Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Cause of Shenxiao’s Destruction (Third update, request for monthly tickets)

Qingyang Zi’S complexion subtly changed, not understanding why Pei Xuanjing would suddenly ask such a question.

“Why did you suddenly bring this up?”

Pei Xuanjing didn’t answer, only re-posed the question: ‘Elder, could you solve my discomfiture?”

Looking at Pei Xuanjing, Qingyang Zi shook his head resolutely, denying, “The True Martial Sect has never been involved in the destruction of Shenxiao Sect”.

His gaze was firmly fixed on Pei Xuanjing, not evading in the slightest.

Pei Xuanjing smiled, and then asked, “Then, elder, could you answer this for me: why is the Shenxiao Sect’s “Shenxiao Jade Book” in the True Martial Sect?”

Shenxiao Jade Book!

Qingyang Zi’S face changed dramatically: “How did you know?”

About this matter, it was extremely secretive. If it hadn’t been for his sect leader’s word, he would never have thought that this Shenxiao sect’s supreme martial art would be present in True Martial Sect.

And the reason the sect leader told him was to enable him to tell Pei Xuanjing this, as the final trump card. But he didn’t expect Pei Xuanjing to have known already, which was truly startling.

“Elder don’t need to concern yourself with how I know, just tell me why the Shenxiao Jade Book is in the True Martial Sect?” Pei Xuanjing retorted.

Qingyang Zi calmed his somewhat agitated emotions, his face regained its calm. He didn’t answer directly, rather asked, “If I refuse to speak, are you going to attack me?”

Pei Xuanjing shook his head, “Elder has helped me a lot, how could I be an ingrate?”

Regardless of the reason, Qingyang Zi had taken care of him a lot, how could he attack Qingyang Zi over this matter.

Qingyang Zi gave him a look and finally sighed, saying, “If I were to tell you, the Shenxiao Jade Book was personally delivered to Taihe Mountain by Shenxiao Sect itself, would you believe it?”

Even though Pei Xuanjing had made numerous assumptions in his heart, he didn’t expect this answer. The Shenxiao Jade Book was actually given by the Shenxiao Sect’s own accord.

What exactly was the reason that led to the members of the Shenxiao Sect willingly giving away their treasured object that defended the Sect?

Pei Xuanjing became more and more curious about this.

Pei Xuanjing poured a cup of tea for Qingyang Zi, “Please enlighten me, elder.”

Qingyang Zi gave him an irritated glance but began to tell him what he knew.

“You asked just now if True Martial Sect participated in the destruction of Shenxiao Sect. I told you that we did not. In essence, to be more accurate to say, Taihe Mountain’s True Martial Sect did not participate in the destruction of Shenxiao Sect by the Great Ming imperial court, but regarding Shenxiao Sect’s actions, True Martial Sect was not oblivious and even participated in it.” Qingyang Zi directly threw out a shocking secret.

The Shenxiao Sect’s matter involved not just them, but also the True Martial Sect.

If this news were to get out, it would likely be shocking to the entire Great Ming, it stirred up huge waves.

Many major powers would probably turn their attention to this matter from two hundred years ago, wanting to figure out what exactly happened back then, that even True Martial Sect got involved.

Qingyang Zi said, “Therefore, there was not only no discord between Shenxiao Sect and True Martial Sect back then, but they were allies.”

“But if that’s the case, why did Shenxiao fall and True Martial remain?” Pei Xuanjing asked.

Yes, the two sides were allies and jointly planned the same project, but the results were vastly different in the end.

The Shenxiao Sect, with a legacy of thousands of years, was destroyed overnight, its sect’s residence demolished, and the lineage severed.

Yet the True Martial Sect still thrived splendidly, not affected in the slightest.

Qingyang Zi said, “The reason for all this lies within, you need to understand it yourself.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded slightly, then tore open the envelope and spread out the letter.

It was a long time later when Pei Xuanjing finally understood everything and fell into a silent contemplation.

This letter revealed the Shenxiao Sect’s intrigues and the reasons for its destruction.

The story goes back to when Feather Guest of Jinmen brought the Shenxiao Sect to its peak, suppressing the Buddha Way and Honoring Shenxiao, making the Shenxiao Sect the world’s top Taoist School.

Moreover, because Feather Guest of Jinmen had a close relationship with the Taoist Emperor, he had the opportunity to read many royal treasures and secret manuscripts.

One day, Feather Guest of Jinmen learned of a secret about longevity from an inherited handbook.

Following that, Feather Guest of Jinmen grew obsessed, meticulously researching until he finally uncovered a path to longevity, using the handbook as a clue and deciphering various related manuscripts.

After years of planning, just when Feather Guest of Jinmen prepared to implement this method, the imperial court crumbled under a foreign invasion. Not only did Feather Guest die, but the Shenxiao Sect, called the world’s top Taoist School, also suffered a heavy blow and had to close its doors and retreat.

Time passed, until the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty did the Shenxiao Sect fully recover and flourish once again.

However, by that time, the Shenxiao Sect no longer had its former status as the world’s top Taoist School. Instead, Taihe Mountain’s True Martial Sect had gained the trust of the royal family and seemed to dominate the Taoist School.

During the reign of the first Taizu Emperor of the Great Ming, several formidable emperors succeeded one after another. Even though the Shenxiao Sect had the secret of longevity, they didn’t have the opportunity to use it, let alone dare to disclose it easily.

It wasn’t until the Tumu Fortress incident that the powerful Great Ming Dynasty stumbled. The prestige of the royal family was swept away, and the suppression of the various powers also weakened accordingly.

As a result, the Shenxiao Sect sent people to Taihe Mountain to hold secret discussions with the then True Martial Sect leader and Bai Xiaosheng. Finally, both parties agreed to cooperate covertly and openly to implement the Longevity Plan.

However, who could have anticipated that shortly after the plan was put into action, it was leaked, attracting the attention and suppression of the royal family. Eventually, the royal family sent a large army to destroy the Shenxiao Sect.

But before the Shenxiao Sect was about to be destroyed, they had already prepared to hand over the Shenxiao Jade Book to True Martial Sect, using the demise of their own sect as a price to conceal this matter.

In the same manner, True Martial Sect and Bai Xiaosheng promised to help the Shenxiao Sect recover in the future and once again implement the Longevity Plan.

However, even though the Shenxiao Sect gave the Shenxiao Jade Book to True Martial Sect, they also kept a backup by hiding the truly secretive sections in the forbidden places and blessed lands they controlled to prevent True Martial Sect from going back on its word.

Therefore, if True Martial Sect wanted to truly re-implement this plan, they must involve someone who had cultivated the Shenxiao Jade Book.

Bai Xiaosheng, as a participant in this agreement and a witness to the accord between both sides, was also involved in this matter.

On the one hand, he was secretly searching for a disciple who could cultivate the Shenxiao Jade Book while on the other hand, he was looking for the hidden branches and backups of the Shenxiao Sect’s lineage, those who were true inheritors of the Shenxiao Sect..
