Chapter 71: Merging the Baihua Sect

The two of them soon returned to the front of the Baihua Sect mountain gate. After Ming Ning landed, Tu Qing and Yu Yan both hurried over.

"Senior Sister (Junior Sister), are you alright?"

The two of them asked, looking at Ming Ning with concern.

"I'm fine, the breakthrough was successful."

Ming Ning nodded.

Jiang Xun also retracted his wings.

"Master, you are truly amazing! Even someone in the Transformation God Realm is no match for you."

Gu Qing also hurried to Jiang Xun's side and hugged his arm.

"That's right, that's right, Master is the best."

Liu Ruoyun held onto Jiang Xun's other arm and smiled.

"Wait, wait, wait, save the coddling for later."

Jiang Xun pulled his arms from the two women's embrace and came before the people of the Baihua Sect: "Where is Lin Qingwan!"

"..." Watching Jiang Xun furiously demanding to find Lin Qingwan, Yin Ningyu sighed: "She didn't return; I sent her elsewhere."

"Sent her where?"

"To the Tianwu Sect."

"Call her back."

"I've lost contact with her."

"Don't lie to me."

"I can't be bothered to lie."

"You really lost contact?"

"Mm."

"Cough... Senior Brother, let's discuss this later."

Tu Qing, who had arrived at Jiang Xun's side at some point, gave a dry cough and said.

"Fine."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"Everyone in the Baihua Sect must take an oath to henceforth be affiliated with the Lingerie-Sect, becoming a branch of the Lingerie-Sect, and from now on, you shall obey my orders. Should you violate this, may you be struck down by heaven and earth."

Tu Qing looked at the people of the Baihua Sect and said.

Their expressions were not very good, and they looked at Yin Ningyu one after another.

"We will absolutely not practice the Lingerie-Sect's techniques. If you can agree to this point, we can take the oath," Yin Ningyu said, looking at Tu Qing.

According to the Lingerie-Sect techniques that Lin Qingwan had sent back, once one cultivated past Foundation Establishment, they would develop a strong sexual desire and would actively seek out men for Dual Cultivation, otherwise, they would suffer from unbearable itching.

She did not want her disciples to turn into those kinds of insatiable women.

"What if someone wants to learn them on their own? You can't force them not to learn, can you?"

Tu Qing smiled.

"Furthermore, I have no intention of forcing your Baihua Sect to learn the Lingerie-Sect's techniques. The so-called merger of the two sects is a comprehensive merger; the techniques of the Lingerie-Sect and the Baihua Sect will naturally be merged as well. From now on, disciples may freely choose which techniques to learn."

"What if someone doesn't want to join the Lingerie-Sect and wants to leave?"

Yin Ningyu continued to ask.

After joining the Lingerie-Sect, Outer Sect Disciples would lose their freedom and could not decide their own departure, but Inner Sect Disciples, if they were willing to cripple their cultivation and take an oath never to leak the secrets of the Lingerie-Sect, could leave freely.

But for the Baihua Sect, whether they were Outer Sect Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples, they could leave whenever they wanted.

"You heard her too. Which technique you want to cultivate is entirely up to you. Those who learn Baihua Sect techniques can continue to stay on this mountain; those who learn Lingerie-Sect techniques can return to Lingxiao Mountain with us; those who want to leave can go now."

Tu Qing looked at the people of the Baihua Sect and said.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Baihua Sect looked at each other in dismay and began to discuss in a chaotic mess.

"Senior Sister, I..."

Chen Ning looked at Yin Ningyu, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

"If you want to leave, go quickly; don't let them change their minds."

Yin Ningyu said, looking at Chen Ning.

"What about you?"

Chen Ning asked.

"I..." Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun, then at her disciples: "I'm not leaving. I have to be responsible for the disciples who stay."

"You're clearly not doing this for the disciples..."

Chen Ning sighed.

"I can only say that's not the only reason."

Yin Ningyu smiled.

"Senior Sister, this might be the closest Senior Sister Yin ever gets to Jiang Xun; let her be..."

Another Elder grabbed Chen Ning's arm and said.

"That's right, with Jiang Xun here, Senior Sister Yin shouldn't be bullied."

The last Elder also advised.

"Are you all planning to leave?"

Yin Ningyu asked, looking at her three junior sisters.

"Senior Sister..."

Chen Ning looked at Yin Ningyu and sent a voice transmission: "We will find an opportunity outside to rebuild the Baihua Sect. Sooner or later, we will settle this score."

Another person also sent a voice transmission: "We will wait for Master to come out of seclusion, and at that time, we will take Master away together. If Master can break through to the Integration Realm, this debt won't take long to be repaid!"

"What if Master fails to reach the Integration Realm? Sigh, let's wait for an opportunity, but in any case, you must take Master away."

She was also afraid that Master would scold her mercilessly when the time came, and she was also worried that Master would fight to the death with everyone in the Lingerie-Sect.

"Alright, we will come back to pick up Master in three days."

Chen Ning nodded: "Senior Sister, you must be careful yourself."

"Mm." Yin Ningyu nodded.

Subsequently, her three junior sisters left one after another.

With the three of them taking the lead, quite a few disciples from the Baihua Sect also followed and left, but the vast majority of disciples still chose to stay.

After all, the opportunity to cultivate immortality and seek the Dao is not something everyone has; since they can still practice the Baihua Sect's techniques later, staying is not necessarily a bad idea.

In the end, including three Elders of the Baihua Sect, a total of over one thousand disciples left, most of whom were the disciples of the three Elders.

Those who remained were mostly Outer Sect Disciples in the Qi Refining stage, Yin Ningyu's Personal Disciples, and a small portion of Inner Sect Disciples.

Furthermore, there were the vast majority of male Outer Sect Disciples who planted flowers and grass.

They had originally come for the beauty of the Baihua Sect disciples! Now that the Baihua Sect and the Lingerie-Sect had merged, especially with the Lingerie-Sect, the female disciples joining the Lingerie-Sect all had requirements for their looks!

Beautiful women could be seen everywhere.

How could they bear to leave?

However, for the female disciples of the Lingerie-Sect, these male disciples of the Baihua Sect were far too unsightly...

After all, the Baihua Sect's purpose in recruiting male disciples was not for Dual Cultivation.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, once the disciples who were supposed to leave had mostly departed, they took an oath of allegiance to the Lingerie-Sect under the leadership of Yin Ningyu.

"Don't think I didn't hear it; you took advantage of the chaos to say you were swearing allegiance to Jiang Xun."

Tu Qing looked at Yin Ningyu with a face full of resentment and said.

She had specifically been listening to her swear the oath.

"So what?"

Yin Ningyu shrugged and smiled.

She was determined to bind herself to Jiang Xun.

Now that the two sects had merged, no one could stop them anymore, right?

"Tch."

Tu Qing rolled her eyes at Yin Ningyu, said nothing more, and turned to look at Yu Yan.

"Senior Sister Yu, I will trouble you to stay here to look after the Baihua Sect and serve as the Branch Sect Master of the Lingerie-Sect."

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan looked at Li Mengqiu.

"Mengqiu, you stay behind as well."

Tu Qing naturally knew what she meant.

"Yes! Thank you, Sect Master!"

Li Mengqiu nodded with a grin, and Yu Yan was also very happy; as long as she could be together with Li Mengqiu, that was enough.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?"

Tu Qing then looked at Ming Ning; anyone could tell that being able to accumulate such powerful strength and break through would definitely have significant side effects.

"I'm fine." Ming Ning shook her head.

"I'm not keeping you here to guard our foundation; you understand me, right?" Tu Qing asked.

"That is only natural." Ming Ning nodded, the expression on her face always making it impossible for others to see what she was thinking.
