Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

They all have to diligently cultivate in the outer sect, and after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they will undergo a second assessment to determine whether they can enter the inner sect.

As soon as Zhong Muyuan entered the Qingyun Sect, he heard that his sister was going to be executed by the Lingyun Sect. He was anxious and upset but there was nothing he could do.

Zhong Muyun urged him to cultivate diligently so that he could help his sister. It took a lot of effort to get him into the school to learn the basics of the Qingyun Sect.

Zhong Lingxin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news about her younger brother.

It would be good if my younger brother could enter through the outer gate.

As for herself, she wasn't afraid.

Sect Master Lu is not an unreasonable person; he will not tolerate his disciple being manipulated like this.

Besides, she has a master.

Even if her master is incompetent, he still has the ability to help her escape the sect.

As for the lively and energetic Linglongyue, she seems to have quieted down these past few days, which must mean things have changed.

Xuan Yuan and Qingyang Venerable Saint were of one mind, and he received a message from Qingyang Venerable Saint as soon as he returned to the sect.

He grinned. Qingyang had been corrupted by Xiaoxin'er these past few years, and was actually feeding Feng Yu stinky balls.

Seeing Uncle Xuan Yuan's smile, Zhong Lingxin felt at ease.

Master must have already taken care of things.

Zhong Muyun, Qin Feng'er, and Mei Hanxiang did not know who Xuan Yuan was.

Zhong Lingxin didn't introduce herself, but just smiled and said that she had to hurry to the affairs hall to hand in her mission and go back to pay her respects to her master.

Zhong Muyun asked anxiously, "Then Mu Yuan, he..."

Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "Tell Mu Yuan that I will be fine. I will go to see him after I inform my master."

Zhong Muyun urged her to hurry, as Zhong Muyuan had been frantic with worry these past few days.

Zhong Lingxin bid farewell to the group and returned to the back mountain amidst their worried gazes.

Knowing all along how Zhong Lingxin had behaved, Venerable Qingyang sighed quietly upon seeing his disciple return safely.

His apprentice, whom I originally thought was just a carefree fellow, turned out to be so violent.

What if someone throws a punch so suddenly that they can't get out of bed for years?

Forget it, I'll take care of his apprentice since I took him in myself.

Who told me to be so blind and choose such a disciple? He's a real troublemaker.

He used to not believe people who said apprentices were there to collect debts, but now that he does, it's too late.

Zhong Lingxin hadn't seen her master for almost a year, and was extremely happy to see him again. She quickly took out the gifts that the Zhong family had asked her to bring back, as well as the little trinkets she had collected for her master along the way, and the fish from the Yangtze River to go with the wine.

In just a short while, he dispelled the helplessness in Qingyang Zunsheng's heart, leaving him only with the satisfaction of having a good disciple.

Having a disciple makes my family content!

After she had completely charmed her master, Zhong Lingxin cautiously inquired about the whereabouts of the Lingyun Sect's Enforcement Hall disciples. She had heard that Linglong Yue had also been imprisoned.

Qingyang Venerable Saint glanced at his disciple's cautious appearance and felt a pang of sadness.

The master must be incompetent for the apprentice to live so cautiously, afraid of making things difficult for him, and he has to be careful even when asking questions.

Anger rose within him.

We need to have a good talk with those old ancestors of the Lingyun Sect.

Qingyang Venerable Saint said gently, "My good disciple, don't be afraid. Your master is here for you."

Xuan Yuan noticed Zhong Lingxin's caution and comforted her, "Little one, just wait. Uncle Xuan Yuan will go and destroy Lingyun Sect. They really think Lingyun Sect is so great. That's because your Uncle Xuan Yuan hasn't shown his power yet!"

Qingyang Zunsheng said calmly, "A few days ago, Master went to the headquarters of the Law Enforcers Association and had a talk with Feng Yu. It was a very simple exchange. He told him to keep an eye on his... sigh, Qu Xin's mother."

The smelly ball you made when you were promoted was fed to him by your master, and it worked quite well.

When you get promoted next time, keep that stinky ball, clean up your smell, and feed it to anyone you don't like.

By the way, Master is going to Lingyun Sect in a few days to meet up with some old friends. Do you still have your stinky ball?

Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed, as she usually enjoyed collecting information.

She knew that Feng Yu, like her master, was also a cultivator undergoing tribulation.

But she also knew that not all tribulations were the same.

Master's tribulation was clearly stronger than Feng Yu's.

But soon, she became worried again. She knew that Lingyun Sect had Ji Fengwu, who ranked third in combat power on the Immortal Spirit Continent, Feng Xin, who ranked seventh in combat power, and Feng Qing, who ranked eighth in combat power...

Seeing Zhong Lingxin's worry, Venerable Qingyang smiled and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, you must trust your master."

Xuan Yuan also laughed and said, "Don't worry, it was because your master was too lazy to manage things before, which allowed them to become famous and proud. One by one, they became so capable that they were wagging their tails in the sky."

Zhong Lingxin carefully considered her words before slowly saying, "Master, when we entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Lingyun Sect directly managed us. This time, when we encountered Feng Haixi of the Lingyun Sect in the Mangyuan Mountains, he immediately called me a lowly servant and demanded that I kneel before him. In the end, it's because they are a first-level sect, while our Qingyun Sect is a second-level sect. Master, I have read the records; our Qingyun Sect used to be a first-level sect."

Qingyang Zunsheng nodded.

Zhong Lingxin looked at her master and continued, "Master, being a disciple of a second-level sect is too difficult. You have to endure being beaten by others for no reason. It happened in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, and it happened again in the Mangyuan Mountains. Master, I can't take it anymore."

The Venerable Qingyang said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you can't tolerate it, then don't tolerate it anymore!"

Next, Venerable Qingyang told Zhong Fuji, "Back then, when Qinglong's father was the sect leader, he was just as stupid as Qinglong."

My master was still young at the time. He told me that in order to completely suppress the Qingyun Sect, the Lingyun Sect almost slaughtered all of our Qingyun Sect's high-end combat forces and killed all the promising talents.

My master comes from a large family in the Qingyun Sect. His great-great-grandfather and grandfather all died in battle.

At that time, the Qingyun Sect was just as chaotic as it had been a few years before. His grandfather did not want him to join the sect, so he did not report his news to the sect.

Later, when the Lingyun Sect massacred the Qingyun Sect, his family sent him to a small secret realm within their clan, allowing him to escape the calamity.

Qinglong's father died in battle. Qinglong was still young at the time, so the sect's affairs were jointly managed by a few elders who had survived by chance.

Before he met Linglong Yue, Qinglong was a very good person.

It can be said that the sect saw hope for revival at that time.

My master returned to the sect at that time, determined to restore the Qingyun Sect to its former glory.

It was around that time that my master took me in as his disciple.

Not long after I joined the sect, Qinglong officially took over the Qingyun Sect.

Next, he aborted his own child, forced his original wife to divorce him, and married Linglong Yue.

Everything was restored to how his father had looked back then.

The only difference is that Linglongyue cannot have children.

Thank goodness, she is infertile.

This still left a glimmer of hope for the Qingyun Sect.
