Feng Xiao's expression turned awkward the moment he heard Ren Feng's words.
As mentioned earlier, everyone knew about the rivalry between Ren Feng and Chen Yan.
The position of Sect Master was at stake.
Luoling Sect had thirty-six peaks, and the number of Inner Disciples alone had already reached more than four hundred thousand.
There were also millions of Servant Disciples and mortals in their care.
In terms of scale, Luoling Sect could even rival the Mortal Dynasties of the mortal world.
And to cultivators, far more important than all that power was the fact that becoming Sect Master of Luoling Sect meant gaining access to a thousand times more cultivation resources.
That was why, even though Chen Yan and Ren Feng seemed perfectly amicable on the surface,
their true contest had begun long before Chen Yan broke through to the Spirit Realm.
When Chen Yan entered the Spirit Realm, it meant that the two men had finally reached the same level and could compete for the position of Sect Master of Luoling Sect.
If one had to take sides in the contest between Ren Feng and Chen Yan, Feng Xiao should have been on Ren Feng's side.
The reason was simple: he owed his position as Peak Master of Feather Peak largely to Ren Feng's support.
The previous Peak Master of Feather Peak had been personally dealt with by Ren Feng. He had stripped him of his position and then imprisoned him in the dungeon on Main Peak.
Originally, several Spirit Realm cultivators in Luoling Sect were better suited than Feng Xiao to become the next Peak Master of Feather Peak.
Their seniority, cultivation, and abilities all surpassed Feng Xiao's.
But Ren Feng had refused.
He wanted to build a faction within the sect that truly belonged to him.
