Inhale~ Exhale~
Kongming took a deep breath and then exhaled a long breath. He felt the circulation and changes of this breath in his body. To be honest, he hadn't felt this way in a long time. Before, he was almost out of breath, but this breath just now made him certain that he was still alive. This feeling was really great.

"Grandmaster Uncle, how is it? Not bad, right?" Fang Zhongyi looked at Kongming with a smile.

Kongming slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he suddenly opened them. He then stood up, stretched his body, and then burst into laughter. He looked at his hands and laughed continuously.

He stopped after a while, then let out a long breath. He glanced at Fang Zhongyi, and then said in a deep voice, "Good, this feels so good. I feel like I've been reborn. Although my appearance hasn't changed much, I know that my body has undergone earth-shattering changes. Good, this is really great."

Fang Zhongyi looked at him and then smiled and said, "Grandmaster Uncle, shall we sit down and talk? The sect has a plan that we would like to carry out with your help."

Kongming nodded and sat down. Then he looked at Fang Zhongyi and said, "Zhongyi, tell me, what are the sect's plans?"

Fang Zhongyi looked at Kongming and smiled slightly, saying, "Actually, I could have told you about this plan later, but my visit to you this time has already attracted a lot of attention. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet for a while. Of course, we can still meet at the sect if we want, but you'll probably be staying at the sect for a long time in the future because there are many things you need to learn. I don't want to bother you, so I'll just tell you about the sect's plan directly."

At this point, Fang Zhongyi paused, then glanced at Kongming before continuing, "Besides us, the sect has other people here at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. And the most important person among them is none other than Fucha. I wonder if you know Fucha?"

Kongming nodded and said, "I know that. I am a core disciple of the sect. However, I am not aware of the recent situation. You also know my previous situation. My lifespan is coming to an end, so I have paid less attention to things outside."

Fang Zhongyi nodded, then told Kong Ming about Fucha's situation. Fang Zhongyi continued, "Fucha is now a member of the sect, and the sect plans to have him compete for the position of sect leader. However, although Fucha has gained some power, he doesn't have the support of any major family. So, I previously devised a plan for the sect: I wanted Fucha to marry a woman from the Kong family. This way, the Kong family would have a new talent capable of leading the sect. Fucha is a core disciple, and he is qualified to compete for the position of sect leader. The Kong family is currently facing a talent shortage, but with Fucha joining, it would also benefit the Kong family. Furthermore, a marriage alliance with the Kong family would also benefit Fucha. In this way, the Kong family could openly support him, and he would have the strength to compete for the position of sect leader. What do you think, Grandmaster Uncle?"

After listening to Fang Zhongyi's words, Kongming remained silent for a long time, pondering them. Finally, he nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but there's still a problem. That is, my problem. Now everyone in the sect knows that my lifespan is coming to an end. It's hard to say how many people will still give me face. So I think there's no problem with the marriage alliance between Fucha and the Kong family, but the other families in the sect may not necessarily give Kongming face. So Fucha actually lacks a stronger background. How about this, you take Fucha as your disciple? What do you think?"

Upon hearing Kongming's suggestion, Fang Zhongyi was taken aback. He hadn't considered this possibility before, but now, after hearing Kongming's words, he began to think it over carefully. He then nodded and said, "It's feasible. I'll take Fucha as my disciple, and then Fucha will form a marriage alliance with the Kong family. To others, this will appear as my purpose in coming to you. Everyone knows your lifespan is nearing its end. You'll arrange a marriage between Fucha and the Kong family, and since Fucha is a disciple, even if you pass away, the Kong family will still have me as their backer. I originally had no influence in the sect, but once I become the Kong family's backer, the Kong family will become my influence. It's a win-win situation, and I think it's feasible."

Kongming nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. If you think it's feasible, then it's settled."

Fang Zhongyi shook his head and said, "This is not urgent. I need to make a phone call to the people in the sect to talk about this matter and see what their opinions are."

After saying that, Fang Zhongyi picked up the phone and called Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai answered the phone immediately. Kongming was surprised to see the projection of Wen Wenhai in front of him. They didn't have this kind of technology.

Fang Zhongyi, however, paid no heed to that and bowed directly to Wen Wenhai before speaking, "Elder Wen, our plan is progressing smoothly. Elder Kongming is now a member of the sect, though he hasn't officially joined yet. I just told him about the marriage alliance between the Fucha and Kong families, and he agreed. However, he has raised a new suggestion, which I'd like you to hear." Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead, I'm listening."

Fang Zhongyi responded and then relayed Kong Ming's suggestion to Wen Wenhai. After listening, Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "This method is feasible. Okay, let's do it this way. By the way, have we not informed Fucha about this yet? Should I call Fucha up as well, so we can discuss it together?"

Fang Zhongyi nodded in response, and Wen Wenhai immediately called Fucha online. As soon as Fucha logged on and saw Fang Zhongyi and Wen Wenhai, he immediately bowed to them. Then Wen Wenhai relayed Fang Zhongyi's words to Fucha.

After listening to Wen Wenhai's words, Fucha couldn't help but nod and say, "This is indeed feasible, but there is a problem. If we really do this, it would be like telling everyone that we are going to compete for the position of sect leader. Wouldn't that be too high-profile?"

Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, "What's there to be afraid of if you're a little high-profile now? You have the support of a Kingdom-level expert, and the support of the Kong family. No, to be precise, you have the support of two Kingdom-level experts. What do you have to worry about? And don't forget, Elder Kongming's public identity is that of a person who is about to pass away. In fact, such a person is the most difficult to deal with and the least likely to be provoked. Otherwise, if he were to go crazy before his death, he could take down any Kingdom-level expert. I'm afraid no one would take that risk, right? However, in this case, we need Elder Kongming's cooperation. After the marriage between Fucha and the government is confirmed, Elder Kongming might as well be a little more assertive. In this way, others should understand your meaning, and they will not dare to act recklessly. Instead, they will be more obedient."

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai's words, Fang Zhongyi and Kongming all nodded. Fang Zhongyi immediately said, "Yes, Elder Wen, I understand what to do."

Wen Wenhai nodded, then smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it with confidence. The sect will support you. Of course, you should also be careful not to expose yourself. If you are accidentally exposed, it doesn't matter. The sect will still support you, so don't worry."

The group responded, and Wen Wenhai then said, "I'll leave the matters at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to you. If any unexpected situations arise, you can make your own decisions and let me know. Okay, that's all." Fang Zhongyi and the others responded again, and then Wen Wenhai hung up the phone.

However, Fucha did not log off. Fang Zhongyi then spoke up, "I think we should do this: after I return, wait a few more days. During these days, Grandmaster Uncle, you should contact the Kong family and talk to them about the marriage alliance with Fucha. Once the Kong family has confirmed this, we will announce on the same day that I have accepted Fucha as my disciple and that Fucha is to be married to the Kong family. I believe that these two announcements will catch everyone off guard. What do you think?"

Kongming and Fucha both nodded. They were both very clear that once these two pieces of news were released, the entire Nine Yang Immortal Palace would be shaken. These were two pieces of news that were enough to change the ownership of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's sect leader, and they would definitely cause a stir in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

Fang Zhongyi then said, "Okay, it's settled then. Hang up." Fucha responded and then hung up the phone. Fang Zhongyi then turned to Kongming and said, "Grandmaster Uncle, here you go. You can use this to return to the sect at any time. Then you can learn more about the sect and claim all the benefits. But the marriage alliance must not be neglected. It must be handled as soon as possible."

Kongming accepted the teleportation array from Fang Zhongyi and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll handle it." Fang Zhongyi nodded and explained how to use the teleportation array. Then he stood up, and Kongming also stood up. Fang Zhongyi bowed to Kongming and said, "The sect's influence here in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace isn't very strong yet, and the two of us are the sect's representatives here. So we must be careful and do this well, because it will affect our future status in the sect. I won't say any more, Grandmaster Uncle, I'll return to Yun now."

Kongming nodded and returned the greeting. Fang Zhongyi then left his cave. After Fang Zhongyi left, Kongming glanced at the teleportation array in his hand. He thought for a moment, then returned to his room and activated the array. The next moment, he vanished from the room. Since no one would come to him now, and his cave was protected by a magic array, outsiders couldn't enter and wouldn't know what was happening inside. Therefore, he could use the teleportation array to return to the Blood Slaughter Sect at any time. He was extremely curious about the Blood Slaughter Sect. He was truly intrigued by their ability to silently plant so many spies within the Nine Yang Immortal Palace; their strength must be extraordinary. He really wanted to know the true extent of their power and what kind of sect they were. (End of Chapter)
