The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 944: The Charisma of Li Lingxi

Chapter 944: The Charisma of Li Lingxi

"I have already scanned this secret realm with my divine consciousness, and there are only the three of us here. You can act without hesitation.

After that, I will set up a restriction here so that ordinary people won't be able to enter."

As she spoke, Li Lingxi looked at Su Jingzhen with anticipation in her eyes.

The latter did not hesitate and immediately began to manifest one Heavenly Flame after another in his hands.

Following his memory of the original layout, he threw each flame into its rightful place.

Deep Sea Netherflame, Nine Nether Fiend Fire, Luminous Crimson Gold Flame...

One by one, they all returned to their places.

The temperature within the flame space soared once again, and a powerful, chaotic, yet holy energy surged forth.

At this moment, the Flame Secret Realm of the Divine Dan Sect was reborn.

As all the heavenly flames returned to their rightful places, the atmosphere within the realm stabilized once again.

Li Lingxi's lips curled into a smile of relief.

"Even though I've seen many wonders in the cultivation world, this moment feels like a dream to me.

Those old guys have been resenting me for a long time, and this time they've found some points to attack.

Right now, they are probably waiting at the entrance of my palace. I wonder what kind of expression they'll have when they see this Flame Secret Realm.

Li Lingxi muttered to herself, her gaze growing increasingly fond as she looked at Su Jingzhen.

"From now on, you will be a treasured benefactor of the Divine Dan Sect."

After murmuring this, Li Lingxi immediately took the two of them out of the Flame Secret Realm and back to her palace.

At the same time, as expected, she received a request for an audience from Zhou Daoqi and the others.

Li Lingxi's lips curled into a beautiful smile as she looked at Su Jingzhen and Little Ling.

"Come, let's go meet the old guys."

Su Jingzhen nodded and did not refuse.

He could tell that although Li Lingxi was the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect, her life didn't seem to be particularly easy.

This time, it seemed that he had given her an opportunity to deal with those elders who harbored their own agenda.

Whether it was because of Li Lingxi's sincerity towards him or her assistance with Qiu Yaoyao, Su Jingzhen had no reason not to stand by her side.

The palace gates opened and Li Lingxi led Su Jingzhen and Little Ling out.

As expected, Zhou Daoqi and the ten leading elders, along with a group of other ordinary elders, were all staring intently at Li Lingxi.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Daoqi spoke:

"During the third round, the sect master stated that everything within the Flame Secret Realm would be the responsibility of the sect master.

However, now the Flame Secret Realm of our Divine Dan Sect has been destroyed.

We are waiting for an explanation from the sect master."

As Zhou Daoqi finished speaking, most of the elders present cast unfriendly glances at Su Jingzhen.

In their eyes, the current conflict was caused by Su Jingzhen being too greedy in the Flame Secret Realm.

Even Cheng Xian, who had shown much goodwill towards Su Jingzhen, had a complex expression on his face.

To them, a sect based on alchemy that lacked such heavenly flames would deprive its disciples of opportunities to break through their limits.

Although Su Jingzhen had now joined the Divine Dan Sect, and his potential was indeed limitless, capable of reaching the pinnacle in the future, he was still just one person.

After exhausting all resources, even if Su Jingzhen could bring temporary fame, the long-term lack of a solid foundation would be extremely detrimental.

"Are you all here to demand an explanation from me?

If I cannot give you a reasonable explanation today, what are you going to do?

Or how will you deal with our newly accepted disciple, Su Jingzhen?"

Li Lingxi's lips still carried a smile, but her gaze swept over each of the elders present.

She had always been well aware of her position. Although she sat on the throne of the Divine Dan Sect's sect master, she knew that the elders beneath her did not truly submit to her.

Understanding this was one thing, but seeing this scene unfold before her eyes still stirred a sense of sorrow within her.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoqi and the others remained silent.

Their silence seemed to speak volumes.

"Speak up!

Although I know what you're thinking, I still want to hear it from your own mouth.

The Divine Dan Sect has been declining for some time now. This great gathering of alchemists is an opportunity, perhaps even a chance for reform.

I know that you are all unhappy with me, so I want to hear your true thoughts."

As she spoke, her tone was earnest, and her gaze fell upon Zhou Daoqi.

She was well aware that these elders were currently following Zhou Daoqi's lead.

Zhou Daoqi's expression became even more complicated.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke:

"Since the sect master wishes for me to speak, I will dare to say it."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the expressions of the elders behind him grew tense and complex.

Without hesitation, Zhou Daoqi continued:

"First of all, your position as a sect master is illegitimate.

Back then, you were just an itinerant cultivator, despite your extraordinary talent in alchemy. You were not a member of the Divine Dan Sect.

When the elder sect master Dantai retired, you seized the opportunity to take over the position of sect master."

As soon as Zhou Daoqi finished speaking, the atmosphere became subtly tense.

The elders behind him were shocked, as if they hadn't expected him to be so bold.

Even Su Jingzhen and Little Ling, who were standing next to Li Lingxi, were startled.

These matters were considered to be the secrets of the Divine Dan Sect.

They hadn't expected that halfway through her journey, Li Lingxi had become the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect.

No wonder these elders were dissatisfied.

What surprised Su Jingzhen even more was Zhou Daoqi's mention of the "Elder Sect Master Dantai".

He suddenly realized!

He had always felt that Dantai Mingjing was incredibly mysterious, but he hadn't expected this revelation to be true.

And the moment he heard the title, Su Jingzhen was certain that it must be Dantai Mingjing.

He instinctively looked at Little Ling, who also looked at him.

Both of them were filled with shock.

Su Jingzhen couldn't help but think of Little Ling's identity - the Holy Maiden of the Emperor's Realm!

This was clearly something that Little Ling herself didn't know about.

Su Jingzhen couldn't help but marvel at the benefactors around him.

Now, upon hearing this key piece of information, the Emperor Realm, the Holy Maiden of the Emperor Realm, the former sect master of the Divine Dan Sect, and the Yunmeng Goddess seemed to be connected by an invisible thread in Su Jingzhen's mind.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Su Jingzhen turned his attention back to Li Lingxi.

Little Ling was only in her teens, and according to Su Jingzhen's estimation, Dantai Mingjing had likely retired less than twenty years ago.

This meant that Li Lingxi had been the master of the sect for about twenty years.

The Divine Dan Sect was a large and powerful organization, and although Li Lingxi's cultivation and alchemy skills were exceptional, her experience was still relatively shallow.

Among the ten elders present, even those at the bottom of the hierarchy were probably more senior than Li Lingxi.

However, Su Jingzhen was once again shocked when he considered that Li Lingxi had risen to become the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect as a wandering cultivator.

This could undoubtedly be considered a legend in the cultivation world.

If Li Lingxi's life story were to be compiled, it would undoubtedly be a tale of genius.

For Zhou Daoqi's words, Li Lingxi simply nodded, her smile remaining undiminished.

She didn't interrupt, but signaled for Zhou Daoqi to continue.

Zhou Daoqi took a deep breath and continued:

"Of course, it is pointless to discuss seniority right now.

After all, you are the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect, and that is a fact.

Besides, your alchemy skills and cultivation have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few years, surpassing even us old bones.

In this regard, we are naturally impressed."

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"At the beginning, we did harbor discontent toward your position as sect master, but over the years, we have not acted against you openly, nor have we ever disobeyed your commands in public while secretly opposing them.

Today, however, I wish to enumerate several grievances against the sect master.

The second point: During your tenure, you have never truly cared for or shown concern toward the disciples of the Divine Dan Sect.

The overall strength of our sect has stagnated, and we have frequently held various grand events, giving away countless treasures of the Divine Dan Sect to outsiders without receiving anything in return."

As he spoke, Zhou Daoqi's gaze shifted back toward Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen was the perfect example to support Zhou Daoqi's words.

For Zhou Daoqi's statement, Li Lingxi did not refute it. Instead, she continued to smile and asked, "Anything else?"

Although Li Lingxi was smiling, the atmosphere among the elders seemed to become increasingly tense. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

To them, this felt like the calm before the storm.

Li Lingxi continued to push, and Zhou Daoqi continued:

"We are not here to stage a coup.

After all, there is currently no one in the Divine Dan Sect, including myself, who is qualified to take the position of sect master.

We simply hope that the sect master can provide us with an explanation regarding the Flame Secret Realm.

Afterwards, fulfill your duties as sect master and lead us in clarifying the future direction of the Divine Dan Sect," he said.

As he spoke, Zhou Daoqi truly felt a sense of helplessness, as if he were disappointed that Li Lingxi had not lived up to his expectations.

Of course, as far as the Flame Secret Realm was concerned, Li Lingxi still had to provide an explanation.

"Is that all?"

Seeing the frustrated expressions of Zhou Daoqi and the others, Li Lingxi's smile remained unchanged as she continued to ask.

Zhou Daoqi replied, "That's all."

Li Lingxi nodded once more.

Then, her aura suddenly became sharp and intense.

In that instant, her imposing presence even forced Zhou Daoqi to lower his head.

Su Jingzhen and Little Ling, who were closest to Li Lingxi, were slightly startled.

Zhou Daoqi was already a solid Immortal Lord, and even among Immortal Lords, he was no weakling.

Yet, he had no choice but to submit in front of Li Lingxi.

At that moment, Su Jingzhen sensed a similar aura to what he had felt when Xuening had awakened.

An immortal king?

Su Jingzhen was once again shocked, but after a moment of thought, he felt a sense of relief.

After all, Li Lingxi was the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect. If she didn't possess such strength, it would have been strange.

Behind Zhou Daoqi, the other elders were uneasy, their hearts pounding.

T

hey wondered what Li Lingxi's intentions were by unleashing such a powerful aura. Was she planning to suppress them by force?

Each of them felt anxious. Although Li Lingxi's combat abilities were not particularly strong as she had focused on alchemy, she was still an Immortal King.

With just her raw power, she could easily suppress them.

Besides, all the elders present were also deeply immersed in alchemy.

However, the next moment, Li Lingxi's expression softened once again as she smiled and said,

"I do not blame you for your doubts and dissatisfaction. In fact, I am quite pleased that you dared to express your true thoughts to me today."

"Since that is the case, I will address your concerns one by one.

First of all, you claim that my position as a sect master is illegitimate?

I have acted within the rules. The path of becoming a sect master in the Divine Dan Sect is open to anyone who can walk it. This rule has been in place since ancient times, right?

I, Li Lingxi, walked that path through my own abilities and succeeded in taking the position of sect master. It was a legitimate succession.

Your dissatisfaction and belief that my position is illegitimate is not based on any real issue, but on your own jealousy.

You, a group of fools, have tried countless times and failed to walk the sect master's path, so you harbor resentment."

Although Li Lingxi's words were meant to be an explanation, they were also a kind of scathing rebuke.

As soon as she finished speaking, all the elders, including Zhou Daoqi, turned red with embarrassment. Yet, an invisible anger stirred within them, even though they didn't know how to vent it.

What Li Lingxi had said was undeniably true.

They all felt that their seniority should have given them the upper hand, but Li Lingxi's rise to power had been unexpected.

Before the elders could respond, Li Lingxi continued:

"As for your accusation that I do not work for the benefit of the Divine Dan Sect?

Ever since the former sect master retired, the Divine Dan Sect's standing in the cultivation world has plummeted, and we are on the verge of falling out of the top tier.

As for what the countless alchemists of the Divine Dan Sect mean to the major powers in the cultivation world, you are well aware of that.

You also know how many dominant powers covet the Divine Dan Sect.

The reason the Divine Dan Sect still maintains its lofty position today is not because of you elders, is it?"

"That..."

The elders exchanged glances, once again rendered speechless by Li Lingxi's words.

Some truths seemed to be buried deep in their subconscious, making them unconsciously ignore certain facts.

As a result, they often chose not to believe them.

Seeing the elders' reactions, Li Lingxi's lips curled into a cold smile.

She continued:

"Perhaps you cannot see what I have done, but in the near future, the Divine Dan Sect will benefit from it for a long time.

With your status, you cannot be unaware of what is happening in the Divine Shepherd Realm, and you may have guessed who is behind it.

I will tell you now, what I have done is directly related to that place!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling were a bit confused.

They had no other sources of information and had spent the past few days quietly attending the Grand Alchemy Gathering.

They had no idea what was going on in the Divine Shepherd Realm.

However, Zhou Daoqi and the others were visibly shocked.

Their expressions became even more complex as they looked at Li Lingxi.

If what she said was true, then they had to admit that coming here to question her was indeed too rash and inappropriate.

However, after a moment's thought, Zhou Daoqi and the others still had one crucial point to address - the Flame Secret Realm.

Li Lingxi had yet to give a direct answer about it.

"Perhaps what the sect master says is all true, but the Flame Secret Realm is one of the most important foundations of the Divine Dan Sect..."

Zhou Daoqi's words trailed off, but the meaning was clear.

Li Lingxi couldn't help but laugh inwardly at Zhou Daoqi's statement.

She had been waiting for Zhou Daoqi and the others to bring up this particular matter.

Now that the Flame Secret Realm had been restored to its former state by Su Jingzhen, she intended to use this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate these elders.

"If, and I say if, I can restore the Flame Secret Realm to its former state or even make it more prosperous than before, what would you say?"
