Chương 44: Many People Seek Help

With the addition of the Nine Luminaries True Lord, Fang Yang finally had his own force within the Jie Sect.

Although this force is not capable of turning the tide, it is with this force that Fang Yang can be considered to have initially established his power.

In the future, whether it's spreading the word or dealing with enemies outside the sect, Fang Yang will no longer have to fight alone.

The Holy Mother of Wudang did not react much; after her small group was established, it achieved nothing.

The power to spread the teachings of the Jie Sect was controlled by Daoist Duobao. They were unwilling to fight with Daoist Duobao and did not want to get involved in the power to spread the teachings. Wudang Shengmu and Zhao Gongming had special identities and symbolically accepted two disciples. Yunxiao, Jiuyao Zhenjun, and the Twelve Yuanchen did not even accept any disciples.

Fang Yang was clearly different from the Holy Mother of Wudang. He had only recently been promoted to a disciple, yet he had already earned a great deal of merit for the Jie Sect.

Logically, since Fang Yang was a disciple of the Jie Sect, a large portion of the merits he earned should belong to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

But the sages in the primordial world were not capitalists; they never pocketed the merits earned by their disciples.

Fang Yang then received all the merits.

But the Nine Luminaries True Lord saw hope in this act of merit.

If Fang Yang has the ability to earn the first merit, he also has the ability to earn the second.

By following Fang Yang, he also has the opportunity to earn merit.

As for the Holy Mother Wudang, she is only of a higher level of cultivation. She cannot help them earn merit, let alone help them break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Holy Mother of Wudang knows her own family's affairs best. Compared to Fang Yang's plan to earn merit, her plan for a vacuum-free hometown is far too illusory.

Those who have accumulated merit are the ones worth following.

"Ha ha."

Fang Yang sensed the subtle atmosphere between the Holy Mother of Wudang and the True Lord of the Nine Luminaries and burst into laughter.

"Please don't take it to heart, everyone. We are all disciples of the Jie Sect, and Senior Sister Wudang has decided to stand by me and help me. In a way, we are still on the same side."

Out of consideration for Fang Yang, the Holy Mother of Wudang and the True Lord of Jiuyao exchanged a smile, putting aside their slight embarrassment.

However, the Holy Mother of Wudang will definitely not give up on the plan to return to her hometown in the vacuum. She is a Great Golden Immortal, and once her Daoist guiding principle is established, there is no possibility of abandoning it.

At present, the Holy Mother Wudang has only reached an agreement with Fang Yang on the matter of purging the outer sect of the Jie Sect. Regarding the propagation and flourishing of the Daoist tradition, the Holy Mother Wudang has her own views.

After all the misunderstandings were cleared up, the Holy Mother Wudang continued, "Junior Brother, the number of outer disciples of our sect exceeds 48, 000. Among them, nearly 70% are like Junior Brother, who have received the inheritance of their master and ascended to immortality."

"These junior brothers and sisters, after joining the sect, only want to focus on cultivating the Tao, and have no habit of being born from animals, wet animals, or eggs."

"We're not dealing with them, but with the scoundrels who collude with the Seven Immortals of Penglai, Lü Yue, Luo Xuan, and the Ten Heavenly Lords. Junior Brother, you can admit that."

Although many outer disciples support Daoist Duobao, the vast majority of them are not in control of their own destiny.

These outer disciples were "extremely lucky" to catch the eye of the Seven Immortals of Penglai and others, and were invited to join them.

The most typical example is Lady Shiji.

Lady Shiji was originally a virtuous and morally upright female immortal, but her radiance was so dazzling that Ma Yuan took a liking to her.

Ma Yuan not only moved his cave dwelling to Qingliang Mountain, the home of Lady Shiji, but also used his demonic powers to corrupt Qingliang Mountain, turning a once blessed immortal mountain into an ancient demonic realm.

Lady Shiji was straightforward and honest. She was unwilling to break ties with Ma Yuan and was also inflexible. Seeing that she couldn't get rid of Ma Yuan, she simply accepted his existence.

Once this door was opened, things spiraled out of control.

Ma Yuan repeatedly crossed the line, relentlessly pressuring Lady Shiji. Ultimately, Lady Shiji had no choice but to become a member of the Seven Immortals of Penglai.

The Holy Mother of Wudang did not want to exterminate Shiji Niangniang, who was not in control of her own destiny.

In the past, in the heart of the Holy Mother of Wudang, Daoist Duobao was of higher priority than Lady Shiji and others.

Therefore, after Lady Shiji and others were oppressed by the Seven Immortals of Penglai, the Holy Mother Wudang remained silent.

However, after she decided to turn the tide, she no longer cared about Duobao Daoren's opinion and began to sympathize with people like Shiji Niangniang.

The Virgin Mary of Wudang is not the perfect person in the eyes of the public; she is multifaceted, and this multifacetedness is precisely the most essential part of human nature.

"That's natural."

Fang Yang nodded.

He is not responsible for judging good and evil; he only wants to solve the problem of the many outer disciples ruining the fortune of the Jie Sect.

Since Lady Shiji and the others were acting against their will, why should he kill them all and create new enemies for himself?

When Wudang Shengmu saw that Fang Yang was giving her face, her favor towards Fang Yang increased dramatically.

At least, Fang Yang wasn't an arrogant or self-willed person. Working with someone like that, she didn't need to worry about the plan going wrong.

"It would be best if Junior Brother could be so magnanimous towards them. On Jin'ao Island, Senior Sister Jinling, like me, has long had some complaints about Senior Brother's actions. If I reason with her and appeal to her emotions, she will surely join us."

"With the two of us, plus Senior Sister Jinling, although we are not enough to threaten Senior Brother's position in the teacher's heart, our strength will be greatly increased."

Our Lady of Wudang proposed it again.

Fang Yang wholeheartedly agreed. Among all the disciples of the Jie Sect, the Golden Spirit Mother's virtue was the most outstanding, and her reputation among the disciples was extremely high.

With a wave of her arm, countless disciples of the Jie Sect would step forward to respond to her call.

If the Holy Mother of Wudang could truly persuade the Holy Mother of Jinling, the future of the Jie Sect would surely be glorious and bright, and it would absolutely not suffer a catastrophic disaster.

"Since you have this idea, then go for it!"

Fang Yang nodded in agreement.

In fact, relying on external forces to solve the problem of the Jie Sect is a poor strategy. In the primordial world, very few people dare to attack the disciples of a great sect of saints.

Fang Yang's kill order can only restrict the movements of the outer disciples of the Jie Sect for a short period of time.

In time, no one will be watching them anymore. Once the Seven Immortals of Penglai appear, all the great powers of the heavens will begin to retreat in fear.

It's different when the disciples of the Jie Sect do it themselves; they don't need to worry about the attitude of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Tongtian Sect Leader has already given Fang Yang the reins to do it. With that as a foundation, it's perfectly reasonable for Fang Yang to cause any big trouble.

After the Holy Mother of Wudang returned to Jin'ao Island, Fang Yang and the Nine Luminaries True Lord returned to Qingcheng Mountain.

The Nine Luminaries True Lord is preparing to set up the Heavenly Gang Formation on Mount Qingcheng as a protective formation to safeguard the mountain's grottoes.

Just as Fang Yang and the others returned, another group of Taiyi Golden Immortals appeared and descended upon Qingcheng Mountain.

It turned out that another disciple of the Jie Sect had come to pay homage to the mountain.

The Five True Lords of Baicai Mountain have arrived!

They also came to seek refuge with Fang Yang; their plant clan also wanted to shine and contribute.
