Chapter 63

After the Sect Master finished speaking, the elders present were all dumbfounded, as if ten thousand demon beasts had run through their hearts. What? The sect is going to be gone?

"Damn it, where does our Beast Sect look like a demon sect!" a red-haired Golden Core elder said angrily. Afterward, the six great Demon King ancestors present nodded at him; yes, that's right!

Immediately following, a parrot Demon King said: "It infuriates me! The Sect Management Office just sees that our Beast Sect's high-level combat power is all Demon Kings and finds it an eyesore!"

"Which one of us hasn't shed blood for the Beast Sect! Which one of us hasn't shed blood for the Ancient Kingdom! Just because Beast Masters pass away early, do you want to treat us as aliens? If this isn't bullying people, what is it!"

"At worst, I'll commit suicide. I'll cut off my own vitality; don't stop me, none of you stop me!"

No one dared to stop this Demon King ancestor. Seeing that no one was stopping him, he stopped talking.

"We do indeed occupy the sect's best cultivation cave dwellings and the most cultivation resources, but is that wrong?" A flood dragon spoke, its dragon eyes unkind.

"We have followed the previous Sect Masters to fight for the sect for hundreds or thousands of years; is it not worth a good cave dwelling? Could it be that we must give up resources and not eat or drink for it to be considered human luck flourishing?"

Many Golden Core elders still dared not speak. These Demon King ancestors had indeed made huge contributions to the sect, and using the best cave dwellings was understandable, but the problem was... the Sect Management Office doesn't care about these things. The Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom was founded on luck, and luck is greater than everything.

"It's still because you, Xu Xiaoyao, are not competitive. If you worked a little harder and reached Deity Transformation, how could this kind of thing happen?" An elephant-trunk ancestor looked at Xu Xiaoyao and began to blame him.

"Blame me?" Sect Master Xu was also angry and stood up: "Isn't it because you ancestors always go out and use the Beast Sect's banner! Other sects in the Great Wilderness are bullied by a group of Demon Kings every day, and the key is that this group of Demon Kings has a legitimate righteous background. Can they not report it to the Sect Management Office? I think you ancestors should stop retiring. The previous Sect Master left early; why not renew a new Beast Master."

"Renew then. Currently, besides you, the sect doesn't even have a Nascent Soul. Tell us, who can we contract with?!" A deer king was very carefree.

The conference hall became noisy. Elder Mo was shivering underneath, not daring to mention Lin Jing's matter, fearing that Lin Jing would be treated as a side dish by these hot-headed Demon King ancestors.

"The weather today is really good."

Lin Jing likes to climb to the top of the cave dwelling, facing the rosy clouds, breathing in the fresh spirit energy to cultivate.

The rosy clouds shone on him, making Lin Jing look like an immortal descending to the world.

"These days are getting more and more promising. After Foundation Establishment, I will be a true disciple."

"As for 'Future Holy Son' or 'Young Sect Master', forget it. Give the young people a chance. After all, I live a long time and can accompany the sect for a longer time. If I became the Sect Master, when to abdicate would also be a big problem. After all, according to the Beast Sect's tradition, it is always when the previous Sect Masters are near their limit that they abdicate the Sect Master position."

He closed his eyes and began to practice Qi, feeling that perhaps because of his Longevity Body, his heart was becoming more and more peaceful. But not long after, a figure came in a panic from the distance.

"Junior Brother! It's not good!"

Senior Brother Ouyang had a bitter face, grabbing the sleeve of Lin Jing, who was walking down from the cave dwelling in confusion.

Seeing Senior Brother Ouyang so flustered, Lin Jing asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Ouyang, what's wrong? Aren't you trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Could it be that you broke something?"

"The Sect Master and the others have returned," Senior Brother Ouyang said.

"Hmm? Isn't this a good thing? With the Sect Master here, your chances of successful Foundation Establishment will be even greater."

Senior Brother Ouyang had a worried face: "The Sect Master brought back news saying... our Beast Sect may be dissolved!"

"So it turns out the sect is going to be dissolved." Lin Jing nodded, and then his calm heart was broken.

"Senior Brother, don't tease me. Since you invited me to join the sect, I haven't even stayed for a year! And it's going to be dissolved? I think our sect's resource foundation is also very rich; it shouldn't be unable to support itself, right?"

Ouyang Hao told Lin Jing about the notice from the Sect Management Office.

The Sect Management Office is the agency of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom specifically for supervising major cultivation sects, with a status equivalent to the Demon-Slaying Division and the Hidden Dragon Academy, and with great power.

"Seal the sect for a hundred years, order rectification, and if the rectification doesn't pass, the sect will be banned?"

After listening, Lin Jing was silent, extremely silent, looking at the sky. Things came too suddenly; he couldn't accept it.

"Next, the Beast Sect's spirit veins will all be sealed, and the major peaks of the Beast Sect will become unsuitable for cultivation," Ouyang Hao said with a sad face.

"The 'human luck' required by the Sect Management Office is greater than the 'demon luck'. How could our Beast Sect achieve that? The sect has a total of eight Demon King ancestors, and only the Sect Master is a Nascent Soul cultivator. This, this, how many more Nascent Soul cultivators must be born to balance human and demon luck?"

In just a short hundred years, Ouyang Hao felt that time was not enough.

"We can't just 'ask the ancestors to die'!" Without the eight Nascent Soul Demon King ancestors sitting in town, the Beast Sect in this Great Wilderness Region would have to become a third-rate sect.

Lin Jing also said sadly: "Senior Brother, is this news you learned from the Sect Master? Did the Sect Master say what will happen next?"

Ouyang sighed: "After the spirit veins are sealed, the Beast Sect certainly won't be able to stay. The Sect Master plans to divide the sect members into four places!"

"Our Beast Sect has always been on good terms with the 'Hundred Flower Valley'. The Dao companions of the second, third, and fourth generation Sect Masters were all the masters of the Hundred Flower Valley, so the Sect Master plans to take a portion of the personnel to temporarily rely on the Hundred Flower Valley, to have a place to settle down first."

"However, the Beast Sect is large, so it's impossible for everyone to go over."

"The Sect Master also plans... to arrange for a batch of the sect's elite to join the Demon-Slaying Division."

"There is another batch that will leave the Ancient Kingdom and head to Qingzhou to seek opportunities... or rather, a new way out. It just so happens that the Sect Master's daughter, our Beast Sect's senior sister, also went to Qingzhou long ago."

Lin Jing took a deep breath. Although this wasn't a dissolution, it was almost the same as having been dissolved.

He knew the Hundred Flower Valley; this sect's disciples are all female cultivators, and they raise many spirit butterflies in the valley, making it a second-rate sect in the Great Wilderness.

And Qingzhou... is a special place, not under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Kingdom.

Not being under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Kingdom means there is no order, and no order also means more opportunities.

This place has always been rich in vegetation, and alchemy is prosperous. The Lotus Pavilion only gradually became the largest chamber of commerce in the Ancient Kingdom because it opened up the trade route with Qingzhou.

"Wait, the Sect Master's daughter? The Sect Master also has a daughter?" Lin Jing was suddenly startled, reacting to something.

"It's an adopted daughter! A baby girl the Sect Master picked up in his early years."

Lin Jing nodded; so that's how it was.

"Hundred Flower Valley, Demon-Slaying Division, Qingzhou... and where is the other place?"

"Besides that, several Demon King ancestors have already planned to come out of the mountains, each cultivating a true disciple, protecting their path!"

"These true disciples will next receive the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Demon Kings and head to places suitable for their own training, with no specific location," Ouyang Hao said.

"Actually, I came here this time to tell you, Junior Brother... I heard that several ancestors in the sect are clamoring to divide the resources."

"No matter where they go, everyone hopes to bring more of the sect's foundation with them, so they can stand firm."

"The Sect Master also said... perhaps by taking this opportunity to empty out the foundation accumulated over thousands of years, it might really allow the Beast Sect to break and then stand."

"I remember, Junior Brother, you seem to be going to the Hidden Dragon Academy to study?" Senior Brother Ouyang said: "Junior Brother, you have Senior Shen Song protecting your path, so whether you have contact with other ancestors or not doesn't matter, but I think you should now... let Ancestor Shen Song come forward to fight for more sect resources for you to take away! After all, you are also the future hope of the sect!"

"Hurry up! If you go late, the sect's foundation will be divided up!"

Lin Jing was speechless. No, is this starting to divide the family already? Not looking for connections, sending gifts, and struggling a bit more?
