Chapter 71 071 Successful Advancement
Mu Wuxian unconsciously took a deep breath.
He shouldn't be so agitated, nor should he be so angry.
Mu Wuxian was not a bloodthirsty person. Eliminating some lives was neither out of personal grudges nor for personal gain, but simply because it was the right thing to do.
He wouldn't care how terrifying others thought he was; Yu Mu Wuxian had his own principles.
However, those thoughts just now were not entirely pure.
While Tanlang certainly deserves to be killed, his own thoughts seem far from pure. If it were someone else, even if they had some selfish motives, it would be understandable, as everyone is subject to emotions and desires.
But Mu Wuxian frowned slightly, silently reflecting on his actions.
Because he was jealous.
Fingertips caressed the embroidery, and the lines beneath the sleeves continued to meander and grow, the more suppressed something was, the more burning it became.
Mu Wuxian's lips paled slightly. He lowered himself, his lips touching the unfinished white orchid, eerily resembling a kiss, yet it seemed as if he had kissed Shen Zhiwei's slender fingertips.
An inexplicable heat suddenly spread across Mu Wuxian's cheeks. His behavior seemed somewhat sinister, something he had never imagined he would do.
Some memories, both belonging to him and not belonging to him, surged into Mu Wuxian's mind.
At that time, Yin Wujiu slaughtered the entire Kuxue Sect. Shen Zhiwei came to greet him with an umbrella. He followed Shen Zhiwei, took the handkerchief that Shen Zhiwei had used to wipe the blood off his face, and took a deep breath.
Whether it's the clone or himself, both seem to be quite infatuated with Shen Zhiwei.
At that moment, Shen Zhiwei sneezed, unaware of who was thinking of her.
However, she was in a very good mood at the moment and had no time to think about anything else.
The Bixia School's Qiaoxin Tree is growing very well, transforming from its initial thin and bony state to its current lush and verdant appearance.
Like raising a pet, Shen Zhiwei felt a sense of pride welling up inside her.
Now, this Heart Tree is stirring and clearly making a move. It has been quietly developing and it's time to level up again.
When news of the destruction of the Tianchi Sect reached Rong Yuejun's ears, she was filled with deep thought.
Unlike the smaller sects in the second level, the number of sects in the third level is fixed at eight. Mu Wuxian wiped them out without giving them any face, which was quite unexpected.
Even in the war against the demons, although the eight major sects of the third heaven suffered some losses, they were not wiped out.
Now, Mu Wuxian has destroyed the Tianchi Sect with a mere flick of his finger, which has greatly angered Rong Yuejun.
Of course, the Rong family also has the strength to destroy the Tianchi Sect, but they cannot do so with such ease.
Therefore, although the Tianchi Sect had been destroyed, it was not enough to frighten Rong Yuejun. What was most terrifying was that for a full half month, apart from Nan Yu, everyone else was stunned and did not put up any resistance.
For half a month, these Tianchi Sect cultivators were numb and allowed to be disposed of by Mu Wuxian's underlings, to be chosen and judged at will. This was the weight of the name Mu Wuxian.
Such a deterrent was beyond the Rong family's capabilities. After careful consideration, she realized that Xie Qingyu probably also lacked this ability.
Sect Leader Xie jumped around and used every means to win people's hearts, but what good did it do?
She still doesn't know Xie Qingyu's character?
Although Xie Qingyu appears humble, she is actually ambitious and will never be subservient to others. She will fight for everything.
After ten years of effort, compared to Young Master Mu of Yunque Heavenly Palace, it seems all his efforts have been in vain. What, then, is the meaning of Xie Qingyu's so-called harmony among the four realms?
Unlike myself, who acts domineeringly, at least I feel quite pleased with myself.
However, Rong Yuejun soon lost her sense of comfort.
The celestial attendant reported that the Primordial Mother Tree has now reacted, and a sect in the second heaven has even advanced to a higher realm.
Rong Yuejun was slightly taken aback.
Whether the second level of heaven allows advancement is entirely under the control of the great cultivators of the upper realm. She was too lazy to bother with such matters, but she knew that Xie Qingyu had been keeping an eye on things.
Xie Qingyu was a troublemaker. Not long ago, she had almost maxed out the Suxin Sect, but in the blink of an eye, it was easily destroyed by Young Master Mu. Thinking of this past event, Rong Yuejun wanted to laugh coldly.
Apart from that, all other sects are under the control of Yuan Yuan Tian Da Xiu, and there are no sects suitable for advancement.
The first to be destroyed was Suxin Sect, followed by Liuli Pavilion, which was also destroyed, though it was done by Rongyue Jun himself.
The remaining sects each have around ten thousand disciples, and they are unlikely to advance to higher realms in the short term. It all depends on who can win the favor of the great cultivators in the upper realm.
This is the usual way of things, but now the Mind Tree is stirring, as if something unexpected is about to happen.
Rong Yuejun's thoughts sank. Although she was unwilling to admit it, if there really was any accident, it seemed that there was only one possibility.
As expected, the Rong family disciple continued to report: "It's the Bixia Sect!"
Although Rong Yuejun did not lose her composure, her eyes turned cold, and a few turbulent thoughts arose in her heart.
That day, she recruited Shen Zhiwei, saying that in less than half a year, she could help Shen Zhiwei reach the third level of heaven, and the price was only to have Shen Xiaochun leave Tianyuan Mansion.
This deal was very fair, and the reason for such leniency was that Shen Zhiwei was able to save Rong Ying.
Who would have thought that she promised half a year, but Shen Zhiwei completed the process in less than half a month.
Rong Yuejun's expression changed. Although she was unwilling to admit it, this female cultivator from the lower realm did indeed make her feel somewhat threatened.
She suddenly wondered if she would have kept her promise if Shen Zhiwei had agreed. Perhaps she would? At least then Shen Zhiwei would no longer be a threat.
Thinking of this, Rong Yuejun suddenly felt a little irritated, thinking to herself that Shen Zhiwei must have found some kind of backer at that time, and that there must have been some secret deals that could not be told to outsiders.
No wonder Shen Zhiwei resolutely refused him at that time and did not agree.
She gently rubbed her calloused fingers, lost in thought. Rong Yuejun was always impeccably poised in public and would never lose her composure in the slightest.
Although they looked down on these cultivators from the lower realms, the Rong family had some spies in the Second Heaven and knew some of the general news.
It's all thanks to Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin created the beast tide simply to absorb disciples from other sects, fill his own sect, and achieve the goal of leveling up quickly and ascending to immortality as soon as possible.
After all these years of ups and downs, from killing his wife to seizing property to creating a beast tide, everything ultimately benefited Shen Zhiwei.
This beast tide destroyed Lingyu Valley, Tingxue Sect, Tianxiu City, and Liuli Pavilion, which was also destroyed by Rongyuejun along the way.
A beast tide ensued, and Jiang Bin, the schemer, created nearly 30,000 rogue cultivators in the second level of heaven.
These independent cultivators wanted to find a new mother, so most of them joined the Bixia Sect. In less than half a month, the Bixia Sect expanded rapidly and even advanced in cultivation level.
These spies sent down by the Rong family had taken notice and reported to their superiors, suggesting that the Bixia Sect should be closely monitored. However, their imaginations weren't particularly vivid, and they hadn't anticipated that quantitative changes could lead to qualitative ones. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, the Bixia Sect managed to gather all the necessary conditions for advancement in just half a month.
Rong Yuejun listened coldly, and suddenly felt that the death of Jiang Bin was ridiculous, all his troubles had benefited others.
Originally, it was Jiang Bin who wanted to take advantage of the situation unnoticed, but Xie Qingyu disliked his ruthlessness and had no intention of supporting him. However, Jiang Bin took the first ninety-nine steps, and the last step benefited Shen Zhiwei.
However, Rong Yuejun did not believe that getting this far was due to a lucky break or sheer luck.
The Bixia Sect had just arrived at the second level of heaven, and although they were quite conspicuous, their foundation was not yet stable, making them not the best choice. Why then did most of the 30,000 rogue cultivators choose the Bixia Sect?
Rong Yuejun sneered: "It seems that this Sect Leader Shen must have already revealed her backing. Whose influence is she relying on to make all those rogue cultivators submit to her?"
The true intentions were revealed when the map was unrolled; Rong Yuejun was able to see clearly the powerful backer behind Shen Zhiwei.
Who could it be? Is it Xie Qingyu? He used to look down on her, but now he's going to great lengths to please her and make her smile?
Or perhaps it's Young Master Mu? First the Kuxue Sect, then the Tianchi Sect, clearing obstacles for Shen Zhiwei at just the right moment. What if it's not a coincidence?
Rong Yuejun's heart was in turmoil. She thought that if it was Young Master Mu, it probably wasn't out of love, but rather because he was using the Shen family as a pawn.
Even Mu Wuxian had doubts, so Rong Yuejun didn't think there was any answer that could surprise her.
However, the subordinate's expression was rather strange.
"Now it is said that Shen Zhiwei is so powerful because the Rong family is behind her, and the person she relies on is none other than you, the head of the family. It is said that the head of the family has promised her that he will help her advance in the cultivation realm within half a year. Those rogue cultivators naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity."
Rong Yuejun's pupils dilated in shock!
Shen Zhiwei spent little money to spread this rumor, yet it was quite effective.
