Chapter 54 The Shocked and Enraged Golden Core Cultivator
Seeing that many elders were pointing the finger at him, the white-haired old man's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The series of events concerning Jiang Chuan were indeed orchestrated by him at the behest of Master Biyang.
This includes selecting four women, including Song Yuyao and Liu Yu, to infiltrate Jiang Chuan's inner circle, whispering in his ear, and today "poisoning" him...
However, he never expected Jiang Chuan to be so fierce.
Upon realizing he had been poisoned, Jiang Chuan surprisingly detonated himself without hesitation.
Even Song Yuyao, Liu Yu, and the other three women, who had been intimate with each other, were reduced to dust and perished in the self-destruction.
Such decisiveness, such ruthlessness, such cold-bloodedness were beyond his expectations.
But he couldn't tell these things to the other elders in the hall...
He clasped his hands in a fist salute and looked at Master Biyang, his voice trembling slightly:
"Sect Master, what should we do next?"
At this moment, after confirming that Jiang Chuan had truly self-destructed and perished, the calm lake of Biyang Zhenren, sitting in the main seat, was suddenly stirred up by a storm, disturbing his state of mind.
"You can view the sect's thousand-year-old heritage, and take all kinds of elixirs and beautiful women... But I only wanted your cultivation technique, and you actually self-destructed. What is the reason for this?"
"Such an unparalleled genius, if his master truly existed, what would his reaction be upon learning the news?"
"Ye Hao, you're ruthless!"
Master Biyang was filled with shock and anger, a chill ran through him, and a terrifying shadow fell over his heart.
To be able to teach someone to such an unparalleled genius, one must at least possess the Golden Core cultivation level, and not just any ordinary low-grade Golden Core cultivator like himself, but likely a high-grade Golden Core cultivator above the sixth rank. Furthermore, the difference in combat power between different levels of Golden Core cultivators is even greater than that between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And it's not just the Golden Core...
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of impending doom.
He asked himself,
If a disciple I have carefully nurtured were to perish mysteriously in another sect, and if my cultivation were sufficient, I would certainly not hesitate to storm that sect and avenge this blood feud with swift and decisive means…
"No, we can't panic. We need to come up with a plan."
"He might just be a lucky one who received a heaven-defying inheritance. Without that so-called master, who knows..."
Master Biyang's eyes flickered, and in the blink of an eye, various guesses and inferences flashed through his mind.
As a Golden Core cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, commanded immense power, and led tens of thousands of disciples, his cunning was naturally first-rate.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to fight one's way through the encirclement and embark on the path to the Golden Core.
After a moment,
Master Biyang looked at everyone in the hall, his voice still deep and resonant as it had been for millennia:
"I know the whole story. There's no need for you to panic. The sky won't fall!"
Hearing Master Biyang's reply, everyone in the hall was somewhat relieved.
The white-haired elder forced a smile and asked, "Sect Master, how should we explain this to the sect disciples?"
Master Biyang remained silent for a moment before speaking: "No need for explanation. Anyone who dares to speak recklessly will be killed!"
The elders in the hall all sensed a chilling edge in Master Biyang's tone, and were immediately startled. They quickly bowed and clasped their hands in unison.
"I will obey the sect leader's orders!"
Master Biyang's gaze swept over the dozen or so elders in the hall, and he spoke calmly and without batting an eye:
"Elder Tong and Elder Yu, please stay. Everyone else, please leave."
After the other elders in the hall left,
Master Biyang looked at his two direct disciples, a complex expression flashing across his face, and spoke softly:
"Do you two know why you have been left behind?"
"We do not know!"
The two elderly men with white hair shook their heads uneasily.
Master Biyang sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Now that Ye Hao is dead, his mysterious master may come seeking revenge, and our Biyang Sect may face a great calamity."
The two were startled.
"Grandmaster, has his master been identified?"
"Who exactly is he? Could he possibly dare to attack my Biyang Immortal Sect?"
"It's still too early to tell, but we must be on guard."
Master Biyang said quietly:
"Both of you are my closest relatives. Do what I'm about to say in silence, and do not let it be told to anyone else."
The two men looked solemn and said, "Please give your instructions, Master."
"Next, you will arrange for your direct disciples to go out and undertake some missions, preferably far away from the sect's territory. You can also secretly entrust them with some of the sect's core inheritances and resources... Remember, this matter must not be spread outside; it can only be done in secret to avoid causing turmoil within the sect..."
Upon hearing this, both of them were startled, and they instantly understood the purpose of such an arrangement.
The white-haired old man's voice trembled slightly: "Master, is the situation truly that critical?"
Master Biyang shook his head and then nodded.
"Ye Hao's origins are mysterious, and he possesses extraordinary opportunities. He may have a powerful and mysterious master, or it may just be his idle talk... However, we cannot gamble. We need to make plans in advance, just in case."
Both of them were shrewd and immediately understood what Master Biyang meant. They exchanged a glance and quickly expressed their agreement.
"Rest assured, Master, we will certainly handle this well!"
Master Biyang waved his hand: "Alright, you all go and prepare, but don't let a word of it leak out!"
"We'll take our leave!"
After the two left,
Master Biyang gazed wistfully into the distance, his unease growing ever stronger.
"It's time to head to Yunmeng Immortal City and visit those old friends!"
…………
Yunmeng Immortal City, Yanhu Villa.
After Jiang Chuan detonated his clone, he breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"...Haha, this move of mine will definitely scare the Biyang Sect half to death! They'll never expect that I'll just self-destruct and stop playing with you."
"No matter how many plans or schemes you make, in the end it will all be for nothing."
"Who knows, the entire sect is currently on high alert, bracing for my master to come knocking on our door..."
He could already foresee it.
What kind of turmoil and impact would be caused by this peerless genius with a mysterious background suddenly exposing himself?
Over the past two months, the Biyang Immortal Sect has invested a great deal of resources in him, but in the end, it all went down the drain.
It feels like a huge loss just thinking about it.
Jiang Chuan sighed inwardly, "Alas, I wanted to leave quietly and make a good relationship in the future, but who told you to resort to such underhanded tactics? This is a good opportunity for me to get away."
"Forget it, how the Biyang Immortal Sect deals with it is none of my business."
"After this trip, it's been a rare experience. Now, it's time to settle down and focus on farming and developing my business."
Jiang Chuan glanced at the system.
In the section on Taoist techniques, there are already hundreds of new cultivation methods and secret arts. He has openly and legitimately obtained the more than 1,000-year-old heritage of the Biyang Immortal Sect.
With these techniques as a reference and foundation,
Given enough lifespan, one can continue "nurturing the hundred scriptures in the furnace," creating the "Foundation Building Chapter" of the "Chaos Dao Scripture," and then rapidly improve one's cultivation.
The Golden Elixir is not a dream, and the Nascent Soul stage is within reach.
"I still have 290 years of lifespan remaining. I don't know what the harvest of the second-tier spirit field will be yet, so I'd better not waste my life for now."
"Next, let's farm and develop!"
