"Huh?"
"Something feels off!"
The master and his disciples lay on a mountaintop, watching the Heavenly Ox basking in the sun in the valley.
The Heavenly Bull is a ferocious beast of a higher level than the Vajra Demon Bull. The one currently basking in the sun in the valley is pregnant and about to give birth.
"Master, isn't there only one female beast down there? I don't see anything unusual about it."
Qian Duoduo looked at the cow.
If she waits until it gives birth and then snatches the pups, her grand breeding plan can begin.
Something's not right!
Lin Xue did not answer her little apprentice's question, but instead began to carefully sense the surroundings.
"Host, leave immediately!"
"A secret realm has formed right on this mountain where we are. If we don't leave soon, we might be dragged into it!"
629 had just shared his discovery when he felt a blur before his eyes.
The master and his disciples, along with the system, all disappeared from the spot.
The Heavenly Ox in the distant valley looked up in this direction, then struggled to its feet and swayed as it left the valley.
Apart from the pregnant Heavenly Ox, all the ferocious beasts in the vicinity were rapidly moving away from this mountain.
The master and his disciples found themselves trapped in a secret realm once again, and unintentionally, they were drawn into a high-level secret realm.
Time passes very quickly for cultivators; Lin Xue and the others spent countless years training in the secret realm.
When they emerged again, the outside world had undergone tremendous changes.
Outside the distant Maple Leaf City.
Here lies a range of rolling mountains, and on those mountains stands a sect called Liuxian Sect.
When the former sect leader, who had been traveling in the mortal realm, returned to the sect with his disciples, he found that the sect's structure had undergone tremendous changes.
As the sect leader, Ye Xiu's position within the sect is no longer as secure as it was at the beginning due to the disappearance of the Third Elder.
His power has been largely usurped by the faction of the First Elder and the Fifth Elder, leaving Ye Xiu in a very awkward position.
It wasn't until the previous sect leader returned that he saw even a sliver of a chance to turn things around.
"The Supreme Elder, the First Elder, and Elder Wu, along with several other elders, are plotting a rebellion."
"They not only kidnapped my master, but also sent my junior brothers and sisters away, and they haven't returned yet!"
"I'm like a puppet in the Liuxian Sect now, completely unable to make any decisions!"
Upon seeing the old sect leader, Ye Xiu's pent-up grievances suddenly erupted.
After all, he was personally selected by the former sect leader, and after taking over the Liuxian Sect, the old sect leader taught him little by little.
Before the group could finish speaking, the entire sect leader's council hall was silently surrounded by an array.
"Elder, are you really going to rebel?"
"You tried to seize my position as sect leader back then, and after I stepped down, you undermined the new sect leader's power."
Do you know what you're doing?
The old sect leader was furious. He had only been traveling for a hundred years, yet such earth-shattering changes had occurred within the sect.
If they had come back any later, even Ye Xiu would probably have been played to death by these people.
"What are you doing?"
"Since ancient times, the position of sect leader has been held by the capable. What makes Ye Xiu, that brat, think he deserves this position?"
"My disciple Haotian is clearly more talented than him, has a higher cultivation level, and his abilities are beyond question!"
"But what did you do, you old scoundrel?"
"To avenge his disciple being expelled from the sect, he actually abandoned the most suitable candidate and chose such a good-for-nothing."
"Who exactly is corrupting the sect?"
The Grand Elder looked at the old sect leader standing at the entrance of the council hall. So what if he just crippled one of his disciples? This old bastard actually abused his power to retaliate.
"Master, they're already trapped. There's no need to keep pretending with them!"
"Hmph, we went to great lengths to kill your disciple back then, but who would have thought she would be so lucky to leave the sect safely and even start her own sect outside!"
"If I hadn't been careless, Ling'er's inner core wouldn't have been destroyed by that shrew. If it weren't for her inner core helping Ling'er repair her previous deficiencies, even if she hid in a tortoise shell every day, I would have found a way to kill her!"
Speaking of Lin Xue, she was the former head disciple of the Liuxian Sect.
Haotian felt a surge of resentment.
How could such a vicious woman, after having her inner core extracted and losing her cultivation, still be able to live a prosperous life?
He had tried to cause trouble for the other party in secret, but the people he sent out couldn't even get into the Yunhai Sect.
Later, the man's disciples became more and more powerful, and even if he begged his master to take action personally, he might not be a match for them.
Haotian would not admit that he had misjudged the situation.
However, the hatred intensified in his heart, and he eventually instigated his master to plot to seize the position of sect leader.
Instead of working for someone else, be your own boss.
After years of scheming, they originally wanted to kill Ye Xiu, that lucky guy, but the former sect leader suddenly returned and almost ruined their plan.
Fortunately, his senior brother brought back a powerful formation that could also restrain Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Otherwise, with the return of the former sect leader, the plan would probably fall through.
But in retrospect, it was all worth it.
All the people we disliked have been locked up in the sect leader's council hall. They'll be sitting ducks, completely at our mercy.
"I find it strange that Senior Sister is clearly focused on cultivation and doesn't like managing the sect's mundane affairs."
