Chapter 417: Abdication
September 9th, the seventy-sixth year of Anqing, this is a day destined to be remembered by the world of immortal cultivation.
Anqing is Zhao Hao's reign title, and this year is also the last year of Anqing, because...
Your emperor has passed away.
The person died in the morning, and the news spread all over the world at noon.
The most embarrassed are the Sword Sect and the Baili Family.
They made an appointment to meet with the royal family today. While the Shenxiao Sect was confronting the royal family, the people from the Jian Sect went to the capital to meet with the royal family. Those who understand will understand what this means.
Moreover, they were full of energy when they went out in the morning, especially Baili Shouxin.
He had also heard of the Ninth Princess Zhao Lingyu, and had also seen her once from afar in the Shenxiao Sect.
Originally, he thought the two had nothing in common, but it turned out that the royal family wanted to form an alliance with the Sword Sect and let him marry the Ninth Princess.
Happiness came so suddenly that he was excited for a long time.
As a result, before they had time to fully appreciate it, they heard that the emperor was dead halfway through the journey.
Honey, I can’t let you stand me up like this!
This put the Sword Sect in an awkward position.
No one expected that in the confrontation between the imperial court and the Shenxiao Sect, the imperial court would actually lose.
When the news reached the Sword Sect, everyone in the sect felt a little uneasy.
They are on the wrong side!
The other sects were even more afraid. Before, when they had heard about Lin Yu, the newly emerged top cultivator, they had not taken him too seriously and thought that he was just a little bit powerful.
But now, her strength has become a little scary.
She broke the conventional wisdom that those in the Knowing Fate realm would not die easily. If she could kill those in the Knowing Fate realm, wouldn't it be even easier for those in the Knowing Heaven realm?
Under panic, there is resistance.
After the news spread, under the leadership of the Sword Sect, Guanghan Palace, Lihuo Palace, Yuling Sect, and Bayin Temple jointly began to denounce the Shenxiao Sect.
For a time, the Shenxiao Sect was caught in a situation where it was surrounded by enemies all over the world.
Although the crowd was excited, Yu Xuan did not convene the Taoyuan Conference again. Instead, he announced that all major sects would be summoned to hold a conference on September 15th at Yuqing Mountain to discuss the current vacant throne and the decapitation operation launched by the Shenxiao Sect against the imperial court.
The other five righteous sects urgently united together. The reason was very simple: they were all worried that the Shenxiao Sect would rule the world on its own.
Moreover, no one had a magic weapon, but the Shenxiao Sect suddenly had two.
Many news cannot be concealed, such as the Gale Sword and the Thunder Sword. Fortunately, the Thunder Sword was taken away by the traitor Lin Yun, but Fang Yuyou accepted a new disciple, Zhao Lingyu, who got the royal Jiuzhou Ding.
Not only that, the Shenxiao Sect also had one more powerful Zhiming Realm warrior who surrendered to the imperial court. In other words, the Shenxiao Sect now had a total of three Zhiming Realm warriors and two magic weapons. In this world, if Yu Xuan had not come out, no one would be able to fight against the Shenxiao Sect.
If they don't join forces, they will probably be swept away by the Shenxiao Sect. After all, the world is no longer the same as before.
Following Zhao Hao's death, the royal orthodoxy emerged one after another.
Zhao Guang, the King of Jibei, was the most powerful group. He gathered the remaining three ministers of the court, raised the banner of revenge for his father, and stationed troops in Wangjing City.
The capital of the former Great Zhou was occupied by three major evil sects, and currently no one dared to challenge the alliance of these three evil sects.
The Five Righteous Sects welcomed the remaining princes and did not raise a flag for the time being, but with the Five Righteous Sects, they were enough to become a major force.
In other words, the Central Plains has changed from the original three-way split of good and evil, with the royal family neutral, to the current four-way split.
The power left by the royal family could barely be considered a major force. The five righteous sects, the three evil sects, the Shenxiao Sect, and the entire Great Zhou were torn apart.
The Taiqing Taoist Temple is aloof from the outside world and is not considered a big force, because everyone knows that the Taiqing Taoist Temple has no intention of competing for the world, otherwise, the world would have belonged to the Taiqing Taoist Temple long ago.
Therefore, it is reasonable not to include Taiqing Taoist Temple in this list.
The championship conference held by Taiqing Taoist Temple and the meeting to hold the Shenxiao Sect accountable for its beheading behavior have become the most watched issues at this stage.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was September 12th. There were only three days left until the Yuqing Mountain Alliance.
In Ziyun Mountain, in the main hall of Shenxiao Sect, many elders gathered together and the atmosphere was quite solemn.
Everyone was waiting for Fang Yu, who was sitting at the top of the table, to speak, but Fang Yu had been silent for a long time. She didn't speak, and no one else spoke either, and the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
Zhao Feng sighed leisurely. This world was indeed quite ironic. The Shenxiao Sect, which was dedicated to the public good, was instead suspected by the world because it had displayed such powerful strength.
No one knows that if there was no Shenxiao Sect, there would be an extra Netherworld Country in the world. It is said that one can achieve eternal life there, but it is obvious at a glance that it is not a good place. If eternal life could really be so easy, we would not have heard of anyone achieving eternal life for tens of thousands of years.
This is something that both ascetics and mortals are pursuing, but all signs indicate that there is no eternal life in the world, only longevity, and longevity also has its limits.
The attempt to gain eternal life through the underworld is indeed self-destruction.
After experiencing this incident, Zhao Feng finally gained enlightenment.
His premonition was correct. In order to maintain their long-term rule, the Zhao family committed heinous crimes. Karma is cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. This day has finally come.
Evil will be punished, and good should also be rewarded.
The Shenxiao Sect has made great contributions this time, so it is natural that its reputation has grown so much.
As for being suspected by the world, this does not have much impact. If the Shenxiao Sect can survive this challenge, it will become even stronger.
Zhao Feng has great confidence in the Shenxiao Sect. He thinks that the Sect Master must be thinking about countermeasures for the Yuqing Mountain Alliance in a few days!
Not only Zhao Feng, everyone thought so.
Although Fang Yu lost to Dongfang Hongyue that day and once again experienced betrayal by her disciples, her prestige in the Shenxiao Sect did not decline, but instead rose to a higher level.
After all, how can such a brave, benevolent and selfless leader not be respected and loved?
However, no one expected that at this time, this admirable sect leader was deserting his post.
She was not thinking about what to do at the Yuqing Mountain Alliance, she was thinking about Lin Yun.
The scene in her mind was still the one where Lin Yun kissed her forcefully that day and continued to make trouble for her.
It has been a few days, but this scene is still fresh in Fang Yu's mind, and she is still recalling how she felt at that time.
My body felt a little weird, but I was still very happy.
Apart from that, there is the worry about Lin Yun.
When Lin Yun left, no one knew where he went, nor did anyone know what dangers he would encounter.
"Does the Sect Master have any good ideas?"
Lin Yu finally couldn't help it. She felt vaguely that Fang Yu seemed to be distracted, so she spoke and broke the silence of the hall.
It's not a good idea to continue. Many things need to be discussed and a set of rules need to be worked out.
Fang Yu was stunned, and then he quickly said: "Liang can't calculate it. At this time, all the strategies are useless. What we need to consider is not how to face the criticism of the five sects, but what to do next."
Fang Yu is a sect leader after all. Although she herself feels that she is not very good at it, what she says at critical moments is still very sophisticated.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"In my opinion, we should go with the flow and rise up in rebellion. Aren't they afraid that we will sweep them away? Then let's do it!"
Elder Hornet has a bad temper. Coincidentally, no one in the Shenxiao Sect has a good temper.
Being led by the wasp, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and said, "That's right, let them see how powerful we are!"
Zhao Lingyu looked at the excitement of the crowd and felt very satisfied. The Shenxiao Sect had people's hearts to rely on!
Originally, she was not qualified to attend this elders' meeting, but she brought two priests with her, and Zhao Feng was still nominally loyal to Zhao Lingyu. This meant that he did not betray the royal family, but just changed his allegiance to a different person.
In short, it's all acceptable in terms of face.
Zhao Lingyu entered the Shenxiao Sect, and he also entered. This was a natural progression.
But Zhao Lingyu was able to attend this meeting not just because of the two priests, but because of her Jiuzhou Ding and the fact that she became Fang Yu's closed disciple.
Originally, she was Elder Fufeng's registered disciple and should have continued to worship Elder Fufeng as her teacher, but her situation was rather special, so Fang Yu made an exception and accepted her.
But in this way, Zhao Lingyu suddenly became Lin Yun's junior sister from Lin Yun's senior sister.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Fang Yu pressed his hands, and all the elders fell silent. Fang Yu looked around, then sighed and said, "I have something I want to tell you."
Everyone looked at Fang Yu with a serious face, not knowing what she was going to say, but they all had a bad feeling.
"I plan to step down as the leader and concentrate on my cultivation."
"metropolitan?!"
"Master, you can't do that!"
As soon as Fang Yu said he was going to step down, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Now is the time when the Shenxiao Sect is facing challenges. Changing the commander in the middle of a battle is the biggest taboo among taboos.
"You don't have to persuade me. Besides, I am only stepping down, not leaving the sect. I just feel that in times of change like this, you need a more courageous and wiser sect leader to lead you forward."
Seeing Fang Yu speak so firmly, the elders, although anxious, could also see Fang Yu's determination.
She really wants to abdicate.
Fang Yu is not greedy for power. Now that the Shenxiao Sect is thriving, Fang Yu chose to abdicate. He is a truly selfless leader.
"Then I wonder who the Sect Master has chosen to be the next Sect Master?"
Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Elder Fufeng simply accepted the result.
Speaking of this, the elders present became energetic again.
The time for the new to the old has come.
However, everyone felt that the next sect leader should be Lin Yu.
After all, no one else is qualified except Lin Yu. Although Lin Yu has only been in the sect for a short time, she has made a great name for herself in a short period of time. Her cultivation is extremely high, even surpassing the sect master. Not only that, she is also quite wise and is a true elder who combines strength and wisdom.
Zhao Lingyu was at a loss in the crowd.
My goodness! I just became the sect leader’s disciple, and he abdicated?
What a rip off?
ps: Since I got a girlfriend, I have less time to write and my hand speed has also slowed down. Alas, in short, I regret it very much. Dear readers, I am really sorry. I will go home tomorrow and stay at home for at least a week! I promise to keep my energy and update well.
