"Sister Yi, what are you laughing at? Is it because my question is stupid?"
"Of course not," Yirou smiled, "As long as I have your support, I feel very happy!"
Chapter 103 How can I bow my head and serve the powerful?
Because he could persecute the disciples of Xuanling Sect again, Tang Xin's points, which were about to hit bottom, began to rebound.
Not only that, in order to lower her support rate within the sect, she has gone even further and become even more vicious.
Punching and kicking, making students do push-ups as punishment, and undermining self-confidence are already common methods. After being used many times, the students' psychological adaptability has gradually improved a lot.
Habit becomes nature, and the effectiveness of this persecution is greatly reduced.
It doesn't matter, the chief sister of Xuanling Sect has more means than just these!
"Clean up the atmosphere!"
Tang Xin's words once again cast a dark cloud over the hearts of the Xuanling Sect's disciples.
Wearing clothes that were too revealing, holding hands in public, secretly hoarding publications brought from the outside world, wasting food when eating... In short, she always found various reasons to impose all kinds of strange punishments on her disciples in the name of "disturbing the morals."
In common parlance, this is called... looking for trouble.
However, Tang Xin's relaxed and happy behavior did not last long, as an urgent task came down from above.
The great elder Xuanmiao summoned Yirou and Tang Xin to the sect leader's hall and explained the situation to them.
"An important guest will arrive at Xuanling Sect and someone is needed to receive him."
"Important guest?"
Generally speaking, if it is a high-level monk, the person in charge of receiving him should be an elder, and if it is a young monk, the word "important" will not be emphasized.
The Xuanling Sect is already a large sect in Qingzhou with a high status. Even if the chief disciples of other sects come, they have to be polite and courteous and dare not act rashly.
Unless the other party’s background is much stronger than Xuanling Sect.
"The Saintess of Shengxian Mountain," Xuanmiao explained, "may be the next ruler of Shengxian Mountain, Xu Lexian."
"Holy Immortal Mountain!"
Qingzhou is a prosperous place among the nine states, with many large and small cultivation forces. The fact that Xuanling Sect can stand out from them is enough to show its foundation and strength.
However, there are quite a few forces similar to the Xuanling Sect in Qingzhou, such as the previous Qingxin Pavilion and Shansefang, which are at the same level as the Xuanling Sect.
And if we have to pick out a unique one from the immortal cultivation forces in Qingzhou, it can only be "Holy Immortal Mountain", which is recognized as the number one sect in Qingzhou.
In terms of inheritance, it is said that the Holy Immortal Mountain has stood on the continent for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and has experienced countless prosperity and disasters. It can be called the living history of the world of cultivation.
In terms of strength, the number of disciples under the Holy Immortal Mountain is countless times more than that of the Xuanling Sect. There are countless masters within the sect. It is said that there are also peerless strong men in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, who are more terrifying than the Daojun in the Hedao Stage.
In terms of status, Shengxian Mountain is one of the few "holy places" on the Kyushu continent. The word "holy place" means "transcendental" on the continent. In other words, if you don't move, you'll be fine, but if you move, it will be shocking.
The status of the Saint in the Holy Immortal Mountain is roughly equivalent to that of the chief of the Xuanling Sect. However, they are a holy land after all, and the selection qualifications and training efforts are not comparable to those of ordinary large sects.
"Why would the Saint of Shengxian Mountain come to us?"
Yirou said in confusion.
The Saintess was so high in status that even the elders of the Xuanling Sect might not be on the same level as her. When a strong person of Xuanmiao's status stood in front of her, the other party didn't have to perform a salute.
Xuanling Sect has no connection with Shengxian Mountain, so it is really strange that they came here suddenly.
"It's because of the demon exorcism in the Hundred Poison Mountains."
The Great Elder continued.
Shengxian Mountain did not participate in the demon-eliminating operation in the Hundred Poison Mountains.
The Sanctuary has never been involved in "activities" of this level.
Since you are aloof from the world, you must not act rashly, otherwise you will lose face.
The situations that require the Holy Land to be dispatched are often like the chaos of the Demonic Path a thousand years ago, or the continental crisis even more distant, which may lead to the destruction of the Jiuzhou cultivation world... Anyway, as long as the righteous path is not in urgent need, they will not easily intervene.
But being aloof from the world is one thing, and the impact of this incident is not small. It seems that not caring about it at all is not a good idea.
In addition, there are some different voices within the Holy Land, who believe that the influence of the Holy Land should be expanded.
Therefore, Shengxian Mountain sent out a saint girl, under the pretext of "inspecting Qingzhou", to visit various sects for exchanges and contacts, and she had already passed by many sects.
The next stop is the Xuanling Sect, which has become famous in the demon-killing operations.
"From the feedback from other sects," Elder Xuanmiao said helplessly, "this year's Saintess seems to be very difficult to deal with..."
There is no immortal cultivation sect in Qingzhou that does not want to have a good relationship with the Holy Immortal Mountain, so they all pay special attention to the visit of the Holy Maiden.
But, this saint is really...
"She is arrogant and rude. In the words of the elder of Shansefang, she is 'probably the one with the worst popularity among all the saints.'"
"What?" Tang Xin couldn't help but ask, "How can such a person become a saint?"
Sect inheritance is no joke. Will the elders let a person with a bad head take over the sect? A thousand-year foundation, aren't you afraid of it being destroyed in an instant?
"Because of his extraordinary talent."
Elder Xuanmiao’s words were concise and to the point.
The outside world had no idea how talented Xu Lexian was, but since even Shengxian Mountain overlooked her character flaws, her talent must be ridiculously high.
"The Saint is a young monk, so the reception work still has to be done by the disciples," the elder returned to the topic and said, "This task falls on the two of you."
"You don't need to try to get close to me. I just hope you don't let the Saint have a negative impression of the Xuanling Sect."
The cultivators cultivate to become "immortals", but the immortal sects they cultivate do not.
Immortal cultivation sects also need to cultivate "human relations and worldly wisdom"...
There is no way. It’s not that I don’t want to “bow my head and serve the powerful”, but the other party’s status and position are too domineering and I can’t afford to offend them.
"This can be considered a sect reputation mission," the Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two outstanding disciples were still looking like they could handle it. "If you complete it well, you will be rewarded with reputation points, which are more important than those on the mission list."
To please the Saint and establish good relations with the Holy Immortal Mountain may contribute more to the reputation of the Xuanling Sect than killing ten Jindan spirit beasts. It is reasonable to increase the weight of this task.
"This matter is no joke," Elder Xuanmiao emphasized again, "You must take it seriously, understand?"
"Yes!"
Yirou clasped her fists and vowed solemnly.
"Disciple will do his best to let the Saint Lady of Shengxian Mountain leave a good impression on Xuanling Sect!"
Tang Xin scratched his head.
She didn't want to get in touch with such a troublesome person, as it was guaranteed that nothing good would happen. Besides, she didn't want to earn reputation points, so there was no need to please the saint.
Just let Yirou go and make the Saint happy. Isn't this guy good at winning her favor?
[Main storyline objectives are being updated...]
[Main storyline goal: murder the saint. ]
"???"
Chapter 104: You look down on me, don't you?
[Main storyline objective: To murder the Saint, there are two ways to complete it. ]
【Method 1: Kill the Saint. 】
[Method 2: Each time you perform a murder action, you will get corresponding points. Once you have accumulated 10,000 murder points, you have completed the goal.]
[Hint: If the Saint discovers and identifies the murder, the mission will fail immediately. ]
[If the main storyline goal is not completed, you will enter the next stage of the story "The Voice of the Netherworld before Dusk"]
The previous main storyline goal was "preserving the spark of evil", and this time the main storyline goal is "murdering the saint of righteousness".
Anyway, you just don’t allow people to play, right?
"Tang Xin?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Elder Xuanmiao reminded her.
"disciple."
Tang Xin took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"Do your best..."
……
In the territory of Xuanling Sect, on the road leading to the mountain gate of Xuanling Sect, a group of people were marching slowly.
There were actually quite a few teams entering and leaving Xuanling Sect every day. For such a large sect, the supplies needed to be consumed by the inner and outer sects were not few, and some supplies that could not be self-sufficient had to be sent in from the outside.
But the team in front of them was obviously not here to deliver goods.
"This is……"
A monk exclaimed
"The kirin gilded chariot?"
The big car in the middle of the team is very eye-catching.
In the world of cultivation, using spirit beasts to pull carts is not a rare thing, but they are usually ordinary spirit beasts. Even for high-end vehicles, the spirit beasts used are at most faster and have better endurance.
The two on the road are using the Scaled Beast, which is said to have a trace of the bloodline of the mythical beast Qilin.
The Scaled Beast is a high-level species among spiritual beasts, possessing excellent growth attributes. If carefully cultivated, it can even evolve to the Nascent Soul stage.
When a sect cultivating immortality obtains this kind of spiritual beast, they usually raise it in the sect and cultivate it as the sect's guardian spiritual beast.
Using this kind of high-level spiritual beast to pull a cart can only be described in two words... luxurious!
The spirit beast that pulls the cart is so valuable, so naturally the cart itself can’t be too bad.
The body of the Qilin Gilded Chariot is a precious spiritual weapon that combines attack and defense. An ordinary Jindan cultivator cannot even destroy its outer shell. It can also block all wind and rain from the outside world, and even noise cannot be transmitted.
There are only a few of these advanced vehicles in the entire Qingzhou, and many cultivators are seeing them for the first time.
"Stop."
