Chapter 31 031 Nan Yulou is filled with regret

031

His heart pounded. Fairy Tian Shu seemed quite familiar with him, and for some reason, Jiang Bin felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her. Being young and attracted to young women, he was perhaps more than just a servant; he was also a boy.

Others say that Fairy Tian Shu is as aloof as a secluded orchid, but the rumors are not true at all. Fairy Tian Shu is simply frail and doesn't like to appear in public often.

The two chatted and laughed, and Tian Shu even shared the spiritual fruit that Jiang Bin had given him with Jiang Bin.

It was like a dream.

But even dreams have an end.

As he was leaving, he heard the familiar, delicate sound of bells.

Jiang Bin froze.

The Heavenly Pivot Fairy wears a golden bell at her waist, which she shakes whenever the Greedy Wolf summons her.

Today, Shu also picked it, shook it in front of him, and said with a smile, "My senior brother gave it to me to play with."

Jiang Bin, however, seemed to have been slapped hard several times.

He felt that the Fairy Tian Shu in front of him was indescribably hateful. He thought that he and his fellow disciples were the same and must be secretly gossiping about how ridiculous his servant was.

Jiang Bin forced a smile and fled in disarray.

Now, the golden bell is missing a piece, but when you shake it, it still makes that familiar tinkling sound, swaying precariously as it's tied to the umbrella handle, ringing out in that same tinkling manner.

Jiang Bin activated the bright red umbrella, and the roses on its surface, soaked with blood, became even more vibrant and luscious.

After seven days of continuous attacks on Yaoguangmen, the entire Yaoguangmen army was completely routed.

Fairy Mei Yue was about to serve Xie Qingyu on the Yuanyuan Heaven, but Yaoguang Sect had already suffered a great loss of vitality.

First, the sect leader was killed, then the Liuli Pavilion threatened him, which is why Mei Yue finally submitted to Jiang Bin.

After Mei Yue's death, Yao Guang Sect was already vulnerable, and there was also Elder Mei Fei, a traitor who had turned against them.

Jiang Bin's post about Mei Fei killing Mei Yue shook people's hearts, and Mei Fei gathered another group of his trusted clansmen to defect to his side.

At this point, the remaining stubborn resistance of the Yaoguang Sect is no longer a concern.

With Jiang Bin's support, "assisting" Mei Fei's campaign, the overall situation was already settled in just seven days.

The remaining prisoners are either dead or have surrendered, so they are no longer a concern.

Jiang Bin also took Nan Yulou with him on this campaign, which gave Nan Yulou quite a fright.

As the saying goes, a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen. The Tianchi Sect of the third level has done many ruthless things, but Nan Yulou doesn't need to witness them firsthand.

The infighting and devouring between sects was so bloody, a far cry from the peaceful playfulness of the Bixia Sect before.

The stench of blood was overwhelming, and Nan Yulou almost vomited, but Jiang Cui had no time to take care of him at the moment.

As Jiang Bin's younger sister, Jiang Cui also killed several Yao Guang disciples and was a loyal general under Jiang Bin.

The stench of blood was overwhelming. Jiang Binyan's umbrella hung in the air, its golden bells jingling incessantly, like the wailing of a demon seeking death.

Jiang Bin, dressed in silver robes and smiling, said loudly, "The fate of Yao Guang Sect is now exhausted, and the former sect leader has been dead for a year. I don't think this sect will produce any cultivators at the half-immortal level. Rather than seeing your cultivation level drop in two years, you might as well submit to my Liuli Pavilion and become a disciple of my Liuli Pavilion!"

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone around him could hear it.

Of course, Jiang Bin hadn't said this to Mei Fei before.

At that time, he spoke with absolute certainty that Mei Fei, the Grand Elder, would be promoted to Sect Master, and all he had to do was follow Jiang Bin's orders from behind the scenes.

But now Jiang Bin has turned his back on him and refuses to mention the matter of providing support.

Mei Fei dared not be angry. He had been thoroughly trained by Jiang Bin, and even vaguely felt that Jiang Bin's behavior was normal.

Mei Fei even thought that Jiang Bin's words made a lot of sense. In any case, Yao Guang Sect could no longer produce cultivators at the half-immortal level, and their cultivation level was destined to decline.

Rather than becoming the Xiao Clan Master in the First Heaven, it would be better to be an elder of the Glazed Pavilion.

Those who kneel down quickly will enjoy the world first. Mei Fei, being very sensible, obediently knelt on the ground and said in a gentle voice, "As the mandate of heaven has been given and the sun and moon have changed, today this old man will serve Sect Master Jiang as my master, hoping that the sect master will have mercy on the disciples of Yao Guang."

With Mei Fei as an example, others hesitated for a moment, but followed suit.

Someone cried out in grief, but a few sword strikes from the disciples of the Liuli Pavilion silenced the crying.

Amidst this somber atmosphere, Jiang Bin walked on the path through the pool of blood with a faint smile on his face.

The leaves of the Yaoguang Sect's Qixin Tree are made of jade, crystal clear, but they are already showing signs of decay.

The sect has dwindled to almost nothing, and for a year now there has not been a single cultivator at the Half-Immortal realm left in the sect. With the sect in such dire straits, the Heart Tree has also lost its nourishment and is now teetering on the brink of collapse.

Jiang Bin held the bright umbrella and thrust it in hard. As soon as the light burst forth, the entire Heart Tree turned into countless fragments, turning to ash and dissipating in such a way that it made people's hearts tremble.

The moment the tree was destroyed, several beams of light rose into the air, and then those beams symbolizing the disciple's contract broke apart.

The Yaoguang Sect was also officially destroyed.

The Yaoguang Sect existed for 253 years since its founding, and now it has come to an end.

At the same time, after absorbing Yaoguang Sect, the number of disciples in Liuli Pavilion reached 15,060 to 170,000.

In less than ten years, the Liuli Pavilion, run by Jiang Bin, has become the second largest sect in the entire Second Heaven.

At the current pace of Jiang Bin's development, he will likely have the opportunity to advance to the next realm in just a few years.

A faint smile seemed to appear on Jiang Bin's lips.

So what if he was born a beggar and has a ridiculous past?

He learned these skills from Tanlang, and he learned quite a lot from him.

He will ascend to the heavens! He will climb step by step, never struggling in the mortal realm.

One day, he will surely attain unparalleled honor.

Even in this moment of triumph, Jiang Bin couldn't help but recall some regrets.

He recalled that year when Immortal Jiang died, and Greedy Wolf also died. The beautiful Fairy Tian Shu was also greatly shocked and wept bitterly.

At that time, Tian Shu was dressed in bright red, with tear stains on her pretty face and a gold chain around her wrist, which added to her forbidden allure.

Jiang Bin was so bored watching that he suddenly had a thought: all the people who used to protect Fairy Tian Shu are gone.

However, standing beside the beauty was Yuan Yuantian's new favorite.

Mu Wuxian destroyed the Jiang clan, founded the Yunque Heavenly Palace, inherited the legacy of the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable, and became the number one person in Yuanyuan Heaven.

Possessing the power of the most powerful in the four realms, Mu Wuxian also has a fondness for beautiful women.

Therefore, Jiang Bin dared not act rashly and could not reveal even the slightest thought.

Jiang Bin still feels very regretful whenever he thinks about it.

If Mu Wuxian hadn't interfered, perhaps he would have had a slight chance to make the once high and mighty Fairy Tian Shu submit to him.

Obey your former servant.

But what about servants? Is that Greedy Wolf some kind of good person? He's just someone who rolled out of the mud, and he'll use any means necessary.

Before, Tian Shu was always chatting and laughing with her senior brother.

Jiang Bin smiled slightly as the brightly colored umbrella hovered above his head, spinning gracefully. The vibrant rose, soaked with blood, was glistening with life, and the handle of the umbrella tinkled with a jingling sound.

He thought those were things of the past. Although there were some regrets, he was now in a good mood and there was no need to think about those discouraging things.

He had been born into a lowly family and suffered a lot of bullying, but now things were different, and he was determined to get his revenge.

Now no one can make him suffer any injustice!

Instead of thinking about Tian Shu, you should think about Shen Zhiwei.

Shen was frivolous, thinking that she was so beautiful and charming that she could throw a little tantrum in front of Xie Qingyu, the sect leader.

So they thought they could use their words to flaunt their past and expose their dirty secrets?

Did a discarded woman really think she could climb the social ladder to Xie Qingyu?

If you're already in the mud, just stay where you are. Why are you competing with yourself?

The Bixia Sect has just advanced to a higher realm, with fewer than a thousand disciples. It mainly deals in pills and has an extremely weak foundation, making it an ideal prey.

Even a small mosquito is still meat; if the Bixia Sect is destroyed, it's perfect to devour it. Besides, Shen Zhiwei has some personal grudges against him, so it's a win-win situation.

He wanted to make sure that Shen Shi couldn't even cry.

Less than half an hour after the destruction of Yaoguang Sect, the news had reached Xie Qingyu's desk in Yuanyuantian.

Xie Qingyu smiled slightly, gently unfolded her hands, her divine light shining brightly, making her very approachable.

It's not a big deal.

The fact that the Glazed Pavilion devoured the Yao Guang Sect was certainly an extremely bloody and tragic event, but for the great cultivators of Yuan Yuan Tian, ​​it was nothing more than a few splashes in a small pond.

The wind picked up, and a few blossoms on the branches were knocked off their branches. The flowers were in full bloom, but they were blown down by the strong wind and even crushed into mud, which was a pity to see.

But that's all there is to it.

The rise and fall of this sect is like the withering and flourishing of plants, which is also the natural order of the universe.

Moreover, Jiang Bin also made the story complete. It was originally an internal strife within the Yao Guang Sect. Mei Fei, the Grand Elder of the Yao Guang Sect, asked the Liuli Pavilion for help, and that's why Jiang Bin went out to fight.

The story is somewhat fabricated, but no one bothers to take it seriously for the Yao Guang Sect.

This Jiang Bin was a servant of the demon Tanlang, and he also learned some of Tanlang's methods.

However, in terms of scale, the Liuli Pavilion, which was presided over by Jiang Bin, was only the second largest in the second level of heaven, while the first was the Suxin Gate.

As of today, the Suxin Sect has 19,000 disciples, and its leader is Lin Xue'an.

Lin Xuean had close ties with the Jiuyi Immortal Sect and was also planning to advance her cultivation level.

With 20,000 disciples, over 1,500 purple-grade sword cultivators, and an annual mission of 10 million spirit stones, the Su Xin Sect can successfully advance to the third level of cultivation.

Whether or not one can be promoted ultimately depends on the will of the great cultivators in Yuan Yuan Heaven.

Judging from these conditions, it seems that it's only one step away from success. However, if the great cultivators of Yuanyuan Heaven are unwilling to agree, then something unexpected will always happen and the advancement will be disrupted.

Lin Xue'an understood this principle, so he frequently visited the Jiuyi Immortal Sect and flattered Xie Qingyu.

Although Xie Qingyu did not agree, she was already preparing to raise her hand to elevate the Suxin Sect to a higher realm.

The eight major sects of the third heaven have been keeping each other in check for a long time, like a stagnant pool. Xie Qingyu is also preparing to send the Suxin Sect to stir things up.

As for Jiang Bin, this man is far too ruthless and acts without any sense of propriety. He is, after all, someone trained by Tanlang; though he has betrayed his master for personal gain, he is not worthy of being trusted. He did have some merit in betraying his master, and becoming the leader of a faction in the second level is already quite good; he shouldn't have been so greedy as to attempt to ascend to the third level.

Although Xie Qingyu had no interest in seeking justice for the Yaoguang Sect, she knew that this traitor should not be trusted, otherwise he would surely betray his master. No matter how much Jiang Bin stirred things up, he could only be tempered in the second level of heaven for the rest of his life, and could never advance any further.

If the Liuli Pavilion were larger, some unexpected events would surely occur, and some righteous little envoys would surely appear to punish Jiang Bin.

Furthermore, Jiang Bin's actions were inherently despicable.

At that time, Xie Qingyu might as well become a savior who upholds justice and fairness.

Xie Qingyu had always been this way, always wielding such power and always plotting in this way, so he couldn't say he was particularly pleased with himself.

As Xie Qingyu thought about this, she also thought of Shen Zhiwei.

He was quite magnanimous and wouldn't get angry just because Shen Zhiwei rejected him.

Shen Shi is unruly, which is quite interesting compared to those gentle and refined fairies. She is actually quite cute when she throws a tantrum, and she also has a kind of innocent and genuine nature.

Therefore, when Shen Zhiwei occasionally made a few light but firm remarks to Xie Qingyu, Xie Qingyu found it interesting.

But he is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters.

He wouldn't help Chen Zhiwei, just as he would help Suxinmen but not Jiang Bin's Liulige.

While the charming and lively personalities of those adorable women are certainly pleasing to the eye, their opinions are quite different when judged by the leader of a faction.

Shen is not sensible enough; she cannot weigh the pros and cons, nor can she consider the overall situation.

Even how to play chess, could Sect Leader Shen understand it?

This endearing, genuine nature, born of her own whims, is not something one can reason with.

With this in mind, Xie Qingyu added annotations to the memorial that was sent to her.

Support the Suxin Sect, and it's time to suppress the Liuli Pavilion. Now that we've gathered a lot of intelligence on the Liuli Pavilion, it's time to find a righteous young envoy so that Jiang Bin understands the importance of things.

As for that Sect Leader Shen, he acted rashly and has probably stirred up some trouble. To act so impulsively, one wonders what kind of heart he has.

Xie Qingyu thought of Shen Zhiwei again. He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that he was somewhat concerned and bothered by her.

It was as if he had extended an olive branch today, but Shen Zhiwei still didn't take it, instead rushing up to chat and laugh with Ming Xueyou.

Ming Xueyou is one of the Six Netherworld Envoys and is one of Young Master Mu's people. Shen Zhiwei is also very kind to Young Master Mu.

This is not surprising, as there are three forces in Yuan Yuan Tian, ​​and above these three is Young Master Mu's Yun Que Tian Palace.

Shen Zhiwei does seem to be somewhat different.

Xie Qingyu's eyes darkened unconsciously.

The destruction of Yaoguang Sect did not prevent Bixia Sect from establishing itself in the Second Heaven.

Shen Zhiwei sent invitations to all the sects in the second level. She was shameless and didn't care whether others paid attention to her or not, but she was always very polite.

Jiang Bin prepared gifts and accepted the invitation. He didn't go alone; he also took two people with him: Jiang Cui and Nan Yulou.

Although Jiang Bin is currently only ranked second in the second level of the Heavenly Realm, he is currently enjoying great popularity.

Upon seeing his arrival, the disciples of the Bixia Sect were all very surprised and hurriedly went to report.

Shen Zhiwei was not without guests; Ling Qingshu, the head of Ziyun Prefecture, had come to offer his congratulations early on.

Jiang Bin wasn't surprised. He had already questioned Nan Yulou in detail and knew that Shen Zhiwei used to do business in the Second Heaven and had some business dealings with Ling Qingshu, the master of Ziyun Prefecture.

Ling Qingshu, being a female cultivator, also has a daughter cultivating in Tianyuan Prefecture, but she is not in the same class as Shen Xiaochun and is much older than her.

Because of their similar circumstances, the two not only had business dealings but also a good personal relationship.

Because of this friendship, now that Shen Zhiwei has opened a new branch of the Tianmen Sect on the second level, Ling Qingshu has also come to show her support.

Ling Qingshu is considered a member of a collateral branch of the Ling clan in Yuan Yuan Tian, ​​and he also has dealings with the main branch. However, aside from this relationship, the strength of Ziyun Mansion in the second level of heaven is nothing more than this.

Considering the Ling family's influence, Ling Qingshu should be given some face, but this face cannot be given to Shen Zhiwei's Bixia Sect.

Therefore, the relationship between Shen and Ling Qingshu is not a concern.

Jiang Bin greeted Shen Zhiwei with a smile, but in his mind he had already quickly gone through all the twists and turns and had a better understanding of the situation.

When Shen Zhiwei came to the Second Heaven to do business in elixirs, she greeted everyone and sent friend requests. There were a total of twenty-three sects in the Second Heaven, including the Bixia Sect. Sixteen of them replied with congratulatory messages, and nine others not only replied but also sent congratulatory gifts.

Sending a congratulatory gift implies a desire to establish a connection. After all, it's not impolite to send a gift at all, but sending a reply is also acceptable. And since a gift is being sent, it can't be a bad one.

Therefore, the congratulatory gifts from these nine families were all of purple grade or higher, and were quite valuable.

Shen Zhiwei deliberately displayed all the replies and gifts on the shelf; that's how she showed off her status.

The disciples from various sects who came to deliver gifts and invitations were all kept by Shen Zhiwei and enjoyed some fairy fruits and wine at the Bixia Sect. The opening of the Bixia Sect was also a lively and bustling affair.

Although Jiang Bin knew these were just polite gestures, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. This showed that most sects in the second level of heaven were still tolerant of Bixia Sect's advancement.

Besides observing the connections of this Sect Leader Shen in the second level of heaven, Jiang Bin also secretly observed the atmosphere among the disciples of the Bixia Sect.

It must be said that although the Bixia Sect only has a little over a thousand disciples, its overall temperament and demeanor are still positive and uplifting.

Shen Zhiwei's excellent secrecy meant her advancement was an unexpected bonus. When the disciples were assigned to their respective realms, Shen Zhiwei was chosen, and subsequently, the Bixia Sect advanced, greatly satisfying their psychological reward mechanism.

It's somewhat like the storyline of "I helped the sect leader rise to prominence, and the sect leader returned ten thousand taels of gold to me."

Therefore, the Bixia Sect has only a little over a thousand disciples, ranking last among the twenty-three sects in the second level of heaven. However, the disciples are highly cohesive and confident, and for the time being, they will not have the intention to side with the red and trample on the white.

No sect has advanced to the next realm in the first level of heaven for hundreds of years. Shen Zhiwei certainly told a good story.

Although the world is bustling with people all for profit, people are sometimes easily swayed by their emotions. If Bixia's disciples have high expectations of Shen Zhiwei, or even develop a sense of admiration for her, they will not feel that water flows uphill.

Although Jiang Bin felt that this was only temporary and that he would eventually find an opportunity to sow discord, he found it difficult to act now.

For the newly advanced Bixia Sect, Shen Zhiwei's personal prestige reached its peak.

Jiang Bin pondered that he should first devise a plan to create some trouble and shatter Shen Zhiwei's mythical status in the Bixia Sect.

To kill a sect effectively, one must start from within; this is the most efficient way.

Men have different perspectives; Jiang Bin is scheming and plotting, while Nan Yulou is rather petty.

He's a bit too personal.

Seeing the splendor of the Bixia Sect, with Shen Zhiwei as the head of the sect in the second heaven, while he himself was merely a follower of the Jiang siblings, Nan Yulou felt somewhat emotional.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Nan Yulou didn't know what to say.

Jiang Bin, who was plotting to annex the Bixia Sect, couldn't help but glare fiercely at Nan Yulou.

If Nan Yulou were still an elder of the Bixia Sect, and had a few trusted confidants under his command, Jiang Bin could still find an excuse to cause trouble.

Shen Zhiwei smiled warmly and said, "Not only is Pavilion Master Jiang here today, but Yu Lou is also here. It's quite a coincidence that Yu Lou was originally an elder of the Bixia Sect. In fact, we should all know each other."

Nan Yulou suppressed the bitterness in her heart, smiled, and said, "Sect Leader Shen is too kind. I didn't have much to do when I was in the Bixia Sect."

Shen Zhiwei sighed, "It's been a few days since I last saw you, and Yulou is so humble that it's unlike you."

Jiang Cui looked around and said, "Oh right, I heard that Yu Lou used to have a good relationship with Elder Shi of the Bixia Sect. I'd like to meet Elder Shi, sister."

Despite having stolen her love, Jiang Cui wasn't embarrassed at all and even brought it up herself.

Jiang Cui's hands were snow-white and slender, with long nail covers on her fingers, which visually elongated them.

However, Nan Yulou knew that although Jiang Cui's hands looked beautiful, they were actually extremely cruel.

The finger sleeves on Jiang Cuixue's white fingers are the magical artifacts she refined. When she fought against Yaoguang Sect, she killed people with ruthless efficiency. Her fingers could play the zither and sway flowers, but they could also easily pluck out hearts, making her extremely vicious.

Nan Yulou served Jiang Cui with increasing gentleness and respect, no longer daring to act presumptuously.

Jiang Cui now appeared friendly, showing no signs of hostility, and Shen Zhiwei was also very polite: "It's a pity, but Qiao Xue has other matters to attend to and is probably unable to see Fairy Jiang."

Shi Miaoxue wasn't avoiding the hair-pulling flower; she was currently expanding her planting and business on the first level and had no time to attend such a formal ceremony.

Shen Zhiwei's gaze lingered on Nan Yulou, and she teased, "Fairy Jiang and Yulou have a good relationship. When will you become Daoist partners? I'll come and have a drink at your wedding."

Jiang Cui smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. You know Yu Lou's personality; he's never liked being restrained. I don't want to force him either."

Shen Zhiwei: "Yu Lou is from the Bixia Sect and was once an elder of the Bixia Sect. Fairy Jiang must not bully him. She cannot deny him any title."

Jiang Cui: "How could I dare?"

She even pinched Nan Yulou secretly.

Nan Yulou's cheeks burned; though she had lost face, she couldn't say anything.

Shen Zhiwei is so sharp-tongued, she's really too hateful.

Jiang Bin glanced at Nan Yulou, and the more he looked, the more dissatisfied he became.

He changed the subject: "It's also because Yu Lou was ignorant. When the assets were distributed, she took up most of the warehouse assets. Now that the Bixia Sect has successfully advanced, it will naturally need to refine high-grade pills, no longer just the Qi-Nourishing Pill. Not only that, it is said that Elder Shi, who is not here, is also planting spiritual herbs and fruits for the Bixia Sect in the first level of heaven. This is also a huge expense. I wonder if Sect Leader Shen has any difficulties in terms of resources."

Jiang Bin feigned concern, but was clearly testing the waters.

Shen Zhiwei, however, was quite frank: "Of course, we are a bit short of money, so we have borrowed quite a bit. Let's get the sect up and running first."

Jiang Bin's eyes flickered slightly: "Borrow? Could it be to Lord Ling?"

Jiang Bin pondered the extent of Shen Zhiwei's familiarity with Ling Qingshu.
