Elder Liang smiled and shook his head, as if he had a clever plan of his own.
"You have no association, but I do! I’ve met Duanmu Han, the Second Elder of the Duanmu Family, several times, and we’ve shared drinks and formed a deep friendship."
The other disciples suddenly became excited, immediately seeing a glimmer of hope for revenge.
"The Duanmu Family, they’re the top noble family in Qinglan Prefecture!"
"Yes, they alone have four Spirit Platform Realm elders!"
"If they were to take action, even the combined forces of the Four Great Sects couldn’t stop them!"
"Elder Liang, please step forward quickly..."
Little did they know, Elder Liang’s words were merely made up.
Duanmu Han was already at the Spirit Platform Realm Third Layer; why would he care about an ordinary sect elder at the Soul Splitting Realm Fifth Layer?
Elder Liang had indeed seen Duanmu Han before, but it was from afar among the crowd, with no eligibility to converse.
However, he wasn’t worried, as these disciples currently had no means of exposing him.
After taking the resources, who would be able to find him?
"You’re imagining things too beautifully. How revered is the Duanmu Family? Such a noble family wouldn’t act lightly. Even with my relationship, all I can get is just one opportunity."
"Then, what does Elder Liang mean..."
"If you want them to make a move, you must offer enough reward as a sign of respect for such a great family!"
Everyone glanced at their rings and spiritual artifacts, understanding his meaning—they were to be offered.
Elder Liang seized this opportunity and urged them strongly!
"As long as you all contribute a bit, and I personally bring them over, they will be moved for sure. By then, the three Spirit Platform Realm figures from the Duanmu Family would arrive, and the four sects of Extreme Moon Sect would be wiped out with no effort at all!"
Seeing the disciples hesitating, he even used a provocation technique.
"Didn’t you just say you’d do anything for the master’s revenge?"
He sneered coldly, "What, you’re unwilling to part with just a few storage rings?"
"It seems your master chose the wrong people and taught a bunch of ingrates!"
No one can bear such a heavy accusation; Luo Yuan and Yin Xuer quickly took off their rings and spiritual artifacts.
"Uncle Master, can these resources really make the Duanmu Family take action?"
"What if they take the rings but don’t act?"
"Yeah, we’re worried they’ll have greedy intentions too."
Elder Liang’s face turned stern: "Are you doubting the relationship between me and Duanmu Han?"
He brushed his sleeve angrily.
"If that’s the case, then just forget it!"
Luo Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to appease him.
"Uncle Master, you overstate it, I’ll give you the Jiu Jue Sword to take with you..."
"That’s more like it!" Elder Liang’s face was filled with satisfaction.
With these things in hand, he certainly wouldn’t stay in Feiyun State any longer.
With over twenty shares of resources, reaching the Spirit Platform Realm in the future isn’t out of the question.
Just as he was about to accept, Ji Linghan stopped him.
"Uncle Master, actually we don’t need to ask the Duanmu Family for help to get revenge!"
The long sword that Luo Yuan was about to hand over was immediately withdrawn.
"What, Senior Sister, is what you said true?"
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, do you have a plan?"
All the disciples gathered around as well, aside from Elder Liang, Ji Linghan was the one they esteemed the most.
She was the direct disciple of the former sect leader; although not the oldest, due to her extraordinary talent of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body, she was always the head senior sister among these disciples.
Moreover, now without the sect’s protection and the master’s guidance, if they lost those resources, their future would effectively be ruined.
If it weren’t for being pressured by Elder Liang’s words, they wouldn’t have chosen that method.
Seeing the cooked duck flying away, Elder Liang’s face turned dark instantly, wishing he could strangle Ji Linghan.
"You have a plan? What plan could you possibly have? You’re nothing but Gathering Yuan Realm Eighth Layer yourself!"
"Could it be you have a connection with the Duanmu Family, can you climb that high?"
"Or perhaps you’ve been in private contact with some Sect Leader’s Disciple of Red Sun Sect? Can you pull them in?"
In his fury now, his words became filled with sarcasm.
Luo Yuan and others’ expressions changed as well.
Unhappily saying: "Uncle Master Liang, you’re going too far in speaking about Senior Sister Ji!"
"Yeah, why don’t we listen to what Senior Sister has to say first?"
Ji Linghan had always taken care of these junior brothers and sisters and was gentle in temperament, earning their support.
If the Feixian Sect hadn’t been destroyed, in a hundred years, the next Sect Leader would most likely be her.
Seeing that he was about to arouse public anger, Elder Liang had to suppress his hatred for the time being.
"Go ahead, what’s your plan?"
"My plan involves Elder Jiang Cheng!"
Ji Linghan turned to the side, reaching out to introduce him solemnly to everyone.
"This elder’s power is unfathomable; he has already agreed to take over as Sect Leader of Feixian Sect and will help us clear out the Four Great Sects!"
In such a scenario, Jiang Cheng certainly wouldn’t shy away.
This is a man destined to unite the Three Realms; such a small scene is trivial.
Luo Yuan and Yin Xuer’s earlier words and actions were all noticed by him; remembering to avenge the master indicates they’re not ungrateful.
Suffice it to say, they’ve basically earned his approval internally.
In his eyes, they were already considered his disciples.
So, he stepped forward and waved.
"Hey, hello everyone!"
"This... Senior Sister Ji, how did he become the Sect Leader?"
This news was quite sudden for everyone.
Ji Linghan understood that they couldn’t accept it upon first meeting.
"We all know the situation our Feixian Sect is in now. Taking over this burden at this time is akin to bringing fire upon oneself."
She was right, jumping out now to claim to be Feixian Sect’s Sect Leader is practically courting the hatred of the Four Great Sects.
Other people wouldn’t dare to take it.
"Just for this reason alone, I recognize Elder Jiang’s position as Sect Leader, not to mention he even saved my life..."
"Ah? He saved Senior Sister?"
Ji Linghan began recounting the pursuit by Yao Yunxuan and subsequent death of Yao Qiulin and others.
After this recount, the disciples gradually viewed Jiang Cheng with more favor.
"Turns out Elder saved Senior Sister, we were rude earlier!"
"Yes, truly grateful to Elder!"
"Elder, are you really willing to take charge of our Feixian Sect?"
Jiang Cheng could kill three Soul Splitting Realm elders, his power is exceptional.
Such feats, even the former Sect Leader couldn’t achieve.
Given the mess Feixian Sect is in now, it’s unthinkable to ignore such a beneficial alliance offered voluntarily.
"Of course, of course!"
Uniting the Three Realms must start from scratch, and he can’t have nobody under his command.
Jiang Cheng continuously cupped his hands in greeting; he wasn’t shy, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"
Elder Liang sneered, interrupting everyone.
He glanced at Jiang Cheng and curled his lip.
"You think this old man can’t tell? You’re just Soul Splitting Realm Fourth Layer."
His realm exceeded Jiang Cheng’s; he could discern realms at a glance.
"With that alone, you think you can kill Yao Qiulin, Xun Mingyou, Dai Xin?"
Ji Linghan hurriedly spoke for Jiang Cheng: "Uncle Master, those three truly died. If you don’t believe, you can go to the Forbidden Land now and find their corpses!"
Elder Liang laughed coldly: "Did you personally witness him battle those three?"
Ji Linghan was momentarily stunned.
