The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 739 - 245: Old Foxes, Just a Bunch of Old Foxes!
"This is human nature, even if I wanted to control it, I couldn’t, because as the Sect Leader, I will either die today or in a few years."
Immortal Xuan You, seeing Cao Zhengyang and the others get angry, quickly explained.
Everyone, including Zhou Qing, furrowed their brows.
It must be said, this kind of open scheme is indeed quite ruthless and unsolvable.
At that time, the miners, shops, disciples in training, or on missions of the Taiqing Sect scattered across various places would need to be on guard against these desperados.
After all, those with nothing to lose are never afraid of those who have something to protect.
Besides, he believed that people from the other Three Sects would also disguise themselves as Taiqing Sect disciples to cause destruction and subsequently frame them openly.
By then, the Taiqing Sect would truly be exhausted, running around everywhere.
If the higher-level forces were dispersed, they could also be defeated one by one by those with ulterior motives.
Therefore, there’s a certain rationale for the Eastern Domain’s Five Great Sects to have maintained their heritage until now.
Cao Zhengyang stood silently watching Immortal Xuan You, rapidly contemplating the pros and cons.
This woman, who entered the sect last year, yet managed to become the Sect Leader of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect today, indeed had some means.
Seeing everyone’s expressions slightly relax, Immortal Xuan You calmly said, "I have less than ten years of lifespan left, and the sect now only has four martial uncles left. How many more years can they live?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
When Immortal Xuan You reached this point, she slowly bowed, her posture humble, her tone earnest.
"We will naturally pass away, and naturally, no one will blame this enmity on the Taiqing Sect. I ask Cao, for the sake of past ties, to leave a legacy for the sect."
After bowing, she took out a Storage Bag from her bosom, driven by spiritual power towards Zhou Qing.
"It is indeed our mistake in this matter, so besides Elder Ji Xuan losing her physical body because of you, we have also prepared a generous gift to express our apologies!"
Immortal Xuan You said sincerely.
Zhou Qing looked at the Storage Bag floating in front of him and did not reach out for it.
"In addition, there is a special compensation from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect to the Taiqing Sect!"
Immortal Xuan You took out another manual and sent it floating towards Cao Zhengyang.
When Cao Zhengyang saw the list on it, his originally stern face instantly showed emotion, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
"Isn’t this more than half of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect’s assets and various regional mines and shops?" Cao Zhengyang asked in surprise.
Immortal Xuan You’s expression was calm, but there was a faint hint of sadness in her eyes as she said, "It’s better than cutting off the inheritance, just hoping to extinguish your sect’s anger."
Cao Zhengyang looked at the list in front of him again, hesitated a bit but was still full of concerns.
He then slowly scanned Zhou Qing and the Peak Masters, eyes full of inquiry.
To be honest, Immortal Xuan You had already explained the drawbacks, and now she was making such compensation while lowering her stance.
If they were to go to war, they couldn’t really obtain these things successfully. Both sides would be harmed, leaving them with a mess.
Especially with these junior brothers and sisters behind him, in another year or a year and a half, they could enter seclusion to use the Yin Spirit Stone to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection.
He didn’t want any of them to be injured or even fall in this battle.
Moreover, there were so many Outer Sect people around, eager to take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, no one spoke, but everyone focused their gaze on Zhou Qing.
After all, they had come here to stand up for Zhou Qing, and his attitude would significantly influence the outcome of this matter.
Zhou Qing stared intently at Immortal Xuan You, seemingly reassessing this woman.
What a tactic!
After a brief hesitation, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I want to see Yuan Ya."
Immortal Xuan You’s face suddenly changed, a trace of panic flashing across her originally pale face.
Hesitating for a moment, she raised her head, met Zhou Qing’s gaze, and said, "She’s dead!"
Zhou Qing’s eyes squinted slightly, a chilling murderous intent emanating from his body like a tangible force.
Yan Xiaohu also couldn’t believe it and immediately looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing’s face was icy, taking a step forward, his gaze like a sharp blade locked onto Immortal Xuan You, questioning, "Was it because she helped me?"
Immortal Xuan You nodded, making no attempt to hide the truth.
At this point, any lie would be meaningless and would only worsen the situation.
"Yes, she was possessed by Elder Ji Xuan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing trembled slightly, a flash of anger and sorrow in his eyes.
Indeed, it was him who got her killed.
"Zhou, it was indeed rash of Elder Ji Xuan. She only had a Primordial Spirit left at the time and was in a hurry..."
"Die!"
"Wha-what?"
Zhou Qing looked at Immortal Xuan You with icy eyes, coldly stating, "She must die!"
Cao Zhengyang, seeing this, seemed to realize that this woman named Yuan Ya was very important to Zhou Qing.
At this moment, he stood up and added, "Immortal Xuan You, the will of Zhou Qing is also the will of my Taiqing Sect. Since this is the case, we can consider the suggestions you’ve proposed."
Immortal Xuan You’s face turned white, all blood drained, her lips trembling slightly.
She shook her head directly, just about to speak in defense, when a figure suddenly emerged from the mountain gate behind her.
It was Yuan Ya, already possessed.
Seeing the unfamiliar look in the other’s eyes, Zhou Qing clenched his fists tightly.
Ji Xuan came forward, meeting Zhou Qing’s eyes, giving a bitter smile.
"It was I who suggested the idea to the Sect Leader, I who kidnapped you, I who hunted you, and even I who spread rumors at Spirit Skull Mountain!"
"I acknowledge these debts, but—"
As Ji Xuan spoke, a wisp of Primordial Spirit emerged from Yuan Ya’s body.
