Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 181 The Future of Qingyun Sect
Qingyun Gate, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Hall.

The day after Zhang Xiaofan returned to Qingyun Sect, he received a summons from Dao Xuan Zhenren, who entrusted him with the entire matter of the Western Death Swamp.

At this moment, a group of young people were sitting in the Jade Purity Hall. They were all outstanding members of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect and the future of the sect.

Among the crowd, Zhang Xiaofan was the most unique, as he was the only one sitting in the head seat, while the other disciples were seated on either side. After all, Zhang Xiaofan was the only one in the head seat and also an elder of the Punishment Hall, while the others were still just disciples.

At the same time, only Zhang Xiaofan was wearing the special attire representing the chief elder. Although other disciples were not required to wear disciple attire, they could not overstep their bounds.

Inside the Jade Purity Hall, all the wise and virtuous gathered, and the outstanding disciples of the entire Qingyun Sect were present in this hall, which symbolized the orthodoxy of the Qingyun Sect's Taoist tradition.

Xiao Yicai and Chang Jian from Changmen, Zhang Xiaofan (the leader of Longshou Peak), Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao from Longshou Peak, Zeng Shushu from Fenghui Peak, Song Daren from Dazhu Peak, Lu Xueqi and Wen Min from Xiaozhu Peak are all representative figures from their respective branches.

Inside the main hall, after everyone had gathered, all eyes were on Zhang Xiaofan, including Xiao Yicai, who was being groomed by the sect leader, Dao Xuan Zhenren, to be the next sect leader.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, you are all probably already aware of the news that a rare treasure has been discovered deep within the Western Death Swamp."

Over the years, he has been managing many affairs of the Qingyun Sect, which has gradually made Zhang Xiaofan more talkative.

Lu Xueqi, dressed in a plain long dress, pursed her lips slightly, looking at Zhang Xiaofan without saying a word, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of resentment.

Zhang Xiaofan's gaze lingered on Lu Xueqi for a moment, then he avoided her gaze and spoke softly.

"Just now, my senior master summoned me and told me that we are in charge of making decisions regarding the emergence of this Western treasure. My senior master, along with the other senior masters and elders, will remain at the mountain gate."

"Hehe, does that mean you, the real person, make all the decisions?"

Such a tone naturally came from Zeng Shushu's mouth. Zeng Shushu winked and made funny faces at Zhang Xiaofan, and his funny appearance instantly made the originally serious atmosphere disappear.

Zhang Xiaofan's originally serious expression softened with a faint smile as he responded.

"Does the sect leader mean that we should make the decision together? Senior Brother Zeng, do you have any good ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shushu quickly waved his hand. He was a lazy person who didn't like to get involved in things. If it weren't for his father keeping him in check, Zeng Shushu wouldn't want to get involved in the affairs of Feng Hui Peak.

After all, although Feng Hui Peak is not as outstanding as Xiao Zhu Peak, Da Zhu Peak, and Long Shou Peak, it is not bad either. At least it is much better than Luo Xia Peak and Chao Yang Peak, which are in a period of transition.

Besides the genius Zeng Shushu, there are other talented disciples like Peng Chang within the peak.

In addition, although Zhang Xiaofan resides on Dragon Head Peak in recent years, he also serves as an elder of the Punishment Hall. He often preaches in the Punishment Hall and teaches the Qingyun disciples the art of punishment, which has greatly improved the strength of the disciples from all branches.

Therefore, Peng Chang and the others were all quite capable, and with their considerable prestige within the peak, they were able to manage some affairs.

If it weren't for Zeng Shuchang's personal supervision, Zeng Shushu would have definitely left the matter to Peng Chang and others, and then lived a carefree life.

"You know me well, I'll listen to whatever you say, hehe!"

Although Zeng Shushu was somewhat unconventional, he didn't dare to address Zhang Xiaofan by his full name without respect. One reason was that Zeng Shushu himself respected him greatly, and another was that if Uncle Zeng found out, he would really beat him up personally.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, please feel free to speak your minds. This time, as we descend the mountain, we must work together to deal with the Demonic Sect's plans." This descent is actually a test for Xiao Yicai, Lu Xueqi, and even Zhang Xiaofan by Dao Xuan Zhenren and the other leaders.

Having reached the level of highly accomplished individuals like Dao Xuan Zhenren, and especially after experiencing the events surrounding Cangsong Daoren, they have come to have a very open-minded view of worldly affairs.

Even if their cultivation and abilities are higher than those of disciples like Qi Hao and Song Daren, they are already old, and the Qingyun Sect will eventually be handed over to these disciples.

Therefore, Dao Xuan Zhenren and the others entrusted this matter entirely to Zhang Xiaofan and his group, without interfering at all, as a way to give Zhang Xiaofan and his group some experience.

After all, when they become sect leaders or chief disciples in the future, we can't ask them about everything.

Zhang Xiaofan, on the other hand, was chosen by Dao Xuan Zhenren as the future swordsman of the Qingyun Sect, responsible for stepping up and taking charge at crucial moments.

"Since the real person has spoken, then I'll say a few words first."

Seeing that none of the other junior brothers and sisters had spoken, Xiao Yicai took the initiative to speak.

"The Western Great Swamp is the territory of the Longevity Hall, one of the four major sects of the Demonic Cult. You all know this. In addition, there is another very important point: there are many poisonous insects there. Therefore, the sect we must be most careful of is the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, one of the four major sects!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao nodded, his expression becoming more serious, and added in a deep voice.

"Among them, the one we should be most careful of is Qin Wuyan of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. This person is known as the Little Poison God. He was the disciple most valued by the Poison God back then. He has inherited all the Poison God's true teachings in poison techniques and should not be underestimated."

Although Lin Jingyu didn't speak, he nodded in agreement. The other disciples, such as Song Daren and Wen Min, also understood the secret, and their expressions immediately became more serious.

Within the Qingyun Sect, some secrets are not considered secrets to these future core leaders of the Qingyun Sect.

Zhang Xiaofan looked around and, seeing that no one had anything to say, spoke again in a deep voice.

"Besides that, we also need to be careful of the foreign tribes in the southern borderlands!"

Wen Min, Song Daren, and the others all looked at Zhang Xiaofan with curiosity, while Xiao Yicai asked softly.

"But aren't the foreign tribes of the Southern Frontier guarded by the Incense Valley?"

"Although Fenxiang Valley is called the righteous path, it has never had any conflict with the Demonic Sect, which is very strange. In addition, the Southern Frontier is adjacent to the western wilderness where the Demonic Sect is located. Now that the Demonic Sect has made a comeback, it is at peace with the Demonic Sect. It is possible that they are secretly colluding."

Zhang Xiaofan said in a deep voice, and Zeng Shushu, Qi Hao and the others' expressions also became more serious.

"Furthermore, the Three Wonderful Fairies of the Hehuan Sect intend to abandon darkness and embrace the light. The message she sent indicates that the Burning Incense Valley and Wanrenwang seem to have some connection. Therefore, everyone should be careful!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. They had no doubt about Zhang Xiaofan's words.

"Yes, it's a real person!"

"In addition, if you encounter disciples of the Hehuan Sect, you should not hold back and try not to leave any openings."
