Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 509 - 264, Xu Xing is not a good kind!
A single stone stirred a thousand ripples!
If it were merely Hai’an, son of Song Dao, taking revenge on Xu Xing privately, this act of vengeance for his father would be understandable and justified by the laws of heaven and earth. However, if Ren Yuanrui’s secret decree were involved, the meaning would be different. Xu Xing, who was regarded by Ren Yuanrui as the inheritor of the Sect’s Immortal Veins, was forced to leave the Sect and became a castaway disciple, only to be targeted for revenge by Hai An in such a manner... If one claimed there was no connection between this and the high-level members of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, who would believe it?
Internal strife, severing the hopes of commoner disciples from the Master and Disciple Lineage, wasn’t the end of it. Now, even the direct disciple inheriting the Sect Master’s line of succession was to be utterly eliminated... They even dug up their tombs...
Could such a Sect still be considered a righteous sect, a famous righteous sect?
In the constant flux of the Mortal World’s dynasties, even an Emperor forced to abdicate could become a marquis living in peace, enjoying a life of wealth and privilege.
"Xu Xing..." Ruan Baimei gritted his teeth. No matter how shrewd and calculating he was, or how seasoned in handling matters, he couldn’t withstand Xu Xing’s coercion. Once the Immortal Decree was revealed... if it were true, all his benevolence, his line of succession, everything would become empty, a laughingstock in the eyes of others.
I regret not killing Hai An. On the other hand, the Hai Family Daoist also felt a sense of regret and was secretly resentful. To him and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, Hai An was nothing more than a minor character who could be easily killed on a whim. The reason they didn’t kill Hai An was that they didn’t believe Xu Xing had the ability to challenge the Hai Family—a powerful and widespread cultivating aristocratic family—and become an enemy of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, one of the Higher Teachings.
In other words, in the eyes of the Hai Family and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, a mere Nascent Soul Daoist Lord was not worth demeaning themselves to please. The Higher Teachings had their pride. The cultivating aristocratic families had their arrogance.
However, they never expected Xu Xing’s mind to be so vicious, deliberately guiding events to elevate Hai An’s personal grudge into an internal issue stemming from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace’s own internal chaos, directly shaking its very foundation.
Xu Xing sent the letter to the Hai Family, appearing sincere, revealing his true feelings, asking our Hai Family to deal with Hai An... but in fact, he calculated that our Hai Family would protect Hai An... preparing to make his move today.
The Hai Family Daoist recalled the events of the past few months, his face gradually turning somber, murderous intent flickering in his eyes. His meticulous planning of accumulating small advantages to build great momentum, coupled with his own aptitude... He had a hunch: if they didn’t kill Xu Xing as soon as possible and eradicate this former direct disciple of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, the Hai Family and the current Flying Feather Immortal Palace might not be far from their day of demise.
Three days... that should be enough. I’ll request Uncle Gong or Uncle Chi to come and eliminate this scourge... the Hai Family Daoist pondered.
Although at this time he hated Xu Xing to the bone, he had to admit that Xu Xing’s strength far surpassed that of any ordinary Nascent Soul Daoist Lord. As long as Primordial Spirit cultivators didn’t intervene, Xu Xing, a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord at the level of the Ten Great Sect Leaders, was definitely capable of dominating the world.
Regarding Sect Leader-level Daoist Monarchs, the various sects had a consensus. Unless five or more Dao Lords set up array techniques in advance, laying down a Heaven and Earth Net to jointly besiege them, it would be extremely difficult to succeed. Otherwise, even if a Sect Leader-level Daoist Monarch couldn’t withstand their combined power, escaping using Divine Powers and Secret Techniques would still be a relatively easy matter.
...
「Nanhua Sect, in front of the mountain gate.」
As Buxu Zi finished reciting the Immortal Decree, the cultivators from the various sects, amidst their shock, fell silent, not daring to utter a sound at this moment, lest they be antagonized by the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, one of the Higher Teachings. The atmosphere instantly became much quieter. So quiet, you could hear a pin drop!
Ruan Baimei’s rebuttal sent a jolt through the cultivators at the scene. The cultivators from the small factions were even more worried that, having heard this startling secret, they might be silenced by the Higher Teachings.
Just as the cultivators from the small factions were feeling uneasy, someone spoke up again. It was not someone from the Butian Sect or the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, but Teacher Tianhai, who had just now supported Xu Xing and vowed to eradicate Demon repair.
"The Flying Feather Immortal Palace is one of the Higher Teachings, while my Gold Light Temple is just a small faction," Teacher Tianhai recited a Buddhist mantra, tapped the Demon-Subduing Pestle in her hand, and asked. "By rights, this poor nun should not meddle, but... if the matter of digging up the Xu Imperial Mausoleum is true, why didn’t the Flying Feather Immortal Palace deal with it sooner?"
Just now, the Hai Family Daoist had covered up the matter under the pretext of a son avenging his father. Although she was a Righteous Monk, she felt it wasn’t her place to comment further. After all, it was an internal affair of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. However, after Buxu Zi recited the secret decree given by Ren Yuanrui, the "justified by the laws of heaven and earth" act of a son avenging his father no longer seemed so "justified by the laws of heaven and earth"... She now had a point of intervention.
"Whether Sect Master Ren’s secret decree is true or false... three days later, when Master Xu brings it, we of the various sects will know," Teacher Tianhai continued, sweeping her gaze over the people from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, hesitating for a moment before speaking again. "However, the fact that Hai An was protected by your sect should not be false. Avenging one’s father is justified by the laws of heaven and earth... but plotting against fellow sect members is something that all sects cannot tolerate. Moreover, the dispute between Song Knife and Master Xu had long been settled by Sect Master Ren, who allowed Song Knife to be Xu Xing’s whetstone. The victor and loser were to be decided within one generation. It is understandable for Hai An to avenge his father, but his sin should extend only to himself, not involving his relatives; that would be the Sect’s leniency..."
Those who walk the Righteous Path receive much aid; those who abandon it receive little. The internal strife within the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, which led to the Master and Disciple Lineage losing power while the Aristocratic Families gained, was a widely known affair that had long since cost them the support of the various sects. After all, among the various sects in the world, master-disciple inheritance was still the mainstream, outnumbering the bloodline inheritance of the cultivating aristocratic families.
