Chapter 1275: Chapter 969: Adapting to Changing Circumstances
"Heh!" The Great Protector let out a cold laugh, withdrawing his divine sense from the Merit Token.
He punched the stone table, and the fine golden jade stone crumbled with a crash. He carefully examined his bulging muscles and the powerful fists and arms, curling his lip in disdain, "That guy named Qi, just wait for my brother-in-law to deal with you!"
He stood up, nearly three meters tall, with a broad back and a sturdy figure like a wall, and transmitted himself from his own cave to his sister’s. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Sister, someone’s bullying me, are you going to deal with it?"
Then he was blocked by a barrier in the hallway leading to the inner chamber.
It’s already noon, and that old guy is still pestering his sister endlessly! He couldn’t help but roll his eyes, patiently explaining the earlier dispute briefly, then blew on the communication butterfly in his hand and let it flutter into the depths of the cave.
Moments later, the communication butterfly fluttered back, dispersing into a cloud of spiritual energy, and he heard his sister’s sweet and lazy voice, "Is it that big of a deal? Isn’t it just a few people dead?
People die every day in this world, what’s the big deal about it.
Your brother-in-law has already issued orders, and the matter is entirely your responsibility. No matter how much that guy named Qi hops around, he’s just a clown. In the Leisure Sect of the Wilderness World, your brother-in-law’s words are like decree. If he’s not obedient, just deal with him according to the Sect’s rules!"
"I’m responsible? Then have brother-in-law muster up 300,000 troops for me, and I’ll see who dares to sabotage our own people in the Holy Land." He responded smugly, "And while we’re at it, flatten that Lord’s Mansion of Wuhai for us siblings to strut around as lords!"
The Sixth Elder was lecherous, fascinated by little goblins to the point of being utterly confused, indulging in pleasures night and day, but his brain wasn’t yet broken.
To win a new lover’s smile, allowing her brother to be titled as a Great Protector for a thrill was fine, but truly mobilizing 300,000 disciples to publicly commit violence would cost him his head once the Sect Leader found out the next day!
Upon hearing this, he immediately retracted the order and entrusted Qi Baijun with full responsibility for handling the matter.
While coaxing the little beauty, the Sixth Elder was also contemplating that in a few days, when her novelty wears off, it’s time to change his taste again. By then, whatever Great Protector it might be, giving that fool a titular Incense Master wouldn’t be out of sentimentality.
Just after receiving the Sixth Elder’s order, Qi Baijun was rolling his eyes, and the next moment, the decision changed again.
Considering the Holy Land’s safety and the death of the most important Array Master Ugly Slave, handling the situation more frivolously than changing decisions as often as one changes clothes was ludicrous!
It made his head buzz with anger!
On second thought, which upright person with a firm and proper Daoxin would easily fall into becoming an Evil Cultivator?
If they had any ability, they would have achieved something on the righteous path of Cultivation Immortality. Besides a few exceptional evil cultivators including himself, most of those who fell due to a little temptation were a rabble without bottom line or morals.
Counting on this group to accomplish big things? Qi Baijun thought his brain must be waterlogged.
Were it not for the Sect Leader holding the array’s lifeline and prohibiting mutual killings, the Leisure Sect would be a heap of loose sand.
Now, relying on the crucial core of advancement between realms, it barely held together in unity, but incidents of collusion internally and externally to harm fellow members continued to emerge. Essentially, the Leisure Sect wasn’t much better than other evil cultivator organizations.
The members it attracted were basically the low-quality groups discarded by Righteous Cultivators, with lecherous and greedy people too numerous to count.
Looking at the Sixth Elder’s manner, he probably wasn’t considered a strong pillar even in the Sect Leader’s eyes, naturally rendering the Wilderness World branch unused effectively.
"Whew! No anger, no rush, the Sixth Elder is still lost in the throes of love, why should I try so hard?" Qi Baijun consoled himself, "Why not seize the time to conserve essence, and while the Leisure Sect is at its peak, grab the tangible benefits?"
Previously, he really fantasized about making the Leisure Sect bigger and stronger, just like the Sect Leader said, to become the strongest Sect and create an Evil God Celestial Kingdom through Ascension of the Evil God.
Now after being punched by reality, Qi Baijun finally faced the truth – relying on the evil cultivators is just like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!
Today, the Sixth Elder encounters a little demoness and, in a moment of foolishness, appoints her brother as a Great Protector; tomorrow, when he encounters another little goblin, his mind clouded by lust, who knows who he’ll appoint for significant responsibilities.
"From this, it seems the Sect Leader isn’t particularly wise either, letting a lascivious glutton be in charge of the entire Wilderness World... or perhaps, he has no regard for this world which is already beginning to fall." He sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of powerlessness, like being unable to put his hands on the Merit Token.
No wonder righteous cultivators look down on evil cultivators, it indeed stems from weak character leading to too many profound defects from the core, inherently selfish and unable to truly fight shoulder to shoulder.
Just like now, realizing that the highest authority of the Leisure Sect in the Wilderness World was beyond saving, he immediately thought of strengthening himself individually and Ascension.
The more Qi Baijun thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, abandoning the thought of taking off with those fools.
He issued an order to activate a new Holy Land for disciples’ Tribulation Crossing five days later, with specific time and location to be announced. Then he sent a message to Yang Sansi, ordering him to be ready and arrive at the top cliff two days before the Wilderness descent, where an Immortal Ship would go for pickup.
He planned to first clear up how Yang Sansi and his over a hundred subordinates almost got wiped out; if they didn’t confess honestly, Soul Searching would be employed to extract key information; then proceed to Immortal Peak to trace back with magical treasures to see what exactly transpired.
As for Yang Sansi’s message reported through Banner Master levels saying there was a traitor in the Leisure Sect, Qi Baijun didn’t care, what traitor, merely the disgraceful bunch biting each other.
Even with various constraints, a dog can’t change its nature to eat shit!
