50: Chapter 50 A Personal Disciple of Hundred Flowers Peak, Ling Xiaoxiao

Just a moment ago, Sect Master Tang Xuan received the latest news: more life tablets within the Sect had shattered.

And not just one!

"One Nascent Soul Stage and four Golden Core Stage Cultivators, all completely wiped out?"

Thinking of this, Sect Master Tang Xuan, besides being furious, rubbed his temples with his hand.

His heart was bleeding incessantly.

These were not only experts within the Sect but also people under his command that he could control.

Furthermore, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, even in the Early Stage, was an extremely powerful Cultivator in this region.

Out in the world, wiping out some small Sects or factions was just a matter of a single thought.

Even for the powerful Qingxuan Sect, every death meant one less.

As for those few Core Disciples from Baizhan Peak, although they did not have the status of Personal Disciple.

However, that was because Baizhan Peak had never established the position of Personal Disciple.

Or rather, Peak Master Di Tianxuan had never even considered grooming her own successor.

The so-called Core Disciples were mostly assigned by the Sect, and she had only reluctantly accepted them as her Disciples.

Because of this, it gave others the opportunity to plant their own confidants.

For instance, Sect Master Tang Xuan did exactly that.

Among the "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon," Hua Minsha and Xue Weiyang were both people from his faction.

As for Peak Master Di Tianxuan, who primarily cultivated the Dao of Ruthlessness, she had no other feelings for them apart from standard instruction in cultivation.

It was precisely because of this that many in the Sect suspected the influence of her early experiences, fearing that she might defect from the Sect at any moment.

After all, she was a woman without any handles or weaknesses.

In terms of how terrifying she was, she was far greater than those evil Cultivators or Demon Cultivators who committed all sorts of crimes!

Furthermore, she controlled the resources of one of the Sect's main Peaks and was an expert with no low level of cultivation.

If she had any ulterior motives, the blow to the Sect would be absolutely unprecedented.

Even though they had always secretly suppressed her and reduced her allocation of resources.

Even though they had long been wary of her.

"What on earth is going on?"

However, no one could answer the doubts of Sect Master Tang Xuan at this moment, nor could they relieve his worries.

Dispatching a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Sect to hunt down Gu Qingge was already the maximum extent of his authority.

It was not that there were no stronger experts within the Sect.

However, most of them were Old Ancestors of the Sect who had sealed themselves in the Forbidden Ground, currently in closed-door cultivation.

Unless the Sect fell into an unsolvable desperate situation, they would never break out of seclusion.

If he dared to awaken any Old Ancestor just because of capturing a Disciple who had betrayed the Sect to practice demonic arts, and a group of women from a destroyed demonic Sect who were like stray dogs.

Then, the first to die would absolutely not be Gu Qingge or the women of the demonic Sect.

Instead, it would be him, who would surely be slapped to death by the Old Ancestor who broke out of seclusion, just to vent their anger!

That Old Ancestor would even say, "I am already half-buried in the ground; you invite me out just to kill two or three small fry?"

"Are you a useless idiot?"

"What about Peak Master Di Tianxuan?" Sect Master Tang Xuan seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked.

As the Sharp Weapon of slaughter within the Sect, the blood-stained blade swung at enemies.

Peak Master Di Tianxuan absolutely belonged to the most useful blade edge.

The pursuit missions she executed had never failed once.

Whenever she targeted someone, after she returned, their heads would be brought back with her.

A Baizhan Peak Disciple on the side stepped forward and reported, "Reporting to Sect Master, Peak Revered Master Di is still hunting down Ling Xiaoxiao; there is no news back yet."

"Hmph, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator hunting down a Qi Refinement Stage woman, and it takes this long?"

"I think she has ulterior motives and is intentionally letting that woman go."

The Ling Xiaoxiao in Sect Master Tang Xuan's words was once the Personal Disciple of the Baihua Peak Revered Master, and also the only Personal Disciple of Baihua Peak.

Originally, the overall strength of Baihua Peak was not weak within the Qingxuan Sect, and the Peak Revered Master was a Cultivator who possessed the combat power of the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, some time ago, the Baihua Peak Revered Master went to the Yunmeng Marsh in search of a rare Spirit Medicine, but ended up dying there instead.

Since then, Baihua Peak had been without a leader.

And Sect Master Tang Xuan's son, Tang Ming, at this time, turned a thought he had always had but dared not act upon into reality.

He wanted to forcefully marry Ling Xiaoxiao!

Regarding this, if it were someone else bullying the visibly weakening Baihua Peak, Sect Master Tang Xuan would absolutely be the first to refuse.

But if it were his son, then naturally he would favor his own kin over reason, choosing an attitude of tacit approval.

At the same time, this method also had additional advantages behind it.

First, he could gain a powerful daughter-in-law, giving his good-for-nothing son an extra support.

Second, it could also allow him to install Ling Xiaoxiao, whose cultivation had reached the Peak of the Golden Core Stage, as the Baihua Peak Revered Master, successfully bringing Baihua Peak under his sphere of influence.

Everything would fall into place.

And the lackey beside Tang Ming specially procured some potent Medicinal Pills for him, wanting to take advantage of a specific opportunity to commit a heinous act.

The plan was originally quite good, and Tang Ming was operating on the philosophy of "the bold are stuffed to death, while the timid starve to death."

Even if it failed after implementation, Ling Xiaoxiao would not dare to do anything to him.

Therefore, he used the pretext of wanting to meet the beauty one last time and then giving up the idea of forced marriage to lure Ling Xiaoxiao out.

Unfortunately, he was one move short, and Ling Xiaoxiao, who was always cautious, saw through it in advance.

The former was even severely injured by the furious Ling Xiaoxiao, almost dying from his wounds.

And Ling Xiaoxiao, who was intercepted by experts of the Sect, quickly weighed the pros and cons of the current situation.

Tang Ming was nothing special; he was just a piece of trash who relied on the protection of his ancestors and piled up cultivation resources all the way to barely reach the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The important thing was Tang Ming's father, Sect Master Tang Xuan.

His influence in the Sect was great, and it was definitely not something she, a weak woman whose Revered Master had fallen outside and who had no one to make decisions for her, could resist.

Therefore, she resolutely decided to betray the Sect in order to protect herself.

"Sect Master, do not let your Life Qi rise yet." Watching Sect Master Tang Xuan's faintly angry appearance, Law Enforcement Hall Elder Wei Chenyu advised.

"After all, Ling Xiaoxiao is also a proud daughter of heaven; she has already cultivated the Nine-Turn Nirvana to the seventh turn."

"If she successfully escapes this time, after the next Nirvana, her initial combat power will be at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Stage."

"Once the Nine-Turn Nirvana is fully completed and she successfully breaks through the Golden Core Stage Bottleneck, with such accumulated power, her strength will definitely not stop at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Peak Revered Master Di is naturally being extra careful, so as to avoid overturning in the gutter and having her lifelong reputation ruined."

Sect Master Tang Xuan sighed, "I really don't know what's going on recently. Traitors from the demonic Sect keep appearing in the Sect."

"Elder Wei, I think it is necessary to conduct a massive investigation and purge those rebels who secretly harbor intentions to subvert our Qingxuan Sect." Sect Master Tang Xuan said with pointed words.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will arrange this later."

Wei Chenyu understood the intention very well.

He instantly understood that Sect Master Tang Xuan wanted to use this as an excuse to strike at other factions and increase his own faction's strength.

After all, the vast Qingxuan Sect was not monolithic, and the relationships and factions within the Sect were intricate and complex.

Even as strong as Sect Master Tang Xuan, he could only scheme and balance multiple factions to keep himself firmly in the position of Sect Master.

This also made his orders, when issued, often subject to constraints.

As for dictating everything, that was not even worth thinking about.
