22: Shocking! The Cloud Sword Sect Master...

so that in the future, if he wanted to nurture a poison-type Spirit Tamer, he could fuse the Ten Thousand Poisons Spider's Bloodline with it, inheriting the Ten Thousand Poisons Spider's terrifyingly toxic characteristics.

After putting these items into his storage ring, Zhang Daobai took out a soul nurturing fruit.

Normally, a soul nurturing fruit only reaches its maximum value after being refined into a Third Rank soul nurturing pill.

However, the time and Spirit Stones required for that made Zhang Daobai give up on the idea after some thought.

The soul nurturing fruit was not large. Zhang Daobai ate it in a few bites; the flesh melted in his mouth, turning into a warm current that surged through his body, deep into his Soul.

At this moment, Zhang Daobai felt as if he were in a warm hot spring, his entire body enveloped in an indescribable sense of comfort.

Soon, Zhang Daobai felt as if something was about to grow inside his head.

Before he could react, he felt an invisible power spread out from his mind.

Immediately after, from a strange perspective, he clearly 'saw' his own appearance and the situation of the surrounding cave.

"This is Divine Sense!?"

Zhang Daobai quickly realized that under the effects of the soul nurturing fruit, he must have successfully opened his Sea of Consciousness and birthed Divine Sense.

Having obtained Divine Sense, Zhang Daobai was like a child with a new toy, beginning to scan everywhere with it.

But before long, he felt his head spin slightly, and his Divine Sense instinctively retracted into his Sea of Consciousness.

Fortunately, the remaining medicinal power of the soul nurturing fruit soon helped Zhang Daobai recover.

"It seems I have to be careful when using Divine Sense in the future."

Zhang Daobai shook his head and muttered to himself with lingering fear.

After regaining his composure, Zhang Daobai carefully sensed his Soul Power.

Upon confirming that he could now Contract a second Spirit Tamer, Zhang Daobai finally smiled with satisfaction.

"The next Spirit Tamer must be planned carefully, but before that, I need to collect the interest from Yun Lingxiao and Yun Changqing first."

As Zhang Daobai spoke, he put away his smile and took out a Storage Pouch.

To be honest, Zhang Daobai still felt a bit of gratitude toward the Cloud Sword Sect. After all, when he was most helpless, it was an Elder of the Cloud Sword Sect who gave him a job as a Utility Disciple, giving him a place to stand.

But for Yun Lingxiao and Yun Changqing, Zhang Daobai felt nothing but utter loathing, even though they were the Sect Master and Young Sect Master of the Cloud Sword Sect.

Over the next two days, besides going to Cloud Sword City to prepare some Materials, Zhang Daobai stayed in the cave the rest of the time, preparing for his upcoming plan.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Zhang Daobai completed all preparations, waiting only for the plan to begin... Inside Cloud Sword City,

As the largest city under the jurisdiction of the Cloud Sword Sect, Cloud Sword City was extremely prosperous, with a population of at least three hundred thousand.

On the crowded streets, a Loose Cultivator inadvertently looked up at the sky and saw a large blue bird carrying a bundle.

"What is that?"

Seeing this, the Loose Cultivator couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

Others nearby also looked up curiously.

"That looks like a spirit bird created from a spirit bird talisman."

"What is it carrying in its claws?"

"Who knows? Maybe someone is using a spirit bird talisman to transport something."

While everyone was discussing it, the spirit bird in the sky suddenly exploded into a cloud of spiritual energy, and the bundle in its claws scattered.

In the next second, under everyone's gaze, a large number of papers spilled out from the bundle, drifting down from the sky like snowflakes.

Simultaneously, above Cloud Sword City, hundreds of spirit birds transformed from spirit bird talismans exploded at once, and tens of thousands of papers scattered from the sky across the entire Cloud Sword City.

"What is this?"

A curious Cultivator didn't wait for the papers to drift down; he leaped up and grabbed a sheet from the air.

"#SHOCKING! The Cloud Sword Sect Master Actually Did This!#"

When he saw the first line on the paper, the Cultivator was instantly stunned.

The Cloud Sword Sect Master, Golden Core Stage expert Yun Lingxiao, was a major figure known to everyone within the Cloud Sword Sect's territory.

Just the title alone made people unable to resist reading further.

Meanwhile, others around also caught papers from the sky and looked down to read.

"#The Untold Secret Between Cloud Sword Sect Master Yun Lingxiao and Young Sect Master Yun Changqing#"

"#SHOCKING! The Number One Genius of Cloud Sword Sect's dantian rupture Was Actually Caused by Foul Play!#"

"#SHOCKING! The Cloud Sword Sect Master Is Actually This Kind of Person!#"

"#SHOCKING! The Number One Beauty of Cloud Sword Sect Has Already Met Her End!#"

Looking at those headlines, each more explosive than the last, everyone who picked up a paper couldn't help but continue reading.

The content on the paper was simple, describing how Cloud Sword Sect Master Yun Lingxiao and Young Sect Master Yun Changqing plotted against Lin Luoxue.

After Lin Luoxue refused them, they did not hesitate to use a toxic purple heart barrier-breaking pill to cause her Breakthrough to fail, resulting in a dantian rupture and the total loss of her cultivation.

Then, to force Lin Luoxue to submit, they refused to treat her injuries, took the lead in isolating her, and even imprisoned her, intending to force her to marry Yun Changqing.

Finally, Lin Luoxue managed to escape the Cloud Sword Sect, only to be pursued by Yun Changqing and killed on a small hill outside the sect, leaving not even a whole corpse behind.

In this article, Zhang Daobai used some rhetorical techniques to describe Yun Lingxiao and Yun Changqing as two sinister, cunning, lecherous, and greedy villains who made one's teeth itch with hatred.

Meanwhile, Lin Luoxue was depicted by Zhang Daobai as a tragic and beautiful Female Sword Immortal, unyielding unto death, desperate and helpless, evoking deep sympathy.

"Holy crap! The Cloud Sword Sect Master is actually such a despicable person!"

"Poisoning his own Personal Disciple! Does he even deserve to be a Master?"

"Sigh! Such a perfect person as Fairy Lin actually met such an end."

"Are you tired of living? How dare you discuss the Cloud Sword Sect Master? If the people from the Cloud Sword Sect hear you, it's over!"

"You're right! Better leave this place first!"

Although everyone wanted to curse the Yun father and son after reading the papers, they all suppressed it when they remembered they were still within the Cloud Sword Sect's city.

"Investigate! Investigate this thoroughly for me!"

"Where did these things come from? And who is slandering our Cloud Sword Sect behind our backs!?"

At the Cloud Sword Sect outpost in Cloud Sword City, a Stationed Elder roared at the surrounding Disciples while holding a paper.

"It's too late to investigate that now!"

"The most important thing now is, how do we eliminate this matter? How do we dispel these rumors about our Sect Master?"

Another female Elder nearby spoke with a deep frown.
