In truth, he had never told Heartless Dao Lord one fact.
Hibiscus Pavilion was actually a property of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. The Heavenly Machine Pavilion was a secret organization established by the Interception Sect. It had already been founded at this time and was placed in charge of by the outer disciple Ji Fa.
By the time Sect Master Tongtian entered this era through the Time Formation, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was still under Ji Fa's leadership, and it was operating with extraordinary success.
Ji Fa served as the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, Shen Gongbao served as the Hall Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Hall, Great Immortal Wuyun served as the Hall Master of the Discipline Hall, Niangniang Shi Ji served as the Hall Master of the Goddess Hall, and Old Ancestor of the Sea of Blood served as the Hall Master of the Black Wind Hall.
This arrangement had never changed. However, all five of them had already trained at least three successors, and most of the important matters were now handled by these new-generation leaders. They spent more and more of their time behind the scenes.
This was to prepare in advance for the succession of power in the future.
All five were members of the Elder Council of the Interception Sect. Even after stepping down, they would still be pillars of the Interception Sect.
That would never change.
Unless they chose to leave!
However, given their personalities, that was basically impossible. After all, none of them were ambitious people. They had accepted their positions only to do a little more for the Interception Sect.
Daoist Kong Xuan, Old Ancestor Kunpeng, Daoist Lu Ya, and the others were the same. They were unwilling to leave Golden Ao Island, much less leave the Interception Sect.
