In the end, the result was obvious!
Fang Jie was directly appointed to replace Lin Xiuyuan in guarding the medicine garden. He was also one of the top ten disciples in the Yunmai sect in terms of combat strength, so he was qualified for this position.
At Rong Fuzhen's suggestion, many Cloud Vein disciples objected. In contrast, there were only a handful of Spirit Vein disciples, making it difficult to suppress these dissenting voices.
Although Wang Jin also favored Lin Xiuyuan, he was not a member of the Han family lineage and naturally hoped that the garrison could be managed by a powerful person who could ensure the safety of the rear. This would be a stable guarantee for their troops going into battle!
In fact.
When Wang Jin learned of this additional reason, he had a slight hope that Lin Xiuyuan would join the battle, but obviously, after this incident, it was unlikely.
Previously, for the sake of the overall situation, he had sided with Lin Xiuyuan. Now, on these 'minor matters,' he could not continue to show favoritism. After all, he was the leader of the Yunmai sect and could not be so biased. Moreover, he did not have the prestige of Han Chenhua, who could have absolute authority. He could only compromise with the wishes of the many Yunmai disciples.
Although only those close to the Han family did not want Lin Xiuyuan to take charge of the defense, the other disciples of the Yun lineage shared the same idea as the disciples of the Ling lineage: it seemed more appropriate for 'one of their own' to take charge, which is human nature.
Lin Xiuyuan saw this point and knew that the resistance would be great, so he did not intend to fight for anything.
He didn't care much about this matter; he had too few merits, but he had taken on a lot of responsibilities and tasks.
So from beginning to end, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything, adopting a laissez-faire attitude, which puzzled the spiritual disciples who 'supported' him, but they could do nothing about it.
After the meeting concluded, the Xuanfeng Sect disciples, who had previously been somewhat confused, inquired privately and finally understood what had happened.
"I didn't mishear. They really were saying he might have killed Han Chenhua? That's the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Cloud Soaring Sect. He's risen to power in such a short time, and he already has this level of combat strength?"
"However, this is just a suspicion. That's Han Chenhua, not only the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Yunxiao Sect, but also hailed as the number one prodigy in the northern part of our Yunmeng Mountains."
"I estimate it's mostly just internal strife among them! Although Han Chenhua has been missing for so many years, it doesn't necessarily mean he was the cause!"
"After all, the opening of this secret realm has brought together geniuses from all sides, especially those from both the righteous and demonic factions. Among them, there must be quite a few who are stronger than Han Chenhua!"
"If something really happened to Han Chenhua, it would most likely be the work of those Daoist disciples and demonic disciples. How could it be this Lin Xiuyuan? I heard that when he entered the secret realm, he had only just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage..."
"I think their targeting of this genius of Lingxiao is purely due to internal conflicts... How could it be that he killed Han Chenhua?"
After learning about this, the Xuanfeng Sect members, just like Rong Fuzhen and the other Yunxiao Sect disciples, thought that although some clues pointed to Lin Xiuyuan, considering the huge difference in their status, they all believed that it could not have been Lin Xiuyuan's doing.
However, after learning more about Lin Xiuyuan's deeds from the disciples of the Cloud Soaring Sect, they all fell silent.
"I never expected that he would have entered the sect halfway through, cultivated and advanced in the outer sect, and only entered the main peak of the Cloud Sky Sect in about one term?"
"Having just entered the main peak, and still in the early stages of his cultivation, he has already defeated the senior disciples? He even set a new record in the Trial Tower... Not to mention that during his subsequent cultivation, he continuously set new records in the Trial Tower, reaching a level that is almost unprecedented and unparalleled, achieving a legendary status!!"
"His talent in talisman cultivation is monstrous, and his combat strength is even more extraordinary. In both the grand and small competitions, he is in no way inferior to the older disciples, and he almost directly challenged Han Chenhua to a duel?"
In the past, as an allied force, we only knew about Lin Xiuyuan, a recently rising figure, through hearsay and didn't know much. We only knew that Yunxiao Sect had produced another prodigy, but we didn't really know how much of a prodigy he was.
Now that the details have been discovered, the disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect were immediately shocked.
Such a rise to prominence, and the talent he has displayed, is a rare sight not only in the Great Yue, but also throughout the entire Southern Continent, spanning thousands of years.
At this moment, they began to understand the feelings of many Yunxiao Sect disciples.
This seems unlikely at first glance!
But given the extraordinary talent Lin Xiuyuan has displayed, it seems there might actually be some possibility?
This moment caused all the disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect to fall silent.
After a long pause, a disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect sighed, "No wonder our sect is led by the Yunxiao Sect, and even has a bit of a subordinate sect feel to it... We are both large sects, but the difference is really quite big!"
"Our emerging sect will find it difficult to catch up with such established large sects in a short period of time. Their foundation is simply too profound. They have produced an extremely talented Han Chenhua, and several other outstanding disciples of the same generation who are only slightly inferior. Now they have produced another one, Lin Xiuyuan... No wonder the Cloud Soaring Sect has such a profound foundation, continuously cultivating such outstanding talents!"
