Chapter 159 I Will Become the Leader of the Intercepting Sect
The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 159 I will become the leader of the Jie Sect. I look forward to your visit.
"Please forgive me, Senior Brother!"
Seeing that Taibai was angry again, Duobao immediately straightened up and hurriedly apologized.
He had seen through his senior brother clearly; his previous amiable demeanor was entirely a facade.
At this moment, Taibai was majestic and awe-inspiring, and his actions showed no mercy.
Although Duobao knew he wouldn't die, he absolutely didn't want to experience that real pain again.
Looking at Duobao's fearful and apprehensive demeanor, Taibai's anger at Duobao's disappointment and frustration intensified.
He could hardly contain himself; he really wanted to step forward and slap him a few times to wake up this dull-witted junior brother.
"Fool! Our Jie Sect lacks a magical treasure to suppress the flow of fortune, and rectifying the atmosphere within the sect is an imperative. And you, you dare to obstruct it?"
I know you haven't taken these things to heart, but you need to understand...
If these corrupt practices are not eradicated, it will continue to tarnish the reputation of our Jie Sect and cause countless beings to harbor resentment towards our teacher!
"You may not care about the teacher's sacred name, but I do."
I'm putting it this way today: there's no room for negotiation on this matter.
If I see you interfering again, don't blame me for disregarding our camaraderie!
Taibai's resolute decision left Duobao no room for rebuttal.
However, in Duobao's lowered eyes, his thoughts were still racing.
What he was still thinking about was how to protect his disciples.
Those people were the foundation he laid for his future, the bargaining chips he accumulated.
Taibai took in Duobao's expression.
Based on his years of understanding of him, Taibai had already guessed seven or eight parts of his thoughts.
Considering that in the original timeline, Duobao was able to draw his sword against the Taiqing Sage for the sake of the Jie Sect and his fellow disciples, it is clear that deep down, he had a very strong affection for the Jie Sect and its disciples.
A complex emotion swept through Taibai's heart. He suddenly sighed softly, his tone seemingly softened yet firm.
"Enough. Heaven is above, and I, Taibai, hereby swear:"
"Unless forced by dire circumstances, I would never have assumed the position of leader of the Jie Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly flashed above Jin'ao Island, disappearing in an instant, passing straight through Biyou Palace and landing on Taibai's head.
Upon witnessing this scene, Duobao was struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning.
He never expected that Taibai would give up the position he had painstakingly sought so easily, without even the slightest hesitation.
However, a deeper doubt soon crept into his mind.
Since the eldest brother's goal is not the position of sect leader, what is the purpose of his large-scale crackdown and iron-fisted purge?
Could it really be as he said, that it was merely for the sake of the Jie Sect's reputation for clarity?
"The Jie Sect is the lineage of sages; how can it be defiled by those scoundrels?"
I did not expel them all from the sect, which is already an act of leniency out of consideration for our shared sect.
I will leave soon. Until then, I do not wish for any further trouble from the Jie Sect.
After speaking, Taibai didn't look at him again and turned to walk straight out of Biyou Palace.
Outside the palace, Zhao Gongming had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Taibai come out, he quickly stepped forward, his face showing obvious embarrassment.
"Senior Brother, you've finally figured it out. The matter of the Yaksha clan of the East Sea still requires your personal decision."
This matter involves Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, one of the Seven Immortals who attend to the emperor.
In order to quickly and thoroughly eliminate Jin'ao Island, under the planning of the Holy Mother Jinling, the entire fairy island was divided into four areas.
Zhao Gongming and Jinling Shengmu had the highest level of cultivation, so the areas under their jurisdiction were mostly inhabited by people with profound cultivation.
However, Zhao Gongming found this situation quite troublesome.
Within the area under his jurisdiction, four of the seven attendants alone carried considerable karmic burdens.
What's even more troublesome is that rumors of the Jie Sect purging disciples with heavy karma have already spread.
In addition to the astonishing fluctuations that recently emerged from Jin'ao Island, all these signs combined to cause the news to spread rapidly throughout the prehistoric East Sea region.
For this reason, many aquatic creatures that had been lying dormant in the East China Sea and had been bullied by the disciples of the Jie Sect to varying degrees began to stir.
The pent-up resentment from the past found an opportunity to be released at this moment.
Even if they might face retaliation in the future, many groups feel it was worth it, especially those who have blood feuds with their relatives.
Among them, the Yaksha clan of the East Sea were the most indignant.
Jin'ao Island is located in the East China Sea, where the Yaksha tribe has the best access to information.
The clan chief was furious and went directly to Jin'ao Island to find Zhao Gongming.
But when Zhao Gongming heard that the Yaksha clan chief was going to sue Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, one of the Seven Immortals, he immediately felt a headache coming on.
The seven attendants were indeed all within his jurisdiction. The previous punishment of Qiu Shou Xian was only carried out smoothly thanks to the formidable power of his eldest brother, Tai Bai.
These seven people have always been closely connected and have a very good understanding of each other.
Zhao Gongming knew perfectly well that he alone would hardly be able to gain their approval, let alone make a move against Chang'er.
"Where is the chieftain of the East Sea Yaksha clan? Have you made proper arrangements for him?"
Zhao Gongming was not worried, as he had already left twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls beside the Yaksha in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Although that Yaksha had cultivated to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, similar to the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, his background was ultimately no match for that of a sage's disciple. If they were to truly fight, he probably wouldn't last long.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I've made all the arrangements. The yaksha has been placed near the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal's cave."
After learning about the yaksha's whereabouts, Taibai headed straight for the cave of Chang'er Dingguangxian.
At this moment, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian had already sensed an unfamiliar presence surrounding the cave.
Without making a sound, he first sent a message to the other seven attendants before slowly walking out of the cave and casually observing the figure not far away.
The Yaksha clan chief had a blue face and fangs, and his body was shrouded in a misty aura.
At this moment, he was staring intently at Chang Er Ding Guangxian, his eyes filled with resentment, but he clenched his teeth and dared not utter a single word.
Long-eared Dingguangxian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pretending to be completely unaware of the situation, his eyes filled with a mixture of inquiry and arrogance.
Suddenly, Taibai's figure silently descended, his aura enveloping the surroundings.
"Disciple Chang Er Ding Guang Xian greets Senior Brother Tai Bai."
When Chang Er saw Tai Bai descend upon this place, he immediately bowed to him, but he did not mention a word to the Yaksha beside him.
Taibai's gaze swept over Yaksha, and seeing that Yaksha's body was tense and his eyes were bloodshot, he knew that there must be a hidden story behind this.
Therefore, Taibai didn't waste any words and directly looked at Chang'er Dingguangxian and asked:
"Long-eared Immortal Dingguang, do you recognize this yaksha before you?"
After he finished speaking, silence fell over the surroundings.
Long-eared Dingguangxian's expression remained unchanged; he even raised his eyes slightly in confusion, as if he were seeing the yaksha's appearance for the first time.
The Yaksha clan leader, his throat bobbing and his hands clenched into fists, ultimately only lowered his head slightly, even his breathing becoming extremely shallow.
