Chapter 157: How Did the Five Elements Sect Lose The Last Time?

    Trantor: yikaii Editor: yikaii

    Returning to the Dao Seeking Sect from Tang Yunsheng’s ce, Eldest Senior Sister remained silent the entire way, probably feeling it unnecessary to worry about such matters, leaving everything to Evesting Fairy and Lu Yang to handle.

    Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone didn’t ask further, believing that with Eldest Senior Sister backing them, nothing would go wrong.

    After returning to the Dao Seeking Sect, Evesting Fairy focused on nning the reception process.

    “The sect leader’s speech at the wee ceremony… so troublesome. Lu Yang, can you write it? If you help me write it, I’ll teach you an immortal technique.” Evesting Fairy, feeling headache from the nning, sought help from her reliable assistant, Lu Yang.

    Lu Yang chuckled: “If it’s a cookbook, I’ll pass.”

    “What are you saying, what’s wrong with this immortal’s cooking skills?”

    Lu Yang didn’t respond, just rolled his eyes to show his stance.

    Having no choice, Evesting Fairy had to buckle down and write it herself, spending half a day to squeeze out two sentences: “Wee to the Five Elements Sect. Feel free to enjoy yourselves.”

    Lu Yang: “…Never mind, I’ll help you write it.”

    “Really?” Evesting Fairy’s eyes lit up upon hearing Lu Yang agree to help, handing over the task of writing the speech to him and focusing on what to serve for the reception meal instead.

    Lu Yang had no choice but to help, or else he’d be the one embarrassedter.

    “This is the first time I’m hosting arge event; it should be grand. To show how seriously I take this event, I’ll cook the meals myself!” Evesting Fairy was spirited, wanting to show the world that her cooking skills as Yellow Bean could rival those of a Tribtion Crossing Stage spiritual chef!

    Lu Yang just hoped she wouldn’t rival a Tribtion Crossing Stage poison master.

    Evesting Fairy also devised a n to deal with the Undying Sect: “As my followers, if they don’t help me, it’s fine, but daring to cause trouble, not a single one will get away!”

    After a full day’s work, the two finally drafted the event n and presented it to Eldest Senior Sister for review.

    After reading it, Eldest Senior Sister didn’t have much to say, onlymenting that it was fine: “From today on, the predecessor is the acting sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect. I have informed the eight elders, and they have agreed to cooperate with Lu Yang’s work.”

    The elders were unaware of Evesting Fairy’s existence.

    Lu Yang gathered the eight elders to discuss the wee ceremony process.

    “Is it me or her who’s the sect leader?” Lu Yang felt he was doing quite a bit of work.

    “What’s there to be dissatisfied about? Without me, could you have exchanged for a One-Day Sect Master Experience in Dao Seeking Sect coupon? This is a chance, no, an immortal opportunity I generously bestowed upon you!” Evesting Fairy thought Lu Yang was ungrateful.

    “In ancient times, everyone wanted to be the leader. Ying Tian Immortal and the others each controlled at least tens of thousands of life stars, not counting the mining stars, gravity stars, dead stars, and other utilitarian stars! They fought over more stars, and I mediated several times!”

    “How many life stars did you control?”

    “One.”

    “…Why so few?”

    “I’m just not good at managing people. If it weren’t for Ying Tian Immortal and the others saying an immortal should have a territory, saying it’d be shameful otherwise, and forcibly giving me one, I’d reluctantly epted one.”

    “After giving it to me, I found a cultivator with strong management skills to manage that star. I asionally visit the mortal realm to see how it’s managed.”

    “What did you do after bing an immortal?”

    “Shopping, visiting friends, cooking, sleeping.”

    “Are you a human or a salted fish spirit?”

    Evesting Fairy was displeased: “Have you seen a salted fish spirit as beautiful as me?”

    “Now I have.”

    “I also often secretly follow them, observing their movements and range of activities.”

    Lu Yang thought, finally something that sounded like ancient times; was she nning to ambush them, reducing the number of immortals?

    “What’s this for?”

    “To avoid running into them. For instance, if I attend an auction and some shortsighted person unts their identity, saying they’re the son of some tribe’s chieftain, sayingpeting with them is disrespecting their tribe, then I stand up, revealing my immortal status, scaring them to the point of trembling.”

    Otherwise, it’s about stepping in to mediate when two tribes sh. Neither side recognizes me, and they disdainfully ask who I think I am. That’s when I release my immortal aura, which works remarkably well, with both sides inviting me to their tribes as a guest.”

    “Or it could be someone provoking me, and I send them flying with a p. They bring their backer, who brings an army to surround me. Then, their ancestor recognizes me, eximing, ‘You, you’re Evesting Fairy,’ and falls to their knees, begging for my forgiveness.”

    “Based on my experience, the effect is best when I am the only immortal present.” (TL Note: These are all topes in cultivation novels)

    Lu Yang’s eyelid twitched, realizing Evesting Fairy’s immortal life was indeed full of color and not that of a salted fish spirit.

    While they spoke, the eight elders gradually entered the room, and Lu Yang specifically noticed the eighth elder, seeing him for the first time.

    “We greet the acting sect master,” the eight elders said, bowing.

    “Come, let me chair the meeting!” Evesting Fairy pushed Lu Yang aside, taking over the body.

    She wanted to be the sect leader for this very moment of indulgence.

    “My dear officials, rise.”

    Lu Yang covered his face, regretting ever calling out Evesting Fairy’s true name.

    Initially, he thought Evesting Fairy was a golden finger, but now he realized her only uses were to tell ancient dark histories and embarrass him.

    The elders were somewhat unustomed to Lu Yang’s demeanor, but then remembered he was Daoist Non-Speaker’s disciple, and it all made sense.

    “Acting Sect Master, let me pour you some water.” A familiar and indifferent voice came from behind Lu Yang, causing Evesting Fairy to break out in a cold sweat.

    Eldest Senior Sister, holding a teapot, poured water for Evesting Fairy with perfect grace, making one marvel at how wless Yun Zhi was in everything she did.

    As Yun Zhi bent to pour water, she gave Evesting Fairy a cold look. Evesting Fairy quickly nodded, indicating she would definitely behave and not cause any trouble.

    Theirmunication required no mind-reading, relying solely on eye contact.

    Evesting Fairy got serious, cleared her throat, and said, “You all must be aware that the day after tomorrow, the Five Elements Sect will visit our Dao Seeking Sect. I’ve gathered you here for this matter. Any thoughts?”

    The eldest elder was the mostposed: “The visitors bear ill intentions.”

    “Why do you say that?”

    “The Five Elements Sect has visited us once before. ording to tradition, it should be our turn to visit them next. Their breaking of tradition to visit us again can only mean one thing: they want to avenge their previous loss and defeat us on our ground!”

    Evesting Fairy hadn’t considered this aspect: “ording to the elders’ views, what should we do?”

    The second elder gestured a slicing motion across his neck: “Ambush them on the road, beat them up while masked, and make them retreat. Don’t worry, I’m experienced. My operations are clean, leaving no loose ends for anyone to trace back to me.”

    The other elders nodded in agreement, endorsing the second elder’s suggestion.

    “I’ve had enough of the Five Elements Sect. After losingst time, they even said our Dao Seeking Sect doesn’t belong to the nature’s five elements. What kind of reasoning is that!”

    “Let’s show them, let them know the strength of our Dao Seeking Sect!”

    “Ever since Little Qiu became the sect leader, he’s changed. He must’ve forgotten what happened when he was young and challenged our Dao Seeking Sect’s Nine!”

    Evesting Fairy was curious: “How did the Five Elements Sect losest time?”

    The eighth elder exined: “Oh, it was simple. They came over, proposing apetition between disciples, stating elders couldn’t interfere, and wanted our best disciple to fight their best.”

    “And then?”

    “Then Little Yun stepped in.”

    Evesting Fairy suddenly turned to look at the expressionless Eldest Senior Sister, almost forgetting that she was considered a disciple too.

    The eldest elder sighed: “Perhaps Little Yun is too powerful, making Old Qiu forget she isn’t from our generation but is the disciple of the ninth.”
