Chapter 352: New Sect Master
ALL NOVELS'' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master''s Immortal Journey
The Great Elder of the Earthfire Sect is not only the Sect''s strongest cultivator, but also has an extremely high status within the sect. With the support of the Great Elder, Shangguan Longyan sessfully became the Sect Master, and quickly took a firm hold of the position.
Liang Feng was dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do.
Liang Feng looked down on Shangguan Longyan. He felt that Shangguan Longyan was too weak, and was not suitable to be the Sect Master of a sect like the Earthfire Sect.
It was the nature of cultivators of the Earthfire Sect to be brave, diligent, and fearless.
Within the Earthfire Sect, Liang Feng and his supporters were always the most vocal opponents. They intentionally contradicted Shangguan Longyan on many issues.
The Great Elder of the Earthfire Sect, for whatever reason, allowed this situation to develop without interfering.
After the Great Elder became the Sect Master, his strength and status within the sect reached their peak.
Shangguan Longyan took advantage of the Great Elder''s prestige to strengthen his own power.
Liang Feng and his supporters were unable to resist, and were kicked out of the sect''s upper echelons and sent far away.
The Great Elder had been gone for a long time, and Shangguan Longyan had been assassinated in the Firewell Market. Liang Feng took the opportunity to return to the sect''s core, and with the secret support of the Fire Cloud Sect, became the new Sect Master of the Earthfire Sect.
After Liang Feng took over as Sect Master of the Earthfire Sect, he abandoned the cautious and prudent style of Shangguan Longyan, and became more arrogant and domineering.
Under the pretext of hunting down the assassin who killed Shangguan Longyan, Liang Feng caused a lot of trouble in the Firewell Market and its surroundings, causing a lot of chaos.
If it hadn''t been for the Flying Swan Sect sending an envoy to chastise him, who knows what kind of trouble the Earthfire Sect would have caused.
Liang Feng''s seemingly reckless and brainless style of doing things was very much to the taste of the elders in the sect, and his support within the sect increased greatly.
Perhaps encouraged by something, Liang Feng became even more aggressive towards outsiders.
The Land Walk Sect had always been at odds with the Earthfire Sect, and there had been many conflicts between the two sects.
After Liang Feng became the Sect Master of the Earthfire Sect, he changed Shangguan Longyan''s policy of appeasement and instead took the initiative to attack and provoke others.
For a time, there were constant conflicts and skirmishes on the border between the Earthfire Sect and the Land Walk Sect. The cultivators of the two sects had already engaged in several small-scale fights, and some casualties had urred.
The Land Walk Sect did not back down, and instead strengthened their forces on the border. They also sent people to contact the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect, hoping that the three sects could work together to suppress the Earthfire Sect.
After Liang Feng took over as Sect Master of the Earthfire Sect, his attitude towards the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect was not friendly.
The merchant caravans sent by the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect to the Firewell Market were often deliberately harassed by the Earthfire Sect.
If it hadn''t been for the Flying Swan Sect''s attitude, and the fact that they didn''t want the business environment in the Firewell Market to be affected too much, the Earthfire Sect would probably have banned the merchant caravans of the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect from entering the Firewell Market.
It''s worth mentioning that the Taiyi Sect has carefullyid out awork of routes throughout the surrounding area, and their flying boats can already travel to the more distant Flying Swan City, but they have never been able to enter the Firewell Market, which is closer to them.
Due to the various exclusionary measures of the Earthfire Sect, the merchant caravans of the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect could only usend transportation, and had to go through a lot of trouble to enter the Firewell Market.
Of course, the Taiyi Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect would not ignore the Earthfire Sect''s unfriendly actions.
After the Land Walk Sect''s envoy came to them, the three sects did not formally form an alliance, but they did agree to work together to suppress the Earthfire Sect.The three sects did not join forces to attack Earthfire Sect for the same reason, which was their concern about Flying Swan Sect''s attitude. Land Walk Sect and Earthfire Sect were in constant conflict at their border, but they never had a full-scale war.
Small conflicts between cultivation sects aremon, and the death of a few cultivators is a daily urrence. As long as the two sides did not engage in a full-scale war, Flying Swan Sect would not intervene.
As time went by, the state of affairs between Earthfire Sect and Land Walk Sect became normal.
On this day, in an Earthfire Sect secret room, the new Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, Liang Feng,
was having a private conversation with two cultivators. The two cultivators were brothers, who called themselves Liu Sen and Liu Lin. Whether or not these were their real names was unknown.
After Liang Feng took over as Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, he recruited these two cultivators into the sect and made them guest elders of Earthfire Sect.
ording to Liang Feng''s exnation to his fellow disciples, the Liu brothers were originally cultivators from Great Wind City, but because they had offended the local cultivation families, they could no longer stay in Great Wind City. They had no choice but to leave their hometown and make a living in the Endless Sea of Sand.
Liang Feng and the Liu brothers hit it off right away, and they became close friends, sharing many hardships together.
The Liu brothers joined Earthfire Sect, which strengthened the sect''s strength, and they also found a ce to stay.
The two brothers were both at thete Foundation Building stage of cultivation. After joining the sect, they quickly became Liang Feng''s loyal supporters, helping him to quickly take control of the entire Earthfire Sect.
"Sect Master, you must keep your promise." Liu Sen said.
In private, when there was no one else around, the two brothers were not very respectful to Liang Feng, the Sect Master. They had a condescending air about them.
Liang Feng nced at Liu Sen unhappily, but did not respond to him.
"Sect Master, the benefits from Fire Cloud Sect are not easy to get. If you take the benefits and do not do anything, that is absolutely impossible." Liu Lin said in a sinister voice.
"Who said that I took the benefits and did not do anything? I will naturally do what I promised." Liang Feng hurriedly defended himself.
He did not want to give Fire Cloud Sect that impression.
When Shangguan Longyan was still the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, Great Elder Lie Yan discovered that he had a faint sense of resistance to Fire Cloud Sect.
So, Great Elder Lie Yan handed over some of the matters rted to Fire Cloud Sect to Liang Feng to handle.
Over time, Liang Feng and Fire Cloud Sect became familiar with each other.
This time, after Shangguan Longyan was assassinated, Liang Feng was able to sessfully seed as Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, thanks to the support of Fire Cloud Sect.
Of course, the identities of the Liu brothers were not as simple as they imed to be, just loose cultivators from Great Wind City. Their other identity was that they were the military inspectors sent by Fire Cloud Sect to Earthfire Sect.
These two brothers were the secret forces cultivated by Fire Cloud Sect, and even most people in Fire Cloud Sect did not know about them.
As the secret pawns of the upper echelons of Fire Cloud Sect, they were sent to a Foundation Building small sect like Earthfire Sect, so they naturally had a heavy responsibility.
Their mission was to ensure that Earthfire Sect always stood on the side of Fire Cloud Sect and could provide various assistance to Fire Cloud Sect''s invasion of the Endless Sea of Sand.
The Great Elder Lie Yan of Earthfire Sect had been missing for a long time, and Fire Cloud Sect was getting anxious.
ording to their original agreement, the time for the n to beunched was approaching. Fire Cloud Sect''s n still required the participation of Great Elder Lie Yan.
The Liu brothers'' most urgent task now was to find out where Great Elder Lie Yan was.
