Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Isn’t This Unfortunate?—1

“One-Day Sect Leader Experiential Tour” voucher for the Seek Dao Sect, the most expensive prize on the exchange list. So far, no disciple has had enough contribution points to redeem this.

Five senior brothers raised funds together for the redemption, and even had a fight over who would be the sect leader during their discussion. After being injured and hospitalized on Elixir Cauldron Peak and feeling incredibly embarrassed, they all left for long term missions outside the sect and have not returned since.

Of course, a disciple such as Dai Bufan could redeem the voucher given his points, but due to his special status as the manager of the Task Hall on behalf of the Grand Elder, he is not allowed to redeem it.

“Fairy, perhaps you might want to consider a different prize?” advised Lu Yang.

Fairy Eternity frowned at him: “What, do you think I’m unworthy of being the Sect Leader when that Daoist Buyu can?”

“Let me tell you, back in the ancient times, I was a force to be reckoned with, and countless tribes looked up to me as their faith. Managing a mere Seek Dao Sect shouldn’t be challenging for me.”

“No, what I meant is currently, our Eldest Senior Sister is managing the Seek Dao Sect. If you are considering being the Sect Leader for three days, you would need to get her consent.”

“Can I refuse now? No, what I meant was, why should I be afraid of a little girl?” Fairy Eternity instinctively chickened out for a moment but then regained her confidence due to her immortal pride.

Fairy Eternity, controlling Lu Yang’s body, turned back towards Sky Gate Mountain.

Upon reaching Sky Gate Mountain, Lu Yang kindly reminded her, “Eldest Senior Sister is in the other direction. This way leads back to my abode.”

Fairy Eternity frowned, “I can’t believe you’re her junior brother. You’re not considerate at all. The young lady works hard all day, it’s late now, we shouldn’t disturb her. We’ll talk tomorrow!”

Lu Yang thought to himself that the Eldest Senior Sister transcends the three realms and is unaffected by the Five Elements; does she even have the concept of day and night?

“Mis…. Eldest Senior Sister, I wish to be Sect Leader for three days, would you permit it?” Fairy Eternity submitted the application she had been working on all night long.

Yun Zhi was busy handling sect affairs and exuded an aura of busy alertness. From one look, she could tell that Fairy Eternity was temporarily borrowing Lu Yang’s body.

“Senior, you are one of the Five Immortals of the Ancients and hold the highest seniority in the Cultivation World. It would be unseemly for you to call me Eldest Senior Sister; Yun Zhi would suffice,” she calmly replied.

After carefully observing and confirming that Yun Zhi was not saying this out of anger, Fairy Eternity spoke, “Yun Zhi, I wish to be Sect Leader for three days. I’ve used up all my contribution points to redeem this voucher. The Seek Dao Sect prides itself on its integrity. You should not…”

“You may,” interrupted Yun Zhi.

“Really?” Fairy Eternity had planned to force Yun Zhi’s hand with the rules, but it seemed unnecessary.

“Yes, of course. The rules state so, and naturally, I will uphold them. Otherwise, how can I maintain my credibility? When do you wish to be the Sect Leader?”

“Starting from tomorrow then.”

“Alright,” Yun Zhi replied calmly as always. However, Lu Yang noticed a slight smirk on Eldest Senior Sister’s face.

Something seems off!

Yun Zhi handed over the task she was handling to Fairy Eternity, “Well then, senior, I’ll have to trouble you with the welcoming arrangements for the Five Elements Sect.”

The Five Elements Sect is one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

“Fiv…Five Elements Sect?”

Fairy Eternity looked down at the paper Yun Zhi had given her. It was an invitation from the Five Elements Sect, stating that they would visit the Seek Dao Sect for a personnel exchange in three days. The visiting personnel list was attached.

Underneath was another piece of paper with a hospitality plan Yun Zhi had started writing, but only the title had been penned.

Lu Yang knew about the tradition of mutual visits between the Five Great Immortal Sects. Although officially termed as a ‘visit’, it was essentially a competition between disciples to see who were more superior. While the rewards were secondary, the primary intention was to preserve the prestige of the victorious sect.

The reason Yun Zhi rescued Lu Yang from Daoist Buyu was also to give Lu Yang, a rising star, the opportunity to compete with the excellent disciples of the Five Elements Sect and broaden his horizons.

Yellow Bean was dumbfounded. She had thought that being the Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect, which usually didn’t deal with significant affairs, for three days would merely allow her to have some fun. She had not expected a visit from a brother sect.

Yellow Bean felt like backing out; she had never handled such a grand event. In the ancient times, the most she had encountered was gathering the other four immortals for some fun and frolic.

However, an immortal has their pride, and they must stick to their words!

Being the Sect Leader is not a big deal. Who can’t do that?

“If anything goes wrong, it’s Lu Yang who will lose face!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Fairy you’ve spoken your thoughts aloud!” Lu Yang snapped.

Immediately after, Lu Yang thought of another problem: “Eldest Senior Sister, if the Fairy’s existence needs to be kept a secret, how do we explain to the outside world why I am the Sect Leader, where did all these contribution points come from?”

“Why wouldn’t they? You found our master who has been missing for ten years, that’s a great achievement.”

The tone of Yun Zhi was the same as always, Lu Yang wasn’t sure if this was Eldest Senior Sister’s sincere words or if she was being sarcastic.

In any case, Fairy Eternity really became the Acting Sect Leader, starting from tomorrow, for a duration of three days, coinciding with the arrival of the Five Elements Sect on the third day.

Fairy Eternity returned her body to Lu Yang, who felt a warm sensation around his waist.

What’s happening?

It was the Rudder Master’s token, the token flashed three times, signifying that the contact person, Tang Yunsheng was looking for him.

The meeting spot was already decided when they infiltrated Seek Dao Sect.

“Oh, can I meet my believers now?” Fairy Eternity happily said.

Lu Yang informed the Eldest Senior Sister about it, and her response was simple: “Go and meet, I’ll be watching.”

Lu Yang felt relieved.

At the entrance of the Seek Dao Sect, he encountered Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu. It seems that Tang Yunsheng called all three of them.

“Should we head straight there?” Meng Jingzhou asked, wanting to know Lu Yang’s thoughts on this matter.

Lu Yang held his fists up and shook them over his head: “The Eldest Senior Sister is nearby.”

“Then there’s no problem.”

There are many towns near Seek Dao Sect, and Tang Yunsheng chose one of them as the meeting point.

Tang Yunsheng, dressed in a black robe, appeared mysterious, yet remarkably conspicuous in the small town, as though he feared others wouldn’t realize he wanted to hide his identity.

A few passersby even considered reporting him to the Seek Dao Sect, he was too suspicious.

Tang Yunsheng looked satisfactorily at the trio: “Your names are on the Seek Dao Sect’s list of invited businesses, saying you three opened a barbecue shop in the sect. You finally infiltrated the Seek Dao Sect, well done!”

No need to ask, this was a fake list arranged by Dai Bufan.

“Finally, there’s a mole from my Eternity Sect in Seek Dao Sect!” Tang Yunsheng was quite moved, as if he had accomplished a lifelong wish.

“Even the Master didn’t expect things to progress so smoothly!”

Then Tang Yunsheng, sighing, said, “It’s just a pity that things in the other three Immortal Sects aren’t so good.”

“What’s wrong with the other three Immortal Sects?” Lu Yang, acting as the Eternity Sect Master, asked.

“I don’t know how it happened, those three sects became vigilant and caught all my Eternity Sect spies. They used the name of Immortal Eternity, which was very malicious and caught us off guard! The other three demonic sects didn’t fare so well either, with many of their spies missing.”

“What should we do?” Lu Yang was somewhat anxious, with so many people from the Eternity Sect being captured, he, as the master, was also responsible.

“It’s okay, one always needs to look forward, a temporary failure means nothing.”

Tang Yunsheng cheered up: “A spy from Five Elements Sect sent a last message saying that the sect is planning to visit Seek Dao Sect in three days, this presents an opportunity for us!”

“The master said he sensed that Immortal Eternity is awakening. The rise of our Eternity Sect is at hand, we can take this opportunity, make some trouble in this exchange competition, and let the Five Great Immortal Sects know we’re not easy to bully!”

“With you three acting as insiders, this plan is sure to work!”

Lu Yang and the other two nodded.

In the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity nodded.

The Eldest Senior Sister, lurking in the shadows, also nodded.
