Chapter 989: Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard Chapter 989: Chapter 543 The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard “It won’t be easy to save his life, I’m afraid.”
As Narcissus Superior spoke, she also brought out Gongsun Jielu, who had been sealed by Master Huakai within the Beiming Domain.
“Master Yu has shown me kindness, and after all, he is a senior teacher on the roster of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I must do my best.”
If it were anyone else, given Yu Tianguang’s confirmed status as a host body for the Divine Control Pavilion Master’s God Seed, they’d surely be quick to disassociate themselves and prove their innocence.
But Chen Mobai had no such concerns, for he had slain Master Huakai.
This was sufficient to prove his loyalty to the Immortal Sect.
And it was for this reason that he spoke with a clear conscience.
“You’re a loyal and righteous young fellow. Then, I shall give you a hand.”
With each look at Chen Mobai, Narcissus Superior grew more fond of him, feeling that his values and principles perfectly aligned with hers. Moreover, his cultivation level wasn’t weak, and he might very well reach her own rank in the future. Thinking of her own endeavors, she couldn’t help but owe another favor to Chen Mobai.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
[Hello!]
After the call connected and, since Narcissus Superior had turned on the speakerphone, Chen Mobai heard a familiar voice.
It was the principal of their Dance Tool Dao Academy, Master Chengxuan.
Narcissus Superior: [The matter here is settled, Shi Qing was slain by your academy’s youngster, but Yu Tianguang is also a host for the Divine Control Pavilion Master. In consideration of your face, I left him a breath of life.]
Master Chengxuan remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing whether it was better for Yu Tianguang to be dead or alive. After a long while, he simply said two words: [Thank you.]
Narcissus Superior: [Gongsun was deceived by Master Huakai. To avoid any hidden dangers, I plan to take her to see Sanjue. Should I take Yu Tianguang as well? His essence, Qi, and spirit have been drained by the Divine Control Pavilion Master and he likely won’t survive more than half a year without prompt treatment.]
Master Chengxuan: [Then I will have to trouble you with this matter, and I’ll give Sanjue a heads-up in advance.]
After a brief conversation, the two of them had settled the matter.
The task of saving Yu Tianguang was essentially handled by Master Chengxuan, thereby extricating Chen Mobai from the situation.
Chen Mobai was quite pleased with this outcome.
After all, if he were to run for the position of one of The Three Great Halls’ Hall Masters in the future, the issue of Yu Tianguang could potentially become a problem.
“Many thanks to you, Superior.”
Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude to Narcissus Superior with a bow.
“Leave this place to you. I must be on my way.”
After applying a seal to the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Narcissus Superior left with the sealed Gongsun Jielu and Yu Tianguang.
Although Chen Mobai was a member of the Kaiyuan Hall committee, he only nominally had control over the Immortal Sect branches in Yu Wood City. Plus, he had no experience dealing with the aftermath of events within the Immortal Sect and was completely clueless.
So in the end, it was Lan Haitian who took up the task without complaint.
Since Shi Qing was a member of the Ascension Sect, the personnel within Danxia City’s Immortal Sect system were no longer trusted. After Lan Haitian received authorization from Narcissus Superior, he immediately called upon the Department of Law Enforcement from Wangwu Cave Heaven.
Having presided over the Cinnabarite Institute for over two hundred years, the number of Immortal Sect Disciples who graduated under Shi Qing were countless, and they were nearly ubiquitous across every department of Danxia City. Many even reached out to nearby Blessed Earth Cities and even within certain Cave Heavens.
For instance, Wu Shangru, the former legal representative of the Flying Talisman Factory, who had completed his Foundation Establishment at Cinnabarite Institute before striving and succeeding in moving his household registration into Huayang Cave Heaven.
However, once Shi Qing was exposed, Wu Shangru immediately received a notice from the Immortal Sect instructing him to report to Huayang Cave Heaven’s local Department of Law Enforcement to assist in the investigation.
Besides him, every student who graduated during Shi Qing’s tenure as principal of Cinnabarite Institute was added to the Immortal Sect’s watchlist.
For the foreseeable future, this group would be under close scrutiny by the various departments of the Immortal Sect.
All these troublesome tasks were single-handedly managed by Lan Haitian.
Chen Mobai, meanwhile, was asked to oversee the Danxia Mountain Range during this time, guarding the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.
This Spirit Plant was temporarily sealed by Narcissus Superior, capable only of absorbing the most basic Spiritual Energy to survive, in order to prevent any outburst due to Master Huakai’s demise.
However, this seal could not last for very long. Given the immense Spiritual Power contained within the fourth grade superior Azure Jadeite Sycamore, which was even greater than Narcissus Superior’s, and the fact that it was closely related to Danxia City’s Fire Vein, a comprehensive sealing plan would require the concerted effort of Immortal Sect’s Forestry Bureau, Land, Formation, and Celestial Phenomenon departments.
Moreover, at minimum, it required the oversight of a proficient Nascent Soul Superior in formations and Spirit Plants.
Yet it seemed that none of the eligible Nascent Soul Superiors were eager to wade into these troubled waters.
So while the upper echelons of The Three Great Halls of the Immortal Sect were still in meetings, Lan Haitian asked Chen Mobai to stand guard until a decision was reached.
Given Chen Mobai’s aversion to getting involved, he naturally wasn’t too happy about it.
But, as he had already become involved, and considering that if Lan Haitian were to request from the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect a Golden Core Master to guard the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, the Kaiyuan Hall committee would likely give a direct order for the nearest him to undertake the task.
After the battle, Chen Mobai had come to see Lan Haitian as someone he could trust with his life, who had also mentioned that if he was unwilling, he could refuse on the grounds of injury from the encounter with Master Huakai.
But Danxia City was Chen Mobai’s hometown, and at such a turbulent time, he felt it was his duty to step forward and take responsibility.
