Chapter 755 - 745: No Need to Go
In the grand hall of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong sat on his throne, eyelids drooping as if in deep meditation, completely motionless.
Only the occasional disdainful twitch of his eyelids and the flash of anger in his eyes proved that he was still involved in this tiresome meeting.
The first seat to the left of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong was occupied by Stars Tower Master Yan Cong, who was continuously sipping from a bowl of tea that had long since lost its flavor.
Naturally, the point wasn’t to taste the tea; sometimes, while subtly wiping the lid of the tea bowl, his eyes, shining with a cunning gleam, would sweep the hall. A trace of a profound and inscrutable smile would flicker at the corner of his eyes, and then he would ponder deeply, biding his time for the right moment to act.
Beneath Yan Cong sat Yun Chonggao of Qingyun Castle, one of the three Clan Elders. With eyes half-closed, his sharp gaze made it clear he was no easy opponent. Occasionally, when he looked down, his eyes would exchange meaningful glances with Yan Cong, followed by a mutual knowing smile.
Next to Yun Chonggao was Duan Yingnian, the Guardian Sect Commander of the Longevity Sect. Unlike the subtlety of Yan Cong and Yun Chonggao, Duan Yingnian openly set himself against the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, observing vigilantly the ongoing tirade of Elder Fangg Lifeng from the Profound Moon Sect in the center of the hall.
Every few sentences bellowed by Elder Fangg Lifeng, Duan Yingnian would chime in, and the voices of both men filled the grand hall.
The most serene person in the entire hall sat at the very end of the left side—Third Elder Jih Xuan of the Heavenly Net Sect, even calmer than Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong. Sitting there with his eyes closed, it was anyone’s guess whether he was even listening to Elder Fangg Lifeng.
To the left were the four major forces gathered by the Profound Moon Sect to challenge Sect Leader Jian’s position, while naturally, to the right was the high echelon of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Unexpectedly, the first seat was taken not by the prominent Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang but by Punishment Hall Elder Tus De.
