Chapter 435: The Sect Master's Position

The pills alone would be more than enough to support anyone as the new Sect Master of the Feather God Sect!

Nie Li smiled faintly. He knew the Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord would make his judgment.

He was the only one who could lead the Feather God Sect to true glory!

"In a while, the sect will arrange candidates for the successor Sect Master. Start preparing in advance. I don't know how many supporters you can win over, but with these pills, I'd estimate at least three Martial Sovereigns in the sect will back you. However, the support of Martial Sovereigns alone won't be enough — you'll need sufficient strength to command everyone's respect. Otherwise, even if we push you into the Sect Master's seat, without the recognition of others, you won't hold it for long!" The Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord said with a mild smile.

"Rest assured, Master. If I'm going to compete for the Sect Master's position, I wouldn't bother if I couldn't handle even this small matter," Nie Li replied with a grin.

Hearing Nie Li's words, the Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord nodded. Nie Li's background was rather mysterious, but the Divine Lord had no suspicion that Nie Li harbored ill intentions toward the Feather God Sect. If he truly did, he would never have given them such powerful divine elixirs.

These elixirs would absolutely elevate the Feather God Sect to an entirely new height.

Nie Li left the Heavenly Cloud Divine Hall and returned to his residence.

The Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord, meanwhile, took the divine elixirs Nie Li had given him and went to negotiate with the other Martial Sovereigns.

During the following period, Nie Li devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Time passed quickly, and the day of the successor Sect Master selection was fast approaching. Long Tianming had grown more active than ever before. With all five Martial Sovereign-level powerhouses in closed-door cultivation, he needed to secure enough support for his bid to take the Sect Master's seat. So he kept buying off the Feather God Sect's elders and Supreme Elders one after another.

By comparison, Situ Beiyan appeared far calmer. He didn't seem particularly eager about the successor Sect Master position — though of course, behind-the-scenes maneuvering was inevitable.

At Long Tianming's residence.

"What did you say? All this time, and Situ Beiyan is still alive and well?" Long Tianming's face was dark and grim.

Several men dressed in black knelt before him.

"Reporting, Young Master — we're not sure ourselves. Every time we slipped poison into his food, someone neutralized it. One time we sent men to ambush Situ Beiyan, but his people intervened and broke the siege!"

Long Tianming furrowed his brow. It seemed someone knew about his plans to eliminate Situ Beiyan and was secretly working against him.

He let out a cold snort. "Situ Beiyan is the current Sect Master's son — he still has plenty of support within the Feather God Sect. He's a significant threat. But now eighty percent of the Elders support me, and nine out of ten of the Supreme Elders at the peak of the Dragon Dao Realm are on my side. On top of that, among the five Martial Sovereign-level powerhouses, at least two or even three will support me. The Sect Master is preparing to step down and won't openly favor Situ Beiyan. I don't believe Situ Beiyan still has any chance of winning! Let him be!"

No matter what, he would take control of the entire Feather God Sect!

"All of you, dismissed!" Long Tianming said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" The men in black quickly withdrew.
