Chapter 993: Chapter 992 Tidying Up the Aftermath
Upon hearing Sect Master Xiao’s words, the Third Elder remained silent for a while.
Then he smiled and said, “Sect Master, you are thinking too much.”
Sect Master Xiao raised his head and looked at the Third Elder.
“Regardless, he is still a disciple of our True Martial Holy Sect,” the Third Elder responded.
“You also said before that if he stayed in the sect, you would protect him.
Although we have not helped as thoroughly, it’s not like we did nothing.”
...
“I understand,” Sect Master Xiao nodded.
Then he asked again, “What reaction did the other elders have?”
“No reaction, very quiet,” the Third Elder chuckled.
“Quiet? I think they all are on tenterhooks,” Sect Master Xiao shook his head.
“They previously collaborated to oust Qing Shan from the position of Deputy Sect Master, now let’s see what they plan to do.”
At this point, Sect Master Xiao sighed, “I should et the ancestor and explain the situation.”
“Sect Master, in my opinion, the ancestor doesn’t want to interfere in this matter,” the Third Elder said.
“What do you an?” Sect Master Xiao was startled.
“The ancestor, although not appearing, but you and I both know, any slight movent within the sect cannot be hidden from our ancestors.”
The Third Elder responded, “But with such a big incident this ti, the ancestor has not shown up from the beginning to the end.
Think about it, is it that the ancestor doesn’t know, or doesn’t want to handle it?”
When the talk ca to this point, the Third Elder did not continue any further, already knowing in his heart.
“You see more clearly than I do,” Sect Master Xiao said with a bitter smile.
“It’s just that, being deeply involved, you are not aware of it,” the Third Elder shook his head.
“But it’s rare for you to be like this.”
“Then what do you think I should do?” Sect Master Xiao asked.
“Nothing needs to be done, or rather, the Sect Master doesn’t need to find Xu Zii, you could try finding the Deputy Sect Master,” the Third Elder analyzed.
“Given the current situation, no matter how well the sect does, for that young man, it’s just icing on the cake, and it’s already hard to offer tily help.
It might be better to start with the Deputy Sect Master; there could be unexpected effects.”
Hearing the Third Elder’s words, Sect Master Xiao nodded slightly.
Then he sighed lightly.
……
A group of people returned from the outside world to the sect.
At this mont, not only the entire True Martial Holy Sect, even the Eastern Continent was shaken by this.
It won’t take long for the entire Yuan Central Continent to know.
Xu Zii said to everyone, “I want to go back to rest. If there’s nothing important, try not to disturb .”
Everyone nodded.
They knew he was sowhat tired, or perhaps, it was the best rest before the struggle for Destiny.
Once back at Goose Southern Peak, Xu Zii took a hot bath and then lay on the old recliner.
Such a rest lasted for three days.
Even though these days, trendous changes were happening in the outside world, Goose Southern Peak remained peaceful, undisturbed at all.
On the fourth day, Lin Ruhu and Xiao Guizi ca looking for him.
“Zimo bro, people from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect have co,” Lin Ruhu said.
“Who are they?” Xu Zii slowly opened his eyes and yawned.
He was wearing a rather thin long-sleeved shirt.
Tyrant Shadow was placed aside, sowhat neglected these days, his hair a bit ssy.
“Those from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect who participated in the Baili Family’s Demonic Skills Convention, they all ca,” Xiao Guizi replied.
“There are also so who didn’t participate, but the forces that had declared their stance before have co to apologize.”
“What does the sect an?” Xu Zii asked.
“Sect Master Xiao asked for your opinion, everything will be based on you,” Lin Ruhu said.
“Let’s go and take a look,” Xu Zii waved his hand and stood up.
……
Inside the guest hall of True Martial Holy Sect, at this mont, many leaders from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect had gathered.
Sect Master Xiao did not show up and let the Great Elder handle them.
Any one of these leaders is a tyrant in their own right, their combined force could even make the Yuan Central Continent tremble.
But now, they are restless and as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.
If this matter is not resolved, they probably won’t even be able to sleep well.
“Young Master Xu,” upon seeing Xu Zii appear, everyone promptly stood up and greeted.
“You all arrived quite early,” Xu Zii smiled lightly.
He casually looked them over, Phoenix Ancient Country, Sword Spirit Country, Purgatory Holy Sect…, including so Imperial Rule Immortal Sect forces he had never t before, such as Long River Sect, White Concealnt Sect, Sword God Valley.
“Speak, your solutions,” replied Xu Zii.
The Heavenly Phoenix Empress from the Phoenix Ancient Country stood up first.
She waved her right hand, revealing three drops of blood in her white palm.
This blood was glamorously red, giving off the feeling as if an incomparable Monster Beast was brewing within.
As if the blood was alive.
The Heavenly Phoenix Empress said, “These three drops are the essence blood of the ancient phoenix, I am willing to offer them to Young Master Xu.
Besides, whatever else you need, Young Master Xu, feel free to ask.”
The ancient phoenix was a Divine Beast from the Mythical Era.
In this current era, ancient creatures have long been extinct.
Even the Wild Desolation Monster Beasts have nearly all perished.
This kind of essence blood of the ancient Monster Phoenix is of the type where if you use one drop, there’s one drop less, it cannot be regenerated.
Although to Xu Zii, it was just so-so, he understood that Phoenix Ancient Country had already made a significant sacrifice.
“Still not enough,” his right hand tapping on the table, he spoke indifferently.
“Bring out your ancestor’s Great Emperor’s True Artifacts, keep them sealed in the True Martial Holy Sect for thirty thousand years, and additionally, contribute no less than ten million Spirit Stones to True Martial Holy Sect every year.”
This was what Xu Zii could think of for the mont, as currently, these Imperial Rule Immortal Sects weren’t of much use to him.
The Heavenly Phoenix Empress’s expression changed slightly, she did not expect Xu Zii’s appetite to be so large.
Contributing every year, wouldn’t her own Phoenix Ancient Country beco a subordinate power of True Martial Holy Sect?
Several leaders from the other Imperial Rule Immortal Sects also showed subtle changes in their expressions.
“I’m not forcing you, it’s your own choice,” Xu Zii smiled.
“I am quite rciful.”
Xu Zii couldn’t be bothered to waste more ti with them and turned to leave with Xu Zii and Xiao Guizi.
“Great Elder, if they are unwilling, just see them out, no need to negotiate anything,”
Watching Xu Zii leave, everyone was stunned again, not expecting Xu Zii to leave so decisively, as if he truly didn’t care about this matter.
……
Upon reaching Azure Mountain Peak, his parents were also here.
“Dad, how have things been recently?” Xu Zii asked with a smile.
“My threshold at Azure Mountain Peak is almost worn out,” Xu Qingshan replied with a resigned smile.
“Those who previously drove away now one by one want to co back as the Deputy Sect Master.
And there’s also the matter with the Sect Master.”
“What’s with the Sect Master?”
“He seems to be considering abdicating.”
“What do you think?” Xu Zii asked.
“Not interested, being a Deputy Sect Master is tiring enough,” Xu Qingshan shook his head.
“That’s true, life seldom offers leisure,” Xu Zii smiled.
“What do you plan to do next?” Xu Qingshan asked.
