Chapter 446 Discussion Hall (2/2)

Peak master Lei Jun was the most senior in the Cangxuan Sect, and even sect master Qing Yang was respectful towards him. In addition, he was in charge of the rules and punishments, making him the most intimidating and imposing of the hegemons.

Sect master Qing Yang helplessly shook his head, waving his sleeves as he scolded, “Are the two of you still not going to withdraw your Law Domains?!”

Only then did peak master Ling Jun and Liu Lianyu let out an icy snort. With a grasp of their hands, the dreadful Law Domains rapidly shrank, turning into halos of that withdrew into their bodies.

The temperature returned to normal, while the agitatedly stirring Genesis Qi also quietened down.

In the discussion hall, the other peak masters also helplessly shook their heads. These two were always bickering with each other. Master was still able to control them somewhat when he was still around, but the situation had only grown increasingly worse after master’s death. If not for sect master and peak master Lei Jun, the two of them would have come to blows countless times.

Sect master Qing Yang already had a headache. He pondered for a bit, before looking towards peak master Lei Jun. “What does peak master Lei Jun think? Should we postpone Saint Genesis Peak’s chief disciple selection?”

Peak master Lei Jun calmly replied with a solemn face, “Since we previously agreed on this, how can we make last minute changes?”

“Though Shen Taiyuan and Lu Song have worked hard in Saint Genesis Peak for many years, they were ultimately unable to achieve any results. Since this is the case, we’ll let someone else take on this task to unseal the main peak as soon as possible. Only then can we allow more disciples to enter Saint Genesis Peak to cultivate.”

Sect master Qing Yang nodded. “I too am of the same opinion.”

He then looked towards the frosty face of peak master Liu Lianyi and said, “Junior sister, this matter concerns the reopening of Saint Genesis Peak, and is of utmost importance to our Cangxuan Sect. We should not allow our personal feelings to influence our decisions.”

Peak master Liu Lianyi was expressionless. She pointed at the participant names from Shen Taiyuan and Lu Song’s factions and said, “How has such decisions ever given any chances to these two factions?”

Lu Hong’s faction was on a completely different level than the other two. Hence, she felt that there was basically no point in Saint Genesis Peak’s chief disciple selection.

Although Lu Hong’s faction should no longer have any relation with Sword Cometh Peak, at the end of the day, they could not change the fact that they were from Sword Cometh Peak, and would naturally lean towards peak master Ling Jun even in the future.

Though Lu Hong lacked the qualifications to become the peak master of Saint Genesis Peak, his status would become much higher than ordinary elders if he obtained the peak master seal.

If so, peak master Ling Jun’s influence and authority would rise.

Peak master Ling Jun indifferently said, “There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. It’s not like we haven’t given these two factions any chances, but they were ultimately unsuccessful in unsealing the main peak. Hence, they naturally cannot blame anyone else.”

“Moreover, I also made a wager back then. If Lu Hong’s faction fails to obtain the chief disciple position, it will naturally mean that my Sword Cometh Peak is incompetant. We will not only give up a fifth of our cultivation resources to be split among the other peaks, but also restrict ourselves to half of our original quota for the next disciple recruitment…”

“My Sword Cometh Peak has already taken on such risks, and now peak master Liu Lianyin wants to invalide everything just as we’re about to succeed?”

Peak master Liu Lianyi fell silent. They had naturally argued over which peak should send their disciples to Saint Genesis Peak back then, but Ling Jun had ultimately been the most ambitious.

He had put a fifth of Sword Cometh Peak’s cultivation resources and half their disciple recruitment quota on the line. The other peak masters were not people who liked to make a fuss, and thus backed down upon seeing peak master Ling Jun’s resolve. As such, Sword Cometh Peak ended up being the ones to send a faction to Saint Genesis Peak.

From the looks of things, the chief disciple position of Saint Genesis Peak would most likely end up with Lu Hong’s faction. In other words, peak master Ling Jun was basically about to win his grand gamble.

This was why peak master Lianyi did not feel comfortable about this situation.

Sect master Qing Yang gave a slight nod, before letting out a sigh. He was the sect master after all, and needed to mediate the relationships between the various peaks. As such, he waved his hand and said to peak master Lianyi, “There shall be no more discussions about this matter. Everything will proceed as we had agreed on previously.”

“If Ling Jun loses this wager, he will have the price in accordance to what he promised before.”

Peak master Lianyi’s face was ice-cold. She glanced at peak master Ling Jun and sneered, “Don’t celebrate too early. In the thousand in one chance that something unexpected happens, I’ll see if you’ll still be smiling.”

After finishing, she stood up and left the hall.

At the sight of her leaving, the others in the hall chuckled helplessly.

Peak master Ling Jun did not appear to mind her final words. He reached out to flick the list in his hand as his gaze indifferently swept across the participants of the other two Saint Genesis Peak factions. In the end, the corners of his lips curled slightly into a mocking and disdainful smile.

“Something unexpected?”

“With these participants? What a joke.”
