"We were unaware of Senior Sister's arrival. Please forgive us for our ignorance!"
One of the Taoist priests stepped forward, bowed, and apologized.
These young Taoists were clearly inferior to Fang Qingxue in status and cultivation, and they had not cultivated to the realm of supernatural powers. Otherwise, they would not have ridden cranes, but would have directly used their magic power to fly through the air.
Not to mention, Fang Qingxue was already the chief disciple of the true lineage, second only to a few people and above tens of thousands.
Looking at the group of people trembling like quails, Fang Han knew perfectly well that their cultivation was at most at the seventh or eighth level of the Physical Body Realm, yet they had arrived on cranes, carefree and at ease.
The Feathered Ascension Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a righteous sect!
"You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment!"
Fang Qingxue frowned, her face expressionless, and looked at the outer disciples not far in front of her, letting out a cold snort.
She stood up, and in a flash, her body floated in the air, her whole body swirling with energy, her white clothes fluttering, and purple lightning crackling and spreading three zhang away from her.
An aura of dominance over heaven and earth, brooking no disrespect from anything, emanated from her.
At that moment, Fang Han felt that Fang Qingxue was like a sharp sword, standing straight up, as if she could pierce a hole in the sky.
A thumbs up!
A blade of light, a bolt of dark lightning, swept across the sky, swallowing heaven and earth, stirring the sun and moon, and a powerful electric current pierced through the void, slaying everything in its path.
Sizzle!
Countless lightning-streaked blades leaped and slashed down like bolts of lightning, severing the arms of the young Taoists before they could react.
"Ah... Thank you, Senior Sister, for sparing my life!"
The young Taoist priest who was leading the group cried out in pain, clutching his severed arm. His face turned deathly pale, and he was burning with rage, but dared not retaliate.
True disciples are personally appointed by the sect leader, holding a high status and wielding the power of life and death over both inner and outer disciples.
In other words, if Fang Qingxue were to kill them all here, they would have died in vain, and she would not be blamed in the slightest.
Therefore, Fang Qingxue showed mercy and only cut off one of their arms. Instead of resentment, they were grateful to their senior sister for sparing their lives.
"What is tyranny? What is power? This is it! Looking down upon the world, treating all things as mere weeds!"
"The true disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect are indeed extraordinary! This time, I have finally witnessed Fang Qingxue's prowess!"
"The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is being demonstrated to the fullest extent!"
"One day, I too will possess this kind of domineering, arrogant power that looks down upon the world!"
Fang Han, who had been observing the scene with a cold eye, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, gaining a more thorough understanding of the ruthlessness of the cultivation world.
Let's go!
After establishing her authority, Fang Qingxue remained unmoved, landed, and returned to the carriage.
...
After a brief hiccup, the group quickly entered the Feathered Gate and arrived at Fang Qingxue's territory.
This is a mountain peak that is thousands of feet high, covered with evergreen pines and cypresses, waterfalls and springs, and palaces standing tall on the mountainside and between the peaks.
At the very top of that extremely high mountain peak, there is a shimmering, azure-blue Heavenly Lake, and beside the Heavenly Lake stands an even more magnificent palace.
Cranes, iron-winged roc, golden-crowned eagle, white deer, white tiger, jade rabbit, peacock and other mythical birds and beasts roam around the mountain.
Countless fields of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are scattered throughout the mountains, producing tens of thousands of medicinal herbs.
"Purple Lightning Palace!"
These three large characters are engraved on the plaque at the main entrance of the mountain palace.
This is an important peak in the Immortal Ascension Mountain, Purple Lightning Peak. It was bestowed upon Fang Qingxue by the Immortal Ascension Sect after she became a true disciple, and it is also a symbol of her status.
At this moment, Fang Qingxue sat on a chair in the Zidian Palace, looking down at the eight or nine hundred servants below, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Although this Purple Lightning Peak is my property, I am focused on cultivation and will soon be going into seclusion. Once I go into seclusion, it usually lasts for several months or even half a year, so I don't have time to manage my household."
"With so many servants, I'll select a few reliable ones to manage them."
"Fang Han, your ability to cultivate your physical body to the tenth level without the guidance of a master is enough to demonstrate your extraordinary talent!"
"How about this, you become the chief steward of my Purple Lightning Peak and manage these businesses for me!"
"Of course, if you want to become an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or even a true disciple, I will never stop you; on the contrary, I would be happy to see you succeed!"
What do you think?
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was startled and turned their gazes to Fang Han.
"Yes, Miss!"
Fang Han thought about it and didn't refuse.
"As expected, he gained the young lady's favor and went from a horse-breeding servant to the head steward, directly in charge of 250 people. His status has risen rapidly."
Within the original Fang family, it would have been impossible for Fang Han to rise from a lowly servant to the head steward overnight, because the Fang family had strict rules and a system of rewards and punishments. Moreover, the relationships within the family were complex and intertwined; even if Fang Han had made contributions, it would have been impossible for him to climb to such a high position.
However, things were different at the Purple Lightning Peak of the Feathered Transformation Sect. Fang Qingxue was focused on cultivation and didn't spend much energy managing family affairs, so she was directly appointed and promoted beyond the usual ranks.
"What happened?"
