After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 140 Gathering at Qingyun Mountain

One day later, the appointed day arrived.

Bai Xiaotian, along with Ye Xiaobai and other disciples of the White Tiger Sect, boarded a flying boat and quickly arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect.

At this time, the Qingyun Sect was in a state of panic. There were rumors that all the disciples who went to the White Tiger Sect had been wiped out. Some Qingyun Sect cultivators secretly fled after hearing this, not wanting to stay and wait to be exterminated.

The ten Core Formation cultivators who were initially sent to attack the White Tiger Sect's spiritual veins, markets, and other territories were repelled by Core Formation cultivators sent to reinforce them by the White Tiger Sect, and then returned to the Azure Cloud Sect. Naturally, they did not believe the rumor, and it was only with Lin Ruoping, the cultivator with the highest cultivation level, leading the other Core Formation cultivators, that the situation was temporarily stabilized.

Lin Ruoping's cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm, but now he was the highest-ranking member of the remaining forces of the Qingyun Sect. After stabilizing the morale of the people, Lin Ruoping immediately sent out his men to investigate the latest battle situation.

The speed of Core Formation stage cultivators is naturally no match for that of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. The cultivators who went out to gather information encountered the aggressive teams from the other three sects and had no chance to escape; they were captured on the spot.

When the elders of the three major sects arrived at the gate of the Qingyun Sect, Lin Ruoping and the remaining Qingyun Sect cultivators realized that the Qingyun Sect had come to an end.

A large hall in Qingyun Mountain.

The three major sects, White Tiger Sect, Vermilion Bird Sect, and Yellow Dragon Sect, gathered at Qingyun Sect. The elders of the three sects sat in the head seats, while the disciples of Qingyun Sect stood to the side.

The taste of defeat is truly unbearable. When the disciples of Qingyun Sect heard about the tragic situation of one elder dying and the other fleeing, their hearts were heavy, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

They were all pale-faced, their eyes filled with despair and sorrow, as if they had lost their dearest loved ones.

A profound sense of grief enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect, and the young disciples were unable to accept this cruel reality. At the same time, the fear and unease rising from the depths of their hearts grew even stronger.

They knew that the situation was already precarious. The three major sects were powerful and ruthless, and no one could guarantee that they would escape being wiped out.

"Alright, the three major sects of us have come here today to inform you that the Qingyun Sect will cease to exist from this day forward. If you wish to join our three sects, then join us; if not, you may leave on your own. However, you may not take a single blade of grass or tree from the Qingyun Sect with you!" Bai Xiaotian spoke first, breaking the silence.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the members of the Qingyun Sect were shocked. Their sect, which they had been with for so many years, was gone just like that.

Immediately, everyone started discussing it and quickly considered their future plans.

"Alright, stop arguing! I'll give you three breaths to make a decision. If you haven't made a decision by then, I'll make it for you!" Zhu Chengfeng of the Vermilion Bird Sect, who was standing to the side, moved his hands and heard a "crackling" sound. He looked down at the Qingyun Sect members and said.

"3, 2..."

Just as Zhu Chengfeng was still counting down, everyone immediately made a decision.

"I want to join the White Tiger Sect!"

"I join the Vermilion Bird Sect!"

……

Most people chose to join the White Tiger Sect, including Lin Ruoping, who was in the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. After all, according to Lin Ruoping's understanding, the White Tiger Sect was currently the number one sect within the Great Jin Dynasty. Since he had to choose a sect, he naturally chose the strongest one.

A small number joined the Vermilion Bird Sect and the Yellow Dragon Sect, while only a few individuals chose not to join any sect and left.

After the remaining members of the Qingyun Sect were divided up, the next step was to divide up the original territory of the Qingyun Sect.

First, the White Tiger Sect regained control of the eastern section of the White Mist Mountain Range, meaning the entire White Mist Mountain Range now belonged to the White Tiger Sect once again.

Ye Xiaobai sighed at the unpredictability of life. When he first came to the White Tiger Sect, the sect only had the western section of the White Mist Mountain Range left. The disciples were worried that they would not be able to hold on to it. Unexpectedly, not long after, they not only retained the western section, but also took back the eastern section.

Then the White Tiger Sect acquired half of the Qingyun Sect's territory, including Qingyun Mountain, while the Vermilion Bird Sect and the Yellow Dragon Gate divided the remaining half.

Zhu Chengfeng and Huangfusong both agreed with Bai Xiaotian's proposed division of territory, since they had acquired a large area without much effort.

After some haggling, Zhu Chengfeng and Huangfu Song finally settled on the division of their territories. All three families happily completed their trip to Qingyun Sect, or more accurately, their trip to Qingyun Mountain.

Watching the departing figures of the disciples who were unwilling to join the three families, Zhu Chengfeng coldly said, "Venerable White Tiger, why not just eliminate them completely? Who knows what trouble they might cause in the future if they leave!"

"The conflict with our White Tiger Sect was a decision made by the higher-ups of the Azure Cloud Sect. The lower-level disciples could only obey orders. Cultivation is not easy, so let these people go!" Bai Xiaotian quickly explained.

"Venerable White Tiger is indeed kind and benevolent. I admire him. The matter has been settled, so I'll take my leave now. I'll visit Venerable White Tiger again another day when I have time!" Zhu Chengfeng said, and then left with his newly joined disciple.

"See you later!"

"Senior Brother Bai, I'll head back now!" Huangfu Song decided to leave as he saw there was nothing else to do.

"Then take care, Brother Huangfu!"

Seeing that most of the people in the other two rows had left, Bai Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finished all his business and it was time to return to his sect for seclusion.

"Chuanming, arrange for some disciples to stay here at Qingyun Mountain to handle the remaining matters. This place will be considered our Qingyun Mountain branch. I'll take a group of disciples and head back!" Bai Xiaotian said to Han Chuanming.

"Yes, Elder, then take care on your journey!" Han Chuanming said respectfully.

Afterwards, Bai Xiaotian returned to the White Tiger Sect with a group of newly joined disciples. Currently, there is a shortage of manpower, so only a group of disciples who originally belonged to the Azure Cloud Sect could stay to help the White Tiger Sect members quickly get familiar with the sect.

"Bei Feng, Ye Xiaobai, you two go with Lin Ruoping to check the current situation of spiritual herbs and spiritual veins in Qingyun Mountain!" Han Chuanming directly instructed Mu Beifeng and Ye Xiaobai to handle the affairs of Qingyun Mountain.

"Okay Master!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"Junior Brother Lin, you can stay here on Qingyun Mountain as the head of our White Tiger Sect's Qingyun Mountain branch!" Han Chuanming said with a smile, looking at Lin Ruoping, who had just joined the White Tiger Sect.

"Sect Leader Han, how can this be? I have only just joined our White Tiger Sect. To directly appoint me as the head of the Qingyun Mountain branch would probably be difficult to gain the respect of the people, wouldn't it?" Lin Ruoping quickly refused.

"Hey, it's alright. You said you're from our White Tiger Sect, so we're family now. I'll have Elder Zhou Wenlei assist you from now on, so you don't need to worry!"

Han Chuanming glanced at Zhou Wenlei, then turned around and began to persuade him.

"Yes, Junior Brother Lin, we all believe in you, you can do it!" Zhou Wenlei immediately understood after seeing Han Chuanming's eyes and quickly added his encouragement.

"Alright, since the sect leader and Senior Brother Zhou both think I can do it, I won't refuse. From now on, I, Lin Ruoping, will definitely live and die with the White Tiger Sect!" Lin Ruoping quickly set an example and showed his loyalty.

"Okay, okay, okay, why talk about dying on such a good day!" Han Chuanming joked.

"Sect Master, it was my mistake. I will be more careful with my words in the future!" Lin Ruoping was immediately shocked and quickly explained.

"Alright, I'll have to trouble you from now on!" Han Chuanming said.

"It's all what I should do!"
