Gu Qingxun had come out of seclusion. She had been personally imparted by a Supreme Elder and was nourished by the pneuma of the Earth Root. Naturally, her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. She rose rapidly on Penglai Island and became exceptionally dazzling.
However, not all the cultivators of Penglai Island were happy to see Gu Qingxun's strong rise, especially the Sacred Disciples of Penglai Island. These Sacred Disciples could be said to be the seed disciples of the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain. Any one of them had the opportunity and the potential to become the Sect Master of the Immortal Mountain. Therefore, the competition between these Sacred Disciples was quite intense. They might even directly attack each other ruthlessly. This was something that existed in any sect, and it was also a matter of course. In the world of cultivators, the weak were prey to the strong. As for the position of the Sect Master of an Immortal Mountain sect, many people were coveting it. After all, if one could become the Sect Master of an Immortal Mountain sect, he could mobilize a lot of manpower and resources to do what he wanted to do and search for the cultivation resources he wanted. All in all, power was not only useful in the secular dynasties, but also in the Immortal Mountain sects.
Gu Qingxun's strong rise in Penglai Island had undoubtedly aroused the fear of many Sacred Disciples. After all, Gu Qingxun had made a great contribution this time. She had brought back the Earth Root for Penglai Island, which had allowed Penglai Island to occupy the dominant position among the three Immortal Mountains. Because of the existence of the Earth Root, the foundation of Penglai Island had more than doubled. In this way, the number of cultivators on Penglai Island would naturally increase greatly, and its strength would also rise. Fangzhang Immortal Mountain and Yingzhou Immortal Mountain had no reason to go against Penglai Island at this time. Moreover, the three parties were originally on the same side. If the three parties did not join forces, they would not be able to secretly compete with Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Gu Qingxun was in the limelight, and the rest of the Sacred Disciples felt embarrassed. They knew that if they didn't suppress Gu Qingxun's limelight, Gu Qingxun would very likely get close to the throne of the Sect Master of Penglai Island. After all, Gu Qingxun was the daughter of the Palace Lord of Mystic Sacred Palace. She had some innate advantages.
Since Gu Qingxun had asked for help, Qin Lang naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing. So, Qin Lang immediately contacted Gu Qingxun and went to her cave abode. Ever since Gu Qingxun was promoted to a Sacred Disciple, her treatment in the sect had improved a lot. Her cave abode was now quite lively. Not only were there some true disciples cultivating with her, but there were also many inner and outer disciples. It was clearly a force that couldn't be underestimated.
"Ah Lang, you're here." Many Penglai cultivators were jealous that Gu Qingxun was so familiar with Qin Lang. After all, Gu Qingxun was now a very popular figure on Penglai Island. There was even news that she might become the candidate for the Sect Master of Penglai Island. So, it was naturally very important to build a good relationship with Gu Qingxun.
However, Qin Lang knew that it wouldn't be easy for Gu Qingxun to become the Sect Master of Penglai Island. This was because she was still inexperienced.
Although her talent, cultivation, and background were all qualified, the position of the Sect Master of Penglai Island was no small matter. Moreover, the current Sect Master, Daoist Qing Song, wasn't simple either. This person looked refined and aloof from worldly affairs, but in reality, he was someone with a lot of ideas. In short, this person wasn't simple! At least, Daoist Qing Song definitely didn't think about retiring soon. So, if Gu Qingxun wanted to become the Sect Master, she would have to abdicate.
Qin Lang had talked to Gu Qingxun about these things and received her approval. Gu Qingxun was more and more impressed with Qin Lang's abilities and strategies. Although Qin Lang didn't stand out among the disciples of Penglai Island, Gu Qingxun knew that her achievements today had a lot to do with Qin Lang. If it weren't for Qin Lang's guidance, Gu Qingxun definitely wouldn't have been able to stand out among the cultivators of Penglai Island so quickly.
"How should I deal with the Holy Disciples who want to deal with me?" Gu Qingxun asked Qin Lang, "How about we just defeat them all and teach them a lesson? However, there are two guys with very strong cultivation. I might not be able to win. "
"No, don't act rashly for the time being." Qin Lang said to Gu Qingxun, "You're already in the eye of the storm. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It's inevitable that someone will jump out to deal with you at this time. Even if you defeat a few of them, others will jump out to deal with you."
"Then what should we do? Should we just let it go? " Gu Qingxun snorted, obviously displeased. It was because those Holy Disciples had already begun to deal with Gu Qingxun secretly. It wasn't just in the dark anymore, but had become more obvious.
"Let it go? It doesn't matter who says so. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and it's never too late for a cultivator to take revenge in a hundred years. " Qin Lang said to Gu Qingxun, "Why? Do you really think that you can ascend to the throne of the Sect Master of Penglai Immortal Island as you wish after suppressing those Holy Disciples?"
Gu Qingxun couldn't help but blush when she heard this. In fact, she did have such ambitions, because she knew that if she wanted to go against Kunlun and avenge the cultivators of Mystic Sacred Palace, she would have to rely on the power of Penglai Immortal Island. Coincidentally, Penglai Immortal Island was obeying Kunlun's orders on the surface, but secretly disobeying them. In essence, Gu Qingxun and Penglai Immortal Island had the same interests, which was also the reason why Penglai Immortal Island accepted Gu Qingxun. Otherwise, the higher-ups of Penglai Immortal Island would have known that Daoist Zi Zhu had accepted Gu Qingxun as a disciple.
"This … Ah Lang, I know I'm a little impatient, but if I can become the Sect Master of Penglai Immortal Island …"
"No, don't think about the Sect Master's position now, because once you have this idea, your opponents won't be as simple as a few Holy Disciples. By then, your real opponent will be the current Sect Master, Daoist Qing Song!" Qin Lang's words hit the nail on the head.
Gu Qingxun was considered a smart person, so she understood immediately. It wasn't like she hadn't seen this kind of situation in Mystic Sacred Palace before. If Daoist Qing Song already had the idea of retiring, then Gu Qingxun's rise would be perfect. However, the key point was that Daoist Qing Song didn't want to "retire" so early and become a Grand Supreme Elder. Therefore, Gu Qingxun's rise would not only threaten the prestige and status of those Holy Disciples, but also threaten Daoist Qing Song's position as Sect Master. If Daoist Qing Song had the intention to deal with Gu Qingxun, then her situation in Penglai would become very difficult.
