Chapter 212: Five Years After the Civil War
"What!" Wen Zhi was shocked after hearing this.
Meng Bai said again: "Shangguan Duanmu and Mu Fengyu are already dead. Elder Wen, you are now the most prestigious elder in Xiaoyao Sect. Xiaoyao Sect needs you to take charge of the overall situation."
Wen Zhi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
He sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that after fighting for so long, the two of them would end up like this."
"Elder Meng, please wait for me for a moment."
Wen Zhi walked into the hall, and after a while, Wen Zhi walked out of the hall with several neutral elders.
Wen Zhi nodded to Meng Bai and said, "Let's go!"
After a while, everyone arrived in the sky.
Wen Zhi used his magic power to shout, "Shangguan Duanmu and Mu Fengyu are dead, everyone stop!"
His voice spread throughout the Xiaoyao Sect.
After hearing this, the elders from the two factions stopped fighting and looked at Wen Zhi.
An elder from the sect leader's faction said, "It's impossible. How could the sect leader die? Wen Zhi, don't talk nonsense!"
Wen Zhi took out the two corpses he had brought from the cave earlier and shouted coldly: "The bodies of the sect master and the great elder are here, who still has any questions!"
Most of the elders from both factions gradually lost their fighting spirit after seeing the bodies of Shangguan Duanmu and the great elder.
Wen Zhi saw this and took the opportunity to say, "From now on, if there are still elders who harm fellow disciples in Xiaoyao Sect, I, Wen Zhi, will be the first to kill him!"
"In one hour, please have a meeting in the meeting hall!"
......
The meeting hall.
The elders from the inner and outer gates entered the hall in twos and threes.
Compared with the past, the number of elders has decreased significantly.
Wen Zhi said coldly in the center of the hall: "Everyone, the civil strife in Xiaoyao Sect broke out suddenly, but fortunately it has ended now."
"Except for the Sect Master and the Great Elder, my qualifications and cultivation are the highest among those present, so I would like to recommend myself to serve as the temporary Sect Master of Xiaoyao Sect."
"If there are elders who are dissatisfied, they can leave Xiaoyao Sect today. I will never stop them."
Then Wen Zhi talked about the reconstruction of Xiaoyao Sect.
Two hours later, Wen Zhi let everyone leave and heal the damage caused by the civil strife.
The internal strife within the Xiaoyao Sect has been temporarily quelled!
After Meng Bai left the meeting hall, he went to look for Su Xuan.
After seeing that she was with Su Changyi and was not affected by the civil strife, Meng Bai returned to the cave with peace of mind.
A few days later, Meng Bai went to the outer sect lecture hall to give a lecture and found that the sect had become much quieter.
Even the lecture halls that were usually packed with people were now much emptier.
Meng Bai sighed slightly: "It seems that Xiaoyao Sect will need to recuperate for many years before it can recover."
"But let Sect Master Wen take care of these things. I will continue to be a good outer sect elder."
Meng Bai had just finished teaching in the lecture hall and returned to the cave entrance to find Wen Zhi waiting for him.
Meng Bai smiled and said, "Master Wen, how come you, a busy man, have time to come and see me!"
Meng Bai knew that Xiaoyao Sect was in a state of disrepair and that Wen Zhi, the acting sect leader, had been extremely busy these days.
Wen Zhi shook his head helplessly.
"It doesn't look like it's that easy to be the sect leader."
"Now I am a little envious of you, Elder Meng, for being free and worry-free."
Then Wen Zhi said, "Today I came here specifically to see you, Elder Meng."
"Elder Meng, are you willing to be promoted to the inner sect and serve as the chief elder of the inner sect?"
Meng Bai shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"Master Wen, I still say the same thing. The outer sect is good, but forget about going to the inner sect."
Wen Zhi smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Forget it. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."
Meng Bai knew why Wen Zhi invited him again.
The civil war had just ended, and many people in the late stage of Huatai of Xiaoyao Sect died in the war.
Now that Xiaoyao Sect's strength has been greatly reduced, Wen Zhi is in urgent need of a powerful elder to stabilize people's hearts and intimidate surrounding sects.
So Meng Bai said, "Master Wen, although I will not serve as an inner sect elder, if the sect encounters a powerful opponent in the future, you can come to me."
"I will help Sect Master Wen defeat the powerful enemy."
Wen Zhi smiled happily after hearing this.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Regarding the deaths of Sect Leader Shangguan Duanmu and Great Elder Mu Fengyu, although Wen Zhi announced to the public that the two died together.
But Wen Zhi had some vague guesses in his mind that Meng Bai was also involved.
Meng Bai's strength might even be above his.
......
After Xiaoyao Sect returned to peace, Meng Bai also returned to his normal life.
In addition to giving lectures in the classroom and teaching Su Xuan swordsmanship, he would practice in the cave. Of course, every few years he would go to the city to eat some delicious food and relax.
Just like that, fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Meng Bai’s cultivation has also reached the fifth level of Transformation.
During these fifty years, Xiaoyao Sect has also undergone great changes.
After fifty years of recuperation, Xiaoyao Sect has produced many cultivators in the late stage of Huatai, and its overall strength is close to that of the past.
Wen Zhi also broke through the peak of the fetal transformation stage and advanced to the trance state.
After Wen Zhi became a trance-level cultivator, he officially became the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. At the same time, because Wen Zhi was promoted to the trance-level realm, the status of the Xiaoyao Sect also greatly increased.
In recent years, Wen Zhi has begun planning for the fifth-level spiritual vein.
The fourth-level spiritual vein of Xiaoyao Sect is no longer sufficient to support Wen Zhi's cultivation.
One day, Meng Bai was practicing in the cave when Chu Lingsu's voice came from outside the cave.
"Is Elder Meng in the mansion?"
Meng Bai woke up slowly and opened the door to the cave.
"Long time no see, Elder Chu."
Looking at Chu Lingsu's cultivation at the peak of the Void Realm, Meng Bai smiled calmly: "It seems that Elder Chu will soon be promoted to the Fetal Realm. Congratulations."
Chu Lingsu shook her head slightly: "I can't compare to you, Elder Meng!"
"It's rare for Elder Chu to come to Meng's cave, please take a seat!"
After Chu Lingsu entered the cave, Meng Bai brewed a pot of spiritual tea and poured a cup for himself and Chu Lingsu respectively.
While drinking the spiritual tea, Meng Bai asked, "What does Elder Chu want to see me about today?"
Chu Lingsu said: "In a few days, the various immortal sects in the Jiuyang Realm will gather together."
"By then, each immortal sect will send its disciples to compete. I will inform Elder Meng in advance that Su Xuan will also go."
Meng Bai was slightly stunned: "Su Xuan has already entered the void, can he still participate in the competition between disciples?"
According to the tradition of Xiaoyao Sect, those who are at the Qi Condensation Realm are outer disciples, those who are at the Condensation Realm can become inner disciples after passing the assessment, and inner disciples are automatically promoted to deacons after they reach the stage of Entering the Void.
Of course, if an inner sect deacon wants to become an inner sect elder, he needs to have merits in the sect.
Chu Lingsu smiled slightly: "Elder Meng, this is not a competition within the Xiaoyao Sect. According to the rules of the Jiuyang Sect, anyone below the age of 100 can participate as a disciple."
Meng Bai nodded after hearing this.
"In that case, I will also attend the gathering in Jiuyang Realm this time."
"It's a good opportunity to see Xuan'er's achievements in cultivation over the past few years."
Chu Lingsu: "Elder Meng, it would be great if you could go with us."
"I will report to Master Wen later and add you to the list of people traveling this time."
After talking about the gathering of the Immortal Sect, Chu Lingsu saw that it was still early and began to ask Meng Bai about the way of the sword.
Meng Bai did not refuse and helped Chu Lingsu to explain her doubts about swordsmanship.
It was not until late at night that Chu Lingsu left Meng Bai's cave.
Meng Bai smiled faintly: "It seems that Elder Chu is not far from comprehending the sword heart!"
