"Are you saying... Lu Changge?" Tang Tian asked.

From the current situation, it seems that Lu Changge is the ultimate beneficiary.

Moxiaoxiao looked at Tang Tian, neither denying nor confirming.

"I just said, those involved are often confused, while those on the sidelines see clearly," she said slowly. "The turmoil caused by Du Yuanqing's death has not only benefited Lu Changge, but there is another even bigger beneficiary."

"It didn't pay anything, nor did it suffer any losses, yet it resolved almost all the problems."

"Both internally and externally."

Tang Tian frowned, but after pondering Moxiaoxiao's last sentence repeatedly, a flash of insight struck his mind.

What consequences did the Du Yuanqing incident bring about?

First, the Du family clashed with Tianyangsheng, plunging into the flames of war.

Then, the flames spread to the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for Tang Tian's intervention, the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce would have already fallen apart.

Next, the Guan family suffered a tragic annihilation, and flames raged both inside and outside Qingyue Gate.

Following that, Lu Changge and Tianyangsheng fought each other, resulting in heavy casualties among the prestigious disciples they represented.

Finally, Moxiaoxiao's guilt was confirmed, and Nanfeng became the target of public criticism. Although Tang Tian prevented a major bloodbath, the casualties were still extremely severe.

Thus, the storm subsided.

Outside Qingyue Gate, the most powerful forces, the Du and Guan families, were severely damaged and completely reduced to lower ranks.

The Chen family, where Chensi Rou was, was incorporated by Moxiaoxiao, but let's not mention that for now.

The Dongfeng Jing family trembled in fear, paying a great price to prevent the war from reaching their doorstep. However, they suffered great damage and would find it difficult to recover.

The Tengyun Chamber of Commerce was on the verge of collapse.

Externally, there was no longer any force that could hinder its future.

Looking inward at the sect, almost half of the prestigious disciples had died.

Especially the upper-middle-level prestigious disciples, the Xifeng and Beifeng factions were completely wiped out, the Zhufeng and Nanfeng factions suffered more than half casualties, and even the Dongfeng faction, which had always managed to survive, inevitably suffered collateral damage and was forced to take sides, suffering heavy losses.

The deaths of a large number of prestigious disciples also meant that a large amount of power was released.

Qingyue Gate quickly filled these vacancies and took back the power it had given out.

The remaining prestigious disciples all went into hiding.

Even if the storm passed, they would still be trembling in fear and would never dare to act as recklessly as before.

Some of the rotten practices within the sect had already shown obvious signs of improvement during this period.

If we look at all the results combined...

The person who benefited the most from the Du Yuanqing incident is really not Lu Changge or any of the prestigious disciples.

It is Qingyue Gate itself!

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, Moxiaoxiao said slowly, "It seems that you have already guessed."

Tang Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

Then, he took a long breath and said, "This... is killing the donkey after it has been used."

The prestigious disciples provided a large amount of financial support for Qingyue Gate's rapid development over the years.

It can be said that without them, Qingyue Gate would not have been able to expand to its current scale in just over a decade.

However, when the direction of the sect's development needed to change, they became the first targets to be liquidated.

Tang Tian suddenly remembered what the Elder said when he first met him.

"The atmosphere within the sect has been deteriorating."

"It needs to be rectified."

Tang Tian originally thought that the rectification the Elder mentioned was only aimed at some chaos among the prestigious disciples and pure disciples.

But he didn't expect that these seemingly unremarkable words could cause such a huge impact.

A decision resulted in nearly a million people losing their lives in a few months, completely transforming the situation both inside and outside Qingyue Gate.

Is this the power that comes with authority?

And throughout, Qingyue Gate never truly intervened, not even sending out their own fighting force.

This method, this power, made Tang Tian couldn't help but be amazed.

No wonder so many people go crazy for power.

Indeed, it is a kind of fascinating power.

"What does it matter if you kill the donkey after grinding the millstone?"

Mo Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Throughout history, regardless of immortals or mortals, how many empires and dynasties have killed batches of founding heroes at their establishment?"

"What does the title of honorary disciple mean? They are just tools in their hands."

"When they are useful, they are used. Once they become a hidden danger, being eliminated is only a matter of time."

Tang Tian didn't say anything, just sighed silently.

He really couldn't play this game, nor did he want to.

He just wanted to steadily improve his own strength and eventually stand at the pinnacle.

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, Mo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have already achieved their goals."

"Those higher-ups seem to have achieved their own goals as well."

"So, just follow your own thoughts."

"And, the sect's evaluation of you has always been very good, there won't be any problems."

"From the current performance, you are considered the most qualified talent of the sect. If it weren't for your identity as an honorary disciple, you would have been treasured and secretly cultivated long ago."

Tang Tian shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

Indeed, he had always followed the sect's rules and regulations, without any transgressions.

And because of the system, he also supported the sect's development, seemingly without any ulterior motives.

Any normal sect wouldn't treat him as a sacrificial tool.

Those bizarre sects that knew their disciples were outstanding but still persecuted them would have long disappeared.

"It's okay, I'm just feeling emotional."

Tang Tian sighed, "After all, I am also part of the group of honorary disciples."

When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves, there must be some feelings.

Mo Xiaoxiao said, "It's normal to have such feelings."

"But after seeing it too many times, it doesn't matter anymore. The world is never lacking in senseless wars."

Tang Tian nodded, "Then... do you still have to deal with them?"

Mo Xiaoxiao fell silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I don't plan to suffer losses for nothing."

"Since they used me, they must pay a price."

"But I definitely won't start with Qingyue Gate, I will find my place in Tianfu."

"Also, my investigation only revealed a rough idea before being forcibly stopped."

"As for who is behind this conflict, it's still unknown."

"If you find accurate clues, please let me know so that I can clarify who my target is."

Tang Tian nodded.

Even if Mo Xiaoxiao didn't say it, he would continue to investigate.

He didn't forget that he was also calculated by the other party at the beginning.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about some other things and began the handover of Nanfeng.

Mo Xiaoxiao would take away most of the high-level members, but she would also leave some to assist Tang Tian in overall planning.

Yin Ke was the person in charge among them.

Tang Tian also called Li Hong and asked him to contact Yin Ke and fully take over the internal and external forces managed by Nanfeng and Mo Xiaoxiao.

As for the Lan Yu sisters, Tang Tian planned to let them take over the Sixth Peak.

Consider it as training.

After about half a day, Tang Tian and Mo Xiaoxiao settled everything.

And Mo Jun expressed that after going to Tianfu, he would arrange the initial matters for Tang Tian.

Then, Mo Xiaoxiao and Mo Jun bid farewell and left.
