There was no other reason. In the Divine Martial Sect, ordinary disciples like them only received a few taels of silver every month. It was not a lot, but it was too little. They could only eat a meal of this standard without spending for three months.

These people suddenly became so generous. It was obvious that they had received benefits.

“Looks like my guess is right. There’s indeed something fishy about these guys. Everyone, perk up and keep a close eye on them.”

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a few people in blue robes walked in and walked straight to the place where the provocative disciples had done.

Bai Mingxuan frowned.

“Green-blue clothes, aren’t they from the Azure Cloud Sect? No wonder these guys suddenly became so abnormal.” Liu Chuan asked in confusion.

“Brother Bai, why did this person from the Azure Cloud Sect come to our Divine Martial Sect?”

Bai Mingxuan explained, “Our Divine Martial Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect have never been on good terms. It can even be said that we have a grudge.”

Liu Chuan was very excited when he heard this.

“Brother Bai, what are we waiting for? Since the Azure Cloud Sect has a grudge against us, if we capture the people from the Azure Cloud Sect, can we contribute?”

Bai Mingxuan shook his head.

“It’s not that simple. It’s not easy to capture them, but what reason should we use? The Azure Cloud Sect came to the foot of the Divine Martial Sect for a meal and we captured their people because of this?”

When Liu Chuan heard this, he scratched his head and smiled.

Liu Yang narrowed his eyes and asked.

“I saw them clearly just now. The people from the Azure Sky Sect gave those people a money bag under the table. It looks like it’s not light. We’re too far away, so we can’t hear what they say.”

Bai Mingxuan shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if we can’t hear them, it doesn’t matter what they say. At the very least, we know who’s targeting Shengtian.”

“Let’s go back and inform the Divine Envoy first. We still need the instructions of the Divine Tree.”

After Bai Mingxuan finished speaking, he left with his brothers.

After returning to their residence, the brothers lay down together and prepared to sleep.

Gu Xiao had almost developed a habit now. Every night, he had to check if his believers had anything to report to him. Therefore, almost every night, the Divine Envoy would visit every believer’s dream as scheduled.

Bai Mingxuan explained the situation to Gu Xiao.

“I understand. No matter what, you have to be careful. Since the Azure Cloud Sect dares to challenge the Divine Martial Sect, they must be powerful. Just don’t let anyone catch you red-handed.”

When Bai Mingxuan and the others heard this, they were excited. The Divine Envoy’s words were already very obvious. He wanted them to do their best as long as they did not leave any evidence.

After they woke up, they immediately began to discuss.

Liu Shengtian said to everyone, “Brothers, thank you for your help.”

Liu Yang smiled and shook his head. “Are you kidding me? The three of us have the same surname and are all from the same village. Brother Bai has even become Lord Divine Tree’s believer before us. However, we treat him like our own younger brother. Isn’t it a little too unorthodox for you to thank him now?”

When Liu Shengtian heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Well, I just want to try my best to express my gratitude.”

Bai Mingxuan smiled. “Alright, alright. Thank you. You don’t have to say such things in the future.”

As he spoke, he took out a stone from his pocket.

“This is a Recording Stone. As long as you inject spiritual qi and point it in the right direction, you can record everything that happened in front of you.”

“As long as those guys dare to secretly meet the people of the Azure Cloud Sect next time, we can take this stone and record them down. This is the evidence.”

“With this evidence, even if we attack the Azure Cloud Sect, even if the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect personally comes and sees the scene recorded, he will be speechless.”

When the three Liu brothers heard this, they rubbed their fists and revealed very kind smiles. They were just waiting for the next time those scumbags secretly met the people from the Azure Cloud Sect.

For the next three days, those people came to provoke him every day. However, regardless of whether it was their enthusiasm for provocation or time, it was greatly shortened.

In the past three days, they had not left the Divine Martial Sect or gone down the mountain to meet with the people of the Azure Cloud Sect. Bai Mingxuan and the others had not been able to find an opportunity, but on the fourth day, news arrived.

The people who provoked them were all dead.

Not only did they die, but they also died in a miserable manner. These people had died from a type of spiritual parasite. After the parasite was planted, it could quickly hide in a person’s body, and controlling the spiritual parasite required the person who planted the parasite to achieve their goal with just a thought.

The parasites would reproduce rapidly in the human body. In almost half an hour, the parasites that reproduced in the body would quickly eat the internal organs of the deceased, leaving only an empty shell.

Those provocateurs had died just like that. However, they diverted all the attention to Liu Shengtian.

Most people thought that it must be Liu Shengtian who killed those disciples. Liu Shengtian did not have the confidence to defeat them in a challenge, so he used such a despicable move.

Once rumors circulated, they were extremely terrifying. Even Bai Mingxuan and the others were shocked. Of course, they didn’t believe that Liu Shengtian would do such a thing.

Soon, the elders of the sect came to take Liu Shengtian away under the orders of the sect master. Under everyone’s gazes, Liu Shengtian was brought to the sect master. However, in less than an incense stick of time, Liu Shengtian returned.

The reason for Liu Shengtian’s return quickly spread throughout the sect. This spiritual parasite was not planted by Liu Shengtian at all. This spiritual parasite was planted by the Demon Sect, which had a hundred years of enmity with the Divine Martial Sect.

Bai Mingxuan and the others did not expect things to develop so quickly. It was already a headache to involve the Divine Martial Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect. Now, there was also the Demon Sect. This was not something the few of them could resolve. Therefore, when they entered the dream at night, they mentioned this matter to the Divine Envoy again.

After Gu Xiao heard this, he thought about it carefully. Although he did not know what the purpose of this was, he might be able to think of a plan to help break the situation.

Gu Xiao told them about his plan…

The next day, although the sect master and elders had already investigated and understood that the spiritual parasite had nothing to do with Liu Shengtian, rumors were like this. Before the root cause was resolved, rumors would always give rise to various versions and then grow wings and fly away with the wind.

Many people spread the rumors vividly. When everyone was eating together, Liu Chuan even told the others that Liu Shengtian was simply too sinister. He was despised by everyone and simply embarrassed them, the people of the vast Great Desolate.

Not only that, but Liu Chuan also mentioned some of the bad things that Liu Shengtian had done when he was young. For example, he suppressed children younger than him and prevented them from cultivating. He also snatched spirit stones from people weaker than him for his cultivation.

In the eyes of cultivators, this kind of thing was neither big nor small. In the eyes of cultivators, it was a hindrance to their cultivation. Merchants often said that cutting off one’s path to wealth was like killing one’s parents.

Cultivators, on the other hand, had to change their cultivation path to that of adults. It was like killing an entire family!

No wonder Liu Chuan had turned against Liu Shengtian. This action stunned the other disciples of the Divine Martial Sect.
