Moreover, at this crucial moment in the election of the Holy Son, Xing Jian can devise all sorts of plans and schemes for his son, but Bai Yan cannot.
As a supreme elder, he should not interfere in the sect's internal affairs. He was only able to get involved because of his status as Bai Ke's father.
Otherwise, if all those powerful elders in Tian Ce Palace were to come out and interfere in the sect's internal affairs, what would that look like?
Even so, if he wanted to help Bai Ke win people's hearts and establish prestige among ordinary disciples, he would have to pay out of his own pocket. He couldn't do what Xing Jian did—using public office for private gain and seeking benefits for Lin Xiu.
Xing Jian had precisely calculated this point, which is why he dared to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan.
As the sect leader, Ning Fengyi must maintain absolute impartiality. Regardless of what happens in private, she cannot show favoritism to either side on the surface. Since Bai Yan cannot intervene, wouldn't that allow him to do whatever he wants?
Xing Jian smiled smugly, "It's nothing much, I just came from Tiandu Peak..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi with a smile, their brows furrowed and their expressions changing one after another.
Xing Jian didn't disturb the two's private conversation. In his opinion, the spatial rift couldn't possibly have been caused by Bai Ke.
Before coming here, he had also investigated the ruins of that villa. According to the information left in the void, it must have been Bai Yan who stabilized the void disturbance.
It's likely that Bai Yan accidentally caused the spatial disturbance while demonstrating the technique to his son. In any case, he is the current head of Wanbaotang.
With such a major incident occurring on Tiandu Peak, Bai Ke and his son bear an unshirkable responsibility. With a little maneuvering, they might be able to temporarily transfer Bai Ke away from Tian Ce Palace. In that case, he would be excluded from the Holy Son Selection.
Xing Jian, who was secretly plotting his own scheme, looked at Bai Ke with a sly smile. This kid really has a lucky life.
I never expected that my carefully planned scheme would actually help him break through his cultivation level. I wonder if this kid has realized the scheme I set up back then.
Bai Ke felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the Second Elder suddenly appear and look at him with a smile.
I hate these smiling tigers who are all smiles on the outside but cursing on the inside. Why can't they just put their problems out in the open and fight it out? I despise these people!
However, he was a cultured and polite young man, so he didn't retaliate against him. But the black Qilin was standing to the side, looking quite bored.
Normally, if he sees such a commotion, he has to come out and stir things up, since the leaders of Tian Ce Palace are all unreliable.
But it was a different story with Xing Jian. Mo Qilin looked at Xing Jian, who had a sly smile on his face, with great disdain, muttering to himself, "How come just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come here... This is really bad luck!"
"This has ruined my mood for chatting with those beautiful beasts... Ning Fengyi, you old hag, just you wait, you still owe me 10 more beautiful beasts!"
After saying that, he transformed, and another burst of black flames rose up. Then, a black Qilin that was three zhang tall squeezed through the crowd and appeared in mid-air.
Bai Ke, with his sharp eyes, vaguely saw the black unicorn seemingly unintentionally flick its tail towards Xing Jian, who was standing relatively close to the ground.
With his current understanding of the laws of space, he could even sense a faint sense of stagnation in the void surrounding Xing Jian.
Xing Jian flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and dodged the black qilin's tail. "What does Senior Mo mean by this?"
Mo Qilin chuckled and replied nonchalantly, "So what if I didn't see it clearly? It's no good if my eyesight gets bad at my age..."
Xing Jian felt a tightness in his chest... This Mo Qilin really doesn't give me any face at all... Couldn't he have come up with a more decent excuse?
Poor eyesight... You, a divine beast at the Void Reversal Realm, have poor eyesight? Aren't you afraid your ancestors will chop you up alive?
Regardless of what Xing Jian was thinking about Mo Qilin, the man had brazenly extorted money from Ning Fengyi and was now preparing to return home.
He turned to leave, but suddenly turned back and stood in front of Bai Ke. "Hey kid, we're not done talking about me yet, you can't back out now!"
Then he swayed and gradually sank to the bottom of Tian Ce Peak, disappearing without a trace. However, Bai Ke felt that the black qilin seemed to glance at him before leaving.
"These young people nowadays are truly monsters. They're so young, yet they can comprehend the laws of space. Are humans so favored by heaven and earth?"
At the foot of Tian Ce Peak, inside a luxurious palace, the Mo Qilin, in human form, sat cross-legged on a jade bed and muttered to itself.
In front of the main hall of Tian Ce Peak, Ning Fengyi and Bai Ke looked at Xing Jian, who was smiling broadly. "Second Junior Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Reporting to Senior Brother Headmaster, I am one of the elders in charge of Wanbao Hall. I heard that a spatial rift had appeared on Tiandu Peak, so I came here to ask Junior Nephew Bai a question."
He looked at Bai Ke with a smile and said, "Nephew Bai, are you... aware of this?"
"There are other hidden reasons for this matter. Now that you've come, it saves me the trouble of sending someone to look for you. Please wait a moment, and we'll discuss it at the sect meeting later."
Ning Fengyi flicked her hand, sending a burst of spiritual energy to the bronze bell in front of the main hall. The bell rang five times, signaling the summoning of the elders who were not yet in seclusion within the sect.
Xing Jian frowned. He had thought he could catch Bai Yan and his son off guard, but he didn't expect that they would have to hold an elders' meeting. What was the hidden reason?
Ignoring Xing Jian, who was deep in thought, Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan took the lead and walked into the main hall.
Bai Ke hurriedly followed, but as soon as he stepped in, he found that the world before him had suddenly changed drastically, and a strange power from an unknown place was wrapping around his mind.
He quickly calmed down. This was the main hall of the Tian Ce Palace, so there was no chance of an unexpected attack. It was most likely a test from the sect leader and others.
Once he calmed down, he steadied himself and looked around at the world—calling it the world was actually a bit of an exaggeration.
The main hall of the Tian Ce Palace sect uses a spatial array that can contain Sumeru within a mustard seed, so from the outside it looks like an ordinary stone hall.
However, the area where Bai Ke stood was vast and boundless, but the thick white mist around him made it impossible to see the boundaries.
Even with his divine eye, he could only vaguely see several huge vortexes forming inside the white mist.
The strange power that Bai Ke had sensed earlier, which was disturbing his mind, came from that vortex.
Although he didn't know how he was suddenly teleported here, Bai Ke figured Ning Fengyi and the others wouldn't harm him, so he felt relieved and focused on studying this strange place.
As he relaxed his guard, a strange power suddenly emerged from the void and rushed into Bai Ke's mind. Bai Ke then suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
