148. Chapter 148: Inside Information

"Many disciples from the major sects have gone missing."

Zi Qianxue warned Luo Yao, "I originally planned to take you out for training, but Pingzhou is too unstable."

A year ago, many disciples from the major sects had already gone missing, but no one paid attention—after all, such large sects have disciples who love to wander outside, and they couldn't possibly guard them constantly.

So it's normal for many disciples to go missing each year.

But recently it's different: some disciples returned covered in blood, claiming someone was targeting the major sects, specifically hunting and even imprisoning their disciples together.

Among them, several disciples managed to escape together.

The Taixu Sect disciples were among them.

At that time, the remaining Eight Immortal Sects naturally sought justice for those two sects, but after destroying two Immortal Sects, these two Demon Sects rapidly grew stronger and showed no weakness against the Eight Immortal Sects' attacks.

Thus, the righteous and demonic battles lasted tens of thousands of years, ultimately failing to eliminate the Blood Demon Clan and Corpse Demon Sect due to infighting among the Eight Immortal Sects.

Then give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Yan Jie.

Eventually, they established the Wangyue Pavilion.

A soft voice came from behind Elder Wei.

Among all the Shimei, Zi Qianxue had the best relationship with Elder Wei, followed by the Senior Shimei.

So even though Elder Wei had never broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Zi Qianxue still respected him just as before.

"I'll go to Wangyue Pavilion with Elder Wei—will you come?"

Unfortunately, the returning disciple died immediately after delivering his message, revealing no further information.

After learning this, Taixu Sect knew the matter was not simple, so they must investigate quickly to uncover the mastermind behind it all.

It is said that in ancient times, an Immortal had built a pavilion on Wangyue Mountain and set up a great array to absorb star and moon essence.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have proposed making the Blood Demon Clan and Corpse Demon Sect among the Top Ten Sects—this matter was fiercely debated at the time.

Seeing this, Zi Qianxue said nothing—Elder Wei had low talent, but he treated her well.

Luo Yao sighed; it had been five years since their last meeting.

She had now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage; she didn't know how Yan Jie's cultivation was doing.

Just like just now.

……

Seeing Elder Wei's flustered expression, Luo Yao barely held back a laugh.

Luo Yao naturally had no objections—and she could see Lan Jie too.

In addition, demonic cultivators are also known for cultivating corpses and controlling them.

Of course, she still got angry sometimes.

She certainly couldn't let her master accompany her, since her master still had many things to do.

Zi Qianxue planned to take Luo Yao to broaden her horizons, but still wanted to ask for Luo Yao's opinion.

But they couldn't understand the purpose behind these people's actions.

In this atmosphere, Luo Yao followed her master and the other two to Wangyue Pavilion.

Previously, Elder Wei had gone to the Ziguang Mountain Range to search for Healing Spirit Medicine for her, and it was also Elder Wei who helped her take her as a disciple.

With this unease, she stayed awake all night.

The cultivators of the Corpse Demon Sect and Blood Demon Clan were extremely cruel, no different from evil cultivators, but under pressure from the righteous sects, these two factions had greatly restrained themselves and dared not openly slaughter cultivators or mortals.

"I wonder how Yan Jie is doing?"

The truth remains unknown, but the Wangyue Pavilion's ancient lineage is real, and it is also the only sect in Pingzhou that accepts only women.

At the time, it caused a sensation throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.

Even Taixu Sect and Wangyue Pavilion suspected that the Star Pavilion, Xuanwu Hall, and several other factions had colluded with the Demon Sects.

Although she ultimately used only one, seven remained—she originally intended to return them to her master, but her master told her to keep them, give them away, or even sell them.

The Yin Corpse Sect, Blood Demon Clan, and Corpse Demon Sect are all demonic cultivators.

Previously, they suspected the Ancient Battlefield's forces, but the Ghost Cultivators of the Ancient Battlefield couldn't emerge, and more importantly, the Ancient Battlefield is currently at war.

She had previously been injured, and it was Elder Wei who searched everywhere for Spirit Herbs so she could brew Healing Pills to recover.

"Not bad—you resemble your junior sister when she was young."

She knew that in Xuanyuan Sect, even with Xu Zhanglao's help, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill wasn't guaranteed—and even if she got one, what if one wasn't enough?

The only regret was that she couldn't return to Xuanyuan Sect to see Yan Jie.

It is said that the Yinming Mansion allied with the Yin Ming Sect and other factions to besiege Heifeng City and other forces.

With no choice, Taixu Sect had to restrict its disciples, warn them to be cautious, and seek talks with other factions.

Elder Wei's heart skipped a beat; he quickly explained, "How could that be? My junior sister has always been young, very young."

The next day, she set out with her master and Elder Wei.

She had originally planned to return to Xuanyuan Sect since the Great Competition was still far off.

It could also be called one Buddhist sect, three demonic sects, and six righteous sects.

And demonic cultivators absorb demonic energy, which is similar to spiritual energy.

These demonic cultivators differ from evil cultivators: evil cultivators use any means to cultivate, killing others to break through quickly.

But now, with such a major incident occurring, her master certainly wouldn't let her return to Xuanyuan Sect alone—it was too dangerous.

Anyway, she had plenty of Foundation Establishment Pills on hand.

This shows just how close her and Elder Wei's relationship was.

The Top Ten Sects are Taixu Sect, Wangyue Pavilion, Star Pavilion, Feixue Palace, Xuanwu Hall, Divine Pill Pavilion, Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Yin Corpse Sect, Blood Demon Clan, and Corpse Demon Sect.

But this was only speculation; she still felt some worry.

Seeing Luo Yao, Master Wei couldn't help but praise her.

"What? Am I not young anymore?"

"Good!"

In fact, there were originally Ten Great Immortal Sects, but two sects were wiped out overnight by the Blood Demon Clan and the Corpse Demon Sect.

Yet despite this, because demonic cultivation techniques grow faster, these two sects, even under suppression, rapidly expanded and rose to become among the Ten Great Sects.

Of course, that doesn't mean demonic cultivators are good people—except for the Corpse Demon Sect, which remains neutral in the Immortal Cultivation World.

So they naturally wouldn't come to disrupt the Immortal Cultivation World.

She brewed three herself, but Zi Qianxue gave her five.

She has Xu Zhanglao protecting her, and I previously took Master Wei to support Yan Jie—Xuanyuan Sect shouldn't dare bully Yan Jie.

She is even ranked highly among the Ten Great Sects.

So Luo Yao planned to keep them for Fang Qingyan.

Many years later, a cultivator happened to arrive at Wangyue Mountain, entered Wangyue Pavilion, received this inheritance, and later became an Immortal.

The entire Youming Mansion is now engulfed in war, and it won't end anytime soon.

Zi Qianxue believed this was a conspiracy—that those people deliberately sent these disciples back to leak information.

Although the remaining Immortal Sects did not agree, the Corpse Demon Sect and the Blood Demon Clan loudly proclaimed themselves as one of Pingzhou's Ten Great Sects.

Over time, the Pingzhou Immortal Cultivation World accepted this new list of Ten Great Sects.

But in truth, Taixu Sect and others have never recognized it; Zi Qianxue suspects this whole affair was orchestrated by the Demon Sects.
