The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

The elders were dumbfounded, never expecting them to twist the truth like this. Qu Wangzhi, however, seemed to believe them.

Only now did they realize that Qu Wangzhi clearly intended to protect Yun Fuzhao.

"Qu Wangzhi, you are just the Fifth Elder. After the Sect Master's death, it is no longer your place to be in charge of the Boundless Sword Sect."

The Grand Elder said coldly, "He murdered the sect leader and colluded with the demons; his heart is wicked. Such a scourge must not be allowed to remain in the Boundless Sword Sect. He must be executed immediately."

Qu Wangzhi nodded, "If you're so capable, then you do it."

The elder choked, while Yun Fuzhao stood motionless in place, with the fox clan of unknown origin standing behind her.

Considering her connection to the demon race, it seemed impossible for him, with his cultivation level, to kill her.

The elders looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Yun Fuzhao spoke up at this moment, "So what if I colluded with the demons? I'm still good friends with the current Demon Lord."

"Yun Fuzhao! How dare you speak so righteously?! Colluding with the demon race is a capital offense!"

"What's wrong with the Demon Clan?" Yun Fuzhao asked in confusion. "Isn't the Six Realms ruled by the strong?"

"..."

Yun Fuzhao didn't see anything wrong with it. She tried to brainwash the elders, "Look, the Demon Clan is now very powerful, on par with the cultivation world. Instead of fighting to the death, we should cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. If our sect befriends the Demon Clan, we won't need to pay any attention to the Xuan Tian Sect."

It must be said that there is some truth to what she said.

The Grand Elder was almost brainwashed by her. "Hmph, you make it sound so easy. The demons are unpredictable. They might wipe us all out if they're ever in a bad mood."

“You make it sound like cultivators are so much better,” Yun Fuzhao said, spreading his hands. “Anyway, the facts are right here. You can’t kill me anyway, so you might as well consider what I’m saying.”

Yun Fuzhao yawned. "I'll only give you one day. If you're willing, I have only one request: restore Song Ying and the others' status as inner disciples."

After saying that, she left with Qi Huai and the others.

Only a few elders were left standing bewildered in the wind.

The death of Meng Ci'er is a matter of great importance, and the elders discussed it all night but could not come to a conclusion.

"Cooperating with the demon race means making an enemy of the entire cultivation world. You all should think this through carefully."

Qu Wangzhi said, "In recent years, the Demon Clan and the Immortal Cultivation World have been locked in endless conflict, with several major battles breaking out. Disciples from both realms are exhausted both physically and mentally. This cannot continue indefinitely. Peaceful coexistence is an inevitable trend. Since that is the case, why don't we take the lead?"

"The risk is far too great..."

"That's true, but you can't build something new without destroying it."

Qu Wangzhi: "Our Boundless Sword Sect was once a powerful force, but now we've fallen to this state. Are you all truly content with this?"

He pressed on, "Besides, none of you have that deep feelings for Meng Ci'er, do you? As elders, shouldn't you be considering the interests of the sect?"

No one spoke again.

The Grand Elder remained silent for a long time before finally relenting, "We can give it a try, but I have conditions..."

Yun Fuzhao had a good night's rest, and the next morning he was summoned to the council chamber by Qu Wangzhi.

The elders sat upright, looking at Yun Fuzhao with solemn expressions.

"Yun Fuzhao, after a night of discussion, we have decided to grant your request. However, we have a condition: you must take the position of sect leader of the Boundless Sword Sect."

Yun Fuzhao knew they would agree, so she listened lazily until she heard the second half of the sentence, at which point she was stunned: "Huh?"

No, what were you thinking? Is this the result of your all-night talk?

Is this right?

The First Elder said, “If we choose you as the sect leader, you will be held accountable by the cultivation world in the future. You must not implicate the sect.”

Yun Fuzhao understood; they were using her as a shield. If other sects asked, they would say that she was the one who colluded with the demons.

When something happens to a sect, the sect leader is the first to bear the consequences.

Good, good, good, what a bunch of cunning old guys.

"Your decision was far too hasty. I have absolutely no idea how to manage a sect!"

The Grand Elder said, "It's alright, we will all mentor you. By the way, I heard that you have always wanted to become Qu Wangzhi's disciple. We can make an exception and let you become his personal disciple."

Wait a minute, won't this mess up the generational hierarchy?

Moreover, Yun Fuzhao's desire to join Qu Wangzhi's sect is purely a way to slack off. If she really becomes the sect leader, how will she continue to lie low?

Yun Fuzhao wanted to refuse, but the Grand Elder seemed to see through her thoughts and sneered, "You were talking so nicely yesterday, saying you didn't take the Xuantian Sect seriously. Why are you backing out now that I'm asking you to do it?"

Yun Fuzhao was speechless. She hadn't expected them to be so crazy, daring to make her the sect leader, weren't they afraid she would wipe out the entire sect...

Qu Wangzhi: "Don't worry, we're here."

That's how the matter was settled, rather haphazardly.

Yun Fuzhao was still in a daze when he returned to his residence.

[Yun Family Brigade 3rd Guard He Yu: Not bad, not bad, a direct and decisive move. Our sect's revival is promising.]

[Yun Family Team 2, Hong Ziqing: Hahaha, look how scared our little Zhao Zhao is. She was so confident and eloquent when she was making grand promises yesterday.]

The powerful figures teased her relentlessly, making Yun Fuzhao feel embarrassed; she felt the whole thing was too far-fetched.

At this rate, when will she finally be able to live a carefree, laid-back life?

Yun Fuzhao sighed deeply, but Qi Huai, sitting beside him, smiled with narrowed eyes, "What are you worried about? Your position as sect leader is at most just a figurehead."

She leaned on the table, staring at Qi Huai, "I know, but this title is just a title; I still have a lot on my shoulders."

Qi Huai's gaze fell on her flattened face, and he suddenly moved closer. "Annoyed? Want me to help you relax?"

Yun Fuzhao asked curiously, "How do I relax?"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with laughter. Qi Huai's cool fingers touched her cheek. He lowered his eyes and, before she could struggle, placed his fingers on her temple.

His voice lowered a few decibels, "Let me rub it for you."

Qi Huai controlled the pressure well, and Yun Fuzhao's tense nerves gradually relaxed, allowing him to massage her temples.

When his gaze fell on the fox tail, Yun Fuzhao reached out and hooked the tail over.

Yun Fuzhao paused, his fingertips pressing on his temples. He thought the man was getting impatient again. He looked up and saw that the man was sitting with his back to the light, so he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes.

It gave her a feeling that was different from usual.

Yun Fuzhao was a little confused, but the next second Qi Huai smiled and asked, "Does it feel good to touch?"

She nodded.

Qi Huai smiled affectionately. He lowered his head slightly, and the distance between them suddenly closed. His ears twitched, and his golden eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of seduction. "Would you like to touch my ears?"
