Chapter 432 The Serpent's Scheme Succeeds
Ling Xiaozhi exchanged a glance with the elders, overjoyed. This was exactly the excuse they wanted!
Ling Xiaozi immediately said loudly, "Niece Xuemei, there is no need to worry! Your talent is exceptional, and it would be a waste to keep you in Qingyuan Sect."
I hereby declare that today I will arrange a marriage between you and Potian. Once you become a member of our Lingxiao Pavilion, you may return to Lingxiao Pavilion with me.
Rest assured, I will personally instruct you, and you will have complete access to all the resources of Lingxiao Pavilion! I will ensure that your achievements far surpass those of your peers, making you a giant in the entire cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent!
Upon hearing this, Shi Potian was overjoyed and looked at Wu Xuemei with anticipation.
Wu Xuemei was overjoyed; this was exactly the result she had been dreaming of!
After entering Lingxiao Pavilion, she will use her demonic skills and methods to devour those so-called genius disciples, and her innate physique and bloodline will definitely improve rapidly!
Moreover, in terms of cultivation resources, no sect can compare with Lingxiao Pavilion. The mountain range where Lingxiao Pavilion is located is the gathering place of spiritual veins in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent. Almost half of the cultivation resources of the entire continent are hidden under the spiritual veins. With her demonic arts, she will definitely be able to thrive and rapidly improve her realm.
Although Wu Xuemei was delighted, her cheeks flushed crimson with shyness. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice barely audible: "Senior Lingxiaozi is too kind, and Senior Brother Potian is also a dragon among men..."
However, Xue Mei is still young, not even fourteen years old yet. Is it too early to talk about marriage at this time...?
Her tactic of retreating to advance made her appear even more innocent and adorable, and it also suited the shyness that a girl of this age should have.
Seeing her like this, even the cunning and shrewd Wu Yuanshan secretly admired her.
Ling Xiaozi laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said in an unquestionable manner, "It's alright! The engagement will be settled first. You can come back to our sect with us to cultivate, and we will get married when you come of age!"
This matter is now decided! I wonder if Sect Leader Wu has any objections to my decision?
He didn't give Wu Yuanshan a chance to back out. When he finished speaking, his eyes were already coldly fixed on Wu Yuanshan. The meaning was clear: if he dared to refuse, he would not let him off the hook. Wu Xuemei had to go with Lingxiao Pavilion.
Wu Yuanshan feigned a troubled expression, pondered for a long time, and then bowed and said, "It is entirely up to Sect Leader Lingxiao to decide! It is an immense blessing for Xuemei to be able to enter Lingxiao Pavilion!"
But inwardly, he sneered: The plan has succeeded!
"Very good! Sect Leader Wu is indeed reasonable!" Ling Xiaozhi's face grew gentler as he spoke. "This matter is settled today. Xuemei will come with us this time. Child, your master has also agreed. Are you relieved now?"
Wu Xuemei reluctantly nodded and said in a soft voice, "Then, Xuemei will follow your instructions, senior."
"Haha! That's perfect, that's perfect!"
Ling Xiaozi laughed heartily, while Shi Potian's eyes shone brightly.
"However, senior, I feel that my cultivation level seems to be loosening again, as if I'm about to break through again. Now I need to..."
At this point, she stopped.
She now had to have someone from Lingxiao Pavilion take her away from this place as soon as possible, lest too many people gossip and say something that would arouse suspicion from Lingxiao Pavilion.
After all, all seven disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion who entered the secret realm died at her hands, and their bloodlines were all devoured by her.
No matter how meticulous she was, she was still worried that someone would find out.
"You broke through to the Golden Core stage just a few days ago, and now you're about to break through again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in Lingxiao Pavilion exclaimed in unison!
"Yes."
Wu Xuemei nodded gently.
"Good! Good! Good!" Ling Xiaozhi said "good" three times in a row. "Since that's the case, let's not delay. We'll return to Lingxiao Pavilion immediately and give you enough resources and the best environment so that you can break through again as soon as possible!"
As for the investigation into Ling'er, that can be left to the outer sect elders.
At that moment, the Lingxiao Pavilion members set off with Wu Xuemei back.
Although the loss of Shangguan Ling'er is heartbreaking, the fact that we have gained Wu Xuemei, who has even greater potential, is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
However, they did not know that what they had snatched back was not some unparalleled genius, but a venomous snake that could drag the entire Lingxiao Pavilion into the abyss.
The Qingyuan Sect undoubtedly suffered the most severe losses during this expedition to the secret realm. More than a thousand disciples who entered the secret realm perished without a single survivor.
Secondly, there's Misty Peak, and then the other major sects.
Almost every one of the ten major sects lost a large number of elite disciples, and everyone's faces turned ashen.
Among the ten major sects, the one that suffered the fewest losses was naturally the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Of their elite disciples who entered the core area of the secret realm this time, only six or seven in total, and they lost only three.
As Lingxiao Pavilion's spirit boat pierced the sky and departed first, the other sects had no reason to linger any longer. They all harnessed their own flying magical artifacts and disappeared into the horizon as streaks of light.
As for the various independent cultivators and minor sects, they naturally scattered in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the noise subsided, leaving only Qingyuan Zong and his group standing alone, looking at each other in bewilderment, the air filled with an indescribable sense of oppression and panic.
Sect Leader Wu Yuanshan's face was ashen, and his body trembled slightly.
He stared intently at the long-vanished Burial Valley, his chest heaving violently.
This was supposed to be a carefully laid trap to kill Star Palace and Shen Rugo, severely injure the genius disciples of various sects, and bring the greatest benefit to Qingyuan Sect and Wu Xuemei. How could it have turned out like this?
More than a thousand disciples, plus 153 key genius disciples under special training, are the cornerstone of Qingyuan Sect for the next hundred years!
Now it's all gone!
What Wu Yuanshan found even more unacceptable was that all of this seemed to be for the sake of making Shen Rugo who she was!
According to the fragmented information Wu Xuemei revealed when she hurriedly said goodbye to him before leaving, Shen Rugo not only repeatedly obtained opportunities in the secret realm, but also seized almost all of the power of the Heavenly Dao, successfully completed the foundation building of the Heavenly Dao, and became the biggest winner!
The power of the Heavenly Dao and the boundless Dao essence were cultivation treasures he had never seen before!
In other words, despite his meticulous planning, he ultimately brought glory to his enemy, Shen Rugo!
This is truly a case of trying to harm others but ending up harming oneself!
"puff!"
Growing increasingly enraged, Wu Yuanshan coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered, and almost lost his balance. His eyes were bloodshot, and he slammed his fist into a huge boulder beside him!
"boom!"
The mountain rocks instantly turned to dust, and the violent Nascent Soul spiritual power scattered uncontrollably, frightening the surrounding disciples who retreated in fear, their legs trembling.
"Shen Rugo! Star Palace! It's all your fault, it's all your fault that ruined our entire Qingyuan Sect!"
I, Wu Yuanshan, hereby swear to Heaven that I am your sworn enemy! I will not allow you to be reincarnated, even in death, unless I tear your souls apart and refine them!
Enraged, Wu Yuanshan roared to the sky, his voice hoarse, filled with endless resentment and madness.
With this roar, a sudden loud "crack" resounded, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the clear sky, hitting the tree in front of Wu Yuanshan!
With a loud crash, the tree was split in two and burst into flames.
Wu Yuanshan was startled and his face turned deathly pale.
In his fury, he made a vow to Heaven, which was accepted by Heaven.
At that moment, his heart clenched painfully, and he coughed up blood again.
