The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 34 Jade Purity Sect Master
Yuqing Waterfall, east bank.

After flying through the clouds for about fifteen minutes, Ling Weiyun's clone followed Elder Liu through rows of elegant pavilions.

A magnificent jade building suddenly appeared before the two of them; it was the Jade Purity Hall, where the Jade Purity Sect Master held his meetings.

"Elder Ling, we've arrived!"

Elder Liu turned around to give a special reminder, fearing that the man from the mountains might speak disrespectfully later.

"Hmm, let's go. This old man still knows these rules!" Ling Weiyun's clone replied indifferently. Inwardly, he scoffed: What a joke! The rules of the assassin organization are so strict they'll make you despair. Even if a superior has just stepped in a footprint that hasn't been erased yet, if a subordinate dares to step in it and is discovered, at best they'll lose a finger, at worst… hahaha!

"The sect leader instructed that Elder Ling, you may go in alone; I will wait here!"

"Very well, thank you for your trouble, Elder Liu..."

The two men faced each other, cupping their hands in a fist salute.

After speaking, Ling Weiyun's clone turned around and strode into the Yuqing Palace, neither humble nor arrogant.

The Jade Purity Sect Master sent me alone, so he must have something important he wants to discuss with me privately. That's fine; I also have something to ask him. Besides, does he dare to eat me?
"Haha, I've long heard that a distinguished person has descended upon our territory, and today I finally get to meet him!"

As soon as he stepped halfway through the door, a hearty and humble laugh rang in his ears, and Ling Weiyun's clone couldn't help but feel a surge of goodwill!
Before seeing the person, one can already hear their voice!
"Sect Master flatters me. I am but a humble villager from the mountains. How could I possibly be worthy of such a title?"

Upon entering the hall, the doors closed automatically. Ling Weiyun's clone bowed and clasped his hands in greeting before carefully examining the middle-aged man in his forties seated at the head of the table.

The Jade Purity Sect Master had a full forehead, wore a purple-gold crown, and was dressed in magnificent clothes. Every gesture he made exuded the aura of a superior.

What a young and promising legendary powerhouse!
This was the second impression that Feng Tianjue, the sect leader of Yuqing Sect, gave to Ling Weiyun's clone. The first impression was naturally that he was cheerful and unrestrained!
"Mr. Ling, please take a seat!"

The Jade Purity Sect Master stroked his hand and revealed a slight smile, appearing approachable and not putting on airs in front of others despite being the head of a sect.

After Ling Weiyun's clone bowed in thanks and took his seat, Feng Tianjue secretly observed him. A thought struck him: "This old man is full of energy and vigor. His aura is profound and restrained. Although he is old, his sharpness is not diminished! His kind and benevolent face is somewhat like that of a bodhisattva or a deity. Perhaps he can really help me eliminate some of the troubles within the sect!"

Ling Weiyun and Feng Tianjue were both secretly watching each other, each with their own thoughts, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment. Fortunately, Feng Tianjue spoke up again.

"It's quite a strange story! A few days ago, at night, Tianjue dreamt of an old Taoist priest riding an ox. This priest, with his otherworldly air and refined demeanor, uttered four lines of maxim: 'When a Bodhisattva descends within the Jade Purity Realm, all kinds of evil spirits will have nowhere to hide. Only by coercing and enticing him to enter can the worries in your heart be resolved!'"

"It seems that Elder Ling is the Bodhisattva mentioned in the dream! Tianjue had no other choice but to resort to this tactic, and I hope you will forgive him for causing you such distress!"

Feng Tianjue, showing great respect for talent, stood up and bowed to express his apology, clearly indicating that he valued Ling Weiyun highly.

If the disciples and elders of the Jade Purity Sect saw this scene, they would definitely slap themselves in the face to see if they were dreaming!
Feng Tianjue: Sect Master of Yuqing Sect, a legendary Ghost Spirit Master at the peak of the thirteenth level. He is naturally unrestrained and bold, with a sharp edge that he never easily compromises with anyone, except, of course, his own precious daughter.

At this moment, Feng Tianjue also felt bitter. He silently comforted himself, "Alas, a true man can bend and stretch. It is only right and wrong that I should apologize to them first. That way, it will be easier to win them over in the future!"

An old Taoist priest riding an ox!?
Ling Weiyun's clone was startled, then felt a warm feeling in his heart and said: It must be Master! I just don't know how he got into someone's dream?
Although Feng Ling did not understand the mystery, it was clearly not the time to think about such things.

"I am old and my memory is failing. What's past is past! I hope Sect Master Tianjue will tell me the clues you have, so that I can investigate further!"

Ling Weiyun's clone rose to return the greeting and got straight to the point. The evil spirit master was the issue he was most concerned about.

Upon first entering the Jade Purity Sect, he knew nothing about the sect's situation. If he were to undertake this task without any intelligence, he would be no different from a headless fly!
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianjue's expression grew solemn, and he released a thick layer of ghostly and divine power, blocking out all sound.

Immediately afterwards, inside the Jade Purity Hall, the Jade Purity Sect Master and Ling Weiyun's avatar engaged in a long, mysterious conversation whose contents remained unknown to others…

……

"Sir, you are truly an extraordinary person, and your insights are indeed profound!" After a long while, Feng Tian finally let out a heartfelt exclamation of praise to Ling Weiyun.

"Yidao, go and summon all the elders immediately!"

Their voices traveled through the main hall and reached Liu Yidao's ears, clearly indicating that the two were having a pleasant conversation.

Immediately, Elder Liu quickly gathered the other dozen or so elders to hold an honorary elder conferment ceremony for Ling Weiyun's clone!
"A luxurious mansion is bestowed upon the Honorary Elder... I bow in reverence!"

"Bestowed with a Guardian's Token for the Ghost Tower... Bowing in reverence!" "Bestowed with a Disciplinary Guest Elder Token, granting the privilege of executing first and reporting later... Bowing in reverence!"

……

Under the witness of the elders, Ling Weiyun's clone completed a series of extremely complicated rituals and officially became a high-ranking member of the Jade Purity Sect.

In fact, because Feng Tianju disregarded the strong opposition of some people, he insisted on expanding his power to the level of the third-in-command in the sect, which shows the extent of Feng Tianju's trust in him!

In fact, Feng Tianjue believed in Ling Weiyun's character, but he wouldn't have dared to make such a big bet if he hadn't heard some shocking news!
Just two days ago, not long after Feng Ling left, the Jade Purity Sect Master received a secret report from a civilian spy—Gujing Village had built a temple dedicated to the living bodhisattva Ling Weiyun in gratitude for the great philanthropist! On the very first day the temple was completed, people from all directions came to pay their respects, and afterwards, pilgrims flocked to it in an endless stream!

Of course, neither Feng Ling's main body nor his clone knows about these things yet!

"Elder Ling, congratulations, congratulations..."

A smiling, seventy-year-old man with white hair and a youthful face was the first to step forward to offer his congratulations. The others approached with varying expressions, but they all subtly regarded him as the leader.

"Thank you! Elder, you're too kind!" Ling Weiyun returned the greeting politely with clasped hands, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

The white-haired, youthful-looking old man, named Long Yuzhong, is an eleventh-rank legendary ghost spirit master. He is the Grand Elder of the Yuqing Sect, second only to Feng Tianjue in status, and is also the person in charge of the peaks on the west bank of Yuqing Waterfall!

According to Feng Tianjue's bitter smile, in recent years, Long Yuzhong's authority has continued to expand, and his henchmen are countless, which has already begun to threaten his position as sect leader.

If it weren't for Long Yuzhong and the others keeping a watchful eye on things and dragging things out, Feng Tianjue would probably have already mobilized a large number of people to thoroughly investigate the case of the evil spirit master!

It can be said that the reason why evil spirit masters were able to infiltrate the Jade Purity Sect was largely because they took advantage of the loopholes in the sect's internal strife.

"Sect Master, I am not convinced! Is this Ghost Locking Tower really going to be guarded by an old fellow of unknown origin?" Just as Ling Weiyun was pondering this, a discordant and sarcastic remark rang out.

"Hmph! Elder Luo Bin, do you have a more suitable candidate? How about... you take the position?"

Feng Tianjue snorted coldly at the hook-nosed old man with his fists clasped, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He thought to himself: This Luo Bin has always been petty and rude. It's one thing to let it go on ordinary days, but at this solemn and respectful moment, he actually dares to openly contradict me. His heart is despicable!

"This..." The hook-nosed old man hesitated, then lowered his head and remained silent. After a moment's thought, he immediately sneered in his heart: "You're just waiting to make a mistake and be punished for being a worthless guardian!"

Although the Ghost Locking Tower is the core and important place of every sect, guarding the tower is definitely a boring and tedious job, and requires leading and protecting the disciples who enter the Ghost Locking Tower for training every day.

Normally, if nothing goes wrong, everything is fine. But if something goes wrong and results in the death of a disciple, the responsibility depends on the disciple's status; it can be big or small!
"Alright, elders, go back and inform your disciples to prepare. The Ghost Locking Tower trial will soon be organized and started by the new honorary elders!"

Feng Tianjue waved his hand, and everyone immediately responded respectfully and withdrew. As for how many of them were truly respectful, that remains to be seen.

The grand ceremony ended in discord.

Apart from Elders Feng Tianjue and Liu Yidao, who genuinely offered their blessings, most of the elders remained indifferent, as if it were none of their business.

Ling Weiyun was not angry. He knew that he had just arrived and had received such preferential treatment. If he did not make some practical contributions, it would be difficult to win people's hearts!

"Brother Ling, look! This is the library, that's the dueling arena, and there's the Ghost Locking Tower that you'll be responsible for guarding... over there!"

Elder Liu Yidao was a warm-hearted person and took the initiative to lead Ling Weiyun's clone around the Yuqing Peaks to help him quickly familiarize himself with the affairs of the sect.

"This Liu Yidao is a good person. He's straightforward and unpretentious, and someone worth befriending!"

Ling Weiyun nodded in response, a desire to befriend Liu Yidao secretly forming in his heart. Little did he know that his decision would soon lead to the formation of three inseparable sworn brothers within the Jade Purity Sect—Ling Weiyun, Liu Yidao, and Feng Tianjue!

Regardless of the future, let's return to the present.

At the foot of Yuqing Sect Mountain, an uninvited guest arrived once again...

"This Feng Tianjue is quite good at winning people over; he even refers to himself by his real name when talking to me!"

A man stood at the foot of Yuqing Waterfall, muttering to himself. His gaze was fixed straight ahead, a long spear in his hand, his bearing imposing, as the breeze stirred his hair and robes… How utterly beautiful!
This person is Feng Ling, who will work with Ling Weiyun's clone to turn the tide and save the Yuqing Sect!
