He speculated that the Sect Leader borrowed his Floating Heavenly Palace, a matter deliberately leaked to target presumably Elder Zhuo Zhang, though he couldn’t quite fathom the exact reason. Yet, speaking of it, he obtained a True Artifact, so he didn’t suffer any loss.
Such matters, given his current shallow cultivation, he couldn’t yet participate in such complex sches. Overthinking was futile, thus he pondered briefly, then dismissed it with a laugh, invoked his mana, and swiftly returned to his Cave Mansion.
anwhile, atop a Kui Peak in Dragon Abyss Marsh, stood two people, one being True Master Qin, and the other was Elder Zhuo.
"Nephew Qin, today I presented the talisman token from my senior brother, thus fulfilling a past concern. I will soon enter seclusion, and thereafter, no one will be able to restrain Mo Bai anymore, take care of yourself."
True Master Qin was startled, "Uncle, you wouldn’t possibly..."
This elegant Daoist, with hands behind his back, gazed into the void, "Years ago, I could have broken the realm and left. The reason I stayed for over a century was my senior brother believed Nephew Mo Bai harbored grand plans. If he attained the Sect Leader position, he might take that step, leading Mingcang Sect to ruin. He tasked with holding the talisman token to obstruct him at critical monts. However, lately, I have sensed that if I wait longer, I might lose the chance to ascend forever. Success or failure is destiny; as I am about to leave, I will no longer manage you all."
True Master Qin was ntally agitated for a mont. Regarding this talisman token, she hadn’t known about it before. If she had earlier knowledge of it, she would have ticulously planned, rather than hastily asking this uncle to co forward.
Mingcang Sect, till her father’s generation, was at its peak. At least three had the potential for breakthrough ascension, with unmatched power, overshadowing even the Shaoqing Sect. Moreover, among the descendants, there were several outstanding individuals.
But for reasons unknown, her father didn’t specify who will succeed him as Sect Leader before ascending.
After he left, several disciples under him quarreled, causing turmoil for decades, yet they couldn’t select a Sect Leader.
Back then, the current Sect Leader Qin Mobai ranked last; among the senior brothers vying for position, he kept silent, causing everyone to underestimate him.
Yet, in the end, he cleverly allied with noble families, suppressing each brother—either imprisoning or expelling them—and seized the Sect Leader position.
Following this major upheaval within the sect, Mingcang Sect’s strength greatly diminished, even losing the nearby Three Pools Land.
Currently, the master-disciple line regained control, not only reclaiming the Three Pools but also the majority of Cave Heaven True Masters in the sect erged from the Sect Leader’s disciples. The only one who could check him was Elder Zhuo.
True Master Qin contemplated repeatedly, thinking the Sect Leader senior had long known about this talisman token, thus exploiting the Zhang Yan incident to deliberately lure her into asking this uncle.
Elder Zhuo harbored thoughts of leaving for a long ti but was hindered by promises from years before. Her invitation was just the right opportunity to settle the matter.
With this elder gone, no one would restrain Sect Leader Qin anymore.
Thinking of this, True Master Qin couldn’t help but bite her silver teeth, "Senior brother, you indeed plot excellently!"
