Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1306 - 776: The Counterattack of Lingxu Cave

Recently, True Master Yun Miao has seemed to transform into an accountant maneuvering abacus beads, meticulously calculating every detail.

Though he had almost never been involved in the Dao site before, he was unprecedentedly attentive to the matters You Yao had instructed.

First, the Emperor’s Aura had to be sufficiently gathered, for otherwise, the task would not be fulfilled. But under this premise, the people of these Four Mansions could not truly be driven to extinction; otherwise, what use would it be to hold four pieces of desolate land in hand by then?

For this reason, True Master Yun Miao racked his brains, directing Qing Guang Cave’s disciples to navigate through the Dao field. He not only applied the tricks he saw in Kaiyuan Prefecture, building shelters for the refugees and placing no limits on water and grain, but also personally intervened, monitoring the demeanor and attitudes of the many disciples, exhibiting the posture of the head of Qing Guang Cave.

After all, only when the common people have experienced good days, will they feel more pain when they lose them. In contrast, the valuable difficulty of Immortal grace would become apparent.

Many Qing Guang Cave disciples followed obediently out of respect for Master You Yao, although privately they could not help but gossip about this exceedingly diligent "outsider".

In a world where nothing remains hidden, let alone in the North Continent where all cultivators originate from the same sect.

Soon, the changes in the lands of the Four Mansions, led by Zhenning Prefecture, drew the attention of many fellow sect members.

"Senior Sister You Yao doesn’t seem like she’s admitting defeat."

"Could she be aiming to covertly influence the surrounding fellow sect members’ Dao fields, the way True Monarch Tai Xu seized Kaiyuan Prefecture back then?"

"Setting aside Senior Sister You Yao, why does Senior Brother Yun Miao look like a lackey, and he seems to enjoy it, as if he can gain a share of the Emperor’s Aura from the Four Mansions."

The recent changes have evidently caused You Yao’s prestige within the sect to plummet. In the past, others wouldn’t dare to casually comment on matters concerning Senior Sister.

Listening to the laughter and conversation of the younger disciples next to him.

Master Li Shan fell into silence, gazing far into the direction of Zhenning Prefecture with flickering eyes.

Contrary to everyone’s speculation, what he saw was that You Yao had not only admitted defeat but also planned to quit altogether.

Of course, regardless of what that woman’s intentions were, she would find it very difficult to vie for the final throne.

What Master Li Shan truly worried about is You Yao’s posture of consuming all resources in the Four Mansions, seemingly intending to use the Emperor’s Aura to prove herself as a Golden Immortal. Such a huge setback surely stoked a belly full of anger.

In addition, being in such a hurry to break through; could it be she wants to give up and drag others down with her?

Master Li Shan wasn’t afraid of a madwoman. Besides, the other’s target was most likely not himself, and even if she succeeded in proving herself, the sect elders wouldn’t just stand by and watch her harm himself, the leading disciple of Xuanwei Cave.

What he feared was that You Yao might break the rules in anger. By then, what should have been a fair competition for the position of Lord of Heaven and Earth among volunteering disciples might turn into a different, uncontrollable chaos.

"Senior Brother Li Shan, are you planning to go somewhere?"

The many younger disciples noticed the anomaly and looked this way in confusion.

Master Li Shan gave a helpless smile; You Yao’s withdrawal was indeed good news for him, reducing a strong competitor. Yet, he couldn’t just watch as that woman turned this great calamity into a sordid and foul-mannered spectacle, harming others and themselves, and the disaster would begin to unfold.

"I need to advise our Master You Yao."

...

Zhenning Prefecture City, even though it had been years since the day of the city’s fall, it remains a wasteland.

A thick stench of urine and feces permeated the surroundings.

Even though True Master Yun Miao is a Daluo Immortal Venerable, as long as he is unwilling, these odors cannot approach him. But merely observing the scene around him, he subconsciously used a handkerchief to cover his nose.

"Is everything arranged well?"

"Reporting to the elder, the seven Great Demons have all been driven over. Regardless of the route or how many to kill and how many to leave, it was all clearly explained to them, entirely as per your instructions."

Suppressing the disdain in his eyes, the Qing Guang Cave disciple forced a respectful demeanor and bowed in salute.

"It’s almost time to begin."

True Master Yun Miao put down his handkerchief and looked around again, visibly more excited.

It won’t be long until everything within sight becomes part of his own Dao field.

That Insect Demon Disciple used every imaginable trick, full of sinister intentions and ultimately only temporarily occupied Kaiyuan Prefecture.

While he, the leading disciple of Lingxu Cave, needs no struggle; a little effort would easily claim a Dao field far superior to the opponent’s.

Who exactly is the future of the Lingxu Cave line? In some time, that dim-sighted master will see it clearly.

Besides, with Senior Sister You Yao choosing to withdraw, logically, he could take her place.

With these thoughts in mind, True Master Yun Miao instinctively looked up to the sky, his breathing somewhat becoming rapid... Who would have thought that one day Yun Miao could also compete for the Immortal Emperor’s throne!

If he could truly ascend to the grand position, even his master would have to respectfully salute him and address him as the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Just the thought of this scene made Yun Miao unable to help tremble slightly, waving his sleeve and saying, "Go, execute it quickly!"

He was already impatient to wash away all grievances, to prove to numerous fellow sect members in North Continent how forward-thinking he actually is.

"By your command!"

All disciples of Qing Guang Cave quickly cupped their hands to exit, heading in all directions.

With the vastness of the Four Mansions, attempting to capture the Emperor’s Aura all at once, utilizing all the manpower of the line, still seemed insufficient.
