Chapter 288 Since I can't have it, I might as well destroy it.
Sect Leader Lu wouldn't let her sit idly by, and asked Zhong Lingxin with a smile, "Peak Leader Zhong, what are your thoughts?"
Zhong Lingxin quickly sat up straight and answered earnestly, "I will listen to the sect leader and my two senior uncles."
Sect Master Lu was speechless; he knew Zhong Lingxin would answer like that.
Seeing this, Qingming smiled and said, "Peak Master Zhong, there are no outsiders here. On the way here, the sect leader kept saying that you have ideas when things happen. This time it concerns you, so we wanted to hear your thoughts."
Seeing that all three of them were looking at her, Zhong Lingxin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll just say a few words. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, Sect Master and my two senior uncles."
Sect Master Lu and Qingming and Qinghao both nodded.
Zhong Lingxin said, "My idea is simple: in the short term, let them keep busy fighting amongst themselves. In the long term, the West will only have two major sects, the Taixu Sect and the Beast Taming Sect. These two sects occupy vast areas, have many people, and recruit many disciples. With such a large base, there will naturally be more good talents. Over time, these two major sects will only become stronger and stronger. We must divide these two major sects into many smaller sects. Only in this way can these two major sects decline."
Qinghao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Qingming and Sect Leader Lu exchanged a smile; they thought the same thing.
However, it's a bit difficult to put this idea into practice.
The Taixu Sect, in particular, was controlled too well by the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect, who balanced the power of the various families too well, keeping them in check and balance, so no family could cause any trouble.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "The Void Heaven Sect Master has done an excellent job of maintaining balance."
However, the major families of the Taixu Sect are all ancient forces with tens of thousands of years of history, with too many intricate relationships and too many entanglements of interests.
There are too many grudges and conflicts between them, as well as too many gains and losses.
There's always something we can use.
Sect Leader Lu nodded: "Tell me about it."
With a wave of her hand, Zhong Lingxin displayed a relationship chart of the various families of the Taixu Sect in front of the four of them. She then used her spiritual energy to create dots of light and placed them on the chart.
The yellow ones represent a faction with vested interests.
Green indicates the addition of a faction.
There are also red, purple, black, and blue, each forming a faction.
Over the years, these factions have clashed—you seized my cultivation city, I encroached on his commercial interests…
The sheer number of gains and losses made Qinghao Zunsheng's head spin.
Sect Master Lu and Venerable Qingming nodded repeatedly.
In the end, their gazes settled on one family: the Lan family.
The Lan family, an old and prestigious family of the Taixu Sect, has been declining in recent years.
However, the head of the Lan family is extremely capable. He maintains the Lan family as a large clan by relying on various interests and kinship ties, and creates opportunities for the next generation of geniuses in the Lan family to grow.
Of course, there are also those who haven't benefited from such a large pie as the Lan family, who are eyeing it covetously, looking for an opportunity to take a bite.
Sect Leader Lu chuckled.
He had already sent people to keep an eye on the Lan family.
If the Lan family is destroyed, the related marriage alliances will inevitably break, and various forces within the Taixu Sect will surely rush to divide them up.
Just as Zhong Lingxin and Sect Master Lu were discussing how to deal with the Lan family of the Taixu Sect, three Transcending Tribulation Saints from the Taixu Sect arrived in Qingling City.
Upon entering the city, the three Transcending Tribulation Saints went straight to the Law Enforcement Association to accuse the Alchemist Association of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, demanding that the Law Enforcement Association punish the Alchemist Association and disband the Alchemist Association for its indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
In fact, the Taixu Sect has wanted to disband the Alchemist Association for the past two hundred years.
Originally, they were doing a good job of plundering the alchemist association's resources of medicinal pills.
But then Zhong Lingxin came along and implemented a series of swift and decisive reforms. For the past two hundred years, the Taixu Sect has had no way to take shortcuts and has had to honestly buy pills according to the rules.
How could they bear this?
When has the Taixu Sect never been the one to benefit the most?
Since I can't have it, I might as well destroy it.
As for the development of elixirs in the Immortal Spirit Continent, what business is it of theirs!
As the president of the Law Enforcers Association, Feng Yu naturally dared not neglect the three Tribulation Transcending Saints of the Taixu Sect. He personally accepted their petition, presented the Law Enforcers Association's terms and conditions, and explained them to them one by one.
Meanwhile, Feng Yu sent a message to Zhong Lingxin, urging her to come up with a solution quickly, as he was almost itching to fight the three Transcending Tribulation Saints of the Taixu Sect.
That's absolutely disgusting.
Do they really think his law enforcement association is just for show?
They even brought up the past case of the Chen family suing Zhong Lingxin, claiming that they had obtained authorization from the Chen family to handle the lawsuit between the Chen family and Zhong Lingxin.
Feng Yu was extremely depressed.
How come Zhong Lingxin, such a cunning person, hasn't been able to get rid of the Chen family after hundreds of years!
This is really not Zhong Lingxin's fault.
It was when Chen Xingyi was dealing with the Chen family's problems that he discovered that the gossip about him and the Chen family satisfied the curiosity of the cultivators on the Immortal Spirit Continent, and intentionally or unintentionally, he gave his own business free advertising.
Therefore, he kept the Chen family as a stepping stone, and whenever he opened a new shop or launched a new promotional product, he would use the Chen family to create hype.
To be honest, this whole thing really put Chen Xingyi in a bad position.
Zhong Lingxin could only sigh and rub her nose at the message Feng Yu had sent her.
She couldn't very well say that her family had a low moral standard when it came to business interests.
Fortunately, just when Feng Yuren was about to explode with anger, good news came from the Taixu Sect.
The Lan family of the Taixu Sect probably did something that angered both heaven and man, and was wiped out overnight.
At the same time, images were also released showing the Lan family patriarch, the Lan family elder, and two Lan family relatives by marriage cultivating in a secret place filled with bloodshed.
This secret place has been confirmed by the daughters of the Lan family who have married out of the family to be the secret place behind the Lan family's mountain.
Within the Taixu Sect, various factions immediately sprang into action.
Even the three Transcending Tribulation Saints who were far away in Qingling City suing the Alchemist Association couldn't bother urging the Law Enforcement Association to hold a trial.
They all rushed back to the Taixu Sect.
The Lan family's cake is really big; if you can take a bite, you can get too many cultivation resources.
In the Taixu Hall of the Taixu Sect, the sect master of Xutian slammed his palm and shattered a tea table in front of him.
Damn the Lan family!
He valued the Lan family and kept them around because the Lan family only had one Mahayana cultivator at its highest level, and the Lan family head was an extremely sensible person.
It can be said that the Lan family is his money bag.
Now, the wallet is gone.
He still has to deal with the related follow-up matters.
The various factions within the Taixu Sect that he had painstakingly subdued were now stirring up trouble again.
Especially that Wei Wuming, a hothead who recklessly charged forward without knowing his own mortality.
Don't think he didn't know that Ji Guangqi was giving him advice from behind.
Over the years, he had tolerated Wei Wuming for a long time.
Originally, Wei Wuming was the knife in his hand, a knife that could cut wherever it was pointed.
Now, this knife is trying to snatch food from his mouth!
Damn it, damn it!
The meat in his mouth isn't so easy to snatch!
