Translator: 549690339
Elder in charge of the inner affairs.
This appointment led everyone’s thoughts to run wild, but Jin Quanxiu did not explain, and Liang Sheng did not refuse.
The Elder in charge of the inner affairs could review all the scrolls in the Scripture Repository, otherwise, others would not think that Jin Quanxiu’s move indicated that he was most optimistic about “Yang Cheng” taking over.
Of course, if “Yang Cheng” wanted to become the Sect Master, his cultivation level would be the key factor. Only by breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm could he be considered secure in the position.
Immortal City.
Right Envoy Mingyue looked gloomy at the moment, not expecting to be played by Left Envoy Qingfeng. He could only say that his attention had been focused on the internal affairs of Immortal City for so many years, and he had underestimated Qingfeng.
Fortunately, City Master Zhen Yuan hadn’t come out of seclusion, but only a divine sense incarnation appeared, so the situation could still be remedied and it hadn’t become a big mistake yet.
However, now was not the time to play around. After this matter was over, it wouldn’t be too late to settle the score with Qingfeng.
Just as Liang Sheng broke through the Qi refining and Divinity transformation stage, the divine sense incarnation of City Master Zhen Yuan suddenly appeared and immediately called Qingfeng and Mingyue over.
“Do you know what’s going on with the Marginal Domain marked with letter ‘Yi’?”
When Mingyue heard this, she was immediately moved, could it be the issue with the merit energy in the Yi-marked Marginal Domain a few hundred years ago?
At that time, she had discussed it with Qingfeng, but Qingfeng didn’t care at the time, so the matter was dropped. After all, it was just a Marginal Domain, and there was no need to care about it. The territory of Immortal City was the most important thing.
Moreover, she had laid the groundwork at that time, so even if something really happened, Qingfeng would be the one to take the blame, although the probability of that happening was minimal.
She didn’t expect that the City Master’s incarnation would actually ask about this matter now, and Mingyue couldn’t help but feel delighted in her heart, as if Heaven was helping her too.
However, Mingyue remained calm on the surface, as if she was extremely impartial, and recounted the origins of the situation at that time.
“City Master, actually, this matter is also my dereliction of duty. At that time, I just let Qingfeng Left Envoy investigate it and did not strongly dissuade him. That’s why such a thing happened today.
However, I’ve always been in charge of internal affairs, and the Marginal Domain is an external affair. I don’t want Qingfeng Left Envoy to misunderstand that I’m too active because I want to take over power, so I didn’t emphasize the importance to Qingfeng Left Envoy.
Looking back, actually, my vision was too small. This matter is ultimately my fault. If the City Master wants to punish me, I am willing to bear the responsibility.”
At this moment, Qingfeng glanced at Mingyue with a faint smile and scolded her in his heart for being sinister. Seeing that the City Master’s incarnation had already looked over this matter, Qingfeng quickly spoke up. However, they didn’t notice that there was something odd about the City Master’s incarnation’s eyes.
Qingfeng spoke calmly at this time, but how could little Mingyue know his methods?
“Reporting to the City Master, I actually already understood the ins and outs of the situation back then. According to the report from the caretaker of Codename Yi Marginal Domain, at that time, Codename Yi Marginal Domain had actually experienced a beast tide, and a Demon Saint was born. In the end, it was the Nascent Soul Masters of the sect who perished together with the Demon Saint, which caused the beast tide to subside, but also led to the reduction of merit energy.
Now, Codename Yi Marginal Domain has already started to prosper, and two Nascent Soul True Monarchs have appeared. I think that in a few hundred years, the merit energy will be restored, and there will be no problems.”
Huh?
After listening to Qingfeng’s account, Mingyue couldn’t help but raise her head abruptly, staring at him in shock, and cursing in her heart, treachery!
Didn’t you say you didn’t care about the Marginal Domain situation before? It turned out that you had already planted a caretaker there.
Despicable!
However, Mingyue couldn’t be blamed for not knowing this. With countless Marginal Domains under the jurisdiction of Longevity Immortal City, how could she know the situation in all of them?
After all, the Marginal Domains were just desolate lands, not worth mentioning in their eyes. Which Immortal City Cultivator would have them in their sights?
It could only be said that Qingfeng, who was in charge of the outer sect affairs as the Left Envoy, had already arranged the Marginal Domains in secret, leaving no trace.
It was just that she had underestimated him, thinking that he really didn’t care. As Mingyue thought about this, her face immediately brightened into a warm smile.
“Left Envoy Qingfeng is indeed amazing. With you in charge of the outer sect affairs, City Master, you can be at ease in the future.”
At this moment, Mingyue expressed her praise wholeheartedly. After all, with the situation as it was, she wanted to minimize the losses.
However, the look in City Master Zhen Yuan’s incarnation’s eyes was quite strange, and it took a long time for the incarnation to speak unhurriedly.
“Actually, I’m not talking about the issue with the merit energy; I suspect that the Desolate Aura has appeared in the Marginal Domain marked with letter ‘Yi’. Can you investigate what’s going on with this?”
“Ah?”
The faces of Qingfeng and Mingyue changed drastically upon hearing this. The Marginal Domain didn’t matter, but the Desolate Aura was a big problem. They were not allowed to have Desolate Aura in the Marginal Domain, or rather, within the entire territory of Immortal City.
In fact, for Immortal City, whether it was internal or external affairs, the appearance of Desolate Aura was the top priority.
At this moment Mingyue didn’t care about fighting with Qingfeng anymore, she immediately obeyed the order, stating that they would cooperate well, investigate the matter immediately, and they would not let it go even if they made a mistake.
As soon as they had the results, they would report it immediately.
After the two left the City Lord Mansion, Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, and then Mingyue spoke first, “Left Envoy Qingfeng, we still need to work together on this matter. After all, it concerns the safety of Immortal City. We are like two grasshoppers tied to the same rope on this matter.”
Qingfeng nodded without objection.
“I will notify the caretakers right away, and soon there will be emissaries going to investigate the situation. Don’t worry, I know the priorities, and I won’t mess around with this matter.”
Afterwards, the two looked at each other and nodded deeply, without any doubt about each other’s sincerity.
After all, this was the Desolate Regions, a terrifying existence.
Dan Ding Sect.
Danyang Peak.
Liang Sheng, who was immersed in the secret scrolls of Scripture Repository these days, was overjoyed. At this moment, many secrets in the Desolate Regions were no longer a secret to him.
Why did Immortal City exist, but the Sects in the Desolate Regions never thought of going there for cultivation? Liang Sheng had this question for a long time.
Actually, it wasn’t that the cultivators in the Desolate Regions didn’t want to go, they couldn’t. They didn’t know why, but when the cultivators from the Desolate Regions arrived in Immortal City, their cultivation level would plummet.
Also, if they wanted to cultivate again, the resistance they encountered would be more than ten times that of the Desolate Regions.
That is to say, if the people from the Desolate Regions went to Immortal City, they would have no way to cultivate. On the other hand, even if the people from Immortal City came, there would never be any strong individuals above the Divinity Transformation stage.
As Liang Sheng was engrossed in various confidential scrolls in the Scripture Repository, he received a summons from Sect Master Jin Quanxiu.
Although Liang Sheng was somewhat reluctant to leave the Scripture Repository, he promptly rushed to the Sect Master Hall and greeted Jin Quanxiu as soon as he saw him.
“Disciple pays respects to Master.”
“Cheng’er, do you still remember what I told you before, that our Dan Ding Sect is the spy placed in the Desolate Regions by the Immortal City?”
Liang Sheng immediately nodded, as he could not possibly forget this matter. He even decided to enter closed-door cultivation because of this reason.
“I received news from Immortal City a few days ago that an emissary from the Immortal City will soon descend into the Desolate Regions. Today, you will accompany me to welcome them.”
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng was shocked. The Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil ability allowed him to sense that the arrival of the Immortal City emissary was not a good thing, just as if they were coming for him.
This feeling was so obvious, and if it were indeed so, he wondered if the Immortal City emissary could withstand his fists, which grew tremendously after refining the spirit from Qi.
