After killing Jin Sui, Liu Chen also relaxed, feeling severe pain in his internal organs.
He was running Taichu Jue, and his spiritual energy soothed the pain. After a while, he took a long breath, and after spitting out a mouthful of bruises, he felt a lot better.
He glanced around, seeing broken walls, broken grass and rocks, and a mess. The original sesame cake shop had long since collapsed, and the old couple stood in the distance with pale faces.
After becoming a Qi Refiner, their power far exceeds that of ordinary people. Reaching the fifth and sixth levels, it is like a divine power to ordinary people, and it can easily break rocks and crack the ground.
Liu Chen fumbled around Jin Zhong and found a lot of good things on him.
There are dozens of spiritual stones and several bottles of elixirs, all of which can help Qi practitioners practice. Liu Chen flipped through a book of cultivation techniques. They were demonic techniques, which were of little use to him. However, you can consider taking action on the black market.
There are also a lot of poisons, some broken silver and jade pendants.
With such a harvest, he, who was struggling, could breathe a sigh of relief. At least he no longer had to sell poems to redeem others.
"Zhao Lei, you have to deal with this body." Liu Chen ordered Zhao Lei who appeared in front of him, and walked towards the old couple in the Shaobing shop.
The old couple and a group of people were far away from here. When they saw Liu Chen walking towards him, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Liu Chen knew clearly that he had just killed someone. Even if he was killing a demonic demon, it was normal for ordinary people to be afraid of him. He didn't want to explain anything. He walked quickly to the old couple and put the broken silver and a jade pendant found from Jin Zhong into his hands.
"This jade pendant should be enough to pay for the damage to your sesame cake shop and its surroundings. You can exchange it for silver. Please find someone to repair it."
This jade pendant is a good thing. It has Taoist patterns carved by the warlock. It can purify the mind and guard against impatience. It is a small exquisite piece.
As a Qi Refiner, he needs spiritual stones and elixirs.
On the contrary, he has Tai Chu Jue, so there is no need for this kind of jade pendant.
The damage this time was quite large, with houses demolished. A house is a valuable thing anywhere. That bit of broken silver is definitely not enough to compensate, so this jade pendant can solve the problem.
When the old man's hand was grabbed by Liu Chen, he was originally panicked, but when he saw something stuffed in his hand, he froze on the spot, staring blankly at Liu Chen's back as he turned and left.
Other ordinary people were also stunned when they saw this scene, which seemed incredible to them.
To ordinary people like them, every Qi practitioner is an unattainable person, and they are in two different worlds. In the past, the Qi Refinement Masters had fought and destroyed houses, but these Qi Refiners just left after the fight and didn't care about it at all.
They have long been accustomed to this. So when they saw the sesame cake shop collapsed, they all sympathized with the old couple.
The old couple themselves accepted this fate, so they remained pale because this was their only residence and the only place where they could make a living. This means that they will have no home to eat in the future.
But...the old couple looked at the jade pendants in their hands, with tears in their eyes.
Looking at the retreating figure, he knelt on the ground with a thump and kowtowed to the ground.
The other person's random act of kindness is their fate!
Mu Yinyin stood on the roof and saw Liu Chen killing Jin Zhong and preparing to leave. But when she saw this scene, she was slightly stunned because Liu Chen's behavior was beyond her expectation. This guy didn't look like him at all. A man of evil ways.
Not to mention the devil's path, it's just a fight between practitioners of the righteous path. They pay attention to many things, such as victory and defeat, Taoism, realm, background, grievances... However, they never pay attention to the ordinary ordinary people next to them.
But Mu Yinyin's beautiful eyes fell on the old couple and saw that their faces were full of tears, their foreheads had red marks, and their bodies were still shaking when they stood up.
She was suddenly touched and murmured to herself: "It turns out that people can actually empathize with each other. Master said that the practice of magic depends on the various aspects of life. Is this an explanation?"
…………
Hanging Lantern Sect! Nave!
At this moment, the elders, elders, deacons, true disciples, and core disciples gathered together, each with solemn expressions.
The great elder glanced at these people. They were the core and mainstay of the Hanging Deng Sect. He let out a breath and said, "Have you all heard the news?"
Seeing that no one was speaking, the great elder continued, "Prince Ning has received definite news that the demon demons will make big moves on the autumnal equinox, which is the Moon Festival. First, they may rob the cultivation resources of various forces in Aurous Hill; second, they may The idea of building the Jinling Holy Temple. So King Ning invited all the forces in Jinling to go to Prince Ning’s Mansion for discussion? Who do you think is appropriate to represent the Hanging Deng Sect?”
There was silence all around. Prince Ning was the nominal king of Jinling. In the past, the person who was qualified to go to Prince Ning's Mansion on behalf of the Xuan Deng Sect was naturally the sect leader. However, the sect leader has passed away, and who will represent the Xuan Deng Sect to Prince Ning's Mansion is a problem.
Seeing that no one spoke, the Great Elder could only say: "Originally, the sect leader's body was still cold, so he shouldn't have chosen the next sect leader so quickly. But now we have to consider choosing the sect leader first according to the current situation. This is not just a problem of Prince Ning's Palace. , and more importantly, someone is needed to take charge of the overall situation and face the devil."
This sentence was recognized by everyone. Even Zhao Xiyao had nothing to say and stood aside Qingli with her lips pursed.
The second elder spoke at this time: "According to the rules of the Xuan Deng Sect, those who are qualified to take over the position of sect leader are the five hall elders and the four true successors. I don't know who you would like to take over?"
The fourth elder said: "The strength of the four great true disciples is all low. They don't even have a fourth rank. Choosing them as sect leaders will only make people laugh."
This sentence made many people nod. Although the four true disciples are qualified, they have to look at their strength. The meager strength of a few people is indeed not enough to lead the entire Hanging Lantern Sect.
Zhao Xiyao and the other two true disciples who were present, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not dare to express their objections at this time. If they were not strong enough, it would be useless to say anything.
"According to the words of the fourth elder, whoever is stronger should be the sect leader. If this is the case, then I, Yunmei, will take the responsibility."
Yun Mei stood up, and the tight arc on her chest felt like it would burst her clothes every time. She glanced at several elders. If she could get the position of sect leader, many of her problems would be solved. Besides, she also had the ambition to lead the Hanging Lantern Sect.
"Why are you?" the third elder scolded, "You are determined to follow the path of an ancient qigong practitioner, and the entire Suzaku Palace is almost ruined. As the sect leader, do you want to turn the entire Hanging Deng Sect into a waste?"
"That is, to say that we are strong, we should consider the overall strength. We, the White Tiger Palace, are good at attacking. Among the six halls of the Xuandeng Sect, except for the middle hall, we are the strongest. The second elder should take over as the sect leader." A deacon of the White Tiger Palace. shouted.
"Haha, the second elder and the fifth elder are not qualified. Only the elder of Qinglong Palace is qualified to take over as the sect leader. In terms of strength, he is not much worse than that of White Tiger Palace. Who can compare with the elder in terms of qualifications?"
"We, Xuanwu Palace, made sacrifices and gave up the position of true successor. Shouldn't we make compensation now? The third elder should take over as the sect leader."
"..."
In the field, voices vying for the position of sect leader are endless. There was a lot of quarrel in all the halls, and everyone was blushing.
The five elders also felt hot in their hearts. Who doesn’t want to get the position of sect leader? Obtaining it means taking charge of the Xuan Deng Sect. Although the Xuan Deng Sect is not as good as before, it is still the main righteous sect in Jinling, which represents status and power. Stomping your feet, Jinling will tremble.
Although he is not a master, he is better than a master.
Therefore, they watched the quarrel below and no one stopped them. He even gestured with his eyes to continue. After the quarrel, they started to massage their hands and it became a mess.
When Yun Mei saw her fellow disciples starting to take action, she angrily yelled, "Stop it!"
Huge sound waves hit the main hall, and the noisy scene was suppressed for a while.
"For the position of a sect leader, you are actually fighting with the same sect. Liu Chen really did not blame you wrongly."
Yun Mei's words made all the elders turn blue and white. The third elder couldn't help but said: "Haha, speaking of Liu Chen, I wonder how you plan to deal with him?"
"I..." Yunmei bit her teeth. She hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.
The third elder said again: "You can't handle this matter well. I really doubt your ability. Now that the position of sect leader falls into your hands, is there any hope for the Hanging Deng Sect? What do the elders think?"
The other elders naturally wanted to have one less competitor, and they all nodded and said: "Junior sister Yunmei, you promised to train lamplighters, but you have never fulfilled this promise. We really can't trust you."
Yun Mei's face turned blue and white, and she was so crowded that she couldn't speak.
Zhao Xiyao looked at Yun Mei and then at the other elders. Compared with the other four people, Zhao Xiyao hopes that Yun Mei will be the leader of the clan. After thinking for a while, she said: "I have a way to convince everyone who takes over the position of sect leader."
This sentence made everyone look at Zhao Xiyao. No one dares to look down upon Zhao Xiyao. Although she is not strong enough, she is the daughter of the sect master after all. The sect leader is in charge of the middle hall, which is not only the most powerful hall, but also the elders' chamber. And these people are all close to Zhao Xiyao.
In terms of influence, they are only below the elders who hold the palace. To have her support is to have the support of the Middle Temple and the Presbytery.
The third elder said kindly: "Niece Zhao, tell me."
"Whoever in the sect can avenge my father and kill the vicious man. Naturally, it means whoever has the strength, has made great contributions to the Hanging Lantern Sect, and is a virtuous person. He takes the position of sect leader as a matter of course."
Zhao Xiyao was filled with hatred. She just wanted someone to avenge her father. The Venomous Hand is very powerful and it is difficult for her to take revenge. You can only use other people's methods. This is why she offered a reward to anyone who killed Jin Zhong and pledged her life to him.
Whoever avenges my father will be supported by me as the suzerain.
Zhao Xiyao's suggestion made the surrounding area quiet. No one can find fault with this proposal.
"We support Junior Sister Zhao's suggestion!" The two true disciples of Qinglong Palace and White Tiger Palace also said at this time.
Jin Zheng is not that easy to kill. Although they are weak now, they will always become stronger. Maybe Jin Zuo can survive until they are strong enough, and then they can get the beauty and power by killing Jin Zuo.
Compared with the current impossibility of obtaining the position of sect leader, this at least has hope.
"That's good advice!"
"That's right! Whoever can kill Jin Zhen to avenge the sect master and promote the prestige of our hanging lamp sect, then whoever can become the sect master, we are convinced."
"I support!"
"..."
Within the Hanging Deng Sect, everyone was excited and approved of this plan.
The elders looked at each other, and there was no better choice at this time. Finally, with the unanimous consent of everyone, Zhao Xiyao's suggestion was confirmed.
Several elders were originally not so eager to kill Jin Zong, but now they all want to know where Jin Zong is. They knew that Jin Zhong would definitely pay a price for killing the Grandmaster, and it was easiest to kill him at this time. If by the time he recovers, he will be at the sixth level in his heyday, then it won't be that easy to kill him.
Just when everyone was preparing to arrange for the disciples in the hall to search for his whereabouts, a disciple rushed into the hall, running so fast that he even lost one of his shoes.
"Elder... elder, something big... has happened!" This disciple had difficulty speaking because of his shortness of breath.
When the third elder saw that this was an ordinary disciple, he angrily said: "We are discussing important matters, who will give you the courage to break into the palace?"
The disciple did not look at him, but looked at Zhao Xiyao, with complicated eyes and envy. He gasped and said, "The ruthless man Jin Zheng was killed by Liu Chen, and his body is placed outside the sect leader's mourning hall."
"What?"
Everyone present stood up suddenly, their eyes widening. Damn it, am I hallucinating?
