Chapter 4098: Song Ge's Rival

At that moment, Chu Feng sat outside the blacksmith's shop, his face full of worry.

He had gone to all this trouble, and frankly, it was all because he wanted Old Freak Tang to help detoxify Bai Liluo.

But Chu Feng truly had no romantic feelings for Song Ge, and he certainly wouldn't marry her just to obtain the Cursed Art. Doing so would only bring harm to both Song Ge and himself.

But knowing Old Freak Tang's temperament, the man might very well destroy the Cursed Art.

This put Chu Feng in a very difficult position.

"All I can do is hope that Old Freak Tang isn't so stubborn that he destroys the Cursed Art, and instead passes it on to Song Ge."

Chu Feng felt utterly helpless. Leaving things to fate was the last thing he ever wanted to do, but right now, he had no other choice.

So, all Chu Feng could do was wait…

Wait for two days, until Old Freak Tang and Song Ge reunited.

Two days later, Chu Feng arrived at Chongxu Temple early.

"Is this Life-Changing Bell really that famous?"

However, when Chu Feng reached the location of the Life-Changing Bell, he was slightly surprised.

The plaza where the bell stood was completely packed, as if every single elder and disciple of Chongxu Temple had come.

And standing before the Life-Changing Bell was a woman.

She was reasonably attractive, but her features had a sharp, shrewish quality — not the type Chu Feng cared for.

This woman was also an elder of Chongxu Temple. Her age was the opposite of Song Ge's, and so was her cultivation — she was a First Level Heavenly Immortal.

At the moment, she stood before the Life-Changing Bell, seemingly waiting for something.

But her presence was overwhelming, as if she were the queen of Chongxu Temple.

From the murmurs around him, Chu Feng learned that this woman's name was Zuo Ying.

Like Song Ge, Zuo Ying was a prominent figure within Chongxu Temple, blessed with both beauty and exceptional talent.

She was also Song Ge's rival.

Recently, she had been competing with Song Ge for the position of Chief Outer Sect Elder of Chongxu Temple.

Originally, the two were evenly matched in both martial cultivation and ability, making it difficult for Chongxu Temple to choose between them.

With no other option, they had to consider another factor — popularity.

While the two were indeed inseparable in every other regard, when it came to popularity, Song Ge was far ahead.

Even though Song Ge was also an ice-cold beauty within Chongxu Temple, she was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever someone needed assistance, which was why everyone liked her more.

But just when the outcome seemed all but decided, Zuo Ying's father suddenly showed up at Chongxu Temple.

As it turned out, Zuo Ying's father was a Martial Immortal cultivator who had reached the Third Level of the Martial Immortal realm.

Most importantly, he was unaffiliated with any sect and was willing to join Chongxu Temple as a nominal elder.

However, he had one condition — his daughter must be appointed Chief Outer Sect Elder of Chongxu Temple.

After all, the Sect Master of Chongxu Temple was only a Fourth Level Martial Immortal.

Now, with a Third Level Martial Immortal willing to join their ranks, Chongxu Temple could hardly refuse.

So, after Zuo Ying's father made his demand, Chongxu Temple handed the position of Chief Outer Sect Elder to Zuo Ying without hesitation.

In fact, today they were here to formally appoint Zuo Ying as the Chief Outer Sect Elder.

And the one doing the appointing was none other than Zuo Ying's father himself.
