Chapter 767
The three of them stayed in Cang Yan Immortal City with peace of mind, waiting for the situation to change.
Less than half a month later, a rumor appeared in the Immortal City and spread rapidly in a short period of time. It was that the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan had already fallen. However, the Immortal Palace high-level officials headed by Palace Master Fan blocked the news and tried to take over the Immortal Palace for themselves.
Qin Zichuan got the news from Tianji Pavilion as soon as the rumor appeared. For this reason, Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu even went to restaurants and teahouses, which were such information distribution centers, to sit down and indeed heard many cultivators talking about it.
The attitudes of the cultivators in this city were divided into two groups. One group thought it was nonsense. How could the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan die? You have to know that the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan was very powerful and his life span had not yet reached its end. He would not die even if others died. The other group thought that with the wolfish ambitions of Fan's group of high-level officials, the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan seemed to have not appeared for a long time. Maybe there was really an accident. Palace Master Fan and his people deliberately blocked the news. Isn't it because they want to steal the Immortal Palace for themselves?
Because once the news is made public, the Immortal Palace will definitely choose a new successor for itself. At that time, heroes from all walks of life will gather in the Immortal City to compete for the ownership and recognition of the Immortal Palace.
Because they were worried that the Cang Yan Emperor had really had an accident, the people in the Cang Yan Immortal City were in a panic. Even though the Cang Yan Emperor was aloof and didn't like to manage trivial affairs, as long as he was there, he was the backbone of the Cang Yan Immortal Domain. But if he was gone, who knew what kind of situation would appear in the Cang Yan Immortal Domain? What kind of temperament would the next master of the Immortal Palace have? This was directly related to the cultivators in the Immortal City.
The three of them stayed in the box and listened to the discussions of the cultivators outside. Yuan Jing said, "This rumor undoubtedly came from outside. Those palace masters should be the last ones who want this news to leak out. It is best to wait until the new master of the Immortal Palace is determined before announcing the news."
Qin Zichuan nodded: "Yes, it came from outside. By the way, I just got new news. After the rumor spread, the big forces in the Immortal City did not panic, but they made more small moves in private, so Tianji Pavilion suspected that they had already secretly taken sides."
If they were unaware of the incident beforehand and it happened suddenly, they would be the ones who would be most panicked, because their interests are more closely related to the change of the Lord of the Fairy Palace.
Yue Chenchu smiled and said, "So they will act in advance, right?"
Qin Zichuan nodded again: "It's possible. They are worried that external forces will intervene."
Because of the temperament of the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan, he does not have a close relationship with the palace masters below, and he does not care about how their cultivation is or whether they have been promoted. As long as they manage the Immortal Palace and the Immortal Realm honestly, it will be enough. This also leads to the fact that the strength of these palace masters below is not particularly strong in the entire fairy world.
Therefore, once the news of the death of the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan spreads, it is conceivable that strong men from all directions will flock to the Cang Yan Immortal City to compete for that position. In front of the position of the Lord of the Immortal Palace, all cultivators are equal, and only strength speaks.
Therefore, once other powerful people arrive, the advantage of Palace Master Fan and his men will drop rapidly, so they will definitely be anxious, and once anxious, they will want to take action in advance, but can the situation develop as they wish?
Hall Master Fan was indeed anxious: "Could it be that bastard named Yan who spread the news? Since he can't get that position, he wants to muddy the waters so that I can't get it either? Damn Yan Ming."
"Palace Master, we can't wait any longer. Once other forces intervene, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
"That's right, please make a decision as soon as possible." This was the advice of the disciples of the Fan family. To the Fan family, they were more eager than anyone else to see the ancestor take that position so that the Fan family could soar to the sky from then on.
When the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan was alive, what were these Hall Masters? The Immortal Emperor Cang Yan was the most ruthless. Once a Hall Master was displeased by him, he could immediately withdraw and send him to the edge. When the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan was alive, Hall Master Fan and the Fan family were really conscientious and did not dare to have any crooked ideas. When it was confirmed that the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan had fallen, the suppressed courage of the Fan family finally swelled up, and now it can no longer be taken back.
So they can't retreat but advance, that position is reserved for the Fan family!
Palace Master Fan had a feeling that the situation was out of control, but as the Fan family had expected, he had no chance to retreat and could only take another step forward. He originally wanted to wait for some time, until his cultivation level improved a little, but now those people outside were forcing him.
Palace Master Fan asked solemnly, "Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"
"Grandmaster, everything is ready. Thanks to the opening of the Yuxu Secret Realm five years ago, many good things flowed out. In addition, the Wang Family, the Liu Family, and the Duobao Building of Xingyu Commercial Bank also donated some. Now we have finally gathered everything and are just waiting for you to take action."
"Okay, give me the things, and we will take action tomorrow."
"Yes, Ancestor (Palace Master)!" The subordinates and members of the Fan family responded loudly, extremely excited. After Palace Master Fan was promoted from Palace Master to Palace Master, the status of their followers and clansmen would also be greatly improved. Not to mention other things, Palace Master Fan's trusted followers, after Palace Master Fan accomplished his mission, they would at least be able to become Palace Masters.
As soon as Palace Master Fan made the decision, Palace Master Yan received the news that they had infiltrated each other over the years.
Palace Master Yan listened to his subordinates' report and sneered, "The old fellow surnamed Fan thought that I was the one who spread the news? He really overestimated me and himself. Did he really think we could do it without anyone knowing?"
Palace Master Yan knew that it was actually because after the death of Immortal Emperor Cang Yan, several palace masters reached an agreement to jointly manage the Immortal Palace. Since then, everyone became more and more arrogant, thinking that the Immortal Palace was really under their control. Little did they know that other Immortal Palaces had already suspected the situation of Immortal Emperor Cang Yan.
"Palace Master, we have to stop Palace Master Fan and the others. They won't succeed!" The subordinate was a little anxious.
Yan Ming glanced at them and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why do you think we have reached an agreement to jointly manage this Immortal Palace since we confirmed that the Palace Master has passed away? Why are we not in a hurry to seek the position of Palace Master? That's because we didn't have the ability to be recognized by the Palace Monument at that time. Over the years, we have been accumulating strength to the point where we can be recognized by the Palace Monument."
"Unfortunately, the time we were given was still too short. Although several secret realms have been opened over the years and many natural treasures have flowed out, it is still a little short. So I guess that Fan has collected a lot of treasures and wants to take a gamble at the last minute. If he succeeds, he will be the new palace master. If he fails? Ha!"
"What will happen if we fail?" the subordinates asked in surprise. They knew nothing about these matters and now they understood why the several hall masters had tacitly agreed not to take action.
"If we fail, our cultivation will be damaged and our strength will decline. You said that we are fighting like chickens now. Once our strength is damaged, can we still leave this fairy city alive?"
Although they have reached an agreement to jointly manage the Immortal Palace, the interests involved are too great, so there have been many fights over and under the table. The original disagreements between the several palace masters have become more angry. What will be the fate of the loser? They will be killed by their former competitors.
Therefore, Palace Master Yan was much more cautious. He could not afford such a big risk. He had put in so much effort to get to this point, and he did not want to gamble his entire fortune and life. So he wisely chose to join the outside forces. They had reached an agreement in private that the other party would help him seize the position of Palace Master as long as he paid some price afterwards.
When he becomes the new Palace Master, what will a small price mean? So Yan Ming thinks this deal is very worthwhile. It is because he has co-managed the Immortal Palace with several others that he knows how much benefit the entire Immortal Domain can bring.
However, he did not reveal this matter even to his subordinates, because there are no secrets in this fairy palace, and he did not want to reveal his cards too early.
"The Palace Master is wise." The subordinates looked at each other. They didn't want their Palace Master to become a loser, as they would then be the force to be eliminated.
Yan Ming added: "But we still have to pretend to do it, so that the old man won't get suspicious. Let's have someone keep an eye on him. Once he starts to act, we'll rush over to stop him, but we don't have to kill him."
"Yes, Palace Master."
On the second day, Palace Master Fan, who was well prepared, brought his people to the place where the Palace Stele was placed. The Palace Stele was the core hub for controlling the entire Immortal Palace. They had been here many times over the years, both to indirectly control the Immortal Palace by using the power of the Palace Stele and to study the Palace Stele. They wanted to study it thoroughly and figure out how to refine it and take it for themselves.
Pushing open the door, seeing the suspended stone tablet and the huge magic formation in the hall, Palace Master Fan's eyes welled up with excitement. He was finally here again.
The black and gold stele is inextricably linked to the intricate formation below, and it exudes a cold luster, but it is the most beloved by these palace masters. Whoever possesses it owns the entire fairy palace and the huge fairy palace, and can also sit on equal footing with the masters of other fairy palaces.
"You stay outside and don't let anyone in! Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
Yan Ming glanced outside, brushed his sleeves, and smiled: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off and meet Palace Master Fan."
Two other hall masters also set off. They also received the news and were determined not to let Fan succeed.
Over the years, the masters of each hall have fought with each other, and now only four of the original hall masters are left. The other hall masters did not withdraw, but died in the fierce fighting.
Qin Zichuan ran back to the inn where he was staying and said, "They have taken action. Tianji Pavilion discovered that the strong men from several major forces in the city have all rushed to the Immortal Palace. They must have chosen this time to take action."
"Okay, let's go and watch the fun."
"Aren't we going to fight for the palace stele?" Qin Zichuan thought to himself that something was wrong. They were not here to watch the fun.
Yue Chenchu sneered: "The other protagonists haven't appeared yet, the show hasn't reached its climax yet, now is not the best time to take action."
