"Hand over your detailed plan for the future of the Hidden Sword Sect and I will consider it."
Tsing Hui said.
It was obviously impossible for him to directly agree to Zhou Cunyu's request. After all, the Hidden Sword Sect was established by the Hidden Sword Honorable. Even if the Hidden Sword Honorable thought highly of him and entrusted him to take care of the Hidden Sword Sect in the future, the Hidden Sword Honorable was still around and he did not have the right to dictate the future development of the Hidden Sword Sect.
However, even if Zhou Cunyu's plan was feasible and the Hidden Sword Peak was truly hopeless, he could still suggest to the Hidden Sword Swordmaster to let Tie Yufeng take over the position. As for the final decision, it would still be up to the Hidden Sword Swordmaster. He would not have any additional words or attitude to influence the decision.
"Thank you for your trust, Mister Tsing Hui."
"There's no need. Perhaps your visit this time is meaningless."
"It's better to take action than to be indifferent."
Zhou Cunyu smiled and took out a box from his personal space. "The detailed plan for the development of the Hidden Sword Sect is in this box. Mister Tsing Hui can take a look at it whenever you have the time."
Tsing Hui's expression changed slightly when Zhou Cunyu took out the box. However, he did not say anything and only made a gesture to send him off.
Zhou Cunyu smiled and bade farewell. He quickly retreated.
"That's not a small sum. The Hidden Sword Continent is indeed one of the top 30 continents in the Divine Wilderness …"
Tsing Hui waved his hand and opened the box. Inside the box, there were more than 30 items of different sizes. The total value of these items was a shocking 80 Daoist Rhymes.
80 Daoist Rhymes. Including the necklace from before, Zhou Cunyu had taken out 88 Daoist Rhymes worth of items to obtain his support to overthrow the Hidden Sword Peak. This amount was almost equivalent to half of the profits that Tsing Hui had plundered from a large sect in the Eastern Wilderness.
"The Hidden Sword Sect is really rich."
Tsing Hui kept the box and left the courtyard of the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. He then rode on his sword and flew towards the Burial Sword Peak where the Hidden Sword Venerable was.
Hidden Sword Venerable might have gotten used to living in the Burial Sword Peak. Even though he had finished his cultivation, he was still living in the Burial Sword Peak. The only difference was that there was a powerful sword formation in the Burial Sword Peak. No one could get close to the Burial Sword Peak. But now, if someone wanted to visit the Burial Sword Venerable, they could still be summoned.
"Greetings, Lord Tsing Hui."
As soon as Tsing Hui landed outside of Hidden Sword Venerable's courtyard, a young man immediately came up to him and bowed respectfully, "Hidden Sword Venerable is inside receiving a guest. I'll go report to Hidden Sword Venerable now. Please wait for a moment, Master Tsing Hui."
"Alright."
Tsing Hui nodded. Since Hidden Sword Venerable was entertaining guests, he did not want to disturb him.
However, before the young man could go in to report, Hidden Sword Venerable's voice could be heard, "Are you Tsing Hui? Come in."
Since Hidden Sword Venerable had summoned him, Tsing Hui did not wait outside. Instead, he stepped into the living room under the young man's surprised gaze.
In the living room, there were two middle-aged men, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties, and a young lady. They were talking about something anxiously. As Tsing Hui entered, Hidden Sword Venerable waved his hand, "Alright, I'll investigate your matter. You can leave now. As long as you have a clear conscience, I won't punish you."
"Yes."
The few of them replied respectfully.
Among them, the young lady said coquettishly, "Great-grandfather, you're no longer in seclusion. You need someone to follow you around. Why don't you let Xiao Qin serve you tea?"
Hidden Sword Venerable looked at the young lady beside him and was slightly stunned. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I've come out of seclusion this time because I have something important to take care of. I won't be staying in the sect for too long. After I announce the results of a few matters tomorrow, I'll leave the Hidden Sword Sect. Hence, I don't need you to follow me. Everything can wait until I'm done."
The young lady was instantly disappointed.
"Alright, you can all leave now."
"Master, we'll take our leave now."
The old woman bowed respectfully to Hidden Sword Venerable and left with the other two middle-aged men and the young lady named Xiao Qin.
When they left, they looked at Tsing Hui and nodded slightly to Tsing Hui. Tsing Hui also nodded in response.
Tsing Hui knew all of them. One of them was the Peak Master of the famous Mingjian Peak in the Hidden Sword Sect. The other was the Great Elder of the Mingjian Peak. As for the old woman, she was the fourth disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect. She was also an expert who had cultivated to the Golden Core Realm. She was over 1200 years old this year and had been by Hidden Sword Venerable's side since before he became a powerful figure. As for the young lady, Tsing Hui did not know her background.
The Famed Sword Peak was the most famous peak in the Hidden Sword Sect. If the peaks of the Hidden Sword Peak were to be ranked, the Hidden Sword Peak would naturally be ranked first, followed by the North Moon Peak and Aurora Peak. Even if the Famed Sword Peak wasn't ranked fourth, it would at least be ranked fifth.
"Tsing Hui, you're here. Have a seat."
Hidden Sword Venerable immediately greeted Tsing Hui with a smile after the group left. His attitude was completely different from how he treated the people from Mingjian Peak.
"Sword Venerable."
Tsing Hui nodded at Hidden Sword Venerable and took out the box that Zhou Cunyu had given him. He said, "Many people have visited me in the past two days. One of them was quite interesting. He even gave me a generous gift before he left." Hidden Sword Venerable was the Level Master of the Chaos Realm.
The Hidden Sword Venerable was a 29th Class Son of Chaos, so he obviously learned about the contents of the box from the Chaos Divine Hall as soon as possible. He immediately sneered, "Looks like I was right after all. As soon as I revealed the slightest intention of reorganizing the Hidden Sword sect, all sorts of people have come running out. Zhou Cunyu, I have some impression of this person. Even though he's not my direct disciple, he has received my guidance more than once. He's very capable and very talented, but he's just a little too scheming. Now, he's actually set his sights on you, Qing Xu, in order to take over that position. He really isn't willing to let go of any opportunity."
As he spoke, he had already opened the box.
In addition to the many items that carried the Dao, there was also a plan for the future of the Hidden Sword Sect.
"I think this plan is his real intention."
Hidden Sword Venerable said.
Tsing Hui was slightly stunned when he heard this. He immediately realized that he had been tricked by Zhou Cunyu.
Zhou Cunyu wasn't trying to be friendly with Hidden Sword Venerable. Instead, he was trying to show Hidden Sword Venerable that he wanted to be promoted. For this, Zhou Cunyu didn't hesitate to fill in eighty Daoist Spirit items. One had to admit that Hidden Sword Venerable was a man of great courage.
"He has some ideas."
Tsing Hui could not help but feel disappointed after he understood what was going on.
"Hmph, he has the ability and the ideas. However, he is too scheming. This kind of person will never be able to achieve anything in the Dao of cultivation."
Hidden Sword Venerable snorted.
Tsing Hui nodded.
"Zhou Cunyu only spent some effort. However, there should be many people who have the same idea as him. Tsing Hui, if you don't mind, I would like you to put on a show with me."
"What is it, Sword Venerable?"
"Everyone in the Hidden Sword sect should understand how important you are to me now. They should also understand that I won't be staying in the Hidden Sword sect for long this time, so I'll be leaving temporarily. As a result, I want you, Qing Xu, to take a good look at the lords of these mountains for me as a great elder and see who can succeed the Hidden Sword sect and take on the heavy responsibility of leading the Hidden Sword sect to new glory. Tell me when I return."
"Hidden Sword Venerable is going to leave? How long will it take? "
"I need to go to Infinite Region to settle a grudge. The Eastern Wilderness is less than two thousand kilometers away from here. If I am fast, it will take about two to three months. Even if I am slow, it will take no more than half a year. Therefore, I only need you to take care of the Hidden Sword Sect for me for half a year."
"Half a year …"
Tsing Hui's only danger was the broken sword. With the Backtracking Skill and the extreme Sword Principle, he was not afraid of the broken sword. Even if he was exposed, it would not matter.
On the other hand, Meng Qi had to put his promise to the Firmament Master to kill Gong Hua, the future chosen one of the Heavenly Dao, on the agenda. He had been in seclusion in the Hidden Sword Continent for two whole years. Now, he would be delayed for a few months to half a year. In addition, it would take a lot of time to go to Infinite Wasteland. He had only two years left.
"Sword Venerable, don't worry. I will take good care of the Hidden Sword Sect for you in this half a year. I will also see who can lead the Hidden Sword Sect to glory."
"Okay, I am not worried about you."
Hidden Sword Venerable looked at Tsing Hui and said, "After changing to the extreme Sword Principle, we can only use our Natal Swords. Divine weapons are not essential to us. As for armors, they are useless if they cannot be integrated with the body. Fortunately, apart from divine weapons and armors, there is also the existence of flying swords. Although we cultivators of the Sword Principle can fly with Sword Qi, if we have a powerful flying sword, we will be able to protect ourselves. Coincidentally, I can be called a Master Swordsman, so I have many flying swords with me. I have selected a few for you according to the characteristics of your Genuine Qi. You can see which one is most suitable for you."
With that, the Hidden Sword Venerable waved his hand and the four flying swords landed before Qing Xu at the same time.
At first, Tsing Hui did not pay much attention to it. However, when he picked up one of the flying swords, he could not help but exclaim, "A Level 12 flying sword?!"
Hidden Sword Venerable smiled and said, "After so many years, it is not surprising that I have accumulated a few Level 12 flying swords."
When Qing Xu heard what the Sword Venerable of the Hidden Sword said, he immediately realised that the four flying swords had all reached a startling twelfth class.
One had to know that the price of a flying sword was usually one level higher than a divine weapon. Even in those large forces, a twelfth level flying sword would require hundreds of Daoist Rhymes to obtain. For those ordinary people, if they wanted to purchase a twelfth level flying sword, wouldn't they need thousands of Daoist Rhymes?!
However, there were four flying swords in front of Tsing Hui …
"Choose one. You have a Level 10 recovery ability, so your Genuine Qi will recover very quickly. Even if you use a Level 12 flying sword and some elixirs, you will be able to maintain a balance between your Genuine Qi consumption and your Genuine Qi recovery speed. With a Level 12 flying sword, if you want to go to Tianhuang Region, you can fly five hundred thousand kilometers in a day and nine million kilometers in less than twenty days."
