Chapter 15962 Goal
In fact, some disciples of the Xuanming Sect had already heard the shouts when the rogue cultivators were yelling. They came out to check the situation, but when they saw Li Feng and the others, they immediately returned to their rooms. None of them were fools. The fact that Li Feng and the others were guarding the place meant that this matter was not something they could get involved in, so of course they wouldn't go over to ask. Therefore, they all obediently returned to their rooms.

The next morning, everything was calm and peaceful outside. The sect's ban had been lifted. Some curious disciples went to check out the places where the rogue cultivators lived. They found nothing except for some traces of battle in a few places. Most places were intact, but all the rogue cultivators had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this situation and recalling the shouts from last night, the disciples of Xuanming Sect felt a chill in their hearts, especially those who had just joined the sect. They were so frightened that their faces turned ashen. They suddenly understood why the sect had suddenly said it would expel all the rogue cultivators and force them to join the sect. It turned out that it was their last chance. Thinking of this, their faces became even more unsightly.

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing had already gathered Li Feng and the others in his study. Xuan Qing's face was expressionless. He glanced at everyone and said, "Now that the matter of the rogue cultivators is resolved, the next step is to deal with the other sects. This time, our target is the Jade Spirit Sect. We have a history of enmity with this sect, although we haven't fought each other for many years. But since we're dealing with other sects now, we should choose them as our first target. My idea is to send a group of disciples to the Jade Spirit Sect to assess their situation. Then we'll launch a surprise attack. I'll go first and use the Tiger King Banner to cover their entire continent, while also guarding their teleportation array. Then the sect's disciples will go and attack them. The Jade Spirit Sect should have five King City-level experts. Dealing with them should be easy. What do you all think?"

Everyone shook their heads. No one had any objections. Xuan Qing was the only Kingdom-level expert in the Xuanming Sect. Of course, no one could object to what he said. In addition, they dared not object to what happened last night. Last night, they finally learned what it meant to kill without blinking an eye.

Seeing that they had no objections, Xuan Qing spoke directly: "Li Feng, find some trustworthy rogue cultivators to go to the Jade Spirit Sect and check on their situation. If the Jade Spirit Sect asks, explain that the sect is expelling people, and those disciples are rogue cultivators who have fled there. We have been expelling rogue cultivators for some time now, and many sects know this, so they must know it too. Let them check on the situation there first, and then send the message back. We will find an opportunity to attack them. Yu Yangzi, make the arrangements and tell all the disciples in the sect to prepare for battle."

Everyone responded and then turned to leave. Xuan Qing glanced at them and went straight back to his room. As soon as he got back to his quiet room, he took out the Tiger King Banner and then his spiritual power entered the Tiger King Banner. As soon as his spiritual power entered the Tiger King Banner, he saw the desiccated corpses inside the Tiger King Banner. Countless black mists were surrounding the desiccated corpses, which were all lying there like sections of withered wood.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing couldn't help but smile. He knew very well what these mummies were; they had a special name: Chang Gui.

The term "serving as a tiger's accomplice" refers to these ghosts. Legend has it that these ghosts are people who have been eaten by tigers. Their spirits become ghosts and lure others to be eaten by tigers. The mummified corpses in Xuanqing's Tiger King Banner are a type of ghost. This is also a power of the Tiger King Banner. It can turn those killed by the Tiger King Banner into ghosts and store them in the banner. When fighting enemies, these ghosts can be released to attack them.

There are two types of changgui: one is dried corpses, and the other is ghosts. Ghosts are actually black mist. The attacks of the black mist can constantly switch between reality and illusion, and their attack power is very strong.

Mummified corpses are another type of vengeful spirit. They have physical bodies. Because they have become mummified and are nourished by yin energy, their bodies become as hard as steel, incredibly strong, and have a strong attack power.

However, whether they are ghost-type or mummified changgui, they all have natural enemies. Ghost-type changgui are afraid of energy weapons, while mummified changgui are afraid of fire-type magic. Of course, ordinary fire-type magic cannot harm them, but these mummified changgui have relatively lower defense against fire-type magic.

The longer these vengeful spirits are nurtured with Yin energy, the stronger they become in combat. Therefore, Xuan Qing must now dedicate time each day to nurturing the Tiger King Banner. Of course, he has also obtained a large amount of energy from the God of Greed, so his strength is improving every day. His rate of improvement is much faster than that of ordinary kingdom-level experts, which is quite remarkable.

Meanwhile, Xuanming Sect had already begun its operation. Li Feng and his group selected some trustworthy and quick-witted rogue cultivators and sent them to Yuling Sect to investigate their situation. They were tasked with assessing whether Yuling Sect was prepared or if any experts from other sects had gone there. After all, Yuling Sect and Xuanming Sect were enemies, and now that Xuanming Sect had a Kingdom-level expert, if the people of Yuling Sect were worried about Xuanming Sect's experts and attacked Yuling Sect, it would be a real problem. Therefore, they had to be prepared.

At the same time, all the disciples of Xuanming Sect were notified that they should be ready for battle at any time, which immediately made the atmosphere in Xuanming Sect tense.

Xuanqing continued to nurture the Tiger King Banner every day, and his Tiger King Banner grew stronger and stronger, but no one knew about this.

However, news of Xuan Qing becoming a Kingdom-level expert had already spread throughout their region. Some major sects, upon hearing this news, did not react much. In their view, it was just a small sect that had gotten lucky and had one person break through to the Kingdom level. Such a small sect posed no threat to them whatsoever. Their sects had more than one Kingdom-level expert. Dealing with such a small sect would be too easy for them. As long as these small sects did not provoke them, they would not bother with them.

As for the mid-tier sects, their attitude towards this matter was merely one of observation. While Xuan Qing's attainment of the Kingdom-level expert was indeed noteworthy, it was only something to be aware of; they didn't truly take it to heart. Even if a small sect had someone break through to the Kingdom level, their sect's foundation was limited. It was simply impossible for them to grow and expand rapidly in a short period. Moreover, even if that small sect were to truly grow and expand, it would target other small sects and seize benefits from them. It wouldn't dare to approach mid-tier sects like themselves, because that small sect wasn't yet qualified to take benefits from them. If that small sect dared to reach out to them, they wouldn't hesitate to wipe it out directly. Therefore, these mid-tier sects didn't react much, only observing the movements of the Xuanming Sect to see what they would do.

When they heard that the Xuanming Sect had taken in many rogue cultivators as disciples and was going to expel the others, they all smiled slightly. Generally speaking, the best way for a small sect to grow stronger is to absorb rogue cultivators into the sect. In this way, the sect's strength does appear to have increased significantly on the surface. However, while these rogue cultivators may be strong, their character is questionable. Suddenly allowing a large number of rogue cultivators to join the sect will definitely cause turmoil. They will need a long time just to digest these rogue cultivators. Therefore, the people from those sects were not worried at all. In their view, the Xuanming Sect would be very well-behaved for a long time to come because they would need a lot of time just to digest these rogue cultivators.

Unbeknownst to them, the Xuanming Sect had already set its sights on other sects. Although the Xuanming Sect had indeed absorbed a large number of rogue cultivators, resulting in a less than pleasant atmosphere and a truly foul ambiguity, Xuan Qing's annihilation of hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators had made them all behave themselves. Furthermore, their planned attack on the Yuling Sect was essentially a way to shift internal conflicts to external ones, turning them into external wars. Perhaps after a few battles, the internal conflicts within the sect would disappear. After all, everyone had fought side by side as comrades; what conflicts could there possibly be? Even if some conflicts remained, no one would take them seriously.

Five days after Xuanming Sect sent disciples into Yuling Sect, they received news from those disciples that the atmosphere at Yuling Sect was indeed somewhat tense, but only somewhat tense. They had not fully entered a strategic state. Their teleportation array was open all day and seemed no different from before, which made the people of Xuanming Sect breathe a sigh of relief.

Xuan Qing summoned Li Feng and the others to his study once again. Once they arrived, Xuan Qing looked at them and said, "The intelligence from the Jade Spirit Sect has been sent back. It seems that the Jade Spirit Sect doesn't believe we will attack them in the short term. This is good news for us. If we attack them now, we'll have the upper hand. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, and Meng Yu said, "Now, not only do all their sects think that our sect will not attack them in the short term, but now is the perfect time for us to attack them."
