Cultivating a family of immortals

"Father...Grandfather...Your unfilial son...I am the last of our lineage of disciples...but I have no other choice..."

"I die today, but the Xiang family still exists. Do not let that vixen widow bring chaos to my Chaoyang Sect. Everyone... senior brothers, uncles, and sisters... I will be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!"

With the last disciple of the Xiang Cangyue lineage having his neck slashed by Xiang Yi'an's sword, the entire Xiang Cangyue clan... was wiped out.

Inside the council hall, all the disciples watched this scene, panting heavily. The jade steps were covered with wreckage, and blood almost formed a sea that flowed out of the hall.

The two disciples who knew the inside story looked around and felt bewildered.

Not just them, everyone is like this.

Those they killed were all members of their own family.

Before taking action, everyone was filled with resentment, but after it was done, everyone's feelings were incredibly complicated.

At this moment, one of the disciples looked up at the woman sitting calmly on the high platform, and remained silent. Then, everyone looked up at her.

Today's battle... is all for the sake of seizing the position of sect leader. So, if the battle ends... who should become the sect leader?

Chu Lanwei naturally understood what everyone was thinking. She calmly stood up, put her hands behind her back, and looked towards the exit outside the main hall. From here, she could vaguely see the rising sun in the distance. The rising sun was like a ball of red jade, slowly breaking free from the sea of ​​clouds, its light shining brightly, piercing through the morning mist, and illuminating the entire Chaoyang Sect.

"Back then, Yaotian and I had three children, all of whom died fighting for the Chaoyang Sect. Now I have no children left, and Yaotian's lineage... only has some disciples with diluted bloodlines."

"But, your presence means the Chaoyang Sect is here, so you don't need to be wary of me. Since I married into the Chaoyang Sect, I have been a member of the Chaoyang Sect. From now on, until the Chaoyang Sect produces a peak Qi Refining 12th level expert, I will act as the sect leader until a Xiang family disciple achieves this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yi'an and two other disciples in the crowd immediately raised their hands and shouted:

"I agree!"

The other disciples looked around, and then a series of voices rang out in agreement.

Just then, a voice asked:

"May I ask, madam, who is this man in black robes?"

Chu Lanwei looked at the person who spoke, and it was still Xiang Yi'an.

Upon hearing this, the disciples also quickly looked up at the man in black robes.

Chu Lanwei calmly said, "He is a rogue cultivator from Mochuan River. He was saved by me years ago, but he has never repaid the favor. In addition, he is too old to meet the requirements for Chaoyang Sect to accept disciples, so he has been training and cultivating outside. Recently, he heard that Chaoyang Sect was in trouble, so he came to help. Now he is a powerful expert at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples were all shocked.

"Peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining..."

"If he were to confront the Chaoyang Sect..."

Chu Lanwei immediately stopped the crowd from discussing and continued:

"I have done this man a great favor. From now on, he will carry out my orders without question. You can rest assured that he will not participate in any affairs within the Chaoyang Sect without my permission!"

Lin Chenbi, his voice hoarse, cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Lanwei:

"I will respectfully obey Madam Chu's orders."

The disciples below were all startled, their gazes toward Chu Lanwei filled with complex emotions.

So that's how it is. This is the source of Chu Lanwei's confidence in commanding the Chaoyang Sect.

But now that things have progressed this far, who can still step forward to object?

In this way, the Chaoyang Sect fell entirely into Chu Lanwei's hands.

"Greetings, Acting Sect Master!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd gradually knelt down.

Chu Lanwei sat back in her sect leader's seat, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. Below her, on a jade platform, lay the very spot where she had once suffered humiliation, now where the remains of Xiang Cangyue's clansmen lay.

"Get up!"

"yes!"

"Let's clean up this place first, then convene a sect meeting to discuss the future affairs of the Chaoyang Sect!"

"promise!"

........................

Late at night, Chu Lanwei sat upright in a cave, with her three disciples standing in front of her.

This cave dwelling was once the residence of successive sect leaders of the Chaoyang Sect, but now it has become Chu Lanwei's cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling has a floor paved entirely with white jade, and in the center stands a three-legged cauldron with cloud patterns, from which wisps of smoke rise and release a calming and soothing fragrance.

Chu Lanwei calmly looked at the three and said, "Now that the Chaoyang Sect has fallen entirely into my hands, according to the agreement, the three of you... no, if anyone else in the sect also cultivates to the peak of the twelfth level, they can become the sect master of the Chaoyang Sect!"

After a moment of silence, the three bowed and asked Yi'an, "Then Lin... the man in black robes, what will happen to him...?"

Chu Lanwei shook her head and said with a smile:

"Let him live within the sect. We'll give him a place to hide, as long as whatever he does in the future won't implicate our Chaoyang Sect."

"If he... is unwilling..."

"No," Chu Lanwei said with a deep gaze, "He will definitely agree. He will stop at nothing to kill the Xu family. We've given him the opportunity to do whatever he wants, so how could he betray us? Besides, he will definitely die at the hands of the Xu family in the future. After he dies, his Lin family line will end. How could he expose us? He'd love for us to cultivate to a high level so that we can destroy the Xu family in the future!"

The three disciples exchanged glances, all filled with admiration.

I admire Chu Lanwei's foresight and meticulousness. Under her leadership, Chaoyang Sect may go even further than before.

The three men bowed and slowly withdrew.

Chu Lanwei stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, silently gazed at the two dark streaks on the horizon, and sighed heavily in her heart.

After a moment of silence, she turned and went into the inner room, took off her clothes, and found a wooden tub that had been prepared in advance. She gently jumped in and slowly washed her body.

After a long while, she emerged from the cave entrance, carrying a faint, yet alluring, fragrance.

The cave where Lin Chenbi was hiding was behind this cave. Chu Lanwei walked towards the cave, arrived at the entrance, and slowly knocked on the door.

Lin Chenbi opened his eyes, looked at Chu Lanwei who was draped in a light veil, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a deep voice:

"Madam Chu has come to visit so late at night; what brings you here?"

Chu Lanwei smiled slightly, walked into the cave, closed the door behind her, and then turned around and calmly said:

"What I seek now... is the stability of the Chaoyang Sect. Some things have to be done out of necessity, so you understand what I mean."

Lin Chenbi gazed at the graceful figure beneath the light veil, and the visible softness of her skin. His throat bobbed, and his voice became somewhat hoarse as he spoke:

"So, you're prepared to use your body... to seek refuge?"

"Not only that, what if he conceives your child? Perhaps he could become the sect leader of the Chaoyang Sect..."

Chu Lanwei smiled radiantly as she slowly removed the light veil, then lowered her head and gazed down like a quail.

Lin Chenbi finally couldn't help but stand up and pull her into his arms.

Suddenly, the room was filled with the warmth of spring.

It was warm like spring, and full of the spirit of spring.

After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Lin Chenbi closed his eyes tightly and let out a roar like a wild beast.

These are the times when a man is most relaxed.

Chu Lanwei slightly raised her head and stared at him quietly.
