Chapter 409 Elder Yang’s Circumstances!

After Rongrong persuaded the old Patriarch, the old Patriarch decided to call Elder Yang and announced his punishment for the failed mission in Tang Feng City.

Actually, no one cares really about how many people died in Tang Feng City or the massacre of the Feng Royal Family in the Immortal Sword Sect.

The Emperor of Feng Empire and the Feng Royal Family might look impressive in eyes of the normal civilians or the normal people, but they were nothing more than a group of puppets for the Immortal Sword Sect.

They could be easily replaced anytime by Immortal Sword Sect.

If the Feng Emperor or his Feng Royal Family dared to disobey Immortal Sword Sect or they looked unpleasant in the eyes of Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch, the old Patriarch could easily wipe out all of them in an instant and put another person and family, then stick the name of 'Feng Emperor' and 'Feng Royal Family' to them.

All of those people might be replaceable, but Elder Yang should at least caught all the culprits of those massacre incidents and brought them back to Immortal Sword Sect, so the Patriarch and the Elders from Immortal Sword Sect could punish and torment the culprits in front of the mass to warn anyone who dares to challenge Immortal Sword Sect's authority.

Unfortunately, Elder Yang failed to catch the culprits of those incidents, and it would certainly ruin the Immortal Sword Sect's prestige to some extent.

It was the same as the police department in Tang Li Xue's previous world that failed to catch the serial killer after he killed so many people, and it would certainly make the citizens lost some trust in the police department.

If even the citizens lost their trust in the police department, then it also means many criminals would dare to do misdeed openly since they were no longer afraid of the police department.

Moreover, Immortal Sword Sect already took 70% to 80% of all their vassals' cultivation resources under the pretext to guarantee their safety even from Feng Empire's subjugation.

So, Immortal Sword Sect should at least do something to make them feel safe and protected, right?

If Immortal Sword Sect lost its prestige in front of these vassals, no one could tell if they would band together to oppose Immortal Sword Sect later.

Those were the reasons why quite many of the elders from the Immortal Sword Sect stated that Elder Yang was still too young and unfit yet to become the candidate of Immortal Sword Sect's young Patriarch.

Of course, it was also because those elders have hidden motives like they already supported the other people to take Patriarch position and only used Elder Yang's first failure to kick him when he was down.

Elder Yang was not the only one that was a genius in Lightwind Continent after all.

There were many others geniuses that Immortal Sword Sect already nurtured since they were very young to take the role of the future young Patriarch.

All of those young geniuses possessed their own superiority over others.

Rainbow Radiant Physique, Sword Heart Intent, Yin and Yang Eyes, Golden Sun Daoist Physique, and so on.

There were also several middle-aged elders that have high ambition and already planned to take the throne of the Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch a long time ago.

The competition for the Patriarch's Crown of the strongest sect in Lightwind Continent was actually very fierce and cruel beyond anyone's imagination.

Compared to reality, the novels and movies that Tang Li Xue had read and seen in her previous life were nothing more than the child's tales.

But despite all of their best efforts and the amount of blood they had been spilled until now, the most beloved great-granddaughter suddenly brought back a man one day, and the old Patriarch crowned him as the young Patriarch of Immortal Sword Sect one month later.

Even though they already acknowledged Elder Yang's talent in cultivation after they saw his cultivation level, but not all of them could just simply accept that he was really better or superior to them.

Those people started to look for observing everything Elder Yang do and trying to find his weakness, but Elder Yang was simply too perfect for them to topple.

Of course, Elder Yang was not actually that perfect, but he was the former young Patriarch from Asura Demon Sect after all.

With his rich experience as the former young Patriarch of the Asura Demon Sect, he could easily avoid making any mistake and appear to look perfect in front of others.

He was very sure that these people from the virtuous sect could never match the level of cunningness of his uncle, Mo Chonglin.

Meanwhile, Elder Yang himself could stand on equal ground without losing to Mo Chonglin for several years despite his lack of experience and support. It was already more than enough to show his high IQ and peerless talent.

Right now, Elder Yang received his punishment to copy 10,000 martial art manuals in the library from the old Patriarch without complaining.

The old Patriarch looked that Elder Yang seems gloomy and down, so he tried to encourage him a bit: "You do not need to feel so frustrated about this. One or two failures are completely normal since it means that you still have something to learn. It is good enough to know your mistake and try to fix it as soon as possible."

Elder Yang bowed his head a bit and politely saluted to old Patriarch: "I understand. Patriarch, thank you for your advice and leniency."

The old Patriarch waved his hand and told Elder Yang, then drove him out from the room: "All right, you can go to the library right now to receive your punishment. Oh, Rongrong seems to really miss you. You can go to meet her first before you go to the library."

After went out from the old Patriarch's place, Elder Yang sighed.

Of course, he did not sigh or felt down because of his failure in Tang Feng City like what the old Patriarch had thought.

Elder Yang felt gloomy because he was trapped in this current situation because of his urge to avenge the death of Xiao Bai and his father.

But right now, his Xiao Bai was still alive, and his urge for revenge diminished greatly.

It was not like that he did not want to avenge his father, but he did not even that close to his father.

Elder Yang's father was always busy taking care of the sect, raising his cultivation, and training his martial arts.

He even rarely interacted with Elder Yang when Elder Yang was still a little child. Nor did he ever have time to celebrate Elder Yang's birthday before.

Elder Yang doubted that his father even knew his birthday, or maybe his father simply did not care about it at all.

It was a sad truth, but Elder Yang's feeling for his father was actually much lesser than his feeling for his Xiao Bai.

Blinded by extreme hatred to Mo Chonglin and his urge to avenge his Xiao Bai's death, Elder Yang deliberately leaked the information about the most beloved great-granddaughter of Immortal Sword Sect's old Patriarch that secretly sneaked out from the Immortal Sword Sect and came to sightseeing in Tang Feng City.

This information attracted the attention of all the Immortal Sword Sect's enemies for sure, especially the fellow from four evil sects.

Elder Yang actually managed to get this information after exhausted so many efforts, resources, and manpower.

At first, he planned to abduct Rongrong and used her to threaten Immortal Sword Sect when he was still the Young Patriarch from Asura Demon Sect.

But after he was kicked out from Asura Demon Sect, he changed his mind and used this information to bait the people from four evil sects to attack Rongrong, then at the most crucial moment, he suddenly appeared and saved Rongrong from those people.

His handsome appearance, his high cultivation, and his heroic bearing managed to make Rongrong fell madly in love with him at the first sight.

Then Elder Yang cleverly used Rongrong's adoration to him and managed to persuade her to bring him back to Immortal Sword Sect.

Through his connection with Rongrong, Elder Yang also managed to forge the connection with the old Patriarch, Rongrong's parents, and many important higher-ups in the Immortal Sword Sect which finally awarded him the title of Young Patriarch Candidate.

Of course, those people did not give that position for free! How could they give such an important position to a new outsider like Elder Yang?!

The answer for that was because Elder Yang already engaged Rongrong first before he got that position.

The old Patriarch, Rongrong's parents, and many other people actually opposed this at first, but Rongrong was already madly in love with Elder Yang that she already almost lost her mind.

She even threatened to commit suicide if her parents, the old Patriarch, and the other elders dared to oppose their relationship.

Of course, Elder Yang also acted as if he was madly in love with Rongrong too at that time.

He even expressed that he was willing to die together with Rongrong if their relationship was not approved by Rongrong's parents, the old Patriarch, and the other elders.

Elder Yang's statement fueled Rongrong's madness to the point that she really almost committed suicide.

Finally, Rongrong's parents, the old Patriarch, and the other elders did not have any other choice and decided to approve their relationship.

Thankfully, Elder Yang was not useless trash that could only become a leech to Rongrong.

Because he was very talented and have really high cultivation at his young age, the old Patriarch also decided to push him to become the candidate of Young Patriarch.

Elder yang was actually quite close to his objective of using the Immortal Sword Sect to destroy the Asura Demon Sect, but after he managed to find out the fact that his Xiao Bai was actually still alive, he suddenly felt that he was making a big mistake.

Yes, his biggest mistake was that he already engaged with Rongrong, and Rongrong was fall madly in love with him to the point that she could no longer live without him.

It was in his plan to make Rongrong like that at first, but he was regretting it very much now.

With Rongrong fell in love so deeply with him like that, how could he approach his Xiao Bai too right now?

So what if he managed to get close with his Xiao Bai? What he would do then? Marry her?

Would Rongrong kind enough to even let him approach any other girl beside her?

Of course, Elder Yang really wanted to cancel his engagement with Rongrong so badly, but how could he do it so easily after he was already gone this far?!

Rongrong's parents, the old Patriarch, and all the elders from Immortal Sword Sect would certainly skin him alive if he dared to even mention it.
