Disband the Azure Cloud Sect!

Beihai, Illusory Moon Cave Abode.

The true disciples knelt obediently on both sides, while Shion sat quietly at the front, holding the intelligence that she had Bingtang collect during this period.

As she sat there, Shion would occasionally shift her body uncomfortably and touch her neck.

It looks like there's something on my neck.

The disciples looked at Lord Bingtang Bingtang, who was holding a coffee cup and whose gaze was wandering over the fair neck of Shion Master Zi Yuan, but she did not panic.

Previously, while Keke was using the sect leader's body to take a bath, several of them secretly left some marks on the sect leader's neck. After all, the sect leader's neck was indeed very tempting, making people want to take a bite.

Then the sect leader suddenly returned, but he got a beating.

Then, the sect leader gave them a very serious warning. "All of you, stay away from Keke."

Although it seems the sect leader has misunderstood something—if the explanation isn't directed at Keke but rather discovered as disrespect towards the sect leader, the situation might worsen, so everyone can only pretend to be clueless.

Now that they've returned, the sect leader still seems angry, and no one dares to speak. They just sit quietly, carefully observing the sect leader's expression. Only Bingtang remains calm and composed, occasionally adding water and pouring tea for the sect leader.

She was the one the sect leader scolded the most before.

As the managers of the true lineage, they should have restrained the true lineage from acting recklessly.

As a result, this time he not only allowed his disciples to misbehave towards Keke, but he himself also became very close to Keke.

The sect leader was naturally quite dissatisfied with Lord Bingtang.

But to be honest, even though he was dissatisfied, the sect leader didn't actually say anything harsh.

When they came out of the bathhouse, Bingtang stayed close to the sect leader, wiping away the water stains, helping her get dressed, and fixing her hair. Even when she was scolded, she just cheerfully said, "I was wrong, please forgive me."

Anyway, the sect leader never really had a good way to deal with Lady Bingtang Tang. As long as Bingtang begged for mercy in a soft and sweet voice and pitifully admitted her mistakes, the sect leader would be unable to say anything more and could only remain silent.

While there's nothing that can be done about Bingtang, there are ways to deal with these true disciples.

The group of people had just come out of the bathhouse; they were still wet, and their hair was even damp.

In reality, if they wanted to, the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect could naturally dry each other with magic at any time.

Anyway, it's that old story of "a beautiful woman adding fragrance to one's sleeves" again, right? They're all acting all intimate right next to each other like nothing's happened.

However, Blue Flower and Yumo whispered to each other on the way, planning to give the sect leader a wet seduction, so the two of them didn't dry off their bodies the whole way.

Although the sect leader didn't even glance at them, the two of them were having a great time fiddling with each other's wet clothes, trying to make them see through.

Although Four Leaves Six Leaves didn't know what the two were doing, they found it fun and started imitating them.

Halfway through, Six Leaves tossed her hair and started sneezing.

The sect leader immediately found an outlet for his anger, and seized upon Blue Flower to give her a thorough dressing-down.

They took the Blue Flower outside for another "special training."

When they returned, Blue Flower was completely collapsed on the ground, having spread a blanket on the floor and lying face down on it.

Yumo poked Qing Hua from the side, and Blue Flower cried out, "Ouch, ouch!"

The sect leader strikes most ruthlessly at times like this; as for injuries, they are completely invisible.

But my whole body aches terribly.

Unfortunately, she passed away the very next day. Before that, everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect jokingly called the sect leader the "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Eight Parts Wandering Dragon Gynecological Master."

After all, once this soreness subsides, not only will one's spiritual level improve, but minor physical ailments will also be cured.

Some people even experienced soreness that disappeared the next day after being hit, and as a result, their menstrual cramps also disappeared.

This is what earned the sect leader the reputation of being a gynecological expert.

Some disciples even privately worshipped the sect leader as the Red Dragon-Slaying Venerable. When they felt unwell, they would open the sect leader's card from the Magical Girl Idol Project, place their phones on it, and then kneel and kowtow three times.

Considering that the way of worshipping the gods is also one of the three thousand great paths of the Azure Cloud ancestors, Bingtang let these little tantrums go.

It is said that the prayers Return to Truth worked.

But for Blue Flower, she doesn't need this treatment. As for advancement, once she reaches the level of a true disciple, even if she gets a good beating from the sect leader, it's difficult to advance. She can only rely on herself to comprehend it in battle.

Therefore, all this aches and pains are just unnecessary aches and pains that you have to endure for a whole day.

Yumo poked at her from the side, and Blue Flower gradually got used to it and stopped making a sound. As if she was sulking, Yumo was not convinced and sat directly on Blue Flower's back, causing this true disciple who had previously misused her body to roll her eyes and faint.

Realizing she might have gone a bit too far, Yumo carefully tried to cover Blue Flower's head with her skirt so no one would see that she had knocked Blue Flower unconscious.

"Yumo."

As a result, Lord Bingtang Tang was always watching them, and they couldn't escape at all.

"Blue Flower was just reprimanded by the sect leader, why are you tormenting her again? If her health really deteriorates, you'll have to take care of her from now on."

Yumo immediately pouted, "I, I was wrong."

She quickly turned around and Bingtang Blue Flower's shoulders, then said, "Hurry up and wipe the water stains clean. Aren't you uncomfortable being all wet? You're not that old, so even if your clothes are close-fitting, it's not a good look."

Blue Flower woke up at this moment and immediately became indignant upon hearing Lord Bingtang's words.

Completely disregarding Lord Bingtang Tang's criticism of Yumo for her sake, she simply said, "I don't think so, Lord Bingtang Tang!"

"Hmph." Blue Flower struggled to turn over again, grabbing Yumo's wrist, then showing Yumo's lower abdomen. "Look at this place, Lord Bingtang, your lower abdomen is pressed against the fabric, revealing a bit of flesh color in the water stains. It's still warm to the touch, and when you rub it, you can't even tell if it's clothing or skin. It's absolutely irresistible—"

Yumo blushed at her words, but her eyes flickered and she didn't look away.

Bingtang just sighed, "You haven't been beaten into submission yet? If you want the sect leader to touch you, you'll have to go and get beaten up. Give up."

"Just now in the bathhouse, Lord Bingtang, you were the closest and touched the Sect Master's entire body. Of course, it doesn't matter—"

"Don't talk nonsense," Bingtang Tang interrupted her casually. "Keke and I were just helping each other wash up."

"Wow, that sounds really nice."

"It's... it's... despicable..." Yumo whispered, making sarcastic remarks about Lord Bingtang.

In reality, although everyone can get close to the sect leader when entering the bathhouse, it's not difficult to have intimate contact with the sect leader controlled by Keke.

However, when they entered the bath, there was a natural barrier around Bingtang, which allowed Bingtang and Keke to have a private conversation for a while, which improved their relationship considerably.

Yumo was extremely worried outside. Although she could transform into wind and go in, with the Bingtang there, she was afraid she would be Freeze as soon as she entered.

Of course, Bingtang later lifted the restrictions, allowing Keke to mingle with the other disciples and cause mischief in the bathhouse.

"Lying on Keke's lap to sleep, and pretending to be asleep while secretly biting her thigh, Yumo, you have no right to call others despicable."

Upon being pointed out by Bingtang Tang, Yumo blushed deeply and could only pull at her hood to hide her expression, stammering, "I... I'm asleep, Yumo, really asleep!"

"Mingming even pretended to fall in the pool, grabbed Keke's ankle in the water, and kept tickling her feet," Blue Flower immediately added, "And as a result, everyone fell down and swallowed a lot of bathwater!"

"The heart of the Dandelion, the true teachings are known to all! Awwwww!"

Yumo suddenly increased the pressure while massaging Blue Flower's shoulders, causing Blue Flower to scream in pain.

"And Blue Flower and white porcelain." Bingtang Tang continued organizing the documents, handing them to the sect leader as she said, "Don't instill strange knowledge in Keke; the sect is troublesome enough as it is."

"Exactly, exactly!" Xiao Yumo nodded immediately, as if pounding garlic. "You, what are you up to by giving advice to the girls in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau!"

"No, I just taught her how to get those girls who like the sect leader to confess their feelings, and then have the sect leader harshly reject them!" Blue Flower laughed sinisterly. "Hahaha, how could I possibly do anything that would harm the interests of our Azure Cloud Sect? Those vixens from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, they must all be expelled without exception!"

Just as the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were enthusiastically discussing how to counter the magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau...

After seeing a news report, Shion frowned. "This..."

"What's the story behind the report on Jiang Si's romantic relationship with all the true disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect?"

The sheer volume of this official news on the website is undeniably phenomenal.

"Why are you allowing this fake news to affect our Azure Cloud Sect? How are you doing your job?"

The disciples fell silent; the sect leader's words meant the problem was very serious.

Bingtang wasn't particularly flustered, but said apologetically in a gentle voice, "Keke said a little too much during the press conference, and it was exaggerated. I was so busy preparing to find the information you mentioned earlier that I didn't have time to process it. I'm sorry."

Hearing that it was Keke said it, Shion's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she casually closed the webpage. "Oh, Keke, well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

The disciples all breathed a sigh of relief.

Blue Flower couldn't help but look at Lord Bingtang with a hint of admiration.

As expected of Lord Bingtang, she calmly and confidently persuaded the Sect Master to yield.

Six Leaves couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Sect Master, Sect Master, did you see anything fun on your trip to the World Tree?"

Of the several true disciples, only Six Leaves was playful. Having held back for so long, seeing that her sister was no longer stopping her and she finally had a chance to speak, she raised her hand and asked curiously, "Are there immortals in the tree? Are there snakes? Are there Vermilion Birds and Azure Dragons? Are there ginseng fruits? Are there Ruomu? Is there Source of the Colorless and Formless? Is there Immortal King Shroud? Is there Soul Transformation Fruit? Is there someone who knows everything?"

Are there any three types of scum? Is there Qidian?

"Ask too many questions!" Four Leaves patted Six Leaves's head.

Before the sect leader left, he told them that they might encounter some rare and exotic beasts on this trip to the World Tree, and he would bring them back for them to play with.

Six Leaves had been preoccupied with this matter and hadn't been able to find an opportunity along the way, so she couldn't wait to ask, "Or is there something else fun?"

Several disciples looked at Jiang Si with curiosity.

Although they often bicker and argue about who is the sect leader's favorite disciple, they are actually quite young and still at an age where they love to play. When they hear that something fun is going to happen, they all quiet down and stare at their sect leader with anticipation and curiosity.

In the past, I always managed to bring back some novel gadgets whenever I went on a long trip.

The true disciples naturally treated things like "World Bubble" and "Chongxu Crowdfunding-type Mental Image Space" as toys and studied them for a long time.

Having visited the Magical Kingdom and the World Tree, there must be even more fun to come.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader simply said, "No."

Six Leaves immediately drooped her head, wrinkled her nose, and her eyes almost welled up with tears. "Oh----"

She snuggled back into her sister's arms, still muttering softly, "How could there not be? The World Tree is so big, there should be something fun to do there—"

Not to mention Liu Ye, both Qing Hua and Yu Mo looked somewhat disappointed, but being older, they hid it well.

Bingtang leaned close to the sect leader's ear, her mind filled with images of intimate moments. However, with so many children around, she couldn't be too blatant. She simply breathed warmly into the sect leader's ear, "Would you like me to comfort you a little?"

Hearing Bingtang's words, Shion's gaze was still on the documents, but she eventually pulled her attention away, put down the documents in her hand, and then patted herself down.

Finally, they found a piece of crystal.

I grabbed a piece when I left Magical Girl Qianye's place.

That thing must have been made by Qianye himself; it's a rather special kind of magical crystal.

"I found this on the World Tree."

Since Qianye isn't human anyway, it's like nobody wants him.

Six Leaves wasn't so easily fooled. She blinked her watery eyes, forcibly swallowing back her grievances and tears. "Is this... is this fun?"

So Shion casually tossed it away, and the crystal expanded slightly.

Within the crystal, a Mental Image space appeared.

It was Keke's Endless Fire Domain.

The other disciples immediately became interested and curiously squatted down to the side. After poking it, they all got burned.

"This thing can fixate on Mental Image. I haven't figured out how to use it yet, you guys can take a look for yourselves."

Having abandoned her identity as a magical girl, Qianye should theoretically have no way of developing such a complete Mental Image.

If one is not a magical girl, even Personal Reality is difficult to solidify, let alone Mental Image. However, as the Corpse Immortal Emperor who pioneered the path of magical girls, she is ultimately different.

I casually sculpted this little gadget that can store my Mental Image.

Six Leaves finally laughed, and then Yumo and Blue Flower also joined in. The disciples played with the crystal while pondering its uses, including how to make it and how to expand its applications.

The Azure Cloud Sect disciples learned the most from her in terms of her way of thinking.

After she had seen off her disciples, Bingtang stood behind her, affectionately massaging her shoulders and back, saying, "Sect Leader, you've worked hard. You always think of your disciples no matter where you go."

Shion silently continued reading all the documents, then asked, "Is that all?"

"Okay, that's all."

When Bingtang heard the sect leader ask about serious matters, she immediately stopped joking and, while rubbing the tender flesh on Shion's shoulder, said, "Most of them are from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's register. For the areas under the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's jurisdiction, I also found some unemployed inner disciples to go with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to take inventory. Speaking of which, Bai Mei's two disciples performed quite well."

"Who?"

"Qian Jing and Shuiling in Jiangming City."

"Who?"

"Oh dear, haven't you met them before? Bai Mei has four disciples in total, including Ruoyun from the Holy Church, who also came from Jiangming."

"Oh."

Shion then vaguely remembered some of them, but these were all ancient characters.

No one could remember that.

Those Azure Cloud disciples who haven't yet reached the Full Bloom are basically not qualified to stand in front of her.

Even just her name was an offense to her, Shion.

Since the Bingtang had spoken up, she couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Anyway, Qian Jing and Shuiling followed the magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to more than ten cities, from Chenming, Zengcheng, and Nanning to Yichang Yingze Yichang the Zhujiang, making extensive corrections to the current roster, and the personnel are basically fine now."

"As for Chongxu, we've already found Su La, Sonora, and Jialan, the magical girls, at Yarrow. Although we haven't found Black Keke, Jialan insists she's dead, Black Keke isn't a magical girl, so she's not in the records and we don't need to look for her."

As she spoke, Bingtang Tang explained, "Regarding the other Old World, although White Fox is no longer a magical girl, there's still a possibility. She's been restrained. The magical girls in the Holy Church have all been accounted for, and the non- Remnants World that we could explore have been counted long ago. We don't know about the remaining Magical Kingdom. Keke, Yinlian, An Shiyu, and Mujin are all there. We don't know anything about the magical girls in the local Magical Kingdom— "

Don't worry about it.

Shion waved her hand, "They're just reflections, they can't really be called magical girls."

"That's good." Bingtang's expression relaxed, and she put her arms around Shion from behind, wrapping her hands around her shoulders. She whispered, "There are over 6,200 in total, but if you include those magical girls with remnant souls, it'll be even more."

"That's fine."

Shion tidied up the documents. Although she didn't have a photographic memory, a quick glance was enough for her.

Bingtang Tang rested her chin on the sect leader's shoulder, reaching out to brush away the few documents that were about to fall, urging the sect leader to put them away quickly, while asking with some confusion, "What's wrong, sect leader? Why do you suddenly want us to collect information on all the magical girls? Conducting a census at a time like this is not easy. It took a lot of effort to find many hidden independent magical girls."

"Nothing."

After tidying up all the documents, Shion stood up. Bingtang, who was perched on her back, also stood up, which didn't seem strange to her.

With a "whoosh, "Bingtang jumped up and wrapped her legs around Shion, saying, "Sect Leader, carry me! I'm tired."

"The true teachings are still there."

"It's okay, they're used to it anyway."

I used to feel embarrassed doing this in front of children.

Shion didn't mind, since Bingtang was very light and didn't need to exert much effort.

She hooked her hand around Bingtang's thigh; it was still the stockings she had specially designed for Jiang Si, with a cool and smooth feel that even Shion almost couldn't hold onto.

You've gained weight.

"No!"

Biting the sect leader's ear resentfully, Shion glanced at the mourning hall inside the Illusory Moon Cave Abode.

The numerous Azure Cloud ancestral tokens made her slightly distracted.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Bingtang's voice came again, tinged with worry, "What exactly are you planning to do? Just tell me. All this secrecy makes it difficult for me to help you with preparations. The Azure Cloud Sect can do anything these days."

I want to disband the Azure Cloud Sect.

The sound of Bingtang vanished in an instant.

The air was thick with a chilling cold, as if Freeze solid, and one could even feel pain while breathing.

The disciples who had gone to the mourning hall to study the crystal were still chattering and making a ruckus.

They got into a huge fight over who should handle the crystals, and even the spirit tablet was knocked away.

He quickly ran over, picked it up, put it away, and closed the door to the mourning hall.

Bingtang took a deep breath, the chill of which seeped into Shion's ear. "Why? What is it that you're dissatisfied with?"

"There's nothing to be dissatisfied with, it's just that it's meaningless now."

Shion's tone was no different from usual, "I am now aiming for a higher realm. The Azure Cloud Sect is no longer of any benefit to me; on the contrary, it has become a stumbling block."

Why? What's the reason?

The Shion Ancient Well gazed serenely into the distance.

"I will hold a grand sacrifice for the entire world."

A
