Frightened by His Presence
The Spiritual Energy Emissary was not intimidated by Daoist Master Yuanxu aura.
When questioned, the Spiritual Energy Emissary calmly replied, "I did this to ensure that my master could gain the upper hand in the battle."
The Spiritual Energy Emissary first refuted Daoist Master Yuanxu's accusations against him.
He then slowly revealed his plan. The Spiritual Energy Emissary was confident that the other disciples would stand by his side, because they had also drawn upon the Spiritual Qi of the Divine Mountain.
"After the outsiders appeared in the fairyland, the Spiritual Qi within the fairyland fluctuated. In order to ensure that the fluctuations in the Spiritual Qi within the fairyland would not affect the stability of the entire fairyland, I was forced to ask my Junior Sister to use treasures to stabilize the Spiritual Qi."
However, Master has already sealed the Treasury! We have no way of getting any treasures from Treasury! Without protection, we can only use the Spiritual Qi of the Divine Mountain to stabilize the situation of the Penglai Immortal Realm!
If the situation in the Penglai Immortal Realm cannot be stabilized, how can Master possibly defeat the outsiders in battle? After all, Master's strength also requires the support of the Penglai Immortal Realm!
The Spiritual Energy Emissary's answer was perfect.
He almost completely explained all his previous actions, and his words won the support of the other disciples.
When Daoist Master Yuanxu saw this, his expression turned even uglier. "Why didn't you tell me or inform Master before taking such action?"
"How can I tell Master that he is fighting against the Flame Emperor Legacy? The Flame Emperor Legacy's legacy is extremely powerful, and Master cannot afford to be distracted!"
If I were to tell Master about this, he might be distracted and defeated by the outsider! Wouldn't I have made a grave mistake?!
The fact that the Spiritual Energy Emissary didn't tell the Immortal Master Penglai wasn't a big problem.
After all, cultivators of any level must maintain mental focus during battle. If they become distracted, the final result will inevitably be defeat.
"Even if you didn't tell Master, you could have told me beforehand! Don't you know how to contact me?! I remember I told you how to contact me!"
Daoist Master Yuanxu has now calmed down. He knows that the Spiritual Energy Emissary's actions may not be problematic, but he must use this opportunity to let the Spiritual Energy Emissary know that he is the Chief Disciple.
"Senior Disciple Brother, it's not that I look down on you, but if you really can solve the problem of Spiritual Qi fluctuations, why did you come back to the Divine Mountain?"
The Spiritual Energy Emissary revealed a disdainful smile when mentioning Daoist Master Yuanxu. In the Spiritual Energy Emissary's view, his own abilities were inherently stronger than Daoist Master Yuanxu's.
The reason why Daoist Master Yuanxu was able to become the Senior Disciple Brother was because he had been defeated by the Immortal Master Penglai for a longer period of time. The Spiritual Energy Emissary had never submitted to Daoist Master Yuanxu.
Daoist Master Yuanxu naturally knew the true thoughts of the Spiritual Energy Emissary.
So his expression turned even uglier. "I came here on Master's orders! Master has ordered you to stop using the Spiritual Qi of the Divine Mountain! The battle Master is currently engaged in requires the use of the Divine Mountain's Spiritual Qi!"
Daoist Master Yuanxu's words finally put an end to the dispute between the disciples.
