"Don't worry about that. Sigh, it's already a mess. Even if we don't deal with it, it will still be a mess. Even if we really did catch some of the wrong people, most people should be able to understand. In that case, we actually have every reason to do so. More importantly, for a long time, some people in the sect have actually developed other thoughts. This is detrimental to our control of the sect. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of them, we will be able to go further. What do you all think?" Situ Lingyun waved his hand and explained very seriously.
At this moment, Situ Lingyun's words were full of disapproval. It wasn't that he really didn't care, but as he said, some things had to be looked at from both sides. Under the current situation, the entire Qiankun Sect was already in such a state that it was already a broken boat. Therefore, he didn't mind being a little more broken. Therefore, his words were actually quite reasonable.
However, the others looked at each other. It couldn't be helped. Situ Lingyun spoke too casually, so much so that they were a little speechless. If many people were still disapproving before, they were now clear that if the sect was allowed to continue to deteriorate, the situation would definitely get out of hand. Xue Yuyang's situation was enough to explain many problems. Under the current circumstances, Situ Lingyun's method was undoubtedly the most correct.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. It's decided. Even if there are other things after this, we will make a decision after we come back. As for now, you all go back first. We will talk about other things after we solve the problem of the spirit stone mine. Sigh, if I really knew that there would be such a big problem, I would never have come out of the secret realm to get involved in this muddy water!" Situ Lingyun didn't wait for the others to say anything and spoke in a somewhat bleak tone.
At this moment, Situ Lingyun's tone was inevitably somewhat emotional. He turned his head and glared fiercely at Luo Xiu. Back then, it was Luo Xiu and Lin Xingtang's trio who got them out. At this moment, it was a little too late to say anything else. Under the current situation, the entire Qiankun Sect was watching. If he really wanted to shirk the responsibility, there would definitely be many people who would be dissatisfied.
After watching the Elders return to the sect, Situ Lingyun turned to look at Luo Xiu. Seeing that Luo Xiu was fiddling with the blood-red long sword in his hand, he couldn't help shaking his head. He looked at Luo Xiu with a helpless expression and said, "Boy, I really didn't expect you to be so capable. I was so worried for you before. Why weren't you afraid that they would fall out with you on the spot?
You should know that the sect can't find a second Sage-to-be to join forces with you. If these guys were driven to desperation, you would have been in danger. Also, what's with the hundreds of Almighty Immortals? You didn't really kill so many people, did you? If that's the case, the three big powers might be able to hold back, but their scheme would be even bigger. We have to guard against them! "
At this moment, Situ Lingyun was filled with emotions. Even though he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect Luo Xiu to be so decisive and ruthless. Every choice he made shocked him.
Needless to say, under the current situation, the whole world structure had become much more complicated because of Luo Xiu's unscrupulous actions. The whole world situation had changed because of this, but this wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that under the current situation, the Qiankun Sect had more or less broken free from the previous situation of being suppressed by others. This was what Situ Lingyun didn't expect. Now, when Situ Lingyun faced Luo Xiu, it was as if he was looking at a god. His ruthlessness was no less than that of the senior practitioners.
More importantly, the attention of the whole world was probably focused on the Qiankun Sect. The most important thing was that he could resolve the chaos in the sect so easily, as well as the pressure from the outside world, allowing the Qiankun Sect to straighten its back. "Elder Situ, you're too kind.
I just did what I should do. As for the rest, haha, it's not something that can be explained in a few words. Elder Situ only needs to know that I'm loyal to the sect. As for the rest, I have my own considerations. For some things, the most important thing for us is to show the outside world our determination. You should know that although the Qiankun Sect seems to have gotten rid of the negative danger, in fact, it's not much better. If we're not careful, we may face an even greater crisis of life and death! "
Luo Xiu shook his head. The two of them chatted as they flew. Along the way, Luo Xiu truly witnessed the vastness and danger of the Eldritch World.
Along the way, Luo Xiu realized that the size of the entire Chaotic World was far beyond his imagination. The distance that everyone had mentioned previously also gave him a huge shock. The distance between the entire Qiankun Sect and the spiritual stone mine was more than 100,000 kilometers. To think that such a long distance could still be considered within their sphere of influence. This was simply a huge change in Luo Xiu's view of this world.
What he saw along the way, what he sensed in his soul, and some images sent back by the system were really eye-opening for Luo Xiu. Although the Eldritch World had long passed the Antiquity Age and the Middle Age, the so-called Antiquity Age was actually the most prosperous period. Furthermore, the situation of the Demonic Beasts being completely wiped out by humans, as he had been worried about previously, had not occurred.
The number of Demonic Beasts in the mountains within a radius of millions of kilometers under the Qiankun Sect's rule was endless. Powerhouses could be found everywhere.
Although Luo Xiu had some understanding previously, he still couldn't help but feel inexplicably shocked when he saw the existence of so many powerful Demonic Beasts. The Qiankun Sect was so small, yet it ruled over such a large area and had so many powerhouses. It went without saying what this meant.
The two of them didn't fly fast and couldn't fly fast. It wasn't for any other reason but because they didn't have the means to do so. The Cultivation Civilization here hadn't developed to the point where they could use spirit boats to travel. Therefore, the Qiankun Sect's current short distance was actually a large distance of flying. More importantly, there were many internal conflicts within the Qiankun Sect. Luo Xiu and Situ Lingyun took this opportunity to visit some of the branches.
These days, the Qiankun Sect was besieged and many of the Qiankun Sect's branches couldn't contact their ancestors at all. In order to prevent them from having other thoughts, it was also good to take this opportunity to visit them. Situ Lingyun might have been in seclusion for too long, so she didn't recognize many of the branches. However, it wasn't the case for Luo Xiu. Xuan Ming was previously in charge of these branches. Therefore, he really experienced the feeling of a vacation along the way.
It was always good to be fawned on. Of course, Luo Xiu also took advantage of this time to completely consolidate his position. In particular, he traveled with a Grand Elder at the same time. Many people noticed that he was the leader of the two. This was the most advantageous for Luo Xiu's following plans. Upon realizing this, many of the experts in the Qiankun Sect's branches knew what to do next.
The two of them traveled leisurely for more than ten days without receiving any requests for help from the Qiankun Sect. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Situ Lingyun was no longer as reserved as before. She was now certain that this young fellow had both strength and means despite his young age. The following matters could be handed over to this young fellow. For someone like her who wasn't keen on fighting for power and profit, this was a very good successor.
"It should be enough. It's best that Elder Yuming hasn't sent back a message for more than half a month. Let's hurry up and solve the problem of the spirit stone mine. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time and strive to make a breakthrough during this period!
Also, are we really not going to participate in the opening of the Xuanwu Secret Territory? If so, you'll have to contribute a little when we want to break through to the Sage-to-be! "
Situ Lingyun said in a very calm tone. There was less of the previous sense of alienation in her words. She appeared to be very calm. "Elder, don't worry.
"Elder, please don't worry about this. I'm actually not as difficult to talk to as you think. The reason why I was so aggressive before was because I had no other choice. You should know how the sect treated me and my father before. Under such circumstances, of course, I can't downplay this matter so easily. So, what I really want to do is really not as complicated as you think!
If the Qiankun Sect becomes stronger, I'll be able to live a more comfortable life. This was impossible in the past. Now that I've successfully broken through, many things have become easy to achieve. But there's one thing that's stuck in my throat. If I don't solve it completely, I'll still have all kinds of worries. That's the death of Sect Master Yu Yang. In fact, I was very surprised. After all, even if I failed to refine the Acquired Spiritual Treasure, I would only suffer a backlash. But my father-in-law and I saw with our own eyes that the bodies of several Elders instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared without a trace. Even their souls couldn't be found. This is what makes me feel uneasy. Even though I've successfully refined this Acquired Spiritual Treasure, I still have a feeling that someone is spying on me. That's why I'm so eager to improve my own strength and the overall strength of the sect! "Luo Xiu sighed and explained helplessly.
"Although I don't know how you did it, I'm sure the price you paid was not small. Since you're unwilling to tell me, I won't ask anymore. I just hope you won't forget your original intention. Even if the sect does something unfavorable to you in the future, I hope you can maintain self-control!"
Situ Lingyun took a deep look at Luo Xiu. Although he wasn't sure how much of Luo Xiu's words were true, he chose to believe Luo Xiu.
It couldn't be helped. It wasn't because of him, but because the current situation didn't allow the conflict between the two sides to escalate. This was actually the most important point. Placing all the big and small matters of the Qiankun Sect on the shoulders of the few of them was actually the most inappropriate thing to do. They urgently needed to find a successor to the sect. When Luo Xiu first mentioned that he wanted to be the next sect leader, Situ Lingyun was actually prepared to agree on the spot. The reason why she didn't agree immediately was just her subconscious behavior.
"Haha, in fact, it's not as great as the price that the Sect Leader and the others paid. I just took a shortcut. When the Sect Leader and the others refined this Acquired Spiritual Treasure, they injected a huge amount of energy into it. When I refined this Acquired Spiritual Treasure, I didn't pay any price and easily refined this Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Moreover, I inherited the huge amount of energy that the Sect Leader and the others stored in the Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Let me tell you this, Elder. With the help of this energy, when I refined this Acquired Spiritual Treasure, not only did I not suffer any losses, but I also gained a lot!
Not only did my cultivation break through to the Sage-to-be, but my Taoist companion's cultivation also followed me from the Middle-stage of Gold Immortal to the Sage-to-be. This was the main reason why I was so confident before.
I don't know how many people in the world can have such a great opportunity, but I'm actually quite scared that we've encountered such a great benefit. Even though I know that the life and death of the sect leader have nothing to do with me, outsiders don't see it that way. Therefore, I'll only tell you this once. In fact, I don't want to be the sect leader at all. It's just that I have no choice. You see, in the sect now, no one else is suitable except for my father-in-law. In this case, my father-in-law stands aloof from worldly affairs and is used to his free and unfettered life. He doesn't want to take on this responsibility at all. I have no choice but to do it myself. I can't just watch the sect be destroyed! "Looking at Situ Lingyun, Luo Xiu said with a wry smile.
For him, these words were sincere. Of course, the starting point was from the perspective of the overall situation of the sect. Although Situ Lingyun was much more shrewd, she had little contact with the outside world because of her closed-door training all year round. Therefore, she was still a little gullible. In addition, Luo Xiu's strength was obvious. With his identity and strength, his words would never arouse the old guy's suspicion.
Situ Lingyun didn't comment on Luo Xiu's words. Because the two of them had already arrived at the supreme Spiritual Stone mine, which was the greatest foundation of the Sect of Heaven and Earth. However, when they looked at the Spiritual Stone mine from afar, their expressions became somewhat solemn because they didn't see the defensive formation of the Spiritual Stone mine. The light cover of the formation wasn't open. It seemed that there was something wrong with it.
