92: Chapter 42 Temporary Suppression of the Vice Sect Leader [Seeking Votes and Followers]_3 92: Chapter 42 Temporary Suppression of the Vice Sect Leader [Seeking Votes and Followers]_3 “Only unity can bring shared ambitions, Sect Leader Brother!”

Silence.

At the Immortal Banquet, one could hear a pin drop.

Li Dazhi was feeling somewhat anxious.

Had he misspoken just now, or had he overstepped his bounds?

Weren’t all the remaining Sect Leaders in the Wanyun Sect considered ‘younger brothers’ of the sect?

For a sect to grow and strengthen, not only must it have many experts and numerous external businesses, but also allies and obedient subordinate sects are crucial…

“Hahahahaha!”

Yun Mo Daoist suddenly burst into hearty laughter:

“With Brother Dazhi’s great ambition, why should I worry about the prosperity of our Wanyun Sect!

We’ll do as you say!

Even if this Castcloud Hall venture ultimately fails, the worst case is we’ll just spend some Spirit Stones!

Brother Dazhi, please go ahead and take action!”

The towering Wei Yuan Sect Sect Leader suddenly stood up, “Brother Dazhi!

I toast to you!”

“Ah, you are too kind, too kind.”

Li Dazhi quickly stood up to reciprocate, his heart finally relaxed.

It seemed that things were going his way.

Moments later, Li Dazhi hastened to leave and continue brainstorming with the other Elders about how to ‘assembly line’ upgrade.

Just as Li Dazhi turned past the screen, Elder Xiaoyue, clad in a crimson gown, hurried towards him.

Guided by the principle of not striking someone who extends a hand in friendship, Li Dazhi greeted her with a beaming smile, only to be directly stopped by Elder Xiaoyue.

“Uncle-Master Dazhi!”

“Hmm?”

Li Dazhi blinked, his slightly plump face filled with curiosity.

A trace of hesitation flickered in Xiaoyue’s eyes.

She knew that by delivering the Jade Talisman from Li Ping’an into Li Dazhi’s hands, she was officially breaking with Vice Sect Leader Moyi and the others, and the consequences would be difficult to predict.

But Xiaoyue was not one with narrow horizons;

Moreover, she was now well aware of the value contained within those twelve Magic Artifacts.

“Uncle-Master Dazhi, this is the Jade Talisman that Ping’an entrusted me to give you.”

“Oh?”

Li Dazhi took the Jade Talisman and glanced at it; three dark lines formed on his forehead.

Trouble!

The ‘eagle language’ words Ping’an had asked him to remember he had drunk away!

Li Dazhi quickly excused himself to a corner with a little notebook and started to carefully compare.

The message seems to be…

loudly…

Was Ping’an’s intention for Xiaoyue to take charge of selling the Magic Artifacts, and for this to be announced publicly in an enthusiastic manner?

Li Dazhi was somewhat troubled.

How enthusiastic could he be?

This beautiful and young looking Elder was older than him by a couple of thousand years.

Despite her younger appearance, akin to his grandniece, she still addressed him as Uncle-Master…

With gritted teeth and a stomp, Li Dazhi looked up with an astonished expression, stared at Xiaoyue, stepped forward quickly, then turned left three times and right three times.

“Aiyaiyai, aiyaiyai!

You are a rare talent in commerce once in ten thousand years!”

Xiaoyue watched Li Dazhi with a smile, feeling uneasy from head to toe.

“Come!

Follow me!”

Li Dazhi grabbed Xiaoyue’s arm and without further ado dragged her behind the screen.

Xiaoyue frowned tightly, about to push Li Dazhi away, when her eyes caught sight of a group of Heavenly Immortal magnates.

“Sect Leader!”

Li Dazhi yelled:

“This Elder Xiaoyue, I’m taking her for Castcloud Hall!

She’ll be in charge of selling the Magic Artifacts!”

Vice Sect Leader Moyi’s smile remained, but the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.

Yun Mo Daoist laughed, “Even if you hadn’t said so, it would still be Sister Xiaoyue taking charge of this task; she is indeed Wanyun Sect’s blessed star!”

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Li Dazhi released Xiaoyue’s arm and gave her a respectful bow, “I hope for Elder Xiaoyue’s ongoing support in the future.”

Xiaoyue spoke softly, “It is Uncle-Master who should look after Yue’er.”

Not daring to look at Vice Sect Leader Moyi any longer, she bowed her head, excused herself, and withdrew, filled with mixed feelings.

Li Dazhi, humming a tune, floated back to the center of the hall, where he and the Elders fervently continued working on the Magic Artifacts.

After the Immortal Banquet concluded, the friendly sect Sect Leaders left satisfied.

Before departing, they all made it a point to warmly greet Li Dazhi.

After the friendly sect Sect Leaders were sent off, Yun Mo Daoist returned to his quarters and summoned Vice Sect Leader Moyi before him.

The two remained silent for a moment, one sitting and one standing.

Yun Mo Daoist suddenly remarked, “Little brother, your cultivation hasn’t progressed for the last thousand years, you’ve become a bit negligent in your cultivation.”

Moyi bowed his head and replied with a sigh, “I was just about to discuss this with you, brother.

I wish to retreat and concentrate on my cultivation for a while.”

“Go ahead.”

Yun Mo Daoist said with a smile:

“Please invite Elder Bi to join you in your retreat as well.

The recent dispute at Kaiyun Peak caused quite the embarrassment, but we should treat all thirty-six peaks with impartiality.

I will arrange for more Immortals to join Castcloud Hall to assist Brother Dazhi.”

“Sect Leader is wise.”

Vice Sect Leader Moyi humbly gave a Taoist salute, without taking another look at Yun Mo Daoist, he turned and left.

His figure seemed to age thousands of years in that moment.

Yun Mo Daoist looked up, sighed softly.

He knew Moyi’s character all too well.

Before he became the Current Sect Leader, Moyi was already an Inner Sect Elder.

Today was not about Moyi suddenly panicking, disregarding his image and shamelessly confronting Brother Dazhi in public;

It was about Moyi knowing that if this new Spirit Stone venture was controlled by Brother Dazhi, his standing in the sect would become unshakable.

That was Moyi’s only chance just now.

What a pity…

Yun Mo Daoist gave a salute in the direction Moyi had left and shook his head with a sigh.

Two days later.

Finally finding some time, Li Dazhi left Wanyun Hall, his belly forward, guiding his cloud straight towards the dwelling of Li Ping’an and his disciple.
