"Why? Do you think I can't be the Sect Master?" Qing Xuan asked with a smile.
"That's not it." Xiao Lingyu shook his head.
"Actually, I'm not doing this for the Sect Master position. I just don't want the Nan Hua Immortal Sect to suffer any more losses. Although everyone would try their best to restrain themselves and not expand the scale of the competition and implicate too many people, there would still be Monarch level experts who would lose their lives every time. What's the point of letting your loved ones suffer and your enemies rejoice? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to compete to determine the Sect Master? "Qing Xuan explained.
"It's such an important competition. If they really get into a fight, they might lose their lives." Xiao Lingyu said disapprovingly.
"Haha, if they really agree to the competition, the only ones who would sign up would probably be Senior Brother Qing Wei and Senior Brother Qing Ping. Since they want to compete, why drag others into it? The two of them can just have a good fight and decide who's better. "Qing Xuan said with a smile.
Xiao Lingyu thought about it and agreed. Other than himself and Qing Xuan, the Monarch level cultivators in the Nan Hua Immortal Sect were either from Qing Wei or Qing Pingzi's faction. These two factions were led by the two of them respectively. If there was a competition, it would definitely be between the two of them.
"If this can be formed into a system, over time, our Nan Hua Immortal Sect's factions will gradually disappear and the Nan Hua Immortal Sect will be united. This is also beneficial to the sect's long-term development." Qing Xuan added.
"But the two of them have to agree first." Xiao Lingyu seemed to be worried.
For some reason, Qing Wei and Qing Pingzi didn't agree to Qing Xuan's suggestion. They just put this matter aside and Qing Wei stopped attacking Qing Pingzi's faction.
Xiao Lingyu had no intention of fighting for the position of Sect Master, so she didn't care much about it. After staying in the pavilion for another two months, she suddenly received a message from Zhong Zhi and left the Nan Hua Immortal School for the East Royal City.
After meeting with Zhong Zhi for less than 15 minutes, Xiao Lingyu left the East Imperial City and sent a message to Qing Xuan. She then entered the teleportation array and left the East Imperial Continent.
More than four hundred years ago, a group of Earth descendants had been surrounded by Celestial World experts several times their number. After receiving the news, Elder Qi had gone to reinforce and rescue them. However, Elder Qi had not returned to this day. Zhong Zhi felt that this matter was a little strange. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to tell Xiao Lingyu and ask Xiao Lingyu to go and take a look at the situation.
Xiao Lingyu was naturally duty-bound to do so. Therefore, before leaving, he sent a message to Qing Xuan and asked Qing Xuan to help take care of Anya. He also said that he would be back soon.
After continuously teleporting for almost a hundred years, Xiao Lingyu finally stopped at a continent called the "Golden Rock Continent". After exiting the teleportation array, he sent a message to Elder Qi. However, he didn't receive a reply after waiting for two hours.
According to Zhong Zhi, Elder Qi said before leaving that he was going to the Golden Rock Continent to rescue the group of Earth descendants.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't be sure if Elder Qi and the group of Earth descendants were still in the Golden Rock Continent. However, he could only start investigating from here.
Anyway, something must have happened to Elder Qi. Otherwise, Elder Qi would have sent back a message.
After Xiao Lingyu entered the Golden Rock City, although he used a secret method to find the Bao Organization's branch, the branch was now empty.
He didn't stay in the Golden Rock Continent for too long. Instead, he searched for the people of the Bao Organization's branch in a few Immortal Continents near the Golden Rock Continent. Although he found a few people in charge of the branch, they didn't know about Elder Qi and the group of Earth descendants. Elder Qi also didn't look for them in recent years.
Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to return to the Golden Rock Continent. First, he used his identity as a member of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect to meet the City Lord of the Golden Rock City. After he still didn't get any useful information, he went to the most powerful sect in the Golden Rock Continent.
This sect wasn't very powerful. There was only one early-stage Martial Emperor in the entire sect. However, this early-stage Martial Emperor was already the most powerful cultivator in the Golden Rock Continent.
This sect and this early-stage Martial Emperor naturally didn't dare to offend the experts of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. They answered almost all of Xiao Lingyu's questions with a very good attitude. Here, Xiao Lingyu obtained some useful information.
According to this early-stage Martial Emperor, there were indeed signs of a large number of experts fighting in the southwest direction of the Golden Rock Continent a few hundred years ago. He also went to check it out at that time. However, it was too late. Other than seeing the traces left behind by the experts, he didn't find anything else.
Less than a hundred years after that battle, which left only a few traces, this early stage Spirit Emperor cultivator had felt a few very powerful auras surging from the southwest of the Golden Rock Continent. That place was not close to their sect. Even so, he could still feel those few powerful auras. He guessed that there were at least late stage Spirit Emperor experts releasing their auras, so he did not dare to go over to check.
After receiving this information, Xiao Lingyu left the sect and flew to the southwest direction of the Golden Rock Continent.
It didn't take long for him to find the battlefield that was still faintly visible even after hundreds of years of erosion. Then, he carefully searched it.
A few hundred years had passed. The auras left behind by the experts had long been blown away by the wind. The traces left behind by the experts were also blurred. Xiao Lingyu didn't have the heaven-defying ability to see the past. It was too difficult for him to find anything here.
Back then, the group of Earth descendants must have encountered a strong enemy here and retreated after a big battle. Nearly a hundred years later, Elder Qi arrived here. He should have also encountered a strong enemy. However, there was no way to analyze the specific situation of the battle.
If Elder Qi won, he would have returned. However, he couldn't conclude that Elder Qi lost just because of this.
"There are no traces of the battle between the Martial Emperors here. They most likely fought in the starry sky."
After figuring this out, Xiao Lingyu flew towards the vast starry sky. When he reached the clouds, he entered the Divine Palace.
The starry sky was vast. Only with the flying speed of the Divine Palace could Xiao Lingyu carry out a large-scale search.
After searching in the starry sky of the Golden Rock Continent for nearly ten years, Xiao Lingyu saw a planet not far away. It was constantly flashing with strange flowing lights. He steered the Divine Palace and flew over.
After approaching the planet, he exited the Divine Palace. Then, under the effect of the invisible divine robe, he disappeared without a trace.
Four hours later, he landed on the planet's surface. He was less than ten thousand kilometers away from the place where the flowing lights were flashing.
Quietly moving there, Xiao Lingyu saw more than a hundred experts from the Immortal World bombarding a circle of light that didn't cover a very large area.
There were more than thirty cultivators inside the circle of light.
Although the circle of light looked weak, its defensive power was actually very strong. Despite being bombarded by more than a hundred experts, it only trembled continuously without showing any signs of breaking.
Not wanting to expose his existence too early, Xiao Lingyu didn't use his consciousness to scan the area. However, by sensing the attacking aura of the cultivators, he could determine that more than thirty of them were in the Immortal Emperor Stage. The rest of them were in the Immortal Monarch Stage.
More than a hundred people were enough to destroy a large sect in the Immortal World that was slightly weaker than the Nan Hua Immortal School.
As for the level of the cultivators in the circle of light, Xiao Lingyu couldn't sense it. However, he found many of them very familiar.
The cultivators in the circle of light were the descendants of the Earth that Elder Qi wanted to rescue. Some of them had participated in the battle against the Heaven Incense School, so Xiao Lingyu recognized them.
The people who were being rescued were still in danger, so where was Elder Qi, who came to help?
The circle of light didn't show any signs of breaking, so Xiao Lingyu continued to observe in secret. However, he soon discovered that although the defensive circle of light was sturdy, it definitely wouldn't remain unbroken for hundreds of years if the experts outside were to really attack it with all their might. Moreover, the experts outside didn't attack very fiercely. They all looked like they had plenty of energy left.
"This kind of surprise attack and encirclement usually focuses on ending the battle quickly so as to avoid being delayed and not give the other party a chance to be rescued. But why are they doing this? Could it be that they're besieging the enemy to attack the reinforcements? "Xiao Lingyu was puzzled.
No matter what the other party was thinking, Xiao Lingyu couldn't continue to observe. He believed that in the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks were just a joke.
After searching around invisibly, Xiao Lingyu made sure that there were no Immortal Monarch experts hiding in the surroundings. Only then did he quietly approach the other party's group.
A cold light flashed out without any warning, and the head of an Immortal Emperor flew into the air before exploding.
The sudden change shocked the group of over a hundred experts from the Immortal World. At the same time, they were stunned. Before they could regain their senses, the cold light flashed again. Another Immortal Emperor was cut in half on the spot, and his Immortal Nascent Soul couldn't escape in time.
"Everyone, retreat. There's someone hiding here!"
After hearing the warning, the group of over a hundred people quickly retreated to the left and instantly released their auras at the same time, forming a defensive circle of light.
Just as these people were all staring outside in fear, the cold light flashed again in the defensive circle they formed together. In less than two breaths of time, nearly ten people had died on the spot.
They shouted again and then dodged to the other side. Someone shouted, "Everyone, release your auras with all your might and shake the space!"
With so many experts releasing their auras at the same time, the space naturally fluctuated. Xiao Lingyu's figure was also revealed.
He was dressed in black and had a transparent machete that was as thin as a cicada's wing. Although he had killed countless people, there wasn't a trace of blood on it. Xiao Lingyu stood in the fluctuating space with a cold expression, like a killing god.
Among the descendants of Earth, some of them recognized Xiao Lingyu, so they withdrew their defensive circle of light and surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
