either it was for the expansion of territory, requiring a group to lead the charge and take on the role of scouts,

or it was to prevent subordinate sects from causing trouble, necessitating stronger oversight.

it looked very much like the latter.

because the hundred-tempering child was facing the once-in-a-century life and death trial, if the subordinate super sects caused trouble or even colluded with external enemies at this time, the hundred-tempering immortal sect would face a significant security risk. it could even be destroyed entirely.

the destruction of the longevity sect had happened in an extremely short time.

and at that time, the longevity sect was at the height of its power, and nobody expected that it would be wiped out.

the hundred-tempering immortal sect had been established for over a thousand years by now.

the hundred-tempering child and those old ministers of the hundred-tempering immortal sect belonged to the first generation; they had experienced many bloody battles during the founding of the sect and had even wiped out the preceding sects. therefore, they had a strong sense of crisis.

even after a thousand years of peaceful days, they would still likely remain vigilant towards the subordinate sects.

because when looking at the history of those sects that had been destroyed, few were annihilated by external enemies; most were taken down by their own subordinate sects.

another common scenario was the emergence of a powerful figure within one of the subordinated sects of an immortal sect.

out of gratitude or fear towards that immortal sect, the super sect would not dare to challenge the immortal sect that held authority over it. thus, it would set its sights on weaker immortal sects outside of its own.

they would strike unexpectedly, sparking a war of sect conquest.

if they were to lose, they could still retreat to their native land and continue to survive. but if they won, they would successfully establish a new immortal sect, marking a monumental achievement.

qin niu always felt that the current state of the hundred-tempering immortal sect was like a building in a brewing storm, about to be enveloped by turbulent winds.

it was possible that chaos could erupt at any moment.

the wars of sect founding that dragged on for years could last over three thousand years, and for most people, war was not a good thing.

because where there was war, there would be deaths.

tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of strong experts might fall, and no one could be sure that they would be lucky enough to survive until the end of the war.

just now, facing the immortal might of the great immortal envoy, qin niu was certain that he had no power of resistance in front of such a high-level expert. if the other party willed him to live, he would live, and if they willed him to die, then he could only die.

“let’s go, let’s first find an inn to settle down!”

qin niu said to the three.

“xiao qing, can you still feel that call from the depths of your soul? while the water and land dharma assembly hasn’t started yet, i’m planning to take you to look for them.”

if he could help her find her family, that would be the best outcome.

although he felt reluctant to part, if her family was strong enough, she would certainly get better development after returning to them.

qin niu had two wives to support, and there would be children in the future, so the cultivation resources he could provide xiao qing were limited.

besides, he was currently very weak and incomparable to those truly established powerful clans.

“i can feel it, but it’s still very vague,”

her eyes were filled with anticipation.

“alright, we’ll look for your family after we’ve settled down.”

maybe her family was one of the alchemy families within elixir city. after all, the medicine king sutra was closely related to alchemy.
