Chapter 778 (2/2)

Hai Yunfan was worried. “How sure are you?”

“If we gather all the forces in our hands to encircle and suppress that Fallen Immortal, I am ninety percent sure that we can win. But the problem is, we can’t find that person’s position. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, how many percent chance of victory do you think I can be sure of? So I need to investigate it, but not in a big way so as not to alert the enemy.”

“Do you need any cooperation from this side?”

“Not giving me trouble is already a blessing. If I were to see this kind of report again, I would have to put down the Fallen Immortal problem and come back to rectify the management team of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.”

——

At the same time, in a certain Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Central Region, a young looking and beautiful Sect Leader was looking at the golden paper in her hand with confusion.

“What does this mean?”

“Report Sect Leader, this is a notice issued by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals not long ago, asking all the major sects to do a good job in the construction of spiritual civilization. There are many specific requirements in it, but I have already drawn out the more important ones for you.”

The Sect Leader shook her head and said, “No-no-no. I’m not interested in how the bureaucrats of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals are going to waste manpower and resources. Just pretend that we have done what they want us to do and then write a report and submit it. What I care about is my question has not been answered. Tell me, why is my favorite magazine novel suddenly gone? Didn’t I say to buy it as soon as it is released and put it in my room?”

The subordinate was silent for a moment and then said, “The magazine has been discontinued.”

“Discontinued?” The Sect Leader opened her eyes widely in bewilderment and asked, “Why? Isn’t the sales very good? People who like to read novels will basically buy it!”

“Because… The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals said that the theme of the magazine did not meet the requirements of the construction of spiritual civilization so it was discontinued, killing it to set an example for the others.”

“What?”

The young Sect Leader was rooted on the spot and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

The cultivator who stood in front of her who served as the secretary of the Sect Leader could understand the blow of this news toward the Sect Leader.

This Sect Leader was a really strange person. She had a cute and lovely name: Xia Xiaohe (Translator note: Xiaohe = Small Lotus; Xia = Summer). She was originally a loose cultivator in the Central Region. Ten years ago she met the former Sect Leader while traveling. Because of the same interest, she was invited into the sect as a guest Elder. One year later, the former Sect Leader died of an accident and pa.s.sed the position of the Sect Leader to her.

After she took over the sect, she did not carry out any drastic reform but just preserved the works of the previous Sect Leader. It was not that she had limited talent—As a matter of fact, before this person’s cultivation reached one hundred years, she had already achieved Deity Stage, and was much more powerful than the previous Sect Leader. There was something unusual about her personal craving.

According to the popular saying in the Nine Regions, Xia Xiaohe was an incurable otaku girl. She spent most of her nine years as the Sect Leader in her bedroom reading novels, listening to music, and playing games. She completely indulged herself and got carried away in enjoying the booming entertainment culture of the Nine Regions. If the former Sect Leader didn’t leave behind an arrangement in the form of an executive management team, perhaps the sect would’ve suffered a decline.

For such a serious otaku to have her favorite magazine novel discontinued, one could imagine the blow that she must have suffered…

For a sect to have this kind of otaku Sect Leader, naturally there were dissenting voices. However, no matter how much silent criticism spoken out by the people below, for a low rank sect, her Deity Stage cultivation base was enough to make up for all her shortcomings.

It was just that… If Xia Xiaohe could get rid of these bad habits, that would of course be better. The ban from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals had drawn a lot of criticism from all over Nine Regions. However, in view of this sect, it would be of great merit to let the Sect Leader leave her bad habits and began to concentrate on the affairs of the sect.

Therefore, the secretary didn’t try to awake and shock Xia Xiaohe and just secretly looked forward to this time where her favorite serialized novel was discontinued because of the ban from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. If this could cause her to repent and a.s.sumed her official duties, that would be much better.

The silence went on for some time. After no one knew how much time had pa.s.sed, Xia Xiaohe finally recovered her reason.

“Well, time indeed flies by really fast.”

The secretary was stunned and didn’t understand what the Sect Leader wanted to express.

“Ten years have pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye… Alas, visiting to enjoy the pleasures of life is basically the ‘infatuation with fine details prevents one from making progress.’ Now that my favorite novel is gone, I have no choice but to do serious things.”

The secretary was overjoyed, but somehow he felt chill down his spine.
