Chapter 496
The order came directly from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Governance Hall, accompanied by a deputy island master's talisman and detailed handover instructions, making it unmistakably official.
The stated reason was due to the recent [Assault on Ten Thousand Immortal Island] incident, and within the surviving system cultivators in the Congyun Sea, Li Fan held the highest rank.
Since the two Soul Transformation True Monarchs, Ziyun and Hongxi, were unable to return for various reasons, it was natural for Li Fan to take over as the acting island master by default.
However, Li Fan felt no joy from this sudden "gift" falling from the sky.
After carefully reading the transfer instructions, his brow furrowed tightly.
Although the role of Special Steward of the Martial Hall was largely ceremonial, only Nascent Soul cultivators or higher could hold such a position based on rank.
The position itself wasn’t low in rank. There was no issue with that. However, in the vast Congyun Sea, there were certainly many cultivators of a similar rank within the system who had not been captured by the Five Elders Association.
So why was this "heavy responsibility" specifically handed to Li Fan?
In this life, he had no hidden backing or powerful connections.
