Chapter 187: Refusing to Go to the Nascent Soul Cave Abode, Having Achieved Great Success in the Dao of Cowardice

"These are all things from when we were young."

"Back then, Sister Shen was lawless in the Pill Cauldron Sect; no one dared to provoke her."

"But after leaving the mountains, she encountered Lin Yazhu."

"However, Lin Yazhu was several decades older than Sister Shen and was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the time."

"One can only imagine how Sister Shen could be her opponent; as a result, she was beaten black and blue and ruthlessly humiliated."

"And so, from that point on, they were at each other's throats."

"After returning to the sect, Sister Shen cultivated diligently, promoting from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, and then to the Golden Core stage."

"Regrettably, Lin Yazhu was always one step faster than her, constantly holding the upper hand over Sister Shen."

"Up until now, Sister Shen has been unable to get her revenge and always ends up eating humble pie."

"Consequently, the conflict between the two sides has grown almost ever larger."

"Even if it hasn't reached the level of a life-and-death feud, every time they meet, they always have to trade barbs."

Leng Yuexi recounted the conflict between Shen Biqian and Lin Yazhu from their younger days.

Actually, the matter was quite simple.

It was nothing more than Shen Biqian being ruthlessly taught a lesson by Lin Yazhu when they were young, and as a result, a conflict arose between the two.

After all, having long been accustomed to being lawless and having no one dare to provoke her, how could Shen Biqian have imagined she would be bullied by Lin Yazhu?

And once she was bullied, it lasted a lifetime.

Unless Lin Yazhu died, Shen Biqian would never be able to take revenge.

After all, Shen Biqian had high talent, but Lin Yazhu's talent was not inferior either, and she was older, always keeping Shen Biqian under her thumb.

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

"Husband, still chatting? Hurry up and rest."

At this moment, Ji Bingyu's coquettish voice drifted over; she seemed a bit impatient.

Mu Ziyan and Xia Jingyan were also looking at him with deep affection.

"You bunch of enchantresses."

Zhou Sui looked at these wives and concubines, smiled slightly, and immediately walked over.

Soon, the bedroom was filled with endless spring scenery.

…………

The next morning.

The Cultivators of the Qingmu Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect left directly, rushing toward the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu.

After all, their goal was this Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

Other Jin Dan Powers had already made their moves, so they could not just sit idly at home.

Otherwise, if the Treasures inside the Nascent Soul Cave Abode were all snatched away by others, it would never be their turn.

Many Foundation Establishment Elders of the Xianxia Sect also came to the door, hoping Leng Yuexi would take the lead in heading to the Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

"Sect Master."

The Hall Master of Artifact Refining, Luo Dingtian, advised: "This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Everyone knows that Xueying Laozu was a Nascent Soul Ancestor from three thousand years ago; who knows how many Treasures he plundered back then."

"If we break the Forbidden Array of the Cave Abode, we will surely have huge gains. Perhaps there are Jiedan Spiritual Objects inside; if so, our Xianxia Sect will definitely be able to produce a few more Golden Core True Persons."

"Moreover, we are allies with the Qingmu Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect. The three sects are of one mind; if we join forces, we will certainly be able to awe all directions and obtain huge benefits from it."

"Shut up, my mind is made up."

"The situation at Xueying Laozu's Cave Abode is unclear; who knows if it's a trap or if there are truly Treasures inside."

"Therefore, I will absolutely not take the risk."

"But I will not stop you either."

"If any of you have the confidence, you may also head to Xueying Laozu's Cave Abode to compete for the Treasures."

"However, life and death will be up to fate."

Leng Yuexi said indifferently, completely unmoved.

"This!"

Hearing this, the many Foundation Establishment Elders' faces turned gloomy. They had originally wanted to say something more, but seeing the killing intent permeating from Leng Yuexi, they immediately shuddered in fear.

Each and every one of them shut their mouths and quickly withdrew from Xianxia Peak.

They could not defy the Sect Master's orders.

"Damn it, why is the Sect Master unwilling to participate in this expedition? It is clearly a great opportunity for our Xianxia Sect, yet we are missing out on it." The Hall Master of Artifact Refining, Luo Dingtian, gritted his teeth, feeling very unwilling.

Because he himself was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator and was already quite old; if he did not obtain a Golden Core spiritual object, he basically had no hope of promoting to Golden Core in this lifetime.

So he naturally hoped the Sect Master would lead the team personally, so he could take the opportunity to obtain Treasures.

But without the protection of a Golden Core, he would be in great danger.

Any Golden Core True Person could kill him with a single strike.

Even if he really obtained Treasures from the Cave Abode, he might not necessarily survive.

"Hehe, need you ask?"

"The Sect Master may not wish for the Xianxia Sect to have one more Golden Core True Person to contend with her for power and profit."

"Now that Leng Chan is in closed-door cultivation and the Supreme Elder has passed away, the Sect Master is the only one left in the Xianxia Sect, holding absolute power."

"If the sect were to have another Golden Core True Person, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to act so arbitrarily anymore."

The Peak Master of Array Peak, Yao Wen, said sarcastically.

Clearly, he was also very dissatisfied with Leng Yuexi's decision, as it was obvious she wanted to dominate the Xianxia Sect alone and did not want the Xianxia Sect to give birth to a second Golden Core True Person; her intentions were sinister.

"Shut up, Yao Wen, what kind of nonsense are you spouting, daring to slander the Sect Master like this?"

"The Sect Master has her own reasons for not going to the Nascent Soul Cave Abode."

"Currently, the entire Xianxia Sect relies on the Sect Master; she is the stabilizing pillar of the Xianxia Sect."

"Naturally, nothing can be allowed to go wrong."

"The Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu is fraught with danger; if the Sect Master were to fall, the entire Xianxia Sect would be finished."

"Even if this Nascent Soul Cave Abode holds countless benefits, they cannot compare to the safety of the Xianxia Sect."

"I can understand your desire to obtain a Jiedan Spiritual Object, but you cannot drag the Xianxia Sect into this."

Peak Master of Danyao Peak, Ma Qianjun, shouted angrily, feeling very dissatisfied.

He felt that Leng Yuexi's decision was not wrong at all.

In fact, this was the decision a Sect Master should make; if the Xianxia Sect had two, or even three Golden Core cultivators, then participating would be a matter of course.

The problem is, currently, the Xianxia Sect only has Leng Yuexi as a Golden Core cultivator walking in the open, so she naturally cannot take the risk.

Otherwise, the Xianxia Sect would certainly fall into a massive crisis.

This would not benefit any of the disciples throughout the Xianxia Sect.

"Heh, Ma Qianjun, stop pretending to be a good person here."

"Your path of cultivation is ruined; even if you obtained a Jiedan Spiritual Object, you could not form a Golden Core, so naturally, you don't want to take risks."

"But we are different; we still have a glimmer of hope to become a Golden Core Real Person, so we want to forge ahead bravely."

Peak Master of Array Peak, Yao Wen, sneered, looking at Ma Qianjun with disdain.

"So what? In any case, the Sect Master has made her decision, and it is impossible for her to go to the Nascent Soul Cave Abode."

"If you are not afraid of death, feel free to go and take the risk."

"The Sect Master hasn't stopped you, anyway."

"As the saying goes, life and death are determined by heaven, and wealth is determined by fate; it just depends on whether your luck is good or not."

Ma Qianjun was already an old hand, with a very thick skin, so he naturally wouldn't be discouraged by these words.

He had long since seen through everything and was practically without desire or craving.

"You!"

Hearing this, Yao Wen and the others were furious, trembling all over, but they were helpless.
