Chapter 267: Young Master of Phoenix Medicine Sect
The head of the sect hadn't yet realized what Lin Zhao meant by this, but the elders who had always liked to read all kinds of news on the Tiantongjing Square could no longer hold back.
The fourth elder couldn't help but look at Lin Zhao intently, and this time he realized that the other person's appearance was obviously inconsistent with her bone structure.
The head of Qingyun Peak almost crushed the cup beside him: "Are you Lin Zhao, the one for whom Ji Wantang offered a reward of 100 million high-grade spirit stones?!"
He looked puzzled: "What Ji Wantang, what reward?"
The leader of Qingyun Peak, with a unhappy look on his face, briefly explained Ji Wantang's situation to the sect leader, as well as the bounty she had posted on the Tiantong Mirror.
The head of the sect smiled slightly and asked, "Is there any necessary connection between her reward for Lin Zhao and whether we decide on a successor?"
The head of Qingyun Peak said: "Ji Wantang is now the young master of Guangming Hall, the most powerful of the four giants in the Central Continent. If our Phoenix Medicine Sect identifies her enemy as the successor, it may attract Guangming Hall's targeting."
Although he is thick-skinned, he is not very courageous, especially since he owes too much money to those powerful people in the Central Continent. Therefore, the leader of Qingyun Peak knows too well what position Ji Wantang holds in the Central Continent.
The other elders heard this and said nothing.
Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with what the Qingyun Peak Master said, they could not help but consider Ji Wantang's targeting of Lin Zhao.
“If he is just the young master of Guangming Hall, then as long as Ji Wantang has not taken the position of hall master, he can’t interfere in anything in our Huangyao Sect.” The fourth elder frowned and couldn’t help but squeeze out a sentence under the huge pressure from Guangming Hall.
The head of Qingyun Peak snorted, "Is that just Guangming Hall's business? In the imperial election two years later, Ji Wantang is almost 100% sure to be the next emperor. At that time, let alone the selection of our Phoenix Medicine Sect's successor, even the existence of our Phoenix Medicine Sect will all depend on her decision."
As the lord of all continents in the Zuhuang plane, Emperor Zuhuang does have this right, but under normal circumstances, as long as the offerings from the sects are in place every year, the empire will not interfere too much in the affairs of the major sects. It's just that Ji Wantang issued a bounty for Lin Zhao before he ascended to a high position, which is enough to show the hatred between the two.
If the Phoenix Medicine Sect designated Lin Zhao as the successor at this time, it would undoubtedly tell Ji Wantang that they were against her.
After the headmaster figured out what kind of person Ji Wantang was from the attitudes of the peak masters and elders, he said with a smile: "Everyone, if the status of the Phoenix Medicine Sect was like it was in its heyday, would we still be so afraid of a candidate for the throne of the Emperor?"
The Phoenix Medicine Sect's Peak Master and the elders were silent. The Qingyun Peak Master stroked his mustache and expressed a different opinion, saying, "Things are different now, Master. Back then, the Zuhuang plane had geniuses from generation to generation, and they checked and fought each other. It's nothing like now... You probably don't know that among the younger generation of the Zuhuang plane, Ji Wantang can only be described in four words - invincible."
The other peak masters and elders also agreed with what the Qingyun Peak Master said.
The head of the sect laughed: "So what you guys mean is to hand Lin Zhao over to Ji Wantang?"
The Great Elder raised his hand: "Of course this is not possible."
The head of Qingyun Peak also knew that what he said before was actually a bit disadvantageous to Lin Zhao. He said with a twitch of his lips, "That's not what I meant. It's just that accepting her as a disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect has already offended Ji Wantang. If she is also designated as the heir, I'm afraid that after Ji Wantang sits on the throne of the Emperor, he will continue to suppress the Phoenix Medicine Sect. At that time, I'm afraid our sect will no longer exist in the plane."
When the Fourth Elder heard this, he slammed the table and made a firm decision: "If our sect is going to sacrifice the designated successor to get the favor of the next emperor, then there is no need for it to exist! I support Lin Zhao as the successor. I want to see what Ji Wantang can do to our Phoenix Medicine Sect."
The leader looked at the others.
The Great Elder sighed, "Even if we don't choose Lin Zhao as the successor, Ji Wantang will probably not let our Phoenix Medicine Sect go. Everyone, don't forget what kind of skills Ji Wantang practiced."
The faces of the other peak masters and elders changed. They did not expect that the chief elder would expose this matter so suddenly.
The head of Qingyun Peak asked, "How did Ji Wantang know that our Phoenix Medicine Sect has this technique?"
The head of the sect said, "The skills can sense each other. Ji Wantang was not able to sense it before because his cultivation was not high enough. From what you said, I guess Ji Wantang is approaching the state of transformation. With the blessing of his cultivation, he will probably locate here sooner or later."
The head of Qingyun Peak unconsciously looked gloomy: "In that case, there is really no need to worry too much."
As a sect that once reached the pinnacle of transcendent power, the elders and peak masters of the Phoenix Medicine Sect still have pride in their bones, so they are not willing to give up the heir they had previously decided on for the sake of a candidate for the Emperor.
The head of the sect made the final decision: "Then this matter is finalized. Lin Zhao is the 311th generation successor of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. When I abdicate, she will be the next head of the sect."
When Lin Zhao heard this, she felt that everyone was mysterious. It was not until the other peak masters and the headmaster left and the headmaster handed the seal of the successor to her that she felt it was somewhat real.
She asked, "Master, in fact, just because of the technique, Ji Wantang may not do anything to the sect."
The head of the sect laughed and did not directly reply to Ji Wantang's question, "Little girl, do you know the meaning of the Nine Secrets of the Phoenix Vein?"
Lin Zhao asked, "Is this the technique left behind by Master Zu Huang?"
The headmaster nodded in approval, "Indeed, but not only that, the Phoenix Vein Nine Techniques are a technique that Zuhuang himself cultivated and created. In ancient times, it was said that when the nine techniques are combined, Zuhuang will appear. When the Phoenix Vein Nine Techniques are fully developed, the strength will be close to Zuhuang himself."
Lin Zhao's eyes widened. He had never thought that there was such a rumor about the Phoenix Vein Nine Techniques, and he had never thought that Grandma Honghu would actually give him this technique when they first met, and that Elder Cheng had given him the technique in the first place.
"When Cheng Hai gave you the Phoenix Vein Technique, did he ask you to help him clear his name?"
Lin Zhao nodded.
The head of the sect smiled helplessly and said, "That kid is as smart as a ghost. I know that sooner or later he will find a way to clear himself, so I gave the skills to him to take away."
Lin Zhao said, "Master, please make the events of that year known to the world and clear Master Cheng of the injustice."
The head of the sect waved his hand and said, "Of course, that boy is my most proud disciple. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have asked Qing Jianfeng's people to make arrangements. But I want to tell you that Cheng Hai gave you the technique, in addition to letting you clear your grievances, he probably also wanted you to lead the Phoenix Medicine Sect to rise."
When Lin Zhao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then it took her a long time to utter a word.
"Mr. Cheng really thinks highly of the younger generation."
