The two elders resigned at the same time

While Zhong Qing was excited, far away, someone was feeling very uncomfortable.

Let's talk about Wu Yue, the Seventh Elder of Limitless Sect; ever since he returned to the Sect, he had no appetite for anything and no energy for anything.

He was completely distraught, like a walking corpse.

His mind was filled with thoughts of those Pill Formulas.

For an Alchemist, a good Pill Formula undoubtedly possesses a fatal attraction.

A book one foot thick, containing an unknown number of Pill Formulas.

This feeling of wanting something but being unable to grasp it, unable to hold it tightly, was incredibly difficult to bear.

This day, in Bai Chang Hall!

"No, I can't go on like this anymore!"

Wu Yue sprang from his bed, scratching his messy white hair.

His eyes were red as he looked out the window.

Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, he stepped directly out of his room and headed to the Wu Ji Hall, the Sect Master's palace of Limitless Sect!

The Sect Master of Wu Ji Hall was named Sect Leader Ouyang Hao!

He was a burly, dignified, and solemn middle-aged man.

At this moment, he was handling Sect affairs on the throne in the main hall.

For a Holy Land Sect like this, while the Sect Master enjoys supreme authority, he naturally also has to bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

And Sect Leader Ouyang Hao was definitely a model of diligence.

During his more than five hundred years in office, the Sect flourished under his leadership.

Whether it was Disciples, Elders, or Guest Elders, all showed a thriving and talented populace.

"Sect Master, Seventh Elder is here to visit!"

Just then, a guard came to report, causing the busy Sect Leader Ouyang Hao to pause.

"Why is he here?"

Although he was puzzled, Sect Leader Ouyang Hao quickly responded, "Please invite him in!"

The Seventh Elder held a high position within the Sect.

His Sun Profound Realm cultivation was not only a pillar of the Holy Land Sect, but his Alchemy skills had also reached a transcendent level, unmatched by anyone in the entire Eastern Domain.

For such a talent, even as the Sect Master of Limitless Sect, he had to show three parts of deference.

As the guard went out, shortly after, Wu Yue's figure appeared in the main hall.

"Seventh Elder, what happened to you?"

Sect Leader Ouyang Hao looked at Wu Yue, who had bloodshot eyes, was unkempt, and in extremely poor spirits, and asked with a surprised expression.

Wu Yue was silent for a moment.

He had come to resign this time.

As soon as he thought of the soul-stirring ancient Pill Formulas on Mufu Peak, he couldn't stay for another moment.

However, when it truly came time to resign, he hesitated.

In Limitless Sect, his position was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Of course, if it were only because of his extraordinary position, he wouldn't hesitate.

The more crucial reason was that the Sect Master of Limitless Sect treated him with great courtesy and had shown him recognition.

If he were to just leave like this, wouldn't it seem too ungrateful?

But this hesitation quickly turned into determination.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places; this is an eternal truth.

The Dan Yuan Dao Scripture in Zhong Qing's hands held a fatal attraction for him.

It even concerned his future Dao.

The path of Dao is not about human relations, nor is it about inviting people to dinner.

Many people even abandon humanity, severing emotions and desires, for the sake of cultivating the Dao.

He was merely pursuing his own Dao.

Thinking of this, he said with a serious expression, "Sect Master, I wish to resign!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Sect Leader Ouyang Hao was stunned.

"Seventh Elder, why is this?"

Wu Yue stammered for a moment.

He couldn't possibly say that he was resigning because he wanted to join a second-rate Sect, Immortal River Sect!

No one would believe such a reason, and the Sect Master, not knowing the truth, would think he was trying to put him off and insulting his intelligence.

Given this, he could only find an excuse to prevaricate: "No reason."

"I just feel tired and want to retreat to the mountains; I hope the Sect Master will grant my wish!"

Sect Leader Ouyang Hao was puzzled.

"The Eighth Elder also came to resign not long ago, with the same reason as you."

"Could it be that staying in Limitless Sect truly exhausts you both physically and mentally?"

His eyes showed deep incomprehension.

He even began to suspect whether his Sect policies had issues.

Two Elders resigning in a row was not a small loss for Limitless Sect, especially since both were Alchemists.

And Wu Yue, upon hearing Sect Leader Ouyang Hao's words, immediately bristled.

"What? Old Eight has already left?"

"Yes! You two usually have a close private relationship, like brothers; didn't he tell you?"

Wu Yue secretly cursed in his heart: "This scoundrel, I treated him like a brother, a beloved friend, yet he secretly went to pledge allegiance to that Senior behind my back."

At this moment, Wu Yue's guilt about leaving Limitless Sect vanished completely.

Sure enough, when it comes to Opportunity!

You have to seize it quickly when you encounter it.

If you're a step slow, you'll miss out on everything.

"Sect Master, I have urgent matters, so I'll be leaving first."

"Here is the Elder token; I'm returning it to you now."

"But rest assured, I'll come back to visit often when I have time."

After speaking, he placed the identity token representing a Limitless Sect Elder on the table.

He then left in a great hurry, leaving behind the bewildered Sect Master of Limitless Sect, Sect Leader Ouyang Hao.

Since when could one join and leave a dignified Holy Land Sect so casually?

Even resigning was so informal.

He had a mind to send people to stop them, but after thinking about it, he ultimately did nothing.

After all, both the Seventh Elder and the Eighth Elder were rare talents.

Talents naturally had to be treated differently from ordinary people.

Rather than forcibly keeping them, it was better to generously let them leave; this way, at least a good relationship and a connection could be maintained.

It wouldn't sour the relationship.

If he needed their help in the future, with this connection, they would at least show some respect.

Thinking this way, Sect Leader Ouyang Hao's depressed mood improved significantly.

At the same time, he pondered whether he should improve the treatment of the Sect's high-level members.

If two Elders left every day like this, even with the foundation of a Holy Land Sect, who could withstand such a loss of talent?

…

Let's not talk about the impact and changes Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian's resignations had on Limitless Sect.

Let's just say that both of them, after leaving Limitless Sect, rushed non-stop to Immortal River Sect.

As they approached Immortal River Sect, both prepared to tidy themselves up.

This time, they came with sincerity.

To successfully join Immortal River Sect, they naturally had to spruce themselves up to make a good impression.

By a clear river, Shi Xiaotian looked at his reflection in the river, tidying his clothes.

He had a somewhat ethereal and Daoist demeanor, and then he saw Wu Yue descending from the sky!

"It's you?"

His eyes were filled with surprise.

He had never expected to meet his old friend in this place.

"You little rascal, I treated you like a brother, a beloved friend, yet you left Limitless Sect and want to join Immortal River Sect."

"You didn't even tell me about such a big matter."

"How cunning of you!"

Wu Yue directly mocked him.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaotian's face flushed with a hint of shame.

After all, what he did was indeed not honorable.

But he quickly reacted.

As soon as he left the Sect, he rushed non-stop to Immortal River Sect.

He had just arrived, and Wu Yue arrived right after him.

What did this mean? It meant they both had the same idea.

In an instant, his shame vanished, and he retorted, "Aren't you the same? I don't believe you thought of calling me when you left."

Just like that, the two men, who were once as close as brothers, almost sharing a pair of pants, began to mock and ridicule each other.

In the end, it was Wu Yue who first called a truce.

"Alright, aren't we both just trying to join the Senior's side? One more or one less doesn't make a difference."

"Why don't we go together? That way, we can look out for each other."

"That's an excellent idea!"

On the surface, the two became harmonious brothers again.

But secretly, they were muttering in their hearts.

It's good to have him along; if the Senior only accepts one person and sets up a test, it'll be good to expose some of his dark secrets to highlight my own greatness and splendor, won't it?

As for brothers?

Isn't the greatest meaning of brotherhood to be used for selling out at times like this?
