350: Unified opinion

First promise to give, and then renege later?

The words of the Grand Elder were truly shameless, but being shameless toward a "potential enemy" made them seem rather endearing.

The Great Palace Master felt a weight lift from her heart.

Being able to say such a thing was enough to prove that the Grand Elder had not betrayed the interests of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace or the Xuanhuang Domain, and was indeed considering the Yaoguang Immortal Palace's welfare.

She was just overly "radical."

The pressure was withdrawn.

The Grand Elder instantly felt her body lighten.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, she spoke earnestly yet with a hint of grievance: "Great Palace Master, all Great Palace Masters, among everyone here, no one has been in the Yaoguang Immortal Palace longer than I have.

Do you perhaps think that just because you are loyal to the Immortal Palace, I am not?

I swear a Great Heart Demon Oath that the method of seeking aid I proposed contains not a single shred of selfish intent!

Everything is done with the hope that the Yaoguang Immortal Palace can overcome this crisis."

Still Water and Flowing Water transmitted their voices: "Although the old woman is annoying, over all these years, no matter how harsh she is, she has always stood on the side of the Immortal Palace.

She has never sought private gain for herself.

I remember a junior in her Family used her name and the banner of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace's Grand Elder to throw their weight around outside, and in the end, the Grand Elder personally executed him."

Flowing Water hummed in agreement.

Having reached their current Realm and lived for so long, the so-called Bloodline is no longer viewed as critically important.

If every descendant born yearly had to be looked after...

Would the Loose Cultivators in the cultivation world even survive?

Conversely, faith is far more important to a Cultivator than these "Bloodlines."

Shen Jinhuan did not speak during this segment.

After all this time, the Yaoguang Immortal Palace cultivating her, and Still Water and Flowing Water treating her well

she couldn't possibly be unaware of it, nor could she fail to develop feelings for them.

But none of this... was as important as the man in her memory.

These people put the Yaoguang Immortal Palace first; she did not.

If these people refused to listen and courted disaster, she would flee to other domains, and once she grew strong, she would return for revenge.

If he were here... Shen Jinhuan stared blankly into space.

In her memory, Jiang Ning's cultivation was not the highest, but he could always turn the tide at crucial moments, instilling confidence and a sense of security.

The Great Palace Master sighed.

"Grand Elder, you are thinking too simply. If people from the Yousen Domain arrive, what good will reneging do? Will it just give the Yousen Domain one more legitimate reason to start a war with the Xuanhuang Domain?

At that time, with the Tiance Military Prefecture watching intently, and facing the powerhouses of the Yousen Domain, wouldn't we truly fall into a death trap?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder paused.

She said nothing.

She had only considered taking on all the Karma herself, but failed to realize that the Yousen Domain might issue a declaration of war against the Xuanhuang Domain because of it.

After a few breaths.

She gave a bitter smile, "Then what should we do..."

"We must use the opportunity of the Grand Marshal being in secluded cultivation to seize resources and improve our strength as much as possible. If our strength increases, even if we can't defeat the Grand Marshal later, we can run faster.

At the same time, we must establish large teleportation formations, ready at any moment.

If the Grand Marshal emerges from seclusion and begins the purge, we must preserve the seeds, teleporting them out. As long as the spark remains, there will always be a chance for revenge."

Shen Jinhuan said seriously.

The Great Palace Master hummed in acknowledgment.

She greatly admired Shen Jinhuan's decisiveness.

The pity was that Shen Jinhuan was young and couldn't cover every aspect of the situation.

They, as Elders, needed to guide her.

But it was still good; a Genius who grew up in such an environment truly deserved the title of Genius.

"Huanhuan is right, and that is my intention as well."

The Grand Elder said: "But, Great Palace Master, the current situation isn't something that can be resolved just by you and me talking about it. What about the Yingtong Merchant Guild? Will they agree?

What about the Linghuang Pavilion? Will Zhao Tinghuang agree?

And all the small and medium-sized forces, will they be willing?"

"Success depends on human effort."

The Great Palace Master looked at Shen Jinhuan, "Huanhuan, please make a trip to the Alliance. Relay the intentions of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace. On this matter, you will represent the Yaoguang Immortal Palace."

The Grand Elder was stunned, "Great Palace Master, she..."

"It is settled. Once the Alliance reaches an agreement, we will collectively discuss the related matters. Let us conclude this meeting for today."

After speaking, the Great Palace Master instantly vanished from her seat.

Her idea was very simple.

Shen Jinhuan's talent was outstanding, and she was being groomed to be the next Great Palace Master. Experiencing more now would make her more excellent in the future.

While they were all still present, they could provide a safety net for her.

They could not promote a hothouse flower only to have her lead the Yaoguang Immortal Palace toward decline in the end.

Furthermore.

Shen Jinhuan had a feud with the Tiance Military Prefecture, and her relationship with the two Great Palace Masters, Still Water and Flowing Water, was excellent; she certainly wouldn't betray the Yaoguang Immortal Palace.

No matter how one looked at it, Shen Jinhuan was highly suitable to become the Great Palace Master of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder said nothing more.

She glanced at the rest of the Elder corps and departed immediately.

The two Great Palace Masters of the Ting Yu Palace and the Guanxue Palace, however, teased: "We didn't expect the Zhi Shui Palace to change Great Palace Masters first. It seems we'll have to look for Huanhuan for everything from now on."

Shen Jinhuan blushed.

After the two departed.

Shen Jinhuan bowed toward Still Water and Flowing Water.

"Both Masters, Jinhuan acted out of necessity. Let us pretend this matter never happened. It is better for the two Masters to remain as the Great Palace Masters of the Zhi Shui Palace."

Still Water said with a smile: "I haven't wanted to be the Great Palace Master for a long time. It's best if you can take over, but rest assured, during this special period, Flowing Water and I will handle the palace affairs as usual.

You can focus on your cultivation without worry."

Flowing Water nodded, "Yes. However, judging by the Great Palace Master's demeanor, she intends for you to succeed her and become the next Great Palace Master. This position as Great Palace Master of the Zhi Shui Palace...

You won't hold it for long."

Shen Jinhuan gave a bitter smile, "Actually, I..."

Flowing Water waved her hand.

She transmitted her voice: "Say no more. I know you won't remain in the Xuanhuang Domain, and the Great Palace Master should also know this. Cultivating you now is merely an extra preparation.

Someone like the Great Palace Master would not prepare just one path for the Yaoguang Immortal Palace."

Hearing Flowing Water's words, Shen Jinhuan nodded.

She completely put her heart at ease.

Su Rao followed behind them.

He felt somewhat dazed.

Who could have imagined that the young girl he first met in the Cang Ling Domain, who was targeted and disliked everywhere she went, was now the Yaoguang Immortal Palace's next Great Palace Master?

Times change, and nothing is certain. Anyone can be a dark horse, carving out their own territory amidst this chaotic era.

Still Water and Flowing Water still needed to return to the Zhi Shui Palace to manage the overall situation.

The three major palaces of the Yaoguang Immortal Palace were three critical strongholds; losing even one would be unbearable.

The Yaoguang Immortal Palace Great Hall, which had just been bustling, was now only left with Su Rao and Shen Jinhuan.

Su Rao asked softly, "Huanhuan, what do you plan to do next?"

Shen Jinhuan looked toward the northwest.

"Go to Jieyi City!"
