Bihai Immortal Sect's Scheme! Succession Ceremony!

The following morning.

A few wisps of silvery stars still floated in the sky, while a pale pink dawn had already spread across the east, like silk dyed by a fairy's brush, bringing joy to the heart and soul.

Zhang Xuanchen woke Zhang Xuanli from her sleep early.

They boarded Flying Boat and flew towards Xuanxiao Mountain.

From above, the mountains and forests are still shrouded in morning mist, with the occasional crane flapping its wings and soaring by, its cry breaking the dawn.

Bihai Immortal Sect.

Yang Haoyu frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand.

Three or four hours had passed since he received the news that Zhang Hongzhan intended to pass the position of Patriarch to Zhang Xuanchen.

He's been sitting here the whole time.

I couldn't quite understand what Zhang Hongzhan meant by doing this.

The other party is thirty years younger than him and has plenty of lifespan, so why relinquish power so early?

Doesn't he feel any regret at all?

Or is he planning to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage?

Or is there some other conspiracy?

As far as he knew, Zhang Xuanchen was not yet seventeen years old, and had not even reached the Foundation Establishment. How could he possibly stabilize people's hearts?

How to gain the trust of one's clansmen?

As he pondered these thoughts, Yang Haoyu even began to experience signs of developing Inner Demon.

He possesses Dual Spirit Root, so he should have broken through to the Golden Core stage long ago.

But it's precisely because he enjoys power and the feelings that power brings him.

He was fascinated by the power of life and death.

If he were to pass on the position of Sect Leader to someone else and be promoted to Supreme Elder, it would mean that he would no longer be able to concern himself with the affairs of the sect.

Living in seclusion behind the scenes is not what he wants.

As he pondered, Yang Haoyu's eyes slowly turned blood red, and his internal energy became extremely chaotic.

"Yu'er, you're too attached to appearances."

An aged but authoritative voice resounded in the Main Hall.

It is awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

This instantly startled Yang Haoyu awake.

He was sweating profusely, and a flicker of fear crossed his eyes.

He almost, almost Qi Deviation.

He then respectfully bowed to the white-haired Elder in a black Daoist robe who had appeared in the Main Hall at some unknown time.

He said with remorse:

"I'm sorry, Master, I've let you down."

That's right, the Elder was Yang Haoyu's master, the pinnacle of combat power in the Bihai Immortal Sect.

Late Golden Core cultivator, True Person Canghun!

True Person Canghun looked at his disciple before him, gently shook his head, and said in a calm and unhurried tone:

"No, Yu'er, you have never disappointed your teacher."

A desire for power is a good thing, because it can motivate you to cultivate yourself.

As long as you maintain a proper balance between power and self-cultivation, it won't affect you.

You only need to remember one thing: only those with strength have the possibility of enjoying rights.

The words of the True Person Canghun enlightened Yang Haoyu, and his heart gradually calmed down.

He bowed to his master once more.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I have learned a great deal."

He then asked, "Master, should our Bihai Immortal Sect send someone to Zhang Xuanchen's succession ceremony?"

"Yes, of course I'll go."

Although the Zhang Family did not hold a grand ceremony, they still invited many powerful figures. Not to mention, the Wang Family Fentian Island, the Xuandan Sect of Lingxi Island, and the Su Family would definitely send people to attend.

More importantly, all of the Zhang Family's Affiliated Force will be present this time.

How could my Bihai Immortal Sect let go of such a good opportunity to suppress the Zhang Family and win over the hearts of the people?

Yang Haoyu roughly understood what his master meant.

He spoke up, "You mean, at the height of the Zhang Family's power, you send a sect's Heavenly Talent to challenge the younger generation of the Zhang Family?"

And defeat it.

"To suppress the arrogance of the Zhang Family and Su Family's alliance and demonstrate the strength of our Bihai Immortal Sect?"

The more Yang Haoyu thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and the wider his smile grew.

Recently, news of a marriage alliance between the Zhang and Su families has caused the forces in the Penglai Islands that were originally inclined towards the Bihai Immortal Sect to waver again.

It's annoying.

If they achieve a complete victory over the Zhang Family at this ceremony, the outcome is predictable.

At that time, the probability of winning over these fickle individuals will definitely increase significantly, and it may even be possible to shake the morale of the Zhang and Su families.

This was used to poach some of the two companies' Affiliated Force.

Both companies were severely damaged.

As for refusing to fight, that's no different from admitting defeat!

The Zhang Family would never do such a thing.

Hearing Yang Haoyu's words, True Person Canghun nodded in satisfaction.

This is also the reason why, even though they saw through him, they still appointed him as the Sect Leader.

Smart, understands immediately!

More importantly, he will definitely strive to develop the sect and remain loyal to it, because this is where he wields power, and Duan Ran will not allow it to perish.

"Are Xu Haolong and the others alright?"

Yang Haoyu said confidently, "Absolutely no problem. According to our investigation, among the Zhang Family under the age of forty, only Zhang Hongxi and Zhang Xuanbing have reached the Foundation Establishment."

Although both Zhang Xuanbing and Xu Haolong possess Dual Spirit Root, Xu Haolong has the advantage of age and has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Winning is a piece of cake.

Moreover, the sect also has three Foundation Establishment True Disciple: Mu Long, Gu Hun, and Murong Rou. The Zhang Family is doomed to lose!

Xu Haolong is now thirty-two years old and at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. He doesn't believe he can't beat Zhang Xuanbing, who is only twenty-two and has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment.

As for Zhang Xuanchen, there's even less need to worry about him.

They're not even at the Foundation Establishment yet, no different from ants!

"Yes, I trust you with your work. If Zhang Xuanchen dares to join the battle, kill him if you can, and cripple him if you can't!"

"If that madman Zhang Chongxian dares to cause trouble, I will take action."

After saying that, he patted Yang Haoyu on the shoulder and disappeared into the Main Hall.

Xuanxiao Mountain.

The Zhang Family was bustling with activity as everyone prepared for the ceremony two days later.

His face was beaming with a smile.

Especially during the welcoming ceremony, representatives from many powerful forces had already arrived, all of which were Affiliated Force located close to the Zhang Family.

Sitting in the Main Hall, looking at the table laden with Spirit Fruit, fine wines, and delicious dishes, they couldn't help but marvel at the Zhang Family's extravagance.

Because they had already heard that for the next three days, Guest Welcoming Hall.

Of course, you can only eat here. There's absolutely no way you can put it in your Storage Bag and take it away!

The Zhang Family Guest Welcoming Hall is located in a remote area among the many peaks of Xuanxiao Mountain, and is not covered by the Clan Protection Array.

This is also to prevent problems before they occur.

The Zhang Clan members responsible for receiving the guests were all dressed in uniform, and each of them was humble, polite, and spoke in a gentle tone.

Whether it was Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining cultivator, or even those uninvited Rogue Cultivator cultivators who admired the Zhang Family, there was not a trace of disdain in their words!

It showcases the grandeur and refinement of a great family.

It garnered widespread praise.

The Zhang Family Disciple were well aware that most of these Rogue Cultivator came to freeload.

But it's alright, since these Spirit Fruit can't be taken away anyway. How many can these rogue Qi Refining Early Stage or middle Rogue Cultivator, eat?

The Zhang Family wouldn't be so petty as to lack even this much magnanimity.

Besides, everyone who comes will bring a gift, so there's absolutely no way we'd lose money.
