Quanxiu, Bingxin Peak, Main Hall.
At this moment, four elders were gathered in the hall: the Second Elder Li Moli, the Third Elder Liu Yun, the Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun, and the Sixth Elder Li Baiyu.
When Su Nian appeared here and heard from his own mouth that he was going to preside over this Immortal Summoning Ceremony, the Fourth Elder came over, took his hand, and patted his head with a look of affection.
"Nian'er has really grown up; she even knows to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibilities of the sect."
Su Nian smiled slightly and said, "Since they all came for me, I can't ignore them, both out of courtesy and reason."
The Second Elder pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Su Nian, you should think it over carefully before making a decision. You are now the focus of attention, and your every word and action will attract the attention of countless people."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care what others think of me. I will strictly control the selection process for this Immortal Recruitment Ceremony and only retain the most talented disciples," Su Nian said calmly.
Third Elder Liu Yun sneered, disdainfully saying, "You? A Foundation Establishment cultivator who uses a secret technique to temporarily boost his strength to attract attention?"
Su Nian frowned slightly.
Before he could speak, Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Third Elder Liu Yun, "What are you saying! Who do you think you are?"
Third Elder Liu Yun sat leisurely to the side, idly admiring her glossy nails, and said indifferently, "Just say whoever is at the Foundation Establishment stage. What, did I say something wrong?"
Mo Rouyun was furious and snorted, "Senior Sister Liu! You probably don't know that Nian'er is actually a reincarnation of a true immortal, do you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yun burst into laughter.
She laughed until tears streamed down her face, and it took her a long time to calm down.
"Who? A reincarnated immortal? Him? Hahahaha—that's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! Hahahaha—"
Liu Yun's laughter echoed throughout the main dining hall, drawing everyone's attention to her face. Apart from the Second Elder and Su Nian, who remained expressionless, the Fourth Elder, Mo Rouyun, and Li Bingxin both wore grim expressions.
Liu Yun is a staunch supporter of Ye Hua. She treats Ye Hua as her godson and often gives him special tutoring within the sect. In her previous life, the biggest culprit behind Ye Hua's success in refining the entire Quanxiu sect was Liu Yun.
In her previous life, Liu Yun was also the most acerbic elder towards Su Nian. Her unscrupulous protection of Ye Hua led to the destruction of all seven immortal mountains in Quanxiu.
Liu Yun's shrill laughter echoed throughout the hall. The Second Elder couldn't stand it any longer and scolded, "Quiet down! You are, after all, the Third Elder of Quanxiu Sect. How can you mock an inner disciple like this?"
Liu Yun's laughter stopped abruptly. She glared angrily at the Second Elder, snorted, and then fell silent.
Second Elder Li Moli said to Su Nian, "Since you are willing to take on this responsibility, I am naturally willing to give you this opportunity. However, Su Nian, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you. Can you use the Heaven-Reaching Technique that you used that day again?"
All the elders' eyes fell on Su Nian.
Liu Yun's eyes were also fixed on Su Nian.
"Second Elder, this technique is powerful but has many limitations. I do not wish to use it unless absolutely necessary," Su Nian replied, bowing.
"I see..." The Second Elder showed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Su Nian was telling the truth. Last time, he not only fought against the Nine Heavens Thunder head-on, but also tore a hole in the sky. If he were to appear again, it would surely incur the wrath of the heavens.
What he needs to do now is to hide himself as much as possible and avoid being targeted by the Heavenly Dao.
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She had just finished mocking Su Nian. If Su Nian held a grudge, she would be in big trouble.
“However…” Su Nian glanced meaningfully at Liu Yun, “Although this secret technique has some limitations, it is still possible to use it even a little bit.”
Liu Yun smirked, crossed her arms, and scoffed disdainfully, "You dare to lay a hand on me?"
Su Nian opened her palm. "If you keep acting like a jerk, then who knows?"
"What did you say?!" Liu Yun's eyes widened.
"You dare call me a jerk? Is that how you talk to me, the Third Elder?"
Su Nian revealed a dangerous smile, "Speaking of which, you used to be quite close to Ye Hua, right? Now that Ye Hua has been confirmed to be colluding with the demons, I wonder what you, the old woman who treated him like her own son, think about this?"
"You...who are you implying!" Liu Yun pointed at Su Nian, furious. She looked at Li Bingxin and sneered, "Bai Yu! Is this the disciple you taught? How can she be so disrespectful?"
Li Baiyu rubbed his forehead, feeling extremely troubled. "Senior Sister Liu, don't be unreasonable. Because of your previous relationship with Ye Hua, many people outside are now questioning you, including many elders and disciples within the Quanxiu Sect. If you don't want to make too many enemies, it's better to behave yourself."
"You...you all!" Liu Yun was furious. She swept her gaze across everyone's faces, flicked her sleeves, snorted coldly, and left.
After Liu Yun left, the Second Elder came to Su Nian's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart, she's just a little crazy."
Su Nian smiled slightly, "If I really took it to heart, she wouldn't have left so easily."
The Second Elder remained silent for a long time.
If Su Nian dares to say that, then it proves that he truly has that ability.
"By the way, what are your plans for the Immortal Seeking Ceremony?" the Second Elder hurriedly changed the subject.
Su Nian smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes."
After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder finally nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave it all to you. It just so happens that Senior Sister Hong is free recently, so I'll have her accompany you. Since it's inconvenient for you to show your strength, then let her keep things in order."
