Chapter 518: The Sect Leader’s Position

Not long after the Battle of Huangquan ended, the Wuji Sect sent out invitations to heroes and held a ceremony to appoint the sect leader as the successor.

In fact, everyone was prepared. Sect Leader Ling Yungao was said to have gone insane and gone into seclusion to recuperate. There had been no news about him in all these years, so it was likely that he had met with an accident.

Besides, everyone knew that his ascension was a temporary measure, and that Young Master Ling, who possessed the Demon Suppression Cauldron, was the true successor. Now that Young Master Ling had cured his meridians and achieved a breakthrough in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, it was only natural that the position of Master should be returned to him.

Therefore, there had been rumors about the succession ceremony of the clan leader a long time ago, and although the time was a bit tight, everyone who was supposed to go went.

Ling Bufei, wearing a Tai Chi suit and a Yin-Yang crown, bowed in the Patriarch Hall in the presence of all parties, took over the order of the Sect Master, and became the legitimate Sect Master of the Wuji Sect.

When he turned around, the elders in the hall, led by Wen Rujin, bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Sect Master."

Next came the outer elite disciples. You Yan was the first to speak: "Greetings, Sect Master."

Finally, the disciples in the square said in unison: "Greetings, Master."

Waves of sound spread out from Yunwu Mountain and echoed on the surface of the mountain lake.

Ling Bufei turned his head to look to the side. Hua Wusheng and Venerable Kurumu had tears in their eyes, and they were both relieved and moved.

He looked to the other side again: Baili Xu, Ying Shaoguang...only one person was missing.

His fluctuating emotions were quickly calmed down, and he showed a proper and dignified smile, and replied: "Disciples, please stand up."

Ling Bufei felt as calm as if he was wearing a hard shell, and he followed the complicated etiquette, taking one step at a time.
-
Inside Songtao Pavilion, Ling Bufei stood in front of the railing and looked at the mountains in the distance.

The mountains are vast and the lake is surging. He never knew that Yunwu Mountain was so beautiful and empty.

There were footsteps behind him, followed by a mocking voice: "Sect Master Ling is so majestic! He has reached the top, and all the sects have come to congratulate him. No one can reach his height anymore."

Ling Bufei turned around and saw Ji Xingge walking in, looking very angry.

After the battle of Xuanbing Palace, she returned to Qifeng Valley. Unexpectedly, everything changed in such a short period of time.

"Xiao Ji, how is your injury?" Ling Bufei asked.

His calmness made Ji Xingge furious, and he slammed the table and shouted, "Ling Bufei, do you have any shame? Who cured your meridians? Who helped you practice your swordsmanship? Now that you are arrogant, you just throw people aside, right? Do you still remember that Junior Sister Bai suffered in Huangquan? You are no longer useful, so you are demolishing the bridge after crossing the river? You are a scumbag!"

Before Ling Bufei could reply, Ying Shaoguang hurried in: "My aunt, can you not be so impatient? I just said a few words and you came here in a hurry to accuse me. Can you listen to me?"

"What else is there to say?" Ji Xingge was angry. "The facts are laid out before him. What else can he explain?"

Just as Ying Shaoguang was about to speak, Ling Bufei said, "There's nothing to explain."

Ji Xingge got even angrier, pointed at him, turned around and said to Ying Shaoguang: "Listen to this, listen to this, you still want to excuse him, he doesn't need it!"

But Ling Bufei continued to ask: "Then what do you think I should do? Refuse the wanted order and fight the Immortal Alliance to the end? Lead my men to rush over and open the Huangquan barrier regardless of casualties? Or give up the position of sect leader and go to Huangquan to live and die with her?" Ji Xingge paused: "Uh..."

She thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, she shouldn't suffer. Are you feeling proud?"

"Who said he was smug?" Ying Shaoguang finally found a chance to interrupt, "Look at him, does he look smug?"

Ji Xingge took a look and saw that Ling Bufei was naturally solemn and proper today, but there was no smile on his face and his whole body was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

Seeing her lower her head, Ying Shaoguang sighed and said, "Young Sect Master... Oh, it's not that Sect Master doesn't want to save Junior Sister Bai, but there is no other choice now. The situation has come to this point, and he can't just rely on himself. Danxia Palace has made it clear that it wants to avenge this, and all the major immortal sects are on their side for their own interests. Whether it's entering the Yellow Springs barrier or restoring Junior Sister Bai's sanity, we must rely on the power of the sect. This idea was my own, so if you're angry, just vent it on me."

Ji Xingge pursed his lips and whispered, "What do you mean I'm attacking you? You're making me sound unreasonable."

Ying Shaoguang was so angry that he laughed: "Why don't you listen to me when you are talking about reason? Why do you rush over here and scold me?"

Ji Xingge felt guilty but said stubbornly: "Isn't it because you didn't get to the point?"

Ying Shaoguang was speechless: "Yes, yes, it's my fault."

He pulled the two of them to sit down at the tea table and said, "Have you explained the misunderstanding? Now let's talk properly."

Ji Xingge asked, "Have you figured out how to save Junior Sister Bai? How did she become a demon king? Isn't the Jade Tempering Body unaffected by demonic energy? Can it be restored?"

Ying Shaoguang briefly explained the situation and said, "Not long ago, Master Xu found a note in his collection of books, which recorded an incident. In the early years, there was also an immortal king with a jade-hardened body who suddenly became possessed by a demon. The sect leader and I have studied it carefully, and combined with the opinions of Master Wen and others, we believe that Junior Sister Bai is not really possessed by a demon, but her mind has been affected by an external demon."

At that time, Wen Rujin believed that the immortal was not possessed by a demon, but had a path in his heart. A person with a jade-hardened body does not think that demonic energy is harmful, and the world in his eyes is different from that of ordinary people.

"Then, is the world in Junior Sister Bai's eyes different from ours?" Ji Xingge asked worriedly.

It was Ling Bufei who answered her: "She really doesn't care much about being a fairy or a demon, but becoming a demon king is definitely not her wish. Do you know why she wants to go back to Wuji Sect with me instead of going to Danxia Palace?"

"why?"

Thinking of what happened in Phoenix Mountain, Ling Bufei was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Because she wants to control her own destiny."

Bai Mengjin had never said this to him, but after spending decades together, how could he not notice it? She had a spirit in her heart that supported her and she would never give in.

"...In short, based on the clues found by Master Xu, we believe that Meng Jin's jade-tempered body is still a jade-tempered body, and the demon seed that was implanted in her body forcibly occupied her dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, causing her mind to be obscured."

Ji Xingge pondered over this sentence, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "In other words, Junior Sister Bai's demonic possession is reversible!"

"Yes." Ying Shaoguang continued, "As long as her consciousness is not erased, we have a chance to save her."

"Great!" Ji Xingge was overjoyed and asked humbly, "What should we do next? Can we break the barrier of Huangquan?"

Ling Bufei and Ying Shaoguang looked at each other and then at her: "It depends on you."
