Chapter 612 Taking The Vitality Root

Seeing his expression like that, Feng Xian'er also spoke to him. "Liu Tao! If the late Sect Master finds out about your actions, I believe he will be very disappointed in you, for you are more concerned with your personal matters than the sect's matters."

"You'd better hand over the Sect Master's token to us right now." Situ Meiqi joined in on pressuring him; she had long held back against Liu Tao's arbitrary actions and wanted to end things now.

Chen Luan nodded in agreement with them. "Liu Tao, you should have realized your position; none of us are willing to support you anymore, for you have gone too far."

Liu Tao's face darkened as the other elders started urging him to give up his authority, but he still wasn't willing to hand over his Sect Master's token to them. Instead, he continued to glare at them with hostility.

Seeing Liu Tao remaining silent, Mao Yao, who was on Feng Xian'er's shoulder, couldn't take it anymore. She then jumped down, returned to her human form, and walked toward him.

"Huh? Who is she?" Qin Qing asked in surprise; Situ Meiqi and the other elders were the same.

*Crack*

Before Feng Xian'er answered them, Mao Yao had released her energy and suppressed Liu Tao with her aura, causing his chair to shatter, and he was pressed against the floor.

"Ugh!" 'Damn it! Who is this woman? Why is she meddling in our affairs?' Liu Tao wondered in his heart as he glared at Mao Yao.

"Obviously, you've lost their trust, but you're still stubborn about holding on to your position." Mao Yao spoke casually as she knelt beside Liu Tao. She lifted his chin, looked him straight in the eyes, and used her technique on him.

Soon, Liu Tao's eyes lost focus, and Mao Yao asked him. "Where is the sect master's token?"

"It's in my storage ring."

"Take it out and give it to me." Mao Yao ordered him as she released her pressure on Liu Tao.

After he could move again, Liu Tao immediately took the sect master's token and gave it to Mao Yao. "This is the token."

"Good." Mao Yao received the token and stood up; she then turned to the elders and threw it to Feng Xian'er. "Done! You guys can take care of the rest."

After saying that, Mao Yao immediately turned into a cat again, leaving the elder hall to return to Mo Xiaoqi's side again.

Instantly, Liu Tao returned to his senses, and his expression was completely ugly, seeing that the sect master's token was already in Feng Xian'er's hands. However, he immediately got up from the floor and left the elder hall, and he didn't say a word to them, especially since it was impossible for him to fight them all at once.

After Liu Tao disappeared from their sight, Feng Xian'er sighed softly and explained to Qin Qing and the others. "Anyway, that woman just now was Mao Yao, and she was Mo Xiaoqi's slave."

"Huh?" they were shocked to hear that, but they remembered that Mo Xiaoqi was Xia Tian's woman, and Qin Qing muttered to herself. "Those two are absurd! Not only can he enslave Estella, who is much stronger than him, but his woman is the same."

Feng Xian'er only smiled at that; she then handed the sect master's token to Yao Mei and said to her. "Since you are the eldest among us, I think you should be the next sect master."

However, Yao Mei shook her head and gave the sect master's token to Situ Meiqi. "I think you are more suitable to be the next Sect Master, and I'm sure they will also agree with me. As for me, I will just take care of the medical hall."

"Eh?" Situ Meiqi was shocked by her decision, and she looked at Feng Xian'er and the others. After all, Yao Mei was the oldest among them, and she had been in the sect for a long time.

"Meiqi, I also agree with Yao Mei; only you deserve to be the next Sect Master." Qin Qing said to convince her, and the other elders also agreed with them.

Situ Meiqi didn't immediately agree with their decision, and she thought about it for quite a while. After a while, she sighed softly and nodded to them. "All right, I will become the next sect master, but I still need your help."

"Don't worry; we will definitely help you." Chen Luan replied with a smile.

After that, they discussed future plans for their sect, especially since their sect had lost so many disciples.

Meanwhile, Xia Tian and Su Fei were in the dual cultivation chamber, and he inspected the location of the vitality root.

"Are you really going to take it, Tian?" Su Fei seriously asked. For it will affect their sect, and the dual cultivation chamber would be useless if he took the vitality root.

"En." Xia Tian nodded to her. "I will take it now, but you don't have to worry about it. After I plant it long enough in the Ancient Sacred Realm, it will grow big, and I can divide it into several pieces. After that, I will plant one in this place again, and this place will still be useful."

Su Fei heaved a sigh of relief after listening to his explanation. "If that's true, why didn't you take it from the first time you came here?"

"Hey, I've wanted to take it for a long time, but I couldn't do it with my current cultivation." Xia Tian replied wryly and summoned Estella out of the dual cultivation space.

Estella raised her eyebrows and asked. "Why did you suddenly call me out?"

"Try to sense the items under us." Xia Tian said to her with a chuckle

"Hmm?" Estella then used her senses to check down, and her expression became surprised. "Vitality root, huh? You're fortunate to find it here, especially since it's quite big."

"Quickly take it; I will plant it in my other space." Xia Tian spoke impatiently.

Estella nodded and released her energy towards the vitality root, which she did very carefully to avoid damaging it. Soon, the floor vibrated quite strongly, and he managed to get it out of the ground, leaving a big enough hole in that place. "Here."

"Great!" Xia Tian received the Vitality Root with a satisfied smile and immediately entered the Ancient Sacred Realm to plant it within.

Estella shook her head upon seeing Xia Tian disappear; she immediately used her energy to close up the hole in the floor again. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and directed her senses elsewhere; she then pointed towards the distance and asked Su Fei. "Who is that man in that place?"

"Hmm?" Su Fei looked at where Estella was pointing, and she then answered her. "That place is Liu Tao's private room, so he should be there. Do you sense anything from him?"

"En, I sense a malicious intent from him." Estela answered as she nodded at her.

Su Fei sighed heavily after hearing that. "It seems Elder Feng and the others have already managed to usurp his authority, and that's why he became like that."

"What a fool." Estella just shook her head and retracted her senses. "I will do something to that person."

"Wait-" Su Fei didn't have time to stop her, Estella had already disappeared from her sight, and she couldn't help but sigh helplessly. "I hope she doesn't do anything bad to him."

.

"Damn it! How dare they gang up on me and take my authority by force!" Liu Tao cursed angrily; he was furious to have been humiliated by Feng Xian'er and the others. "I have to think of something to reclaim my authority, and I will kill that bastard Xia Tian for snatching Yunzhi from me!"

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

Liu Tao was shocked to hear that; he turned to Estella and asked with a frown. "Who are you? How dare you trespass on my private place!"

"Do you really want to kill Xia Tian?" Estella asked as she walked leisurely towards Liu Tao.

Liu Tao raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. "Do you also have problems with Xia Tian? How about you cooperate with me to kill him?"

Estella chuckled at that; she then touched Liu Tao's chest. "You are wrong about that, foolish guy. Even though I am his slave, I enjoy being by his side, for he is mighty in dual cultivation."

"What- Ugh!" Liu Tao suddenly groaned and fell to the floor, and he rolled on the floor, feeling the pain in his body. "Argh! What... what are you doing to me?"

"Since you want to kill Xia Tian, I have to do something toward you, right?" Estella said as she crouched beside Liu Tao. "But don't worry, you won't die from this, and I'm sure you'll love the outcome."

After that, Estella knocked Liu Tao unconscious, and she returned to the dual cultivation chamber again.
