Chapter 13: Elder Liang’s Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Elder Liang smiled and shook his head, as if he had his own brilliant plan.

“You guys don’t have a relationship, but I do! I’ve met Duanmu Han, the second elder of the Duanmu family, several times. We drank and chatted happily together, and have since become friends.”

The other disciples immediately became excited when they saw the prospect of revenge.

“The Duanmu family is one of the top aristocratic families in Qinglan Prefecture!”

“That’s right, they even have four cultivators at the spiritual altar realm!”

“If they make a move, even if the four sects join forces again, they won’t be able to stop them!”

“Elder Liang, please act quickly…”

How could they know that elder Liang’s words were simply made up?

Duanmu Han was already at the third level of the spiritual altar realm, so how could he pay attention to an ordinary sect elder at the fifth level of the soul division realm.

Elder Liang had seen Duanmu Han before, but he had only seen him from afar amidst the crowd, so he was actually not qualified to speak to the latter at all.

However, he was not too worried. These disciples had no way to expose him currently anyway.

After snatching away the resources, who would be able to find him?

“You guys are dreaming too much. How respected is the Duanmu family? How could I get such an aristocratic family to act so easily? Even with my friendship, I will only get one chance to persuade them.”

“Then, elder Liang’s meaning is…”

“If you want someone to act, you must give them sufficient reason or reward to do so. This is how you show respect to a huge aristocratic family!”

“This…”

Everyone looked at their storage rings and spiritual artifacts and understood what he meant. He was going to hand them over to the Duanmu family.

Elder Liang struck while the iron was hot, and tried his best to persuade them.

“As long as you all gather the resources together and let me personally bring them over, I will definitely be able to get them to act. When the Duanmu family’s great spiritual altar realm cultivators arrive, the Extreme Moon sect, as well as the other three sects, can be destroyed with a flip of their hands!”

Seeing that the disciples were still hesitating, he even tried to goad them.

“Didn’t you say that you would do anything to avenge your master?”

He smiled coldly, “What? You can’t bear to part with a simple storage ring?”

“It seems that your masters misjudged people and ended up teaching a bunch of ungrateful b*stards!”

No one could bear such a vicious insult. Luo Yuan, Yin Xue’er and the rest quickly took off their storage rings and spiritual artifacts.

“Martial uncle, will the Duanmu family really help us if we give them these resources?”

“What if they keep these rings and don’t do anything?”

“Yeah, I’m afraid they might be greedy too.”

Elder Liang’s face turned stiff. “Don’t you believe in my friendship with Duanmu Han?”

He flicked his sleeve.

“If that’s the case, then forget it!”

Luo Yuan quickly went forward to comfort him.

“Martial uncle, you’re too kind. I’ll give you the Nine Ultimate Sword now…”

“That’s more like it!” Elder Liang was pleased.

He would not stay in Flying Cloud state after taking these things.

With the resources from these twenty or so core disciples, it was not impossible for him to cultivate to the spiritual altar realm in the future.

He was about to take it, but was stopped midway by Ji Linghan.

“Martial uncle, actually, we don’t need to beg the Duanmu family to take revenge on our behalf!”

Luo Yuan put away the sword that he had handed to her.

“What? Is what you said true, senior sister?”

“Yes, yes, senior sister, do you have any other methods?”

All the disciples gathered around. Apart from elder Liang, Ji Linghan was the most respected person in the group.

She was the direct disciple of the previous sect leader. Although she was not the oldest, she had become the eldest sister of the current generation of disciples thanks to her excellent talent and special physique.

Moreover, without the protection of the sect and the guidance of their masters, without these resources, their futures would be ruined.

Were it not for elder Liang’s words, they would not have chosen that method.

Seeing the cooked duck fly away, elder Liang’s face instantly darkened, and he wished that he could strangle Ji Linghan to death.

“You have a method? What can you even do? You are only at the eighth level of the yuan gathering realm!”

“Don’t tell me that you have a relationship with the Duanmu family? Do you think you can win them over?”

“Or do you have a secret relationship with one of the disciples of the leader of the Crimson Sun sect instead? Do you think you can win them over?”

He was so angry that he started uttering nonsense.

Luo Yuan and the others’ expressions changed.

They said unhappily, “Martial uncle Liang, you’re going too far by saying such things about senior sister Ji!”

“Yeah, why don’t we listen to senior sister’s opinion first?”

Ji Linghan had always taken care of these junior brothers and sisters. In addition, thanks to her gentle personality, she was very popular among them.

If the Flying Immortal sect had not been destroyed, she would probably become the next sect master within a hundred years.

Seeing that he was about to incur public outrage, elder Liang could only suppress his hatred first.

“Speak up, what do you have in mind?”

“My method is to rely on this senior Jiang Cheng!”

Ji Linghan turned around and extended her hand to introduce him to everyone.

“This senior’s abilities are unfathomable. He has agreed to take over as the sect master of the Flying Immortal sect and help us wipe out the four sects!”

Jiang Cheng would naturally not be afraid of standing out when placed in the spotlight like this.

After all, he was a man who was going to eventually unify the three realms in the future. Such a small occasion counted for nothing.

He had seen and heard the words and deeds of Luo Yuan and Yin Xue’er. If they could give up that much to avenge their masters, it meant that they were not ungrateful disciples.

They had basically gained his silent approval.

In his eyes, they were already considered as his disciples.

Therefore, he stood out and waved.

“Yo, hello!”

“Ah?”

“The sect master?”

“This… senior sister Ji, how did he become the sect master?”

This news was rather sudden to everyone.

Ji Linghan also understood that they could not accept such a thing so quickly.

“Everyone understands the current situation of our Flying Immortal sect. To be willing to take on this responsibility at this time is no different from drawing fire onto oneself.”

She was right. To jump out at this time and say that he was the sect leader of the Flying Immortal sect was simply akin to attracting the hatred and ire of the four sects.

Were it anyone else, they would not have dared to accept such a responsibility.

“Just based on this, I recognized senior Jiang’s position as the sect master, not to mention that he saved my life…”

“Ah? He also saved senior sister?”

“What happened?”

Ji Linghan told them about Yao Yunxuan’s pursuit, as well as the deaths of Yao Qiulin and the other elders.

After hearing this story, the disciples looked at Jiang Cheng with more approving gazes.

“So it turns out that senior Jiang saved senior sister. We were rude just now!”

“Yeah, we are all thankful to senior Jiang!”

“Is senior Jiang really willing to take over our Flying Immortal sect?”

Jiang Cheng was able to kill three soul division realm elders, so his strength could not be considered ordinary.

Even the previous sect leader might not have been able to accomplish such a thing.

Given the current mess the Flying Immortal sect was in, there was no reason for them not to accept the favor of an expert that came knocking on their door.

“Sure, sure, sure!”

To unify the three realms, he had to start from scratch. How could he not have people serving under him?

Jiang Cheng repeatedly cupped his hands. He was not an introvert, so the scene instantly turned harmonious.

“Laughable, truly laughable to the extreme!”

Elder Liang sneered and interrupted the festivities.

He glanced at Jiang Cheng and curled his lips.

“Do you think that this old man can’t see that you’re only at the fourth level of the soul division realm?”

His realm was higher than Jiang Cheng’s, so he could see through his realm with a single glance.

“Relying on just yourself, you managed to kill Yao Qiulin, Xun Mingyou, and Dai Xin?”

Ji Linghan hurriedly spoke up for Jiang Cheng, “Martial uncle, those three are really dead. If you don’t believe me, you can still find their corpses in the sealed land!”

Elder Liang smiled coldly. “And you saw him fight with those three with your own eyes?”

Ji Linghan felt stifled.
