Qingwei True Person’s reputation in the Upper Realm might not be as resounding as Profound Ancient True Person’s or Lone Swan True Person’s, but she was also a top-tier powerhouse of the first rank.

Empress Lingyao being her disciple meant that in terms of formidable backing, she wasn’t necessarily inferior to Jun Changxiao.

“That’s not right!”

Profound Ancient True Person said: “That woman was once defined as a rebel. You being her disciple—how could you be helping the Realm Hall do things?”

He and Qingwei True Person had some interactions, but it wasn’t like what some reader surnamed Duo said about them having a romantic story together. It was purely that they were outstanding talents of the same era.

Simply put.

Their debut times were roughly similar.

Top-tier powerhouses like Chess Sage True Person and Lone Swan True Person were all of the same generation, because they rose to prominence in the Upper Realm and later became famous around the same time.

Take Jun Changxiao, for example.

He was very young now and belonged to his own time period. As he gradually aged and his cultivation became stronger, there would definitely be quite a few people of the same generation who would be collectively honored as seniors.

However, speaking of which, maintaining the same generation as Dog Sheng was really quite difficult, because just from the Lower Realm perspective, by the time he ascended to the Upper Realm and reached Revolution Core Stage, his peers were still lingering at the Martial King and Martial Emperor levels.

Due to the relationship between Profound Ancient True Person and Qingwei True Person, Jun Changxiao and Empress Lingyao could also be considered of the same generation. Combining this with the latter’s relationship with Night Emperor, the final conclusion was: A Niu was a generation lower.

The issue wasn’t major.

Ye Xingchen was Jun Changxiao’s disciple, so being a generation lower was quite normal.

No.

What does A Niu’s generation difference have to do with the main topic?

Dog Sheng’s daily persecution wasn’t enough—must the author add another stab with narration?

Back to the main topic.

Though Qingwei True Person was a woman, when it came to doing things, she could be called ruthlessly cruel.

Back when she first rose to prominence in the Upper Realm, because she was molested by a lecher, she directly bloodbathed his family, even destroying two sects that backed him, immediately causing enormous uproar.

The Realm Hall wouldn’t remain indifferent, so they dispatched powerhouses to capture her. The two sides fought intensely in Flying Ferry Valley for three days and nights, ultimately ending with Qingwei True Person slaying several Revolution Core Stage powerhouses and departing at her leisure.

This matter rapidly fermented and spread far and wide.

It could be said that at the time, the Realm Hall’s authority suffered serious impact. For this reason, they directly classified Qingwei True Person as a rebel, and in the following several thousand years launched a continent-wide manhunt.

This period of history—Profound Ancient True Person and Chess Sage True Person witnessed it.

Qingwei True Person had exceptional natural talent. Though trapped in the Realm Hall’s endless pursuit, she still continuously broke through and continuously improved, until she crossed into the Truth-Seeking Realm. Only then did various big shots come forward to mediate and resolve the long-standing grudge.

Setting aside whether the matter of destroying families and sects was right or wrong, just from this one could see the most realistic portrayal of martial supremacy—that is, the weak get bullied, and the strong get respected.

Fortunately, Jun Changxiao had just arrived in the Upper Realm and already latched onto a big-shot master. Otherwise, destroying a sect and publicly announcing it was his doing would definitely provoke the Realm Hall’s serious displeasure, escalating the problem and perhaps eventually even getting slapped with the rebel label wouldn’t be strange.

“Senior.”

Empress Lingyao explained: “Master doesn’t restrict junior from doing anything, even if it’s becoming a Realm Hall member.”

Profound Ancient True Person narrowed his eyes: “Girl, your master is very petty. How could she agree to let you work for the Realm Hall?”

Empress Lingyao said: “Senior has misunderstood. The Realm Hall and junior don’t have a superior-subordinate relationship. I’ve merely taken on an insignificant position internally.”

“The Realm Hall isn’t broad-minded either. Since they dared to employ you, I’m afraid they don’t know you’re Qingwei True Person’s disciple, right?” Profound Ancient True Person’s gaze shifted from murky to gradually sharp, as if he’d already seen through everything.

“They don’t know.”

Empress Lingyao answered truthfully.

“Tsk tsk.”

Profound Ancient True Person said: “Though your master resolved her grudge with the Realm Hall, they still see each other unfavorably. Yet you hold a position there—I’m afraid there’s another purpose behind it.”

“When Master first entered the martial world, she was maliciously molested. In a rage, she destroyed his family—this was a natural and justified matter, yet the Realm Hall labeled her a rebel. She can swallow this grievance, but I, as her disciple, cannot.” Empress Lingyao said.

“A bit messy, a bit messy.”

Profound Ancient True Person scratched his head: “Let me sort this out.”

“Senior possesses great cultivation and surely great wisdom as well. Junior won’t beat around the bush—my reason for infiltrating the Realm Hall is to overthrow it and obtain justice for Master.” Empress Lingyao’s tone remained without any fluctuation throughout.

Profound Ancient True Person had already guessed this, but was just playing dumb. Seeing her admit it so frankly, he asked curiously: “So, what’s your real purpose in finding me?”

“The world only knows the Realm Hall manages the entire Upper Realm, but doesn’t know it’s secretly controlled by the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects. Junior hopes to gain Senior’s support.” Empress Lingyao said.

“Girl.”

Profound Ancient True Person said: “Do you think I, a mere wandering cultivator, can contend with the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects?”

“One person cannot, but a group can.”

“Hahaha.”

Profound Ancient True Person laughed heartily: “This old man has lived so long and has never seen such an audacious girl!”

“You.”

He paused, then said: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Realm Hall?”

“I’m not.”

“Why?”

“Because Senior’s disciple Jun Changxiao and I are the same type of person. When his wings are full, he will inevitably clash with the Realm Hall. At that time, Senior won’t just face the various ethnic groups, but also the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects that control the Upper Realm’s life and death.”

“…”

The corner of Profound Ancient True Person’s mouth twitched.

He wasn’t afraid of the Realm Hall on the surface—after all, their overall strength was pathetically weak. But the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects—unless his realm went up another level, he couldn’t handle even one. If that bastard provoked them, the problem would definitely be more serious than offending the various races.

The energy level of a single Immortal-rank sect—Profound Ancient True Person didn’t know, but he knew that the lone ones could never beat those in groups.

“Senior.”

Empress Lingyao said: “Your disciple’s destruction of Fuqian Sect stems from the mine vein. Junior has already investigated clearly. The Realm Hall can’t find fault, so you can rest assured.”

“…”

Since this girl had already investigated clearly and still specially came to find him, she truly had the heart to destroy the Realm Hall. Qingwei True Person’s disciple was even crazier than she was back in the day.

“Of course.”

Empress Lingyao continued: “Junior doesn’t necessarily need to pull Senior in. This visit is just to tell you that we’ll eventually stand on the same battle line facing the same enemy.”

“You’re certain my disciple will inevitably clash with the Realm Hall?” Profound Ancient True Person said.

“Senior, have you heard of Starry Sky Fortress?”

“I have.”

“Your disciple blew it up.”

“Ah?”

Profound Ancient True Person’s eyeballs immediately bulged wide.

Empress Lingyao said: “As everyone knows, the Realm Hall created Starry Sky Fortress in the Lower Realm to imprison rebels. Jun Changxiao blew it up—equivalent to openly provoking the Realm Hall’s authority. If the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects investigate, the problem will likely be serious.”

“…”

Profound Ancient True Person’s expression became spectacular.

“Because they fear Senior’s prestige, the Realm Hall has consistently practiced turning major matters into minor ones, and minor ones into nothing.”

Empress Lingyao said: “But if in the future Jun Changxiao does something else intolerable, when the accumulated contradictions completely explode, the Ten Great Immortal-rank sects should come forward to demand an explanation from you.”

“…”

Profound Ancient True Person thought darkly: “I regret taking him as a disciple!”
