Chapter 653

Denying his own Daoist name and stating his real name and origin.

Was one of the best methods Qingxuan—no, Wei Wushang—could think of.

His act of assassinating Su Xuan had not succeeded, and this was the territory of the Human Sect; in order to prevent Su Xuan from venting his anger on the Human Sect, what he could do was to separate himself from the Human Sect and the Daoist School as much as possible.

The one who assassinated Su Xuan was Wei Wushang, a person from Daliang, Wei Guo, and not Qingxuan of the Human Sect; all his actions had nothing to do with the Daoist School.

"Qingxuan, you..."

Xiaoyaozi's lips moved; knowing Wei Wushang's intention, his expression immediately became extremely complicated.

Wei Wushang did not look at his master, Xiaoyaozi; or rather, after being discovered by his master doing what he did, he no longer had the face to face his master. At this moment, he could only transfer all his attention to Su Xuan.

"The hatred of the Wei Guo, even in death, is hard to forget; go to hell!"

He rushed toward Su Xuan again.

Seeing Wei Wushang going toward Su Xuan with a determination like a moth to a flame, Xiaoyaozi subconsciously wanted to take action to stop Wei Wushang, but in the end, he still did not take action.

He closed his eyes in pain.

After closing his eyes, a muffled sound entered his ears.

Su Xuan's voice sounded in Xiaoyaozi's ear: "He is handed over to you; I hope to be able to get a satisfactory answer."

Xiaoyaozi opened his eyes.

And saw Wei Wushang in a state of fainting, lying at Su Xuan's feet.

Su Xuan's gaze fell on his face.

"How to choose, you should be very clear!"

Su Xuan said, and he did not have the intention to stay in the Human Sect's library for long, even though he had only just arrived here and had not read a few books yet.

Following Su Xuan's departure.

Xiaoyaozi looked at Wei Wushang, who had fainted on the ground, again.

He took a deep breath.

Although Su Xuan did not say any harsh words, Xiaoyaozi heard the hidden meaning in them.

How to choose?

Was it to choose to shield these remnants of the perished nation and subsidize them to oppose Qin, or to obey the laws of the Qin Guo and choose to submit to the Qin Guo?

This was the choice Su Xuan gave him.

The former, although it could preserve many Human Sect disciples, would cause the entire Human Sect to head toward destruction.

The Agricultural School had been destroyed by Su Xuan, so what was a mere Daoist Human Sect?

One must know that the Daoist School had two sects; even if there were no Human Sect, there was still the Heaven Sect, and the Heaven Sect could still represent the Daoist School.

And if the latter were chosen, the Human Sect would lose many disciples. Pointing the butcher's knife at the disciples he had taken into his sect—Xiaoyaozi could not do such a thing; he could not bear it.

But things had come to this, and he had to make a decision.

The matter of Qingxuan attempting to assassinate Su Xuan without success directly stimulated the conflict, making the conflict stand on the bright side.

"Qingxuan, oh Qingxuan, do you know that for your own selfish interests, you have pushed the entire Human Sect into an unfavorable situation!"

Staring at the young man on the ground, Xiaoyaozi was heartbroken.

Did Wei Wushang think that by giving up the Daoist name Qingxuan and returning to his original name, he could make Su Xuan not vent his anger on the Human Sect? It was not that easy; this was just Wei Wushang's self-righteousness.

This was the Daoist Human Sect, and the Daoist art Wei Wushang used to attack Su Xuan was also the Daoist School's; no matter what, this matter could not be separated from the Human Sect.

Xiaoyaozi's eyes flickered.

Many disciples of the Human Sect were taken into the sect by him personally; he knew very well what these people's obsessions were and what they were thinking.

Qingxuan was the first person to assassinate Su Xuan, but he was definitely not the last.

Letting him take action against these people—he could not bear to be that ruthless.

Since he could not take action himself, he could only find someone else to do it for him.

This was the only method Xiaoyaozi could think of at the moment to solve the problem.

Consequently, he took the fainted Qingxuan and found Mu Xuzi.

"Senior Brother Mu Xuzi!"

"Sect Master, is there something?"

Mu Xuzi looked at Xiaoyaozi and asked.

Toward Xiaoyaozi, he was actually very unconvinced.

Before Xiaoyaozi apprenticed into the Human Sect, he was the disciple most beloved by the Sect Master teacher; he originally thought that he would become the Human Sect's Sect Master, but as a result, Xiaoyaozi's sudden appearance, with excellent talent, became the new Sect Master of the Human Sect.

After Xiaoyaozi succeeded to the throne, although he became an Elder, for him, an Elder did not count for much; what he most wanted to be was still the Sect Master.

However, these thoughts, he only dared to bury in his heart.

Even if he did not like Xiaoyaozi, he had to admit Xiaoyaozi's powerful strength.

"I want to ask Senior Brother Mu Xuzi to handle a matter on my behalf!" Xiaoyaozi stated his purpose.

"What matter?"

"Qingxuan—no, Wei Wushang—intended to assassinate the Yin-Yang School Sect Master, Lord Xuantian, and has now been severely injured by Lord Xuantian. Senior Brother Mu Xuzi should know that the Yin-Yang School is very close to the Qin Guo, and Lord Xuantian is a favorite in front of the King of Qin. Even if Qingxuan gave up his Daoist name and returned to his original name, Wei Wushang, before assassinating Lord Xuantian, this matter happened within the Human Sect after all; this matter, the Human Sect still cannot separate itself from."

"If Lord Xuantian thinks that the Human Sect is shielding those remnants of the perished nation and intends to oppose Qin, for the Human Sect, it is not a good thing!"

Xiaoyaozi told Mu Xuzi all the pros and cons of this matter one by one.

Mu Xuzi, upon hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, also looked at this Sect Master junior brother with some surprise.

The Xiaoyaozi of this moment was somewhat strange in his eyes.

In the past, when the Qin Guo was powerful, he had actively proposed the suggestion of having a good relationship with the Qin Guo, especially since Mount Taiyi, where the Daoist School was located, was within the territory of the Qin Guo, but this suggestion was rejected by Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi only said that people of the Daoist School should live in seclusion in the mountains, not ask about worldly affairs, and believe in the Dao of inaction.

It sounded nice, but Mu Xuzi, as a Human Sect Elder, how could he not know the reason.

In the process of the Qin Guo destroying the various nations, the Human Sect took in many disciples; these disciples were all remnants of perished nations, and they all harbored resentment toward the Qin Guo. Wanting to persuade Xiaoyaozi to let the Human Sect submit to the Qin Guo, these people would not agree first.

Although Xiaoyaozi changing his past words and actively saying this made Mu Xuzi somewhat surprised, Mu Xuzi did not mind mocking Xiaoyaozi: "Back then, I had said that you taking in these remnants of perished nations would be raising a tiger that would cause trouble; you didn't listen, and now, was I right!"

Xiaoyaozi sighed and did not say much more.

Among the many Elders of the Human Sect, Mu Xuzi had always been the one who advocated relying on the Qin Guo, so this was also the reason why he would find Mu Xuzi to handle this matter.

"Don't worry, this matter, I will handle it properly!"

After mocking Xiaoyaozi, Mu Xuzi spoke again.
