Chapter 168

The Supreme Elder believed that Sect Master Xuanming was not the mastermind, after all, a thousand years ago, Sect Master Xuanming was just a junior disciple who had just embarked on the path of immortality and did not have that ability.

But to say he didn't know? Ha!

The Supreme Elder did not dwell on the matter. He would investigate the truth himself and then decide whether the sect leader's lineage was guilty or not.

However, "send a message to your master to come back."

Immortal Lord Xiao Xu is not currently at the Qingxiao Sect. After breaking through to the Mahayana stage a few years ago, he went out to seek opportunities and comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

Sect Master Xuanming concealed the malice in his eyes and respectfully agreed.

In the end, however, the Supreme Elder was unable to uncover the whole truth.

Immortal Lord Xiao Xu was an even more troublesome character than Sect Master Xuanming. After returning to Qingxiao Sect, he immediately knelt down at the foot of Yunhai Peak to beg for forgiveness, weeping and saying that he was useless and did not know that Tianyang Peak was hiding such a demonic creature...

He will definitely find out who is behind this and give an explanation to all the righteous sects in the cultivation world.

Later, all the evidence pointed to Xiao Xu Xianjun's Daoist partner. It was she and the immortal sect family behind her who had the wolfish ambition to create a demon race, bring a demon seed into the world, take advantage of its weakness, control it, and turn it into a weapon in their hands to rule the entire Hunyuan Continent!

This is absolutely outrageous!

The Supreme Elder was furious, but when she interrogated Xiao Xu's Daoist partner about whether there were any other accomplices, she directly revealed herself.

All the core members of her family who were involved also died unexpectedly!

The rest are just people who only follow orders and have no access to the core secrets; even soul searching is useless against them.

The trail went cold.

It's as if the "culprit" has been caught and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

But the Supreme Elder was no fool. He looked at Immortal Lord Xiao Xu, who was crying in despair because of his Daoist partner's self-destruction, with a deep gaze.

In the past, he only thought that the sect leader's lineage was good at scheming because they had to manage such a large immortal sect, but their hearts were still open and honest.

But at some point, they changed, becoming greedy, unscrupulous, and utterly depraved.

Controlling the demonic seed?

Oh!

Above cultivators are immortals, and gods are above all living beings, living as long as heaven and earth.

Demon gods are terrifying beings feared by all gods, yet a mere cultivator dares to foolishly attempt to control their reincarnation?

How ridiculous! How foolish! How overestimating their own abilities!

The Supreme Elder surely understood that Xiao Xu's Daoist partner was merely a scapegoat pushed out, and the mastermind behind it all was someone else.

But Xiao Xu was too cunning; he basically didn't handle anything himself, delegating everything to his subordinates.

He has always been a righteous and awe-inspiring immortal lord, and it's impossible to catch him.

However, the Supreme Elder could not deal with Immortal Lord Xiao Xu, but what about his henchmen?

He'll pluck them all off one by one.

Listening to the Supreme Elder ruthlessly punish the people of their sect leader's lineage, Immortal Lord Xiao Xu appeared heartbroken and helpless, but his lowered eyes were full of malice.

Lingxiao Immortal Venerable!

Very good!

He'll remember this grudge!

With such a huge mess in the lineage of Immortal Lord Xiao Xu, they naturally cannot continue to hold the position of sect leader of Qingxiao Sect. They have to give an explanation to the entire cultivation world!

Sect Master Xuanming... oh no, now I can only call him True Monarch Xuanming. No matter how unwilling and resentful he was, it was useless. Who told them to be so unlucky? The lightning tribulation didn't strike anywhere else, but it struck Tianyang Peak, directly exposing their secrets hidden for thousands of years to the light of day.

The more Xuanming thought about it, the more he hated Baili Han.

Sure enough, his premonition was right; that blond-haired kid was their nemesis.

Not only did they steal their treasures, but they also ruined their reputation, causing their status in the Qingxiao Sect and the cultivation world to plummet.

It is utterly hateful!

Xuanming went directly to Immortal Lord Xiao Xu to complain, hoping that his master would quickly find a way to kill that damned Baili Han.

Outside, the grieving Immortal Lord Xiao Xu sat high on the cultivation platform, surrounded by rich spiritual energy that turned into white mist. Who wouldn't think he was a holy immortal?

Unfortunately, the moment this "immortal" opened his eyes, all he saw was filthy and dark desire.

"Don't make any rash moves for now, lest that old bastard Ling Xiao finds another excuse. This time we've been severely weakened, and next time there won't be a scapegoat."

Under Xiao Xuxianjun's gaze, Xuanming felt a chill and understood his master's words: if they caused trouble again and were caught by the Supreme Elder, he would not protect any of them.

No one wants to die, and cultivators who have long lifespans and the opportunity to become immortals are even more afraid of death.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will keep a close eye on Tianyi and prevent him from doing anything reckless."

Immortal Lord Xiao Xu was quite satisfied with this disciple; he was intelligent and resourceful.

But as for that grand-disciple...

His tone was ambiguous, "I now have some suspicions that the old scoundrel Lingxiao deliberately brought Duan Tianyi to Qingxiao Sect and abandoned his precious great-granddaughter's Daoist partner contract in order to scheme against us."

Look at the stupid things Duan Tianyi did. He's such a terrible teammate. Who wouldn't suspect he's an undercover agent?

Xuanming was shocked. "No, that can't be, right? Grandmaster Uncle cares so much about Wen Xin, and besides..."

Xuanming Zhenjun paused for a moment, then said subtly, "Duan Tianyi doesn't have that kind of brain."

Xiao Xu Zhenjun: "..."

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, their hearts heavy with sorrow.

They recruited Duan Tianyi to be a tool to deal with the Supreme Elder, but what happened?

Yes, that sharp weapon pierced right into their bodies!

On the contrary, the Supreme Elder's sealing of the demon and protection of the entire Qingxiao Sect and the cultivation world has made his reputation even more widespread, and he is increasingly revered by the world, making his position unshakeable.

They completely lost out!

Immortal Lord Xiao Xu rubbed his forehead, "Duan Tianyi is too stupid."

Xuanming Zhenjun had absolutely no idea what to say.

They brainwashed and flattered Duan Tianyi to make him obey, but who knew...

Remembering that Baili Han was also Duan Tianyi's disciple, Xuanming Zhenjun felt like vomiting blood.

Wen Xin sneered: Cleverness can backfire!

In his previous life, Duan Tianyi was indeed the most important pawn in bringing down the Supreme Elder, allowing Xiao Xuxianjun and his group to achieve a great victory.

But can they take advantage of Duan Tianyi?

Why can't Wen Xin do it?

The male lead is really a great tool!

If you can hit exactly where you point it, and use it well, anyone can make a fortune!

This time, Wen Xin has the upper hand. If she loses to Xiao Xu Xianjun and the others again, she might as well just kill herself.

Duan, the clever but useless male protagonist: "!!!???"

However, Xiao Xuxianjun's instruction to Xuanming and the others to calm down did not mean that he did not take his disciple's words seriously or underestimated the disciple named Baili Han.

How could someone who dared to venture into the Sword Tomb and obtain the Immortal Sword during the Foundation Establishment stage, and who could freeze demons during the Golden Core stage, be a nobody?

If given a few hundred more years, another genius sword master will likely emerge in the cultivation world!

Unfortunately, he is now wholeheartedly devoted to the Supreme Elder, making him a major threat.

If we don't eliminate him while he's still weak, they'll be the ones who suffer when he gets stronger!
