The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 427 Strike
Penglai Immortal Sect.

Shi Lin called over three junior brothers and sisters, and directly handed a jade talisman to the three of them: "Look."

"what?"

Zhan Xiao didn’t understand, but he still took the jade talisman and checked it immediately.

But after just a glance, his face turned pale: "This... How is this possible..."

"What made Junior Brother lose his composure like this?"

Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but send out a divine thought.

But after seeing the information clearly, the deputy leader of Penglai Immortal Sect couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is impossible!"

"Brother, sister?"

Shui Yunhan couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly probed his spiritual thoughts into the jade talisman.

After seeing the information clearly, her face turned pale.

After a while, she even looked at Senior Sister Shi Lin in a daze: "The deputy head of Tiandao Sect, Yaoguang...one man and one sword, killed his way into Yinyue Sect, beheaded the seven supreme demon lords of Yinyue Sect, and forced Yinyue Sect to close the mountain? One man defeated an entire sect? This... is this true?"

"It is now known to everyone that it is absolutely true."

Shi Lin sighed as he spoke, "Back then, Yaoguang was feared throughout the world in the Southern Region, and he killed the two Shattered Void Demon Lords, Eight Desolations and Darkness. You said that he relied on the strength of the formation and that it was not his real ability. Later, he killed Jing Yuntian, a Shattered Void master who colluded with the Yinyue Demon Cultivator, in the Tiandao Sect, and defeated Zhen Xuanyuan and Gu Li alone. You also said that this was an internal show, and you even boasted that you would be able to achieve the same level of cultivation after you became a Shattered Void. What about now?"

She glanced at her fellow disciples and sisters: "The death of the seven Shattered Void Demon Cultivators of the Yin Yue Sect has been confirmed by many forces, and the Yin Yue Sect has been forced to shrink all its forces and stay indoors. Now you don't have any other excuses, thinking that the Yin Yue Sect is using its own reputation to cooperate with Master Yaoguang to commit fraud, right?"

"How could this be possible..."

Leng Qingqiu thought of the scene when he first met Yaoguang.

At that time, he was clearly just a void...

Well, although he had broken through to the realm of refining emptiness, he had only just broken through.

He was able to escape from the hands of the three great masters, Zhengyang and Xuanyin, only by relying on the power of his innate Taoist magic.

But now...

How long has it been?!

Just a few decades.

It’s not even enough for her to master a Taoist technique!
Finally I looked back...

"How can he be... so strong?"

The deputy sect leader murmured.

"This must be the Master... is..."

The first thing Zhan Xiao wanted to say was that his master was biased and was secretly supporting Yaoguang.

But he couldn't continue after he had just started talking.

However, Shi Lin knew what he wanted to say.

This time, she did not care about the psychological endurance of these junior brothers and sisters, and said bluntly: "Secretly support? Even if there is a Taoist Lord who fully supports it, who can really do this?"

She said quickly, "The eldest prince of the Tianyuan Immortal Dynasty, Yuan Wuxiu, is extremely talented. He became a refining void in a hundred years. Three hundred years ago, he has been practicing with Taoist Master Yuan Jian since he returned from the outer space. But after three hundred years, he is still only the nineteenth on the Taoist Master Candidate List! The direct disciple of Taoist Master Biluo of Tongtian Sect has also received personal instruction from this Taoist Master for hundreds of years. After the Taoist Master left, he practiced hard for another three thousand years. Today, he is over four thousand six hundred years old and is ranked tenth on the candidate list. He has killed only five broken voids in his life. Even Taoist Master Yuanxu's direct disciple, True Master Xujin, has followed this Taoist Master for three thousand years and has practiced for eight thousand years. He is ranked sixth on the Taoist Master Candidate List, but he is also unable to achieve the feat of suppressing an entire sect alone!"

After saying that, the usually amiable elder sister glanced at the few people and said, "Yaoguang has only been practicing for a hundred years. Even though he has Daojun's constant guidance, if he is not gifted, how could he have reached this level? What about you? If you add up the time that Master has been guiding you, it is almost a hundred years. But you haven't even broken through the Shattered Void Realm. What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant and bossy here?"

After this, Zhan Xiao, Leng Qingqiu and Shui Yunhan were left speechless.

Shui Yunhan, in particular, couldn't help but shrink his head.

Zhan Xiao and Leng Qingqiu at least did not achieve Shattered Void, but she...

As a disciple of the Taoist master, he has been in the sect for more than a hundred years, but has not even broken through to the realm of refining emptiness.

She was originally proud of herself for having reached the peak of the Void Realm after practicing for less than two hundred years, but now compared with Yaoguang...

Do not!
There is simply no comparison between the two.

"Today, I have to admit that I, as the senior sister, have failed in my duty. I have completely failed in educating and disciplining you."

Shi Lin sighed deeply, "You keep saying that Yaoguang was trained entirely by Master, but in fact, Master may have helped him a little, but that help is definitely not even a fraction of what he helped us with. You should be able to tell from the fact that Master is preparing to deal with the Dao Contest while also having to monitor the movements of Yulin Demon Saint. She doesn't have the time."

Zhan Xiao and Leng Qingqiu remained silent.

Their master is indeed very busy. And...

Just like Shi Lin said, even if the master really supported Yaoguang in secret, the fact that Yaoguang could practice to this level after decades would be enough to show off to any Taoist master if it were spread out.

"In fact, now I hope that Yaoguang is indeed the chess piece that Master secretly discovered and cultivated. Compared with him, the people in our Penglai Immortal Sect are really useless. Once Master enters the gate of the immortal world and ascends to the immortal world in the future, the entire Penglai Immortal Sect will most likely collapse immediately. If Yaoguang is here, let him take over the Penglai Immortal Sect, at least he can maintain the inheritance of the Penglai Immortal Sect."

Shi Lin said helplessly.

"Let Yaoguang take over the Penglai Immortal Sect?"

Leng Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted: "I don't agree!"

Zhan Xiao at the side also quickly followed up and said, "Yes, Senior Sister, Penglai Xianzong was developed by us with great effort, and we cannot let an outsider take advantage of it no matter what... Although he may be a disciple secretly accepted by Master, but... How can such a disciple who is not presentable really inherit the sect's heritage in the future and sincerely lead Penglai Xianzong to prosperity? Maybe he only cares about the interests of our Penglai Xianzong, and after becoming the sect master, he will exploit our Penglai Xianzong wantonly."

"The interests of the Penglai Immortal Sect? Wantless exploitation?"

Shi Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard what Zhan Xiao said: "How much profit do you think Penglai Xianzong has? If it weren't for Master's subsidies from time to time, Penglai Xianzong couldn't even achieve the most basic balance of income and expenditure, and its annual income would be less than 100 million! Once Master left, Penglai Xianzong would be a mess! And how much is the income of Master Yaoguang's Southern Region this year? Let me tell you! It's 300 million! The income of his Southern Region is three times that of our Penglai Xianzong! And as they fully unleash the productivity of the Southern Region, the future income will surely exceed 500 million or 1 billion!"

She looked at her junior brother and said, "Don't stay in the Deep Blue Sea all the time. Go out and have a look! They have ten or even dozens of times more income. Do you think they would look down on us, the Penglai Immortal Sect?"

"Five hundred million or one billion are only future profits. Now, isn't it three hundred million? Penglai Immortal Sect can increase their profits by 30%. How can they ignore it?"

Leng Qingqiu said, and immediately said: "In short, I will never accept him to be in charge of Penglai Immortal Sect."

Shi Lin had only heard some similar remarks from the Taoist Master Penglai, and he was using them to test the attitudes of his fellow disciples. Their reactions right now...

She thought back to her master's tone of voice at that time...

At this moment, the acting sect leader was completely disappointed with them.

After a while, she slowly said, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. If that day really comes, the worst that can happen is that Penglai Xianzong will be split into two sects. Those who are willing to join me to serve Master Yaoguang will obey Master Yaoguang's orders. For those who are not willing, I will not force you to do so because we are sisters."

"Branch sect?"

As soon as these words came out, Shui Yunhan was a little panicked: "Big Sister, you don't care about us anymore?"

"Yes, Senior Sister, we agreed that we are all one family in Penglai Xianzong. How could you abandon us?"

Leng Qingqiu was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Isn't it normal for a family to quarrel and split up because of different ideas?"

Shi Lin said calmly: "Although what I said is just a possibility, if you continue like this, there is a high possibility that the division will become true. At that time, the only one you can rely on will be you."

"Big sister...how can you say that..."

"If you really think you have the ability to do better than Yaoguang, you should be happy about the separation. Or..."

Shi Lin looked at them and said, "You know you have no ability, but you insist on occupying the position and are unwilling to let someone more capable lead you?"

"Senior Sister..."

Leng Qingqiu was about to say something, but Shi Lin interrupted him: "Well, if you can learn from your mistakes and practice hard, and show enough potential and talent, Master will definitely cultivate you vigorously and entrust you with important tasks. But if you still have difficulty in achieving anything..."

She sighed a little tiredly: "That's it."

……

Yaoguang didn't know that the Penglai Immortal Sect was facing division because of his news.

At this moment, he was secretly following Qi Sha, leading his men into the Yin Yue Sect's territory, and swallowing up the sixteen states close to the Yin Yue Sect one by one.

He originally thought that the Yinyue Sect would leave some backup plans in these lands, but...

The Yinyue Faction withdrew very cleanly.

Not to mention Dongxu, Lianxu and Suixu, even there were only a few Dongxu war immortals left, and they all retreated back to the vicinity of the main sect's mountain gate.

Under such circumstances, the Southern Region army led by Qi Sha, Chu Gushan, Qin Shiyue and others was unstoppable.

Yaoguang went to the Yinyue Sect headquarters again and looked at the formation that was in a half-open state, but he did not rush in rashly.

After confirming that the Yinyue Sect had closed its doors, he returned to Nandu.

When he returned to Nandu, Li Hanqiu, Wan Liugui and others had already refined the Taoist flying boat bestowed upon them by Yaoguang, and were ready to return to the Cangwu world.

Seeing that it was nothing serious, he didn't waste time.

Taking Li Hanqiu and a few hundred others with him, they drove the Taoist flying boat into the sky and headed straight for the starry sky outside the domain.
