Chapter 266: Chapter 266

Therefore, if she had to choose between the two, Hei Xue naturally hoped that someone else would become the alliance leader. Of course, the best outcome would be if no alliance leader was chosen at all, as this would make it easiest to stir up conflicts with no possibility of unity.

Even if there was no alliance leader, she could still destroy sects like the Azure Dragon Society and frame others for it, which would equally provoke conflicts.

But regardless of the situation, the Azure Dragon Society and similar sects would be eliminated by Hei Xue. Even without a good reason, she could find an excuse. This was her style, achieving her goals by any means necessary.

For this reason, Hei Xue began to meticulously arrange her originally half-hearted instigation campaign. This caused even greater rifts within the Orthodox Alliance, with friction between sects growing increasingly severe.

If these people knew that their misfortune was mainly due to Xiaoyao, they would certainly feel depressed. However, the most depressed would be the members of the Azure Dragon Society and similar sects, who could never imagine that because of Xiaoyao, an insignificant figure, their thousand-year foundations would be destroyed in an instant.

Although Xiaoyao knew that Dongfang Wuqing was the Demon Cult's undercover agent, he didn't expose her or reveal that the Demon Cult was here sowing discord. He simply didn't care about such matters. The Demon Cult didn't necessarily represent evil, and famous orthodox sects weren't necessarily righteous, otherwise incidents like Feng Hai's wouldn't have occurred.

Surely, while Feng Hai's incident was an isolated case, it definitely wasn't the only one.

Xiaoyao's previous disruption of Demon Cult affairs was purely due to circumstances, not a deliberate attempt to sabotage the Demon Cult. Therefore, regarding today's events, he certainly wouldn't interfere. He only reminded Princess Ke Xin not to participate in these matters, then continued reading medical texts...

After Xiaoyao completed his studies at Medicine Immortal Ridge and discussed medical principles with veteran experts like Tian Yi, feeling there was nothing more to gain, half a month had already passed. The Martial Arts Assembly was still ongoing at that time, as no conclusion had been reached.

Xiaoyao couldn't possibly wait here for them to finish. As for those people guarding him outside, they posed no real difficulty. So he left alone, only bidding farewell to Princess Ke Xin.

At that time, Princess Ke Xin seemed about to say something, but in the end only said three words, "Take care."

After Xiaoyao left, Princess Ke Xin said to herself, "I must work hard. I must quickly break through to Emperor Level and catch up to their pace."

Several more days passed, and Princess Ke Xin also departed. This wasn't her leaving alone, but Yue Qingling taking her away. At that time, the Martial Arts Assembly still had no results, but Yue Qingling no longer wanted to continue wasting time there.

These people only knew how to fight for power and profit. Even if they reached a conclusion this time, they would likely find it difficult to cooperate effectively. Rather than joining them to fight the Demon Cult, it would be better to go alone.

On the battlefield, what's most feared isn't how fierce the enemy is, nor how harsh the environment is, but being dragged down by incomprehensible allies who would harm you for their own benefit.

At that time, Yue Qingling left with one statement, saying only that Gentle Breeze Manor would support whatever alliance leader they chose.

Support, whether spiritual or superficial, nobody knew. Full support was certainly out of the question...

Actually, Yue Qingling had come here originally to give Princess Ke Xin some experience, not to see the results. Because of this, when Princess Ke Xin was in danger, she was incredibly regretful, thinking she shouldn't have come here.

Fortunately, Xiaoyao appeared and rescued Princess Ke Xin, which improved her mood somewhat and made her persist here for so long. Otherwise, she would have left long ago.

Because of this incident, Yue Qingling actually helped Dongfang Wuqing at times, but she only wanted to eliminate some enemies for Xiaoyao, not genuinely help Dongfang Wuqing.

If she had known that Dongfang Wuqing was from the Demon Cult, perhaps she still would have supported her, but only limited to this matter, since this aligned with her original purpose anyway.

The final result of the Martial Arts Assembly was no result. They only agreed to hold it again next year, spending this year devising a plan that everyone could accept.

At the same time, they weren't entirely without achievements. At least they formed a defensive alliance, if any of them were attacked by the Demon Cult, everyone would help resist. This was the only thing everyone agreed upon.

What if it wasn't a Demon Cult attack? This question wasn't discussed, not because they forgot, but because they deliberately avoided discussing it. Wars between sects were too common, and no one wanted others to interfere, nor did they want to interfere in others' affairs.

However, under such circumstances, all sects would presumably temporarily cease their grudges and conflicts, at least until several years passed without the Demon Cult appearing before they would begin fighting again. This was something no one could prevent.

Soon, everyone discovered that this thinking was wrong for others. Someone conducted a sect annihilation operation during this time, and it wasn't just one sect.

Of course, this referred to the Azure Dragon Society and other sects. This was the Demon Cult's doing under Hei Xue's orders, though others didn't know this and only knew about the major sects that the Demon Cult had impersonated.

The Azure Dragon Society and other sects ultimately couldn't escape being annihilated, not even one person escaped. This was also Hei Xue's order, not to let anyone go, including those who were away.

Because Hei Xue feared that among these people, some might still harbor thoughts of revenge against Xiaoyao. Even very weak people could potentially pose a threat, and she wouldn't allow Xiaoyao to face such danger.

A thousand li away in the southern part of the Great Tang Empire, in a military camp, three beautiful young women were playfully teasing each other. This seemed highly unlikely in a military camp and shouldn't occur.

Generally, when such situations arose, it was due to officers with special backgrounds who came to the army merely to gain experience and had no serious intentions about military service, still thinking only of pleasure.

Usually such people couldn't enjoy themselves for long, as they would soon be dealt with by military law. Although they were allowed to come gain experience, violations of military regulations and discipline weren't permitted. The Great Tang Empire's army would never tolerate such things, no matter how powerful their backing.

However, in this current location, no one dared to discipline them, because these three young women were actually the highest-ranking commanders in this army. They weren't women called over for entertainment, this was simply them playing among themselves. Regarding soldiers' own recreation and play, no one could interfere, especially since it didn't affect anyone else.

Near the military camp where these three young women were stationed, there wasn't a single male soldier, all were female soldiers. However, these female soldiers rarely went into battle. Their existence was only to protect and accompany these three young women, otherwise the three would have to face a group of men, which would make them somewhat uncomfortable.

These female soldiers were the three young women's personal guards. Their numbers weren't large, just a few dozen, but they made the three young women much more comfortable. Compared to when they first arrived, they felt this arrangement was excellent.

These female soldiers weren't entirely useless ornaments either. Among them were experts who could go to battle, though generally they weren't needed. When necessary, they would still fight.

There weren't many young women in the Great Tang Empire's army who could have such status. The ones that came to mind were only two people: Nangong Suxin and Mo Yu.

Indeed, these three young women were exactly them, with the third naturally being Third Miss Nangong Su.

"This is so boring. We've conquered all the nearby areas, and now no one dares provoke us. There's nothing to fight," After playing to exhaustion, the Young Miss lay on the ground complaining. "Nangong Suxin, how about we go have a few fights."

"Alright." Nangong Suxin nodded.

"Don't. Don't you know your destructive power in combat? I don't want to relocate the military camp again. Even if you fight now, you won't gain anything. You understand each other too well, and your cultivation levels have reached a bottleneck that's very difficult to break through." Third Miss Nangong immediately stopped them both. As she said, their destructive power was too great, and when they fought, they didn't know when to stop.

Currently, both had reached the late stage of Emperor Level, just one step away from Emperor Level peak. One could imagine how great their destructive power was.

"No good, I need to break through. Let's find a country to fight..." the Young Miss said. If ordinary people heard this statement, they would definitely kneel in worship.

Find a country to fight, what kind of concept was this? Now when she made a move, it was against entire countries.

"All the countries nearby that could be fought have already been conquered by you. Any others would be ones you can't attack, Besides, your cultivation level is already high enough. You've broken through again these past two years and reached late Emperor Level." Third Miss Nangong said.

Having conquered several countries and experienced so many battles, both the Young Miss and Nangong Suxin had broken through. Each time they would charge to the very front in combat, naturally gaining more insights between life and death, making their breakthroughs faster.

Not everyone could learn from this approach. Besides having good fortune, they also had Xiaoyao's pills as guarantee, otherwise they would have died on the battlefield long ago. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFirｅ.net

It was precisely because of their fearless cultivation that the army swept forward like an unstoppable force, conquering several great nations within two years.

Of course, this also involved Third Miss Nangong's strategies, which allowed the two to perform at their best while mobilizing the entire army's strongest capabilities.

In fact, Third Miss Nangong almost single-handedly determined the outcome of battles, but the role of the Young Miss and her companion was also crucial. Therefore, one could only say both aspects were very important and indispensable.

Such high cultivation levels would be sufficient for many people, especially since the Young Miss and her companion were only in their early twenties, which should be even more satisfying. But the Young Miss herself wasn't satisfied, and neither was Nangong Suxin.

Their dissatisfaction stemmed from only one reason, which was—
