Shen Qingtang did not sit in the main seat at the elders' meeting, but everyone wanted him to be the leader.
An elder said, "The disciples' letters of recommendation have almost filled up the main peak. If Elder Qingxiao were to become the leader of the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect, it would be a popular choice."
"That's right. True Man Qingxiao is respected and admired by the world of cultivation. He deserves to be the leader of the sect." Another elder said.
The remaining few were all in favor, but Shen Qingtang glanced at the figure waiting outside the door and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. Qingxiao is not interested in this. I asked you to come here today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Elder Qingxiao, please speak." All the elders looked at him.
Shen Qingtang said coldly, "Qingxiao has been protected by the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect for many years. Now that the sect is in trouble, I will help it purge the treacherous people inside and outside, thus preserving our friendship. From today on, Shen Qingtang will withdraw from the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect and become a free cultivator. Please appoint someone else to the position of Sect Master you mentioned."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. The elders all had complicated expressions: "Why did Master Qingxiao make such a decision?!"
"But what is it about the Immortal Sect that makes you dissatisfied?" asked an elder.
Another elder sighed, "When the Sect Master was here, we didn't mean to oppose you. It's just that if we didn't obey you, we would be the ones to suffer. We really have no choice. We still admire the way Master Qingxiao acts."
"Yes, there is no hostility." said an elder with white hair and beard.
"It's not because of this reason, but because of Shen's own reasons. Now it just happens that the opportunity arises. Please choose someone else for the position of sect leader." Shen Qingtang stood up and said.
An elder quickly intervened, "You are now the popular choice, and you have saved the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect from this crisis with your powerful strength. If you leave, I'm afraid this newly raised banner will fall. Even if you don't want to be the Sect Master, can you please wait a little longer before leaving the sect?"
There was a pleading tone in his voice, and Shen Qingtang knew that what he said made sense. If he left now, it would indeed destroy the morale of the people who had just gathered. He was still an elder of the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect, and if possible, he did not want to see it come to an end.
"Is one year feasible?" Shen Qingtang gave in and said, "I will stay in Jiuxiao Xianmen for another year, and then I will withdraw from here."
With a year, the scattered hearts of the people were stabilized, and the disciples who did not want to stay could not stay no matter how hard they tried.
The elder made way and said, "Thank you, True Man Qingxiao, for your generosity."
Shen Qingtang has made many contributions to this sect, but the Jiuxiao Xianmen has had very few opportunities to truly protect him. They have indeed done their best over the years, and they have no reason to stop them.
"Yeah." Shen Qingtang stepped out. As he got closer to the figure waiting for him, he felt more and more relaxed. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
When he opened his mouth, Lin Su happened to turn around and said with a smile: "No matter how long I wait for you, it's not too long."
Shen Qingtang stood opposite him and said, "You may have to stay in the sect for another year before you can leave."
"Well, one year is just enough time to discuss the wedding date." Lin Su said.
Shen Qingtang knew that he no longer cared whether he stayed in Jiuxiao Xianmen or not, but she didn't know he would say such words: "How can it be so fast?"
"As long as Master is willing, you and I can get married at any time. One year is not too late." Lin Su said, holding his hand.
Shen Qingtang pursed his lips, and the two of them disappeared from the main peak in an instant.
The position of the Sect Master of Jiuxiao Xianmen was still to be decided, but the elders had seen the scene of Shen Qingtang and Lin Su interacting with each other. One of them hissed and said, "What is the current level of Lin Su from Wanbao Xiancheng? He doesn't look like he is in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"The relationship between the two of them seems a bit subtle." Another elder was unsure of his guess.
Several people looked at each other, but no one said another word. The two of them behaved intimately, which obviously exceeded the friendship between master and disciple. Although the rebellion between master and disciple would cause controversy, the affairs of Master Qingxiao were not so easy to discuss. Even if it was really rebellion, with the title of the God of Death, few people would dare to provoke him.
Now that the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect is in a difficult situation, it is not appropriate for them to meddle in other people's affairs.
"Someone has to take the position of the sect leader, otherwise there will be a lack of people in charge." An elder changed the subject when he spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes..." others echoed.
Shen Qingtang and the other person did not leave the sect directly. Although he agreed to stay in the sect for a year, he had to take Qingxiao Peak with him. He was worried that the sudden disappearance of Qingxiao Peak would cause a stir, but now Lin Su and he worked together to create a sleight of hand, and it was still possible.
In addition to this matter, there is another person left for Shen Qingtang to deal with, and that is Chu Xi who lives at the foot of Qingxiao Peak.
The two landed at the foot of Qingxiao Peak. Chu Xi had just returned and was meditating and practicing. Shen Qingtang took a look and found that his cultivation seemed to have improved a lot. With such talent, he was indeed comparable to what he was in his youth.
"Wait for me here." Shen Qingtang said to Lin Su.
This was something he had to resolve. If both of them went over there, it would inevitably make them both feel awkward.
"Okay." Lin Su knew that this kind of conversation could only be resolved by him. He stood aside with his hands behind his back and said, "I'll wait for you."
If a Spiritual Transformation cultivator concealed his aura, a Golden Core cultivator would naturally not be able to detect it. Shen Qingtang deliberately leaked a trace of his aura. When Chu Xi opened his eyes and saw him, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes. He stood up and saluted, saying, "Master, why are you here?"
The little animal that was originally coiled on the stone suddenly raised its head and sniffed twice, and its originally leisurely posture instantly became extremely alert.
That person is coming!!!
Chu Xi looked at it inexplicably, but still treated Shen Qingtang with great respect.
Shen Qingtang reached out to support his arm, and after seeing him stand up straight, he said, "I came here today to tell you something."
His tone was truly cold, and Chu Xi felt a chill in her heart. "Master, please speak."
"You have outstanding talent, a talent that can be called a dragon and phoenix among all the cultivators. You are worthy of being the direct disciple of the Elder Huashen. However, I cannot accept you as my disciple." Shen Qingtang said coldly, "You don't need to waste your time here anymore. It's better to find a good teacher as soon as possible."
Although Chu Xi had already prepared himself for this, he still felt heavy-hearted when the facts were laid before him. He asked, "But did this junior do something wrong?"
He actually asked him to kick him out of here. Could it be that the crimes he had committed when he helped that person to announce Shanghe and others were discovered?
Although it was an act of punishing evil and promoting good, it ultimately damaged the reputation of the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect. Considering the ruthless methods of True Man Qingxiao, he should not be blamed for this matter.
He answered like this, and Shen Qingtang looked at him inexplicably. He wasn't asking him to leave because he had done anything wrong, but he was obviously a little worried, which meant that there might really be something wrong: "You know it in your heart."
