Chapter 265: Elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect

A figure appeared in the range of Mo Xiu's sight.

In the blink of an eye, he fell under the mountain gate. He was not the Sect Master of the Everlasting Sword Sect, but the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

Mo Xiu looked at the incoming person and asked, "Who are you?"

"Dong Wanqian, the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect," the elder stared at Mo Xiu. "Tell me, why do you want to pretend to be a member of the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

"Why do you think so?" Mo Xiu replied calmly.

Dong Wanqian looked at Mo Xiu for a while, and snorted, "Follow me."

Mo Xiu flew up and quickly followed.

After a while, the two came to the main peak and entered a hall.

There was already a person waiting in the hall. According to the information that Mo Xiu had learned earlier, this person was Cao Tianfang, the contemporary sovereign of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

Cao Tianfang's gaze fell on Mo Xiu, and he said suspiciously, "Are you really from the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

"Correct," Mo Xiu nodded.

"Who is the contemporary lord of the Seraphic Sword Sect?" Cao Tianfang asked.

"Gu Fengchi."

After Mo Xiu finished speaking, he explained a little, "Gu Fengchi was the first lord of the Seraphic Sword Sect and the founder of the Seraphic Sword Sect. However, traitors appeared and suppressed Gu Fengchi. Until a few days ago, he was released and regained the authority as the lord of the Seraphic Sword Sect."

"It's still him?" Cao Tianfang was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

He knew that Gu Fengchi had practiced a certain special technique. His lifespan was not that long, but it was very difficult to kill Gu Fengchi under normal circumstances. 

After hearing Mo Xiu's name "Gu Fengchi", he no longer doubted Mo Xiu's identity. Moreover, Mo Xiu was wearing the costume of the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect.

He didn't think anyone in the Spirit Continent could get the costumes of the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect, and then pretend to be the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect and come to the Everlasting Sword Sect to cheat.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Who are you? What is the reason for coming here?"

"Mo Xiu."

Mo Xiu briefly introduced his identity, and then said, "We got some news by coincidence that the major sects of the Profound Sky Continent are showing signs of wanting to attack the Everlasting Sword Sect. Hence, I came here to inform you."

"The major sects of the Profound Sky Continent are going to attack the Everlasting Sword Sect?"

Cao Tianfang chuckled and didn't take it seriously, "Where did you get the news? Not to mention that the major sects do not dare to attack us, even if they really dare to attack, why don't we have any news beforehand?"

"Holy Verity Sect, Sacred Saintess Sect," Mo Xiu said. "The people of these two sects have been to Spirit Continent. We heard from the members of these two sects."

"Holy Verity Sect and Sacred Saintess Sect's people have been to Spirit Continent?" Cao Tianfang frowned.

He lowered his head in thought, and then asked after a while, "What's the situation in Spirit Continent now? Is everything okay within the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

"There is nothing wrong with the Seraphic Sword Sect, and Spirit Continent is relatively stable. But the Teleportation Arrays between the various sects of Spirit Continent and the major sects of the Profound Sky Continent have been destroyed by us," Mo Xiu replied blankly. 

Cao Tianfang's thoughts changed.

Not long after, suddenly realized he many things, and he said, "I almost understand what you said. Let's not talk about whether the major sects dare to attack our Everlasting Sword Sect. Even if they really dare to attack, we are not afraid. But it is a bit difficult to want our Everlasting Sword Sect to help the Seraphic Sword Sect through the crisis."

"The Seraphic Sword Sect has no crisis. Even if there is a crisis, we will handle it ourselves," Mo Xiu said confidently and without emotion.

Cao Tianfang looked a little weird. Obviously, he didn't take Mo Xiu's words seriously, but he didn't ridicule him either, "Your news has been brought, and if there is nothing else, you can return..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong, "The Teleportation Array in the Everlasting Sword Sect can't teleport you back to the Seraphic Sword Sect at all. Doesn't this mean that you can't go back?"

"..."

Mo Xiu was silent.

It wouldn't be enough to say that he couldn't go back. After all, he also knew the situation of the Teleportation Array.

As long as he took action, it could be easily repaired, and then he could return to the Seraphic Sword Sect via the Teleportation Array here.

Moreover, the barriers between the Spirit Continent and the other major states of the Profound Sky Continent had been broken.

In this case, the distance was only a little farther. Even if he didn't use the Teleportation Array, he could still fly with the flying ship at full force and return to the Seraphic Sword Sect.

But since he came to the Everlasting Sword Sect, he must have a firm foothold here before going back.

Even if there was a way to go back, he would not go back obediently.

Even if there was a way to return to the Seraphic Sword Sect, he would not say it at this time. 

Cao Tianfang stared at Mo Xiu for a while and suddenly sighed, "The Teleportation Array between our two sects was originally two-way connected. But the 265th generation Sect Master of the Everlasting Sword Sect had a guilty conscience, he personally destroyed the Teleportation Array."

"Only the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect were allowed to come to the Everlasting Sword Sect, and the people of the Everlasting Sword Sect were not allowed to go to the Seraphic Sword Sect. It was also stipulated that..."

"What is the stipulation?" Mo Xiu couldn't help asking.

Cao Tianfang hesitated for a while, and replied, "It was stipulated that as long as the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect come to the Everlasting Sword Sect, except for the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect, they must be granted the status corresponding to the Seraphic Sword Sect."

In other words, the position of Sect Master could not be granted, but disciples, deacons, and elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect could have the same status in the Everlasting Sword Sect as long as they came to the Everlasting Sword Sect.

This rule really went beyond Mo Xiu's expectations, so much so that he asked again, "Why did the 265th generation Sect Master of the Everlasting Sword Sect have a guilty conscience?"

"It's not a secret thing." 

Cao Tianfang replied, "The Sect Master of the 265th generation is surnamed Hua. When Sect Master Hua was a deacon, the Sect Master of the time wanted to send a deacon to Spirit Continent to create a new sect. The selected deacon was exactly him. However, he admired a senior sister at the time and was unwilling to be separated from that senior sister. Therefore, he approached Gu Fengchi, who was also a deacon at the time..."

He didn't go on with the following words, but Mo Xiu already roughly understood what the situation was.

It was estimated that Gu Fengchi at the time was as weak as Gu Fengchi now. He was bullied by Deacon Hua and took the initiative to go to Spirit Continent to build a new sect.

Or for some reason, Gu Fengchi at the time could not refuse Deacon Hua, or he could not bear to see the separation of Deacon Hua from that beloved sister.

Finally, he helped Deacon Hua and took the initiative to go to Spirit Continent to establish a new sect.

Of course, maybe the situation at that time was even more dog-bloody. It had been so long, and it was estimated that only the person involved knew what was going on.

Anyway, when Deacon Hua became the Sect Master Hua, he felt guilty in his heart, so made a series of actions behind Gu Fengchi's back. 

However, Mo Xiu did not know if the matter of the 265th generation Sect Master of the Everlasting Sword Sect was true or not. He felt that it was necessary to find time to verify with Gu Fengchi.

Having said that, Cao Tianfang asked, "Elder Mo, I think you won't be able to return to the Seraphic Sword Sect for the time being. Would you like to stay in the Everlasting Sword Sect and become the elder of my Everlasting Sword Sect?"

Mo Xiu pretended to lower his head in thought, and after a long time nodded, "Okay."

Originally, when he came to the Everlasting Sword Sect, he wanted to find a way to take root here and regard the Everlasting Sword Sect as his camp.

Now, it happened to have such a rule, which could be said to save him a lot of trouble.

Having said that, even if he was an elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect, he couldn't really obey Cao Tianfang like a lackey.

Some conditions should be negotiated.

Mo Xiu could only guarantee that he would not harm the interests of the Everlasting Sword Sect and try his best to cooperate with the actions of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

However, again, no one in this sect could order him. 

Cao Tianfang also didn't think there was any problem with this.

After all, he only granted Mo Xiu the position of elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect in accordance with the regulations left by the 265th generation of the Everlasting Sword Sect, and he did not expect Mo Xiu to do anything.

Not wanting to accept orders meant that he had no power here, which was equivalent to just an idler with a salary.

Raising one or two idlers was not a problem for the huge Everlasting Sword Sect.

After the general conditions were negotiated, Cao Tian conveniently gathered almost all the elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect and announced the appointment of the new elder.

Those elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect, on the one hand, could not see through Mo Xiu's cultivation base and could not understand Mo Xiu's strength, on the other hand, they learned that Mo Xiu came from the Seraphic Sword Sect in Spirit Continent.

Naturally, there was no objection to the rules left by the Sect Master of the 265th generation.

They also knew that Mo Xiu and Sect Master Cao Tianfang had negotiated everything.

At this time, even if they opposed it, it didn't make much sense. On the contrary, it would leave a bad impression on Cao Tianfang.

After the appointment of the elders was announced, Cao Tianfang handed the costumes and jade plaque representing the identity of the Everlasting Sword Sect elder to Mo Xiu in front of everyone and marked a mountain peak for Mo Xiu, so that Mo Xiu could have a place to live.

At the end of a set of ceremonies, Cao Tianfang waved his hand and announced to disperse.

However, before everyone left, a tall figure suddenly broke into the hall.

"Hold on!" A loud voice like a morning bell rang.

Everyone looked at the person who had broken into the hall before staring at each other.

Cao Tianfang frowned and asked, "Elder Lei, didn't I let you be responsible for the assessment of new disciples?"

"The assessment of the new disciple has ended. I heard that there is an elder from the Seraphic Sword Sect. So I came back here to take a look," Elder Lei said.

Then his gaze fell on Mo Xiu.

Judging from the wrinkles revealed between his eyebrows, it was obvious he was unkind to Mo Xiu.

After a while, he said, "Mo Xiu, right? My Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion has disappeared. Was it your doings?"
