28. Begging the master for severe punishment! (4500 words, 2 in 1)_2

"If at the election conference, you are attacked by many, even if the madam gives a glance, he would not dare to assist you."

"Indeed, that's true..."

Ye Hongyi knew that her grandfather was speaking the truth. She sighed lightly and said, "Then... what about the Fierce Tiger Taoist of Raksasa Palace, grandpa, what do you think?"

"Speaking of power alone, the Raksasa Palace he belongs to is the most prosperous! It commands tens of thousands of elite disciples from the inner sect, and the vassals under its command are innumerable. In recent years, it has been expanding its territory, continually broadening its influence!"

"More importantly, every year the Raksasa Palace contributes more spirit stones and resources to the main altar than the other three halls combined, and the elders of the main altar all appreciate him!"

"Hongyi, what you say is correct."

Ye Taiyan squinted his eyes and said, "Then tell grandpa, this Fierce Tiger Taoist, being so diligent in serving the sect and respecting the elders, what is he after?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongyi's body shook, and she suddenly came to her senses, "This person is ambitious!"

"Hongyi, remember."

Ye Taiyan said, "The expansion and development of the sect rely on ambitious people like the Fierce Tiger Taoist; otherwise, it would become stagnant. But the premise of relying on him is—"

"You have already firmly grasped the reins of power."

"Hongyi, understood!"

Ye Hongyi nodded heavily and said, "If that's the case, then only that mysterious Sacred Maiden from Yin Gui Palace remains?"

"Although the Yin Gui Palace has always acted low-key and its power is far less than Raksasa Palace, the Flower Palace Master has reached the mid-Divine Transformation stage, her strength unfathomable. She once had a major fight with the Fierce Ghost Taoist over a quarrel and easily gained the upper hand."

"That's not it."

Ye Taiyan shook his head and said, "The Flower Palace Master is indeed an extraordinary woman. In the past, when your father was the Sect Master, he relied on her to manage internal affairs and revise the sect's rules, eliminating millennia-old corruption in one fell swoop. Only then did we have today's strong Cangming Sect."

"But when it comes to the election of the Sect Master, she cannot help you, or rather, she won't help you."

"Why?" Ye Hongyi couldn't help but ask.

"The specifics even grandpa can't say for sure..."

Ye Taiyan's eyes deepened, "But you must believe in the discernment honed over thousands of years of my life. I always feel... the Flower Palace Master had other motives when she joined Cangming Sect back then."

"Ah."

Ye Hongyi sighed lightly, her expression slightly dejected, "So according to grandpa, Hongyi must rely on herself?"

"Child, among the four palace masters, why did you leave out one?"

Ye Taiyan asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Ah?"

Ye Hongyi's delicate body shivered, then she suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes widened, "Grandpa, you mean Bai... Bail Qingling of Youluo Palace? How would this Demon head... help me?!"

At this moment, the young girl's heart was already in turmoil!

She could envision any senior sect member standing behind her.

Except for this person!

This is the super Big Demon Head who enslaved and humiliated Sister Ling Yin for ten years, heartless and shameless!

More importantly, this guy is selfish, never participates in any sect affairs, and only cares about his great pursuit of immortality!

It is said that this person only accepted her father's solicitation back then for the sect's cultivation resources and the estate cave grounds!

"Correct."

Ye Taiyan became somewhat serious, "During such turbulent times, only this young Qingling Demon Sovereign can escort you and stabilize the situation!"

"But..."

Ye Hongyi gritted her teeth and said, "I have never interacted with Bail Qingling in the past, how could he..."

"Child, you will soon have interaction."

Ye Taiyan looked at his beloved granddaughter, growing like a lotus, with cherishing eyes, "According to your father's last wish, you should become Taoist companions with Bail Qingling, husband and wife joining hands, to strengthen our sect together!"

"What!?"

Ye Hongyi felt as if struck by lightning, stepping back and almost falling to the ground!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

This Demon head is Sister Ling Yin's master!

If I marry him, what should Ling Yin call me!?

Master... Mistress?

Oh heavens!

"Grandpa! Please forgive your unfilial granddaughter! I absolutely cannot marry Bail Qingling!"

"Hongyi... Hongyi is only seventeen this year! I refuse to marry that old and ugly man! Wooo..."

Suddenly, the young leader of Black Moon Hall, disregarding her image, sat on the ground and broke into tears!

.....

.....

Youluo Palace, back mountain forbidden area, Blood Kitchen.

A young girl with a delicate immortal bun, dressed in a light pink dress with floral patterns, charming and lovely, was pacing back and forth, seemingly with some worries.

"Should I tell the master?"

"The master said to go into seclusion for a month until the Sect Master election conference, if I disturb him, he might be unhappy..."

"But today, something unusual is happening in the sect, perhaps something big is about to occur! We must prepare in advance in Youluo Palace."

Torn with indecision, Cen Xing'er simply squatted down, preparing to engage in divination to determine with the will of heaven!

However, just at this moment.

A cold voice came from within the Blood Kitchen:

"Xing'er, what do you seek with this sovereign?"

"Reporting to the master—"

Cen Xing'er braced herself and decided to speak, "Today, when Xing'er was sending Sister Ling Yin back to the main altar, I saw..."

"Saw what?" asked the voice from the Blood Kitchen.

"Xing'er saw many demonic unaffiliated cultivators from top Eastern domain families flying towards Raksasa Palace! They covered the sky, numbering in thousands!"

"Sister Ling Yin told me these people are all loyal followers of the Fierce Tiger Taoist of Raksasa Palace, possibly here for the upcoming Sect Master election!"

"Not only that..."

Cen Xing'er recalled, with lingering fear, "I also heard... that the typically low-profile Yin Gui Palace has recently summoned a few leaders from minor external sect factions! It seems they are plotting something too!"

Yes, although the second elder sister was vague, many things she did not disclose to her...

But being clever, she clearly sensed one thing...

Chaos is coming...

Cangming Sect—changes are about to occur!

Moments passed.

There was no response from the Blood Kitchen.

The young girl's small hands clasped behind her back, feeling somewhat anxious and uneasy.

"The master always dislikes meddling in sect affairs; he likely will make no comment..."

"But no matter what, especially at such a time, one must stay by the master's side!"

Cen Xing'er's little fists clenched, resolutely speaking to herself.

However, in the next second.

A cold voice came:

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

That voice carried three parts arrogance, three parts indifference, four parts nonchalance.

As if overlooking the stars, the world no longer in his eyes!

"Wow, the master is... so imposing!"

Hearing the divine voice.

Cen Xing'er's beautiful eyes sparkled as if reflecting starlight, and her cheeks quickly flushed red!

At this moment, the voice from deep within the Blood Kitchen spoke again:

"Is there anything else?"

"Master..."

Covering her hot face, Cen Xing'er couldn't hold back anymore:

"Because of Xiao Chen's provocation, Xing'er almost harmed the master earlier! So..."

"I beg the master to severely punish Xing'er!"

.....

"Oh no!"

In the Immortal Washing Pool on the second underground level of the Blood Kitchen.

Bai Feng, about to deal with the "doll sister," was taken aback, sitting down in shock.
