65: Are you going to bully me into having no one at Yuhua Peak?

A month passed in a hurry.

The storm of Feng Taixu's demise also faded with the passage of time.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp goes out!

However, Yuhua Peak still had white mourning silk fluttering.

Inside Yuhua Hall, Han Li looked out of the hall, at the snowflakes drifting in the sky.

A month had passed, and his other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had also left, each returning to their own Daoist temple.

Han Li, under the arrangement of his Eldest Senior Brother, had moved into Yuhua Hall.

Of the vast Yuhua Peak, he was truly the only one left.

Among the thirty-six peaks, this was absolutely unique.

"I wonder how the Sect will handle this..."

Han Li looked at the falling snow outside the hall, gazing towards the main peak of Qingyuan Sect.

With Feng Taixu's demise, the Peak Lord of Yuhua Peak had not been decided.

Or, it might even be canceled.

Whatever the situation, all he could do now was wait for news.

If the Sect canceled the Yuhua Peak lineage, it was not something he could influence.

"Let's wait for news..."

Looking at the falling snow, Han Li sighed, then turned and stepped into Yuhua Hall.

Yuhua Hall was very large.

It was divided into several areas.

There were more than a hundred rooms of various sizes.

There were also dedicated Cultivation rooms, an Artifact Refining Room, an Alchemy room, and the like, all fully equipped.

Han Li kept everything as it was, not moving anything.

For now, he was only temporarily residing here; whether he could stay depended on the Sect's decision.

However, even if he couldn't live on Yuhua Peak, his other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters would take him in.

This was something his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had told him in advance.

Of course, being able to reside alone on a peak would naturally be even better.

Yuhua Peak, unlike ordinary Daoist temples, was rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; all thirty-six peaks were the core of Qingyuan Sect.

Everything was complete.

However, even if Yuhua Peak was canceled, Han Li didn't particularly care.

Cultivating in other places wouldn't be a big problem... A thousand miles of ice, with goose-feather snow falling, the entire Qingyuan Sect was covered in white snow.

Deep within Qingyuan Sect, at the summit of a magnificent mountain, splendid palaces stood tall; this was one of Qingyuan Sect's main peaks, Tianyuan Peak.

It was also the meeting place for Qingyuan Sect's high-ranking officials.

Inside the colossal palace, a gathering of Qingyuan Sect's high-ranking officials had convened.

The Peak Lords of the thirty-five peaks and the School's top Elders, no less than a hundred people, were all gathered here.

"The matter of Yuhua Peak must be dealt with; it cannot be postponed indefinitely."

One Peak Lord spoke, and hearing this, the other Peak Lords and Elders looked at him.

"Peak Lord Luo, what is your suggestion?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade, also one of the Peak Lords of the thirty-five peaks.

The other Peak Lords and Elders looked at Peak Lord Luo, who scanned them with his gaze and said:

"To my knowledge, Yuhua Peak is currently only inhabited by Feng Taixu's youngest Disciple. Yuhua Peak is a place of outstanding people and abundant Spiritual Qi. For only one Disciple to reside there, I believe, is a great waste. Although the Sect possesses profound wealth, it should not be so extravagant. For this Disciple, who has not yet reached Innate, to exclusively occupy a peak, isn't that a huge consumption?"

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the Peak Lords and Elders.

The meaning of these words was clear to everyone.

"Peak Lord Luo, speak frankly."

A middle-aged man in a black robe said.

Peak Lord Luo looked at the black-robed middle-aged man and said, "Grand Elder, my intention is to cancel Yuhua Peak."

"Cancel Yuhua Peak!"

A sentence echoed in the hall, and the hearts of the Peak Lords and Elders present trembled slightly.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The air seemed to solidify at this instant.

At this moment, Peak Lord Luo directly stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, "The Yuhua Peak lineage also consumes a significant amount of the Sect's resources. Although there are a few good Disciples, those Disciples all have their own Daoist temples. Currently, the only Disciple truly residing on Yuhua Peak is this Disciple named Han Li, who is merely a new Disciple who joined not long ago. For a new Disciple to occupy a peak and receive the resources of a lineage, if this gets out, it will surely cause much dissatisfaction throughout the Sect."

"By canceling Yuhua Peak and merging its resources with other peaks, we can enhance the strength of other lineages within our Qingyuan Sect, which also benefits the development of other lineages and strengthens Qingyuan Sect. What do you all think?"

These words echoed in the grand hall, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Peak Lord Luo, it has only been a month since Peak Lord Feng passed away, and his spiritual tomb is right on Yuhua Peak. Doing this might be somewhat inappropriate, wouldn't it?"

At this moment, a beautiful woman in purple spoke, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Hearing this, Peak Lord Luo's expression remained normal, and he said, "Peak Lord Zi, what is inappropriate about this?"

"The Sect must always develop; we cannot allow the Yuhua Peak lineage to hinder the development of our Qingyuan Sect, can we? The resources consumed are enough to Cultivate many Disciples. I am considering the future of the Sect."

"As for Peak Lord Feng's spiritual tomb, that is a minor matter. The spiritual tomb can be relocated and buried within our Qingyuan Sect's spiritual garden."

"Many tombs of our Sect's ancestors are also buried in the spiritual garden. Relocating Peak Lord Feng's spiritual tomb to the spiritual garden is also an honor. If Peak Lord Feng's spirit in heaven knew, he would also agree to this matter."

"And that new Disciple, Han Li, that's even simpler. He can be arranged to live elsewhere. This way, Yuhua Peak can be freed up, saving a considerable amount of resources."

Peak Lord Luo spoke eloquently, his words seemingly from a position of ultimate authority.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman in purple frowned deeply, but she had no reason to refute.

For the development of Qingyuan Sect, there was indeed nothing to say.

"Has Peak Lord Luo perhaps forgotten that Yuhua Peak still has several Disciples, not just this one Han Li?" an Elder said indifferently.

Hearing this, the other Elders and Peak Lords' eyes darted around.

That's right!

Yuhua Peak had more than just Han Li!

The other Disciples were not ordinary Disciples.

Apart from Han Li, every one of them was a True Disciple.

This situation was probably known to everyone.

Even with Feng Taixu's demise, the peak strength of Yuhua Peak was still not to be underestimated.

Although they knew Peak Lord Luo and Yuhua Peak were at odds, suggesting this at such a critical moment, his behavior seemed rather unsightly.

And hearing this Elder speak, Peak Lord Luo remained composed and said, "Elder Yu, this matter is for the sake of the Sect. I have no selfish motives. What needs to be saved, I believe, still needs to be saved."

"..."

No selfish motives?

Are you trying to fool ghosts?!

Who doesn't know you're at odds with Yuhua Peak?

You've fought with Feng Taixu more than once or twice.

The way you say it, you truly are "with a clear conscience"!

The great hall was silent.

Elder Yu, who had spoken, was choked by Peak Lord Luo's words.

Good gracious, he's completely shameless!

Are you really not afraid of those Disciples retaliating against your Disciples?

Even if you want to cancel Yuhua Peak, you're being too hasty.

"Brother Mo, what do you think?"

At this moment, Peak Lord Luo looked at a Peak Lord and asked.

"Peak Lord Luo's words are indeed good. If Yuhua Peak is canceled, the resources can be merged with other peaks, which can indeed Cultivate many Disciples. I agree with Peak Lord Luo's proposal."

A Peak Lord spoke.

"Brother Qiu, what do you think?"

Peak Lord Luo's face beamed with a smile as he looked at another Peak Lord.

"Although doing this might be somewhat offensive, for the development of the Sect, I believe Peak Lord Feng's spirit in heaven would not mind. I also agree with Peak Lord Luo's proposal." Another Peak Lord spoke.

"Elder Kong, Elder Yuan,... what about you?"

Peak Lord Luo looked at several other Elders, asking with a smile.

Without exception, the Elders who were asked all silently nodded, indicating their approval of Peak Lord Luo's proposal.

The other Elders and Peak Lords exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

"This guy is really good at acting; he's only asking those close to him..."

The other Elders and Peak Lords muttered inwardly... Inside the hall, Peak Lord Luo's face was radiant with a smile.

His gaze turned to the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, since everyone's opinions are consistent, I believe we can jointly report to the Sect Leader and cancel Yuhua Peak!"

His voice echoed in the hall.

Hearing this, the other Peak Lords and Elders who had not spoken frowned slightly.

In the seat of honor, the Grand Elder looked at Peak Lord Luo.

"Canceling Yuhua Peak and strengthening Qingyuan Sect, this is the right path!"

Peak Lord Luo spoke again.

But just then, from outside the great hall, a cold voice came.

"Canceling Yuhua Peak, is this to imply that my Yuhua Peak has no one left?"

The cold voice came, exploding like thunder within the great hall.

Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned towards the outside of the great hall.

A tall Gold-Robed Youth stepped into the great hall.

"Wu Wuji!"

Seeing the Gold-Robed Youth, the Peak Lords and Elders immediately recognized him.

Seeing Wu Wuji appear, Peak Lord Luo's smile abruptly ceased, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Wu Wuji's expression was normal as he walked step by step into the deliberation hall.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Wu Wuji, Feng Taixu's chief Disciple, was also one of Qingyuan Sect's most outstanding Disciples.

At this moment, he had appeared.

Stepping into the great hall, Wu Wuji's gaze swept across the entire room, his face showing no emotion.

But in the air, a subtle aura inexplicably permeated.

"The thirty-six lineages, with their Legacy of many years, my Yuhua Peak, though a rising star, is also one of the thirty-six lineages. Now, with a single sentence, you want to cancel my Yuhua Peak, Peak Lord Luo, do you think my Yuhua Peak is easy to bully?"

Wu Wuji stopped, his voice echoing in the magnificent great hall.

His tone was calm, but his voice was full of penetrative power, resounding like thunder within the hall.
