After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 395 Situation

Inside the inner chamber of the Diyin Sect, a slender figure in light blue sat on an ancient wooden bench, her long legs crossed, a book lying on her knees. Her beautiful face was serene and elegant, her long black hair held together by a few simple hairpins, some of it cascading over her shoulders like a dark satin ribbon. She leaned back in the chair, a picture of a beautiful woman reading a book.

Upon seeing the woman, the person in charge of the report couldn't help but soften their breathing, afraid of disturbing her.

This woman's beauty was completely different from Lin Zhao's refined elegance and Ji Wantang's stunning beauty. She exuded a uniquely feminine gentleness and intellect.

Although she couldn't match Ji Wantang's stunning beauty and Lin Zhao's aloof and unparalleled temperament, she possessed her own unique charm.

"Young Master, there's still no movement from Lin Zhao, while Ji Wantang has already eliminated over a hundred cultivators."

The woman reading in the inner chamber of the Diyin Sect is none other than Xu Lewei, the young master of the Diyin Sect.

Upon hearing her disciple's report, Xu Lewei slowly put down the book in her hand, raised her head and looked at the disciple: "Oh? The young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect's achievements are somewhat inconsistent with her reputation, which is almost on par with Ji Wantang's."

Although his demeanor remained elegant and aloof, there was a hint of mockery towards Lin Zhao in his words.

After all, being a woman herself, Xu Lewei had once considered Ji Wantang as her rival. However, as Ji Wantang's strength grew, and she eventually surpassed him, Xu Lewei lost the desire to compete.

However, it must be said that Ji Wantang also holds a position in Xu Lewei's heart that others cannot mention. For example, Lin Zhao, who was not well-known before and whose achievements are unclear now, actually wants to be ranked alongside Ji Wantang.

For Xu Lewei, this undoubtedly felt like Lin Zhao's appearance was an insult to Ji Wantang.

So that ranking was something she intentionally arranged.

I never expected that even with my current ranking, Lin Zhao still hasn't appeared.

The disciple said, "She's probably scared. She wants to be on par with Ji Wantang. Ji Wantang is now a Nascent Soul cultivator and is a sure thing to become the next Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. What is Lin Zhao? Her Phoenix Luck was taken away early on. She probably exhausted all her resources to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."

Before Xu Lewei could respond, a laugh came from not far away.

“What Senior Brother Wang Lang said is true. I also think that Lin Zhao is just a fame-seeker.”

The young man who came in looked at the disciple with satisfaction and smiled at Xu Lewei: "Ji Wantang has been directly promoted to the top selection by the judges. It is probably Lingtian Pavilion that did this, afraid that Ji Wantang will get more support from cultivators in the lower selection."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lewei's eyes flashed with mockery, "Their behavior will only intensify the cultivators' worship of Ji Wantang."

Ultimately, one must be strong enough to succeed. If they want to promote Lin Zhao, they need to see if Lin Zhao himself is strong enough to be promoted.

After Lin Zhao's prolonged absence, their actions of deliberately diminishing Ji Wantang's brilliance will only make people despise Lin Zhao even more.

Xu Lewei narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Since Lingtian Pavilion wants to push Ji Wantang to go directly to the top selection, shouldn't we, as the opposing side, do something too? Otherwise, people will think that our Diyin Sect is easy to bully."

For many years, Diyinmen has not taken sides. This time, they have taken sides, and Lingtiange wants to challenge them. If they do not retaliate against the other party's actions, wouldn't that make Diyinmen seem easy to bully?
Xu Leqing laughed heartily: "Sister is right, I'll have someone take care of it right away!"

Xu Lewei nodded almost imperceptibly, then looked at the disciple who had reported to her and said, "Take this message to Hehuan Palace and see how they react."

Guangming Hall would naturally oppose Lingtian Pavilion without hesitation. As for Hehuan Palace, although it was able to take sides earlier than Diyin Sect, Hehuan Palace has always been shrewd and cunning.

To put it nicely, it's called knowing how to assess the situation; to put it bluntly, it's being a fence-sitter. Therefore, Xu Lewei had to suppress Hehuan Palace's desire to change sides from the very beginning.

……

The news that Ji Wantang had been directly promoted to the top immediately sparked heated discussions among the cultivators participating in the imperial election.

In an instant, the Heavenly Mirror was filled with mockery and dissatisfaction towards the actions of Lingtian Pavilion and Holy Phoenix Palace.

[Since Ji Wantang has registered for the lower-level selection, shouldn't she be allowed to proceed through the normal process and advance step by step to the upper-level selection? Does the Imperial Election judge think that Ji Wantang's abilities are insufficient to reach the upper-level selection?]

[Those above, stop pretending you don't understand. Aren't they just afraid that Ji Wantang will accumulate too much prestige in the lower and middle selections, overshadowing that commoner princess?]

[To surpass that country bumpkin, does Ji Wantang still need to build up her reputation? Ji Wantang could crush her with a single finger.]

……

With each passing message, the winds of change in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane became increasingly out of control, and under pressure from all sides, the Lingtian Pavilion had no choice but to withdraw this arrangement.

Inside Lingtian Pavilion, Yang Jingjing stared expressionlessly at the comments displayed in the water mirror in front of her on the Tian Tong Mirror Square.

She watched as the comments became increasingly extreme, and with the help of those who had ulterior motives, Lin Zhao could be said to have lost all her reputation.

Cao Yunxuan said, "Do you want our people...?"

"Stop." Yang Jingjing pinched the bridge of her nose. "If we make a move now, we'll just look like a joke."

She sighed heavily: "If... it really doesn't work out, I will do what Ji Wantang did and participate in the next election directly, to stabilize the current situation first."

Cao Yunxuan was shocked: "You are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, your foundation is still shallow, and you are also the young master of Lingtian Pavilion. If Ji Wantang were to target you, what a blow that would be to Lingtian Pavilion! This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Yang Jingjing shook her head: "So you plan to have the younger generation of the Holy Phoenix Palace and the royal family take action? That would be too unseemly."

The strongest among the younger generation of the Holy Phoenix Palace is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator. However, those with this level of cultivation in the younger generation of the Holy Phoenix Palace are definitely capable of ascending to immortality, and their family foundation is not weak either. Knowing that they are definitely no match for Ji Wantang, there is no need for them to risk their lives for Lin Zhao.

If the Holy Phoenix Palace is like this, then the royal family must also have the Prince of Hai, who is deeply in love with Ji Wantang, not to mention...

Each situation is worse than the last.

Cao Yunxuan still didn't support it, saying, "The younger generation of Lingtian Pavilion isn't the strongest in terms of cultivation. Why not let the Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert from Lingtian Pavilion take action?"

"Having reached this level, who among the younger generation of Lingtian Pavilion do you think is my match?"

Cao Yunxuan was speechless.

"If I can't even temporarily stop Ji Wantang's growing power, who else can step in?" Yang Jingjing said, "Let's go. You know I'm determined to go all the way."
