1990: C1990 Dark Aid

C1990 Dark Aid

There was a legend in the world of Immortal Arts.

Legend has it that the blood of a god in this world will shine like gold in the sun.

After looking at the handkerchief for a long time, Zhou Zhizhi steeled her heart and said to her subordinate, "Send a sister to quickly head to Wanyan City and inform Wanyan Zhi to lead all of our clansmen there immediately."

"Yes," Female Cultivator, who was standing beside Zhou Zhizhi, replied respectfully.

He led his people and quickly left the Small Space. Zhou Zhizhi rushed towards the Frigid Smoke Mountain without stopping for a single moment.

Frigid Smoke Mountain Elder's Conference Room.

Great Elder Yuan Shuilian asked Zhou Zhizhi to brief him on the situation regarding Small Space. After that, she turned to Second Elder and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

The Second Elder pondered for a long time before deciding on the tone for this meeting.

"Both you and I, the Fourth Elder, have experienced the supremacy of our Supreme Heart Sutra. It is comparable to what the Sect Leader showed us back then."

"If these mental cultivation methods weren't for the Supreme Frigid Smoke Mountain, my recent cultivation of these mental cultivation methods would have been in vain."

Yuan Shuilian nodded lightly. Her face was filled with gratification, as she continued, "The reason why Frigid Smoke Mountain has been going through so much trouble in these past few years is precisely because of the loss of the top-grade mental cultivation methods."

"And today, not only does the Sect Leader have news, the Sect Leader has even sent Ye Lingtian to Frigid Smoke Mountain for his latest comprehension. Congratulations!"

The big shots of Frigid Smoke Mountain all revealed joyous expressions.

The elders present had not been cultivating for long before they would be able to break through to the Yellow Rank.

"Since Sovereign has passed his legacy to Ye Lingtian, we should respect Ye Lingtian as Sovereign, right?" Yuan Shuilian saw that everyone was in a good mood so she quickly raised her hand.

Frigid Smoke Mountain? Some elders, look at me … your face is no longer as cheerful as it was before.

Ye Lingtian has a problem with his position as Sect Leader and a big problem.

There were no male disciples in the entire Frigid Smoke Mountain, and the Sect Leader had never heard of Yuan Nichang passing her clothes over to Ye Lingtian …

"Hmm well, from Ye Lingtian's performance, I can tell that he does have the ability to inherit the mantle."

The Cultivation Level was something that would never be seen before it advanced. What was even more precious was that the consummate skill of the way of alchemy, that was able to revive Frigid Smoke Mountain, was just around the corner.

Clapping her heart, she said that Yuan Nichang was right to choose Ye Lingtian as her disciple, but her little partner felt uncomfortable inside.

After hesitating for a while, the Second Elder said with a serious face, "I have no objection to Great Elder taking Ye Lingtian as his Sect Leader."

"However, there are some things that I think it would be better if we say them in advance. The Grand Elder and Fourth Elder do not mind."

Yuan Shuilian smiled and made a gesture of 'please', "Second Elder, please feel free to tell me."

The Second Elder took a sip of his fragrant tea and said resolutely, "It's not wise for Ye Lingtian to choose to fight against Guangyu Palace after killing Zhang Yiben, and it could even be said that he's lost his head."

Seeing that Zhou Zhizhi was displeased, the Second Elder put down his teacup and began to chat with the other elders who had remained silent.

"First of all, since Ye Lingtian has inherited the Patriarch's legacy and knows the Fourth Elder's true identity in Small Space, he can definitely reveal it."

"My Frigid Smoke Mountain isn't as strong as it was before, at least I have to give it some face."

"Fourth Elder has already acknowledged Ye Lingtian as his Sect Leader. No matter if it's Zhang Yiben or Lan Rexi, how could they possibly attack Ye Lingtian and Wanyan Yue?"

Yuan Shuilian glanced around and saw everyone nodding with smiles as she said, "Second Elder, the Small Space incident does indeed give us some leeway."

The Second Elder started to summarize his satisfaction with Yuan Shuilian's attitude.

"To be able to negotiate and settle the issue of using violence … If it's not a problem before, is it possible for the Frigid Smoke Mountain to act rashly in the current situation of the Immortal Arts world?"

"The Small Space incident has proven Ye Lingtian's weak position. For the future of our Frigid Smoke Sect's members, we must restrict the Sect Leader's authority and even consider abolishing the Sect Leader's right to vote."

Zhou Zhizhi frowned as she said indifferently, "Second Elder, if you really do that, isn't the position of Sect Leader just for show?"

"How could the restriction be a decoration? Besides, the restriction never continue."

The Second Elder explained while correcting Zhou Zhizhi's slip of the tongue.

"Ye Lingtian is even more mysterious in the Cultivation Level Dao of alchemy, but he is too young and has no experience in complex situations. The only thing he can bring about is disaster."

"Isn't Wanyan Yue a good example? If it wasn't for Ye Lingtian repeatedly making mistakes in Small Space, Wanyan Yue would have fallen."

Yuan Shuilian and Zhou Zhizhi looked at each other, after which, Zhou Zhizhi stood up and said to the Second Elder, "If Ye Lingtian is not satisfied with this, Second Elder, do you feel that this is a loss in Frigid Smoke Mountain?"

Once these words came out, the various Frigid Smoke Mountain elders who were prepared to speak at once shut their mouths.

"If he can refine Nine Heavens Spirit Refinement Pill within the Small Space, he can refine a Heaven and Earth Spirit Refinement Pill within the Frigid Smoke Mountain."

"Everyone, it can't be that you do not wish to charge into the realm of Immortal Cultivator and return your Frigid Smoke Mountain to the ranks of the Top Sects, right?"

"No one is an idiot, but they can't do anything to Ye Lingtian in this Conference Room, and they can't force him into the air."

"You think horses can run so fast and not eat grass? How can it be so light?"

Zhou Zhizhi's words were loud and clear, without even a breath of air.

Yuan Shuilian knocked on the table and glared at Zhou Zhizhi. "Watch your tone!"

Zhou Zhizhi bit her lips as she looked at the calm and composed Second Elder before she slowly sat down.

The Second Elder didn't care about Zhou Zhizhi's attitude and smiled even more indifferently.

In the eyes of the Second Elder, Zhou Zhizhi was still a junior.

"Of course I want to rush into the Immortal Cultivator Realm. Even more so, I want to restore my Frigid Smoke Mountain."

"But if we leave the decision to Ye Lingtian, what if one day he tries to play Small Space again? No one knows the consequences."

"The reason why the previous Sect Leader chose Yuan Nichang as the Sect Leader was not because Sect Leader Yuan Nichang's Cultivation Level talent was higher than Qiu Shuihan's, nor was it because Yuan Nichang's intelligence was higher than Qiu Shuihan's."

"It's just that Sect Leader Yuan Nichang's character is steady and calm enough. My Frigid Smoke Mountain, regardless of what happens, is still calm as ever."

The third elder had already endured for a long time, but after hearing the second elder's words, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

She nodded as she echoed, "There's no meaning in having your Frigid Smoke Mountain unable to maintain a stable state and fall into the midst of a conquest no matter how strong you are."

The Fifth Elder looked at the Great Elder's face and said seriously, "I agree with the Second Elder that restricting Ye Lingtian's authority is for the sake of Frigid Smoke Mountain."

The Sixth and Seventh Elder looked at each other, before standing on the Second Elder's side without hesitation. "We second!"

The Eighth Elder, who was ranked last, looked at Yuan Shuilian, Second Elder, and the others with a bitter smile on his face.

"What I'm afraid of is that the top powers who covet Frigid Smoke Mountain will take action right after Frigid Smoke Mountain has arrived."

"At that time, the so-called revival will only be a dream."

The Eighth Elder had always been standing on the side of the Great Elder Yuan Shuilian. Yuan Shuilian probably wouldn't be able to control the entire situation during this period of conflict.

Thus, Zhou Zhizhi kept signalling to Yuan Shuilian with her eyes that there was not much meaning in changing the tone of the Master Meeting to Ye Lingtian's taking over as the Patriarch of Frigid Smoke Mountain.

Amongst the higher ups of Frigid Smoke Mountain, Yuan Shuilian had the strongest relationship with Qiu Shuihan back then. How could she not understand Zhou Zhizhi's thoughts?

But what the elders of Frigid Smoke Mountain had said was the truth. The current situation of the Immortal Arts world was perfect, and Ye Lingtian's arrival was like a pie dropped from the sky.

A pie falling from the sky is a good thing. A man who eats a pie must be prepared for it or he will be killed by it if he is not careful.

Standing at the upper level of the Frigid Smoke Mountain, considering the words of the Second Elder and the others, was simply invulnerable.

Yuan Shuilian pondered for a moment before laughing.

"I am very happy that all of you can still remain calm at this moment. Second Elder said that Ye Lingtian must be limited in his ability to become Sect Leader."

"On one hand, it's for the Frigid Smoke Mountain. On the other hand, it's for Ye Lingtian himself."

"All the indications are that Ye Lingtian's sword is too sharp and is easy to break. It is necessary to grind it for a period of time."

The second elder smiled and nodded at Zhou Zhizhi. His gaze was filled with gentleness and admiration, a change from before.

"I know what you're thinking, Zhizhi."

"In these past few years, my Frigid Smoke Mountain has suffered from a lot of anger, from top to bottom."

"The matter of Small Space has quelled my anger, but this step is too risky. One mouthful after another, I have to walk the path of cultivation step by step."

"It's not a good thing for Frigid Smoke Mountain to show off its edge."

The entire elder's Conference Room was filled with objections, and even the master had allowed the second elder to say what else he wanted to say.

Zhou Zhizhi lowered her head and said powerlessly, "Second Elder is right."

The Second Elder raised his teacup and looked around before saying, "Since no one has any objections, let us begin the next topic."

"Does everyone not feel that there's a problem with Sect Leader telling us to bring all of our Wanyan Family to the Frigid Smoke Mountain?"

Zhou Zhizhi could no longer hold it in. She stared at the second elder and said word by word, "Second elder, are you going to veto this order?"

"After you and Ye Lingtian arrived at Frigid Smoke Mountain, I had my men rush to the Wanyan City without stopping to declare the Patriarch's order null and void."

Zhou Zhizhi slapped the table angrily. "Second Elder, have you ever considered Ye Lingtian's actions?"

"I understand Ye Lingtian's feelings. For the sake of the safety of Frigid Smoke Mountain, I must do this."

"Wanyan Family and Frigid Smoke Mountain have absolutely nothing to do with each other. At the very least, on the surface, we don't know who Wanyan Family is.

The Second Elder's expression was still as indifferent as before, neither slow nor hurried … …

Yuan Shuilian frowned and knocked on the table, reminding Zhou Zhizhi once again, "Fourth Elder, pay attention to your attitude."

Zhou Zhizhi bit her red lips as tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at her master, then looked at the Frigid Smoke Mountain Elder.

"If all of you really do this, how sad would the Sect Leader be?"

The Second Elder shook his head, "He won't be sad because he doesn't think well of the sect leader's order."

Second Elder Ming took a sip of his fragrant tea and laughed strangely, "On the surface, no one has anything to do with each other, but it doesn't mean that the Frigid Smoke Mountain doesn't care. It doesn't mean that we can secretly help each other."

"Being hot-blooded is a good thing! If you overdo it, it will be a grave mistake!"2
