Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1593 - 366: Liu Futong’s Crisis and the Secret Deal (Part 3)

This time the court, in conjunction with the Six Great Sects, besieged Bright Peak, bringing tremendous pressure to Bright Peak. In this situation, Mr. Duozhi Huguan and Descending Mountain Tiger Du Zundao strongly demanded a change of the Sect Hierarch. At this moment of life and death, they could not let a young Sect Hierarch take on this important role, or else the Holy Sect’s thousand-year foundations would be destroyed, and who could bear the responsibility?

However, Liu Futong was not prepared to replace the young leader. There was no choice, so a coup occurred on the spot, and during the coup, Mr. Duozhi Huguan and Du Zundao teamed up and poisoned Liu Futong’s wine, secretly taking him down.

Of course, only the three of Liu Guandu participated in that meeting, so not many people knew about Liu Futong being taken down.

After taking down Liu Futong, there was considerable contention between Mr. Guan and Du Zundao about how to handle him. Du Zundao’s idea was since Liu Futong had been offended, it was best to eliminate him directly, and if they really couldn’t do it, the best way was to cripple his Cultivation.

This would benefit him the most, as Du Zundao’s power surpassed Mr. Guan’s. Once Liu Futong was dead, the Zoroastrian Sect would have only one choice, which was to support him as the Sect Hierarch.

Moreover, Han Miaozhen had already been persuaded and was willing to serve the new Sect Hierarch.

However, Mr. Guan was absolutely against this, because his starting point was entirely for the development of the Holy Sect, not for power struggle. What he wanted was to support Liu Futong as the new Sect Hierarch. With Liu Futong’s qualifications, him becoming the new Sect Hierarch would be the best choice for the entire Holy Sect.

He forced Liu Futong to make a choice, ideally agreeing with his idea to become the Sect Hierarch of the Zoroastrian Sect.

But now Descending Mountain Tiger Du Zundao actually wants to kill Liu Futong, that’s simply destroying the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar and the Sea-Bearing Purple Golden Beam of the Zoroastrian Sect.

Mr. Guan could never agree.

The two were at an impasse, and in the end, they could only compromise by imprisoning Liu Futong, falsely claiming to the outside that Liu Futong was practicing, contemplating strategies to confront enemies.

But everyone knew, with Liu Futong’s Cultivation, he couldn’t be confined for long, and they had to plan early.

At this moment in the Small Gathering Hall, Mr. Guan was discussing with Du Zundao when Mr. Guan looked at Du Zundao: "The Ruins are finally about to be opened, this time we must obtain the entire Qiankun Great Method. Without some means, it might be very difficult to fend off these bastards as the court and the Six Great Sects besiege us, and this Qiankun Great Method is vital for the life and death of our Holy Sect, so this time we must acquire the complete skill of the Qiankun Great Method."

Du Zundao replied: "Mm, that’s right, so this time I’m planning to personally enter the Ruins to search for the Qiankun Great Method."

Mr. Guan was taken aback upon hearing this, and said: "Could this be a bit risky?"

Du Zundao: "What’s a bit of risk for the Holy Sect."

"My joining the Holy Sect already put my life and death aside, so now why fear entering a dangerous place to seize a chance of survival?"

Upon these words, Mr. Guan looked at Du Zundao and said: "Old Du, such righteousness, I admire."

Du Zundao, upon hearing this, said: "Whether you admire or not is another matter. You know this Qiankun Great Method is not only the sect’s skill of our Holy Sect but also concerning our escape route. This time when the court and the Six Great Sects come to besiege us, it’s almost impossible for us to fend them off without using the Great Shifting Technique in the Qiankun Great Method to open the entrance to the tunnel, in order to lead the whole sect to safety."

"Otherwise, it’s a risk of sect extinction, and we must be cautious!"

Hearing this, Mr. Guan said: "Mm, indeed."

Du Zundao then looked at Mr. Guan and said: "Old Guan, let me speak candidly. I’m willing to enter the Ruins, bear the danger, whether I live or die is my personal fate, but I still need one definite word from you." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Mr. Guan looked at Du Zundao: "Speak."

"If I were able to return safely from the Ruins and obtain the Qiankun Great Method, and successfully cultivate it, can you support me as the Sect Hierarch!"

Upon these words, Du Zundao’s eyes became sharp, intensely staring at Mr. Guan like lightning.

Mr. Guan frowned as he looked at Du Zundao.

Du Zundao said nothing and just stared tightly at Duozhi Fox.

After a long time, Mr. Guan opened his mouth and said: "If you can save the Holy Sect, what’s wrong with respecting you as the Sect Hierarch!"

Upon hearing this, Du Zundao laughed heartily: "Good, good, Old Guan, straightforward. I know you’re a man of your word, so since you’ve spoken, you won’t deny it, right."

Mr. Guan said: "What I’ve said is surely counted, if you can retrieve the Qiankun Great Method, I will acknowledge you as Sect Hierarch."

Du Zundao replied: "Good, let’s say it’s decided, hahaha..."

Having received Duozhi Fox’s promise, Du Zundao immediately burst into happy laughter, and after laughing, he sat back in his seat, pouring himself a cup of tea.

While drinking his tea he said: "Old Guan, when I become Sect Hierarch, I won’t treat you unfairly, how about appointing you as Venerable then?"

Duozhi Fox frowned and said: "Venerable? If I become Venerable, what should the Master do? I’d better remain as Dharma King."

Du Zundao upon hearing this, sipped his tea and said: "Master, indeed, there is still a Master. What I wanted to discuss with you is the Master, Old Guan, if I truly become Sect Hierarch, what will happen if the Master gets out?"

Duozhi Fox glanced at Du Zundao and said: "You want to kill the Master?"

Du Zundao: "It’s not that I want to kill him, but with the Master alive, I can’t sit comfortably as the Sect Hierarch. You know, the Holy Sect cannot withstand turmoil at this point, if the Master gets out, sees me as Sect Hierarch, with his temper, he will surely support that little boy Han Lin’er to seize power from me, and then I’ll be in trouble."
