Hollow out the sect

At this moment, Crimson Luan was like a diligent little bee, busily digging people everywhere!

Although he didn't empty the Wenxian Sect, he had already dug out more than half of the people from the entire Wenxian Sect.

His great undertaking of digging people was flourishing.

It had been so long, yet no one in the vast sect had managed to notice.

The reason for this situation was that Crimson Luan offered too much!

Half-Immortal level cultivation techniques, and a promise to help his disciples overcome the Emperor Tribulation.

Few cultivators could resist such temptation.

Moreover, if he encountered those who were stubborn and couldn't be subdued, he would directly knock them out and seal them.

These three tactics worked surprisingly well.

Until this day!

Wenxian Sect Master Qin Wen and several Elders were strolling on the sect's ancient path, discussing the sect's future development plans.

Sect Master Qin Wen looked at the scattered two or three sect disciples on the path.

He was somewhat puzzled.

"Third Elder, why has the sect been so quiet recently?"

"Previously, when I went out, not to mention disciples being everywhere, but their figures cultivating and discussing the Dao could be seen all over the mountains."

"Now, we have walked for half a day, and the number of disciples we have seen is less than twenty."

The Third Elder was also somewhat puzzled by these words.

But after pondering for a moment, he quickly believed he had figured out the key.

He immediately smiled and said, "Sect Master, it's like this."

"Since the Five Elements Sect Master visited last time, I have increasingly realized that in this world, without strength, there is no right to speak."

"And disciples are the foundation of the sect's future."

"Therefore, I issued an order to encourage disciples in the sect to cultivate diligently."

"To strive for the rise of the sect!"

"Now it seems the effect is good."

"The fact that there are few disciples on these vast mountain roads doesn't it just show that they are all diligently in seclusion and cultivating assiduously?"

Upon hearing this, a three-part smile finally appeared on Qin Wen's puzzled face.

"Disciples are the foundation of the sect, and a good cultivation environment provides immeasurable assistance to their growth."

"Third Elder, you've done well!"

"If this trend can be maintained, the sect will credit you with a great achievement."

"Not at all!"

The Third Elder waved his hand, humbly saying, "This is merely my duty."

"The development of the sect cannot be separated from the Sect Master's protection."

"The Sect Master deserves the greatest credit for the sect reaching its current scale."

"How dare I claim such credit?"

Although he said this, his eyes were full of smiles, displaying an indescribable sense of self-satisfaction.

As they were talking and laughing, when they passed by a cliff.

A conversation caught the attention of Qin Wen and the others.

"Junior Sister, I have an astonishing opportunity here that I wish to share with you."

"Are you interested?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw a male and a female disciple leaning against an ancient tree, intimately embracing each other, under an ancient pine tree on a cliff a thousand zhang away from them.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, full of youthful vigor, clearly a perfect pair.

"Seeing them, I feel as if I'm reminded of my own lost youth."

The Third Elder's face was beaming with smiles.

Within the sect, dual cultivation was not forbidden.

The path of cultivation was full of hardships.

Many people would even seek out Dao companions on their cultivation journey to advance together hand in hand.

Sect Master Qin Wen also became somewhat interested.

He also wanted to hear what kind of astonishing opportunity the other party was talking about.

Under everyone's gaze.

On the opposite cliff, under the ancient pine, the female disciple asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, what kind of astonishing opportunity is it?"

"There is an elder who is currently recruiting disciples on a large scale within the sect."

"As long as you can gain that elder's favor and successfully become his disciple, you will be rewarded with a complete Half-Immortal level cultivation technique that can cultivate up to the Three-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal realm."

As soon as these words came out, not only was the woman shocked.

Qin Wen and the others also frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother, this... how is this possible?"

"You should know that the highest inherited cultivation technique in the Wenxian Sect can only cultivate up to the Two-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal realm."

"This, which elder in the sect could possess a Half-Immortal level cultivation technique that can cultivate to the Three-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal realm?"

"Then you don't know!"

"That elder is not from the Wenxian Sect."

"Ah... so, we are to... to betray our master and sect?"

"Junior Sister, that's not right!"

"How can a cultivator's business be called betrayal?"

"We are merely changing masters."

"We haven't done anything to harm the Wenxian Sect."

"Moreover, now, more than half of the disciples, enshrined elders, and protectors in the entire Wenxian Sect have successfully joined that elder's tutelage."

"Not only that, that elder promised that if we reach the Emperor Realm in the future, he will help his disciples successfully overcome the Emperor Tribulation."

"For us disciples with no background and no reliance, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If you miss this village, you won't find this shop!"

As soon as these words came out, the female disciple was instantly persuaded.

She said eagerly, "Then Senior Brother, let's go quickly, if we go late, we might miss the opportunity."

At the urging of the female disciple, the two no longer delayed, directly got up and rushed down the mountain, and soon their figures disappeared from sight.

And the information contained in their conversation was too vast and too astonishing.

It was like successive thunderbolts, directly making Qin Wen and the others' heads buzz.

At this moment, Qin Wen was completely distraught.

His eyes were bloodshot.

With bloodshot eyes and bulging veins on his face, he looked at the Third Elder.

He said word by word, "The people of the Wenxian Sect have almost all been stolen."

"You told me they were in seclusion cultivating?"

At this moment, he seriously suspected whether this guy had betrayed them.

More than half of the sect members had been dug away.

This was too egregious.

Even an Inner Sect Disciple knew about it, yet he, the Sect Master, had no inkling and had been kept in the dark.

The Third Elder met Qin Wen's unfriendly gaze and couldn't help but shiver.

At this moment, he no longer cared about reminiscing about his lost youth.

He explained anxiously, "Sect... Sect Master, this, this has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't know that there were thieves audacious enough to come to my Wenxian Sect and cause trouble."

"Sect Master, you know me, I have always been loyal to the sect and would never do anything to betray it."

To prove his innocence, the Third Elder directly swore an oath to the heavens.

"I swear by the name of the Heavenly Dao, if I have indeed done anything to betray the Wenxian Sect, may I die a horrible death, suffer eternal damnation, and never be reincarnated."

"Hoo~"

Qin Wen's chest heaved, his breathing rapid.

He was almost exploding with rage.

He felt a sense of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent.

For him, this was an absolute disgrace!

At this moment, the Six Elder, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"Sect Master, these two are disciples of our sect, and now they want to switch to another sect. Do you want me to capture them and bring them to justice?"

Qin Wen's face was grim.

"No need!"

"Follow them."

"I want to see who dares to be so presumptuous in my Wenxian Sect."

"No matter who it is, whoever dares to bully my Wenxian Sect like this, I will make him die~!"

A low roar, like the roar of a demon from hell.

Echoed in the valley.

It also signified that his killing intent had reached its peak.
