Chapter 249: Tianhua Festival

Lin Zixu set off an earth-shattering wave within the Tianhua Sect, and the plan of three new peak masters suddenly made many core disciples suspicious, and they had to secretly curry favor with Lin Zixu in order to compete for a limited number of places, and his position was more stable.

Su Cheng, Yun Yixuan and other core disciples successively visited Lin Zixu in secret and expressed their loyalty to him, all of which were aimed at occupying a favorable position in this competition and gaining Lin Zixu's support.

However, Shi Xuan and the three of them did not make any moves in the past ten days, obviously having no interest in the seat of the peak master, which also made the other disciples feel unbelievable, after all, the status of the peak master is noble, and with the identity of the three Shi Xuan, it is easy to compete for one of the seats, but they have no intention of acting, which undoubtedly makes many people puzzled.

Originally, Su Cheng and Yun Yixuan were ready to fight Shi Xuan for a long time, but they also suddenly realized that the competitor they had been fighting for had never seemed to care.

Shi Xuan and the three of them withdrew from the competition, which also made some other slightly weaker core disciples ignite the hope of competing for the chairmanship of the peak, and many disciples ganged up to secretly exclude each other, in order to suppress the opponent and win the last place.

With Lin Zixu's ten-day time set by only one day missing, the major core disciples were ready to fight openly and secretly, Su Cheng and the others were bound to win the position of Chairman Feng, and they were also the most promising people.

In the evening of this day, Shi Xuan had just returned to the Spirit Forging Hall from Tianlei Peak, and met Jiang Yuheng and Dai Mengli in the middle of the road, Shi Xuan walked over and said, "Shi Xuan has seen Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Dai."

"Shi Xuan, what have the three of you been busy with these past few days?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"In the past few days, I have gained some insights in my cultivation, and I have been busy practicing, and Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling have taken over from me to teach new disciples, and I have just returned from Tianlei Peak," Shi Xuan said.

"Didn't Senior Brother Lin tell you about the fact that the sect was about to open the three main peaks?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"Senior brother, I already knew about this matter a few days ago," Shi Xuan said.

"The other core disciples are busy wooing many disciples and gaining support, why haven't you made any move?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"Senior brother, you also know that when you brought me into the sect, it was the old master's family who fought hard to keep me, and the Spirit Forging Hall is irreplaceable for me, when I promised to inherit the ambition of the old master, I decided that I would not leave the Spirit Forging Hall, and I would inherit the mantle of the master for the rest of my life," Shi Xuan said.

"Shi Xuan, now is not the time to be rash, you should know how precious the seat of the peak master is?

"Senior sister, I didn't want to fight with them, and I didn't want to see many factions among the disciples in the sect, fighting openly and secretly, I could only do what I wanted to do," Shi Xuan said.

"Even if you don't want to compete for the position of Peak Master, what about Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"The two of them are the same, and they have no intention of fighting, otherwise I would like to help them find a place," Shi Xuan said.

"It seems that Senior Brother Jiang, you are not alone, are you like this?" Dai Mengli said as she looked at Jiang Yuheng.

"If all the disciples in the sect are like Senior Brother Shi Xuan, maybe there will be peace in the sect, but unfortunately there are too many people who are fascinated by power, and this open and secret battle will not stop because there are fewer people involved", Jiang Yuheng said.

"Actually, in the hearts of the three of us, Senior Brother Jiang is the most suitable for the position of teacher regardless of strength or talent, although Senior Brother Lin is resourceful, but he has acted domineeringly over the years, and often leaves no room for things, in my mind, he is by no means the best candidate," Shi Xuan said.

"I have even let go of the monarch of the Danyang Empire, how can I care about a position of head of the sect, as you think, I just want to see the peaceful transition of power within the sect, and do not give foreign enemies any chance, I don't care about the rest, Tianhua Sect is my home, I will not cause my homeland to be shattered for a little desire for power", Jiang Yuheng said.

"Compared to Senior Brother Jiang's mind, what the three of us have done is not worth mentioning," Shi Xuan said.

"Although we all put up with it again and again, don't underestimate the other disciples, they may not think that we have let go of the fight, and we may be walking on thin ice in the sect in the future?" Dai Mengli said.

"It's too early to say this, I believe that Senior Brother Lin will not ignore the brotherhood of the past, as long as he doesn't go too far, I won't worry about him," Jiang Yuheng said.

"Since Senior Brother Jiang has no intention of fighting, we will not be reluctant, as long as we spend it peacefully within the sect in the future, we will be satisfied," Shi Xuan said.

Shi Xuan said goodbye to Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Dai and returned to the Spirit Forging Hall again, letting the disciples outside fight for their heads, and he, Zhao Zhuo and the others were also busy with their own affairs.

Just when Jiang Yuheng and Dai Mengli were about to go back, they suddenly met Lin Zixu, and he said, "Senior brother, junior sister, are you still adapting these days?"

"Everything is fine, and I enjoy teaching new disciples every day," Jiang Yuheng said.

"With Senior Brother's ability, if he just teaches his disciples, it will be useless, I have already asked the old master for instructions, now that the elders of the Taixuan Hall are old, they have the intention of retiring, just vacating a seat, Senior Brother's strength is just right to be competent, what do you think?" Lin Zixu asked.

"The Taixuan Hall is a forbidden place for the sect, and the stakes are very important, maybe it is better to let the elders of the older generation with higher qualifications serve as the leaders?" Dai Mengli said.

"That being said, but the old master also said that in order to cultivate a new generation of disciples of the sect, the elders of the older generation will no longer continue to hold important positions, and the elders of the Taixuan Hall will also be selected from the new generation of disciples.

"Since you don't have any other suitable candidates, I can temporarily take charge of the Taixuan Palace, and if you have a suitable candidate in the future, you can come to me at any time," Jiang Yuheng said.

"Then thank you Senior Brother Jiang," Lin Zixu said.

"Then what do you think of the three new peak masters of the sect?" Dai Mengli asked.

"To be precise, the addition of the three peak masters is the opinion of many elders, but it is just announced by me, I also think that the development and growth of the sect over the years, the ten peak masters are difficult to support the expansion of the sect, and the addition of three new peak masters can be regarded as the inevitable result of the growth of power," Lin Zixu said.

"Then do you have the right person in mind?" asked Dai Mengli.

"Yes, but I was surprised that some of them gave up on their own?" Lin Zixu said.

"You're talking about Shi Xuan, right?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"Why, even Senior Brother Jiang knows that he has given up competing for the position of Peak Master?" Lin Zixu asked.

"As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see this," Jiang Yuheng said.

"To be honest, with the strength and merits of the three of them, there must be a place for them in the Three Peaks seat, but it's a pity that they took the initiative to give up and it hurts me too?" Lin Zixu said.

"Do you want to directly arrange for him to be the peak master?" Jiang Yuheng asked.

"I don't have such a right, but with his merits and strength, as long as he is willing to fight, can I help him convince other elders to support him?" Lin Zixu said.

"I'm afraid, it won't be as you wish, he won't leave the Spirit Forging Hall?" Dai Mengli said.

"Why is Senior Sister so determined?" Lin Zixu asked.

"We asked him, and he firmly told us that in order to repay the kindness of Du Chunhua Peak Lord in the past, he would not leave the Spirit Forging Hall, and he would inherit the mantle of the Spirit Forging Master," Jiang Yuheng said.

"Before, I wanted to go to him personally to persuade him, so if I go now, I will inevitably touch the cold ash of my nose," Lin Zixu sighed.

"The three of them have been reluctant to form gangs within the sect over the years, and they don't want to see many factions within the sect, they just hope that the disciples will unite and fight the enemy together, as for these powers, they don't take these powers to heart, and they also hope that Senior Brother Lin will take care of them in the future, so as not to be excluded by other disciples?" Dai Mengli said.

"I see, don't worry, I won't let others disturb the order of the sect, let alone let those disciples fight each other for power and destroy the unity of the sect," Lin Zixu said.

"With your promise, I can rest assured, the three of us brothers and sisters have grown up together since childhood, and we have a deep affection, and I hope that Senior Brother Lin will think twice before making any decisions, and be cautious in his words and deeds in a high position", Jiang Yuheng sincerely patted Lin Zixu's shoulder and said.

"Thank you for my teachings, I know how to do it," Lin Zixu said.

"Okay, you're busy, so we won't bother you, let's do what you have to do, right?" Jiang Yuheng said.

"Senior brother and sister, take care, Zixu will retire first", Lin Zixu left after speaking.

Jiang Yuheng and Dai Mengli looked at the distant junior disciples, and felt a lot of melancholy in their hearts, Dai Mengli said: "Although the elder of the Taixuan Hall has a high status, it is also an idle position, and there is no opportunity to participate in the decision-making of the sect's affairs in ordinary times, so wouldn't it completely marginalize you, and you will have no chance to meddle in the sect's affairs in the future?"

"This is the inevitable result, there are no two heavens and no two masters in the country, my existence is already embarrassing to him, if he can't sit back and relax, we in Tianhua Sect must be on guard against unknown tilting at any time, so that we can no longer threaten his position, and he can also inherit the position of head of the sect with peace of mind", Jiang Yuheng said.

Although Dai Mengli felt a little unfair for Jiang Yuheng, but Jiang Yuheng was able to let go, she could only support it silently, after all, he even took the initiative to give up the status of the monarch of a country for the ideal in his heart.

At this moment, within the Tianhua Sect, Su Cheng, Yun Yixuan and other core disciples are in close contact with other core disciples, in order to gain their support, a peak chair position has made them completely crazy, which is the key to consolidating their position in the Tianhua Sect.

On the last day, in the main hall of Tianhua Sect, the elders invited by Tianhua Sect arrived as scheduled, and the ten peak masters sat down and the first disciples were all in the list, this time the opening of the three peaks was related to the rise and fall of Tianhua Sect, Lin Zixu must discuss with all the elders, even he can't be arbitrary.

Lin Zixu's conference this time was supported by Dai Tiande, the head of the sect, and many elders of the older generation, and its purpose was also to cultivate a new generation of young disciples of the sect.

There are many sects on the mainland, but among most of the super forces, the older generation of people in power have retreated into the background, and the new generation of disciples has gradually begun to emerge.

On the Southwest Continent, whether it is the Divine Sword Valley or the Tianyin Pavilion, a large number of new disciples have gradually come to the forefront, even within the Moon Worship Sect, the new generation of disciples led by Yan Tianhan has gradually replaced many of the elders of the older generation and began to move towards the core of power.

Such changes are inevitable, with the full recovery of the aura of heaven and earth, the cultivation of new disciples is advancing rapidly, and the elders of the older generation are gradually surpassed by newcomers, if they are still in high positions, it is bound to hinder the future of new disciples, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of the sect.

Many elders who had retreated into the background were also able to spare more time for retreat and practice, making up for the gap in strength between them and the new disciples.

Dai Tiande and many elders of the Tianhua Sect have had a very deep discussion, within three years, if the development of the sect goes well, they are very likely to completely hand over the rights in their hands within three years, completely retreat into the background, and let the newcomers take the position, now Lin Zixu is already in a critical period of investigation, and the first disciples of the other ten peaks are also facing severe investigations, if they can't get the approval of many elders within three years, they are also very likely to hand over the rights that are about to be handed over.

Although Jiang Yuheng is the first disciple of Tianhua Peak, the tradition has always been to be in charge of Tianhua Peak, if Lin Zixu succeeds in taking charge of Tianhua Sect this time, Tianhua Peak will also be in charge of Tianhua Peak on his behalf.

At that time, Jiang Yuheng will also lose the status of the first disciple of Tianhua Peak, and he will also completely lose the opportunity to meddle in the daily affairs of Tianhua Sect.

On top of the long history of Tianhua Sect, it has only suffered five invasions of strong enemies, and in other years, the elders of the Taixuan Palace have no chance to make a move at all, and the people who have been in charge of the Taixuan Hall in the past dynasties are some elders with high strength and advanced age. This time, Lin Zixu let Jiang Yuheng take charge of the Taixuan Palace, which was indeed to completely isolate him and make trouble forever.

The Tianhua Festival came as scheduled, and the most important thing for Lin Zixu this time was to openly discuss with many new elders, the matter of opening the three peaks this time, and the repeated actions of the Moon Worship Sect on the continent also attracted the attention of the Tianhua Sect, and this time it should also be discussed publicly.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo also came to the main hall early, this time they didn't care about competing for the number of elders, but since this matter was related to the rise and fall of the sect, they had to fulfill their corresponding duties as new elders.

Under the main hall, a large number of new generation elders arrived one after another, discussing something in groups below, Su Cheng, Yun Yixuan, Liu Ruyue and other core disciples were greeting other disciples in groups, obviously these are the objects they are wooing, and with the support of these people, they have a much greater chance of getting a seat.

Of course, only Shi Xuan and them were sparsely populated, except for the group of disciples and elders who had secretly supported Shi Xuan for many years, there were no other people.

"Look at these people, blatantly ganging up in the main hall, and not taking the majesty of the sect in their eyes at all?" Zhao Zhuo looked at Su Cheng and the others blatantly wooing their disciples, and was very dissatisfied.

"Since we have no intention of fighting, why bother ourselves about what others do?" Zhong Ling said.

"Shi Xuan, even if you don't have the support of these people, as long as you speak, I will go to Lin Zixu, and the elder seat will be one of them," Zhao Zhuo said.

"We all know very well what we want in our hearts, why deceive ourselves for these illusory rights, even if we are not the peak master, I don't believe that anyone in the sect dares to make a move on us?" Shi Xuan said.

Shi Xuan knew in his heart that he was responsible for winning and losing, whether it was the seal of the Flame Spirit Realm or his own family feud, it made him feel difficult to breathe, not to mention that Huang Shuhan's family was also facing a terrible crisis, as her beloved, Shi Xuan was absolutely impossible to stay out of the matter, with a lot of concerns, it was not like being too involved in the power vortex of Tianhua Sect, he just wanted to improve his strength and complete his responsibilities safely.

Jiang Yuheng and Dai Mengli also came to the main hall one after another, and many elders went to greet them, as the first disciples of Tianhua Sect, even if Lin Zixu was in the limelight now, it was difficult to hide their elegance.

After greeting many disciples, Jiang Yuheng and the others also came to sit down beside Shi Xuan and them, "It's still quiet here for Senior Brother Shi Xuan, it seems that we can concentrate on practicing together in the future, they are so active in fighting for power, we can also be a lot easier", Dai Mengli said.

"When the time comes, when we encounter difficulties in our cultivation, we will have to ask our senior brother and sister for advice," Shi Xuan said.

"I don't dare to ask for advice, with the current cultivation and talent of the three of you, in less than three or five years, no one in the entire Tianhua Sect will dare to say that they can teach you," Jiang Yuheng said.

"Senior Brother Jiang's strength is outstanding, and his talent is even rarer, no matter how hard we try, we can only follow behind you," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Senior brother is too modest, we have watched the three of you grow up, and at your age, we are far worse than you," Jiang Yuheng said.

"We want to compare ourselves with the new disciples this year, the same is true, a generation of new people replace the old, it is true that the times have changed, and the era that belongs to our spirit master has come again," Shi Xuan said.

"Yes, this year, the two newcomer disciples broke it all at once, and it is indeed surprising that they have maintained the tenth-level heavenly rank record for many years, Ji Chengcheng and Lei Chenxi are both talented and high disciples I have seen, and their talents are not weaker than you and me, but they are much younger than us, which is indeed terrifying", Jiang Yuheng said.
