Chapter 156: Changing Ownership, Factional Struggle
Ji Haoyuan knew that by saying these words, he might inadvertently offend the Beichen Zhenren mentioned by the other party, as well as his disciple Qianyue Zhenren.

Even Pang Yitong, standing right in front of him, might harbor resentment towards him.

After all, she hadn't given him a way out, which only made his current situation more passive.

After all, Master Leixia wasn't stupid; how could she not see through his little scheme?

so what?

Even if it's a sin, so what?
When cultivators cultivate, no matter what kind of cultivation resources they obtain, they always have to compete, fight, or even kill with others.

Every single time, I've come through either offending someone or being offended by someone.
Ultimately, the resources of this world are finite.

If you get more, he will get less.

If you're always worried about this or that, afraid of offending people, then you might as well not cultivate at all.

But the question is, if you keep giving in, will you definitely be able to create peace and tranquility?
not necessarily!

What's more.

He, Ji Haoyuan, is not without support.

Not to mention Xuan Yuan Zhenjun, who recruited him into the Yanfa Sect, how could Lei Xia Zhenren, who was by his side, be easy to mess with?
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Master Leixia's face.

However, that slight smile quickly vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

She stared intently at Pang Yitong with her beautiful eyes and slowly said:
“Junior Brother Pang, if I remember correctly, if a cultivator in the sect dies, his or her direct relatives and disciples have the right to dispose of his cave dwelling or spiritual peak within a certain period of time.”

If I'm not mistaken, based on the specific timeline, the right to dispose of my Daoist partner, True Person Yunshang's, Tiantai Peak, should still be in my hands.

how?

Are you making decisions for me?

These words were undoubtedly a fatal blow to Pang Yitong.

His chubby face immediately turned pale.

A hint of fear unconsciously flickered in his eyes.

"Um, Senior Sister Lei Xia, I...I..."

However, before Pang Yitong could finish speaking, Master Leixia interrupted him directly.

"Okay, I don't want to hear your explanation now."

Wait a moment, go to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments to receive your punishment.

But before that, you need to change the ownership of Tiantai Peak to my junior brother Ji's name.

"This, this, this..."

Pang Yitong could no longer maintain the cold sweat on his face.

He knew that the person in front of him, Master Leixia, was one of the leaders of the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

If I go there, do you think the cultivators in charge will be polite to me?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked to Ji Haoyuan for help.

However, at this point, how could Ji Haoyuan possibly heed his plea for help?
I just pretended not to see it.

This caused the light in Pang Yitong's eyes to dim instantly.

At the same time, deep in his heart, a strange hatred arose towards Ji Haoyuan.

However, he did not show his true intentions on the surface. Instead, he followed the instructions of Master Leixia and revised the ownership of Tiantai Peak, assigning it to Ji Haoyuan.

As a result, he not only failed to gain favor with Ji Haoyuan and Master Leixia, but also offended Master Beichen and his disciple Master Qianyue.

He was caught in the middle, disliked by both sides.

But who can be blamed for this?
You have to bear the consequences of your own actions.

Ignoring the grief-stricken Pang Yitong, Master Leixia led Ji Haoyuan directly out of the Affairs Hall and headed towards Tiantai Peak.

“Senior Brother Beichen, the relationship between his faction and ours is not very good. So you don’t need to worry too much about whether this matter will offend him.”

On the way, he heard Master Leixia explain to Ji Haoyuan.

This immediately made Ji Haoyuan realize something.

The claim that the relationship between the two factions is merely average is probably a polite way of putting it.

The real truth is that the relationship between the two factions is probably quite bad.

Otherwise, given the other party's status, it's impossible that they wouldn't know the true situation of Tiantai Peak that day.

However, the truth is that the other party did not take these things into consideration.

This alone is enough to illustrate the point.

really.

When a power or organization grows large, factional struggles are inevitable.

Even a powerful Nascent Soul sect like the Yanfa Sect, which has a history of ten thousand years, cannot avoid such things.

As if sensing Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Master Leixia suddenly sighed softly.

"To be honest, the relationship between our faction and the faction that Senior Brother Beichen and the others belong to is indeed not good."

Especially after the fall of my grandmaster, True Lord Tianxu, the pillar of our faction, the faction led by Senior Brother Beichen has become increasingly aggressive and has begun to constantly squeeze our faction's living space.

"So, Senior Sister, you want to use this incident to launch a counterattack against Senior Brother Beichen, or rather, against his faction?"

Ji Haoyuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

"indeed so."

Then Master Leixia nodded.

"However, from now on, Junior Brother Ji, you may be passively labeled as belonging to my department."

If they want to target people in my faction in the future, you may also become their target.

Having said that, a hint of apology was clearly visible on Lei Xia Zhenren's face.

Originally, she wanted to secure a decent third-tier spirit peak for Ji Haoyuan.

But who would have thought that things would take such an unexpected turn?

This matter concerns factional struggles, conflicts of interest, and clashes of stances. Even if Master Leixia wanted to back down, it was simply impossible for her.

Ji Haoyuan was certainly well aware of this.

In fact.

From the moment he decided to become a guest elder of the Yanfa Sect, he was already, in fact, labeled as belonging to the faction of Master Leixia.

Unless he is willing to come forward and publicly prove that he has no relationship with Lei Xia and the others.

But how could he possibly do something like that?

In an environment that values ​​factions, taking sides and maintaining a stance are always the most important things.

Even if you choose to remain neutral, it is still a stance, a choice, and a decision.

They will still be labeled accordingly.

and so.

Since no matter what you do or what you choose, you can't avoid taking sides and having a stance, why not choose the faction of Master Leixia and the one with whom you have the deepest relationship?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he saw Ji Haoyuan shake his head with a nonchalant smile.

"It's alright. Since it concerns interests, we should fight for them. Senior sister, you don't need to take it to heart. In the future, it will simply be a matter of each relying on their own methods and strength."
