The Sect Leader of Xuan Du sought out the Wan Xiang Immortal and explained the situation. The Wan Xiang Immortal immediately understood his meaning.
With so many elders coming forth together, the Sect Leader of Xuan Du ultimately had to provide an explanation. However, if he favored Master Jingyun without a good reason, the elders would certainly not let the matter rest, and it would be a blow to the Sect Leader's reputation as well.
But if the Wan Xiang Immortal spoke up, whether the elders were convinced or not, they would have to comply without any room for negotiation.
A Sect Leader must be fair and just, but an immortal need not be reasonable. This is true not only for the Yuqing View of Penglai, but for the entire Three Pure Ones.
