Zhou Yuanbai looked at the token in Cheng Ling's hand in disbelief. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was stunned for a while before he realized what he was saying. He said in surprise: "Brother Cheng, you...you actually have the Sword Dao Token. Could it be..." .....Are you also a descendant of an ancient sword cultivator?"
Cheng Ling secretly thought that he had been practicing swordsmanship since Canglan Continent. He first met Mr. Yuan Ling in the Sword Tomb, and the swordsmanship order in his hand also came from him. After becoming a swordsman, he promised to revive the swordsmanship civilization. For one fate.
After ascending to the immortal world, he entered the ruins of the Sword Sect and obtained inheritance and heaven-defying secrets. This was two fates. Speaking of which, there is indeed an inextricable relationship between himself and the swordsmanship civilization.
He then said: "Although I am not a descendant of the bloodline of ancient sword cultivators, I have received their inheritance. This swordsmanship order was passed down to me by a descendant of ancient sword cultivators!"
Zhou Yuanbai said happily: "No matter what, the heirs of the Sword Sect will recognize orders but not others. As long as this swordsmanship order is in Brother Cheng's hands, you will be one of the swordsmen recognized by the Chaoyang Temple, with supreme rights and status."
"Brother Cheng, I would like to bring up old matters again and invite you to the Chaoyang Temple again."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I still have a lot of things to do."
Zhou Yuanbai glanced at him and said: "Brother Cheng, to be disrespectful, with your current cultivation level, even if your combat power is amazing, you are still unable to roam freely in the Zhongyuan Continent. I understand that over the years, you were first He was forced to leave the Wuji Sect, and was subsequently hunted down by all the major sects.”
"During this period, he disappeared for nearly a month. He must have been hiding somewhere and concentrating on practicing, and then he raised his cultivation to the peak of Tianzun. But so what, after appearing, he was hunted down again. If it weren't for a coincidence, After being rescued by my little brother, I’m afraid it will be difficult to escape unscathed, right?”
"The world of monasticism is such a reality. If you don't become an Immortal Emperor, you will always be an ant. Who can you tell anyone if you let others bully you wantonly? And after so many years, you probably don't know the situation on Zhongyuan Continent now. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be useless. It’s time to establish a cone.”
Cheng Ling was stunned and asked: "What happened in Zhongyuan Continent? I have been practicing in seclusion for the past sixty years and have no time to worry about it. Could it be that the Luochen Sword Sect has encountered a strong enemy?"
Zhou Yuanbai sighed and said: "Brother Cheng, please rest assured that the Luochen Sword Sect is currently fine, but I dare not say anything further. Jiang Haoyang will one day take action against them."
"What, Jiang Haoyang?" Cheng Ling was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with him?"
Zhou Yuanbai said: "I know that Jiang Haoyang is Brother Cheng's master in the Wuji Sect. This person is usually called a humble gentleman, and thus he got the title of a gentleman and the Immortal Emperor. However, his actions in recent years have shown extreme The deep scheming and ambition are really chilling.”
Cheng Ling wondered: "What happened?"
Zhou Yuanbai sorted it out for a moment, then spoke eloquently: "Eight years after the Battle of the Sea Clan, Immortal Emperor Void, the leader of the Wuji Sect, died. There are many theories about his death. Some said that the end of his life had come and he died naturally, while others said It is said that he died suddenly because he suffered severe hidden injuries in the battle with the Emperor Shark Ancestor."
"In short, there are various versions, and no one knows what the truth is."
"The Wuji Sect fell into chaos after losing its sect leader. Some immortal emperors in the sect who had been reclusive in the world appeared one after another, trying to compete for the position of sect leader. All parties were not convinced by each other, so they started fighting. The final result was naturally Both sides suffer, everyone has supporters, and no one can take advantage of it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Absolute advantage. This chaos lasted for five years, until a person appeared and things turned around. "
Cheng Ling asked: "Is it Jiang Haoyang?"
"Yes, after disappearing for decades, Jiang Haoyang returned to the Wuji Sect again, and his cultivation has advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage. He already has a very high reputation in the Wuji Sect, with many supporters, and the other Immortal Emperors are competing for him After several years, no one could come out on top, so several elders of the Wuji Sect weighed the situation and finally decided that he should inherit the position of sect leader."
Cheng Ling was silent. The scenes in Jiuyou Immortal Mansion flashed through his mind one after another. Jiang Haoyang had disappeared for many years. He must have been in seclusion to digest the energy of those immortals. Unexpectedly, he was directly promoted to the Immortal Emperor in one go.
He felt a little guilty. The Immortal Emperor of the Void had long expected these things and had made a ten-year agreement for this. Unfortunately, in order to find Yun Jingwen, he was first hunted by various sects, and then fell victim to Yun Jingshan's love-killing method. It took him a long time to become a mortal before he could fully recover.
In this way, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the Wuji Sect's chaos, at least for betraying the trust of the Immortal Emperor of the Void.
He sighed and asked, "What happened next?"
Zhou Yuanbai continued: "Since then, Jiang Haoyang has become the leader of Wuji Sect. In the first few years, Zhongyuan Continent was as calm as water, and all eyes were almost focused on Brother Cheng. As your master, Jiang Haoyang has never To put it bluntly, he just goes into seclusion and leaves even the trivial matters of the sect to be handled by his Taoist companion Yunmeng Xianzun and his disciples."
"It wasn't until ten years ago that the Junzi Immortal Emperor came out of seclusion and was promoted to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop. Brother Cheng, I have to say that the Master is indeed amazingly talented. In just fifty years, he was promoted from the One-star Immortal Emperor to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor. , I am afraid that such qualifications can be comparable to yours!"
Cheng Ling was also surprised and said: "So fast?"
"It's so fast, but there are many things that make people confused. In the past fifty years, the Wuji Sect has not made any waves. It is said that even with the support of the elders of the sect, Jiang Haoyang's position as the sect leader will not be very stable. After all, those hidden immortal emperors still have objections."
"But since Jiang Haoyang succeeded the sect master, all those hidden immortal emperors have disappeared without a single word of complaint. Brother Cheng, you were once a disciple of the Wuji Sect, but do you know the reason?"
Cheng Ling sighed secretly, I'm afraid those hidden immortal emperors either left or were killed by Jiang Haoyang. The Phaseless Devouring Technique can improve oneself by refining the energy and spirit of the monks. Jiang Haoyang's cultivation has improved so fast that he may have swallowed many powerful people in the Immortal Emperor stage.
It’s just that these are all his own speculations. There is no real evidence, so he can’t talk nonsense. He shook his head and said: "The Wuji Sect has a new sect leader, and it’s done. The hidden immortal emperors are discouraged and don’t want to cause more trouble. .Brother Zhou, please continue."
Zhou Yuanbai had an intuition that Cheng Ling should know something, but since the other party didn't tell him, he couldn't press him, so he could only let it go and said: "After Jiang Haoyang came out of seclusion, the Wuji Sect suddenly became monolithic. He changed his gentle temperament in the past and became extremely tough. "
"I don't know what means he used to form an alliance between Wuji Sect and Songfengguan. The external rhetoric is to enumerate the grievances between the Buddhist sect and the Taoist sect, and call on the people of the Taoist sect to unite and participate in the grand event to expel the Buddhist sect from the fairy world in one fell swoop. .”
"To this end, the two superpowers have formed an alliance. Jiang Haoyang claims to be the leader of the alliance. Songfengguan is willing to follow his lead. Only the Wuji Sect follows suit. As soon as this news was announced, almost the entire fairy world was shocked. The four superpowers have always fought against each other. What is Jiang Haoyang's role? How can you let
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Songfengguan surrenders? "
"Just when the major sects were confused, they realized that this was just the beginning. After the alliance, Wuji Sect and Songfengguan sent envoys to each sect, asking them to surrender together."
"At the beginning, there were still sects who resisted. Although the Wuji Sect and Songfengguan are powerful, they also have their own Taoist heritage. There is no need to become a flag-waving pawn, but the consequences of resistance are extremely serious."
"It's a bit unbelievable to say that after those sects clearly refused, the envoys of Wuji Sect and Songfengguan didn't feel embarrassed and just left. But not long after, the senior officials of those sects disappeared mysteriously one after another, no matter how they looked for them, they could not find them. There’s not even a trace, it’s like it disappeared into thin air.”
"This has been the case for several sects in a row. Now, those sects are beginning to be afraid. As long as the envoys from the Wuji Sect and Songfeng Temple come to visit, they all agree without any hesitation. Therefore, in just a few years, Over time, dozens of third- and fourth-rate sects have become vassals of the two superpowers."
"Their power expanded faster and faster, and they finally began to attack the second-rate sects and first-rate sects. At this moment, Brother Cheng appeared again, first causing a stir in the Piaomiao Snow Sect, and then plundering the Chiyang Sect and Lingyun Sect. There are more than ten sects such as Yunyan Sect, Ruixia Immortal Sect, etc. How can one of them be messed up?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said, "I have no intention of helping Jiang Haoyang. I just want to grab some cultivation resources."
Zhou Yuanbai said: "At first, Zhou was also suspicious. The timing of your appearance was too coincidental. Later, after analysis, I found out that it was not the case. At least you did not go on a killing spree, you just plundered the Immortal Crystals of those sects. Pulse, I must be repaying the hatred of being hunted before!"
Cheng Ling said: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If those guys weren't motivated by greed, why would I have suffered so much?"
Zhou Yuanbai asked: "What has Brother Cheng experienced in these many years?"
Cheng Ling sighed: "There's nothing to say. In short, everything Jiang Haoyang did has nothing to do with me. Can Brother Zhou believe it?"
Zhou Yuanbai smiled and said: "If I had doubts before, now I am 100% convinced."
"Why? Is it because I have a sword order?" Cheng Ling asked.
"The Swordsmanship Order is just one of them. I also believe in Brother Cheng's character. You have always been upright. If you do what you do, you do it. There is no need to lie to me." Zhou Yuanbai said.
Cheng Ling suddenly felt like a confidant and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder.
Zhou Yuanbai continued: "And according to the information I got, Jiang Haoyang has gathered all the second-rate forces, and has contacted the three first-rate forces of Piaomiao Snow Sect, Tiandao Sect, and Tianxin Pavilion. As for whether the three major forces agree, we will not give up. Got it."
"Under such circumstances, he allowed Songfengguan and the monks from other sects to pursue Brother Cheng. It can be imagined that he didn't care about your former disciple status at all, so how could he order you to plunder those sects?" door resources.”
Cheng Ling sighed deeply. He had already noticed Jiang Haoyang's ambition and had always been cautious, for fear of causing unnecessary conflicts. Therefore, the two of them are still master and apprentice in name, but after this incident, it may be difficult for them to get along with each other anymore.
The rest have just left it alone, mainly Master Mu Jinrong and all the fellow disciples on Junzi Peak. They don't know how to deal with it in the future. Since his ascension, they are the only ones who have given him the warmth of home, but because of Jiang Haoyang's ambition, he has lost this harbor and is like a lonely ghost, not knowing where to go.
