Chapter 1475

On Jin Ao Island, the disciples were greatly surprised.

"In the Jie Sect, Master Duobao has always been the foremost—why has the Master entrusted these affairs to Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao?"

The four chief disciples of the Jie Sect are Duobao Dao Ren, Jin Ling Sheng Mu, Wu Dang Sheng Mu, and Gui Ling Sheng Mu.

Although Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming are powerful, they are not at the core of the Jie Sect and remain outside its power structure.

The disciples' impression of Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming was this—they were strong in cultivation base, but showed little interest in Jie Sect affairs, never delved into them, had few close friends, and only appeared when the Master gave sermons; otherwise, they devoted themselves to solitary cultivation.

To disciples who thrived on forming cliques, this was outright bizarre.

"Even if not Master Duobao, it should have been Sister Jin Ling or Sister Wu Dang!"

"Stop chattering. The Master has issued a divine edict—we obey."

"That's true. Yunxiao's and Zhao Gongming's cultivation base and strength are among the very top in the Jie Sect—they can command respect."

Some followers around the four chief disciples were puzzled.

But the other disciples held deep faith in Tongtian's divine edict.

At this time, the Jie Sect still enjoyed the momentum of myriad immortals paying homage; no traitors within had yet developed ulterior motives.

On the surface, the Jie Sect remained as solid as a single slab.

Tongtian's divine edict was still highly effective.

"Brother, what do we do?" Yunxiao watched Tongtian depart, her expression turning utterly exasperated. "The Master has left this mess to us."

In the past, Zhao Gongming would not have minded, nor would he have thought the Jie Sect was a mess.

The Jie Sect? Strength was all that mattered.

But having read the Investiture of the Gods, Zhao Gongming could easily spot the Jie Sect's flaws.

Factions everywhere, unrestrained behavior, uneven quality…

All these problems meant that even without external forces, the sect would eventually split apart on its own.

"This truly is a mess!" Zhao Gongming nodded lightly. "But with our strength, we can still sort it out. Summon Master Duobao and the others for a council—the Jie Sect can't remain this way any longer."
