Chapter 225: Election Crisis

Lu Tianyu added, "In the future, do not act like this in front of outsiders; just address me as Young Master Lu."

Outsiders know that Ghost Saint Evil One is a member of the Luofeng Sect, but they all believe Lu Tianyu is Ghost Saint Evil One's disciple.

Outsiders do not know that Old Mo and Dongfang Shu are members of the Luofeng Sect.

Lu Tianyu feared that if this matter spread, it would be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

After all, when resisting the Demon Race back then, the people of the Luofeng Sect did not step forward.

It was not that they did not step forward to resist, but that the ancestral precept established by the Eternal Empress when she founded the Luofeng Sect was to not participate in any disputes.

The people of the Luofeng Sect firmly adhere to the ancestral precept and do not participate in competition with any sect.

"This old servant is a member of the Luofeng Sect, and I will follow all arrangements made by the Sect Master!"

Only then did Lao Mo stand up, staring into Lu Tianyu's eyes: "Sect Master, no, Young Master Lu."

"Our Luofeng Sect's First Senior Brother, who is also the Dean of the Changheng Academy, has been missing for over a thousand years without a trace. How does Young Master Lu think we should proceed?"

He had investigated Lu Tianyu's deeds, but he never expected that the person the Changheng Great Emperor had instructed must be recruited into the Academy was actually the Sect Master of the Luofeng Sect.

He knew Lu Tianyu's combat power was heaven-defying, and he said this to test Lu Tianyu's intentions.

How could Lu Tianyu not know Lao Mo's intentions: "I just told Senior Dongfang that I have already found some traces of the Changheng Great Emperor and obtained a map passed down by the Great Emperor; I estimate there will be news soon."

"Once we get the news, we will immediately rush to the location to see if we can rescue the Changheng Great Emperor."

"However, we cannot hold too much hope; the Changheng Great Emperor must have entered some dangerous place unknown to us."

There are many dangerous places in the Tianhe Galaxy.

The Changheng Great Emperor is invincible among his peers and can even kill enemies across cultivation realms.

Even he could not get out after entering a dangerous place, so this dangerous place must be extraordinary, and whether he can be saved remains an unknown.

Upon hearing this, Lao Mo was overjoyed: "As long as there is news, that is enough."

"I contacted the Changheng Great Emperor a while ago; his condition is not very good, but it seems there is no immediate danger to his life."

"Young Master Lu is truly a lucky star for us."

His voice was somewhat agitated.

He and Dongfang Shu had searched for so many years without finding him, not even a single trace.

They had finally managed to contact the Changheng Great Emperor, but the Changheng Great Emperor did not disclose his whereabouts, likely because he felt it was too dangerous and did not want Lao Mo and Dongfang Shu to risk coming.

But how could Lao Mo and Dongfang Shu give up?

Now that Lu Tianyu, this new Sect Master, had appeared and suddenly provided a clue, how could he not be happy?

Moreover, Lu Tianyu had also found another heavyweight figure of the Luofeng Sect, Ghost Saint Evil One.

If nothing goes wrong, the Luofeng Sect is about to rise again.

Lu Tianyu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Great World Struggle will begin in one hundred years; our path ahead will be very difficult, so do not place too much hope in me."

"Let us first resolve the current problem."

"Now, our faction is left with only the two of you. Tian Vice Dean and Murong Vice Dean have joined forces; what about the other Vice Deans?"

Just now, he and Dongfang Shu only discussed the issue regarding Tian Vice Dean and did not mention the other Vice Deans.

Lao Mo let out a long sigh: "Currently, there are five Vice Deans in the Changheng Academy: Tian Vice Dean, Murong Vice Dean, Su Vice Dean, Guan Vice Dean, plus Dean Dongfang, totaling five."

"Tian Vice Dean, Murong Vice Dean, and Guan Vice Dean are all people from Tian Vice Dean's faction."

"Su Vice Dean remains neutral and does not help either side."

Dongfang Shu added: "Murong Vice Dean is a member of the Murong family and has ties to the Longyue Sect; Su Vice Dean is a member of the Yaochi Sect."

"Guan Vice Dean is a member of the Qixing Sect."

"The reason I gave you the Vice Dean's Token is because, originally, the Changheng Academy had six Vice Deans. Later, that Vice Dean was killed, and I kept the token and never gave it out; this position has been vacant for many years."

"I gave you this token because I feared Tian Vice Dean would vote to kick me out. If my master does not return to preside over the big picture, then the Changheng Academy will fall into the hands of the Huanhe Heavenly Sect."

"We have at least two votes; as long as we win over Su Vice Dean of the Yaochi Sect, we can contend with them."

Lu Tianyu frowned slightly: "They can win if they have more votes? Who set this rule?"

"What if the elders of the Yaochi Sect are won over by them?"

"We offended them today, so they must have already started plotting this matter."

"If my guess is correct, once the matter of the Yaoshou Senlin ends, they will likely make their move."

Upon hearing this, Lao Mo looked bitter: "Young Master Lu is sharp-minded and immediately thought of the key point."

"This rule was set by the Changheng Great Emperor; one of the clauses is that if he is not here, a vote must be held."

"Originally, Murong Vice Dean was on our side, but I do not know what methods Tian Vice Dean used to pull him over."

"Su Vice Dean of the Yaochi Sect is not easy to win over; the Yaochi Sect has a deep background and has connections with sects in the Zhongyang Xingyu."

"After this selection, Tian Vice Dean will definitely unite with others to make a move, and our only hope at present is to find the Changheng Great Emperor, but that is not possible in the short term."

Speaking of this, his expression turned dim: "The Changheng Great Emperor entrusted the Changheng Academy to me, but I am powerless."

"If the Changheng Academy falls into the hands of villains, the entire Changheng Star Domain will be ruined, sigh!"

Dongfang Shu also sighed lightly: "I also bear the greatest responsibility; it is I who failed to win over Murong Vice Dean."

Lao Mo and Dongfang Shu were both very helpless.

They had made their best efforts after the fact, but unfortunately, they failed, and they did not know what to do.

Lu Tianyu relaxed his brow: "There are still ten days until the Yaoshou Senlin opens; we still have time."

"In five days, take me to see Su Vice Dean to see if we can win her over."

"Help me find a place; I need to go into seclusion for five days. During this time, you two find out what moves Tian Vice Dean's side is making."

"Collect all information on the Yaochi Sect in these few days and give it to me when I come out of seclusion."

Lao Mo and Dongfang Shu bowed and cupped their fists: "It will be done!"

"Young Master Lu, please follow me!"

Lao Mo brought Lu Tianyu to the place where he rested and took out a Storage Ring, "I still have some resources here; if you need them, Young Master, feel free to take them all!"

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "There is no need for that. Just help me collect top-grade materials for Body Refining; I do not need anything else."

He had the Storage Rings of four Great Vehicle Stage cultivators in his possession, along with quite a few resources plundered from the Nether Sect, so he was not lacking in the slightest.

Once Lao Mo left, Lu Tianyu sat cross-legged and adjusted his state to the best condition.

Swish!

A small cauldron appeared in Lu Tianyu's hand; it was none other than the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.

This period of seclusion was to make preparations before entering the Yaoshou Senlin.
