C2113 Yuxi Gate
"Not good, not good!"
On the mountain peak of the West Coast, there was a cultivation sect called the Jade Creek Sect.
The Jade Creek Sect had a long history in the Royal Heavenly Continent and was at its peak. It had once dominated the entire Royal Heavenly Continent and its might shook the three continents of the Central World. It was known as the strongest "Celestial Gate" in the Royal Heavenly Continent. However, as the era changed, it gradually declined.
The sects that had originally covered the entire West Coast region were now only left with the mountain peak that was the beginning of the sect.
On this day, a young man arrived outside the mountain gate. The young man took out a black plate. When the disciples outside the gate saw the black plate, they turned pale with fright. They followed the ancient stone steps and stumbled towards the building on the peak of the mountain.
At the same time, the alarm outside the mountain gate was sounded. All the disciples who were cultivating looked at the disciples rushing toward the main building and their expressions changed slightly.
The alarm sounded. Was something big going to happen?
"What's the matter with the little boy at the gate?"
Three old men walked out from the main hall. The old man in the lead saw the disciple running over and asked.
"Great Elder, something bad has happened. There is a young man outside who has come with our sect master token. He said that he is here to be the sect master of our sect."
The disciple running over said in fear.
"What?! Preposterous!"
On both sides of the old man leading the group, there were old men. The old man with white hair and black beard on the left and the old man with black hair and white beard on the right exclaimed. Even the face of the old man with white hair and white beard in the middle became solemn. He could not help but look down.
There were three hundred steps to the main building. The one hundred and fifty step was a huge platform square. Many disciples of the Jade Creek Sect were meditating, and on both sides were a pair of rooms for resting. The platform in the middle was built later. Originally, there was only the statue of the founder of the sect, True Jade Ancient Sage.
The ninth generation sect master of the Jade Creek Sect built this platform square and named it the Sector Town Square.
The sect master token was personally created by the founder, True Jade Ancient Sage. It was passed down from generation to generation by the sect master.
The token was imprinted by the sect master of each generation. Seeing the token was like seeing an ancient sage of the Jade Creek Sect, which meant that the person holding the token was the sect master.
"Isn't the token in the hands of Lord Qin Jiu? Why is it with this kid?" The black haired and white bearded elder said.
"Rubbish."
The white bearded old man suddenly thought of something and sighed.
"What should we do? Should we take back the Sect Leader Token?"
The white-haired, black-bearded old man looked at the white-haired, white-bearded old man and asked.
"No, since Lord Qin Jiu gave the Sect Leader Token to him, we cannot take it by force. There are many spies from his faction waiting for us outside the mountain gate."
"Call him in. Call him into the sect and discuss the matter of the Sect Leader Token."
"Sigh."
Hearing this, the old men with white hair, black beard, and black hair and white beard also sighed.
Everyone in the Jade Stream Sect called Lord Qin Jiu 'lord' when they saw him. Naturally, it was not because of anything else. The main reason was that Lord Qin Jiu had a high seniority.
It was said that Lord Qin Jiu had joined the Jade Stream Sect during the ninth generation, and now, the Jade Stream Sect had thirteen generations of inheritance. Regardless of whether it was the previous sect master, the previous sect master, or the previous sect master, they would all call Qin Jiu 'Jiu' when they saw him.
However, in fact, this Qin Jiu Ye was just an old foppish fool. In the eyes of the elders and disciples of the Jade Stream Sect, he was a person who did not do proper work. He only liked to fish every day when he had nothing to do.
As for why Lord Qin Jiu had the token of the sect master of the Jade Stream Sect, it had to be mentioned from the previous sect master.
When the previous sect master was ambushed and heavily injured, he made a will and gave the token to Lord Qin Jiu. He had said that he would let Lord Qin Jiu be the Sect Leader. In the future, when he met a suitable person, Lord Qin Jiu would hand the Sect Leader Token to that person. With this, he would become the sect head of the Jade Stream Sect.1
However, Lord Qin Jiu did not think it was a big deal when he received the sect master token. He repeatedly said that he would sell it to exchange for wine, scaring all the elders of the Jade Stream Sect.
If this sect master token fell into the hands of evil people, their Jade Stream Sect would be doomed.
All these years, in the Jade Stream Sect, all big and small matters were decided by the Great Elder. Therefore, the entire Jade Stream Sect had long regarded the Great Elder as an Elder, but the Great Elder had always been unwilling to accept the position of Sect Leader. After all, the previous Sect Master had left behind a legacy.
The Great Elder was a rather conservative person and was unwilling to go against the will of the Sect Master.
A few days ago, with the Head Elder as the leader, the three elders of the Jade Stream Sect had criticized Lord Qin Jiu. They hoped that Lord Qin Jiu could fulfill the duty of acting the sect master. However, Lord Qin Jiu did not appreciate it. He even declared that he wanted to find a suitable person to be the sect master of the Jade Creek Sect.
After that, Lord Qin Jiu left the sect. However, he did not expect that not long after, someone would come with the sect master token.
In the beginning, the Great Elder also had the idea of snatching back the sect master token from the hands of the person. However, when he thought of the outside of the sect... Countless powers were eyeing him covetously, worrying about not taking advantage of the chaos. He also gave up on this idea.
The other party swaggering over must have attracted the attention of those factions outside the door.
They had come with ill intentions, but there was nothing they could do about it. They still had to show proper etiquette, so they invited Wang Xiao to the Jade Creek Sect's meeting hall on the peak to have a chat.
In the meeting hall, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder sat on the main seat. A young man stood there calmly. Other than that, there was no one else in the meeting hall. Outside the door were a few powerful disciples of the Jade Creek Sect guarding it.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little serious.
"Who are you?"
The Great Elder looked at the youth and asked.
"Wang Mingxiao, a minor cultivator from the outer domain." The young man said calmly.
This young man was none other than Wang Xiao, who was stopped by Qin Jiu. No one knew what Qin Jiu had said to Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao had brought the token of the sect master of the Jade Creek Sect to the Jade Creek Sect.
Wang Xiao was indifferent, but he didn't seem to notice that the three men in front of him were looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
"What benefits did you give Qin Jiu? Why would he give you the token?"
The Great Elder questioned.
He sized Wang Xiao up. Wang Xiao looked like a mortal without any cultivation base. He couldn't sense the existence of magic power in Wang Xiao's body.
When he thought of the absurdity of Lord Qin Jiu, he also believed that Lord Qin Jiu had given the Sect Chief Token to a mortal.
This time, he was really angry. Previously, he had also called Qin Jiu "Lord Jiu," but now, he was calling him "Qin Jiu."
The Second and Third Elders beside the Great Elder also felt this point. They could not help but look at each other as if they had a tacit understanding.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao said casually, "What benefits can I give him? He cried and begged me to be the sect master of Jade Stream Sect. He said that the Jade Creek Sect was a declining immortal sect and that it had a lot of treasures. Ancient Virtuous True Treasures, Ancient Virtuous Life Tools... "
