The remnant soul attempted to possess the old palace master's body, but the old palace master naturally refused to let it succeed, and the two fought fiercely, ultimately resulting in a mutually destructive outcome.
Seeing that his attempt to possess her body had failed, the evil cultivator secretly turned Huaiyu, who was being firmly protected by the old palace master, against him.
So, Huaiyu dealt a heavy blow to the old palace master who was completely unprepared for her, using the evil magic given to her by the evil cultivator to control the old palace master.
Perhaps fearing exposure afterward, or perhaps afraid of being blackmailed by the evil cultivator, she simply went all the way and killed the evil cultivator as well.
Then, she orchestrated a scheme that appeared to be the killing of Hua Shi, but in reality, she secretly imprisoned him.
The Nine Star Palace and the Immortal Decree were also passed down to her by the old palace master under her control.
However, the old palace master is, after all, the old palace master. Having been an immortal emperor for so many years, he has some means and abilities to protect himself.
At the last moment, the old palace master finally broke free from Huaiyu's restraints, seized the Immortal Token while Huaiyu was off guard, hid back in his cave, and opened all the restrictions.
The restrictions on the old palace master's cave were painstakingly created by successive palace masters of the Nine Star Palace over the years, and Huaiyu naturally could not break them.
Thus, although the Immortal Decree was ostensibly passed on to Huaiyu, it was actually still held by the old palace master and sealed away in that cave.
Just then, the other nine palaces did not approve of Huaiyu and planned to choose another Immortal Order Master. Huaiyu then turned the tables on them and thus kept the whereabouts of the Immortal Order a secret.
In any case, besides herself, only the holder of the Immortal Token, the old palace master, and Hua Shi, who was imprisoned by her, knew the whereabouts of the Immortal Token.
This is why, despite all the searching over the years, no one has been able to find the Immortal Token. It's simply not on her person, so how could it possibly be found?
To be honest, when Immortal Venerable Luo Feng, Lu Xu Jing Yao and the other two had heard the news, their expressions were somewhat complicated, since they had never even considered this possibility.
It can only be said that things are unpredictable, and they are in a different category of blind spots.
Now that they knew the whereabouts of the Immortal Token, they didn't delay and split into two groups. Immortal Venerable Luofeng Hou Yuanxun and He Xin stayed behind to guard the place.
Immortal Venerable Lu Xu and Immortal Venerable Jing Yao, carrying the token given to them by Hua Shi, along with Shu Shu and Lu Li, headed to the old palace master's secluded cultivation place.
The reason they brought Lu Li and Shu Shu along was because of their mysterious luck, especially Shu Shu's. They felt that having Shu Shu with them might make things go much smoother.
As everyone expected, the result was exactly as expected: the sweet potato accidentally opened the old palace master's secluded cave and found the old palace master himself and the immortal token at the deepest part of the cave.
However, they arrived too late. The old palace master had already perished, leaving only a wisp of his soul that had lost its memory, still upholding the wishes of its body's owner and guarding the Immortal Decree.
If they hadn't brought Hua Shi's token, there probably would have been a lot of arguing before they could take the Immortal Token away.
