Ning Fan was moved at first, and then his eyes gradually calmed down, as if they had never wavered in the slightest.
The old demon Fusang's eyes were so clear that he could naturally see the subtle changes in Ning Fan's expression. He shook his head and sighed,
"Fellow Taoist doesn't want to be the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace, why?"
"May I ask, Senior Fusang, why you are so persistent in letting this junior become the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace?" Ning Fan asked instead without answering.
The old demon Fusang sighed and explained,
"Fellow Taoist should know that I am the eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace and will die at the end of his life in ten years. Naturally, these eight elders need to be replaced...According to the rules of the Bamboo Palace, the successor of the elder needs to be replaced by all the elders. Recommend three people, then set up an assessment among the candidates and select one person to succeed."
"To be honest with fellow Taoist, in addition to recommending fellow Taoist to succeed the eighth elder, I also recommended two people. Both of them are Guiyuan Taixu and have an old relationship with my Fusang clan... I did not recommend Tang Xiong. Even if Tang Xiong is a Taixu monk! Because ordinary Taixu, there is no way he can compete for the position of the Eighth Elder."
"I heard that the Taoist was so evil that he was guessing at that time that the Taoist's magical power would not be weak. Then I heard that the Taoist killed two Guiyuan Taixu alone and completed the five-star mission. I immediately decided to recommend the last one Send this to fellow Taoist! Generally speaking, five-star missions can only be completed by monks who break the void! Fellow Taoist can complete the five-star mission alone and kill Guiyuan Taixu. There is no doubt about his strength!"
"Fellow Taoist, do you know how great the benefits are of becoming the Eighth Elder? When I succeeded the Eighth Elder, I was just a Guiyuan Taixu. After I succeeded, I was fully trained by the Bamboo Palace. After a thousand years of succession, I successfully broke through Suixu! With the qualifications of fellow Taoist, if he succeeds the Eighth Elder, he will definitely be trained by the Bamboo Emperor, and within a few thousand years, he will be another powerful Void Shatterer!"
"With such great benefits, why don't fellow Taoists want to succeed the Eighth Elder?"
Ning Fan didn't say a word, just shook his head and chuckled.
The old demon Fusang was puzzled. After a moment, Ning Fan suddenly stopped smiling and said solemnly, "The reason why senior wants me to succeed the eighth elder is precisely the reason why I don't want to succeed the eighth elder!"
The old demon Fusang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly.
"Among the elder candidates recommended by other elders this time, there is one who is only one step away from breaking through Suixu. He is known as the 'first person under Suixu' in the East Tree Sea. This person has won the position of eighth elder. The most likely possibility... He is the patriarch of the Baili clan. Our Fusang clan and the Baili clan have an everlasting feud..."
The old demon Fusang mentioned this. No more words.
obviously. The reason why Old Demon Fusang wanted Ning Fan to win the position of Eighth Elder was because he did not want this position to be taken away by the Baili clan leader.
If Chief Baili becomes the new eighth elder of the Bamboo Palace, he will surely be able to succeed in breaking the void one day.
The Baili clan was born on the day when Suixu was born. When the Fuso clan is in decline, the two families have an undying feud and will definitely use all their strength to suppress the Fuso clan...
The old demon Fusang is not far from death. He doesn't care about his own life or death, he just wants his family not to decline after his death.
It would be fine if the elder candidate he recommended did not win the position of elder. If he did win the position of elder, he would definitely offend the Baili clan.
It’s okay to offend the Baili clan. After all, the Baili clan is not broken yet.
But be aware. The elder who recommended the Baili clan chief to participate in the elder candidacy must have a close relationship with the Baili clan.
If you offend Bai Li, you will also offend an elder Suixu who doesn't know how to cultivate.
The reason why Ning Fan didn't want to get involved in the Fusang clan's affairs was simply because he didn't want to cause trouble.
The position of the eighth elder cannot tempt him, because he will not stay in the tree world for too long. Zhudian's efforts in training did not have any temptation on him.
As for one of the perks of becoming the eighth elder...Tree Ancestral Fruit!
Since this fruit was bestowed upon the new Eighth Elder by the Bamboo Palace, it naturally belonged to the Bamboo Palace.
There must be many ancestral trees in the Bamboo Palace.
With Ning Fan's methods, there is always a way to trade with the Bamboo Palace and get some Ancestral Tree Fruits. There is no need to cause more trouble and become the eighth elder.
Ning Fan did not clarify his words, but Fusang Old Demon already guessed Ning Fan's thoughts.
"Well, since fellow Taoist don't want to get involved in this trouble, just pretend that I haven't mentioned it before. I will give the third recommendation spot to Tang Xiong and ask him to compete for the position of the eighth elder... As for the result, I will give it to Tang Xiong. , it all depends on God’s will, don’t force it.”
Old Demon Fusang couldn't help but sigh. With his status, it was already very rare for him to make a request to Ning Fan.
If Ning Fan insists on not obeying, he will not force him, let alone entangle him. After all, he is a dignified old monster and has his own dignity.
The old demon Fusang saw his lips move but no sound, and he transmitted a few words to the distance.
After more than ten breaths, Tang Xiong came out of the treasure house with a storage bag in hand. Apparently he had received a message and did not dare to come out until the two of them had finished talking.
"These are ten Mingluo puppets and 20 billion immortal jades. They are the mission rewards for fellow Taoists. You might as well count them to see if there are any shortcomings. There is also a jade slip in the storage bag, which is the Tanggu Realm Gate. The jade slips of the boundary road can be used to open the boundary gate and pass through."
Ning Fan took the storage bag from Tang Xiong's hand, scanned it with his spiritual mind, checked that everything was correct, and gave a fist to Fuso Tree Demon and Tang Xiong.
"Farewell!"
Ning Fan turned around and left, but was stopped by Fusang Old Demon.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
"What's the matter?"
"I have some things here that I would like to give to fellow Taoists and to establish a good relationship with fellow Taoists. These things should be of some help to fellow Taoists."
The old demon Fuso handed Ning Fan a storage bag, and Ning Fan swept it away with his mind. There were tens of billions of immortal jade, a thousand sacred tree fruits, and maps of the three major seas of trees in the east, south, and west.
In addition, there are many rare spiritual minerals and spiritual trees in the storage bag, which are used for making and repairing puppets.
Ning Fan was thoughtful. It seemed that Old Demon Fusang had carefully investigated him and guessed from the things he bought in Yiyi City that he wanted to repair the puppet.
It is true that the things Fusang Old Demon gave Ning Fan were what he needed.
Ning Fan also knew what it meant to accept this storage bag.
"That's all, Lu has accepted these things. If the Fusang clan is in trouble in the future, Lu will do whatever he can to help."
After Ning Fan finished speaking, he put away his storage bag and said goodbye with fists in his hands.
Accepting this storage bag means accepting Old Demon Fuso's overtures.
With Ning Fan's character, he would not accept favors from others for nothing. If he saw the Fusang clan in trouble one day, he would naturally take action.
The old demon Fusang grasped Ning Fan's character very accurately.
Seeing Ning Fan see through his intentions and make a promise. The old demon Fusang showed a look of relief, but then sighed after Ning Fan left.
"Why did the ancestor sigh?" Tang Xiong asked in confusion.
"It's a pity... Lu Bei is very hidden. If this boy accepts my recommendation and gets my help, the chance of winning the position of the Eighth Elder is definitely not small... Although he has never revealed a trace of evil spirit from beginning to end , but I still sensed an extremely dangerous feeling from him... In front of him, I actually had a ridiculous delusion... If I had a disagreement just now and had a grudge with this guy, this guy would have the ability to kill me instantly. ! This feeling is so absurd, yet so real..."
"What! This Lu Bei can actually kill the ancestor instantly?! This, this..." Tang Xiong knew that the ancestor never lied. Maybe Ning Fan really has the means to instantly kill the old demon Fusang.
If this is really the case. Ning Fan is too scary...
...
Ning Fan returns to the palace. With his sleeves and robe rolled up, he used the technique of moving in the void and disappeared with Qingdai into the city of Yiyi.
He walked all the way east and crossed Yugu. Heading towards the border of Jumang Kingdom - Tanggu Realm Gate.
Ning Fan did not regret rejecting Fusang Old Demon's proposal. He had his own things to do and could not get too involved in other people's troubles.
Being able to help the Fuso clan when they are in trouble is the limit.
After flying all the way and burning a stick of incense, Ning Fan stopped his flight and landed outside the gate of Tanggu.
This is the junction of the North Sea of Trees and the East Sea of Trees. A dark purple light wall separates the two seas of trees.
The wall of light goes down to the underworld. Go up to the top of the sky, leaving no gaps for people to pass through.
That dark purple light is the light that breaks the world. Even a loose immortal who accidentally breaks into the light that breaks the world will only end up falling.
There is a huge gate thousands of feet high above the light wall. There are many formation restrictions on the door. The formation itself is not powerful, but it is closely connected with the light that breaks the boundary.
Once someone breaks into the boundary gate without permission, they will be attacked by the light that breaks the boundary drawn by the formation. Under the immortal, the trespassers will die!
Ning Fan took out the storage bag of the mission reward, took out Jie Lu Yu Jie, and transferred 20 billion immortal jade to the storage bag on his waist.
There are only 10 Mingluo puppets left in this storage bag with the cultivation level of the Mingluo clan. They were made from the corpses of the ten ancestors of the Mingluo clan who refining the void ten thousand years ago.
Ning Fan handed the storage bag to Qingdai without saying anything.
Qingdai took the storage bag, took one look at it, and immediately showed a look of surprise, and said to Ning Fan with gratitude, "Thank you..."
"You're welcome. If I ask you for anything in the future, just don't refuse." Ning Fan said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Qingdai nodded.
"Let's go."
Ning Fan pressed the Jade Slip of the Boundary Road to pieces, and a purple light suddenly flew out from the Jade Slip and disappeared into the giant door.
The giant door trembled violently, opening a gap. The ground shook violently, raising countless smoke and dust.
The moment the giant door revealed a gap, Ning Fan's sleeves and robe were rolled up, and Qingdai and Qingdai turned into moving tobacco and floated into the boundary door.
As soon as the escape light was withdrawn, the two landed on a dark purple light path, which was the boundary path leading to the East Tree Sea.
After the two entered, the giant door slowly closed.
"Go straight along this boundary road. There is a teleportation array at the end, which can be teleported to the boundary of Dongshuhai." This is not the first time Qingdai has passed the boundary road.
"Well, you go first, I have something to take care of..." Ning Fan suddenly stopped, frowned, and stopped on the boundary road.
"Have something to deal with? Hurry up, I'll wait for you at Dong Shuhai." Qingdai was startled, not knowing what Ning Fan meant.
Her eyes were confused and she continued to move forward, entering the teleportation array at the end of the boundary road and teleporting to the East Tree Sea.
After Qingdai left, Ning Fan suddenly turned around and glanced back with cold eyes.
"Why don't you come out yet... Do all the people of the Vine Emperor like to hide their heads and show their tails like this?"
After Ning Fan spoke, a disdainful laughter immediately sounded in the empty place.
"Hide your head and show your tail? You are just asking questions, but you are worthy of me hiding your head and showing your tail, and using secret methods? I just don't want to kill you on the boundary line!"
Amidst the sweet laughter, a woman with long hair reaching her waist and dressed in pink appeared floating on the boundary road. Her beautiful eyes were clearly beautiful, but with a cold and murderous intent.
There is a pink sword bag tied around her waist, and there are strands of sword intent all over her body. The sword intent is intertwined like a vine, endless, it is a pure vine sword intent!
Her aura was as strong as the sky, and where she stood, the void trembled slightly.
This is a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator of the First Level of Shattering Void!
"I am the master of the Wisteria Palace under Emperor Teng...Teng Xianrou! I came here today just to kill you, Lu Bei, accept death!"
"Sword cultivator...or a woman?" A mocking smile appeared on Ning Fan's lips.
He had expected that Emperor Teng's subordinates would not give up and might ambush him at the six gates.
But he never expected that he would be ambushed by a female sword cultivator from Shattering Void.
This is not an ambush, it is clearly a great gift...a Void-Shattering Cauldron delivered to your door!
