Chapter 926: Chapter 860: Sword South Path Will Sooner or Later Belong to My Cloud Mountain Ethereal Palace!
“No, please…”
“I’m going to break~I’m going to break~”
In the room, Officer Bi looked at the eight female disciples of the Ethereal Palace of Cloud Mountain. Except for Li Xuebai, who showed so skills and barely held on through the third round, the others couldn’t withstand more than two rounds.
At this mont, the eight female disciples lay on the ground, drenched in fragrant sweat.
They knew that so abilities in this world could be used against n, but they never imagined that so abilities could also be used against won.
Feeling their bodies go limp and boneless, the seven female disciples revealed everything they knew about the Ethereal Palace of Cloud Mountain.
After Officer Bi recorded all the information, he looked towards the last female disciple, Li Xuebai.
Among the eight disciples, she was the only one who still had a sliver of rationality left, though it was on the verge of breaking.
“Li Xuebai, is there sothing you haven’t confessed yet?”
Li Xuebai glanced at Officer Bi, her eyes, which were previously hazy, suddenly becoming sharp.
“I want to beco your disciple.”
For the first ti, a look of gravity appeared on Officer Bi’s face under the mask.
He was sure he hadn’t heard wrong; this female disciple, interrogated the entire night to the point of even her undergarnts being examined, actually wanted to beco his disciple!?
“Why?”
“I want to beco stronger!”
“Why do you want to beco stronger?”
Li Xuebai glanced at her fellow sisters lying almost unresponsive on the ground, and said to Officer Bi: “I bear a deep blood feud. I not only want to save my family but also save this world.”
Officer Bi smiled as he approached Li Xuebai, gently caressing her face.
“Save the world? Such grand ambition? Then let’s see how much benevolence and malice from this world your will and spirit can endure.”
In the next mont, countless fantasies flooded Li Xuebai’s mind.
Li Xuebai felt as if her soul was being torn apart at that mont.
She was a princess married off to another country, forced to yield under the savage’s storm for the sake of her nation.
She was a female general on the battlefield, defeated and captured by the enemy, suffering humiliation.
She was also the eldest lady of a prestigious family, but her family fell into decline, leaving her in disgrace.
…
These were evidently different life experiences, yet she could simultaneously feel them in this mont for so reason.
As her consciousness slowly faded, Li Xuebai felt her soul dissipating amid the reverberations and whispers.
Officer Bi gazed at Li Xuebai, who had fainted but whose body still convulsed slightly.
“Everyone thinks they are the protagonist of the world, but unfortunately, many are not. You aren’t, and perhaps, neither am I.”
Officer Bi left the room with all the intelligence about Ethereal Palace of Cloud Mountain recorded, seeking Zhang San.
On the way, he encountered Officer Wei, who had spent the night studying the Outer God’s pollution on martial artists.
Officer Wei waved weakly at Officer Bi as a greeting.
“What’s wrong? Skipped breakfast?”
Officer Wei gave a bitter laugh.
“Honestly, it’s my first ti in the morning not wanting breakfast. I can’t even stomach seeing elbow at. That polluted martial artist’s corpse is beyond words. But you seem quite spirited!”
Officer Bi smiled proudly, saying, “Interrogating a female prisoner all night long, indeed, won are much more interesting than n.”
Officer Wei watched Officer Bi’s retreating figure, vaguely recalling that she once said, “n are much more interesting than won,” too, didn’t she?
Officer Bi t Zhang San and handed him a large file that looked like a scroll.
Zhang San, seeing the scroll-like docunt prepared by Officer Bi, initially thought it was so Secret Manual confessed by a disciple of the Ethereal Palace.
Upon opening it, he was taken aback.
The entire scroll unfolded into a vast architectural diagram of the Ethereal Palace of Cloud Mountain.
At the very top center was the Palace Master Gong Jing, with twelve Supre Elders above her, said to have powerful combat abilities, nearing the Purple Mansion Realm, and possibly with one or two already there.
Beneath Gong Jing were her dozen or so direct disciples.
The nas of the eight who were interrogated last night were circled individually.
On par with these disciples were the other elders in the palace.
These elders’ disciples, along with Gong Jing’s other disciples, ford the core disciples of the Ethereal Palace’s core strength.
These disciples seldom appeared in Sword South Path.
Once they did, they undoubtedly beca fairy-like figures, admired by countless n.
Below them were the internal sect disciples, the basic managers of the Ethereal Palace.
Although they couldn’t access the many resources that core disciples could for cultivation improvent, they held certain authority, responsible for managing and liaising with external disciples.
The most nurous were the base-level disciples of the palace.
Most of these disciples were adopted and nurtured by the Ethereal Palace.
Those with aptitude and talent might beco internal sect disciples, and then further sifted.
Those without aptitude or talent remained in the outer sect, receiving special abilities training, then sent out to marry into various martial forces, whether as wives or concubines.
As long as they provided intelligence and aid to the Ethereal Palace, that was enough.
Hearing this, Zhang San realized that his previous information only depicted the Ethereal Palace as a martial power gaining influence through recruiting female disciples, now seeing it akin to a brothel in so respects.
Moreover, Zhang San felt that a sect comprised of won would at least have so mbers wishing to counter fate and reshape the world’s stereotype of won.
Yet the current structure revealed that outer disciples rely leeched off others and used the absorbed resources to support the core disciples of the sect.
To prevent external oppression of these won, the Ethereal Palace chose to exploit them itself.
Zhang San was at his wit’s end.
“So, what is the purpose of sending eight direct disciples to approach this ti? Surely they don’t intend to forge so marriage alliance?”
Officer Bi chuckled, replying, “Simply seeking to gain valuable intelligence, given that our Town Martial Office is the strongest in Sword South Path. If soone remains beside the Deputy Chief, they naturally get access to lots of intel and might even influence your decisions and thoughts at tis.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang San asked curiously, “So does the Ethereal Palace have so mind-bending Techniques or sothing?”
Officer Bi shook his head, sighing, “No Techniques for swaying decisions, purely relies on beauty.”
Zhang San was at a loss for words.
“Initially, I didn’t intend to act against the Ethereal Palace, keeping it in check seed acceptable. However, now is the ti to unite all forces. The ergence of such a disruptive elent is undesirable. Do we know which martial forces the outer disciples have infiltrated?”
Officer Bi stated, “Only a small part is known, but so confessed by these direct disciples revealed connections with certain internal sect disciples. We can obtain the foreign disciple lists from them.”
“If there’s a way, then proceed. I have only one requirent; make the Ethereal Palace descend into chaos to avoid interfering with our matters.”
“Yes, Deputy Chief!”
anwhile, Gong Jing returned to the Ethereal Palace, overjoyed to see a new batch of recruits.
With only a dozen or so direct disciples, placing eight directly by Zhang San’s side this ti was noteworthy.
Even if Zhang San is picky and rejects more than half, two or three could still remain beside him.
Should these two or three effectively wield influence, then the future restraint of modesty might be moot:
Within Sword South Path, the Palace Master dictates all.
Beyond Sword South Path, the Palace Master remains formidable!
