A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

"Please calm down, everyone!" Yang Hongyuan raised his hand to quiet the crowd, and the murmurs in the hall instantly subsided. "Perhaps you are all a little unfamiliar with Junior Sister Gao, but you all certainly know her parents!"

He paused, then continued, "Junior Sister Gao's father was none other than the former Peak Master of Talisman Peak, Gao Qiangchao! Back then, Gao Qiangchao was incredibly powerful and highly respected, and he almost became the Sect Master of Tianhai Sect! Later, he suddenly passed away, and the position of Peak Master of Talisman Peak was temporarily managed by Du Juenian. Now, Du Juenian is attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm and has voluntarily stepped down, returning the position to Junior Sister Gao—it's only right! Junior Sister Gao is intelligent, possesses considerable strength, and has the legacy of the late Senior Gao. I think she's a suitable candidate for Sect Master! Junior Sister Gao, you should also participate! As a Peak Master, you should definitely run for the position!"

Gao Rushi took a deep breath, feeling the gazes of everyone, and thinking of Chen Yang's plan and encouragement, her anxiety was gradually replaced by determination.

She slowly stood up, her posture upright, a faint composure on her face, and said calmly, "Since Senior Brother Yang has said so, then I will also participate in the election!"

Seeing Yang Hongyuan's strong support for Gao Rushi, and upon learning that she was Gao Qiangchao's daughter, the seven elders understood immediately and said nothing more. Yang Hongyuan held an extremely high position in the Tianhai Sect. Although he wasn't surnamed Ma, he was incredibly powerful and was the sect's top alchemist. Most of the Tianhai Sect's income depended on his alchemy. He was also a strong contender for the position of sect leader, so naturally no one wanted to offend him. Gao Qiangchao, on the other hand, had a very high reputation among the older generation of cultivators, and recommending his daughter would be convincing.

Now, there are five candidates for sect leader!

The seven Supreme Elders then looked at the remaining First-Level Elders. These elders exchanged glances and shook their heads. Many of the First-Level Elders were surnamed Ma and already supported Ma Yong. Now that Ma Yong had entered the election, they naturally would not stand up to divide the votes.

The other first-level elders also knew that their status, strength, and contributions were far inferior to those of the transmission elders and the major peak masters. Even if they participated in the election, they would have no chance of winning, so they simply gave up the idea of ​​running for office.

Zhou Xing surveyed the scene before him, his eyes sharp, and said in a deep voice, "Good! Now all the candidates for sect leader have been chosen! You five, now think carefully about your specific suggestions and ideas regarding the management and development of the sect, as well as how to deal with the current crisis! Tomorrow at noon, present your views and outline your policy agenda in this council hall! The decision will be made jointly by you, the Supreme Elder Council, Elder Ma, and myself! Meeting adjourned!"

"yes!"

Everyone rose and bowed, then left the council hall one after another, each with a different expression on their face—confidence, solemnity, and resentment.

Gao Rushi's heart was still racing, and her face was somewhat pale. She quickly walked out of the council hall and headed towards Fulu Peak—she needed to discuss countermeasures with Chen Yang as soon as possible, as her campaign speech tomorrow was of paramount importance!

Back in her cave, Chen Yang was already there with a grin, hugging her tightly and asking anxiously with concern, "Sister Rushi! How did it go? Did the election go smoothly? Did anyone deliberately make things difficult for you?"

Gao Rushi wrapped her arms around Chen Yang's neck, her face full of helplessness. She sighed softly and said, "Chen Yang, there are too many competitors! Elder Ma Yong, who transmits his skills, and the peak masters of the Formation Peak, Breeding Peak, and Alchemy Peak are all formidable rivals! They are either very experienced, extremely powerful, or have made significant contributions! I feel my chances are slim! I am neither the strongest nor the one who has made the greatest contribution, and I don't have much management experience. This time, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"

Seeing Gao Rushi's anxious expression, Chen Yang laughed and patted her shoulder, his tone relaxed and confident: "Senior Sister Rushi, don't worry! There's always a solution to every problem. Everything will be solved little by little!"

Gao Rushi gently shook her head, her face full of emotion: "Actually, if it weren't for Peak Master Yang suddenly speaking up for me today, I probably wouldn't even have gotten a candidate position, let alone be able to participate in the election tomorrow!"

"Hehe!" Chen Yang smiled mysteriously, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to Gao Rushi, saying, "Senior Sister Rushi, let's go, we have guests!"

Gao Rushi looked at him with a puzzled expression: "A guest? Who is it?"

Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside the cave, tinged with respect: "Master Gaofeng, Mr. Chen, I, Yang, have come to request an audience!"

It's Yang Hongyuan!

Gao Rushi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Yang with a face full of surprise—she hadn't sensed Yang Hongyuan's aura at all, while Chen Yang had sensed it in advance. This kid's mental strength had actually become so powerful!

"What is Peak Master Yang doing here at this time?" Gao Rushi wondered.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves?" Chen Yang smiled as he stood up and walked towards the council hall of Fu Lu Peak.

The council hall was brightly lit, filled with the faint aroma of spiritual tea. Several simple wooden tables were neatly arranged, and the bright moonlight outside the window shone on the bluestone floor, giving it a soft, silvery glow.

Soon, Chen Yang and Gao Rushi met Yang Hongyuan in the hall.

Yang Hongyuan was dressed in a red alchemy robe with a jade pendant carved with an alchemy furnace pattern hanging at his waist. He had a warm smile on his face and was polite and courteous when he looked at Gao Rushi, but when he turned to Chen Yang, his eyes were full of awe and respect, and he lowered his posture to the lowest level.
