Chapter 558: Chapter 557, Becoming the Leader of The Outer Eight Sects

"I have an elixir here, take it quickly." Xu Wendong said awkwardly, immediately taking out a Body Tempering Pill.

Although the Body Tempering Pill wasn’t the holy medicine for healing, Liu Cheng’an’s injury wasn’t severe and could completely strengthen his body.

Seeing Liu Cheng’an’s complexion gradually recover after taking the elixir, Xu Wendong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of regret for having overlooked the fact that when he refined it he was only at the Second Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Now his strength was no longer the same, and the amulets he refined could withstand the full force of a Great Grandmaster.

Thus,

when Liu Cheng’an, with only Grandmaster-level cultivation, struck with full force, he would certainly suffer a backlash.

"Heavens bless the Outer Eight Sects, Heavens bless the Outer Eight Sects, indeed!" Miao Tan said excitedly.

Others at this moment also believed in Xu Wendong’s abilities, confirming that he was indeed the mysterious Taoist expert, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Liu Cheng’an also recovered and then bowed to Xu Wendong, saying, "Great Grandmaster Uncle, our Thieves’ Sect is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation."

Miao Tan said, "The Gu Sect is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation!"

"The Thousand Sect is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation!"

"The Mechanics Sect is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation!"

"The Orchid Sect is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation!"

"The Red Handkerchief is willing to follow the Life-Seeking Sect, going through fire and water without hesitation!"

The Sect Leaders of the other seven sects immediately expressed their attitudes.

What a joke!

Previously, the rule was to support one side upon finding that mysterious Taoist master, but now they found that the mysterious master was right in front of them.

If they didn’t support Xu Wendong now, then when?

Seeing everyone bowing simultaneously toward him, a trace of inexplicable smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face.

Earlier he was still worried that he couldn’t become the head of the Outer Eight Sects, couldn’t help Elder Qin fulfill his dream, and couldn’t use this power for himself.

Who could have imagined that the rule of the grand competition was actually him.

Even the heavens are helping him!

"Could it be that this is the benefit of me stepping into the officialdom?"

Xu Wendong thought of the Power of the Nation’s Fate.

Then he confirmed his conjecture.

Because if he hadn’t gone to the Lianyun County officialdom, he wouldn’t have known about the auction at the Su Residence, and wouldn’t have attended that auction, leading to everything that happened today.

Nor would he have become the head of the Outer Eight Sects.

He came back to his senses and casually said, "Today is a day of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, we should eat and drink as we please. As for strengthening the Outer Eight Sects, after the new year, you all make a count, like how many First-rate Masters you have, so that I can conveniently refine elixirs for you!"

Since he became the head of the Outer Eight Sects, he had to put in some effort, leading the Outer Eight Sects to greater glory.

Everyone was overjoyed and immediately raised their glasses to express their gratitude to Xu Wendong.

After drinking two glasses, Xu Wendong waved toward Jiang Hongyi at the next table.

Jiang Hongyi, looking embarrassed, held her glass and walked to Xu Wendong’s side.

At this moment,

the Sect Leader of Red Handkerchief, Qian Sheng couldn’t help but stand up and nervously asked, "Great Grandmaster Uncle, do you and Hongyi know each other?"

Jiang Hongyi replied, "Master, I was previously cursed by Tan Shou, and it was the Great Grandmaster Uncle who saved my life."

Qian Sheng felt relieved, "Tan Shou’s Gu Art is exceptionally evil, and nowadays, only the Great Grandmaster Uncle could possibly break it!"

"On such a joyous day, can we not mention that scoundrel?" Miao Tan looked annoyed, as Tan Shou was once his favorite disciple.

However, this child had ill intentions and frequently misused Gu Art for personal gain, causing harm to many.

After learning of this, he was so angry he wanted to kill him; after all, the Gu Sect had previously had the traitor Yue Qian Mountain, and such people posed significant threats to society.

But Tan Shou, realizing his intentions, simply vanished into Miaojiang.

Afterward, Miao Tan publicly declared that Tan Shou was expelled from the Gu Sect, and his actions were no longer affiliated with the Gu Sect.

"Let’s not talk about Tan Shou today." Xu Wendong said after taking a sip of tea, then looked at Qian Sheng, "Sect Leader Qian, I’ve heard you wish to marry Hongyi into the Xu Family, forming an alliance?"

Qian Sheng sighed helplessly, "Great Grandmaster Uncle, please don’t blame this junior for doing so, it’s all for the sake of Red Handkerchief."

As time progressed, opera had gradually been discarded by the times, and revitalizing opera hinged on those top-tier secular families.

After all, in the face of true nobility, they have the power to dictate the trends in the entertainment market.

Xu Wendong said indifferently, "I share a fate with Hongyi!"

With just a simple sentence, Jiang Hongyi’s face turned beet red.

Everyone else was also envious.

Knowing Jiang Hongyi had already grasped onto a high branch.

Though she used to be a household-name movie star, her status in the mundane world was far inferior to being with a Taoist master.

Being around such a person could prolong life, even provide opportunities to become an Immortal!

"Great Grandmaster Uncle, we in the Orchid Sect have many fair and beautiful women. If you are interested, you can visit us at the Orchid Sect." Sect Leader Meng Gu said with a light smile.

She considered that many of her disciples’ beauty far surpassed Jiang Hongyi’s.

Xu Wendong smiled, "We can talk about that later!" Then he fixed his gaze on Qian Sheng.

Qian Sheng looked uneasy, "Great Grandmaster Uncle, the marriage between Hongyi and the Xu Family is set. If we breach the engagement, I’m afraid the Xu Family won’t let it go easily!"

Xu Wendong said, "I also bear the surname Xu; my father is Xu Qingshan!"

Qian Sheng stood up, stunned, as if he’d seen a ghost, staring at Xu Wendong. "You, you, you are the descendant of Qingshan?"

The other Sect Leaders exchanged glances, not expecting Xu Wendong to have this identity.

They had all heard about what happened to the Xu Family eighteen years ago.

It was probably the greatest upheaval among the noble families in the last century; ordinary people might not know, but they had heard bits and pieces.

They just didn’t expect the baby who disappeared eighteen years ago to grow up to be a Taoist master, wielding numerous Divine Skills.

Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, curiously asking, "You know my father?"

Qian Sheng, astonished, gulped and then said, "More than just knowing; we were the best of friends. To be honest, my intent to ally our families through marriage was all because of your father."

"Your father was someone who particularly loved listening to opera. In earlier years, he often visited our Red Handkerchief, which resulted in our business thriving."

"After all, he was an elite in high society, representing the trends of the times."

Xu Wendong nodded slightly, then said, "Since you know my identity now, you won’t force Hongyi to marry into the Xu Family, will you?"

"Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare!" Qian Sheng immediately lowered his head; he had a premonition that Xu Wendong would surely seek revenge for the Blood Sea Vengeance from eighteen years ago upon returning to Jingdu!

Just then, a sarcastic voice rang out, "Wow, it’s lively here; this is the festive atmosphere one should have!"

Miao Tan stood up angrily, glaring at the young man before him. "You scoundrel, why are you here?"
