Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 61 Ruthless

Xie Lingshan spoke calmly, as if he were not a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect in the Water Mansion.

Yin Xuan and Lin Wusuan, who were standing to the side, also did not react.

At least the Beast Taming Sect gave them a chance to live.

The Yin Soul Sect had long been fighting amongst themselves. The victors would gain the opportunity to enter the Lesser Immortal Realm, while the losers would become nourishment for their fellow disciples to improve their combat power, leaving nothing to waste.

The Lin family, of course, needs no further introduction.

Li Qingbai almost laughed in anger upon hearing this.

The scheme succeeded entirely because Xie Lingshan had no bottom line; he sold off so many disciples without hesitation. If he remembered correctly, the cultivators on the Beast Taming Sect's Prodigy Ranking were among them.

This is half an open conspiracy.

Once the trap is set, the Sword Sect will definitely step into it, since Sword Sect disciples cannot easily abandon their fellow disciples.

Lin Wusuan then spoke up, "Li Qingbai, just wait here with us. None of us can interfere inside. Life and death are preordained, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. Isn't this a common occurrence in the cultivation world? This is a good opportunity to help your Sword Sect disciples adapt to this situation."

"Speaking of which, one of our Lin family members has joined your Sword Sect, and he's quite remarkable now. I wonder where he is? Could I possibly meet him? After all, we're from the same clan... Could he also be in this Water Mansion?"

Li Qingbai looked at Lin Wusuan.

Aside from the three major forces of the Sword Sect in the Xuanling Domain, the one he couldn't understand the most was Lin Wusuan.

Three hundred years ago, Lin Wusuan became famous in the Xuanling Domain. Not only was he exceptionally talented, breaking through to the Dao Foundation before the age of one hundred, but he was also known as one of the smartest people in the world and soon became the head of the Lin family.

Everyone believed that he could lead the Lin family to even greater heights.

But who would have thought that the first thing he did after taking office was to suppress dissent?

The enemy must be eliminated, and the neutral must also be eliminated.

Now, three hundred years later, the Lin family has become nothing more than playthings of Lin Wusuan's lineage.

This lineage is capable of doing anything absurd if they want to.

For example, when the spiritual energy was about to be cut off, the Lin family drove away their bloodline and left behind their daughter who was married off.

This behavior would raise questions for anyone who saw it.

But the Lin family did just that.

Lin Wusuan, as the head of the family, did not stop it.

Of course, these matters were none of Li Qingbai's concern. Seeing Lin Wusuan mention Lin Chao, he said, "Patriarch Lin, since you value it so much, the Lin family and my Sword Sect must have a close relationship!"

Lin Wusuan did not respond, but said, "It seems that it is indeed in this water mansion. Then I am relieved. Although the family has done everything they could to abandon them, young people will never understand the good intentions of their elders and are prone to resentment."

"If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter. Even if they harbored resentment, they couldn't shake the foundation of the Lin family. But Lin Chao is too talented. Once he has any ideas about the Lin family, the Lin family's countless years of inheritance will be in danger."

"If only we could die in the Water Mansion, we wouldn't have killed Lin Chao. The Sword Sect would have no reason to seek revenge on our Lin family, and Lin Chao wouldn't have been able to grow stronger. It would have been a win-win situation for everyone."

His tone was cold, not at all like he was talking about a younger member of his family.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingshan chuckled twice and said, "Patriarch Lin, the reason you're on our side is because you know Lin Chao has entered the Water Mansion. If you weren't plotting against Lin Chao, you probably wouldn't have come back."

It's impossible to expect the Beast Taming Sect to bear the wrath of the Sword Sect.

Li Qingbai is truly a formidable fighter.

As for the Yin Soul Sect, they didn't have any schemes.

This sect has a deep-seated grudge against the Sword Sect.

He casually gave a notification, and Yin Xuan arrived at the scene.

Of the top ten geniuses in the Xuanling Domain, the Sword Sect occupies four seats, making the Yin Soul Sect, as the Sword Sect's old enemy, extremely uneasy.

Now that the opportunity has arrived, we should naturally seize it.

It would be wonderful if Lin Chao, Wang Qiudao, and Sun Minglong were all dead.

Xie Lingshan continued, "Li Qingbai, you are indeed strong enough. If you want revenge afterward, it will be very easy for you. I can't stop you."

"But it doesn't matter. You can kill as many disciples and elders of the Beast Taming Sect as you want, even if you wipe them all out. I should thank you for relieving the pressure on my Beast Taming Sect's Lesser Immortal Realm!"

"However, many disciples and elders know nothing about this. If you're going to kill them, I'd be happy to see it."

Li Qingbai glanced at Xie Lingshan but did not speak.

He knew very well that Xie Lingshan couldn't possibly be completely indifferent to the legacy of the Beast Taming Sect.

After all, if they really didn't care, they wouldn't have bothered to scheme against the Sword Sect.

But one thing is clear: killing the Beast Taming Sect disciples who are currently in the public eye will not help.

Since Xie Lingshan dared to do this, the true core of the Beast Taming Sect is probably already hidden somewhere, and may even have entered the Lesser Immortal Realm.

The Metaverse has never lacked conservative forces.

Instead of vying for the fortune before the spiritual energy was about to run out, they deliberately avoided it, entering the Lesser Immortal Realm when the fortune was at its most active, in order to seek the next era.

After all, competing for destiny is risky, and doing so will better preserve the legacy.

The same applies to the Yin Soul Sect and the Lin family.

Afterward, Li Qingbai ignored the three and turned to leave. He found Chen Changming and asked, "Have you notified the disciples in the Water Mansion?"

Chen Changming nodded: "Sect Master, we have already notified them. Many disciples have already organized themselves, and some cultivators at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage have also entered. However, just now, some cultivators at the seventh level or above of the Nascent Soul stage from the Beast Taming Sect, the Yin Soul Sect, and the Lin family also entered."

"They went in only to stop my Sword Sect disciples."

"In addition, those water beasts are troublesome. They received too many blessings in the Water Palace. Fortunately, those water beasts do not seem to dare to approach the palace and only dare to linger nearby."

"Will the water beasts disperse on their own after a while?" Lu Qing wondered.

However, Sect Leader Li Qingbai shook his head: "The other three forces are still involved, and they will definitely stir up trouble on their own."

"Sect Master, not only that, but we just received news that the water beasts seem to be gradually losing their fear of the palace. One of the water beasts even broke through a palace. Fortunately, there were two disciples at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage there, who managed to protect the people and get them away." Chen Changming received the news and immediately reported it to his leader.

House seemingly endless rain.

Xie Lingshan's side naturally received the news as well.

For them, this couldn't be better news.

"Does this mean we can only let those disciples save themselves?" one of the elders asked, frowning.

"The Beast Taming Sect has gone mad. They've mobilized the entire sect just to scheme against our Sword Sect," an elder cursed fiercely.

There's simply no way to deal with this situation.

The enemy is not afraid of your retaliation at all.

They might even be hoping you'll retaliate to help them lighten their burden.

"We weren't this crazy before!"

"The spiritual energy is about to be cut off; we can no longer view this by ordinary standards..."

The Sword Sect rose to prominence in this era, and in some aspects, it is truly lacking in experience.

Even Li Qingbai hadn't expected Xie Lingshan to be so crazy.

Chen Changming said, "It's not the worst yet. Many of the disciples who went to the Water Mansion to provide support know combined attack techniques. As long as some of them break through the blockade of the three major sects, they can rescue the trapped disciples."

"Therefore, what the disciples trapped inside the Water Mansion need to do is hold out for as long as possible. Those who are stronger will be fine, but those who are weaker..."

"There aren't many disciples in the Water Mansion who are strong enough. Even Wang Qiudao can only barely contend with the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing Realm."

After a long silence, Li Qingbai spoke up: "Explain the whole situation and tell the disciples to hold on for a while. Also, make it clear that if things become unmanageable, as long as you are not deliberately harming your fellow disciples, whatever choice you make, matters within the Water Mansion will remain matters within the Water Mansion."
