An Zhiqi was the first to react, she hurriedly said to Mu Xin, “Mu Xin, you don’t need to worry, you should go back first and wait for the news, the Ting Ting Palace Master will definitely do her best to help you.”
Seeing Mu Xin being persuaded to leave by An Zhiqi, Tingting asked suspiciously, “Sister Qiqi, do you have something to say to me?”
An Zhiqi no longer had the shock in her eyes from earlier, she even grabbed Tingting’s hand with some surprise and said, ‘Tingting, this is an opportunity, something must have happened with the shattering of the Palace Master’s soul token, so you should hurry up and convene a meeting to grasp the great power of the Water God Palace in your hands through this matter. I think as for how to say it, you shouldn’t need me to teach you to come, go quickly, the more urgent this matter is, the better.”
“Ah ……” Ting Ting froze and subconsciously asked, “Even if something happened to the palace master, and the grand elder, just now did not ask the pastoral heart …… ”
An Zhiqi hurriedly said, “I purposely did not ask, you just say you are too concerned about the palace master, did not have the heart to ask about the grand elder, the palace master out of the matter, the grand elder will certainly not be good enough, later you ask out at the elders meeting, so that the effect is better.” . .
After saying that An Zhiqi once again added a sentence and said, “In fact, I still have a worry that I didn’t tell you, is that the palace master already has the intention to let you go down, once you are not the young palace master anymore. You will become the plaything of the Palace Master’s two wasteful sons, and I will not be any better. So, you must seize this opportunity. That man who killed the Palace Master is the same as saving our lives, and that’s a really good man.”
“Good …….” Tingting didn’t hesitate half a second this time and nodded firmly. She completely understood what Sister Qiqi meant, only when she grasped the power first would she be safe and have a large amount of cultivation resources. With a large amount of cultivation resources, only then could she advance quickly and thus secure her power.
……
The most luxurious hall of the Water God Palace was the same as last time, almost all the elders and deacons were present. The only difference from last time was that the original palace master was no longer in his seat, and in his place was the young girl who used to sit next to the palace master.
The young girl who was called Mu Xin before was kneeling in the middle of the great hall, shivering all over.
There was silence inside the great hall. Even the few elders were all frowning. No one spoke.
Ting Ting was a little nervous, but thinking about what she had discussed with Sister Qiqi earlier, she forcibly discarded her inner tension to the side. Trying her best to keep her tone low, she said, “Our Water God Palace has recently had one thing after another, following the fall of the Second Young Master in Nan’an Continent, our Palace Master has also fallen in Nan’an Continent. I am very sad in my heart and am completely at a loss for ideas, so I would like to ask the elders for their advice. What should my Water God Palace do?”
This was the statement she had discussed with Qiqi, she must lower her posture in front of these elders now, she must let the elders know that the Water God Palace now only had her continuing to sit in the position of Palace Master for them to get the most benefit. And they must not let the elders feel their power yù, otherwise the loss will not be worth the gain.
An elder of the ninth level of Transformation Truth nodded. He was somewhat satisfied with Ting Ting’s gesture. He was about to complete his Transformation True and did not have any yùdesire for power at all; what he needed was respect and cultivation resources.
After seeing this situation, Liu Xi Sheng, a sixth level Transformation True Elder who had previously known that Long Yue had gone to Nan’an Continent, stepped forward and asked Mu Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, “Is there any news from Grand Elder Xing Xing Wen?”
Mu Xin replied in a trembling voice, “After I saw the Palace Master’s soul token shatter, I was at a loss for words, and only afterwards did I see that although the Grand Elder’s soul token had not shattered, it had turned pure white sè.”
“Ascended ……” The moment the few Hua Zhen elders heard that the soul card had turned white sè. they immediately knew that the Grand Elder had ascended. They looked at each other. Disbelief showed in their eyes, it was logical to say that the Grand Elder’s soul token shattered. It would only be normal for the Palace Master to have ascended. But the truth was just the opposite, what was going on here?
After answering, Mu Xin was nervous in her heart. But no one cared about such an insignificant little person like her, and no one suggested that she be buried with her.
Seeing this, Ting Ting waved her hand at Mu Xin and said, “Go back first, continue to guard the soul token, and report anything to the elders or to me at the first opportunity.”
“Yes.” She couldn’t help but be excited because she hadn’t heard the words of the palace master and the elders who wanted her to be buried with them. What the young palace master meant by those last words was that she could continue to guard the soul token and not worry about anything else.
A few of the deacons had also heard what Ting Ting meant, and it didn’t make sense that there was no order for this servant girl who was guarding the soul tablet to accompany the palace master in his burial. Not long ago, the palace master had explained that when the soul token that was guarding it shattered, the guardian was to be buried with it, this was a rule of the Water God Palace, so why not follow the rules?
Although it was not yet the turn of some deacons to speak here, this kind of rule-breaking was still something that a deacon at the level of Cultivation of the Cultivation of the Tripod could not bear. He walked out and first clasped his fist and saluted the elders before he casually saluted Ting Ting. Apparently this action of his meant that the young palace master was to be ranked below the several elders.
Seeing this scene, Tingting was a little nervous in her heart, knowing that she had to establish her authority at this time in order to be sure of her position. Unfortunately, she didn’t have half the capital to do so.
The deacon finished his salute and said, “Young Palace Master, last time the Palace Master had already said that the rules of my Water God Palace could not be broken. But it’s only been a few days, and the rules of my Water God Palace have been broken? The palace master’s soul token shattered, and the young palace master actually did not allow this maid who was guarding the soul token to be buried with her, Yan Miao Fei does not understand, please enlighten the young palace master.”
Last time, the Palace Master said that if Daiyun made such a mistake again, Daiyun himself would be buried with him. Although this deacon did not say it, everyone could hear it.
When Mu Xin, who was standing on the side and had not yet retreated, heard these words, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees again.
When Ting Ting saw all the people looking at her, she knew she had to make a statement, otherwise she would be dead soon, not to mention later. Even if there were no elders to support her, she still had to show her imposing presence, otherwise what qualifications would she have for others to support her?
Thinking of this Ting Ting sneered and said, “Deacon Yan, let me ask you, when the Palace Master ascends or unfortunately falls, what are the rules of my Water God Palace? Does it mean that the Palace Master is no longer wanted?”
Yan Miao Fei was startled in his heart as it occurred to him that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now. But now that several elders were on the sidelines, he simply did not dare not answer Ting Ting’s words. Without half a moment’s hesitation, he replied, “Of course not, if the Palace Master ascends or if something happens to him, the position of Palace Master will immediately be taken by the Young Palace Master. If there is no Young Palace Master, the Palace Master will be jointly elected by several Elders.”
Ting Ting said sadly, “The last Palace Master was my Master, and I was very hurt in my heart when she unfortunately fell ……”
Just after she said this half sentence, her words suddenly turned and she slapped the table and even stood up and pointed at Deacon Yan who had just spoken and bellowed angrily, “My Water God Palace has strict rules, but how do you do that? According to the rules of my Water God Palace, I am already the Palace Master, and you keep saying that you are the Young Palace Master. Could it be that you have more power than the few elders? Are you going to take away my position as Palace Master?”
In his heart, Yan Miao Fei was even more alarmed, he could not have imagined that the always obsequious Young Palace Master would change so much after the death of the Palace Master. He stole a glance at the rest of the deacons and several elders around him, and found that none of them had come forward to speak, all of them looking as if they were not concerned about anything.
Although he had some regrets in his heart, Yan Miao Fei still said stiffly, “Palace Master, it was my slip of the tongue just now. But the rules of my Water God Palace ……”
Seeing that she had the upper hand in the first round, Ting Ting even snorted coldly and interrupted Yan Miao Fei’s words, “Who set the rules of the Water God Palace?”
“Of course it is the former Palace Master Lord ……” After finishing his sentence, Yan Miao Fei felt that there seemed to be some loopholes in the words.
Ting Ting simply ignored Yan Miao Fei and said ruefully, “My Water God Palace has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and now it is suffering from another ordeal. If we were to kill our own people again over such things, wouldn’t that be a pain in the neck for those who love and hate?
At this moment a Hua Zhen elder stood out with a hmph and said, “What the Palace Master said is correct, rather it is Yan Miao Fei who has violated the law below and needs to be chastised by the Palace Master.”
When Ting Ting saw that the elder who spoke was Elder Peng, Qiqi’s master, she was immediately overjoyed in her heart, it was still Qiqi’s master who was good and helped her at a crucial moment. If her words had just been spoken and no elder had responded, that would have been a punch in the gut, and even less than half convincing.
When Yan Miao Fei heard Elder Hua Zhen stand up for Ting Ting, he immediately knew he had made a big mistake and hurriedly bowed and said, “It was my mistake, please also punish the Palace Master ……”
A cold voice immediately rang out and said, “Since you dare to offend the Palace Master here, then don’t chastise him either.”
Just as this voice finished speaking, a large true essence hand reached over. Deacon Yan watched in shock and horror as the large true essence hand squeezed him and turned him into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye.
What amazed Ting Ting and the rest of the deacons was that the elder who had struck out to kill Yan Miao Fei was not Elder Weir, the master of the palace, nor was it Elder Peng, but Elder Liu Xi Sheng.
Ting Ting quickly knew that this was a sign that Liu Xisheng wanted to help her, and she hurriedly said, “Right now, my Water God Palace is experiencing great difficulties, but fortunately there are still a few elders around. But the other party was able to make our Palace Master fall, so our rash action just gives them an opportunity to take advantage of it. In order to help the Palace Master take revenge, I suggest that the Water God Palace once again revert to its previous rules and temporarily seal the Palace for fifty years while the elders work hard to improve their cultivation. After fifty years, when we have reached a certain level of strength, we are determined to take revenge for the Palace Master.”
Sealing the palace for fifty years was something she and An Zhiqi had secretly discussed, with these fifty years, it was time for them to grow up. At least as long as their cultivation level rose, then they wouldn’t be afraid of anything.
Several deacons looked at each other, the palace was closed for fifty years, what about the two young masters who had gone out? The palace master’s meaning was obvious, that was to not allow the two young masters who had gone out to return. Moreover, what about waiting fifty years to take revenge, this is a joke. They could not have imagined that the young palace master would be so decisive when he took the throne, even if he did not take the throne.
