The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 320: Discovery

A smile curved on Luo Yuebai’s lips.

She looked at the Golden Core demon cultivators before her.

“In fact, all the previous suggestions made by Chief Acolyte Su were my ideas.”

Her words hung in the air, leaving the Golden Core demon cultivators speechless. They opened their mouths to speak, but ultimately dared not utter a single word.

However, everyone was secretly complaining that if Luo Yuebai had made the announcement from the beginning, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.

They didn’t dare defy Luo Yuebai’s wishes, after all.

But after a moment, they understood. Luo Yuebai had deliberately let Su Jingzhen announce the matter to establish his authority.

Although it was frustrating, the current outcome wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

After all, Su Jingzhen did possess the strength and qualifications for this position.

They knew Su Jingzhen was probably around the same age as their sect master, yet his achievements seemed to surpass even Luo Yuebai. Such a figure would be a prodigy even in the Evil Moon Sect’s main sect.

Having someone like him lead them was nothing to complain about.

As the Golden Core demon cultivators pondered, Luo Yuebai spoke again, “Chief Acolyte Su has already informed you all about the new regulations for Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch.

Now, this sect will appoint the heads of each hall.”

Her gaze fell upon the Golden Core late-stage cultivators.

“This sect appoints Chen Shouli as the Head of the Punishment Hall, responsible for handling rewards and punishments within the Linjiang Branch!”

“Appoints Yun Shan as the Head of the Shadow Hall, responsible for establishing and improving the intelligence network of our Linjiang Branch!”

“Appoints Wang Linfeng as the Head of the Demonic Affairs Hall, responsible for the recruitment and deployment of all disciples in our Linjiang Branch.”

“…”

“Furthermore, the Linjiang Branch will soon establish a dedicated Pill Hall, which will be personally overseen by Chief Acolyte Su Jingzhen.

Of course, both me and Chief Acolyte Su Jingzhen have the authority to directly mobilize all the appointed halls.

When we have enough personnel in other professions within the Linjiang Branch, we will establish other halls as well.”

Luo Yuebai’s tone suddenly turned stern, “As for the various rules and regulations that Chief Acolyte Su Jingzhen has already explained, there’s no need for me to repeat them.

If any of you feel that something needs improvement, feel free to do so according to your own wishes.

If any of you wish to amend Su Jingzhen’s rules, this sect has only one requirement for you: be strict but not lenient.

That’s all. Dismissed.

In a month, you may all see the results.”

Demon cultivators were known for their efficiency. As long as these fellows were satisfied, Luo Yuebai knew that these regulations would bring about a dramatic transformation to the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch within a month.

She had already given this matter much thought when discussing it with Su Jingzhen.

Watching the Golden Core demon cultivators leave the council hall one by one, Luo Yuebai’s eyes held a glimmer of anticipation. She had always trusted Su Jingzhen, and now, seeing his display of strength, her faith in him grew even stronger.

To be honest, at the beginning, although Luo Yuebai also wanted to win against Zou Zeyu, she hadn’t been very confident.

But now, she had a feeling, a premonition that with just Su Jingzhen alone, she could truly achieve victory.

As the Golden Core demon cultivators departed, they didn’t forget to take Zhou Longyun and the other Golden Core late-stage cultivator, who had been severely injured by Su Jingzhen, with them.

The two had become the unfortunate victims of this incident.

“Good boy, you did well. It seems that even without openly declaring you as my disciple, you’ve already made a name for yourself within the Evil Moon Sect.

Today’s performance has made this master very pleased. A demon cultivator should have the demeanor of a demon cultivator.”

Shen Yifeng walked over and patted Su Jingzhen’s shoulder. He was growing increasingly fond of this disciple.

He then smiled, “Well, this old man has witnessed a turning point for our Linjiang Branch. As for how the Linjiang Branch should develop, this old man can only offer you support in terms of strength. But I will not interfere with your decisions in any way. The future is in your young hands now.”

With that, he didn’t linger and left directly, heading towards his own courtyard.

Luo Yuebai turned her gaze back to Su Jingzhen, “Alright, let’s get to work. Let’s see the results in a month.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “If there’s no progress in a month, I will just compensate you. Or before the year is up, I’ll go and personally take Zou Zeyu’s head.”

His tone was quite domineering as he spoke. Even though Zou Zeyu had already broken through to the Nascent Soul early stage, he wasn’t afraid at all.

A year was a long time. Even with the daily fixed points, Su Jingzhen could open several more Secret Repositories. By then, a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably be nothing more than a punch to him.

However, as soon as he said this, a smirk curled up on Luo Yuebai’s lips. “You’re dreaming.”

Su Jingzhen didn’t continue to tease Luo Yuebai on this topic. He suddenly became serious and said, “Since the competition in a year is based on the overall strength of the branch, perhaps we need to strengthen our cooperation with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Feng Qingya has returned to Linjiang City, and they are clearly optimistic about the future development of Linjiang City.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent someone of Feng Qingya’s status to take charge of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion here.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City will undoubtedly become a very important branch in the future. We need their resources.”

Su Jingzhen’s tone was earnest as he spoke. He was unaware of the hidden struggles between Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya, nor did he know that both women had been rejected at their respective doorsteps.

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, the smile on Luo Yuebai’s lips instantly vanished.

“Figure it out yourself,” she said dismissively before leaving without further conversation.

However, she didn’t press Su Jingzhen about what he had done at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion yesterday.

Seeing Luo Yuebai’s sudden change in attitude, Su Jingzhen’s face was filled with confusion.

“Yuebai…what’s wrong?”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, but didn’t dwell on it.

………

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Feng Qingya had already changed the access permissions to the second floor, making it accessible only to Nascent Soul cultivators and above.

Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage, unless she wanted to see them, wouldn’t be able to climb to the second floor.

As Linjiang City developed, the previously set Foundation Establishment stage limit proved too low.

It wasn’t until someone noticed that even Golden Core cultivators were queuing in the first-floor hall that they realized the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City was truly different from before.

“Miss, I’ve used the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s intelligence system to investigate, but I haven’t found out the purpose of Master Su needing the Awakening Array Disk and Awakening Stones.

However, I did discover that the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch is making large-scale constructions on Clear Wind Mountain. Many palace outlines have already been built.”

At that moment, Master Mu walked up behind Feng Qingya and said, “Miss, I have something to report.”

Feng Qingya raised an eyebrow, “The Evil Moon Sect may not have a large number of cultivators now, but as Linjiang City continues to develop, it is destined to grow stronger. It’s only natural for the Linjiang Branch to expand its influence.”

She wasn’t too concerned about the information Master Mu had reported.

Hearing this, Master Mu shook his head, “Miss, it’s not that simple. The eight Golden Core cultivators leading the construction on Clear Wind Mountain are not from the Evil Moon Sect. They are from the Tianning City Spiritual Medicine Sect.”

Feng Qingya’s expression changed abruptly. She turned to face Master Mu, looking at him seriously.

“Master Mu, are you serious? Are you sure it’s the Spiritual Medicine Sect?”

Master Mu nodded, “It is indeed the Spiritual Medicine Sect. We at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion have had dealings with them before. Their Golden Core cultivators are not numerous, and I wouldn’t mistake them.”

Feng Qingya’s expression grew grave.

“Good, Evil Moon Sect, good Luo Yuebai, you’ve actually taken over the Spiritual Medicine Sect? But…how is this possible?”

She muttered to herself, still unable to believe it.

She knew the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s unique position in the Qingzhou region.

She also knew that unless it was taken over by the Evil Moon Sect, the Spiritual Medicine Sect would never relocate its headquarters to Linjiang City.

Looking at Master Mu again, she said, “Master Mu, send someone to Tianning City immediately. I need to confirm this.”

“Yes!”

Master Mu nodded.

Feng Qingya then added, “Also, expedite the matter of the Awakening Array Disk and Awakening Stones. I need them within three days!”
