Chapter 1517: Chapters 1464-1465 Pang Hong Worries About Retreating Intentions_2 Chapter 1517: Chapters 1464-1465 Pang Hong Worries About Retreating Intentions_2 Balancing out the Jade Emperor was a matter all the strong had agreed upon, so their Shenxiao Sect's intervention this time represented not only themselves but also other parties.
If anyone dared to go against the will of the strong at this time by aiding the Jade Emperor, it wasn't just opposing the Shenxiao Lineage, but also many immortal sects and True Immortals.
Just imagine, even if they helped the Jade Emperor seize the Great Law Decree Technique and he grew stronger, the True Immortal Strong would have to confront him directly to maintain the balance in the Divine Land World, for the greater good of the Heavenly Court. However, they would definitely punish those who aided and abetted him.
After all, they chose to hold back for the greater good, and the rage in their hearts, unable to be released, must find an outlet. To them, those who aided and abetted are the perfect targets.
“And even if they don't worry about the other immortal sect True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, would they dare go against a Taoist Monarch's will?” Yu Zhenzi said disdainfully.
Among the Divine Continent, there were many Taoist Monarch-level powerhouses, but typically, other Taoist Monarchs would carry a title with their name. As for the one who does not bear a title, there is only one referred to– the first to be honored with the Taoist Monarch title, the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
With Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's strength, he might stand a chance against other Taoist Monarchs, but when truly facing the Longevity Taoist Monarch, he would have absolutely no right to resist.
Unlike others, this Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had personally witnessed the horror of the Taoist Monarch, even having crossed hands or rather taken guidance from an incarnation of the Taoist Monarch.
With such an experience, Yu Zhenzi believed the Taoist Monarch had left a deep impression in his heart, one that had not faded. Could such a person harbor thoughts of betrayal?
Yu Zhenzi didn't think he possessed such audacity.
The Jade Emperor could plot against Shen Xiao because of his status and some mentor-mentee affection with the Taoist Monarch, knowing that the Taoist Monarch didn't care about these matters. Yet, even so, what he coveted was only part of the authority in the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, never daring to touch even a hair of the Shenxiao Lineage's interests.
Without any backing, if the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder truly dared to conspire against the Shenxiao Lineage, then annihilation awaited him, with no alternative outcome, because he wasn't worth the Taoist Monarch's mercy.
“In that case, let's proceed as Uncle-Master advised. After all, Uncle-Master will look after everything, so I won't need to worry too much,” Pang Hong was undoubtedly convinced by Yu Zhenzi.
After all, Pang Hong might not have cared or might have been suspicious if Yu Zhenzi had used other reasons to persuade him. But once his master was brought into it, he had no grounds to refute.
In Pang Hong's heart, his master was invincible; in the vast Chaos Void, no one could stand against his master, and he did not believe anyone would dare rebel after witnessing his master's strength.
If someone did dare, Pang Hong would not be angry; in fact, he would admire them, even if it meant he had misjudged them, it wouldn't count for much.
“Sect Leader can rest assured; I will watch over everything, and there will be no accidents,” Yu Zhenzi also said seriously.
In this moment, he used the title of Sect Leader, speaking with the identity belonging to a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect to Pang Hong, which is giving a promise as an elder of the Shenxiao Sect. This was akin to setting a military order.
“Uncle-Master, there's no need for all this,” Pang Hong waved his hands repeatedly.
He had merely wanted to make Yu Zhenzi worry, not to put him in such a state. No matter what, Yu Zhenzi was an elder of the Shenxiao Sect who had conquered territories alongside his master and had the grace of imparting knowledge and resolving doubts.
Even if the Shenxiao Sect's rules were strict, as the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, Pang Hong would not be so harsh on his uncle; the law gives way to sentiment, and as one of the few True Immortals of Shenxiao Sect, he already had the right to nominate candidates and push forward certain matters.
Even if he failed, it didn't necessarily mean he had to pay a price, after all, a True Immortal inherently had certain special privileges.
“I raised the issue myself, so naturally I must lead by example, otherwise being the Sect Leader would be difficult,” said Yu Zhenzi, shaking his head.
He was aware that as a True Immortal, he held special rights; even in the event of failure, he wouldn't be punished, because within the Shenxiao Sect, only the Taoist Monarch and Pang Hong had the authority to discipline him.
However, this matter was of great importance in the eyes of others, but to the Taoist Monarch, it was insignificant and nothing to fret over. Even if the Jade Emperor gained influence, the Taoist Monarch could suppress it with a flick of his hand, so there was no way the Taoist Monarch would punish him for this.
And Pang Hong was his own disciple; unless he made some unforgivable mistake, it was impossible for him to get reprimanded over this kind of thing.
But indulgence aside, in his position, he couldn't afford to be arrogant simply because no one could punish him; he had to be even more cautious and prudent with his words and actions.
After all, he was Pang Hong's supporter; he had to set a good example, especially since various factions started emerging as the Shenxiao Sect grew stronger. Although they also obeyed the Shenxiao Token, their views on dividing interests were not always uniform.
With so many people in the Shenxiao Sect, it was inevitable that there would be a variety of thoughts and interests. Even with Pang Hong in his position, it was impossible to accommodate everyone's needs.
He could only strive to ensure fairness as he saw it, but his perception of fairness was relative. Each person had different ideas, and what was fair to some could be unjust to others.
As a result, various factions and power groups began to form within the Shenxiao Sect over time, uniting to fight for their interests and vie for authority.
The Taoist Monarch never intervened in such matters, leaving Pang Hong to deal with them himself. But he couldn't use his status as a True Immortal to pressure others, as it would do more harm than good. Appropriate competition, instead, was what kept the Shenxiao Sect vibrant and thriving.
Therefore, Pang Hong had to be beyond reproach when dealing with all parties, otherwise, he wouldn't qualify to admonish others.
And as Pang Hong's biggest supporter, it was natural for Yu Zhenzi to also maintain a blameless reputation, so as not to affect Pang Hong.
“You have my gratitude, Uncle-Master,” Pang Hong sighed with appreciation, understanding the effort his uncle-master had put in for his sake.
To be honest, he too was feeling somewhat worn out. After so many years of leading the Shenxiao Sect, and with the sect's constant growth, the responsibilities had become overwhelming. Even as a True Immortal, he sometimes felt that he was stretched too thin.
At times, he thought that without the help of several uncle-masters to share his worries and resolve many issues, he might have even neglected his own cultivation.
“Actually, I've been considering finding a suitable successor to hand over the position of Sect Leader of Shenxiao,” Pang Hong confided to Yu Zhenzi, sharing a long-held thought. “After all, I've been in this position for too long; it's time for someone new to take over, so I may spend more time cultivating.”
This idea of his wasn't a sudden whim, but one he'd pondered for a while before voicing.
The primary reason was that the many affairs of the Shenxiao Sect indeed started to affect his cultivation, which was the most crucial point.
Furthermore, Pang Hong wasn't attached to the position or authority of Sect Leader. Even though others might view it as a top-ten power position in the Divine Continent, enviable even by many True Immortals, he held no such fondness.
He simply didn't care about the power and never felt it was an indispensable part of his life.
