Chapter 23 - I'm Killing You

Chapter 23 I’m Killing You

At the same time, in a cave abode in the upper-level district, Song He asked in a deep voice, “Qiu Changtian actually went out to train?”

Song He looked to be in his forties. He had a white face and a short beard. He looked rather honest. His cultivation level was already at the perfected level of the Transformation Realm. His strength was ranked second among the Foundation Establishment Chiefs under Sect Master Polestar, second only to the Head Chief, Xu Changqing. On ordinary days, when he was preaching the scriptures, he would sit on the second futon behind Xu Changqing. The previous time, he was forced to give up his position to Qiu Changtian, who had officially joined the sect. It was too humiliating, and it nearly broke his Qi cultivation.

“That’s right.” Zhao Wencheng replied with a grin. “Senior Brother Song He, he is a Qi Refinement brat after all. Why do you worry too much?”

This was Song He’s junior brother and confidant. He looked younger than thirty, and he seemed to be quite scheming as his eyes darted around.

“That’s right.” His junior brother, Qiu Yuan, agreed. “It won’t be more than twenty years until the day Chief Xu Changqing undergoes the Tribulation Transcendence.”

“Even if that person has an Enlightened Dao heart and peerless talent, he would at most be in the peak stage of the Qi Refinement Stage and started Purification when Xu Changqing is in the Core Formation Stage.”

“Counting his dog-shit luck, he might probably ascend the Stairway to Heaven. He might be lucky to have succeeded in Purification, but he would only barely enter the Transformation Stage. At that time, how can he compete with you, a Senior Brother at the perfected level of the Transformation Realm, for the position of Head Chief?”

Both of them were confident that Qiu Changtian would not be able to skip two levels and advance to the perfected level of the Transformation Realm before Xu Changqing could form the core.

However, Song He remained frowning. After a while, he said, “I heard that the Li Palace is about to open.”

“Li Palace?” Zhao Wencheng asked in surprise.

“Could it be the East Sea Li Palace?” Qiu Yuan was also shocked.

“Other than that, which Li Palace can it be?” Song He sighed faintly.

“If it really is that Li Palace of the East Sea, could it be!?” Zhao Wencheng suddenly thought of something and said in shock, “Master probably already had plans to let him take a trip to the East Sea Li Palace and obtain a vast amount of True Qi, directly skipping the Qi Refinement stage that would have required at least twenty years of hard work.

“Then, he will use the bone marrow cleansing technique to help him speed up his Purification stage and vaporize his True Essence to form the Purple Mansion.

“Leaping two levels in a row, and finally investing resources at no cost before Xu Changqing forms his core, rushing to the perfected level of the Transformation Realm in one go to inherit this chief disciple position!”

Qiu Yuan’s expression darkened as he echoed, “It’s very possible! If that wasn’t the case, why did the Master let him sit on the second mat that day?”

Song He was silent for a moment before he sighed. “The path of cultivation is narrow, and it doesn’t allow two people to walk together. We can only compete with our strength.”

Zhao Wencheng and Qiu Yuan’s expressions immediately became serious. The position of the Head Chief of the Foundation Establishment Stage was really too important to their chief disciple.

The source of this was Sect Master Polestar. This cold master was usually very busy and needed to cultivate. He would only teach the chief disciples the scriptures once every ten days, and from time to time, he would guzzle it due to almost all the reasons.

They couldn’t even think about asking personal questions. If anyone encountered any difficult questions during their cultivation, the chief disciple could only answer them.

In order to ensure that the chief disciple had this ability, Sect Master Polestar would take time out alone to give him special treatment and personally answer his questions.

The ‘Nine Heavens Clarity Entering Enlightenment Mantra’ was an immortal’s true magic. It was famous for being obscure and difficult to understand. It was not an exaggeration to say that every word has a hidden meaning. The effect of Sect Master Polestar answering the questions personally and the chief disciple answering the questions was definitely far inferior.

Being able to become the Head Chief meant that he could obtain the guidance from Sect Master Polestar. His understanding and comprehension of the Clarity Truth Mantra would be even more perfect, and the quality of the core he formed in the future would naturally be higher.

Without mentioning anything else, the successive great chief disciples’ cores were all grade-three or higher. As for the personal disciples of non chief disciples, the worst among them was said to be at the fifth-grade. There were also many fourth-grade disciples in each batch.

It could be seen that the benefits behind this chief disciple position were too great, and everyone had no choice but to compete.

Song He said, “Two people are not allowed to walk together, so we can only compete with our best.” His meaning was simple: He had to be unscrupulous in his attacks against Qiu Changtian!

“The Enlightened Dao Heart has too many implications,” Qiu Yuan said with a serious expression. “I don’t know how many pairs of eyes in Kunlun are watching us. It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens on flat groundI if we want to eliminate him secretly and not let anyone suspect us.”

“Don’t forget that even if he goes out to train, Master will give him the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword to protect himself!”

“We won’t directly attack.” Zhao Wencheng narrowed his eyes. “The Enlightened Dao Heart, how can such a rare talent not be envied? Why not get someone else to kill for

Us…”

“Can you completely clear the slate by using someone else?” Song He sighed faintly.

“Even if we don’t do anything, Qiu Changtian could die from choking on water halfway through his cultivation. He might fall to his death while walking and might be assassinated by the spy of the fiend sects… If we consider from the perspective of whoever benefits, the suspect will be me, right?”

The two junior brothers were speechless.

“The key is the evidence.” Song He shook his head. “As long as he dies, all the stakeholders will be suspected.”

“But our Kunlun is a righteous sect! When we do things, we need to pay attention to evidence and convince people. It’s impossible for us to be like the devil sects and capture people to extract their souls and read their hearts because of suspicion.”

He patted his head and decided. “You can do it as long as you do it cleanly!”

Zhao Wencheng and Qiu Yuan hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

Song He was the chief disciple of their generation. Although the two of them were disciples of Sect Master Polestar, they did not have the qualifications to listen to the scriptures. They could only wait for Song He to finish listening before he gave the lecture and answer everyone’s questions.

Their personal interests had long been tied to Song He.

“In that case, how do you plan to do it, Senior Brother?” Qiu Yuan analyzed carefully. “Qiu Changtian doesn’t leave the Golden Ridge Cave Abode most of the time. It’s rare for him to leave Kunlun to go out and train. He also has the Sect Master bestowed the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword to protect him. Even if we don’t consider concealment, we don’t have many chances to attack.”

“That’s simple.” Zhao Wencheng suddenly had a plan. “Actually, there’s a place that Qiu Changtian will definitely go to in the future, and it’s impossible for him to bring the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword.”

“You mean…” Song He pondered for a moment before narrowing his eyes.

“East Sea Li Palace?”

While the three of them were discussing their plan in the secret chamber, Qiu Changtian had already handed the spirit stone to the Kunlun Mirror and sent it to where Ling Yunpo was.

“I didn’t expect that excluding that devil cultivator, the sect would actually reward so many spirit stones,” he said with a sigh.

“Is it a lot?” The Kunlun Mirror asked curiously. “Every time I teleport you to the archive, the spiritual energy consumption is tens of thousands of times greater than these spirit stones.”

“That’s different,” Qiu Changtian said casually. “You’re a Connate Spirit Treasure, you’re considered a wealthy woman in the magic treasure world with the amount of your Spirit Qi. Don’t compete with me.”
