Chapter 123: Chapter 124: Buying a house early is better than 10 years of study

Feng Qingyang immediately deflated, these were Supreme Elders, the bedrock of the sect. In front of the Supreme Elders, he didn’t dare to misbehave.

However, his eyes were still full of confusion, as in his view, these actions were completely detrimental to the sect’s interests.

“Feng junior brother, do you remember the words our master said before he passed away, riding the crane to the west?” Ou Yezi asked.

Feng Qingyang thought for a moment, “Buy a house early, and it’s better than ten years of study?”

Ou Yezi: “???”

The Supreme Elders: “???”

“Junior brother, if you said that in front of the master’s memorial tablet, I’m afraid his grave would burst open…” Ou Yezi said, speechless.

“Ahem, then it’s about the Dragon Turtle?” Feng Qingyang said somewhat awkwardly.

“The matter of the Dragon Turtle is settled. Chaos is bound to arise under the heavens, and those from Central Province are currently using their Great Divine Powers to glimpse a peek at the future. What I’m talking about are the traitors within our sect.” Ou Yezi said.

“This time within our sect, quite a number of traitors have emerged, all defecting to the evil cultivators. It seems Elder Yue is also entangled in this. Through Ye Liangchen, I plan to drag all these people out in one fell swoop and capture them all in one net!”

Feng Qingyang was puzzled, “I know about the sect traitors, Yuan Fang is one of them, but what does this have to do with Ye Liangchen?”

“Haven’t you noticed he looks very familiar? You were so grievously tricked in the Divine Beast Mountain Range, and now the instigator is strutting in front of you, and you haven’t noticed?” Ou Yezi said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Feng Qingyang’s hair stood on end in an instant, “It’s that youngster, he swindled countless resources from me, and he dares to show up in the Holy Demon Sect!”

“Junior brother, you should be more cautious in the future. You were played by a mere junior cultivator. How will you cross tribulation in the future?”

Feng Qingyang: “…”

“Also, how is that matter being prepared?” Ou Yezi suddenly asked.

“It’s all set, ten foreign prodigies in total. Senior brother, are we really going through with this?”

Feng Qingyang felt a chill just thinking about Ou Yezi’s plan.

“Why not dare? Junior brother, do you remember the master’s interpretation of the Confucian Path’s utmost saint?”

“To deviate from the classics is to be a demon?” Feng Qingyang said.

“Correct, the Secret Realm of Beichen Feng, the great Confucian, is extraordinarily dangerous. If it’s as the master said, it’s very possible that Beichen Feng has fallen into demonhood in his later years. Those geniuses you spoke of, although they are at the Nascent Soul Stage, they still lack experience. Against the demon-tainted Confucian Path, they will hardly stand a chance.”

“This is our opportunity. A treasure land tainted with demonic nature is a natural barrier. As long as we trap and kill all the prodigies there, we can gather their fortunes for ourselves and make a breakthrough to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to reach the Mahayana Realm. By then, our sect can also rise to become a first-class sect!”

Hiss!

Even though he already knew of the Sect Leader’s plan, Feng Qingyang still took a sharp intake of breath. To kill ten prodigies from different regions in one fell swoop, to collect their fortunes with Great Divine Powers, and to forcefully break through the realm.

If this got out, the Holy Demon Sect would likely face a calamity of extinction, but it looked like the Supreme Elders all highly approved of it.

“Xiao Feng, why so shocked? Such deeds, they have been done plenty by those from Central Province and the Western Desert!”

“Indeed, decades ago, a Living Buddha from the Western Desert wanted to shatter the void and ascend to the Upper Realm, and in a single thought, he transcended millions of souls, using grand fortunes to steady his footing in the Upper Realm.”

“And that Sword Demon from Central Province, with a single sword strike that lasted through the ages, directed the fortunes of all beings with his sword force to forcefully break through the spatial barriers.”

“These kinds of deeds are nothing new, and compared to them, Ou Yezi’s methods are much more benign.”

“It’s all for the disciples of our sect…”

Feng Qingyang: “…”

Alright, it’s really hard to define good and bad people; being human is too difficult…

At the same time, on a certain mountain peak.

Yue Buqun was discussing something with Yue Fan, while Xia Jian was serving tea and pouring water.

“Everything is clear now. Ye Liangchen is Li Xiaobai, who has taken away the top target of that personage. Others don’t matter; this man must be captured alive. He has something belonging to that personage on him,” Yue Buqun said earnestly.

“Disciple understands and will make contact with this person in a few days,” said Yue Fan, clearly delighted. This man was incredibly arrogant, not only coveting his woman but also offending that personage—there was no doubt that he was doomed.

Ye Liangchen, Li Xiaobai, no matter who you are, if you dare to compete with me, there is only one way out—death!

“Be cautious. If we can deliver Li Xiaobai to that personage, the benefits are beyond imagination,” Yue Buqun instructed.

“Disciple is aware and will arrange a comprehensive plan to capture Li Xiaobai alive!”

At this moment, Li Xiaobai was unaware that he had been targeted by so many important figures, let alone that his identity had been exposed.

He was leisurely soaking in a bath and grilling meat on a mountain peak with several of his senior martial brothers and sisters!

News of his becoming the master of a peak had already spread throughout the sect. The menial disciples were overjoyed upon hearing this: they now had a Peak Master. Moreover, based on the previous attitudes, this seemed to be a good Peak Master who would stand up for them!

Perhaps, from now on, they really wouldn’t have to pay protection fees, and they could indeed live without bowing and scraping to others.

Being a Peak Master entailed a great deal, something Yuan Fang, among the menial disciples, understood clearer than anyone else. The Peak Master had the highest authority over a mountain peak, which meant that even the Sect Leader, upon visiting, would defer to the Peak Master, unless the Peak Master had violated the sect’s rules.

And that was not to mention those who charged protection fees; now they really wouldn’t be bullied anymore.

But Li Xiaobai didn’t care about these things. Since he lived here, there would definitely be no underhanded dealings.

At this moment, he was discussing the list with a few others.

“Third senior brother, with your vast experience, do you know what exactly that list means?” Liu Jinshui asked.

“The list is a certification of an individual’s strength. Only those who are strong enough can make it onto the list. It’s divided into the Human, Earth, and Heaven rankings. The positions on it are said to be arranged by a bigshot from Central Province,”

“To get on the list, one must authenticate their identity, and after doing something significant enough to impress that bigshot, you’ll be placed on the list. The same holds true for climbing the rankings; it’s easy to move up as long as you can make a big splash.”

“The simplest way is to challenge those who are ranked higher. Take them down, and we can take their place,” Lin Yin spoke indifferently while taking a drag of his Huazi. In just a few days, he had become addicted to it.

“Can that bigshot really be aware of all the cultivators’ movements in the world?” Li Xiaobai was somewhat perplexed.

“Indeed. The bigshot who establishes the rankings is called Elder Tianji, a powerhouse in the Heaven ranking well-versed in divining fate, able to foresee major events in the world. This lends credibility to the rankings.”

“The Immortal Spirit Daily that cultivators read on a regular basis is actually owned by Elder Tianji,” answered Lin Yin.

Li Xiaobai inwardly clicked his tongue in admiration. A bigshot was truly worthy of the title, keeping track of all the geniuses in the world simultaneously—how powerful his cultivation must be.

“I see. So, can we also make it onto the list?” Li Xiaobai asked.

“Naturally.”

“Woof, Lord Ergouzi is also a genius. Lord Ergouzi also wants to climb the rankings!”

“Keke, I, Ji Wuqing, am definitely destined to be the number one strong person on the Heaven ranking!”
