During such a life-and-death situation, the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk did not deliver even a single ssage.
Ning Qingman knew that Li Fei didn't want to involve her, let alone put her in danger once again.
"Fool...."
The invisible Sword Qi broke through the room's window, and the Sword Immortal vanished from within.
The visitor looked up, relieved, and hurriedly ran out of the box to report back.
Li Fei not only refrained from sending any ssages to Ning Qingman, but on his way to West Pole Country, he issued a strict order to the entire Secret Investigation Departnt—
Not to reveal anything about the West Pole Country battle to Ning Qingman.
Yet Ning Qingman still learned of the matter through the Secret Investigation Departnt.
Only because soone had laid a trap in the Secret Investigation Departnt in advance.
...
Lingxu Mountain.
Ascension Pavilion.
The place where True Monarch Wu Hui attained his breakthrough, and now it's also where he is in seclusion for cultivation.
At this mont, a man in a Yuhua Sect Daoist robe stood upright outside the gates of Ascension Pavilion, looking up towards the top.
A mont later, a voice ca from inside the pavilion:
"Wu Lin, junior brother, I didn't realize when you beca one of the Da Lan Dynasty's n?"
The man's Taoist na is Wu Lin, a top-level True Man of the Yuhua Sect. He is responsible for selecting, guiding, and appointing entry-level disciples within the sect, enjoying high prestige.
Shortly after Profound Heart True Monarch defected, Wu Lin suddenly arrived outside Ascension Pavilion, seeking a eting with True Monarch Wu Hui.
Upon hearing True Monarch Wu Hui's words, Wu Lin slightly frowned:
"I haven't even spoken, yet you already know I ca for the Da Lan Dynasty. Are you saying the Buddhists already contacted you before ?"
"Yes, the Buddhists indeed contacted as well."
True Monarch Wu Hui said.
Although the Yuhua Sect's tenet is to seek immortality on the mountain, unbothered by worldly matters.
But not everyone in the sect wishes to adhere to this tenet.
Just like the Daluo Sect and Upper Pure Sect, which constantly ddle in worldly affairs, there are also many within Yuhua Sect with various thoughts and are unwilling to stay on the mountain forever seeking immortality and Dao.
Wu Lin's eyes were stern: "Senior brother, have you already agreed to the Buddhists?"
True Monarch Wu Hui: "If I had agreed to the Buddhists, shouldn't I have set off for West Pole Country by now?"
Wu Lin was sowhat anxious: "So, senior brother, you still refuse to help either side this ti?"
"They fight their battles, what does it have to do with ?"
Wu Hui's tone was indifferent.
"Senior brother, you have already aided the Da Lan Dynasty once before!"
"That was to obtain Qing Xu's dying breakthrough insights."
"But the Buddhists won't think so! If they win this ti, our Yuhua Sect will find no peace in the future!"
"Our Yuhua Sect has never interfered in worldly matters for hundreds of years. No matter who gains this world, as long as they don't provoke us, our sect poses no threat to anyone. The Buddhists won't trouble us over this matter."
True Monarch Wu Hui said.
Wu Lin sneered: "Senior brother, have you considered that you were willing to agree to Da Lan Dynasty's request last ti because of sothing, to draw your sword against the Buddhists? Who can guarantee you won't draw your sword for sothing else in the future?
In the future, no matter who gains the world, as long as they rember this, it will cause unease for you, and for our Yuhua Sect!"
True Monarch Wu Hui remained silent.
In this matter, he indeed lacked confidence.
Because he broke Yuhua Sect's tenets for personal desire.
However, after obtaining Qing Xu's dying breakthrough insights, he didn't keep it to himself but compiled them into a volu along with his own insights and understanding, placing them in Ascension Pavilion.
In the future, important figures of Yuhua Sect will have the opportunity to browse this priceless notebook!
"Junior brother, since our Yuhua Sect has already sided with Da Lan Dynasty once, why can't we continue to do so? The Daluo Sect and the court have a blood feud, and the Upper Pure Sect is two-faced, unworthy of trust.
If our Yuhua Sect can firmly stand with Da Lan Dynasty, in the future, among the Taoist Three Sects, our Yuhua Sect will be the most revered! Positions like Righteous Law Pavilion cabinet minister, Pavilion Master, State Preceptor during the reign could be held by people from our Yuhua Sect!"
Wu Lin's expression was slightly passionate.
With his status in the Yuhua Sect, if it can replace the Upper Pure Sect, then the position currently held by Master Xuan Chen should be swapped with his, allowing him to assu the role of Righteous Law Pavilion Master!
"Junior brother, I rember when we both climbed the mountain together as youths, accepted as direct disciples by the master. You once firmly told that you must in this life attain the Supre Immortal Dao, and the peak is not your end, you want to see the scenery on the summit."
True Monarch Wu Hui sighed, "Have you forgotten those words?"
Wu Lin paled, clenched his fists.
He bitterly smiled: "In the ignorance of youth, thinking the Great Dao was beneath one's feet. After a hundred years of harsh cultivation on the mountain, coming to realize the difficulty of seeking immortality, the loftiness of the Great Dao, and the insignificance of oneself."
Those chosen as disciples by Yuhua Sect initially all possessed steadfast Dao hearts.
But as ti passed, many would, like Wu Lin, beco aware they would never achieve that goal in this lifeti.
Not to ntion attaining immortality, many cannot even reach the summit, top-level True Man, or even the True Realm.
So can grit their teeth and persist, but so gradually drift away from their original intentions.
A long silence ensued.
Wu Lin lowered his head, gritting his teeth:
"Since senior brother still refuses to take action, then I ask for your pardon, for I, junior, have presumptuously arranged for others to leave the mountain, and henceforth, I too shall depart!"
If you wish to seek immortality and Dao, go ahead and seek it.
But do not hinder others from pursuing their own future.
This is what Wu Lin wants to convey to Wu Hui.
Wu Hui sighed: "Even if you rush to West Pole Country now, it will be too late."
Wu Lin and his people are not peak strong persons; their flying speed and endurance are far inferior to that of the peak.
