Chapter 288
Chapter 288 - Liu Yuan's Note
Eyun had publicly announced the order to demote Vast Nether Hall Master from his position. His decisiveness and determination had truly shocked many people.
Before this, the Master of the Soaring Wisdom Sect of the current generation could be said to have little impression in everyone's eyes.
After all, before him, there was Zi Chen and Yin Fen who imprisoned devils. After him, there was the brilliant Song Na.
And everyone knew that it was because of Yin Fen's last will that he became the Sect Master. Otherwise, he would have been one of the true disciples of the previous generation of the Jade Void Sect. Eyun was also an ordinary person. He didn't even have the chance to become the Sect Master. Therefore, even Vast Nether Hall Master, Zhi Chunqiu, had a better reputation than him. Originally, he was the one who had the highest chance of becoming the Sect Master. It was Vast Nether Hall Master.
Most of Eyun's Tribulation Passing Stage cultivation base was passed down to him by Yin Fen before he left. The other half was due to the inheritance of the Soaring Wisdom Sect's precious sword, the Xuan Shu Sword. The remaining half was his own.
It was because of this that he gave way to the other three palaces' masters. He felt guilty and guilty about not being worthy of his position. His weakness had turned the situation into a mess.
But now, two disciples who had experienced the same thing were being persecuted. Although Vast Nether Hall Master and the other two palace masters could be considered cunning and decisive, they were able to end the battle as quickly as possible. There were basically no loopholes in the matter before this, but Eyun was not a stupid person. Naturally, he could tell that it was Vast Nether Hall Master who was causing trouble.
Originally, Eyun didn't have the strength to fight back when Vast Nether Hall Master forced him to abdicate, but for some unknown reason, the Devil Cult's sudden attack had turned the situation around.
The series of events that followed had directly messed up Vast Nether Hall Master's plan, and every step he took was wrong. Now that Elder Qianhuo had represented the Rotten River Tower, it basically announced the destruction of Vast Nether Hall Master's plan.
Although he didn't know whether he had any backup plans or not, but…
At this moment, Eyun didn't want to continue being a muddleheaded old man. He wouldn't do anything for the rest of his life. Only a few disciples valued him the most. Now, he had almost lost two disciples in one breath. His anger, which he had been suppressing for the rest of his life, was instantly filled up, and he immediately launched an attack on Vast Nether Hall Master.
Vast Nether Hall Master's eyes were cold and gloomy, but it vanished in an instant under the gazes of everyone present. He bowed towards Eyun and said in a deep voice, “The Sect Master has given the order, so naturally, no one would dare to disobey. The Sect Guarding Grand Formation has lost its effectiveness for no reason. The invasion of the devil religion had caused the disciples to suffer heavy casualties. It was indeed the fault of the Vast Nether Hall. As Vast Nether Hall Master, I am willing to accept the punishment. “
Eyun didn't expect that he wouldn't have the slightest intention to resist. He just accepted his decision calmly and indifferently.
However, Eyun had already made up his mind. He only hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, “What about the others?”
The Scarlet Fire Hall Master's face changed slightly. He was dissatisfied. He wanted to argue for Vast Nether Hall Master, but Vast Nether Hall Master turned around and looked at him. He immediately kept silent.
Vast Nether Hall Master looked at the Palace Master and his subordinates and disciples. Although these people were unwilling, they all said in unison, “The Sect Master has ordered us to obey.”
Finally, it fell on the people from the other sects and Elder Qianhuo.
Did Vast Nether Hall Master not have any intention to resist?
Yes! He was so angry that he even burst out with killing intent in an instant, but he could clearly see that his mind was still clear.
In the current situation, Eyun was standing above the general trend. There were the envoys of the seven big sects and Rotten River Tower present. As a Master of the Soaring Wisdom Sect, he was also present. If the order was refuted by the people below, it would certainly damage the dignity of the Soaring Wisdom Sect. Furthermore, their plan was facing a huge crisis right now. It would be even worse if they got entangled with Eyun.
It would be better to let him go first and buy himself some time to carry out his next plan. At the same time, he would also give him a taste of the sweetness and let him relax his vigilance so that he wouldn't become more and more brave.
He didn't expect that this weak junior brother, who didn't have any schemes back then, would also play tricks on him.
Vast Nether Hall Master looked at the crowd that had dispersed and headed towards the Refreshing Hall to receive their punishment, but he sneered in his heart. But so what?
Even he didn't dare to be careless with Xu Xinhong's poison. Song Ru could be considered crippled today. The remaining disciples went into seclusion, and those who went out went out. The Verdant Pill Hall had completely lost its support, and those elders were all soft-hearted people who followed the flow. There was not even a single person who spoke, which meant that there was one less problem.
The Snowflake Mansion was indeed a professional. Their job of framing Song Na was foolproof. When these few sects went to investigate, they couldn't find any suspicious points. Now, they could only shout, “This matter is still suspicious.”
Vast Nether Hall Master's eyes were sinister. He looked at the jade-green flame mark in his hand and clenched his fist tightly.
It was time to contact the people of the Snowflake Mansion again.
If the plan went smoothly, regardless of whether the plan succeeded or failed, he would push all the responsibility onto the Snowflake Mansion. Perhaps, he could even eradicate one of the major evil sects in the Far East Sea and establish Zhi Chunqiu's prestige.
He would obtain everything that he had failed to obtain a few hundred years ago one by one.

Du Shuren's limpid eyes flickered with an orange glow that had been lit up by the light of the fire. There was a trace of anticipation and a deep tiredness on her face.
On the crimson stone that she raised high in her hand, she could vaguely see some patterns that resembled wings. At this moment, it was shining brightly and was surrounded by starlight.
In front of her was an ancient stone altar. The red flame rotated and formed a circle. It was like a lock that had been locked. The flame was blazing and then it was extinguished in the air. There was no sound at all.
“Chi.” The altar instantly turned into powder on the ground under Du Shuren's disappointed look.
The last trace of hope in her eyes also turned into ashes. Her expression dimmed as she held the stone and muttered, “Another fake.”
There were men, women, old and young people following behind Du Shuren. One of the girls could not help but say, “Young Patriarch, when the phoenix underwent nirvana, it left behind the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Formation. Over a hundred fake nests, it was hard to determine just by relying on a damaged Vermilion Bird Stone. Could it be that they really have to try one by one? If this continues, not only will it take a lot of time and effort, but our whereabouts will also be exposed. Once the people of Middle Continent discover our identities, I'm afraid…”
Another tall and strong middle-aged man berated, “Don't speak nonsense! The young patriarch is blessed by the heavens and has deep blessings. He will definitely find the Nirvana Secret Realm and save our Fusang Clan.”
The girl shut her mouth in embarrassment.
Du Shuren shook her head and put the Vermilion Bird Stone back into her embrace and put on the cloak on her body again.
Her figure was slender and graceful, and she had a pair of limpid eyes and long hair. She had a weak but tough temperament. She pursed her lips. She said, “Xi He is right. A few days ago, Uncle Bai discovered that there were people from Middle Continent following us. Originally, he had only wanted to use the dead horse as a doctor. He had wanted to try and beg Lord Phoenix to save his grandfather. I was too naive. If this continues, it will only be in vain. Let's go back. “
The girl named Xi He and the tall and strong middle-aged man were both stunned. They looked at a thin figure at the end of the line.
Xi He said dryly: “Someone is following us? Why didn't Uncle Bai mention…”
The thin figure raised his head, revealing a distorted face covered with scars. He said indifferently: “If I say it, how will we lure the person who is following us into the trap?”
When he said this, everyone in the team was shocked. They all took out their weapons in alert.
Uncle Bai turned his gaze and looked into the darkness. “However, it seems that there is no need to lure them.”
A woman in black suddenly walked out of the darkness and said, “Of course not. I'm just here to deliver a letter.”
Uncle Bai said, “Who will deliver a letter for?”
“The Snowflake Mansion of the Far East Sea.” The lady took out a piece of paper and handed it over. “Young Patriarch Yuan, please head to the No-Shadow Cliff to discuss the whereabouts of Shang Zhen Huang.”
Du Shuren's pretty face tensed up. She saw that Uncle Bai glanced at her but did not make a move. Then she carefully took the paper in her hand. After opening it, she saw the words “How are the effects of the two pieces of paper? Is that scary grandpa of yours okay?” Her gaze immediately focused and then immediately rolled it up. Putting it back into his sleeve, he said in a deep voice, “Please let me tell you… Master, Du Shuren will be here in a few days. “
In fact, holding the note, he was very surprised.
That man clearly didn't have any cultivation base a month ago, but now he suddenly became the master of Snowflake Mansion. Maybe he asked the master of the _ to give the order to send the message. It was unbelievable… But then he thought about it. That man could make the Saint treat him with respect. He must not be a simple man.
Du Shuren's face was slightly red. Furthermore, what was with his tone of voice that did not seem to differentiate between the two of them? What did he mean? What did he mean by “scary grandfather”? How could he say that? At that time, her grandfather even admired him quite a bit. He even mentioned that he wanted her to take this brat in as a servant under her skirt and thwart the one with the surname Xie.
Although grandpa immediately gave up and treated it as a joke, it left a ripple in Du Shuren's heart, who rarely interacted with the opposite sex.
Now was the time when she needed help the most, and it was actually this person who appeared again. It was as if the ripple spread out and merged back into her heart lake.
