It wasn't difficult to be emotionless. If one wasn't aroused by emotions and comprehended the Intellectual Sword, then one wouldn't have feelings, so it wasn't impossible to be emotionless.
However, it was difficult to be emotionless. One had to be emotionless before being emotionless, and the deeper the better. This wasn't a problem because it was just as Mo Wanqing had said, people were born with emotions.
However, it just so happened that one had to be ruthless enough to sever these emotions after having emotions. This wasn't something an ordinary person could accomplish. One didn't forget emotions after being emotionless, and one's memories were still clear. If one didn't comprehend the Dao of Emotionlessness deeply, then one would go mad.
However, a person that was truly capable of being emotionless was terrifying. At that level, even if they were husband and wife the day before yesterday, and their feelings were as deep as the ocean, they could kill just like that the next day, and it was the same for family and friendship.
Perhaps such a person was still confiding in you a moment ago, yet they could take your life in the next moment.
Such a person was suitable to be an assassin and the leader of a power. However, they couldn't be friends, let alone become Dao Companions.
However, the Sovereign Sect wanted a Sect Master, a Sect Master that could lead the Sovereign Sect to glory. If Mo Wanqing was truly capable of being emotionless, then she was the most suitable candidate for the Sect Master of the Sovereign Sect.
Right at this moment, the Grand Elder that hadn't spoken since the beginning said, "Yes, Wanqing has already comprehended the Dao of Emotionlessness, and she's opened up a new path for the Sovereign Sect. The position of Sect Master belongs to her, and she only has to temper herself a little before she'll be qualified for the position."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was very obvious that the Grand Elder was standing on Mo Wanqing's side, and Luo Yutong's scheme to instigate a rebellion had failed.
Even the strongest Grand Elder supported Mo Wanqing, so how could the others be useless against her?
They'd originally come together to suppress Luo Yutong, and they'd already reached a consensus on this.
Even if they'd wavered under Luo Yutong's instigation, they'd reached a consensus once more now that the Grand Elder had spoken.
"The Dao of Emotionlessness!"
Luo Yutong looked into Mo Wanqing's eyes and said with a smile, "You want to kill your Master?"
"I do. You're a sinner of the Sovereign Sect, so killing you isn't considered to be going against righteousness. I'll still place righteousness before family!"
Mo Wanqing didn't hide her thoughts in the slightest. If she handled this matter beautifully, then she would be putting righteousness before family. No one would say anything about her, and she would instead receive everyone's praise.
"Unfortunately, you can't do it with your strength. You have to do it yourself to achieve the Heartless Dao, right?" Luo Yu Tong was very smart and quickly thought of this point.
"That's right, I can't let someone else kill you. However, I can let someone cripple you and then kill you!"
Mo Wanqing had already thought of this a long time ago. As long as she personally killed Luo Yu Tong, it would be fine. However, during this period of time, it wasn't as if she couldn't get help from others.
Luo Yu Tong's body trembled when she heard this. There were six elders here, and the Great Elder was at the Yin Spring Tier. With such strength, it would not be a problem to suppress her easily.
Right at this moment, Mo Wanqing continued. "However, if you hand over the Sect Master's Token, then I can refuse their help. However, you'll be trapped in this Immortal Entrapment Formation in the future. Once my strength rises, then I'll give you a chance to have a fair battle.
However, if you're unwilling to hand it over, then I can only ask the elders to help me. Right, the Sect Master's Token is only a command token, and it's the symbol of authority of the Sovereign Sect. I don't have to obtain the Sect Master's Token. Once I become the Sect Master and take control of the Sovereign Sect, then I can establish a new one. "
"Hahaha …."
Luo Yu Tong started laughing. Suddenly, she started laughing as a strand of formidable Profound Energy surged within her body, and she said with ridicule, "You're truly ignorant. Do you think the Sect Master's Token is merely a symbol of authority?
I know that I'm probably unable to escape calamity today. I also know that the Immortal Entrapment Formation isn't ordinary just from its name. However, do all of you really think this place is? Do all of you think you can defeat me just like that? "
Luo Yu Tong revealed a wisp of a savage expression, and then a profound light flashed in her hand before a green jade token appeared in her hand.
"Shit!"
The Great Elder exclaimed, and his movements weren't slow at all. In an instant, he'd already appeared before Mo Wanqing.
"Too late. Haha …."
Luo Yu Tong's expression was savage. Numerous profound lights flickered within the ancestral hall, and numerous formations and restrictions interweaved.
These formation markings weren't simple at all. These were the formations of the ancestral hall, and the memorial tablets of countless experts were placed within them. This place was also an important place for the Sovereign Sect, so these formations were naturally not simple.
Moreover, these formations were strengthened by the Sect Masters of the past. At the moment these formations were formed, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy outside swarmed in, causing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy within the ancestral hall to become extremely chaotic.
The Great Elder couldn't be bothered with Luo Yu Tong anymore. He pulled Mo Wanqing and ran towards the door, and he didn't even hastily shout, "Leave quickly! She's gone mad! She's going to detonate the ancestral hall's formations!"
The Great Elder slashed his sword towards the formation markings at the door. Even though it was a hasty attack, he'd used all his strength, and this slash was boundless and vast.
As the sword flashed, numerous strands of Sword Qi minced the space apart, and then the sword landed on the formation markings.
"Pop ~"
The formation markings were like paper as they were instantly torn apart, and a large opening was opened up. The Great Elder pulled Mo Wanqing and leaped out of the ancestral hall. When the others saw this, they followed in a single line.
After they were quite a distance away from the ancestral hall, they finally stopped and looked at the ancestral hall that was madly condensing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy with surprise and bewilderment.
Mo Wanqing was slightly baffled as she asked the Great Elder, "Great Elder, what's going on? Why are we running?
Isn't it just a formation? Even if she activates the ancestral hall's formation, she can't escape from the Immortal Entrapping Formation, right?
Not to mention that there are still a few elders here. "
The Great Elder shook his head and said, "No, she didn't just activate the ancestral hall's formation. She's gone mad! She wants to detonate the entire ancestral hall's formations. These formations are strengthened by the experts of the past. Once they're detonated, it's not inferior to an Earth Immortal of the Black Spring Realm exploding."
"But, if she wanted to detonate the formation, she should have done so now. Moreover, if she's really so formidable, then how could we leave so easily?
I'm not trying to belittle the Great Elder. If she's really so formidable, then with the Great Elder's strength, it would take some time for us to leave.
However, the Great Elder tore a hole in the formation with one sword strike. "
The more Mo Wanqing thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. If the ancestral hall's formation was really so powerful, then they definitely couldn't leave so easily. From the situation just now, the formation and restriction had already been formed.
There were only two possibilities for such a situation to occur. The first was that the Great Elder was too powerful.
However, this didn't make sense. Although the Great Elder was an Earth Immortal of the Black Spring Realm, it wasn't very possible for him to break these powerful formations and restrictions with one sword strike.
The second possibility was that these formations and restrictions were all used to scare people. In reality, they weren't that powerful, but they were frightened.
"Not good!"
The Great Elder seemed to have thought of this as well. He didn't care about Mo Wanqing anymore and rushed towards the ancestral hall in a flash.
Seeing this, the others looked at each other and followed.
After entering the ancestral hall, they only saw the Great Elder who came in before them. There was no trace of Luo Yu Tong.
The Seventh Elder walked around the ancestral hall and didn't see any trace of Luo Yu Tong. He asked the Great Elder, "Great Elder, what's going on? Where is she?"
The Great Elder didn't say a word. The Second Elder said bitterly, "So cunning. She ran away. So it was a bluff!"
Han Bing frowned and glanced at the formation patterns. She said, "It doesn't make sense. The Immortal Trapping Formation hasn't been broken. How did she run away?"
"Sigh …"
At this moment, the Great Elder sighed and said in a deep voice, "When I came in, I felt a surge of spatial power. Although it was chaotic, I still caught it. She should have left through spatial teleportation.
We were all fooled. We don't know when a spatial teleportation formation was set up in this ancestral hall. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that gathered here wasn't to trigger the formation to explode, but to open up a spatial teleportation passage in the Immortal Trapping Formation. "
The Great Elder's expression wasn't good. There were so many people, and she was a Yin Spring expert, but she was actually fooled by a Cold Spring Earth Immortal.
She didn't pay attention for a moment and thought that Luo Yu Tong wanted to detonate the formation in the ancestral hall and die with them. But she neglected one point. At that time, it was under the Immortal Trapping Formation's seal. To open up a spatial teleportation required even more Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, when she tore open the formation and broke out of the door, she didn't think too much. If she thought carefully, she would notice that the ancestral hall was an important place in the Sovereign Sect. It was impossible for it to be so weak.
Obviously, Luo Yu Tong didn't intend to die with them. She wanted to escape by herself, and their leaving the ancestral hall was exactly what she wanted.
"I was careless!"
Mo Wanqing saw the Great Elder's self-blame and shook her head. She comforted, "Great Elder, it's not your fault. The situation just now was too dangerous. If she really wanted to die with us, there would definitely be casualties here. So what if she ran away? As long as she's alive, there's still a chance. We'll find her one day."
"We can only do that!" The Great Elder nodded.
"Great Elder, even you're unable to sense the direction she teleported to?" The Seventh Elder was unwilling to give up as he looked at the Great Elder.
"I can't!"
The Great Elder shook his head and explained. "The chaotic Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth has disrupted the spatial energy here, so I'm unable to sense her direction. Let's return first. I presume she wouldn't dare return to the Sovereign Sect. Choose a day and let Little Girl Mo take over the position of Sect Master."
A trace of pleasant surprise surged into Mo Wanqing's heart when she heard this. But after she calmed down, she said, "Great Elder, I'm still inexperienced, and I'm slightly unconvinced. I can't be too hasty. I intend to temper myself first."
"That isn't impossible. But we don't have a leader now, and we need a Sect Master!"
"Great Elder, how about this? I'll take over the position of Sect Master first. However, the affairs of the sect still require the other elders to jointly take over. I'll go temper myself first. In this way, I'll return after I'm slightly more experienced and formally take over the affairs of the sect. Elders, what do all of you think about this?"
Mo Wanqing wasn't an idiot. Which one of these people didn't have the heart of a wolf? If it was in terms of the person that truly cared for her, then it was probably only the Great Elder, and the others were supporting her for the sake of their own benefits.
At this moment, if she really took over the Sovereign Sect, then she would probably be forced to abdicate before she could even warm her seat.
In this way, she would take over the position of Sect Master, yet the affairs of the sect would be handled by these elders. It was equivalent to her taking over the position of Sect Master in name, and she wouldn't participate in the struggles for the sect's benefits and would allow these old fellows to fight amongst themselves.
After she took over the position of Sect Master in name, she would go out to temper herself, and once her strength was strong, she would return to deal with them one by one and rightfully take control of the Sovereign Sect. This was the best outcome.
