Chapter 2: Sect Master record book

As soon as Daoist True Spirit left the hall, the fake smile on his face disappeared instantly. "This ignorant fool! Don't blame me for disregarding the camaraderie among sect members," he muttered to himself.

At this moment, a young disciple hurriedly ran over from a distance. "Master, Zhang Brothers have already been contacted..."

"Shut up, you idiot!" Daoist True Spirit scolded fiercely.

Startled by Daoist True Spirit's reaction, the young disciple dared not speak further and cautiously followed behind him as they headed towards Daoist True Spirit's residence. Once inside his room and after securing the door, Daoist True Spirit finally spoke about the real matter.

"Now, tell me every detail of how you contacted Zhang Brothers, leaving nothing concealed," he commanded.

While Daoist True Spirit and his disciple, Li Jie, were secretly plotting their grand scheme, chaos erupted again within Taiyi Sect.

As a senior disciple of Taiyi Sect, Fang Meng was also a decisive and quick-tempered individual. After parting ways with Meng Zhang, he quickly made some preparations and intended to leave Taiyi Sect with a few junior disciples.

Though Fang Meng had a somewhat bad temper, he held a certain degree of authority in the sect as the eldest senior brother. Additionally, he was well-liked by many due to his bold and chivalrous nature.

Before leaving, Fang Meng and his junior disciples stole a considerable amount of wealth from Taiyi Sect. However, aware of Meng Zhang's control over the sect's protective array, Fang Meng didn't dare to be too audacious. After hastily looting the resources, he swiftly departed from Taiyi Sect without lingering.

Not long after Fang Meng left with his followers, the main hall where Meng Zhang resided welcomed two other hurried guests.

They were Clear Spirit Daoist and another senior disciple of Xuan Ling Daoist, who cultivated the "Longevity Decision" and had reached the fifth stage of Qi Refinement. He was the most skilled alchemist in Taiyi Sect, in charge of the sect's most valuable asset—the 19-acre spiritual field.

Clear Spirit Daoist had a peaceful disposition and rarely involved himself in other sect matters. He devoted all his energy, even his life, to managing the spiritual field.

He was like a genuine old yellow cow—a crucial pillar of Taiyi Sect. With no other industries, the main source of income for Taiyi Sect depended on the carefully tended spiritual field managed by Clear Spirit Daoist.

Every year, the offerings to Twin Success Valley and the cultivation resources for the sect's disciples relied heavily on Clear Spirit Daoist's efforts.

As the sect's leader, Meng Zhang held great respect and admiration for Clear Spirit Daoist, who was diligent and selfless for the greater good.

"Senior Clear Spirit, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Taiyi Sect won't collapse. If Senior Brother Fang Meng is unwilling to be under someone else's rule and wants to leave with his followers, it's his freedom," Meng Zhang gently reassured Clear Spirit Daoist.

Upon hearing the news of Fang Meng's departure, Clear Spirit Daoist, who usually didn't concern himself with external affairs, couldn't sit still. He rushed to the main hall to seek advice from Meng Zhang.

Another guest in the main hall was a young scholar in his twenties, Meng Zhang's senior disciple named Tian Zhen.

Unlike the first senior brother, Fang Meng, Tian Zhen held Meng Zhang in high regard and was his staunch supporter within Taiyi Sect.

In Tian Zhen's heart, Meng Zhang was the undisputed candidate to inherit the position of Taiyi Sect's leader and the only person capable of reviving the sect. He unconditionally supported all of Meng Zhang's decisions.

Therefore, when Tian Zhen, who had heard about Fang Meng's departure, came to seek advice from Meng Zhang, he immediately assisted Meng Zhang in calming down Daoist Clear Spirit.

"Senior Clear Spirit, there's no need to worry. Everyone has their own aspirations, and if Senior Brother Fang wants to leave, no one can stop him. Now that Junior Brother Meng has inherited the position of Sect Master, Taiyi Sect will surely flourish under his leadership." Although Daoist Clear Spirit was not as devoted to Meng Zhang as Tian Zhen, his kind-hearted nature prevented him from directly refuting his junior disciple.

Despite being anxious, after being comforted by Meng Zhang, Daoist Clear Spirit voluntarily left the main hall, constantly muttering to himself, "It's the critical time for the spirit field now, so I should go take care of it. I believe Sect Master can handle all the affairs in the sect."

After Daoist Clear Spirit left, Tian Zhen reported to Meng Zhang, "Sect Master, Fang Meng and his followers took away some superficial wealth. The most important resources of the sect are stored in the sect's main treasury."

"The main treasury is under my personal guard, and no one can approach it without your orders," he assured Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang valued his loyal supporter greatly, and after explaining a few things to Tian Zhen, he dismissed him. Since becoming the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang had entrusted the management of various affairs to Tian Zhen.

Sitting in the main hall, Meng Zhang realized that after Fang Meng's departure, there were not many people left in Taiyi Sect. Daoist Clear Spirit and his two disciples, together with Tian Zhen and himself, amounted to only five people. Even if Daoist True Spirit and his disciple Li Jie were added, they could barely make up two tables of mahjong.

Well, having fewer people to manage would save him some trouble, Meng Zhang thought to himself.

After a while, he took out a thin booklet from his bosom. The cover of the booklet was ink-black, with five golden characters engraved on it: "Sect Master's Chronicle."

This thin booklet was, in fact, a magic tool passed down among the successive Sect Masters of Taiyi Sect. Before being summoned by Huangsha City, the former Sect Master, Daoist Profound Spirit, handed this book to Meng Zhang for safekeeping. Now that Meng Zhang had become the new Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, he naturally inherited this book, which could only be guarded by the Sect Master.

As a disciple of the former Sect Master, Meng Zhang had seen the old Sect Master use this booklet multiple times. His old Sect Master, who had long regarded him as the future Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, never avoided using this booklet in front of him.

Although he had never read the contents inside, Meng Zhang knew how to use the booklet. He opened the cover, revealing a blank page. He infused his true qi, and lines of text immediately appeared on the page.

After a short while, Meng Zhang understood how this booklet worked. Its usage was somewhat similar to an e-book from his past life. By inputting true qi, he could access the content inside and even write on it using true qi.

The successive Sect Masters of Taiyi Sect had treated this booklet as a diary, recording their experiences and observations inside. Though it appeared to have only thin pages, the content inside was vast, amounting to millions of words.

Night had fallen, and there were no other pressing matters today. So, Meng Zhang began to slowly read the contents inside the booklet.
