Five Immortal Mountain, in the Five Poison Sect's conference hall.
Li Jiao and Tong Tianqi sat next to each other. Below the two of them sat a dozen men and women in different clothes. They were either the Five Poison Sect's Branch Leaders or the Five Poison Sect's elders.
"Elder Tong, why did you suddenly call all the Branch Leaders back?" Li Jiao asked with a gloomy expression.
"As the saying goes, a country cannot go a day without a ruler, a sect cannot go a day without a leader. The position of sect leader cannot go a day without a leader. The Old Man called all the Branch Leaders back to elect a new sect leader." Tong Tianqi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.
Hearing this, most of the Core Formation cultivators' expressions remained the same. Clearly, they already knew about this matter. The remaining Core Formation cultivators' expressions changed as if they didn't know about this matter.
"What? Elect a new sect leader? Tong Tianqi, you dare to usurp the position? "Li Jiao's expression changed and she loudly rebuked.
"Usurp the position? Hmph, if the Old Man wanted to usurp the position, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until today? Little Qu 'er is missing. The position of sect leader can't be empty forever! "Tong Tianqi snorted and sneered.
"The previous sect leader had already appointed Yun'Er as the next sect leader. Yun'Er just went out and didn't return. She didn't go missing. Don't spread rumors." Li Jiao retorted.
"Went out and didn't return? Hmph, she clearly went missing. I think Little Qu 'er most likely died in the Five Immortals Mystery Realm. If you didn't send Little Qu into the Five Immortals Mystery Realm, would something have happened to her? "Tong Tianqi sneered.
"I have Yun'Er's Natal Spirit Tablet. It can prove that she didn't die." As Li Jiao spoke, she flipped her palm and a palm-sized black token appeared in her hand.
"Hmph, just because you say it's Natal Spirit Tablet, it is Little Qu's Natal Spirit Tablet? Who knows whose Natal Spirit Tablet you took out. The position of sect leader has been empty for many years. It can't remain empty. Originally, it was agreed that when Little Qu advanced to the Yuanying stage, she would be in charge of the Five Poison Sect. However, it seems that she doesn't have that fate. Either you find Little Qu 'er, or the Old Man will be elected sect leader, "Tong Tianqi said coldly.
"Yes! We should have elected a new cult master a long time ago. I think Elder Tong is the best candidate. "
"I support Elder Tong's election as the Sect Leader."
"I support it too."
… ….
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Tianqi's supporters all expressed their support.
Seeing this, Li Jiao frowned.
"What? I'm not dead yet! Have you chosen the next leader so quickly? "A woman's faint voice came from outside the meeting hall.
As soon as his voice fell, a figure flashed outside the meeting hall. A young woman with beautiful facial features walked in. It was Quyun.
Quyun held a baby in her arms and looked at the crowd with an indifferent expression.
Tong Tianqi frowned when he saw Quyun.
"Elder Tong, now that Yun 'er is back, do you still want to choose a new Sect Master?" Li Jiao said coldly to Tong Tianqi with joy on her face when she saw Qu Yun.
"The position of sect leader has been empty for many years. It can't remain empty forever. If Little Qu stays in the late Core Formation stage, will the position of sect leader remain empty forever?" Tong Tianqi said indifferently.
"Hmph, with Yun 'er's aptitude, advancing to the Yuanying stage is only a matter of time. Once Yun' er advances to the Yuanying stage, she will naturally become the sect leader," Li Jiao retorted.
"A matter of time? How long is a matter of time? Do you want us to wait forever? Last time, when our sect was fighting over a spirit stone mine with the Sacred Poison Sect, you refused to agree with the Old Man's suggestion, causing the mine to be seized by the Sacred Poison Sect. Is that not enough of a price? "Tong Tianqi sneered.
Li Jiao was about to retort when Quyun spoke first, "Fifty years. If I can't condense the Yuanying stage in another fifty years, I am willing to hand over the position of sect leader to Uncle Tong. If I can advance to the Yuanying stage within fifty years, I, Quyun, will become the next sect leader. What does Uncle Tong think?"
Tong Tianqi raised his brow and shook his head, "Fifty years is too long. At most twenty years."
"Thirty years, no less." Quyun bargained.
"Alright, thirty years. I'll give you thirty years." Tong Tianqi pondered for a moment before agreeing.
With that said, he stomped the ground and flew out of the conference hall in a streak of yellow light.
When the majority of the Core Formation cultivators saw this, they all turned into streaks of light and left the conference hall.
Li Jiao glanced at the infant in Quyun's arms and frowned, "All of you are dismissed. Return to where you came from and do your job properly."
"Yes, Elder Li." The completion leveled cultivators responded and left the meeting hall.
Li Jiao casually placed a soundproof barrier around her and Quyun before asking, "Yun'er, where have you been these past two years?"
"I was kidnapped by him and lived in another place for a period of time. If I didn't obey, he would die with me," Qu Yun said calmly.
"What about the items? Did you get it? "Li Jiao frowned when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Quyun shook her head and said with disappointment, "It's not the cave left behind by the Five Immortals Sect's leader. It's the cave left behind by a Yuanying cultivator who calls himself Dong Fuzi."
"Really?" Li Jiao stared at Quyun and asked in a deep voice, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Aunt Li, if you don't believe me, the storage bag is here. You can check it as you wish." Qu Yun laughed bitterly when he heard this. He took out an exquisite storage bag and handed it over.
Li Jiao's expression changed when she saw this. After pondering for a moment, she chuckled and said, "How could Aunt Li not believe you!? Take back the storage pouch! Since you didn't find it, then forget it. Oh right, did you bring this child back from the secular world? Was Martial Niece Xin's lesson not enough? If you want to train your trusted followers, you can just choose a few disciples in the Qi Refining Stage and train them by your side. There's no need to raise those abandoned babies in the secular world. "
"This isn't an abandoned baby. It's my child with him." Quyun shook her head and said with love.
The baby in her arms had delicate features and rosy skin. There was a sweet smile on its little face and it looked very cute.
"What? You and his child? You two … "Li Jiao frowned and said.
"Yes, he let me go for the sake of the child." Quyun nodded with a red face.
"Hmph, there's no good man. If I had known, I wouldn't have kept him alive." Li Jiao snorted and said with some dissatisfaction. She then thought of something and said, "Let me raise this child! You can focus on your cultivation and try to reach the Yuanying Stage within 30 years. Otherwise, the position of the Hierarch will really be taken away by Tong Tianqi. "
"Okay, then Xuan 'er will be in your care, Aunt Li." Quyun nodded and said. She kissed the baby's forehead and handed the baby to Li Jiao.
"What's the child's surname?" Li Jiao took the baby and asked casually.
"Wang Xuan." Quyun said with a red face.
"He abandoned you. The child can't take his surname. I think the child should be called Qu Xuan." Li Jiao frowned and thought for a while.
