Qingyun Demon-Quelling True Lord? Lu Xueqi's Suspicion!

At this moment.

Whether it was the Righteous and Demonic Paths.

Or the many rogue cultivators of the Cultivation World.

Almost everyone was discussing the information on the Heavenly Curtain.

After all—

That series of evaluations was simply too absurd.

Some believed it to be true; others dismissed it as fake.

But, Regardless.

The Qingyun Sect had now become the most eye-catching place in the entire Vast Divine Continent.

"Boom!"

At the same time.

The image on the Heavenly Curtain flickered slightly.

A figure in green robes slowly turned around. His features remained obscured by a hazy mist, his stature imposing, black hair draped over his shoulders, with the Qingyun Sect Leader's token—the Seven Star Sword—slung at his waist!

"Swish!"

His face was hidden behind the hazy mist.

Only a pair of intimidating eyes flickered slightly, and a terrifying sword intent swept forth, covering the sky and earth. Anyone who met his gaze felt their heart tighten, as if they were being stared down by a peerless divine sword.

Is this the pressure of the Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven?!

At this moment.

The same thought surfaced in everyone's mind.

Even through the Heavenly Curtain?

This existence, known as the Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven, still brought them a sense of terrifying oppression!

"Hum, hum, hum—"

The figure in green robes on the Heavenly Curtain stood tall within the Yuqing Hall.

His body was surrounded by faint Taiji Pure Energy, and a profound Taiji Diagram rose into the air. This was the manifestation of having cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to its peak!

"This is... the Supreme Purity Realm?!"

The various Peak Masters of the Qingyun Sect widened their eyes.

As leaders of their respective branches, they were naturally familiar with their sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Right now, the aura displayed by the figure in green robes within the Heavenly Curtain was undoubtedly that of the true Supreme Purity Realm.

True Lord Daoxuan's eyes flickered slightly. As the second master in the thousand-year history of the Qingyun Sect to reach the Supreme Purity Realm, he understood the profound mysteries of that level very well. After witnessing the figure in green robes on the Heavenly Curtain, a judgment immediately surged in his heart—

The other party was definitely not as simple as just being in the Supreme Purity Realm!

After all, he himself was in the Supreme Purity Realm, yet he possessed nothing like the aura the other party exuded.

Could it be... that the next Sect Leader of our Qingyun Sect has already surpassed the Supreme Purity Realm?!

True Lord Daoxuan drew a sharp breath.

At this moment, everyone was curious. Who exactly was the next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect?

"BOOM—"

At this very moment, the text on the Heavenly Curtain slowly began to change. The previous evaluations gradually dissipated, replaced by new ones.

[He—]

[Known as the 'True Lord Qingyun Who Pacifies Demons'!]

He once held a celestial sword and used iron-fisted methods to forcefully annihilate the Blood Refining Hall, the Longevity Hall, and the Myriad Poisons Sect. With his own strength, he shattered the demonic cult's plans for prosperity and ruined the Ghost King Sect's Hundred-Year Plan. Even the Joyous Union Sect voluntarily disbanded its forces because of his existence...

His existence.

Laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qingyun Sect.

He single-handedly ushered in an era that belonged exclusively to the Qingyun Sect.

The evaluation slowly emerged on the Heavenly Curtain.

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes widened.

True Lord Qingyun Who Pacifies Demons?!

This...

The Masters of the Seven Peaks were dumbfounded.

He single-handedly annihilated the demonic cult? Is this really something the next Sect Leader of our Qingyun Sect has done?

At this moment.

True Lord Daoxuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

He immediately issued an order: "Junior brothers and sisters, return at once and investigate your disciples. You must find this 'True Lord Who Pacifies Demons' of our Qingyun Sect!!"

At first.

True Lord Daoxuan had been somewhat wary.

Since the next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect was not Xiao Yicai?

Then it was highly likely to be a disciple from one of the other peaks!

He had originally been wondering how to keep the position of Sect Leader within the Heaven-Reaching Peak lineage, but right now...

The title 'True Lord Who Pacifies Demons' had even appeared!

To hell with keeping the position!

The future prosperity of the Qingyun Sect depends on the next Sect Leader!

Compared to the position of Sect Leader for the Heaven-Reaching Peak lineage.

True Lord Daoxuan cared far more about the prosperity of the Qingyun Sect!

After all, This is the true big picture!

Hearing this, the various Peak Masters immediately replied earnestly, "Yes, Sect Leader Brother!"

They had all likely guessed True Lord Daoxuan's intentions.

Since the next Sect Leader would not be Xiao Yicai, then it was highly probable that it would be a disciple from one of the other branches!

Perhaps it would be some "hidden gem" of a genius from under their own tutelage?

The other Peak Masters were all quite serious.

Only Tian Buyi did not seem very interested.

After all, he only had a few disciples under his wing.

Furthermore, their talents were nothing to write home about. Only Ye Changfeng, who had reached the Fourth Layer of Yuqing in five years, could be considered a minor genius...

As for the others?

Don't make me laugh!

A bunch of misfits and deadwood!

"Sigh."

Tian Buyi let out a sigh.

He only felt that life was somewhat hopeless.

When would Great Bamboo Peak ever flourish?

The latest evaluation on the Heavenly Curtain shocked many people.

Disciples throughout the entire Qingyun Sect were discussing this matter.

After all, the title of "Pacifying Demon True Lord" was simply too domineering!

"Hiss!"

"The next Sect Leader of our Qingyun Sect wiped out the entire Demon Sect?"

"Heavens!"

"This is something not even the past Sect Leaders could accomplish!"

"Who exactly is the next Sect Leader?"

"Does that even need asking?"

"It must be Senior Brother Xiao Yicai!"

The disciples of Heaven-Reaching Peak were exceptionally proud. After all, the information on the Heavenly Curtain had stated that their Senior Brother, Xiao Yicai, would end the Demon Sect in the future.

This was an unprecedented honor.

It was a feat that over a dozen generations of Qingyun Sect Sect Leaders had failed to achieve.

How could they not be proud?

But, Is the next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect truly Xiao Yicai?

Little Bamboo Peak, Moon Gazing Platform.

A cold and aloof young girl blinked her eyes gently.

Holding the Tianya Divine Sword, she stared blankly at the information on the Heavenly Curtain, clearly shaken by the content...

The Demon Sect was destroyed?

And it was destroyed by the Qingyun Sect's next Sect Leader, Xiao Yicai?

Lu Xueqi pursed her lips slightly.

For some reason.

A doubt suddenly sprouted in her heart.

Is the next Sect Leader really Senior Brother Xiao Yicai? Why does it feel like that might not be the case...

Lu Xueqi had heard the stories about Xiao Yicai.

It was said that this Senior Brother from Heaven-Reaching Peak had been a disciple of True Lord Daoxuan for a hundred years. He was the champion of the previous Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, and his cultivation had long since reached the Peak of Yuqing, earning him the title of the number one person below the Upper Purity Realm!

However—

Xiao Yicai still hadn't broken through to the Upper Purity Realm, had he?

This speed of cultivation... could he really live up to those evaluations on the Heavenly Curtain?

Lu Xueqi was not belittling Xiao Yicai.

She was simply stating the facts.

After all.

She had only been a disciple for about five years.

Yet she had already reached the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity. Although there was still a distance to go before reaching the true peak, the gap between her and Xiao Yicai was certainly not large.

She had reached the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity in five years.

Xiao Yicai had spent a hundred years reaching the Peak of Yuqing.

It seemed that Xiao Yicai was not even as good as she was.

When compared like this.

Xiao Yicai really did seem somewhat unworthy of the series of evaluations on the Heavenly Curtain.

Could it be—

That the next Sect Leader was someone else?

The cold, aloof young girl blinked her eyes gently. Her clear, crystalline pupils flickered slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity in their depths, unaware that...

The gossip was about to land on her own head.
