The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 215 Promotion Ceremony (2)

Tang Huanyun, filled with hatred, said coldly, "Don't wait for him. The ceremony will proceed as usual."

The sect leader was not there, but the ceremony went on as usual, which surprised many people. They felt that Elder Tang, who was always gentle and courteous, seemed to have changed suddenly. However, no one dared to speak and could only obey orders.

There was a square bronze incense burner on the altar, which was used to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors. Tang Huanyun took her to light incense and pay tribute to the ancestors. Then she kowtowed to the tablet of the previous head on the ground, in order to inform the ancestors of heaven and earth that there was a successor to the position of Elder Yaoguang.

The audience was silent, no one dared to object, and they had already acquiesced in their hearts that Mu Hanxing had become Elder Yaoguang.

"I, Mu Hanxing, a disciple of Wenxin Sect, swear to heaven today that after I am promoted to the position of Elder Yaoguang, I will use all my wisdom and effort, devote myself to eliminating harm for the people, and benefit all living things!" She swore solemnly, her voice loud and clear on the high platform.

After the ceremony, Tang Huanyun stood aside and said majestically, "Disciples, why don't you pay your respects to Elder Yaoguang?"

Everyone quickly knelt down at the foot of the altar, and their voices became even louder: "Greetings to Elder Yaoguang!"

She waved her sleeves to stop Chuntao and Gongyu who were about to kneel and kowtow. She signaled to them with her eyes that they didn't need to kneel, and if they wanted to kneel, they had to wait until she returned to Fuyue City.

The two of them understood each other and smiled. Feng Xiao didn't have to kneel and stayed beside her, acting as a good little husband.

Mu Hanxing was happy. The plan was more than half completed. But she couldn't help but be curious. Why didn't Cui Ren come yet? Did he go through too much in the theater and become stupid? Given his personality, he could deliberately shoot a sneak attack at Lu Xin when she was in crisis. Wouldn't he do something small during her promotion ceremony?

Or was it because Gong Yu and his men were always watching them that his people had no chance to take action?

The promotion ceremony went so smoothly that she became cautious and suspicious.

A group of people were about to get down from the altar when a man came running over from not far away, shouting, "Run! Qiongqi may be coming out!"

Tang Huanyun and Mu Hanxing's expressions suddenly changed: "What!?"

A group of people were still kept in the dark. Some outer disciples didn't even know that the ancient giant beast Qiongqi was suppressed in the mountain gate. They touched their heads, looking puzzled.

The man ran over, and Mu Hanxing could see clearly that it was Lin Yifeng. He ran straight towards her, saying as he ran: "I originally wanted to return the apprenticeship gift to him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I just passed by the forbidden area and heard some noise. I'm afraid he wants to use Qiongqi to kill you! Because he mentioned it to me before!"

The disciples had no idea what Lin Yifeng was shouting, but Mu Hanxing understood it instantly. In the Shiguang Mirror, she saw with her own eyes that Senior Wu Nian once told her master that she must never choose to make a deal with Qiongqi just for the sake of temporary pursuit of power, as there would be endless troubles afterwards.

Cui Ren! I thought he was pretending to be dead, but I didn't expect he was holding back a big one!

He knew that her promotion to Elder Yaoguang was a foregone conclusion. If she used the identity of Elder Yaoguang to interfere with his actions in the mountain gate in the future and affect his prestige, he decided to strike first and exchange conditions with Qiongqi to find the power that could annihilate her in one fell swoop!

The calm before the storm was indeed extremely strange, and her intuition was never wrong!

Feng Xiao hurriedly half hugged her and backed away when he heard this: "Is he crazy? What is Qiongqi? Did Jingchen want to..."

"Shh!" Mu Hanxing quickly interrupted him, but he must not let the disciples in the mountain gate know that Jingchen had once wanted to deliberately release the Qiongqi.

Feng Xiao almost let it slip in a hurry, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Why did you tell us?"

Feng Xiao has always had a pessimistic attitude towards human beings, and he doesn't really believe that human nature is good.

Lin Yifeng paused, looked at Mu Hanxing and decided to say sincerely: "No matter what, you saved my life in Xicheng, and I have severed my relationship with Cui Renen. He is no longer my master, and there is no need for me to protect him."

"Ah? Lin Yifeng, you were expelled from the mountain gate?" After hearing this, a group of disciples actually paid more attention to this matter.

Lin Yifeng frowned at the people under the altar and said, "I was blind before and recognized him as my master... He was the one who killed my junior brother! I didn't want to say it! But if he wants to use the power of Qiongqi, the entire Wenxin Sect must unite to depose the current leader! Do you understand!?"

Many people were confused and asked, "Senior Lin Yifeng, we are new disciples and don't know anything yet. What exactly is Qiongqi? Why did Sect Leader Cui kill your junior brother?"

These younger generations were completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter and began to chatter: "Why did they depose the headmaster? What on earth happened?"

"That's right, what is Qiongqi?"

"Maybe it's a flood monster. I've heard of it, but is that thing inside our mountain gate?"

"Where is he being held? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Lin Yifeng was anxious and shouted loudly: "I'm not kidding you! I really heard a vibration not far from the forbidden area just now. Don't ask these nonsense questions anymore, find a place to hide!"

"Godfather, please escort those outer disciples and apprentices with low cultivation to a safe place to hide. Leave this to me!" In a hurry, Mu Hanxing had to prioritize saving Tang Huanyun and others.

Tang Huanyun's eyes widened and he held her back: "No, how can I hide and let you worry about me?!"

The two were arguing and the people in the audience were still asking questions in confusion, when they heard a loud "boom" not far away, shocking and earth-shattering!

Everyone was horrified and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was the forbidden area not far away!

"W-what is that!?" one of the disciples shouted.

Then a gust of wind blew up, and the rocks near the forbidden area were instantly shattered into small pieces of pebbles flying far away, like a rain of sand and gravel, crackling! The sound of a beast stomping on the ground followed, and Qiongqi seemed to be slowly approaching the direction of the altar!

How did Cui Ren release Qiongqi?

Lin Yifeng's eyes were filled with panic. He looked at Mu Hanxing in the distance and said hurriedly, "He told me a long time ago that he heard news from outside the mountain from Huajing. The people of Huajing said that you are alive again and might come back to harm the world. He was afraid that you would return to the mountain for revenge, so he took me to the gate of the forbidden area and said that if he really couldn't beat you, he would have to go to the forbidden area to borrow the power of Qiongqi!"

It turned out to be the time when she went to Huajing to deal with the Wuliang Pagoda incident.

The last time the commotion was really too big, and many people in Huajing recognized her afterwards. I didn’t expect the news to spread here.
