STARTING MY CULTIVATION WITH TIME MANAGEMENT

Chapter 763: Chapter 1: The Execution of Senior Sister An

The war between Kunlun and the Six Paths had entered a phase of strategic stalemate.

Near Iron City Mountain, Nascent Soul Elders clashed daily in magical competition. Despite the fierce battles, actual deaths were rare.

The Qinling region, though less conspicuous, became a hidden grinding machine.

Many cultivator teams encountered each other unexpectedly in close combat, followed by merciless slaughter—the outcome often being the extinction of one side.

Both factions were losing manpower in the Guanzhong Area without gaining resources, a truly relentless internal struggle.

Soon, a divergence of opinions arose among the Six Paths.

The Asura Path and those from Iron City Mountain believed continuing the fight was futile as their own were dying off, while losing resource points in the Qinling region—what was the point of fighting on?

The Nether Ghost Path naturally disagreed, holding the resource points in their grip and proclaiming that if they held out for another half a year, the rewards could be several times greater.

So, the issue fell to the Mortal Life Path and the Heavenly Demon Path—should both factions support a cessation of hostilities, the Nether Ghost Path alone could not sustain the fight.

“Husband,” whispered Jiang Lian with a coquettish smile, embracing his arm, “do you think this war should continue?”

Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, thinking that he, as the Six Paths Alliance Leader, had established a modicum of prestige and led everyone to many benefits—it was probably time to stop.

Otherwise, once the return on investment continued to decline and the casualties further increased, wouldn’t it be his turn to take the blame?

As he deliberated, he suddenly heard Jiang Lian laugh and say:

“I also think we should stop fighting. Otherwise, once Shushan frees up and assists Kunlun, the subsequent battle situation will definitely worsen.”

“Although the Nether Ghost Path still wants to persist, it’s really just out of greed. Wen Yang spoke with me recently, saying that the Fu Xie sect leader was actually prepared to stop, but the opposition from the elders below was intense.”

“If you, as the alliance hierarch, were to speak up, they would likely listen, right?”

So to the elders of the Nether Ghost Path, their own sect leader’s analysis of the situation wasn’t as credible as the judgement of me, the Six Paths Alliance Leader?

Wei Dongliu smiled slightly in self-satisfaction and casually said:

“What’s going on with Shushan? They haven’t come to assist Kunlun for so long; I thought they were scared witless by our united Six Paths.”

“Oh, nothing too significant,” Jiang Lian replied with a sneer, “Just that Long Eyebrow Immortal has gone mad, deciding to execute the only Second Grade Golden Core True Person in their sect.”

“Is that so, that’s truly like cutting their own lifeline…” Wei Dongliu unconsciously echoed, then.

Hm?

Hm!!!!!!!!

“Which Second Grade Golden Core True Person?” His face remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.

“Jiao Xiao, I believe that’s the name,” laughed Jiang Lian derisively, “The struggle for Daoist orthodoxy is so fierce that even a Second Grade Golden Core True Person is not spared. The Shushan Shangqing Faction is becoming less and less capable.”

Wei Dongliu: ……

Don’t panic, this information might not be true.

Senior Sister An is a Second Grade Golden Core! Even if Long Eyebrow old thief is that paranoid, foolish, ignorant, and beastly, how could he execute a Second Grade Golden Core Sword Immortal over some trumped-up charge?

It must be a miscommunication. After all, this world doesn’t have mobile networks. Information is passed either through Flying Sword Messaging or word of mouth, and it’s normal for details to be exaggerated or distorted in the process.

Reload the save!

Reload reload reload reload reload, Ah Jing, send me to Shushan immediately!

After finding an excuse to part from Madam Jiang, a deeply concerned Wei Dongliu urged the Kunlun Mirror to reload the save and hurry to Shushan to confirm the situation.

Back at Shushan, Ling Yunpo quickly summoned Sword Light and charged ferociously toward Emei Golden Summit.

Ever since returning from the Golden Que Secret Realm last time, Senior Sister An had been taken away by the Disciplinary Hall for interrogation, and there’s been no news for so long. Could something really have happened?

There is a saying, “Concern leads to chaos.” Ling Yunpo subconsciously neglected the fact that not much time had passed on the Shushan line and only felt this way because he had reloaded his save too many times. He hastily made his way to the Emei Golden Summit to seek an audience with the Jade Capital Sect Leader of Shushan.

Soon, he received a reply: The Jade Capital Sect Leader was in the Ancestral Master Hall and summoned Qing Heng True Person to come in.

Ling Yunpo stepped into the Ancestral Master Hall, feeling the serenity of the surroundings, but the atmosphere seemed somewhat ominous.

Wait, could it be that Shushan has already decided to make a move against me at this time?

Don’t tell me that once I walk further inside, five hundred axemen will suddenly rush out from the surroundings and chop me into a pulp!

Ah Jing! Scan!

“Don’t be silly!” Kunlun Mirror said, half crying and half laughing, “You are just a Golden Core True Person now. If Shushan really wanted to kill you, couldn’t they just send a Nascent Soul Elder to take your dog’s head? And five hundred axemen—why not just say five hundred immortals lying in ambush for you?”

“There is some truth to what you’re saying, but one can’t be too careful, understand?” Ling Yunpo argued with her, “Just scan for me, that’s all.”

Kunlun Mirror thought to herself that this guy had turned into a scaredy-cat because of Senior Sister An’s situation… Oh well, just go along with his wishes.

“Nothing.” After scanning for a moment, she replied, “There are no ambushing axemen, and it feels so peaceful.”

“Shut up! Don’t say the last half of the sentence!” Ling Yunpo became even more uneasy and didn’t even want to continue walking in, just pacing back and forth inside the Ancestral Master Hall.

Fortunately, before he hesitated for too long, probably because he hadn’t come any further, the Jade Capital Sect Leader came out from inside and asked with a frown:

“Qing Heng, why do you seek an audience with the Sect Leader?”

“Sect Leader!” Ling Yunpo immediately brimmed with tears, acting indignant and unconquered, and earnestly asked, “What fault has my Senior Sister committed?”

“If the Sect must pursue matters of fault, please do not target Senior Sister An; just come at me! Senior Sister is a Second Grade Golden Core and represents the future hope of the Sect. How can she be kept detained for so long without causing people to laugh at us?”

Emphasis on tone: Second Grade Golden Core.

“Enough!” The Jade Capital Sect Leader also felt a headache listening to Qing Heng True Person spouting all this nonsense, and was exasperated, “Your Senior Sister is merely undergoing questioning at the Disciplinary Hall, what do you mean the Sect is targeting her?”

“Besides, Shushan has its own rules! Even if we were to pursue faults, where is there any reason for you, her Junior Brother, to take her place?”

“You say such things here, I will not quarrel with you. But if you spread rumors in public, I’ll have to punish you for the crime of defaming the Sect!”

Ling Yunpo finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his face still showed hesitation, and he continued to ask:

“Is my Senior Sister really alright? She won’t be executed for any charges, will she?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” The Jade Capital Sect Leader looked at him with a strange expression, “Who told you that your Senior Sister was going to be executed?”

“Besides, whether your Senior Sister has wantonly killed fellow disciples or not, don’t you know the truth in your heart? Or do you think the elders of the Sect are all people who cannot differentiate right from wrong and do not understand consequences?”

Right and wrong, that is to say, An Zhisu had not killed fellow disciples at will, and there was the testimony of Jiao Xiao True Person; consequences refer to the fact that as An Zhisu was a Second Grade Golden Core, Shushan would surely prioritize her protection.

Though the Jade Capital Sect Leader did not state it explicitly, his meaning was quite clear.

“Qing Heng dares not.” Ling Yunpo’s heart finally settled, and he once again made his bows before departing.

Seeing Ling Yunpo leave the Ancestral Master Hall as if granted amnesty, the Jade Capital Sect Leader chuckled a few times, shook his head, and turned away.

This Qing Heng True Person, truly anxious — to worry that the Sect would execute a Second Grade Golden Core, was utterly ridiculous.

“Hmph.” Long Eyebrow Immortal stepped out from the inner hall and looked in the direction where Ling Yunpo had left, coldly saying, “A Golden Core Sword Immortal worrying about such emotional affairs to the point of losing his bearings and shaking his Daoist Heart, what kind of example is this?”

“The Immortal might be a bit too harsh,” the Jade Capital Sect Leader said with a smile, “Since Qing Heng Jiao Xiao has cultivated the Sentiment Inquiry Path, naturally, he values sentiments and righteousness.”

“Putting aside others,” Long Eyebrow Immortal gestured impatiently, “let’s not even discuss that absurd suspicion about executing a Second Grade Golden Core. Should one day Jiao Xiao True Person fall outside, and Qing Heng True Person hear the terrible news, wouldn’t he immediately deviate from his path?”

“Conversely, should Qing Heng True Person unfortunately perish, with Jiao Xiao True Person’s stubborn nature, she would likely choose to die for love on the spot!”

“You call it valuing sentiments and righteousness; I say it is being tied hand and foot, the height of folly!”

The Jade Capital Sect Leader then chuckled bitterly.

So many years had passed, and Long Eyebrow Immortal was still brooding over the incident when Qi Sha True Person Su Jian had tried to protect his beloved daughter and was seriously wounded in an ambush by the Asura Path.
