In any case, no matter how well Sect Master Li did, there would always be people who were dissatisfied. The one who was most dissatisfied was the successor of Sect Master Wu of the Mortal World's Taitianmen. He was the predecessor of Sect Master Li of the Mortal World's Taitianmen and should have been the current Sect Master. In his eyes, the meritorious deeds made by Sect Master Li should have been his.
However, the two masters sent to the Mortal World by the Mysterious Heaven Sect were pure thugs. They didn't usually manage the affairs of the Sect, and they didn't know how troublesome it was to manage a Sect. They only knew that as long as everything was done according to the rules, the huge Mysterious Heaven Sect could develop and prosper.
Sect Master Li's position was obviously not in line with the rules. As soon as Sect Master Wu came into contact with them, the two sides hit it off. Led by Zhou Sheng, the Great Overarching Golden Immortal from the Mortal World, and together with another Golden Immortal master, Lin Zongxun, they directly questioned Sect Master Li's succession to the position of Sect Master.
In terms of seniority, no one in the Spiritual Realm's Profound Heaven Sect could compare to Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun. Even the First Elder, who had the highest seniority, had to address Lin Zongxun as Martial Granduncle. As for Zhou Sheng, he was an elder of the Sect that even Lin Zongxun had to call Martial Uncle.
In terms of cultivation, Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun were Great Overarching Golden Immortal and peak Golden Immortal respectively. It could be said that all the Profound Immortal masters of the Mysterious Heaven Sect combined were not their opponents.
These two people didn't just question the legitimacy of Sect Master Li's succession. They just used this as an excuse to directly launch a purge to replace the Sect Master. They put Sect Master Li under house arrest and announced to the outside world that he was in closed-door cultivation and that Sect Master Wu, who should take over, would temporarily take over the position of Sect Master. After a victory with enough weight, they could rightfully announce the resignation of Sect Master Li and the succession of Sect Master Wu.
It was not as simple as a few words to launch a move in the Mysterious Heaven Sect to replace a Sect Master who was supported by more than 90% of the disciples. It could be said that behind every power struggle, there was blood. This was the case in the struggle between emperors in the mortal world, and it was the same for cultivators. The Black Heaven Sect was no exception.
Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun were merciless even towards the disciples of their own Sect. They killed three Core Elders and hundreds of disciples on the spot. If Sect Master Li hadn't decisively suppressed the emotions of his disciples when he saw that the situation was not good, and then cooperated with Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun, perhaps even Sect Master Li would have fallen into the fate of being killed by the "Zhao Family Master".
Sect Master Wu originally only had the cultivation of an Earth Immortal. In terms of cultivation, even the successor Sect Master could not control the situation. However, this fella was truly ruthless. He directly consumed three Thousand Year Pills, forcibly raising his cultivation from the intermediate Earthly Immortal stage to the late Heavenly Immortal stage, even surpassing Sect Head Li. Only then did everyone reluctantly agree.
Of course, the decisive reason was still the Great All-Embracing Golden Immortal Zhou Sheng and the Golden Immortal Lin Zongxun. With the two of them supporting Sect Master Wu, the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect dared not speak out and could only silently accept this fact. They knew very well that if they continued to show dissatisfaction, not only would they lose themselves, but they would also lose the life of their beloved Sect Master Li.
Just at this time, the news of the Samsara Valley's auction also came from there. It was too easy for the Profound Heaven Sect to know who the guests were at the Samsara Valley's auction. As long as the high-level officials came forward and greeted the Samsara Valley, it would be fine. Soon, the news that Yang Chen had a large number of top-grade spirit stones fell into the eyes of Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun.
Especially when they heard that there were three experts from the Immortal World present, the three experts from the Samsara Valley, the Great Wilderness Sect, and the Wuji Demon School, none of them could snatch the heart of a junior, which made Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun very dissatisfied.
When did a little Earthly Immortal junior from the Spiritual World dare to stand on the heads of the Golden Immortal ancestors and shit on them? If this could be tolerated, what could not be tolerated? This was something that made everyone share a common enemy, and they could not let it go so easily.
Therefore, Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun began to understand what kind of person Yang Chen was and what kind of Sect the Chunyang Palace was.
Seeing this situation, the 36 Elders of the Big Dipper, who were responsible for protecting the Sect Master, had an idea. These two elders from the Mortal World did not know that Yang Chen was a spy of the Sect. In other words, the higher-ups did not confide in these two grandmasters and did not tell them the most critical point.
In this way, only Sect Master Li and the 36 Big Dipper knew the identity of Yang Chen in the entire Profound Heaven Sect. Several other core high-level officials who knew the identity of Yang Chen had been killed by Zhou Sheng on the first day of the coup d 'état.
When they learned that the Chunyang Palace relied on Yang Chen to exchange the Sacred Dwelling Jade, the Millennium Elixir, the Prolongation Elixir, and other elixirs from the major Sect for a promise to guarantee the peace of Chunyang Palace for thousands of years, and that Yang Chen also relied on various elixirs to make so many top-grade spirit stones, Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun were very dissatisfied.
It turned out that Yang Chen's wealth was also a part of the Profound Heaven Sect? There was no need to say anything. Investigate! Find out if Sect Master Li and his predecessors had taken the opportunity to enrich their own pockets in this matter. As long as they found the evidence, it would be more justifiable for Sect Master Li to step down.
Especially when they heard that Yang Chen had asked the Sect Masters of the major Sect to personally swear the Great Oath of the Heart Demon that they could not violate, they were even more furious. A little Earth Immortal junior dared to do this to the Profound Heaven Sect? He should have knelt directly in front of the Profound Heaven Sect and begged the Profound Heaven Sect to protect him, instead of using this way to threaten him.
In the eyes of Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun, the two veteran masters of the Profound Heaven Sect, the move of Yang Chen and Chunyang Palace was the greatest blasphemy to the Profound Heaven Sect. If they were not taught a lesson, they could not swallow this anger.
Soon, Sect Master Wu came up with a way to not only teach the Chunyang Palace an unforgettable lesson, but also to make everyone speechless.
Sect Master Wu's plan was to let the disciples who had been sentenced to death in the Profound Heaven Sect, who had violated the sect rules, attack the Chunyang Palace. If they were defeated, they would be spared and smoothly take over the Chunyang Palace and the huge wealth of Yang Chen. If they couldn't be defeated, it would be their own decision, and they wanted to take the opportunity to frame the Sect.
Anyway, these guys were going to die anyway, so it was better to let them fight for a chance to live. At the same time, this was also a means for Sect Master Wu to win people's hearts. You were sentenced to death when Sect Master Li was in power, but my new Sect Master gave you a chance to live as soon as he took office. Who is better and who is worse, everyone should know, right?
This disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect was sent by the Great Elder to deliver a letter. He also told Yang Chen about the recent changes in the Profound Heaven Sect, and also to remind Yang Chen to be careful. The attack of the Profound Heaven Sect would come soon.
After reading these messages, Yang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Damn, this struggle for power in the Profound Heaven Sect even involved me. What an injustice!
