125 An Elaborate Scheme (2/2)

Senior Qing felt enraged by the thought of such a thing but kept this to herself. She would not declare battle with them nor would she make some rash decision. But she would not let them off so easily.

Returning this manual to them was like a slap to the face. A message that they will be the ones to humiliate Clear Spring Mountain. There was no doubt in her mind that the junior sect leader of theirs would attempt something.

She looked back at the elders.

”Stay vigilant, watch the Tao Feng Sect carefully”, she said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that something will happen on this day. They left to entertain the guests of their celebration.

Meanwhile, Zuo Er spoke with the two seniors as well as Kuang Li. Their entire group had been isolated from the others as no one wanted to approach them. It was clear that they were not welcome but Zuo Er was not bothered by such a thing. Rather be found it perfect because now, no one would know what he would be planning.

'Well then seniors, now that I have returned the manual. There is no doubt that they would be on guard now. Kuang Li, I trust that you know what to do when I make the sign. Out of everyone here, you should be most familiar with the mountain. Once you make that opening, send out the signal and finally we will be able to control more than just this mountain”, he looked at Kuang Li with the same smile he always wore.

This time however, there was a sinister feeling with it, changing from a charismatic leader to that of a scheming criminal.

Kuang Li nodded in assurance, once he was done with this. He would be allowed access to almost all of the resources in the Tao Feng. This was the reward he had waited for. With it, he was sure that there was nothing that could stand in his way.

As for the two seniors, this was perhaps the event they waited for. If they were to succeed, they would gain praise and rewards. More than that, they would be known throughout the world for doing what many would think to be impossible.

But of the four of them, Zuo Er was the most excited. As the sect leader's personal disciple, he was set to be the next head of the Tao Feng. This was a plan he had long be working on and succeeding upon it would only cement his place even further.

With everything under his calculations, he only had to wait for the celebrations to proceed.

Not long after, Senior Qing and the other elders returned to speak with the other leaders.

”Soon”, Zuo Er thought, ”All of you will become my stepping stone.”

He looked at all of the older generation cultivators with contempt. He looked past all of them, setting his sights on something much greater.
