Xiao Yingjin was considered the most standard direct descendant of the Blue Star Sect.
Although the Blue Star Sect had no clearly defined family factions, in truth, many among the upper ranks bore the surname Xiao.
From Star-Plucking Venerable of old to Sect Master Xiao Yuandao, one could see that the Xiao surname wielded no small influence within the Blue Star Sect.
"Now we should be congratulating Sect Master Xiao. You can now be said to command the entire Blue Star Sect!" Chu Yanqing clasped her hands as she spoke, a smile on her face.
Yet beneath that smile lay nothing but probing intent.
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Luo. So long as Martial Uncle Fuyuan lives, the Blue Star Sect is not mine to command. After all, we still have no evidence proving that he colluded with a demon sect like the Heavenly Sea Sect." Xiao Yingjin sighed.
His words appeared self-deprecating, but in truth, he was still trying to excuse Venerable Fuyuan.
The people from Divine Source Valley had likely said the same.
Together with the Soul-Questioning, it had indeed allowed the Blue Star Sect to escape this round of cleansing.
But the same truth remained: without sufficient strength, even being in the right was useless.
In fact, if not for the Ye Family of Qixuan Valley, Divine Source Valley would have arranged for another force to swallow the Blue Star Sect. It might have been a Spirit Transformation force, or perhaps a Void Refinement force.
After all, Venerable Fuyuan had come from the Heavenly Sea Sect, and the treasures and inheritances of a Void Refinement force still held considerable appeal for ordinary Void Refinement cultivators.
The Ye Family even believed that Divine Source Valley had already internally discussed which Void Refinement cultivator would receive the gains from
