Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Han Yaodong finished speaking.

The takeover contract floated silently to Chang Wen's front and slowly unfolded in mid-air.

[Haoran Peak Takeover Contract]

[Haoran Peak has existed for 105,000 years since its founding. However, it has been found that the spiritual energy of Haoran Peak is gradually depleting, and its foundation is unstable, thus no longer meeting the conditions for continued existence.]

[According to Article 37 of the ancestral rules of the Haoran Immortal Sect: Any peak whose lineage is declining, whose number of disciples is less than three hundred, and which has ranked last for a hundred consecutive years, may be taken over by another peak after a public discussion among the 108 peak masters.]

The deliberations of the 108 peak leaders have concluded, and the results are as follows: 93 peaks agree to be taken over; 1 peak opposes the takeover; and 14 peaks abstain.

The public debate has concluded, and the legal principles are clear.

[From the date this contract is signed, Haoran Peak is officially taken over by the other peak masters. Haoran Peak Master Biyou Fairy and her disciples retain their status as disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect and will obey the arrangements of the takeover party.]

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, each stroke exuding boundless majesty.

The signature area bears the spiritual imprints of ninety-three peak masters, with the last line left blank, awaiting only Fairy Biyou's signature for the contract to be established.

Countless people looked at the contract and were filled with emotion.

Once Chang Wen signs the document, Haoran Peak will be under his control. Although I've never been to Haoran Peak, I always feel like something is missing.

Thinking of this, their eyes all fell on Chang Wen, wanting to witness history.

Lin Baoding and the 108 peak masters also looked at Chang Wen, their expressions varying.

"If I actually sign this, won't all the ancestors of Haoran Peak jump out of their graves and be taken away by me?"

Chang Wen smiled helplessly to himself. Composing himself, he coughed and began to implement his plan.

To protect Haoran Peak, their individual strength alone is certainly insufficient; they must leverage external forces. They must utilize every available opportunity.

Disciples, elders, and neutral peak masters are all forces he can leverage.

Chen Changsheng, Chu Xinghe, and the other three instantly understood and came to Chang Wen's side with great emotion.

"Senior Brother! You can't sign it!"

"If we sign this, won't we be constantly being gossiped about behind our backs?"

Chen Changsheng grabbed Chang Wen's arm, his expression worthy of an Oscar.

"Yes, Senior Brother! Have you forgotten our ancestral precepts of Haoran Peak?!"

Chu Xinghe grabbed Chang Wen's other arm, no less than Chen Changsheng.

"Senior Brother, don't sign! We grew up here. If we don't agree, what right do they have to take over this place?"

Lin Yuan has a fiery temper and does not back down even when facing 108 peak masters.

"Senior Brother..."

Su Xiaoman didn't know what her senior brothers were doing, but she knew she was standing with the eldest brother.

The unexpected scene brightened everyone's eyes and invigorated them.

What were they here for? Witnessing history was only one reason; their main purpose was to watch the spectacle.

Although Fairy Biyou didn't come, the event wasn't very lively. But a little excitement is still excitement, and it's better than no excitement at all.

People were very curious whether these juniors could really make waves in the hands of the peak masters.

Wait and see.

None of the peak masters spoke; they all looked at Chang Wen with expressions of reluctance.

To be honest, they don't necessarily want to take over Haoran Peak, but Haoran Peak covers such a vast area that if it could be developed and utilized, it would definitely elevate the overall strength of the Haoran Immortal Sect. They always prioritize the sect's interests, so they certainly can't ignore this situation.

If Fairy Biyou could truly revive Haoran Peak, they wouldn't bother bearing such infamy. But they had already given Fairy Biyou a full thousand years of grace, and Haoran Peak remained unchanged. For the sake of their sect, they had no choice but to take action.

Lin Baoding stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, showing no intention of helping.

If Chang Wen can stir up trouble, he can go with the flow. But if Chang Wen has no countermeasures, there's nothing he can do to help.

It can be said that how things will turn out depends entirely on what Chang Wen does next.

"Hehe, the ancestral precepts of Haoran Peak... of course I haven't forgotten them."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chang Wen slowly withdrew his arm and looked at the peak masters, saying, "As far back as I can remember, my master made me recite this repeatedly."

"The first rule of Haoran Peak: At all times, we must take the restoration of Haoran Peak as our own responsibility."

"Article Two."

"All disciples of Haoran Peak, regardless of their strength, must firmly uphold the sovereignty and integrity of Haoran Peak."

Article 3.

"Every disciple of Haoran Peak should take comprehending the Great Brightness Sutra as their lifelong goal and strive to achieve it."

After saying that, he looked at the other peak masters and said, "So, if Haoran Peak is to be taken over, I, Chang Wen, disagree."

"I disagree too!"

Without saying a word, Lin Yuan went straight to Chang Wen's side, his attitude resolute.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, what are you waiting for!"

Lin Yuan turned to look at Chen Changsheng and Chu Xinghe, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied that they hadn't stepped forward immediately.

I disagree.

Chu Xinghe thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and then went to Chang Wen's side.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Chen Changsheng then joined them.

Xiaoman also disagreed.

Seeing that all her senior brothers had spoken, Su Xiaoman also called out to the peak masters, looking both cute and fierce.

Silence fell over the room.

Seeing the five men stand up to the peak masters to protect Haoran Peak, the disciples and elders all became serious, influenced by the atmosphere.

Putting everything else aside, the cohesion among the five members of Haoran Peak is truly remarkable.

Even Lin Baoding and the other peak masters were momentarily dazed.

The scene before me was all too familiar.

A thousand years ago, the people of Haoran Peak gathered together, sparing no effort to cover Zhou Qing's escape. How similar is this scene to what's before our eyes?

Although there were few people, their spirit was just as strong, which was very moving.

"Unfortunately, we've reached a dead end, and all hope is lost."

Peak Master Han Yaodong stroked his beard, feeling a deep sense of regret. His gaze swept over Chang Wen and the other four.

"Um?"

This scan revealed something was wrong.

Although Chang Wen's cultivation level was mediocre, he possessed a powerful seal within his body, poised to be unleashed. Clearly, he was no ordinary person.

Looking at the little girl beside her, her bloodline seemed strangely familiar. She vaguely resembled that madman from the east.

"hiss…"

He was slightly startled and immediately looked at Lin Yuan, who was the most conspicuous, before freezing in place.

Is it a direct descendant of the Taotie?

So, he looked at Chen Changsheng and Chu Xinghe with unwavering determination, each of them exuding something extraordinary.

The other peak masters also noticed this, and their expressions turned strange. They had thought that Fairy Biyou's absence meant she was resigned to her fate, but they hadn't expected her to be waiting for them here!

Given the background and qualifications demonstrated by Chang Wen and the other four, who would dare to touch them?

"That's a really good game of chess."

Han Yaodong shook his head and gave a wry smile. "It's a pity that my junior sister already promised to make the agreement three hundred years ago. Does she intend to openly stand us old guys up?"

The other peak masters also looked helpless; they had long anticipated this situation. But they had already waited for Fairy Biyou for a thousand years, which was more than enough. They couldn't let Haoran Peak continue to fall into disrepair.

Just then, Lin Baoding looked at Han Yaodong and reminded him, "Junior Brother Yaodong, I may not have conveyed the message clearly just now. Junior Sister Biyou said she is willing to honor her bet and agrees to return Haoran Peak to the sect. If you have any questions, you can discuss it with Chang Wen."

Han Yaodong...

Peak Masters...

Chang Wen...
