Chapter 565: Chapter 513: Don’t Dare to Ask!
There was no denying that the alliance with Pei Xuanjing had allowed Baiyun Temple to rapidly elevate itself over these decades, with powerful experts continually emerging and their strength increasing by a manifold. Although this was the mutual agreement during the formation of the alliance, when they really received such benefits, Daoist Xuanming knew that they owed significant gratitude to Pei Xuanjing.
But now, Pei Xuanjing was too powerful, so powerful that it suffocates people. His current fame is spread among countless martial artists, who regard him as a saint.
One could say, while they view Taoism as an alliance, from the perspective of outsiders and some regular disciples, Taoism is a whole entity, and the leader of this entity, the supreme ruler, is the undeniable Pei Xuanjing.
This made Daoist Xuanming and those elders behind him somewhat panicked, as they could still hold firm now, stabilizing the hearts of the sect’s disciples.
But if this situation continues, just over a few decades more, a new generation of juniors who hold Pei Xuanjing in high esteem will rise, and the entire Taoist School will inevitably have to submit to Pei Xuanjing. If Pei Xuanjing is willing, he could even reorganize the Taoist School, making it obedient to one person, similar to the Demonic Cult.
This was something Daoist Xuanming and many other experts could not bear. The Baiyun Temple has a heritage of thousands of years, and it is also a renowned Great Taoist School. They might temporarily let go of the leadership of Taoist School, but they are unwilling to let Baiyun Temple become someone else’s subordinate, and might even vanish completely.
Would Pei Xuanjing really decide to unify the Taoist School?
In Daoist Xuanming’s view, there was a high possibility.
After the rise of the Shenxiao Sect, ever since that Feather Guest from Jinmen developed the Shenxiao Sect to its peak, he not only led the Taoist School with the Shenxiao Sect but also wanted to suppress the Buddhism School and Demonic Way. This was no secret to anyone.
