Chapter 526 - Chapter 526 The Daoist Helmsman (2/2)

Having lived in the city since childhood, this was her first time seeing such a Taoist market.

Although similar to the commercial streets outside, there was a fundamental difference.

“Miss Tong, we meet again!”

An annoying voice rang out from not too far away as Luo Zhenjia, followed by several Taoists, blocked Tong Ya’s path.

Tong Ya was startled and quickly ran behind Chen Yu.

Seeing Luo Zhenjia, Chen Yu was also infuriated, not expecting this man to dare show up before him.

“Sect Leader Luo, have you come looking for revenge?”

Luo Zhenjia waved his hands repeatedly, his face filled with fear.

“You must be joking, Sect Leader Chen. I’m no match for you, how could I dare seek revenge! I just want to discuss some matters with you.”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, “If you have something to say, then say it.”

Luo Zhenjia looked around cautiously before sneaking up closer to Chen Yu.

“Sect Leader Chen, the purpose of this grand meeting is to determine who will helm the Taoist factions for the next few decades! Do you have any candidate in mind, any Sect Leader you plan to endorse?”

With a helpless sigh, Chen Yu realized that these people had gathered at Sacred Mountain for just this reason.

“What are the benefits of being the helm of the Taoist factions?”

Luo Zhenjia’s face suddenly lit up with excitement, “The benefits are plentiful! We can regulate at will, and we can also enter the Divine Realm behind Sacred Mountain’s back mountain.”

“The Divine Realm?” Chen Yu was full of confusion.

“Exactly!” Luo Zhenjia became more and more agitated as he spoke, “You must have heard of Xie Ziran from the Tang dynasty! She ascended to immortality there.”

Chen Yu’s head was full of question marks, realizing that after all the trouble, these people were after the so-called ascension to immortality.

He found such an illusory goal laughable upon hearing it.

However, history indeed had its share of unexplainable events.

“I’m not interested in that helmsman position. I came here just to take my wife and child out for relaxation. If you all want to compete for it, go ahead. Even if I were to vote, I’d cast an abstention.”

With a disgruntled declaration, Chen Yu quickly left with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.

Once the family of three was far away, several Taoists from different factions gathered around Luo Zhenjia.

“Sect Leader Luo, what does Sect Leader Chen mean? Whose vote does he want to cast?”

“Does Sect Leader Chen also want to be the helmsman? If he does, we could all cast our votes for him, but it’s unclear what benefits he could offer us.”

“Sect Leader Luo, you have the highest prestige among us. You must have some advice for us.”

…

The chirping voices made Luo Zhenjia extremely irritated.

“Enough! He simply doesn’t care about the position of helmsman. Let’s stop flattering ourselves and find some of the older, more experienced seniors.”

The crowd was suddenly stunned, the position of Taoist helmsman carrying no small advantages, an aspiration for them all their lives, yet there were still those who looked down upon it.

Luo Zhenjia didn’t say anything more and turned around to leave directly.

Those left behind were in uproar, unsure of what Chen Yu meant.

Currently, Xuanqing Sect was the most powerful among all Taoist factions, and as its Sect Leader, Chen Yu had significant influence. His single vote was equivalent to two or even three votes from other factions.

Now, those older Sect Leaders were trying their best to curry favor with Chen Yu, aiming to secure the votes from Xuanqing Sect.
