Yue Zifeng's Rage

Hearing the voice, Xue Bai instinctually looked around to see if Yue Zifeng was nearby, but before he did, his Master's voice sounded again.

'I'm at my peak right now, Bai'er. So there is no need to look around.'

"Should I bring Xiao'er and Zhu Que as well?" Xue Bai spoke aloud, confusing the two girls.

'No, just you. They aren't needed.' Yue Zifeng clarified.

After those words, he also stopped communicating, seemingly finished with all of his instructions.

Sensing the end of the conversation, Xue Bai also stood up and started to walk out.

"Young Master, where are you going?" Xiao'er asked confusedly. Since it happened in Xue Bai's head, she didn't hear the conversation between Xue Bai and Yue Zifeng, so when he suddenly stood up to leave in the middle of their conversation, she was confused.

On the other hand, Zhu Que guessed what was happening and continued to eat her food.

'Master probably sent Little Brother a voice transmission.' Zhu Que thought as her chopsticks moved into Xue Bai's bowl. He wouldn't stay anymore, so she planned to take advantage of it!

Thanks to her bloodline and unique cultivation method, Zhu Que could refine the meat of demonic beasts and use it to boost both her Qi Cultivation and her Body Tempering cultivation.

Not only that, but it was also much better than using pills to boost her cultivation since most pills had impurities within them, making it more harmful than good to consume a large number of pills, while the meat of demonic beasts didn't.

This did come at a slight cost, however, as Zhu Que had a much larger appetite than even most demonic beasts. She could eat an amount that weighed three times more than her in a day!

Thankfully the food of the Soaring Sword Sect was extremely good, making it easier to eat such an amount.

Because of this, Zhu Que also gained an odd reputation and was often called the Taotie Goddess...

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at such a nickname.

Xue Bai could see his maid's confusion and quickly explained that he was being called before leaving the room.

Xiao'er and Zhu Que bid him farewell before they started another conversation of their own.

–

"Master, Bai'er is here." Xue Bai called out respectfully at the door of Yue Zifeng's temple.

Yue Zifeng also didn't delay and quickly opened the door, allowing Xue Bai entry.

Still confused about Yue Zifeng's purpose in calling him, Xue Bai walked in with a curious heart.

Inside, Yue Zifeng sat on his meditation mat with a table already set up. On the table were two cups of hot tea poured out, while across from Yue Zifeng was another mat for Xue Bai.

Obviously, he was prepared for this meeting to be a long one.

Motioning for Xue Bai to take a seat, Yue Zifeng spoke, "Sit down, Bai'er. We have a decent amount to talk about."

Xue Bai nodded and took a seat but didn't touch the tea yet. However, his master did a big sip at that, almost finishing the cup right from the start.

"Bai'er, do you have something to tell me about the continent?" Yue Zifeng spoke after finishing his sip, "Specifically about the forces within it."

"Huh?" Xue Bai spoke confusedly. The question completely caught him off guard. He was prepared to have a conversation about why he snuck out of the sect, not this ambiguous question.

"I should be more specific, shouldn't I." Yue Zifeng could see the confusion on Xue Bai's face and decided to rephrase his question.

"What do you think about the Wang Clan?" Yue Zifeng meaningfully said, this time attracting Xue Bai's attention.

Instantly Xue Bai knew that Yue Zifeng figured out something about the Wang Clan. However, since Xue Bai didn't know how much, he could only throw out something to fish out how much.

"So you figured out the conflicts between the Wang Clan and my own." Xue Bai sighed, "But don't worry, Master, I won't let that interfere between Wang Yu and me."

However, contrary to how Xue Bai expected Yue ZIfeng to react, he got angry.

"Bai'er, I am your Master." Yue Zifeng spoke with a deep frown, "It isn't right for you to lie to me. Tell me truly about the Wang Clan, and what is wrong with them?"

Hearing such a weighty question, Xue Bai managed to piece together something.

"Master, did you go and speak to my parents while you were gone?" Xue Bai asked.

Yue Zifeng nodded.

"Then you also know what the Wang Clan truly are right." Xue Bai continued.

Yue Zifeng nodded once more.

Xue Bai was exasperated. 'Old man, you're almost 200 years old this year. So why are you playing with my feelings?'

"Don't look at me like that, Bai'er. You're the one who has been lying to me and not telling me such an important thing." Yue Zifeng admonished, seeing Xue Bai's expression, "We, the Soaring Sword Sect, are a righteous faction. How can you not tell me when such a scourge has invaded our Southern Continent?"

"This relates to one of my most important secrets. How can I just tell anyone." Xue Bai rolled his eyes, "If anything, I'm confused about how Mother and Father told you about this?"

The memories he obtained were something that he only told Xue Feng and Li Rou. Even Xiao'er only knew some things about it and not the true details.historical

However, Xue Bai trusted his parents never to tell a soul. So how did Yue Zifeng manage to get it out of them?

"Do I, your master, not deserve to know things like this," Yue Zifeng said irritably.

If he hadn't gone to talk to Xue Feng about Xue Bai's suspicious behavior, he would've been completely out of the loop!

Wang Yu, the most famous and well-known prodigy of the Southern Continent, was a pawn by the damn Blood Saber Sect!

This was something out of a drama, and worst of all. He was the noble master that Wang Yu was scripted to betray and kill!

Who could handle such a thing being hidden from them?

Certainly not Yue Zifeng.

"How much did Mother and Father tell you?" Xue Bai could tell that Yue Zifeng knew a lot from his words and wanted to know just how much before he continued.

"Enough!" Yue Zifeng snapped, "Tell me which of my elders are corrupted so I can kill them myself. Those scum don't deserve to leach from my sect a second longer!"

Yue Zifeng had enough hatred for the Blood Saber Sect to engulf the entire continent. So the fact there were hundreds if not thousands of his once trusted subordinates that had corrupted to their side made Yue Zifeng want to kill each and everyone last of them instantly.

The only thing holding his rage back was the fact that he didn't know who the hell to kill.

Seeing the rage that almost was bubbling off of Yue Zifeng's body, Xue Bai didn't dare to waste a second.

He could see that Yue Zifeng had a blood feud with the Blood Saber Sect and was more than enraged after hearing that his sect had been corrupted to such a degree.

Xue Bai knew that Yue ZIfeng was from the Central Continent and that in the southern region of the Central Continent, it was dominated by the same three sects on the Southern Continent and the Blood Saber Sect.

So it wasn't very hard to guess that Yue Zifeng also had a blood feud with the sect as well.

Going into his spatial ring, Xue Bai pulled out a jade slip. But after thinking for a moment, he pulled out another four more before he started to transcribe who he knew was corrupted by Wang Yu and the Blood Saber Sect's efforts.

Because of his transmigration, Xue Bai's soul was always as strong as someone two realms higher than his own. And after Huli Jing's makeshift method of soul tempering, his soul's strength was almost four realms stronger than his Qi Cultivation.

So while his cultivation base was only in the Bone Strengthening realm, his soul was as strong as someone in the Law Engraving realm.

Because of that, it was more than simple to remember the names of the traitors that backstabbed the Soaring Sword Sect.

However, because of the sheer amount of notable traitors, Xue Bai took almost an hour to write down everyone that was either fully corrupted with no hopes of being saved or was never a Soaring Sword Sect member, to begin with and were spies.

The Soaring Sword Sect was a huge sect that covered hundreds of thousands of miles, and because of this, they had easily over a few million people affiliated with the sect in one way or another.

Of course, not every single person affiliated with the sect had the strength, influence, or potential that made it worthwhile for The Blood Saber Sect to corrupt and win over.

So instead of going to numbers, The Blood Saber Sect decided to go for quality and made sure to corrupt as many influential factions and groups as possible, the Blood Saber Sect did a good job at it.

An hour soon passed, and after giving his long list a thorough double-check, Xue Bai handed the list to the still-smoldering Yue Zifeng.

"A whole ten thousand people! Ha, those demonic bastards sure are greedy!" Yue Zifeng angrily shouted before standing up.

"Bai'er, your Master has something to do." Following his words, Yue Zifeng flew out of the temple.

Xue Bai followed the man out of the temple, curious.

"EVERY SOARING SWORD SECT MEMBER CONVERGE IMMEDIATELY!" Yue Zifeng's rage-filled shout covered the entire sect, "IF EVERY DISCIPLE AND ELDER ISN'T AT THE MAIN HALL WITHIN 30 MINUTES, THAN YOU'RE NO LONGER NEEDED!"

His voice covered every inch of the sect. Every living being living in the tens of thousands of mile-long area that the Soaring Sword Sect covered heard it.

Buildings rumbled while the weak had to cover their ears in pain.

Even Soaring Sword City was affected by the shout. Thankfully the many arrays that protected the buildings stopped them from collapsing to his shout.

Wanted to see how Yue Zifeng chose to go about this scenario, Xue Bai quickly went to his own peak and gathered the girls.

The two rarely did anything other than play around during the day, and after a quick search, he found them. They were sitting by a pond doing god knows what.

"Xiao'er, Zhu Que, quickly come one!" Xue Bai yelled at the two.

Xiao'er and Zhu Que also heard the shout, but since it seemed to be above them, they didn't dare to leave their peak, choosing to let it happen and learn about it later.

However, that didn't mean they weren't curious, so after Xue Bai appeared planning to take them to watch the show, they quickly got up.

"Young Master, are you sure Master won't get angry at us?" Xiao'er cautiously asked as she followed Xue Bai up the stairs of Yue Zifeng's peak toward the teleportation array, "He seemed so angry. What if he takes it out on us?"

"Big Sister Xiao'er, your imagination gets wilder by the day." Zhu Que couldn't help but say, "Master is obviously angry at something else. That's why he is calling the meeting. Most likely, Little Brother told him something extremely vital, and Master is planning to do it now during the meeting. Am I right?"

"You're too smart, Zhu Que," Xue Bai praised, "But stop thinking too much. Just watch the show unfold. It'll be much better to see it than to hypothesize it.

Zhu Que nodded and stopped thinking before continuing to follow Xue Bai.

Following a quick teleport, the trio made it to the Main Hall, where the show was just picking up.
