Upon hearing that the elderly woman with white eyebrows was ascending, saying she wanted to remove her from her position as leader of the sect,
the anger in Fang Meiyun's heart also became impossible to suppress.
The other woman was a disciple of her own generation; at one point, they had even competed for the position of sect leader.
And now, at such a delicate time, she wanted to take advantage of her downfall to snatch the position?
"Since when, Xue Chunyan, do you decide how the sect leader is chosen? All these years, I have worked with dedication for the sake of the sect, and I didn't see you say anything then?"
"Yes, I know everyone thinks that what happened with Tang Yu is a personal matter of mine."
"But is it really something that only concerns me? That lunatic has a cultivation talent superior to everyone here. How much time has passed, and he has already reached the Golden Core stage?"
"If we continue to let him grow, it won't even be a decade before all of us here won't be able to compete with even one of his fingers."
Fang Meiyun replied with conviction, insisting that everything she did was for the good of the sect.
Upon hearing her words, several of the supreme elders showed expressions of concern and nodded in agreement.
It was true that Tang Yu's cultivation talent was terrifying.
Even though they had reached the Divine Transformation realm, which spoke of their own talent,
compared to that young man, there was simply no comparison.
A powerful enemy is not as frightening as one who evolves faster than you, damn it.
"Still, that doesn't justify you repeatedly falling into his traps. You've been manipulated by a brat and caused great losses to our Sect of the Maidens. You cannot evade your responsibility."
The elderly woman with white eyebrows remained firm in her stance.
Some of the supreme elders who supported her also expressed their opinions, saying that Fang Meiyun should give an explanation.
The discussion between both sides became increasingly heated, while a handful of neutral supreme elders observed from the side with impassive faces, although they were very worried inside.
All of this because of a young man from the Hehuan Sect? How would this spectacle be explained if it got out?
Until an illusory figure appeared.
Only then did everyone immediately fall silent and look respectfully towards the figure, speaking in unison:
"Patriarch."
"Why aren't you all discussing anymore?"
The external projection of the Patriarch of the Sect of the Maidens scanned the crowd and asked with a cold laugh and a hoarse voice.
Everyone started sweating from their foreheads; no one dared to respond, knowing the Patriarch was in a very bad mood.
"I'm already aware of what happened today. Meiyun, as the sect leader, you should have thought more before acting. Making a mistake of this magnitude is unforgivable. According to the sect's laws, you should be removed from your position."
"But, since you have served with dedication all these years and your intention was to protect the sect, I will forgive you this time."
With these words from the Patriarch, the matter was settled.
Fang Meiyun also sighed with relief inside and quickly responded respectfully: "I will not make such a grave mistake again."
"Still talking about next time? How many times have you failed already? You sent Meng Zihao twice, and both times he returned empty-handed. This time Feixue and the other three died. How many more will you sacrifice next time? And if you really succeed, how will we deal with the vengeance of that crazy old man Nangong Wuxin?"
The elderly woman with white eyebrows was the first to explode after hearing that.
"Better not provoke more conflicts. Let's focus on our own tasks and wait for the right moment."
"Yes, let's stay calm. We will talk when that old Nangong Wuxin dies."
"Will Tang Yu be a greater threat than Nangong Wuxin in five hundred years?"
"That cannot be stated. I've heard that Nangong Wuxin might break through his limit in cultivation."
After the other supreme elders commented a little,
someone mentioned that Nangong Wuxin might break through his limit, which immediately silenced everyone.
For the Sect of the Maidens, there was nothing more terrifying than that.
Without Nangong Wuxin, the Hehuan Sect would be no match for them.
But if Nangong Wuxin managed to break through his limit, the situation between the two sects would be reversed.
And the existence of Tang Yu, that monster, only made the Jade Maiden Sect feel even more unsettled.
At that moment, they suddenly understood why Fang Meiyun was so anxious.
All eyes turned to the Patriarch.
"Some time ago, we detected a trace of the Dao emanating from the Hehuan Sect, but we cannot confirm if it was Nangong Wuxin who broke through his limit. Reaching our level is already difficult, and advancing further is no easy task."
"For now, let's continue observing the situation. Also, give me some time. That crazy old man won't be able to stir up trouble for much longer."
The Patriarch of the Sect of the Maidens spoke calmly.
Nangong Wuxin was powerful, yes, but he wasn't alone.
Upon hearing these words, everyone felt as if they had taken a calming pill, letting out a sigh of relief.
Once the meeting ended,
Fang Meiyun returned alone to her cave with a gloomy face.
She was already in a terrible mood, and as soon as she entered her cave,
she saw Meng Zihao sitting in the chair where she had just had tea.
He had a cup in his hand and was licking it with his tongue, a look of ecstasy on his face.
When Meng Zihao noticed Fang Meiyun had returned, he quickly stored the cup in his storage ring and, somewhat embarrassed, said:
"Ah, Meiyun, you're back. This tea is delicious; it left me with an unforgettable taste."
"Delicious? Isn't that the cup of tea I just used? How can you be so disgusting? You're a disgusting, repulsive dog."
Fang Meiyun was so furious that she didn't even use her magic or abilities.
She simply lunged at him using her body's strength, hitting and kicking him relentlessly.
Disgusting, too disgusting!
The cup of tea she had used, he was licking it over and over again?
If she had come back a little later, who knows what else he would have done with that cup?
After being hit and insulted twice in one day, Meng Zihao's face showed pain, but inside, he was absolutely happy.
Young brother Tang Yu was truly incredibly clever.
Licking the cup and those things were tricks he himself had taught him.
According to his words, the ideal approach would be to start with the underwear and let her discover it by "accident." That way, he could satisfy his desires.
This time, Fang Meiyun hit him for a full half hour, until she was sweating.
During that venting, the accumulated anger in Fang Meiyun's heart dissipated completely.
She had already realized.
Every time she hit Meng Zihao,
the negative emotions in her heart were spectacularly relieved.
After drying her hands with a towel, Fang Meiyun spat on Meng Zihao's head and turned to leave.
Lying on the ground, Meng Zihao had a look of complete satisfaction.
A life like this? What more could he ask for?
At the same time, news about the strange death of the four elders of the Maiden Sect began to spread.
No one knows how, but the information leaked.
The rumors said that the four had tried to assassinate Tang Yu from the Hehuan Sect.
They sought to eliminate that absolute genius who was leading the Hehuan Sect to glory.
But instead, they fell into his trap and all died in the attempt.
This news, when made public, was a severe blow to the reputation of the Maiden Sect.
However, soon an even bigger news caught everyone's attention.
A small paradise from an ancient immortal, a kind of secret world, had been discovered, and the Maiden Sect attempted to take control of it.
But after failing to break the barriers of the paradise, they caused celestial phenomena.
Since the small paradise was located on the border between the territories of the Hehuan Sect, the Maiden Sect, and the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain,
it was decided that the three sects would open the barrier together and enter the place.
Anyone else wishing to enter would have to pay an entry fee of ten superior quality spirit stones.
Additionally, they would have to wait a week after the entry of the three main sects.
Even so, many cultivators were willing to take the risk for a chance inside.
Other major sects also took out large amounts of spirit stones and began preparing their disciples to enter and claim a part of the loot.
As the matter of the small secret paradise became more well-known,
Tang Yu, who had deliberately caused the disruption during the attempt by the Maiden Sect to break the barrier, leading to the exposure of the secret, was organizing the candidates within the Hehuan Sect.
This time, the three sects had agreed that each would send a hundred disciples.
"Junior brother, this time you will lead the group. There will be ten cultivators of the Advanced Golden Core stage, including you, then twenty at the Golden Core stage, and seventy at the Foundation stage."
"The disciples at the Golden Core and Foundation stages will mainly be responsible for exploring the relatively safe outer areas of the small paradise."
"Of the Advanced Golden Core stage, two will stay ready to provide support at any moment. The rest, led by you, will be in charge of exploring the interior of the secret paradise. The safety of everyone will be the top priority."
Once the list of disciples was assigned, Liu Yanlan looked at Tang Yu while handing over the mission.
"Senior sister, why does the secret paradise have a level restriction, only allowing those up to this level to enter?"
Tang Yu couldn't help but complain.
He had been thinking about letting someone else lead the group while he wandered alone, getting "accidentally attacked" and then counterattacking and extorting the culprit.
"When one reaches the Divine Transformation stage, they control the power of space. If a fight happens within the small world, it's easy to trigger some dangerous restrictions, or even cause the space to collapse. After too many tragedies, it was prohibited for those at the Divine Transformation stage to enter."
Liu Yanlan smiled with resignation. At her cultivation level, they could only enter some really dangerous secret areas.
Although, in those types of places, dying even at the Divine Transformation stage was quite common.
"It makes sense."
Tang Yu understood suddenly. He had always wondered why, in fantasy and cultivation novels, these dungeons had level restrictions.
After a pause, Tang Yu smiled and said, "Well, that's fine. There are still seven days before we enter, so I'll take the chance to go out and run some errands."
"Do you need me to assign you a bodyguard?"
Upon hearing that Tang Yu wanted to wander off again, Liu Yanlan couldn't help but worry a bit.
"Of course I do. Senior sister, why don't you come with me?"
Tang Yu winked provocatively at Liu Yanlan.
Liu Yanlan ignored his teasing gestures. Day after day, he always had excuses: saying he was tired, or wanting to give her leg massages, all to take advantage of her body.
