“Feng Baiyu is at his peak state and has only been the sect leader for 30 years. So why would he pass it on to you so quickly?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion. Little Nine shook her head. “I do not know either. Yesterday, Master told me that I am already set as the next sect leader of the Yuhua Sect. Master and

Grandfather-master will put in all efforts to train me in the upcoming years.”

“Do you want to be the sect leader?” Li Qingshan asked softly.

The Yuhua Sect Leader had great power but also great responsibility.

They also had to face the Heavenly Path Sect’s pressure in all aspects. Could Little Nine take it?

“Brother, I want to be the sect leader.” Little Nine nodded her little head fiercely.

“If I become Sect Leader, I will be able to free Brother,” Little Nine admitted. “I can also use the Yuhua Sect’s vast resources to help you start cultivating again. This way, I can still have a brother after 100 years.”

For her, the most important thing as the Yuhua Sect Leader would be to save her brother.

Li Qingshan was touched. He patted Little Nine’s head and said gently, “Silly girl, I am very happy here. You do not have to save me.”

Little Nine just smiled sweetly.

Li Qingshan and Little Nine walked over the bridge. They gazed at the blooming flowers and the fish swimming freely as they chatted about mundane topics as brother and sister.

Time passed very slowly.

When Little Nine had to leave at night, Li Qingshan walked her to the edge of Repentance Cliff.

Watching her leave, Li Qingshan stayed in his spot and started thinking hard. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, Little Nine would become the Yuhua Sect Leader in a few years.

By then, she would be swept into the conflicts of the cultivation world even if she did not want to.

Then she would not be an individual anymore. Instead, she would represent the Yuhua Sect—the sect with an unbroken heritage.

“Since you want to be the sect leader, I will support you as your brother.

“There are still a few years, anyhow. By then, I should have reached the Ninth Heaven of the Great Venerable Plane.

“I should be very strong in this cultivation world where the Great Path and spiritual Qi are sealed!”

Li Qingshan arched an eyebrow as he spoke.

Then he returned to the bamboo hut and continued to cultivate.

Every day, he practiced katas, wiped the steles, and cultivated. His days were fulfilling.

Heavenlv Path Sect.

The atmosphere in the Heavenly Path Sect was very tense these days.

There was none of the laughter and chatter from before, nor the bustling sounds.

All the disciples were cultivating and discussing in low voices, guessing how their sect leaders would take revenge on the Yuhua Sect.

Everyone in the cultivation world knew that the Heavenly Path Sect was vengeful.

But this time, it was indeed beyond their imagination.

After losing a genius and a dozen top figures, the Heavenly Path Sect was actually silent. This was not normal. It was so abnormal that even their own disciples felt that they just had not found the right timing yet.

In reality, the upper levels of the Heavenly Path Sect were full of arguments.

All sorts of meetings went on endlessly these days.

More than half of the elders were slamming on the tables and yelling angrily, wanting to bring a catastrophe to the Yuhua Sect. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶

They all expressed that they wanted to destroy the Yuhua Sect.

However, the current Heavenly Path Sect Leader shot down these proposals.

The Heavenly Path Sect Leader was named Hei Shuitian. He was a middle-aged man with tanned skin, a hooked nose, deep-set eyes, and a gaze like a wolf’s.

“Everyone, please stay calm. The Yuhua Sect does not pose a threat. What is truly frightening is the rumor that Wu Shaobai is still alive. That sword killed Elder Tian Qingzi in one blow, as well as the other disciples. This man must have reached the shackles of the world, allowing him to support an entire sect by himself. Sending more Venerables over is already meaningless. If we wish to destroy the Yuhua Sect, we must kill that man. However, we are unable to kill him. We need the great ancestors to help.”

Hei Shuitian’s voice was deep and low.

“Why haven’t the great ancestors attacked?” an elder wondered.

“Those great ancestors have already entered isolation to break through the shackles of the world,” Hei Shuitian said. “They are unable to attack.”

“Then, there is no way for us to defeat the Yuhua Sect’s hidden strong figure and destroy the Yuhua Sect?” an elder said in frustration.

“We must destroy the Yuhua Sect, naturally. They have provoked the Heavenly Path Sect’s dignity multiple times. So how can we intimidate the world without killing them?” Hei Shuitian explained slowly.

He continued, “It does not matter if those great ancestors come out or not. I have already contacted the Northwest Gun King. He will attack and kill the hidden figure of the Yuhua Sect.”

“The Northwest Gun King is a fierce man!” an elder exclaimed. “If he attacks, that hidden figure of the Yuhua Sect will most likely be defeated.”

“Correct.” An elder laughed loudly. He was instantly relieved after hearing that the Northwest Gun King would be involved. “We have all witnessed the Northwest Gun King’s abilities 40 years ago. Back then, Wu Shaobai had killed a dozen of our strong figures and was at the height of things. A few of the great ancestors were prepared to attack and suppress Wu Shaobai together, but in the end, Patriarch Baihua persuaded the Northwest Gun King. He dueled with Wu Shaobai in an intense battle. In the end, Wu Shaobai had no choice but to seal himself in the stele.’

“Sect Leader, when will the Northwest Gun King attack?” an elder asked.

“Sect Leader, I remember clearly that the Northwest Gun King said he would not be involved with sect matters.”

Hei Shuitian’s lips curled. “The so-called not getting involved is only when the interests are not big enough. When the interests are big enough, past promises all become meaningless.

“Within three months, the Northwest Gun King will head to the Yuhua Sect, so everyone, please be patient. They are sitting ducks and will not be living for much longer.” Hei Shuitian reached out to soothe the elders’ impatience and fury.

“Since you have arranged everything, we will just continue to wait. Within three months, the Yuhua Sect will collapse.”

“Yes, without the hidden strong figure, the Yuhua Sect will not be able to take a single blow.”

“Watch his building rise, watch him invite guests, and watch his building fall.” Hei Shuitian chuckled coldly. “Everyone, quietly wait these three months out.” The other elders stopped causing a commotion.

Thus, the Heavenly Path Sect surprised the outside world and continued not to do a thing.

The Yuhua Sect was very uncomfortable with how the Heavenly Path Sect did not do anything.

Feng Baiyu paced back and forth in the Yuhua Sect’s Sect Leader Hall with his hands behind his back. He had an aggravated expression.

Beside him was the Elder of Justice, the former sect leader, and Little Nine.

“What kind of scheme is the Heavenly Path Sect planning?” Feng Baiyu asked in confusion.

He had fought against the Heavenly Path Sect for 30 years. So Feng Baiyu knew what kind of personality they had.

If they took such a blow but did not react, it could only mean that the Heavenly Path Sect was planning even greater revenge.

“Sect Leader, since we are unable to find out what the Heavenly Path Sect is planning, we can only do our best to strengthen ourselves.” The Elder of Justice sighed.

“Have you still not found the senior with the sword?” Feng Baiyu asked.

“I have searched through the entire Yuhua Sect and checked every disciple,” the

Elder of Justice said helplessly. “I even searched Li Qingshan on Repentance Cliff and confirmed he had no problems.”

Little Nine glanced at the Elder of Justice.

Feng Baiyu sighed. “We must find that senior. I keep feeling that there is a sword hanging over the neck of the Yuhua Sect. We will be obliterated if we so much as take one wrong step.”

The Elder of Justice could not do anything but nod. He felt helpless inside too..
