Chapter 1122 The Sect Leader
A sharp sword flew out from the old Taoist's sleeve.
It transformed into a ball of blue light, enveloping the old Taoist priest and Ji Yunting, before flying towards the mountaintop.
The feeling of flying on a sword... it's so exhilarating!
Although it wasn't the first time Ji Yunting had been carried by his master, he still couldn't help but feel excited looking at the mountains and land beneath his feet.
I don't know when I will be able to fly on my sword alone.
The old Taoist's residence was very close to the mountaintop.
In just a minute or two, they reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain, as if sliced open by a giant sword, is a large, flat open space.
Many buildings were constructed on the open space, with a magnificent hall at the very center!
The old Taoist priest landed on the open ground with Ji Yunting and retrieved his flying sword.
Many people around, also dressed in Taoist robes, quickly bowed to the old Taoist priest upon seeing him.
"Elder Duan!"
"Hello, elder!"
Elder Duan nodded slightly to them and strode into the main hall.
Just like Elder Duan's courtyard, there is also a statue of a man dressed in a Taoist robe sitting in the main hall.
An old Taoist priest, about the same age as Elder Duan, was resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Old Duan, what brings you here?"
"Sect Leader, I have something important to report to you!"
Elder Duan said angrily.
Not bad.
This is the location of the Dao Yi Sect behind the Vermilion Bird.
The elder Duan who was flying with Ji Yunting on his sword was Duan Yu, one of the seven elders of the Dao Yi Sect, and the one with the most fiery temper.
The one whom Duan Yu referred to as the sect leader was Bai Henian, the leader of the Dao Yi Sect.
Duan Yu told Bai Henian everything that had happened to Ji Yunting!
"Is there such a thing?"
Bai Henian frowned slightly and looked at Ji Yunting.
"Yun Ting, are you telling the truth?"
"Reporting to the Master, this disciple dares not conceal anything; everything I have said is true!"
Ji Yunting hurriedly said.
"Sect Leader, the other party has humiliated Yun Ting so much. If we don't retaliate, won't we become a laughingstock?"
Duan Yu said indignantly.
"That's true, but our Daoist sect focuses on cultivation and doesn't concern itself with worldly affairs."
"Let Suzaku handle these grudges."
Bai Henian said slowly.
"Does the Vermilion Bird rely on us for everything and expect them to avenge Yun Ting?"
Duan Yu said disdainfully.
"Sect Leader, how about this: I will personally go down the mountain and handle this matter?"
"This is a small matter, Lao Duan, you don't need to handle it personally."
Bai Henian pondered for a moment, then said softly.
“Strict governance”.
"The disciple is here."
A young man dressed in casual clothes walked out from the side.
"You must immediately take a few junior brothers down the mountain and head to the Vermilion Bird area. You must handle this matter properly."
After giving his instructions, Bai Henian looked at Duan Yu.
"Old Duan, how about we handle this?"
Yan Zheng is Bai Henian's personal disciple, and he is very powerful. He is basically the candidate for the next sect leader.
It would be most appropriate to let him handle this matter.
Although reluctant, Duan Yu nodded.
"Oh well!"
"But if even Yan Zheng can't handle it, then I'll have to step in myself."
After Bai Henian comforted Duan Yu for a few more minutes, Duan Yu got up and left.
After they left, Bai Henian looked at Yan Zheng.
Do you know why I told you to come down the mountain?
"Your disciple is foolish, please enlighten me, Master."
Yan Zheng said respectfully.
“Your Uncle Duan is impulsive by nature. If he goes down the mountain, he could very well cause a disaster. That’s one reason.”
Secondly, this apocalyptic catastrophe came about in a very strange way.
"If it is not necessary, we should try to avoid getting involved in the world and getting entangled in karma."
The white crane spoke in a young voice.
“Master’s thoughts are profound and far-reaching, beyond my reach.”
Yan Zheng quipped out a sentence.
Bai Henian chuckled to himself.
"Alright, stop flattering your teacher."
"If you see that Su Chen, try to find out his background."
"It's rather strange that someone who isn't a disciple of the Taoist sect could possess a flying sword."
"Disciple obey!"
"Alright, go and get ready."
Bai Henian waved his hand.
After everyone had left, Bai Henian looked at the statue behind him and sighed softly.
"Grandmaster, do you really think we can cultivate to become immortals?"
The statue of the man he referred to as his master simply smiled and remained silent.
……
After hunting the dragon rabbit, Su Chen led Luo Xiaotian and the others back to the main base of the Watchers Alliance.
The dragon and rabbit blood seized this time is enough to refine a large batch of dragon blood reagents.
For a considerable period of time, the Watchers League no longer had to worry about Dragonblood reagents.
As soon as Su Chen returned to the base, he saw Zhong Ya Yun and Crow among the crowd that came to greet him.
However, both of them looked rather unpleasant.
After chatting with the others for a few minutes and sending them away, Su Chen came to Zhong Ya Yun and Crow.
"What's wrong? You look so pale."
Su Chen asked with a light laugh.
"Boss Su, what you did this time... went a bit too far."
The crow smiled bitterly.
No matter how much the two sides argued before, they maintained a facade of peace.
But this time was different. Su Chen captured a large number of Suzaku members and killed quite a few people.
This is tantamount to the two sides completely tearing each other apart!
"Did Minister Lu call you?"
Su Chen asked.
"Yes……"
Zhong Yayun nodded.
"He informed us to return to Suzaku immediately."
This is understandable.
With the two sides currently at loggerheads, Lu Benwei will definitely prioritize transferring Crow and Zhong Yage back.
"I see. What do you all think?"
Su Chen said softly,
"If you don't mind, you can stay."
"Forget it, we are Suzaku's people after all."
The crow shook its head.
"how about you?"
Su Chen then looked at Zhong Yage.
"Boss Su, I really want to stay."
Zhong Ya-yun said softly,
"But Suzaku is my home, and I really can't bear to leave it..."
"It's alright, you can go back now."
Su Chen shook his head.
"Then we'll go first..."
Zhong Yage bit her red lips, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Su Chen tightly.
"Boss Su, no matter what, I will not be your enemy."
Su Chen smiled and hugged her without saying anything.
Before leaving, the crow seemed to remember something and said to Su Chen,
"Boss Su, Minister Lu wants you to call him back when you have time."
"Ok!"
After watching the two leave, Su Chen returned to his office and dialed Lu Benwei's number.
He had just made the call when Lu Benwei answered it instantly.
"Xiao Su, does it have to get to this point?!"
His tone was somewhat helpless.
"Minister Lu, it's not that I want to make a scene, but Cheng Kun and the others are pushing us too far."
Su Chen's tone was indifferent, a stark contrast to his usual friendly demeanor.
"Sigh... It's come to this, I don't know what to say anymore."
