Chapter 997: Chapter 635: The Demon Domain and the Monster Domain, Hometown World

Qiankun Sect, Ye Qingzhu knelt in front of her master, with her head lowered, listening to his reprimand.

“So, Ling Xiao really fell at the hands of that Chen Qing?”

Mo Xuan Taoist frowned and said.

“Yes, Master, and before Senior Brother’s fall, he seemed to have undergone a change in temperament.”

Ye Qingzhu softly recounted how Qian Lingxiao seemed like a different person before his demise, cursing at them.

After listening, Mo Xuan Taoist’s expression did not change much.

He had lived for a long time, seen too many people, and knew that most people hid another side of themselves.

So what his beloved disciple said, although surprising him, did not reach the point of moving him.

What concerned him more was the impact after Qian Lingxiao’s fall.

In any case, Qian Lingxiao was the true successor disciple of their Qiankun Sect, one of the faces of their sect.

Now that someone had openly killed him, their Qiankun Sect certainly had to respond.

“Master, with Senior Brother gone, what will our Qiankun Sect do?” Ye Qingzhu cautiously asked at this moment.

“It’s not for me to decide, it depends on the Sect Master’s decision, after all, Ling Xiao was his descendant.” Mo Xuan Taoist shook his head and said, “You stay with me recently, and don’t go outside again.”

“Disciple understands.” Ye Qingzhu obediently agreed.

Initially, she did not anticipate how fast those Primordial Spirit Great Powers would be.

The Second Senior Brother had already been rushing all the way, leading them back quickly.

Unexpectedly, when they returned to the sect, they found that the sect had already learned of Senior Brother’s death as well as the battle at Tianshu Divine Mountain.

Even the Holy Alliance had already issued a bounty for his pursuit, publicizing it widely.

Feeling the unease, Ye Qingzhu immediately came to her master upon returning, seeking protection.

Although they felt no guilt, the matter of Senior Brother’s death was indeed too significant.

Who knows if the furious Sect Master would lay the blame on them?

After all, the one who killed Senior Brother was Taoist Chen Qing, and Taoist Chen Qing previously had a very good relationship with them.

Moreover, he destroyed many disciples of other powers this time but spared them.

If the Sect Master’s lineage assumes they conspired from within to harm Senior Brother, it would be truly indefensible.

Only Master stepping in could prevent them from being wronged.

“Don’t worry, the Sect Master isn’t such an unreasonable person. That Chen Qing has slain many Primordial Spirit Great Powers, clearly not targeting only our Qiankun Sect. As long as you all feel no guilt, Master will naturally stand up for you.”

Seeing his disciple a bit apprehensive, Mo Xuan Taoist comforted her.

“Disciple and others naturally feel no guilt.” Ye Qingzhu firmly stated, “And I don’t think Taoist Chen Qing is an Evil Demon.”

“Never speak those words again.” Mo Xuan Taoist’s expression turned solemn, “I know Chen Qing saved you several times, and you appreciate his kindness.

But now, he has caused a major disaster. With many forces united and even the Holy Alliance targeting him,

you must absolutely not get involved with him anymore, otherwise disaster will strike, and even Master cannot protect you, understand?”

Ye Qingzhu’s body froze.

Although reluctant, under her master’s gaze, she finally nodded in slight grievance, “Disciple understands.”

“I know you’re unwilling.” Mo Xuan Taoist sighed, “But that’s how the world is; the weak have no right to choose. If you want to live according to your own will, then strive in cultivation.

As long as you can achieve the Primordial Spirit, after passing several tribulations, even if you associate with the Demon Clan, no one will dare to criticize.”

Ye Qingzhu’s body shook.

She murmured softly, “Achieve the Primordial Spirit…”

After a while, her eyes cleared of confusion, revealing determination.

“Master, disciple understands.”

“Good that you understand.”

Seeing the determination in his beloved disciple’s eyes, Mo Xuan Taoist nodded in satisfaction.

He held high hopes for Ye Qingzhu.

She was the most outstanding under his tutelage and the most likely to achieve the Primordial Spirit.

This event was not necessarily a trial for her; if she could overcome the inner confusion, her Dao Heart would certainly become more solid, greatly increasing her chances of achieving the Primordial Spirit.

“Alright, since you’ve stayed in the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain for so long, your body will have accumulated a lot of Mountain Qi. Go retreat and dissolve it first.”

“Disciple takes her leave.”

After Ye Qingzhu withdrew, Mo Xuan Taoist’s expression became serious again.

He looked towards the main peak of the sect.

“Sect Master, I wonder what you’ll choose; I hope you won’t let personal feelings override the sect’s greater good.”

Mo Xuan Taoist sat quietly in his quiet room, his aura enveloping the entire mountain peak, incomparably thick.

Soon, the entire mountain became shrouded in mist, even Primordial Spirit Great Powers could not see through its depths.

After waiting two days, the Sect Master’s lineage finally issued an edict, listing Chen Qing as Qiankun Sect’s greatest enemy, to be killed on sight by disciples within the sect.

Besides this, there was no other action, only the arrangement for Qian Lingxiao’s funeral began.

Upon this, Mo Xuan Taoist’s aura gradually receded, and the mist enveloping his secluded mountain peak slowly dispersed, returning to its usual clarity.

Mo Xuan Taoist knew the Sect Master had ultimately made the right choice.

He would naturally also have to express something in response.
