Could you perhaps enlighten me, Mr. Xiao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s expression was sincere; he was genuinely interested in the Cyan Profound Sect’s internal conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Luo Family’s rank within the Cyan Profound Sect was too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t get a clear picture of the struggles between the Crystal Perfection masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with an insider like Xiao Sheng who knew the situation inside and out, Su Ye naturally wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of hesitation appeared on Xiao Sheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you, Mr. Xiao...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye smiled and handed over a Storage Pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Sheng took the Storage Pouch, and when his Divine Sense swept over it, his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he waved his hand, not accepting the Storage Pouch, and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This information isn’t a secret to Foundation Establishment cultivators like me who have been in the sect for decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you wish to hear it, Mr. Su, I’ll make an exception and explain it to you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course... we shouldn’t air our dirty laundry in public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, it’s one thing to tell Miss Luo... but don’t spread it any further!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Sheng added as a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Su Ye’s gaze was serious as he nodded sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the stakes and was not one to gossip or spread rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Cyan Profound Sect, there are currently five Crystal Perfection cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are [Hongri], [Zhaoxia], [Qinghe], [Shenling], and [Tianhe]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five great Crystal Perfection masters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they are divided into two factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongri and Zhaoxia belong to one faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three belong to the other faction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hongri is a veteran master of our sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This master studied under the previous Qingxuan, possesses profound cultivation, has formed three divine seeds, and wishes to achieve a Three-Method Golden Core...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is the very source of the direct conflict between him and the other three Crystal Perfection masters...\" Xiao Sheng explained steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The root of the conflict among the Crystal Perfection masters in the Cyan Profound Sect was, as always, resources!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—the resources to achieve the Golden Core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingxuan passed away a hundred years ago.
