My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 621: Six hundred twenty, Agreement

Liu Yunshan managed, with great difficulty, to extricate himself and come before Song Yan Ning and her companions. Today was his day, the Sky Heart Sect’s most glorious occasion. Those who had looked down upon him were now all wearing flattering smiles, cozying up to him. He knew that all of this was brought to him by Song Yan Ning and the others.

"Thank you all!" Liu Yunshan said gratefully as he looked at Song Yan Ning and her group.

Song Yan Ning shook her head, "We helped you for our own sake, Sect Master Liu, and in truth, this isn’t necessarily a good thing for you."

"Why?" Liu Yunshan asked, puzzled as he looked at Song Yan Ning.

"Now that the Sky Heart Sect has us, others don’t dare to move against the sect. But once we leave, how long can the Sky Heart Sect sustain itself with its current strength?" Song Yan Ning had considered this issue even before entering the competition.

Liu Yunshan fell silent. Song Yan Ning was right—if they stayed with the Sky Heart Sect, it would undoubtedly grow stronger, but once they left, his own strength was simply not enough to protect the sect. Before, the Sky Heart Sect was in decline, so much so that other sects looked down upon it and disdained even to take action against it. But now, after the Sky Heart Sect had drawn attention to itself in the competition for places and offended many forces, how could those powers let the Sky Heart Sect off the hook once she and the others left?

"Is there a solution?" Liu Yunshan looked towards Song Yan Ning. Since she had brought it up, she must have already thought of a strategy.

"The Mo Feng Sect." Song Yan Ning said, her lips curving into a smile: "The Mo Feng Sect Master was killed, and now it’s a time when the Mo Feng Sect is like a dragon without a head. If we take down the Mo Feng Sect and make it part of Sky Heart Sect’s power, then no one will dare to move against the Sky Heart Sect in the future."

Liu Yunshan’s eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed again, "With Sky Heart Sect’s current strength, how could it possibly seize the Mo Feng Sect?" The Mo Feng Sect was one of Lingyue City’s great sects, and even with its sect master gone, its strength was not to be underestimated.

"Do you really want it?" Song Yan Ning asked Liu Yunshan. She wanted to establish a power base here. If Liu Yunshan lacked the ability, she would find someone else.

Liu Yunshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!" He definitely wanted Sky Heart Sect to grow strong and become the number one sect in Lingyue City.

Song Yan Ning smiled faintly, "Then listen to me."

Liu Yunshan nodded, a firm determination flashing in his eyes as he looked at Song Yan Ning, "If you can make the Sky Heart Sect stronger, I’m willing to give up the position of Sect Master to you." Since taking over the Sky Heart Sect, his greatest wish had been to make the sect strong, but unfortunately, his abilities were limited. If Song Yan Ning and the others could genuinely strengthen the Sky Heart Sect, then it wouldn’t matter if he wasn’t the Sect Master.

Song Yan Ning smiled, "Let’s return to the Sky Heart Sect." She wanted to see just how dilapidated the Sky Heart Sect really was.

Led by Liu Yunshan, the group arrived at the Sky Heart Sect. From a distance, the sect’s name plaque with the words "Sky Heart Sect" was already mottled, utterly lacking any grandeur. A few dilapidated houses, fields in the distance without a single Spirit Plant, and most importantly, a lack of Spiritual Energy made the place hardly resemble a sect at all.

"Why is there no Spiritual Energy here?" Yun Mo frowned.

Liu Yunshan awkwardly chuckled, "There used to be Spiritual Energy here, but as the Sky Heart Sect fell, the energy gradually depleted." If it weren’t for the lack of Spiritual Energy, how could they fail to recruit Disciples? Cultivators join a sect to cultivate, and without even the basic Spiritual Energy, how could they possibly cultivate?

Song Yan Ning swept the Sky Heart Sect with her Divine Sense, a slight curl forming at the corner of her mouth, "There is Spiritual Energy here, it’s simply been restricted by an Array." Others might not see it, but she was an Array Master.

"Array?" Liu Yunshan looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise. noveldrama

Song Yan Ning nodded, "The small pond in the back mountain is the heart of the Array. All the Spiritual Energy here has been absorbed by the pond, trapped within."

"Then is there a way to release that Spiritual Energy?" Liu Yunshan looked at Song Yan Ning with anticipation. In such a short time, Song Yan Ning had discovered an Array, which showed that her Array skills were indeed high.
