Chapter 396

"You old bag of bones, you are certainly doing your best for the Daoist School!"

Su Xuan praised Beimingzi in a strange tone.

Beimingzi sighed, "It is precisely because I am an old bag of bones that I do not want to see history repeat itself in my lifetime."

Su Xuan's words were pointed, "I fear that while you are doing your utmost to prevent the Daoist School from splitting again, others do not think so and are preparing to drag the Daoist School to its end!"

Beimingzi is a smart man. Although he has been in seclusion on Taiyi Mountain and knows little about the outside world, few things on this mountain can be hidden from him. He immediately knew what Su Xuan was referring to.

"Although many disciples in the Human Sect harbor resentment toward the Qin State because they come from the six states of Shandong, rest assured, they cannot stir up any waves. If they truly develop the intention to oppose Qin and decide to fight against the Qin State, I will personally take action and kill them before they can even act!"

Speaking of the word "kill," even though Beimingzi had not yet recovered his internal power, he still revealed a chilling murderous intent.

"You are a member of the Heaven Sect; aren't you afraid that the Human Sect will have objections if you kill their disciples?"

Su Xuan looked at Beimingzi with interest.

Beimingzi said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the Daoist School, if there are those who are discordant, I will surely execute them!"

"Whoever has objections, I will kill them!"

"I would rather weaken the Human Sect than let the Daoist School be destroyed because of it! And I believe that there will be people in the Human Sect who understand my painstaking efforts."

Su Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. Beimingzi's words surprised him.

It was because these words did not sound like something a Daoist master would say.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Xuan spoke again: "I can leave the Snow Clearing sword with the Daoists, but as the price, I need to visit the Daoist library to take a look!"

"Not just the Heaven Sect's library, but the libraries of both sects; I want to see them all!"

The Dao is divided into Heaven and Human. The two sects are like the Jing and Wei rivers, clearly distinct. They reside on the same mountain but do not interfere with each other. Each has its own library, which houses many precious classics of the two factions.

It can be said that these things are the most precious treasures of the Daoist School.

From ancient times to the present, the Daoist School has produced countless brilliant figures whose lifelong insights were eventually written into books and hidden in the pavilions.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's request, Beimingzi was slightly stunned.

He did not expect Su Xuan to want to visit the Daoist libraries.

If it were an ordinary person from an outside sect, he would have refused immediately.

The Daoist libraries contain many precious classics and techniques. If an outsider were to step inside, it is very likely that these techniques would leak. Even within the Daoist School, the Heaven Sect's library is forbidden to the Human Sect, and vice versa.

But Su Xuan is different. As the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, many Daoist techniques and Yin-Yang techniques are similar. Moreover, Su Xuan has already reached such a realm; even if he learned all the techniques in the library, it would only be a few more means for him and would not help Su Xuan break through to a higher realm.

The impact of Su Xuan reading the various Daoist techniques in the library would not be as great as imagined.

After all, Su Xuan is too strong.

The weak can become stronger by learning various techniques, but those who have already reached the pinnacle cannot become stronger by learning more techniques.

Beimingzi pondered for a while and said, "I can give you an answer regarding the Heaven Sect's library now. You can enter and exit as you please and stay as long as you like, as long as you do not take the classics out, you can do whatever you want."

"Can I destroy the classics inside?"

Su Xuan joked with Beimingzi.

Beimingzi was stunned upon hearing this. He had made a mistake; he hadn't expected this possibility. If he had known, he wouldn't have spoken so absolutely.

Su Xuan looked at Beimingzi's stunned expression and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't destroy the classics inside."

Beimingzi nodded; that would be for the best.

Many of the classics inside are unique copies. Although he could rewrite them if they were destroyed because he had read them, it would still be a bad thing if the originals were destroyed.

After finishing the matter of the Heaven Sect's library, Beimingzi spoke about the Human Sect's library.

"I am from the Heaven Sect, and I cannot manage the affairs of the Human Sect, but I will try to communicate with Xiaoyaozi."

This statement is actually somewhat self-contradictory.

Earlier, Beimingzi said that if there were any discordant people in the Human Sect, he would kill them, and now he says he cannot manage the Human Sect's affairs. But if one understands it carefully, it is not hard to grasp.

The reason he said such resolute words was for the sake of the Daoist School when the situation truly became irreversible.

And right now, it has not reached that point. If he allowed Su Xuan to enter the Human Sect's library without their consent, it would only cause resistance from the Human Sect and subsequently trigger internal contradictions in the Daoist School.

Even though his primary purpose in doing all this was to trade for the return of Snow Clearing and prevent the eruption of conflict.

"I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible!"

Su Xuan said coldly to Beimingzi.

Beimingzi nodded deeply.

Next, the two stopped speaking. After finishing the conditions and the trade, they quietly drank tea again.

Beimingzi actually wanted to ask Su Xuan about the mysteries of the Heaven-Human limit realm, but thinking that he had lost all his power and didn't know if it could be restored, what would be the point of knowing the mysteries of the Heaven-Human limit realm?

Therefore, rather than getting to the bottom of that question, it was better to continue savoring the feeling of losing power.

"Good tea!"

Su Xuan calmed his mind, tasted the tea, and praised it.

"This tea is grown by the Heaven Sect itself, and the annual yield is not much. Your Excellency Master Xuantian can take some with you when you leave," Beimingzi said softly to Su Xuan.

Although Su Xuan is from the Yin-Yang School and this is the territory of the Daoist School, Su Xuan's strength is simply too powerful.

Even here, he can still walk unimpeded.

Beimingzi does not want to offend Su Xuan, so he can only find ways to befriend him.

Judging from the attitude Su Xuan has shown toward the Daoist School, he is completely different from the people of the Yin-Yang School in the past. This might be an opportunity.

Not to mention repairing the relationship with the Yin-Yang School, as long as the relationship is not as tense as it was in the past, it is a good thing.

Beimingzi can foresee that the Jianghu of the next few decades will belong to Su Xuan.
