“Perhaps he’s in a good mood. Look at his Cloud Boat. He heard someone was flying a Cloud Boat nearby and chased after them. He probably killed that person and took the Cloud Boat, which is why he’s so happy.”
“No wonder he didn’t make a move today. That’s truly a blessing, otherwise, it would have been troublesome to be targeted by that guy.”
While these people were secretly cursing Wu Ren, Qin Xuan was constantly showing off nearby.
He actually wanted to go directly to the Council Hall, but Wu Ren was such a hothead who loved to show off anything he got, so he could only bite the bullet and do it.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been Wu Ren’s style.
If he had obtained such a large Cloud Boat and kept a low profile, others would only find it abnormal.
“A bunch of trash! Haven’t you even seen a Cloud Boat? You’re truly idiots!”
On the Cloud Boat, Qin Xuan loudly mocked the people looking at the Cloud Boat.
His original personality wasn’t like this, but according to Wu Ren’s character, he always acted so overbearingly, completely disregarding the feelings of others.
Therefore, doing so actually didn’t raise any suspicion.
After circling the stronghold once, amidst the public flattery and private mockery, a Tianfu Sect Disciple hurried over.
“Young Sect Master, the Elders have asked you to come to the Council Hall.”
Elders? Council Hall?
Qin Xuan frowned.
It seemed there was truly something important to discuss.
“Lead the way!”
Putting away the Cloud Boat, Qin Xuan imperiously ordered.
Listening to Qin Xuan’s words, the Disciple dared not delay and hastily led the way to the Council Hall.
Upon arriving at the Council Hall, two rows of Elders were already seated in the center of the hall, and the Grand Elder of the Tianfu Sect, Xu Feng, was seated in the main seat in the very center.
Seeing Qin Xuan walk in, Xu Feng snorted coldly.
“I heard you struck it rich? You went alone to intercept a Cloud Boat and succeeded?”
Qin Xuan swaggered directly to the first seat below Xu Feng’s, sat down, and crossed his legs.
“Grand Elder’s news travels fast. I just got this treasure and the Elder already knows about it, but I must make it clear, I obtained this myself, and the Sect is not allowed to reclaim it.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Xu Feng slammed his hand on the armrest.
“You idiot! The Legacy is about to open, and you’re still parading around like this. Aren’t you afraid of our plans here being discovered?”
“Putting everything else aside, if any news leaks to the Shenfu Sect, our Tianfu Sect won’t be able to rise again for nearly a hundred years. Yet, you, for your own petty gains, disregard the life and death of the Sect.”
At this point, Xu Feng’s expression grew increasingly grim.
Qin Xuan, of course, knew that Xu Feng was right.
Putting everything else aside, the actual situation was that Wu Ren was dead, directly replaced by Qin Xuan.
However, he was currently playing the part of Wu Ren, the prodigal son, so he certainly wouldn’t agree readily.
“Grand Elder is truly overstating things. It’s a trivial matter. You’re just envious that I got a Cloud Boat. At worst, I’ll lend it to your grandson and his friends to play with for a few days.”
“Oh, and Fourth Elder, I still need to enjoy your beloved concubine for a few more days. I’ll send her back to you then.”
Qin Xuan looked at the Fourth Elder on the other side, a lewd smile appearing on his face.
“You!”
The Fourth Elder was furious.
But his cultivation was only at the Jade Clarity Realm Eighth Level. Although stronger than Wu Ren, he was far inferior to Wu Ren’s grandfather.
Wu Ren relied on his Shangqing Realm grandfather to be so arrogant and overbearing.
Although Qin Xuan spoke arrogantly, after soul-searching, Qin Xuan was still full of admiration that Wu Ren could have survived.
This kid habitually bullied men and women.
Putting everything else aside, when this Fourth Elder took a concubine a while ago, Wu Ren went to the wedding feast and took a fancy to the bride.
Thus, on that very night, the Fourth Elder did not enter the bridal chamber; it was Wu Ren who entered the bridal chamber.
Normally, if this kid continued to act this way, he would sooner or later be secretly eliminated by people within the Sect.
Qin Xuan merely performed his ceremony in advance.
“Enough, stop talking about useless things. Since the Young Sect Master has returned safely, let’s discuss the main business.”
An Elder changed the subject.
Xu Feng snorted coldly and began to make arrangements.
“Just recently, through the efforts of our Sect and the Earth Talisman Sect, the last layer of defense of the Legacy has begun to loosen. If all goes well, this last layer of defense can be resolved within three days.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately invigorated.
Qin Xuan also couldn’t help but nod.
This was for the best.
Although he had searched Wu Ren’s memories and obtained many useful things from them.
He was not Wu Ren after all, and could not truly replace him.
The longer the time, the higher the possibility of exposure.
Qin Xuan would not gamble on such a possibility.
So he had to leave here as soon as possible, and absolutely could not delay for too long.
“Since that’s the case, what are we waiting for? Everyone should prepare in advance. When we go in, we’ll just search for the Legacy inside.”
An Elder said excitedly, rubbing his hands together, clearly looking forward to it.
However, the Grand Elder beside him shook his head.
“We cannot do that. If so many of us rush in, it will become chaotic. Besides, this was discovered by our two families together, so I discussed it with the Grand Elder of the Earth Talisman Sect.”
“To avoid alarming too many people, and to avoid attracting the attention of the Shenfu Sect, after the Legacy opens, most of the defenses will remain, leaving only one passage for entry and exit. Both sides will send a portion of their people into the Legacy.”
“Because the Legacy is also full of dangers, those who enter risk falling.”
“What those sent in obtain, half will go to them personally, and the other half will be submitted to the Sect. After returning, the Sect will also provide compensation.”
Listening to these words, the many Elders present frowned.
This proposal did not align with their hopes, but it was currently the most reasonable method.
Nothing else, if too many people went in, they would eventually fight over things, and the two Sects would definitely come to blows!
Even if they tried to mediate, it would be useless.
“Since both sides will send teams, our Tianfu Sect must select some suitable people to enter.”
Saying that, Xu Feng looked around.
“How do we select? This might be the Legacy of a Talisman Grandmaster, everyone wants to obtain it.”
An Elder said, and not just him, others were also rubbing their hands together, eager to try.
“To prevent everyone from turning on each other inside, Elders are not allowed to enter this time, only Disciples can enter. Of course, Elders, rest assured, if any Disciple obtains good things, they will be submitted to the Sect, and when they return to the Sect, your share will naturally not be forgotten.”
As Xu Feng spoke, the Elders who had objections also said nothing more.
As long as they could get a share of the things, it didn’t matter if they, the Elders, couldn’t enter.
