Chapter 367 There is no such thing as a person who is born to be possessed by evil!
When Shao Wenqin's Spiritualization Stage puppet substitute ambushed the two Spiritualization Stage supreme elders of the Yunxiao Sect, her Nascent Soul Stage puppet substitute, who was hiding near the place where tens of thousands of mortals lived, also took the opportunity to act.
If the Supreme Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, who is at the Spirit Transformation Stage, does not take action, no one in the Yunxiao Sect can stop Shao Wenqin's puppet substitute, who is at the Nascent Soul Stage.
If it weren't for the fact that the Yunxiao Sect had used ruthless means to infect half of the mortals with an epidemic, which prevented Shao Wenqin from reacting in time, she would have rescued them long ago, instead of waiting until now and only being able to rescue half of the population.
With the death of two supreme elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the Yunxiao Sect fell into turmoil. How could they care about the tens of thousands of mortals who were taken hostage?
After receiving the news that the hostages had been basically rescued, the Yunxiao Sect Master reported the news to the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder was looking at the two extinguished soul lamps in silence. After receiving the report from the Yunxiao Sect Master, he just sighed and said, "Forget it, let's end this matter here."
Before, they took those tens of thousands of mortals as hostages, hoping to lure Shao Wenqin out. However, they lured her out, but they were unable to defeat her at all, and they also lost two supreme elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage in a surprise attack.
Now there are only three of them left. They dare not act rashly again until they figure out how Shao Wenqin killed the two powerful God Transformation Stage masters and find a way to restrain him.
Therefore, even if Shao Wenqin took those mortals away openly, the Yunxiao Sect would not dare to say a word.
This is the world of immortal cultivation, where strength is supreme and the strong are respected.
Shao Wenqin rescued tens of thousands of mortals by carrying the magical treasure in his pocket, and was also prepared for the pursuit by the Yunxiao Sect. Unexpectedly, the Yunxiao Sect seemed to be unaware and did not take any action.
This made Shao Wenqin wonder if the Yunxiao Sect was planning a big move, so she was very cautious and did not let her puppet substitute look for her real body.
Shao Wenqin's real body asked Si Yuan for advice: "Dad, I rescued the remaining mortals, how should I place them?"
We can't keep people in the magical cave forever. It's not suitable for people to live normally there. It's okay to stay there for a short time, but it won't work if you stay there for a long time.
But there was no way she could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Even though Shao Wenqin is a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, this kind of resettlement work cannot be accomplished by sheer strength alone; sufficient manpower is also required.
Si Yuan simply suggested: "Just send them back to their hometown and let them return to their original lives."
Shao Wenqin was stunned and hesitated: "But the Yunxiao Sect..." What if the Yunxiao Sect refuses to let them go and captures them again?
Si Yuan saw the reason for Shao Wenqin's hesitation at a glance, and he explained: "You killed two powerful masters of the Yunxiao Sect in the Spiritualization Stage this time. Although they hate you, you also scared them. Otherwise, if you rescued these mortals, the Yunxiao Sect would not have been silent. The main purpose of the Yunxiao Sect to capture these mortals is to lure you out. They don't really expect you to surrender for the lives of these mortals. And now your strength is far beyond the imagination of the Yunxiao Sect. The Yunxiao Sect would rather you stop coming to kill them, so how could they touch these mortals again?"
Shao Wenqin suddenly understood and nodded in agreement: "So that's how it is. Then I will send these mortals back to their hometowns."
Shao Wenqin controlled the Yuanying stage puppet substitute and sent the mortals in the cave spiritual treasure back to their hometown.
However, since they were all released back at the same time, it was impossible to deliver to everyone's doorstep, so they had to find their own home by themselves.
Fortunately, even if they were captured by the Yunxiao Sect, they were captured collectively. The leaders among these mortals were still alive and were able to manage these mortals and allow them to return home in an orderly manner.
As for the other half of the mortals who died, there is nothing that can be done. After all, they died of illness. The mortals who are unaware of the inside story can only mourn for their bad luck for their relatives and friends who died of illness.
From the beginning to the end, ordinary people had no idea how much the high-ranking immortal cultivators had gambled around their lives.
They thought that they were captured by the immortals of the Yunxiao Sect because there were demon cultivators among them. They temporarily settled outside the immortal city near the foot of the Yunxiao Sect mountain and unfortunately encountered an epidemic. Fortunately, the immortals of the Yunxiao Sect saved the remaining half of them. Finally, the immortal sent them all back to their hometown, and the hidden danger of the evil cultivators should have been resolved.
These mortals only regarded their bizarre experience as a topic of conversation in life, without realizing that they had returned from a trip to the gates of hell.
Tens of thousands of mortals returned to their hometowns to live again. With so many people and such a big movement, it was natural that the Yunxiao Sect could not be concealed.
After the Yunxiao Sect received the news, just as Si Yuan had guessed, they did not dare to touch these mortals anymore, for fear of luring Shao Wenqin to the Yunxiao Sect to start a massacre.
Although they were confident that no matter how strong Shao Wenqin was, he was not strong enough to break through the Yunxiao Sect's mountain protection formation, otherwise Shao Wenqin would not have chosen to sneak attack the Yunxiao Sect's supreme elder, but would have directly attacked the Yunxiao Sect head-on.
But they did not dare to bet whether Shao Wenqin had other means to cause great damage to Yunxiao Sect. After all, there was a formation master behind Shao Wenqin. It was still unknown whether their Yunxiao Sect's mountain protection formation could defend against that formation master.
Feeling insecure, the Yunxiao Sect did not dare to act rashly. Even though their two supreme elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage died at the hands of Shao Wenqin, they did not dare to seek revenge.
Fortunately, the Yunxiao Sect blocked the news tightly enough, mainly because the two supreme elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage who died at the hands of Shao Wenqin died too cleanly. There was no so-called earth-shattering battle, and no corpses or bones were left behind. The news was only known to Shao Wenqin and the Yunxiao Sect, the two parties involved, and a high priest of the Demon Star Sect who was hiding nearby and peeping.
Shao Wenqin did not release the information, the Yunxiao Sect took the initiative to block the news, and the high priest was still watching and did not dare to act rashly, so the news that two supreme elders of the Yunxiao Sect in the Spirit Transformation Stage had died was blocked.
The blockade was only external, and the top leaders of Yunxiao Sect knew about it. They were in a panic and dared not confront Shao Wenqin, so everything seemed calm.
As one of the high-ranking officials who knew about the situation, Sect Master Yunxiao had already begun to think about passing on the throne to his eldest disciple Feng Yuxu.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Yunxiao Sect was on the decline. The position of Sect Leader was like a target, and he felt really uneasy sitting there.
Moreover, he has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage for many years. If he doesn't find a way to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, the shorter his lifespan, the lower the possibility of a breakthrough.
Now that even a supreme elder at the Spirit Transformation Stage could perish, he, a mere Yuanying Stage peak elder, felt too insecure.
Therefore, Sect Leader Yunxiao was eager to get rid of his position as Sect Leader and work hard to improve his strength and enhance his ability to protect himself.
The reason why Feng Yuxu was chosen as the successor to the sect leader was, firstly, because the Yunxiao sect leader had seen that the survival skills of several supreme elders were equally good, so Feng Yuxu's survival skills could not be the reason for his failure to be selected; secondly, because he felt that the Yunxiao sect was in a bad situation, and Feng Yuxu, a disciple who was good at survival skills, might have a greater chance of survival if he became the sect leader.
Yunxiao Sect found a time when the Grand Elder did not seem to be in a bad mood and reported the matter to him: "This junior wants to retreat and break through the bottleneck of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so he wants to give up the position of Sect Leader. This junior disciple Feng Yuxu is the most outstanding and most excellent disciple of this generation..."
The Grand Elder listened to his words silently and said casually: "In that case, let's choose Feng Yuxu."
The Grand Elder didn't care at all who would be the Sect Master. After all, when the Yunxiao Sect's several Grand Elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage were not in seclusion, the right to speak was all in the hands of these powerful Spirit Transformation Stage warriors. The Sect Master was just a manager, and he just had to obey orders and do his work. He didn't need to have his own opinions, nor did he need to be very strong.
To put it bluntly, when several supreme elders in the Spirit Transformation Stage were in power, the leader of the Yunxiao Sect was just a mascot.
It doesn't matter who you choose, anyone can be the leader even if they tie a dog to their position.
As for the three remaining Yunxiao Sect's supreme elders in the God Transformation Stage who continue to retreat, they will not do so again until the crisis is resolved. At least one God Transformation Stage expert must be left behind to take charge of the board of directors.
The reason why Sect Master Yunxiao wanted to resign was also very legitimate - he wanted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The Yunxiao Sect had just lost two great elders in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and was in urgent need of replenishment of combat power. The great elder of course supported the breakthrough of the Yunxiao Sect Master. If he succeeded in breaking through, the Yunxiao Sect would be able to regain another great elder in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so that the loss would not be too great and would not affect the dominant position of the Yunxiao Sect in the world of immortal cultivation.
The Yunxiao Sect Master had not expected that his succession would be approved by the Grand Elder so smoothly. Although he was puzzled, since the Grand Elder agreed, it couldn't be better.
After Sect Master Yunxiao respectfully took his leave, he immediately convened a meeting of the elders and announced the news that Feng Yuxu would be the next Sect Master.
The Yuanying stage elders were in an uproar. After all, it was not yet time for the Yunxiao Sect Master to abdicate. He suddenly abdicated ahead of schedule and passed the position of Sect Master to Feng Yuxu without asking for their opinions at all. Wasn't this too much of a disregard for them?
Generally speaking, the selection of the successor to the sect leader is decided by a vote of the sect leader and the elders. The sect leader's vote certainly carries more weight, but it is not impossible for the elders to veto the sect leader's decision if they are unanimous.
Therefore, it is impossible for Sect Leader Yunxiao to have the final say, as the elders will never allow it.
The leader of the Yunxiao clan looked at the infuriated elders and said calmly, "This candidate was decided by the Grand Elder."
The voices of opposition that had just been rising one after another suddenly became silent as if something was strangled at the throat.
The elders were silent for a few moments, then said, "Agree."
