Chapter 220 Since She Refuses To Be Decent? Then Help Her Face!
Chapter 220: Since she refuses to be dignified? Then let's help her be dignified!
Qin Muling's expression froze for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This matter should be decided by the Master and the Elders. I, as a junior, don't need to express my opinion."
This matter concerning the future of the sect is not something that even Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan, with her current status, can have a say in. Qin Muling naturally doesn't want to get involved easily and would rather listen to the decision of the Sect Master and the Elders.
No matter how important Lu Yunshui is, she is just an outsider. Qin Muling is not so foolish as to upset their own Sect Master for the sake of a stranger they have never met.
Mu Yinghua's expression eased upon hearing this, and she glanced at the young man with satisfaction. After all, he was the disciple she personally raised, so how could he betray her?
Emperor Xin Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "If she cannot stay, how many other Supreme Elders are there in her lineage? List them all."
Mu Yinghua then reported more than ten names, all of them at the level of Golden Immortal and Supreme Primordial Golden Immortal, currently sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm.
As for their close relatives and disciples within the sect, they have all been cleansed after the new Sect Master took office. Those who were not cleansed have already been exiled, and none of them are alive anymore.
Of course, Mu Yinghua did not inherit her authority from Lu Yunshui. The first Sect Master after Lu Yunshui's retirement was her own Master. It took only a few hundred years for her Master to die and be forced to reincarnate and start over due to a failed attempt to break through to the Saint Realm. Only then did it fall to her.
Emperor Xin Yu nodded slightly, "It is not easy for the sect to cultivate a strong Golden Immortal, not to mention a Taiyi or Great Principle level expert. It is indeed a waste to give up on them. However, since all the Elders think so, I will not act alone."
"Let them continue to sleep in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm! In addition, it would be best to investigate the sect's secret archives. Any Supreme Elders who were forced into seclusion due to serious crimes should not be given the opportunity to be reinstated. What do you think?"
"The Emperor's words are excellent, and I have no objections," Qin Muling said.
Mu Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually worried that this third-generation disciple of the founder of the sect would protect Lu Yunshui, but fortunately, that did not happen.
Yu Lingzhou and the other female disciples of Yue Yi Tianjun all agreed, and the matter was settled.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Master, although Lu Yunshui is heavily injured and asleep, can she still take action?"
Mu Yinghua looked at him in surprise, "Of course she can. I estimate that she still has nearly a hundred years of lifespan left. What do you want to do?"
If the sect is facing a life-or-death crisis and the inheritance is about to be severed, most of the Supreme Elders sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm can still take action. They can burn their last source of life force and drag a corresponding number of enemies along with them, making the final contribution to the sect.
This is the case in most other Supreme Daoist forces as well. These Supreme Elders, who are like living dead, are the last trump cards of their respective forces.
Qin Muling said, "If all the Supreme Elders are successfully restored, but they ignore the elders of her lineage, will she hold a grudge? Will she wake up and cause trouble?"
Mu Yinghua's expression changed slightly, and the other Elders also furrowed their brows. It is clear that this possibility does exist.
The sleeping Supreme Elders can still communicate with the outside world through their Spirit Partitioning consciousness. Therefore, Lu Yunshui cannot be kept in the dark about the recent events in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm. If she realizes that the high-level members of the sect are treating her lineage differently, how could she willingly endure it?
A Great Principal Golden Immortal who has been completely abandoned and sees no hope is bound to do something crazy and reckless.
"Emperor, it seems that only you can make the final decision on this matter," Yue Yi Tianjun said softly. To easily suppress a Great Principle, only a Quasi-Saint Emperor's status can do it. The other Supreme Elders are not enough to handle it.
Emperor Xin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, there is a hidden danger in this aspect. I will personally seal them one by one to eliminate any future troubles. What do you think?"
"Just sealing them?" Qin Muling was not satisfied with this arrangement. Seals can still be broken, and as long as they are alive, accidents are bound to happen.
Mu Yinghua was already quite satisfied with this outcome and asked, "Do you have a better solution, Mu Ling? "
Qin Muling hesitated for a moment and decided to speak his true thoughts, "My cultivation level is still low, far from being able to protect myself. So I would like to ask Emperor Xin Yu to take action and refine all these senior elders who have committed serious crimes into guardian puppets for me. What do you think?"
Emperor Xin Yu: "......"
Mu Yinghua: "......"
The senior elders present all had a change in their expressions and looked at Qin Muling with disbelief. They never expected that this seemingly harmless and beautiful young man would say such decisive words.
After a while, Yu Lingzhou sighed softly and said, "Junior Brother, this is a bit difficult. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is different from the Phantom Puppet Sect. There is no Divine Ability secret technique for refining high-level guardian puppets in the sect. Moreover, your cultivation level is too low. You can't even control a Golden Immortal-level guardian puppet, let alone a Great Principle-level one. So let's discuss this matter in the long term!"
Mu Yinghua forced a smile and said, "That's right, you don't lack protectors by your side now. Even Emperor Xin Yu has a projection incarnation looking after you. Why do you need guardian puppets?"
To erase the spiritual consciousness of a Great Principal Golden Immortal-level powerhouse and refine them into guardian puppets? It seems that since the establishment of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, there has never been such a precedent.
No matter how unbearable Luo Yunshui was or how much the elders disliked her, Great Principle is still Great Principle. The supreme power brings with it a noble status and dignity that cannot be easily erased. Even if they lose their power and have no chance of returning, they should not be treated like this.
Taking the secular royal dynasty as an example, if an ordinary person commits a serious crime, there are countless ways to die, and there is no dignity or decency. But if a royal prince commits a serious crime, even if it is treason, there will be a relatively dignified way of execution. This is the inherent privilege brought by status.
Even if they refuse to leave with dignity, there will always be someone to help them maintain their dignity.
This difference in treatment, even in the era Qin Muling lived in his previous life, has not fundamentally changed. In any time and space, absolute equality is impossible.
"In that case, let's follow Master's words."
Qin Muling didn't expect there to be this consideration. Seeing that the elders did not agree, he could only give up.
"Alright, Junior Brother, take a rest for a while and continue to treat those elders later."
Emperor Xin Yu said gently.
Qin Muling agreed and was immediately enveloped in a gentle light, being sent out of Emperor Xin Yu's Cave Mansion.
Returning to the palace in the back mountain of Imperial Dao Peak, he found that his senior sisters were nowhere to be found. He asked the leader of the maids, Mu Xiner, and learned that they had gone together to hunt and kill the Demon Race in the nearby Star Domain. It was estimated that they would not be back for a few days.
Without deciding what to do next, Mu Xiner's clear eyes looked at him, her delicate face blushing slightly. She gathered her courage and said, "If Senior Brother doesn't mind, let Junior Sister massage your legs and serve you. Or if you want any of the senior sisters to serve you, I can call them over. I believe they will be very happy."
"Well..."
Qin Muling hesitated and didn't answer immediately. It was strange that she never avoided her senior sisters when they were intimate, and sometimes even let them help push her waist, to the point where they had a bad influence on her.
A colorful glow flashed, and Yu Lingzhou's figure appeared. Like a gust of wind, she rushed over and held him with a smile, "Since they're not here, why don't you come to my dojo? Don't you like Senior Sister's cooking? Senior Sister can make something for you downstairs!"
Finally catching the opportunity to be alone with the junior martial brother, Yu Lingzhou thought to herself that she couldn't waste it.
Qin Muling hesitated for a moment, looked at the beautiful and charming face of the senior martial sister, and her hot and sexy figure, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Yu Lingzhou happily smiled and held him, soaring into the sky, flying towards her dojo, disappearing in an instant.
After a few moments, the figure of Yue Yi, the Heavenly Lord, appeared. Seeing the empty courtyard, he asked Mu Xiner about the situation, and the smile on his face froze.
It was true that the early bird catches the worm. If you're slow, you can't blame others.
After a while.
In a Cave Mansion with beautiful scenery and swirling clouds, twelve white jade cauldrons of different shapes were arranged in a line, and the pale golden flames burned at the bottom of the cauldrons. The white soup in the cauldrons had already boiled, occasionally flashing large patches of magnificent light, and the rich fragrance filled the air.
Lei Yuxingpeng, Yudai Jindiao, Fushan Yaoniuh, Longwei Jiaosha... They were all high-level demon beasts with Origin Immortal-level strength during their lifetime. They were stewed together with many rare Holy Medicine Divine Medicine, supplemented by Supreme Grade spiritual spring water and top-grade Law Treasure-level jade cauldrons. Its efficacy was comparable to that of the supreme elixir.
Yu Lingzhou had a profound and unique accomplishment in the field of gourmet food and refining tools. Qin Muling had already experienced this during the gathering of immortals, so he had high expectations for her culinary skills.
From a man's perspective, it's hard to refuse a woman who can take care of his appetite and desires, especially when she excels in all aspects.
At this time, Yu Lingzhou had changed into a thin and translucent dress, bustling around the jade cauldron like a butterfly among flowers. She skillfully controlled the heat, checked the status of the ingredients, and occasionally added some rare seasonings, making the splendorous light in the soup even more dazzling.
Qin Muling sat quietly behind a nearby table, which was filled with pre-meal spiritual fruit snacks and the carefully stored spiritual wine of the Yu family, allowing him to taste them at will.
Dozens of elegant and beautiful Yu family female descendants stood by, carefully serving.
After a while, when the heat was just right, Yu Lingzhou directed the female descendants to serve the delicacies from the jade cauldron in front of Qin Muling.
"Sister, come and eat together."
Qin Muling called out, and Yu Lingzhou agreed. She gave a signal to the female descendants, who slightly bowed and then all retreated.
Knowing that the senior martial sister had something private to say to him, Qin Muling didn't stop her and silently enjoyed the rare delicacies in the green jade bowl.
"...The biggest mistake Senior Sister made in her life was voting in favor of her when she first took the stage."
Yu Lingzhou's pure and tender face became unusually serious. She raised her hand and drank the wine in the bottle, her voice low.
The person she was referring to was naturally Luo Yunshui.
When the previous generation's sect leader retired, the candidates did not give in to each other, and they all had strong factions supporting them. But the one with the most competitive advantage was Luo Yunshui, after all, her cultivation was the strongest.
In the final stage, the members of the Elder Council deliberated and voted to decide the new Supreme Sect Leader. Although Luo Yunshui won in the end, there were voices of opposition. In the end, she only had two more votes than the candidate who ranked second.
Qin Muling calmly said, "You were not the only one who voted in favor, and no one expected the outcome to be like this, so it's not your fault. If we really want to hold someone responsible, her master and the former sect leader should bear the primary responsibility, right?"
As long as they have a normal mind, disciples of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would not want the decline of the sect. In this strength-oriented cultivation world of Extreme Void Starry Sky, it has been a tradition for millions of years for the most powerful cultivator to become the highest authority.
Therefore, Lu Yunshui's rise to power was not accidental. When she was still a core disciple, she made many contributions to the sect and achieved remarkable results in various aspects. That's why she gained the appreciation of many high-ranking elders. However, no one expected her performance after she took office.
Yu Lingzhou nodded, her beautiful face blooming with a bright smile. She gracefully lifted the wine jug and poured wine for Qin Muling herself.
"The reason why the Emperor still had the intention to plead for her before was not only due to tradition, but also because Lu Yunshui's lineage is connected to him," Yu Lingzhou explained softly.
"I see," Qin Muling understood. The founder of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace left nine third-generation disciples to guard the sect, which later evolved into the nine most powerful factions within the sect. However, the succession of the Supreme position of the sect was mostly controlled by Emperor Xin Yu's lineage.
For millions of years, there have been occasional outstanding representatives from other factions who managed to seize the position of the Supreme, but after one or two generations, they would be snatched back by outstanding descendants of Emperor Xin Yu's lineage.
Mu Yinghua's lineage, with Emperor Feng Ge as its origin, including Yu Lingzhou, Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan, and other elders, are all her disciples and grandchildren.
After Lu Yunshui was abolished, it was Mu Yinghua's master, Immortal Lord Miaoqing, who took over. Unfortunately, she failed to break through to the quasi-Saint Realm and was forced to reincarnate after only a few years. Now Mu Yinghua is still searching for her master's reincarnated body.
Now, due to Lu Yunshui's reckless actions, the entire faction has suffered a devastating blow. Although Emperor Xin Yu understands the cause and effect of the situation and agrees with the decision of the sect's high-ranking officials, there is still a sense of affection. That's why he was hesitant earlier.
"...So, your idea of turning Lu Yunshui into a guardian puppet is indeed beyond what the Emperor can bear, and it is also difficult for us elders to accept," Yu Lingzhou concluded.
"I understand," Qin Muling nodded and said no more. After all, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has never had such a precedent. Once this precedent is set, what will the other high-ranking elders think?
Since even a Great Principal Golden Immortal and the former Supreme have encountered such an outcome, will the same fate one day befall them? After all, most of the elders in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm are not as powerful as Lu Yunshui!
At this moment, deep within the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm...
"...Ancestor, you've come?" A young girl in a green dress, who looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, appeared. She had a delicate and pitiful appearance as she kneeled and saluted Emperor Xin Yu, who had a calm expression.
The girl in the green dress is Lu Yunshui's Spirit Partitioning projection. Her true body is still sleeping within the green crystal lotus behind her, nourishing and recovering with the vitality essence in this hall.
Emperor Xin Yu gazed at her for a few moments and sighed softly, "Lu Yunshui, do you understand your crime?"
The mistake has been corrected.
