The main hall of the Jade Spirit Palace.
"Reporting to the sect master, all the descendants of those neutral elders have been crippled."
Upon hearing this, Yu Lingying, who was seated at the head of the table, slowly nodded.
"This move will surely anger those neutral parties, and they will definitely turn against Qinglan. We can then sit back and reap the benefits."
After the person at the bottom finished speaking, he looked again at Yu Lingying, who was at the top.
"Sect Master, should we prepare to strike when Qinglan is fighting those people, and wipe them out in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles?"
After listening, Yu Lingying slowly shook her head.
"How could she have chosen to come back and face me without any support?"
After speaking, he looked towards the direction outside the main hall.
"Let those people probe her strengths and weaknesses, so I can find out what her trump cards are."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly again.
"She has changed a lot."
"Given her personality back then, she would have immediately pointed out that I was the murderer who assassinated her upon returning to the sect, and she would have attacked me as soon as they met."
"If that were the case, I could have killed her directly, but she chose to remain silent, which has put me in a difficult position."
He then looked at the person below him and asked.
"Is there any movement in the Jade Spirit Secret Realm?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, it remains sealed off. Are you saying that Qinglan chose not to break ties because of those old fogies in the Jade Spirit Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lingying slowly rose from her position as sect leader.
"After I obtained the position of sect leader, I opened the secret realm for all of you to enter. My purpose was to kill all the old fogies of Jade Spirit Palace within the secret realm, so that Jade Spirit Palace could become a springboard for you to attack the Imperial Land."
"Unexpectedly, those old fogies discovered it ahead of time. The secret realm has been sealed for so many years, and we have no idea what the situation is inside now. This is why I have not been able to completely unify the Jade Spirit Palace all these years."
After speaking, he looked down at the person sitting below.
"Send more people to monitor Qinglan's every move. She must have something in mind when she returns to the sect. If she goes to the Jade Spirit Secret Realm, be sure to report to me immediately."
Mingzhi and the others did not return to their respective mountain peaks and temples.
They knew that with their senior sister's return, Yu Lingying would certainly not sit idly by and wait for her fate.
The senior sister forbade them to follow, so they waited on a mountaintop not far from the lake.
If they noticed anything amiss, they would immediately stand in front of their senior sister.
They weren't there when their senior sister died; even if they die now, they must never let history repeat itself.
Unfortunately, my senior sister has never told them what happened back then, and after returning, she went straight to the island in the middle of the lake.
They mobilized all their disciples, even at the cost of a major battle.
When they saw the descendants of the neutral elders appear on the island in the middle of the lake, they knew things were complicated.
Before they could even step forward, the senior sister ruthlessly crippled all the juniors.
If she cripples him but doesn't kill him, her senior sister's actions will surely anger those neutral parties.
Those who chose neutrality possessed power several times greater than them.
This is also why Yu Lingying has always tried to win over and tolerate neutral people.
So when they saw this, they knew things were in trouble.
Senior sister fell into Yu Lingying's trap.
If these useless juniors are crippled, the neutral parties will surely launch a group attack on Senior Sister, and Yu Lingying will not let this opportunity pass; she will definitely also launch a sudden attack on Senior Sister.
Just as their expressions changed, more than ten figures, filled with fury, sped toward the island in the middle of the lake.
The person in the lead was none other than Su Miao, the third elder of the Jade Spirit Palace.
In terms of seniority, Su Miao is a junior to Ming Zhi and others, and Su Miao's cunning is terrifyingly deep.
Her rise to power was entirely due to the internal strife between Mingzhi and others and Yu Lingying.
Mingzhi and others are of very high seniority, and Yu Lingying was able to successfully take over the position of sect leader thanks to Mingzhi and others' lack of competitiveness.
To them, Yu Lingying was someone they had grown up with since childhood, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to take over as sect leader.
But the passage of time also revealed Yu Lingying's true colors, and from that moment on, their struggle began.
Although Mingzhi and the others reacted a little late, their high seniority gave them many supporters.
The secret realm is sealed off, and only a few elders will occasionally appear.
It was precisely because of the support of these Supreme Elders who did not cultivate in the secret realm that Yu Lingying was able to barely hold her own against Mingzhi and the others.
A prolonged standoff will inevitably lead to internal strife, but it also provides a unique opportunity for those with foresight to rise to power.
Su Miao has quite a bit of talent. Although she can't reach the level of Qing Lan back then, she can still be called a genius.
Even more impressive than her talent for cultivation is her ability to control the situation and seize opportunities.
While feigning goodwill towards Yu Lingying, he also extended goodwill to Mingzhi and the others.
Their ability to win people's hearts and control interests has reached a level of consummate skill.
When Mingzhi and the others realized something was wrong, this previously humble and respectful junior had actually pulled away all their supporters and formed a separate faction.
From that moment on, the Jade Spirit Palace was divided into three factions.
And the weakest of the three factions turned out to be them.
It is precisely because of Su Miao's existence that their situation has become increasingly difficult.
After gaining power, Su Miao's actions were all for personal gain, and the honor and disgrace of the sect were completely out of her consideration.
The real purpose of neutrality is to profit from the discord between Mingzhi and others and Yu Lingying.
Therefore, Mingzhi and the others hated Yu Lingying the most, followed by Su Miao.
