal Realm Grandmaster, even killing the Five Poison Sect Leader...
Given his previously assud identity of Chen Beixuan, there’s no way Red Cloud couldn’t be aware.
Yet... because of this awareness, seeing the currently shining Lu Ye, who has beco the foremost young individual across the Northern and Eastern Territories, and even throughout all of Xuanzhou...
The depth of regret within Red Cloud’s heart is like an unfathomable cold abyss.
Originally, this genius, who now shocks all of Xuanzhou... was a talent of the Red Cloud Sect!
Thinking of this, the Red Cloud Fairy’s face suddenly turned pale.
"Lu Ye... Lu Ye..."
Muttering this na, the Red Cloud Fairy was distracted, scenes of her past encounters with Lu Ye flashing through her mind.
Finally, after sitting in the main hall for a long ti, the Red Cloud Fairy slowly stood up, seeming a bit unsteady.
In her heart, she made a decision unexpected by the entire Red Cloud Sect...
When the Red Cloud Fairy arrived in the Sect Hall and sent out ssages to summon all the elders to the hall.
One by one, the elders received the ssage and arrived inside the hall.
After glancing around and seeing that most of the sect’s elders were present, the Red Cloud Fairy raised a hand, signaling for the currently whispering elders to stop.
"Today, I have gathered you all to announce sothing."
The expression of the Red Cloud Fairy was calm, as if she were discussing an insignificant matter.
However, the words that followed left the dozens of elders present dumbfounded, as if they heard sothing unbelievable.
"I have seriously contemplated for a long ti, given the current situation, I am no longer able to fulfill the duties of the Red Cloud Sect Leader, and thus... I have decided to resign from the position of sect leader and choose another virtuous and capable person to take over this role."
In an instant, the hall plunged into a silent atmosphere.
The gathered elders could hardly believe their ears, thinking they might have misheard.
After all, for decades, the position of Red Cloud Sect Leader had always been held by the Red Cloud Fairy.
And under her leadership, the Red Cloud Sect had also visibly improved, moving progressively along a path to prosperity.
Indeed, in recent months, small rumors had circulated, revealing that the famous Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Northern Territory seed to be a disciple from the Red Cloud Sect.
But most elders still supported the Red Cloud Fairy as the sect leader, as a temporary oversight could not undo the achievents accumulated over decades.
No one expected that the sect leader did call them together today to announce such a shocking ssage.
"Sect Leader... why would you do this? Today is not any special holiday, please do not use these jokes to amuse us old folks."
"Yes, Sect Leader, we old tirs have aged, you mustn’t joke with us like this."
A mont later, an elder was the first to speak with a smile, trying to break the heavy atmosphere with humor.
The Red Cloud Fairy shook her head: "Elder Qu, I am not joking, everything I said is what I truly feel."
"I have considered resigning as sect leader for quite so ti... In my current state, I am indeed not suitable to hold such a crucial position, so I ask the elders to continue safeguarding the Red Cloud Sect during my absence."
After saying this, the Red Cloud Fairy bowed deeply and left the hall gracefully.
The gathered elders stayed in the hall, looking at each other, still evidently stuck in disbelief at this shocking news.
Among the half-empty space were the last words of the departing Red Cloud Fairy...
"I believe that the Vice Sect Leader Qin Shuang is highly capable and suitable to take over as sect leader... Please have the elders earnestly discuss the selection of an appropriate candidate..."
...
Two hours later.
Compared to the current bustling Eastern Territory, a piece of news spread from the quiet Northern Territory that shocked countless cultivators in the Northern Territory.
At one of the top forces in the Northern Territory, the Red Cloud Sect, the Red Cloud Fairy, who held the position of sect leader for several decades... resolutely resigned as sect leader today!
When this news broke, there was an uproar across the Northern Territory.
The changes in and out of the Red Cloud Sect during the Red Cloud Fairy’s tenure were visible to many in the Northern Territory.
No one expected to hear about the Red Cloud Fairy’s voluntary resignation today.
"What exactly is going on? Why are there such major news events one after another recently, is there sothing I don’t know happening?"
"I do know a bit of inside information about this news, but I cannot guarantee the reliability of it."
Soone asked, "What news, tell us quickly."
The person continued, "I heard that the Red Cloud Sect previously had a disciple whose talents seed unremarkable, very ordinary and plain."
"But, unexpectedly, years later, that person suddenly grew into a renowned figure in the Northern Territory... and this person was personally sent by the Red Cloud Fairy to marry into another family."
"What... married in?!"
"You heard correctly, and because of marrying into that family, although the disciple is still nominally a mber of the Red Cloud Sect, in reality, they have little connection to the sect now."
"I don’t quite understand, how does this ordinary disciple relate to the Red Cloud Fairy’s resignation?" that person asked in confusion.
The informant continued, "Don’t worry, there is definitely a connection here. The person sent away has grown rapidly in these past years and has beco a top powerhouse, renowned in the Northern Territory!"
Renowned in the Northern Territory?!
"I don’t recall hearing about any new rising famous figures in recent years, you must be mistaken."
The informant mysteriously smiled and slowly said, "The person I’m about to ntion, if you haven’t heard of them, I’ll treat you to drink at the Drunken Land Building for three days and nights."
Listening, others were a bit excited, thinking it was a great offer.
But in the next mont, the informant spoke word by word, "Rumor has it, the disciple married out of the Red Cloud Sect is... the mysterious grandmaster who appeared in the Northern Territory earlier!!"
