Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

After hearing this, no one could help but sigh at the ups and downs of the past.

There are many more discussions like this. I believe that after today, some new disciples will have a new understanding of Haoran Peak.

As time went by, more and more people appeared on the summit of Haoran Peak.

With no space left on the ground, the cultivators stood in mid-air, eager to witness this moment that would be recorded in the history of the Haoran Sect.

When the 108 peak masters appeared one after another, the originally noisy scene quieted down for a moment, followed by a wave of discussion.

The Peak Master is the highest symbol of power besides the Sect Master. They are also the true backbone of the Vast Immortal Sect, and each one of them is a prominent figure in the Northern Wilderness.

Their deeds were passed down orally by the disciples and elders, and discussed one by one. Among them, the one who was discussed the most was naturally the Peak Master of Qionghua.

The recent loan scandal involving Chang Wen has not yet subsided and remains a topic of conversation among many of his disciples.

Now that the Peak Master of Qionghua has come in person, will he take this opportunity to make things difficult for Chang Wen?

Some say that the Peak Master of Qionghua Peak, being of such high status, wouldn't be petty with his disciples. Others say that the Peak Master of Qionghua Peak would make things difficult for Chang Wen, forcing him to return the principal and interest.

Opinions vary. Only time will tell what the final answer is.

Lin Baoding also came.

As the sect leader of Haoran Sect, a true giant in the Northern Wilderness, his arrival naturally attracted much attention.

Many disciples came specifically to see him, and their wish was fulfilled.

After his arrival, the disciples tacitly fell silent. The previously deafening murmurs quickly subsided, and they soon quieted down. Everyone craned their necks, eager to see what would happen next.

Lin Baoding scanned the entire area, and after confirming that there were no problems, he looked towards the entrance of Haoran Peak courtyard.

He was already the center of attention, and his every move drew the gaze of countless people. Following his gaze, people discovered that five figures had appeared at the entrance of the courtyard at some unknown time.

It was Chang Wen and his four fellow disciples. Except for Shen Nianqing, who was resting in the house, everyone else had arrived.

After the group was spotted, a murmur of discussion arose.

Which one is Changwen?

"It must be the one in the middle. The others are all half a body length behind him."

"Putting everything else aside, he's quite handsome. I wish he were my Daoist partner."

"That's superficial. This is the Vast Immortal Sect; everything is based on strength. What good is being handsome?"

"Hey? I suddenly realized something."

"What's the problem?"

"Isn't he supposed to have no cultivation? How come I sense Foundation Establishment level fluctuations emanating from him?"

"I sensed that too. But some people say he double-crossed Elder Qionghua Peak a few days ago. How could someone at the Foundation Establishment stage possibly do that?"

"Are they hiding their true strength?"

"Stop guessing, you'll find out soon enough."

"Look, look! The Peak Master of Qionghua is sizing him up. There's definitely something to it in that look."

"Isn't this normal? If someone had betrayed your son, would you have swallowed your anger? Especially since he's the leader of a peak?"

"This is going to be interesting."

People were buzzing with discussion, feeling the trip was worthwhile. Besides the sect's history and these important figures, they might see something else entirely.

next moment.

The room fell silent.

As expected, Han Yaodong, the master of Qionghua Peak, stepped forward first, cupped his fists in a salute to Lin Baoding, and said, "Sect Master, the three-hundred-year agreement has come to an end. Junior Sister Biyou has not yet shown herself; could it be that she intends to break the agreement?"

Although the tone was unreadable, the words were sharp and full of hostility.

"I won't breach the contract, but she definitely won't be coming."

Lin Baoding spoke in a calm tone, his demeanor far beyond that of a hermit.

"What do you mean?"

Qionghua Peak Master Han Yaodong was puzzled. The other peak masters also looked at Lin Baoding, with the same question. What did he mean by "not intending to breach the contract, but not coming"?

"She has already sent a message to me, entrusting the entire authority to handle the three-hundred-year agreement to her eldest disciple, Chang Wen. Chang Wen's words are her words. Chang Wen's decisions are her decisions."

Lin Baoding explained. Even though there was no deliberate enhancement, his voice carried for dozens of miles, reaching the ears of countless people. Hearing this, everyone felt reassured and grateful to be disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

However, they had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment, as they were deeply attracted by what Lin Baoding was saying.

The three-hundred-year agreement is a matter of life and death for Haoran Peak.

As the master of a peak, Fairy Biyou actually entrusted this matter to her disciple?

Is it an attempt to shift blame, or is it an overestimation of Chang Wen's abilities?

This issue itself has already overshadowed all the public opinion today.

Even the peak masters exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting such a thing to happen. Fairy Biyou, as always, doesn't play by the rules.

They had mentally rehearsed what might happen today countless times and made thorough preparations. But they still miscalculated.

"Sect Master, did I hear that right? Junior Sister Biyou wants Chang Wen to take charge of the handover of Haoran Peak?"

Even Qionghua Peak Master Han Yaodong doubted that he had misheard, and couldn't help but ask again.

"That's right. Regardless of the outcome, the entire process will be handled by Chang Wen."

Lin Baoding nodded.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at Chang Wen, scrutinizing him from all sides.

Chang Wen...

As the person directly involved, his mind was completely blank at this moment. What did it mean that he was fully responsible for the three-hundred-year agreement?

Is this something a human being could do?

I poured my heart out to you about bribing the sect leader beforehand, and you really don't treat me like a human being.

"So, when you told me to find my own way to overcome any difficulties, that's what you meant?"

Recalling the graceful figure of Fairy Biyou, Chang Wen felt helpless and powerless.

The three-hundred-year agreement is something that only a great figure like the peak master can decide. What can a disciple like him change?

Originally, I thought that even if Fairy Biyou was unreliable, she would return today to take charge. With Lin Baoding assisting, even if Haoran Peak couldn't be saved, the outcome wouldn't be too bad. But now…

It's hard to say.

Asking one of his disciples to negotiate with 108 big shots, and that's a done deal, are you sure you're not joking?

"In the end, I bore the brunt of it all alone..."

Chang Wen's expression returned to normal, and his mind began to race. He considered what might happen next and how to deal with it.

Although it was a mess, as the senior disciple of Haoran Peak, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by and watch Haoran Peak be taken over. He had to find a way.

Most importantly, if Haoran Peak is taken over, how will his system still work?

"You're so dense, hurry up and get it working!"

……

While Chang Wen was trying to come up with a solution, the peak masters had already reached a consensus.

In their view, Fairy Biyou knew that things couldn't be changed, which was why she didn't return. They then instructed Chang Wen to proceed with the formalities.

That's most likely the case.

Realizing this, they decided not to waste any more time and prepared to get down to business.

Han Yaodong, the master of Qionghua Peak, volunteered to be in charge of the negotiations.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at Chang Wen, "Junior Nephew Chang Wen, since Junior Sister Biyou has put you in charge of the overall situation, she must have already told you the cause and effect."

"You are a junior, so I won't pressure you. You can sign the takeover contract for Haoran Peak on behalf of Junior Sister Biyou."
