Chapter 103: Destroying the General

  The incredible expression on Bao's chubby face almost made Sun Ming, who was pretending to be serious, burst out laughing, but he still maintained a calm and composed demeanor, nodding slightly in response.

  "Not bad, I am indeed the Ming Xin Shang Ren of the Qi Ling Zong, and you, a junior, have such an unrefined technique, yet you are here teaching disciples. When did our Qi Ling Zong decline to the point where someone like you is allowed to spread the teachings? " Sun Ming, disguised as Ming Xin Shang Ren, said with slight anger, his tone revealing a sense of disappointment and frustration."

  Lingbao heard this and suddenly felt like a wronged daughter-in-law who had returned to her parents' home, with tears streaming down her face.

  "Senior, don't blame Master anymore, there are really not many people left in our Qilinglei Sect."

  Lu Ling's expression changed from one of joy at another's misfortune to a sympathetic gaze at Ling Bao.

  "What's going on? Our Qiling Sect is the number one sect in the Xiantian Realm, and yet your disciples have fallen to this state?" Sun Ming's tone was somewhat sarcastic. After all, in his heart, Qiling Sect was the place that had taken him in when he had nowhere else to go, and it was also where he had met his master, Yun Zhongzi. Therefore, Qiling Sect still held a very important position in Sun Ming's heart.

  "It's all over, everything is gone, our sect is now destroyed, destroyed! Elder." Although he had just vaguely heard some facts, Sun Ming still hoped in his heart that it wasn't true, but Ling Bao's words completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

  "What exactly happened?" Sun Ming looked at Lingbao who had already collapsed mentally, although he was somewhat reluctant to ask.

  "That year, we were doing our morning exercises as usual when suddenly a wave of pressure came from the sky. The kind of pressure that I still can't describe to this day, it was like the heavens themselves were pressing down on us. In the face of that pressure, not one of my fellow disciples had any intention of resisting."

  "After that, we didn't know what happened next. Later on, our seniors in the sect had us low-ranking disciples transmit the sect's secret treasure through the sect's secret method." Lingbao's words made Sun Ming's mood even heavier. He knew about this thing - it was something left behind by their ancestor when he ascended to the immortal realm after the sect was first established. Its purpose was to prevent the destruction of the sect, and in such a situation, to leave some sparks for the sect. The fact that they had used this thing showed just how precarious the sect's situation had become at that time."

  "There should be many people who escaped, why are you the only one here?" Sun Ming looked at Lingbao's face as pale as death, seemingly without even tears of grief, and sighed.

  And then heard this sentence Lingbao. As if once again found a place to vent emotions. Tears again pattered out."

  "You're the one who's talking." Sun Ming said with a hint of exasperation as he looked at Lingbao who was crying there.

  "Don't blame your master, senior. Master's fellow disciples all died in the pursuit." Luo Ling said angrily to Sun Ming beside her.

  "Luo Ling, you can't be rude. Since Ming Xin is our sect's senior and your senior as well, you should at least call him Shifu (Master Uncle). You're being disrespectful. Do you want to make your master abandon your cultivation?" Ling Bao stopped crying and scolded Luo Ling sternly. After all, respecting one's master and the Tao was a compulsory course for sect members. Even under the premise that the sect had been destroyed, Ling Bao still remembered it. He couldn't help but notice that there was something unusual in Sun Ming's eyes.

  "Elder Sun, many of our fellow disciples died in the pursuit by the Qixiu Alliance and the Holy Alliance. Later, we found that the more we were together, the greater the losses when encountering pursuit. In the end, we dispersed and went our separate ways. I escaped to this planet, Nan Hua Xing, where I took in Luo Ling as a disciple. As for the other brothers, whether they are alive or dead, I do not know. However, we all vowed to pass on the incense of Qiling Sect."

  Yes. People can be killed. Yuan infants can be refined. Sects can be destroyed. But this spirit is indeed forever impossible to destroy. Because in this world, one of the greatest spirits is this kind of spirit that does not give up when facing difficulties.

  "Later, I found out that the sect was destroyed and settled down here, pretending to be a fallen alchemist in the first great gate of Nanhuaxing, Huayun Gate, as a full-time alchemist." Lingbao seemed to be talking about something unrelated to himself, but the tone revealed a silence, a desolation that made Sunming's heart ache.

  Watching close brothers and sisters leave one by one, yet being unable to stop it, the bitterness in my heart cannot be clearly expressed in just a few words.

  "What's going on here? Why is the Holy Alliance destroying our Qiāo Líng Zōng?" Sun Ming, disguised as Míng Xīn Zhēnrén, asked with a look of anguish, although he knew the cause and effect of this matter, but still wanted to hear what the Holy Alliance had planned for his sect.

  Crime name

  "They say we collude with the Wu tribe, they say we collude with the Wu tribe." Ling Bao gritted his teeth and said.

  "Wu Zu? What a joke! We've never even heard of this name before. The Holy Alliance destroyed our Qi Ling Zong and searched every inch of our sect, but they couldn't find any evidence of us colluding with the Wu Zu." Lin Bao's words were filled with endless sorrow and resentment, as if it was an indictment.

  "Now the entire cultivation world is circulating a rumor, saying that the Holy Alliance is afraid of being blamed by the Immortal Realm because their messenger died in the Cultivation Realm, so they used the Artifact Refining Union as a scapegoat."

  "Even so, the Holy Alliance wouldn't stoop to the shameful act of hunting down a lowly disciple like that." Sun Ming asked doubtfully, after all, he had interacted with Ling Xiao and his father for some time and understood how the Holy Alliance operated, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

  "The pursuit of our actions was originally not thought to be participated by the Holy Alliance, but it is said that after being instigated by Lan Xian Zhenren of the Qierxiu Union, this incident occurred." Sun Ming heard endless hatred in Lingbao's tone.

  "It's the Qi Xiu Alliance again. Hmph, since I've escaped, your good days are over." Sun Ming's words suddenly lifted the spirits of Ling Bao, who had been in a state of depression.

  "Senior, you must avenge our sect's deceased masters and my fellow disciples!" Lingbao grasped onto Sunming, who was disguised as Mingxin Zhenren, with the same desperation of a drowning person clinging to a tree branch, placing all his endless hopes on him. The pleading gaze made Sunming's scalp feel numb.

  "This matter still needs to be planned for the long term, I was ambushed by someone and my cultivation has fallen to the point of collapse, now it's fundamentally impossible for me to take revenge." Sun Ming's words were like a heavy blow that struck Ling Bao's body, his eyes which had just shone with a bit of light instantly became dull and lifeless.

  "You child, how can you be so shortsighted and not know what it means to plan for the long term? Although my cultivation is only at the Out-of-Body period, I am indeed the one with the highest spiritual knowledge. As long as I'm here, cultivating a few, dozens, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of top-grade Grandmaster-level artifact refiners is just a matter of time." Sun Ming's words left Lingbao somewhat skeptical.

  "A nobleman avenges himself after ten years, it's not late. We are cultivators, we want to avenge ourselves, even if it takes one hundred or two hundred years, it's not late. When the time comes, as long as our Qilingshan Sect can restore the prosperity of those years, and even surpass it, avenging ourselves will be just an ordinary matter." Sun Ming continued to say.

  "Right, Master. We can quietly develop our strength, and when we reach a certain level, it won't be a pipe dream to confront the Equipment Repair Union." Luo Ling seemed to have thought of something, jumped up three feet high, and said with a smile.

  "It's not easy to talk about, now the Instrument Repair Alliance controls the entire spiritual world's instrument trading, even the top ten sects have to follow their lead. If it weren't for the fact that instrument repair and pill refinement can't participate in the sect's ranking tournament, they would probably already be among the top ten sects." Lingbao's words carried a hint of despair, making Luo Ling, who was originally full of vitality, also look somewhat disheartened.

  "Lingbao, how can you be worse than your own disciple? Saying such disheartening words, I really doubt what kind of teaching your master gave you."

  "Our Ancestor Master of the Qingyun Sect was also a nobody when he first founded the sect, but we are much better off than they were back then. At least you have me to guide you, so there's no need to be disheartened."

  "Unfortunately, my senior Lingming has gone missing. If he were here, it would be great. You don't know, Senior, that my senior brother, Lingming, is the number one genius of our Qiling Sect over the years. He completed the Seven Stars Refining Master assessment in the Golden Elixir stage, but unfortunately, he's gone missing." Linbao's words were filled with endless melancholy and nostalgia.

  "Master, didn't Lingming Shushu die in the siege of the Holy Alliance? How did he go missing?" Luo Ling interrupted, inserting herself into the conversation where Lingbao was lost in thought about Sun Ming.

  "What's going on, are you little girl going to let Master fix it again? Since Lingming Shifu was able to reach such heights in alchemy at the Golden Elixir stage, how could he have died without a reason? I think Lingming Shixiong must have escaped and is hiding somewhere, cultivating quietly, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the Alchemist's Union." As if mentioning Sun Minglingbao's eyes revealed endless longing and hope.

  "Master, I know you admire Lingming Shibo as a role model, but with so many scattered immortals attacking him directly, and Lingming Shibo only having Yuanying stage cultivation, do you think he can hold out?" Luo Ling was being stubborn again and started arguing with her master.

  "Don't you know there's something called a miracle?" Lingbao said with equal stubbornness.

  。。。

  Your senior brother Ling Ming, your senior uncle Ling Ming is right in front of you. Sun Ming looked at these two quarreling master and apprentice, suddenly feeling warmth in his heart, after all, being able to have such fellow disciples is also a kind of happiness.
