Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Qin Feng reacted even more strongly than Wei Xi, her gaze falling on Chi Pei.

Qin Feng was always the center of attention, and her gaze was equally hard to ignore, like a sword scraping against one's neck.

Chi Pei, standing in the Linchuan Pavilion group, raised his eyes and smiled slightly at Qin Feng.

Wei Xi heard Qin Feng utter a curse word, which sounded like gibberish, but was definitely being forced out through gritted teeth.

Not only that, Chi Pei's calm, almost icy gaze even pierced Wei Xi.

Wei Xi rolled her eyes and said nothing nice, then pulled Qin Feng away, telling her to stop looking.

After all, quite a few people had already noticed Qin Feng's actions.

Qin Feng snapped out of her daze, casually flashed a bright smile at the person who was stealing glances at her, leaving everyone around her bewildered before finally stopping.

Wei Xi: Awesome!
"Fellow Daoists, as cultivators, it is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil, and it is also our responsibility to uphold righteousness! Now, the cultivators of the Devouring Sea Sect have suffered a calamity, and innocent people in two towns have lost their lives! The murderer has not yet been brought to justice, and the Shifting Flower Sect must be eliminated! As the leading sect, the Myriad Swords Sect is willing to take the lead in the world!"

Gao Mingxian's words were resounding. At least within Wei Xi's sight, many young cultivators had their faces flushed red and their fists clenched tightly.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect even fielded ten teams, with Xiao Pingting clearly leading one of them.

"Therefore, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is willing to send disciples to various places to eradicate the Yihua!"

"This disciple is willing to slay demons and evil spirits!"

Now Wei Xi understood what his master meant by "there's going to be a good show."

It turns out that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wanted to use this opportunity to put on a big performance art show!

But this is exactly what Wei Xi wanted! As long as Yi Hua is targeted by the entire cultivation world, the number of people targeting him will definitely be greatly reduced!
"I've made too many enemies, and they're all big troublemakers I can't afford to mess with. Besides, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow! The best course of action now is to develop in a low-key manner," Wei Xi thought to himself. "I just don't know if the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is all bark and no bite, or if they'll actually deliver on their promises?"

Wei Xi wasn't the only one with this question. The sect leader of Zhenhai Sect cupped his hands and said, "Wanjian Sect is truly righteous! As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We are already ashamed that we couldn't help Tunhai Sect when it was in trouble. How can we stand idly by when it comes to apprehending the murderer?"

"It would be a pity if we launched a rash attack and the news leaked out, allowing those evil spirits to escape. Besides, we don't know the strength of those evil spirits. If we just act recklessly, we will only lose manpower in vain."

Wei Xi realized that the group hadn't reached a major agreement.

The fact that even the phrase "acting fiercely and bravely" came out shows that the underlings of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were quite dissatisfied.

Come to think of it, most people are indifferent to things that don't concern them. Moreover, cultivators have severed ties with their families and are inherently cold-hearted. Furthermore, the Devouring Sea Sect is at odds with most of the sects present, so how could they possibly seek revenge?
Wei Xi understood the Myriad Swords Sect's actions. Although the Shifting Flowers Sect was able to destroy the Devouring Sea Sect, their strength was ultimately limited. Otherwise, why would they need to hide? If they weren't eliminated before the sect gained power, who knows how many more bloody crimes these beasts would commit! Besides, the Myriad Swords Sect was the leader. How could they lead the team if they didn't take a stand when their subordinates were in trouble?
In that instant, Wei Xi felt that he had grown up and reached an age where he could understand both sides.

The leader of the Duanye Sect echoed, "Little Gao, we understand what you mean. But these are turbulent times. The Kingdom of Boluo and the Kingdom of Ju are fighting on the border. This time, both sides have daughters from the Liang family. We need to help gather refugees on our side. How can we allocate manpower? It would be better to send out spies first to investigate secretly, find out the details of this Yihua, and then eliminate them completely. I think if the old leader were still here, he would have thought the same thing."

“There is some truth to that,” Elder Di of the Hehuan Sect said with a smile. “However, there is a saying, ‘Give an inch and you’ll take a mile.’ Today it’s the Tunhai Sect, tomorrow it might be the Duanye Sect, or the Linchuan Pavilion. There is also a saying, ‘Strike while the iron is hot.’ How much ability can these evil demons have? They are just taking advantage of our weakness! If you have difficulties, don’t exert yourself too much and others won’t laugh at you.”

"you!"

Just as a quarrel was about to erupt on stage, a long and loud burp was heard.

"..." The magic sect leader patted his sunken chest, still feeling unsatisfied, and said, "You guys continue, don't mind this old man! I'm getting old, my digestion isn't very good!"

Some of the younger disciples in the audience couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, and then the laughter spread throughout the crowd.

The hot-tempered leader of the Duanye Sect was furious. When he glared at the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, all he received was a clear look from him. When he saw Xian Hua, whom he longed for but could not have, he became even more enraged, his beard practically on fire.

Nanjiang's old rival didn't let him off the hook, mocking, "Have you gone mad from refining weapons? You don't even know how to cherish women like Sect Leader Mo." The Magic Sect Leader pretended not to hear—after all, judging from his appearance, it was perfectly normal for him to be hard of hearing—and then burped to himself, finally satisfied.

“Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw that the stars of the Eastern Barbarians were dim and the evil stars of the Western Regions were rampant, which perfectly matches what is happening today.”

The Tuoba Sect Leader spoke slowly and deliberately, which made his words seem more credible.

But clearly some people didn't believe this. Elder Lin of the Huaixin Sect shook his head and said, "The words of the stars are not to be trusted! If Sect Leader Tuoba is really capable, why was there no warning about the Tunhai Sect incident?"

The Tuoba Sect Leader wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "Natural disasters are easy to resolve, but man-made disasters are hard to explain."

Although interrupted by the two less authoritative sect leaders, the argument on stage eventually broke out, with the two exchanging words in a lively and entertaining manner.

To be honest, this scene was somewhat undignified, and even a bit abnormal.

Wei Xi squinted, the sunlight obscuring her expression.

"Strange, why are they arguing here? Judging from Master's words, the various sects should have already discussed it. Even if they didn't reach an agreement, there's no need to argue in front of the junior disciples."

Wei Xi's probing gaze fell on Gao Mingxian, the cultivator who had been appointed to the position of sect leader in a time of crisis, yet he maintained a perfectly gentle facade.

"What was Gao Ming planning first? He already knew that these old fogies each had their own agendas, so why would he risk losing face by saying such a thing in public?"

Qin Feng's wings brushed against Wei Xi's thoughts, stirring her heartstrings.

Wei Xi was very surprised and doubtful; she really couldn't be sure of her own thoughts.

But that's exactly what Gao Mingxian did; he threw a human head into the center of the stage.

The head rolled precisely to the feet of the Duan Ye Sect leader, its gradually decaying features frozen in an expression of despair.

The sect leader of Duan Ye Sect slammed his fist on the table and roared, "You!"

In contrast, Gao Mingxian appeared extremely composed, with a gentle expression on his face.

"This is..." The sect leader of the Embroidery Sect hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise after probing with his spiritual power, "Gu Shen from the City of the Dead Immortals? How could it be him?"

The sect leader of Wanfa Sect, who had remained silent until now, replied, "He is from Yihua, one of the perpetrators of the infanticide case in Wangxian City, and he is sworn brothers with You Lanjing."

"Is he the one who changed the flowers? Gu Shen?"

"It's absolutely true," the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect said solemnly, "We have both witnesses and physical evidence, and fellow Daoists can examine them."

"After receiving the news yesterday, Sect Leader Gao personally went to the City of the Dead and killed Gu Shen, along with the dozen or so Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage demons at that stronghold. He also obtained information about the Yi Hua stronghold in the Western Regions."

"Gu Shenke's cultivation level is below the Daoist level."

"So what?" the sect leader of the Wanfa Sect replied, "Evil cannot prevail over good! Sect Leader Gao will take his head in ten moves."

The stage was completely silent, like a group of mute people.

“It’s a pity You Lanjing isn’t here,” Gao Mingxian broke the silence, “we’ll have to put in a lot more effort.” (End of Chapter)
