Hunyuan Heaven Sect's Sacred Guest Hall.
It was a hall dedicated to hosting the leaders of the Ten Great Sacred Sects.
At this moment, a figure walked out of the hall.
It was the new peak master disciple of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, Qinglan Peak master Nalan Fei.
However, even though Nalan Fei had left the hall, she clearly still hadn't completely returned to her senses. Her brows were tightly knit together as she considered her attitude when she mentioned Green Ruins to Lie Wuyang earlier.
Her reaction...
Wasn't it a little too intense?
Could it be that the relationship between Tsing Hui and Lie Wuyang was not unrequited love on the part of Tsing Hui, but a mutual affection between the two?
If this was the case, Tsing Hui might not be without hope.
With concern for Tsing Hui's marriage, Nalan Fei returned to Qinglan Peak.
A day passed by just like that.
The next morning, Qinglan Peak finally ushered in the crucial moment of the Peak Establishment Assembly.
Early in the morning, the entire Qinglan Peak was already filled with gongs and drums. They were fully prepared to welcome the guests who were about to visit. The entire Qinglan Peak was filled with colorful flags that fluttered in the wind. It looked very festive.
Princess Lan Yu and the others had long sought refuge with Nalan Fei's forces, the Nalan family's forces, and some small sects. In groups of three to five, they filled Qinglan Peak, causing it to be bustling with people and carriages.
Not long after, a sword light flew from the void and landed on the Qinglan Peak's welcoming square. It was the deputy sect master of the Green Lotus Sword Sect, Wen Hui.
Although Wen Hui came because of Tsing Hui's face, Nalan Fei, as the peak master, immediately welcomed Wen Hui into Qinglan Peak and arranged a seat for him.
Not long after Wen Huai's arrival, an elder of the Spirit Qi Unity stage represented the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's sect master, Zuo Kunlun, to present a congratulatory silk banner. However, this kind of silk banner was actually given to every peak master by Zuo Kunlun when they established their peak. Although everyone on Qinglan Peak was excited, they did not lose their composure.
From the very beginning, it was the deputy lord and the messenger of the lord. Such a good start made the people on Qinglan Peak look forward to the upcoming guests.
Princess Lan Yu, Zhuo Yunqing, and the others were gathered together, trying to figure out what kind of important guests would come today.
But obviously …
It was too early for them to rejoice.
With the arrival of these two people, Qinglan Peak suddenly became deserted. For half the morning, not a single guest came to congratulate them.
Not only that, as the actual auspicious day of the Founding Peak Assembly approached, although some true disciples who were on good terms with Nalan Fei came to congratulate her, they didn't come in person. Instead, they sent their subordinates and followers to present some congratulatory gifts. Most of them were just small fries.
The whole morning was quiet and could only be described as desolate. Everyone on Qinglan Peak could feel that something was wrong. Even the ordinary people, subordinates, and disciples on Qinglan Peak who did not know what was going on were whispering to each other, discussing if something had happened.
In the reception hall of Qinglan Peak, Nalan Fei glanced at the time and faintly couldn't sit still. At this time, another man of the Blood Changing stage came to congratulate her with a gift from a true disciple. She couldn't help but ask in a joking tone, "Didn't junior sister Peony say that she would definitely come today to congratulate me? I wonder what has delayed you? If there are any difficulties, you may as well tell me. If I can help you, I will not refuse. "
"This... senior sister Peony is really delayed by something and can't come in person to congratulate senior sister Nalan. I hope senior sister Nalan can forgive me."
The man of the Blood Changing stage bowed deeply, his attitude was extremely humble.
Seeing him like this, Nalan Fei couldn't say anything. She could only say, "Take a seat."
"This... I'm really sorry senior sister, I have to go back and report to senior sister Peony..."
Nalan Fei immediately waved her hand and said no more.
Tsing Hui, who was also sitting in the main guest seat, looked at the large banquet and wine that had been prepared, but now it seemed quite empty. He vaguely guessed something, but he still couldn't believe it.
After a while, Jing Yun, who had inquired about the news from outside, carefully came to Tsing Hui and Nalan Fei's side, and whispered, "Senior sister, Palace Master Tsing Hui, I have inquired clearly. The disciples who originally wanted to come to our Qinglan Peak to congratulate us suddenly changed their itinerary because of an important person's words. They did not dare to come again."
"Important person? Which important person? I have been in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect for so many years, and except for some grudges with the Sky Yuan peak master, I have not offended anyone. How could I be targeted by some important person? "
Nalan Fei was a little puzzled.
"It's Beishong Guang, right?"
Tsing Hui asked.
Jing Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded solemnly. "It is Beishong Guang."
"Beishong Guang!?"
Nalan Fei seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed slightly. She turned to Tsing Hui and asked, "Was it something that happened last night?"
"Arashi Yutō curried favor with Beishong Guang's younger brother, Beishong Hua. She wanted to use Beishong Guang's face to reconcile with me, but the negotiations fell through."
Tsing Hui explained briefly.
"Hmph, Arashi Yutō, that woman, has some ability, but does she think that we can't do anything to her just because she has Beishong Guang's support? Too naive! However, as the first deputy sect master of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, how could Beishong Guang be so ignorant? How could he offend Tsing Hui for a mere Arashi Yutō? Does he not know the power behind the Sea Calming Hall? "
"Heh … although the power behind the Sea Calming Hall isn't weak, Beishong Guang might not care about it. Perhaps in his eyes, the Life Moon Alliance is trying to curry favor with the Hunyuan Heaven Sect to avoid being attacked by the other sects because of the Life Moon Alliance's strength. We should be the ones begging the Hunyuan Heaven Sect …"
Qing Xu's lips curled into a sneer.
Lord Blood Dragon's Hall of Blood River and Lord Zhen Hai's Divine Court of Zhen Hai had failed to gain the support of the Ten Saint Sects after they had developed to a certain scale. Thus, they had been attacked by the experts sent by the Saint Sects.
In the eyes of most people in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, the Life Moon Alliance was similar to the Divine Sea Court and the Hall of Blood. At best, they were slightly stronger than the other two. Moreover, their alliance master was smarter and knew how to curry favor with the Hunyuan Heaven Sect.
Because of this, the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect felt a sense of superiority when they looked at the Life Moon Alliance.
But …
How could they know the Life Moon Alliance's true trump card?
If the ten great sects really dared to send experts overseas to deal with the Life Moon Alliance like they did to the Hall of Blood and the Divine Sea Court, the level 9 Saint Beast Hao You living in the Life Moon Alliance's territory would teach them how to behave.
"Tsing Hui, since this matter is related to Beishong Guang, we can't treat it lightly. Beishong Guang is the most promising deputy sect master and is ranked first among the many deputy sect masters. Even if his position as the future sect master has been severely challenged with the rise of Jie Xu, the forces he built up with the help of the reputation of the future sect master can't be underestimated. Jie Xu has already reached the Qingming Stage, so why hasn't the Hunyuan Heaven Sect announced him as the next sect master? It's because the power in Beishong Guang's hands is too strong. The sect master is worried that rashly announcing Jie Xu's appointment will cause dissatisfaction with Beishong Guang and lead to internal strife in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. "
"Beishong Guang has such a force?"
Tsing Hui was a little surprised.
"Absolutely! There are even rumors that Beishong Guang may have a Vision Saint stage expert under his command. Back then, when the competition between Beishong Guang and a deputy sect master was at its fiercest, a conflict broke out. But when both sides were about to suffer, the deputy sect master suddenly died. The Hunyuan Heaven Sect investigated and found that a Vision Saint stage expert killed him. Although the Hunyuan Heaven Sect didn't have any evidence and couldn't easily punish Beishong Guang, Beishong Guang became the biggest beneficiary at that time. It was by perfectly annexing the deputy sect master's forces that he soared into the sky and became the most promising deputy sect master to ascend the throne. "
Tsing Hui nodded.
If the peak master disciples of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect didn't have the support of important figures, how could they climb to the position of deputy sect master? Being able to become the first deputy sect master was itself a proof of ability. If Tsing Hui underestimated these deputy sect masters because of their apparent power, it would be a big mistake.
"Fortunately, Tsing Hui, your Sea Calming Hall is a little special. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the sect master, and even the supreme elders have to convene an elders meeting if they want to mobilize your Sea Calming Hall. Therefore, before Beishong Guang has something on you, he can't do anything to you, but you have to be careful in the future.
"I spend most of my time overseas. If Beishong Guang dares to go overseas to find trouble, I will let him know whose territory it is. But you..."
Tsing Hui glanced at the rather empty Qinglan Peak and said apologetically, "Because of me, I've brought you trouble."
"It's nothing."
Nalan Fei smiled. "As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Right now, because of Beishong Guang's words, these so-called friends have all avoided me. If something really happens in the future, how can I rely on them? Let me see their faces as soon as possible, so that I can understand who I can be close to and who I can't be close to, and avoid greater losses in the future. "
Tsing Hui nodded, his expression a little gloomy.
If Beishong Guang directly came for him, he wouldn't mind. After all, the two sides were ready for a conflict, but Beishong Guang didn't deal with him, and instead targeted Nalan Fei. This made him secretly angry.
First deputy sect master?
If I tear off your identity as the first deputy sect master, I'd like to see if you can still have such a huge influence.
Tsing Hui glanced at Nalan Fei...
Since Beishong Guang dared to involve Nalan Fei in dealing with him, then... the matter of stripping Beishong Guang of his identity as the first deputy sect master would be done by Nalan Fei.
"Don't worry, Beishong Guang, he won't be proud for long."
