C1991 Witchcraft

Zhou Zhizhi went silent after hearing what the Second Elder said.

Yuan Shuilian sighed inwardly. Their positions were different.

To be honest, from the perspective of the Second Elder, there was no problem in dealing with it this way.

If the Second Elder stood on Qiu Shuihan's side, he would naturally have a different attitude towards Dugu Family as a big threat.

She winked at Zhou Zhizhi. Yuan Shuilian was about to make her concluding remarks when she suddenly frowned.

The Second Elder and the others also had sullen looks on their faces.

There was a reason why someone was using the Infinite Mind outside the Conference Room gate to check out each and every move of the Conference Room.

Of course it would be Ye Lingtian if anyone in Frigid Smoke Mountain had such guts.

Ye Lingtian had been unconscious ever since she came out of Small Space, which made Zhou Zhizhi quite worried.

The fact that Ye Lingtian wasn't hurt and vomited blood and passed out while surrounding Lan Rexi and the others was not a big deal.

A little rest and you'll be all right.

To say that it was so painful that one would go berserk was a life-threatening tempo.

Who would have thought that the aura that was emitting from Ye Lingtian's body just now wasn't due to Ye Lingtian's grief?

What caused Ye Lingtian to vomit blood was that his meridians couldn't handle the speed of his improvement.

Originally, this was a huge matter and it would be impossible to recover in a year or so.

Ye Lingtian had been in a coma for a few days, yet he was still full of energy! Not to mention his Cultivation Level, his Cultivation Level had also reached the terrifying peak of Heaven Level Divine Cultivator!

Ye Lingtian, who was a Divine Qualification, was unbelievably strong.

Lili noticed the changes on Ye Lingtian. Yuan Shuilian, Second Elder, and the others could not sense it.

Ye Lingtian unceremoniously used the Infinite Mind to probe the Conference Room of the elders.

The higher-ups have yet to formally announce Ye Lingtian's identity as Sect Leader. Ye Lingtian must abide by the rules, even under the banner of Yuan Nichang's disciple, he must not go overboard.

Thus, it was normal for the higher ups of Frigid Smoke Mountain to feel displeased.

However, after sensing Ye Lingtian's Cultivation Level realm, the unhappiness on everyone's face was replaced with pleasant surprise and shock.

How many days has it been?! From the Yellow Rank Divine Cultivator to the peak of Heaven Level Divine Cultivator, this was unprecedented in the history of Frigid Smoke Mountain. It could even be said to be unprecedented in the history of Immortal Arts.

If the elders and elders were unhappy with Ye Lingtian becoming the Sect Leader, they would be more than happy for him to become the leader.

As long as one's brain wasn't filled with water, one would know that Frigid Smoke Mountain would completely walk towards glory under Ye Lingtian's guidance.

The Second Elder moved closer to Yuan Shuilian's ear and whispered, "With this, with more experience in Cultivation Level s and Frigid Smoke Mountain, returning to the peak of the Immortal Arts is not impossible."

Having worked together for so many years, how could Yuan Shuilian not understand the heart of Second Elder Xu Xiaonuo?

To be fair, Xu Xiaonuo's talent was limited, but to be a second elder of Frigid Smoke Mountain, she did not possess the equivalent strength of Cultivation Level.

However, Xu Xiaonuo's diligent and dutiful work for the Frigid Smoke Mountain had broken her heart. Thus, her prestige within the sect was only higher than Yuan Shuilian's.

And it also proved that Xu Xiaonuo did not have any selfish motives and did not mention that her Small Space incident this time around.

Even if Zhou Zhizhi had the merit of power, she could still find an opening to defeat Zhou Zhizhi and use it against Yuan Shuilian.

In the end, Xu Xiaonuo didn't say anything.

Therefore, sometimes, Yuan Shuilian had the impulse to confess to Xu Xiao. Considering the consequences, she could only swallow her words again and again.

"I'm afraid that Ye Lingtian, with his ability as the Sect Leader, will become a burden if we can't become his support."

Yuan Shuilian looked at everyone's Cultivation Level realm and pondered for a while before laughing helplessly.

Xu Xiaonuo said confidently, "Our group is too old and has limited potential."

"After Zhi Zhi brought these disciples to take the Nine Heavens Spirit Refinement Pill, they became the hope of the Heaven Level Divine Cultivator s."

Maybe using the Nine Heavens Spirit Refinement Pill would have a huge impact on his future breakthrough into the Heaven Ranked Immortal Cultivator. But just how many cultivators had made it into the Heaven Ranked Immortal Cultivator in the history of the Frigid Smoke Mountain, and just how many had made it into the history of the Immortal Arts?

As long as a potential disciple of Frigid Smoke Mountain was able to reach the Earth s, it would be a great surprise. Even Sect Master Yuan Nichang's peak strength was only at the level of a Yellow Rank Immortal Cultivator, and her Primary Stage was still far from that of an Earth Rank Immortal Cultivator.

Yuan Shuilian thought for a second and added, "Maybe happiness came too suddenly, I was overthinking it."

"Not only are you thinking too much, I was thinking too much as well."

Xu Xiaonuo patted the Great Elder's shoulder and whispered, "Let Ye Lingtian in, but you have to insist on your principles."

"Frigid Smoke Mountain cannot be compared with how it is right before Top Sects."

Yuan Shuilian nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Giving Zhou Zhizhi a meaningful glance, Yuan Shuilian coughed lightly and stood up, "Everyone greets Frigid Smoke Mountain's new Sect Leader, Ye Lingtian."

The Great Elder didn't need to remind them to stand up as well.

After the door to the secret room was opened, Ye Lingtian saw respect from the elders of Frigid Smoke Mountain.

The reason that the experts of the Immortal Arts World respected the head of the sect, was because the power Ye Lingtian displayed was not enough to convince everyone.

There is now a complete reversal of the situation.

He looked around and saw Ye Lingtian, who had been empty for many years, sitting on the seat of the Sect Leader. He pressed his hands lightly on the seat, "Everyone, please sit."

"Yes, Sect Master," Frigid Smoke Mountain Elder respectfully replied.

Taking the tea that Zhou Zhizhi passed to him, Ye Lingtian smiled faintly at Xu Xiaonuo. "I heard what you said just now, Second Elder."

"Small Space, I really do have second thoughts towards Elder Zhou's order."

Xu Xiaonuo happily said to the elders of the Frigid Smoke Mountain, "Sect Master saying these words is the fortune of the Frigid Smoke Mountain. I believe that under the Sect Leader's lead, the Frigid Smoke Mountain will definitely walk towards glory."

Previously, no one had seen Ye Lingtian, but now, Ye Lingtian confidently and openly walked into the Conference Room elder. From his eyes and imposing manner, everyone saw hope for the revival of Frigid Smoke Mountain.

In the modern society, who would believe Tianjue Leader if he said he didn't have the Ruler's Qi on him?

In order to control the Frigid Smoke Mountain as quickly as possible, Ye Lingtian had to put on a high profile.

Shifting his gaze to Yuan Shuilian, Ye Lingtian said, "Great Elder, if I'm not wrong, everyone should be discussing how to restrict my power within this Conference Room elder, right?"

The Frigid Smoke Mountain elders were quiet for a while.

As the new Patriarch of Frigid Smoke Mountain, even if Ye Lingtian knew that everyone was discussing this matter, he still couldn't say it out loud.

The upper echelons were playing a game of being reserved and speaking frankly. They didn't have any skill in talking about it …

"This …" Yuan Shuilian looked at the other elders and quickly kicked the ball towards Xu Xiaonuo.

"Sect Leader, there are some things you should ask the Second Elder."

Xu Xiaonuo stood up and bowed to Ye Lingtian, showing her sincerity.

"Sovereign, what you just said is true. Everyone was talking about restricting Sovereign's authority."

"As for the limits, I haven't had time to discuss them and I came up with this suggestion."

"The clan leader led the Frigid Smoke Mountain members in a beautiful annihilation battle."

"It's been so many years since a member of the Frigid Smoke Mountain has gone through true combat and tempered himself. What a happy result! Merely …"

Ye Lingtian sipped a mouthful of tea and made a gesture, "Second Elder, please continue."

Xu Xiaonuo's expression was grave and powerful as she narrated her point of view.

"Regardless of whether it is in terms of Cultivation Level or alchemy skills, Sect Leader has proven that you are a heaven warping talent."

"Sect Leader Yuan Nichang's judgement is right, but no matter how dazzling the diamonds are, they have to be polished."

"The sect master wanting to dominate the Immortal Arts world with its super strength is one aspect but the necessary strategy is the more important aspect."

"To put it bluntly, once certain forces of Top Sects find out that a genius like Clan Master has left the sect, even if they use underhanded methods, the disaster of Frigid Smoke Mountain will not be beneficial to the Sect Leader's progress."

Ye Lingtian put down the cup and looked deeply at Xu Xiaonuo. "Second Elder said it was very good. Please take a seat."

Xu Xiaonuo smiled apologetically at Ye Lingtian as she followed, "Sovereign, you can understand that this subordinate's hard work is due to the blessing of Frigid Smoke Mountain."

Ye Lingtian's face darkened, "I can understand the painstaking efforts of Second Elder and the Elders, but I am unable to understand the painstaking efforts of Elder Qiu Shuihan."

When these words came out, the entire elder's Conference Room fell into a deathly silence.

Qiu Shuihan was one of the biggest traitors in the history of Frigid Smoke Mountain.

As Yuan Nichang's disciple, Ye Lingtian was speaking up for her.

Yuan Shuilian exchanged a glance with Zhou Zhizhi, and an incomparably awkward smile appeared on her face. "Sovereign, what did you just say?"

"I just said that everyone didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Elder Qiu Shuihan."

Ye Lingtian finished his tea and heavily placed the cup on the conference table.

Xu Xiaonuo's face was ashen. She used both hands to support her Conference Room as she stood up and said coldly, "To say such outrageous words, you're still Sect Master Yuan Nichang's disciple."

Ye Lingtian smiled proudly and said resolutely, "I'm not only Yuan Nichang's disciple, I'm also Qiu Shuihan's husband!"

"Ridiculous! This is impossible!"

Ye Lingtian held out his hand, indicating that Lili was going to listen to him.

"Perhaps everyone feels that this is a bit outrageous … but no one has thought about the relationship between Yuan Nichang and Qiu Shuihan before …"

"Have you ever wondered why Yuan Nichang chased after Qiu Shuihan alone?"

Xu Xiaonuo was instantly stunned by these words.

The relationship between Yuan Nichang and Qiu Shuihan was indeed very subtle. Most importantly, every time Qiu Shuihan went to Frigid Smoke Mountain, her attitude would always be to cause trouble for Yuan Nichang.2

The other Elders might not know that Yuan Shuilian and Xu Xiaonuo were cultivators of the same generation as Yuan Nichang.

If the Great Elder and the Second Elder did not say anything, how could the others have the right to speak?

Seeing everyone fall silent, Ye Lingtian followed up, "Looks like it's good that Second Elder didn't forget those things from the past."

"But Second Elder, do you know why Yuan Nichang is unwilling to return to the Frigid Smoke Mountain?"

"She felt ashamed."

"Because under her master's lead, not only did the Frigid Smoke Mountain not advance, it instead retreated step by step."
