Chapter 920 Enlightenment Through Sword-Splitting Water: A Startling Moment (Part 2)
Regardless of the changing world outside, Su Che has already returned to the Longevity Sect.

The Longevity Cult is gradually recovering to its former glory.

Disciples came and went in an endless stream, and according to their different levels of cultivation, they went to various places to collect herbs and refine elixirs.

Some disciples even used their magical powers to repair the road between the foot of the sect's mountain and the Kingdom of Wuzhong.

A market town has already begun to take shape outside the sect.

"Since the elders reorganized the sect, the sect's pill production has more than doubled compared to before. Although we lost some of the raw material production areas in the surrounding areas, we have been able to maintain a stable supply by purchasing from major trading companies."

Lu Zheng was still in charge of the post station in Guzhu Kingdom, and Sun Cheng reported all matters, big and small, within the Changsheng Sect directly to Su Che.

He carefully considered his words before speaking.

"Now that Patriarch Ma Yi has emerged from seclusion, he has asked about many things. Should the elder go and pay him a visit?"

"I've heard that Master Ma Yi and Master Wu You Tian have had quite a few conflicts?"

"Yes. Although the two founders did not openly determine who was superior, the atmosphere within the sect is such that some people want to take advantage of this."

Sun Cheng sighed.

He also did not want to see the current good situation of the Longevity Sect return to its previous state due to the infighting among the gods.

"If I don't go to pay my respects to my teacher, the disciples in the sect might gossip about me."

"Yes."

"But if I go to visit my teacher, Senior Wuyoutian will definitely feel bad."

"This is natural."

"So what are you waiting for? Pack some gifts for me, and come with me to pay your respects to the teacher."

The Demon Lord's bedroom in hemp clothing.

Now, all the disciples of the Longevity Sect who practiced alchemy gathered together and stood in two rows outside the hall.

Flags fluttered in the air, and mythical birds and beasts roamed freely.

Su Che, dressed in black robes and with disheveled hair, stood outside the palace gate and bowed inward, reciting the incantation.

"Disciple Yang Sui greets his revered master."

The sound carried magical power, shaking the entire world.

On a treetop somewhere within the Changsheng Sect, Wuyoutian, dressed as a child, casually cursed and then closed his eyes to rest.

"Good boy, you've accomplished something great."

The palace doors opened, and the Demon Lord in hemp robes emerged from within, looking refreshed.

He reached out and took Su Che's hand.

"Yang Sui, you now have three great achievements."

"These meager skills of mine are hardly worthy of being called merit."

"To receive the true meaning of the Demon Lord and prove the foundation of our sect's heritage is the first merit."

At the crucial moment, Yang Sui received a wisp of the true meaning of the Demon Lord of Extinction, unleashing tremendous power and slaughtering the Black Blood Demon lineage in a panic. This is a fact known to everyone.

What does this mean?
This shows that the Demon Lord, whom the Longevity Sect reveres, personally chose the Ma Yi lineage. Regardless of who the previous direct successor was, the fact that a true intention was bestowed upon them is enough to prove that the Ma Yi lineage is the true direct successor of the sect, personally chosen by the Demon Lord.

"By changing the sect's structure and restoring its vitality, using alchemy as a catalyst to implement the concept of transformation, even Senior Brother Bei Nu Tian greatly admires your methods. This is the second merit." Su Che hurriedly nodded in thanks.

Although I don't know how alchemy is related to other things, this kind of talk is purely for show.

Don't even mention converting to his teachings. As long as the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes is willing to recite the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man, then there is a connection. Which of his disciples would dare to object?
As for bringing up the Heaven of Sorrow and Wrath, firstly, the Heaven of Sorrow and Wrath itself agreed with Su Che's changes, and secondly, it was also a way to use the Heaven of Sorrow and Wrath as a shield.

This was to warn the disciples before him not to harbor any wicked thoughts. Although Wuyoutian was one of the Three Heavens of the North Pole, the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes was also a legitimate figure from the Sky-Treading Heaven, and the true leader supported by the Wrathful Heaven.

"After fighting in Qingwang Valley and breaking into Wanling Sect, we escaped from the clutches of that bald-headed Shande, which greatly boosted the prestige of our sect. A few days ago, members from Hehuan Sect and Zhaoyang Holy Sect came to pay their respects to our sect. This is the third achievement."

"With these three merits, the head elder should be promoted to the position of sect leader."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Not to mention the disciples below, even Su Che was somewhat bewildered.

What's this? He became a major shareholder through stock trading?

The original system of the Longevity Sect was a consensus system among the various powerful factions within the sect, with the heads of the eight major sects at the core. Experts at the Void Step level handled the sect's affairs, freeing the Longevity True Person from mundane tasks.

This design is actually quite reasonable for the Changsheng Cult.

However, the system has now become a situation where Su Che and the Demon Lord in Ma Yi have a monopoly.

There is no difference between Su Che, the chief elder, and the real sect leader.

If there is any problem, it is that the authority of the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes is higher than that of Yang Sui, the chief elder, but this is also normal.

The internal strife within the Longevity Sect ultimately stemmed from the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes' desire to seize control.

However, the tide has turned now, and the Demon Lord in hemp robes is actually going to appoint Su Che as the sect leader. This is equivalent to him taking a step back and formally handing over the entire Longevity Sect to Su Che.

You must know that Yang Sui is the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha appointed by a Buddhist master. With rumors swirling around the sect, what exactly is the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes thinking by pulling such a stunt?
"This disciple would never dare."

Su Che objected without even thinking.

"With my abilities, I am truly inadequate to suppress the destiny of a sect. Without my teacher to hold the reins, I fear I will be ashamed before the ancestors of all generations, from Qing Tong Xiao Jun downwards."

What a joke! The purpose of stirring up trouble in the Changsheng Sect is to destroy the Bailudong Sect, not to make a demonic sect bigger and stronger.

Su Che was focused on converting to the Yellow Heaven, and had even planned how to exit the Yang Sui identity in the future. How could he allow any unexpected changes to this path?
"It is precisely because it is difficult that we must do it with all our might. I and Senior Brother Wuyoutian are both Supreme Elders of our sect, and we will protect you together."

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes smiled warmly, yet he did not allow Su Che to refuse in the slightest.

"I have already consulted Senior Brother Bei Nu Tian about this matter, and he believes that this is a long-term plan for the sect's stability."

Su Che suddenly realized.

By retreating in order to advance, the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes was trying to pull Wuyoutian behind the scenes, and Beinutian agreed.

Indeed, the Arctic Yuan Palace is ambitious and determined to expand its business. The Grieving Heaven is planning to acquire several other sects and will absolutely not tarnish its reputation because of a small sect like the Longevity Sect.

Holding controlling stakes but not changing the management team is the most effective way to manipulate people's hearts and minds.

"From today onwards, Senior Brother Wuyoutian and I will travel to the North Pole to plan important matters for the sect. You must all obey the sect leader's orders..."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes began to preach before his disciples.

Su Che, however, remained expressionless.

At this time, what important matter could the Grief-Wrathful Heaven possibly have?
They might even have to use the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes.

How much power, similar to that of the Wrathful Heaven, does Zhongshan Society secretly possess? With such accumulated strength, when the truth is revealed one day, which family will they target?
