The main altar of Jie Lun Palace.
In the secret palace sealed by numerous formations, Saint Mei Qingfeng and her master were hosting a banquet to entertain sisters Zihuang and Lingxi who had traveled across time and space. Luo Yujue, Meng Huo, Yuan Xuankong and other core senior executives were accompanying him.
"...The catastrophe of the demon clan actually broke out just when it was said to break out?"
After listening to the Palace Master's account of the changes in the Taixu Starry Sky in the past few years, Zihuang put down his wine bottle, frowned and muttered: "It's just that the territory of our Celestial Race is inconvenient to communicate with you, and even if we want to lend a helping hand, it is difficult to do so. This disaster will only happen. You can rely on yourselves."
The Lord of the Luck Palace smiled: "Although the descendants of the demon clan are powerful and difficult to eradicate in a short period of time, it will not shake the foundation of the Taixu Starry Sky Cultivation World. At least the Dao Court is still as stable as a rock, and the territories directly under its jurisdiction are also It was calm, and many small and medium-sized sects who were quick to see the opportunity, as well as a large number of casual cultivators, took refuge in the Taoist territory."
"Well, my Luck Palace has also housed some forces. Although there are not many suitable 'materials' in it, I can still collect a lot if I search carefully. It should not be difficult to meet your needs in the past hundred years. As for more ...You have to find another way.”
Lingxi couldn't help but frown secretly. Of course she understood what these so-called 'materials' were. Every certain number of years, the Jie Yun Palace would secretly collect a group of boys and girls and hand them over to the Celestial Race through special channels.
They are all highly qualified monk seedlings, gathered through the huge intelligence network of the Luck Palace and using various shady means. The Celestial Race will pay a lot of rare resources to the Luck Palace for this purpose.
For millions of years, the Tribulation Palace has made a lot of money through this kind of dark business, and secretly cultivated a large number of elite disciples, and its influence in the Taixu Star Sky has increased.
Zihuang nodded slightly and said: "Even if there is a great calamity in this world, this business will still have to be done. I agree to this matter, so let's follow the previous trading rules."
"But this is not the point. I came here specifically to inform you that the Mist Fantasy Secret Realm will be opened again in half a year. At that time, all the monks in the Taixu Starry Sky can freely enter and exit it according to their quota, looking for opportunities."
"this……"
The Palace Master's eyes flashed, and after a little thought, he understood the intentions of the senior leaders of the Celestial Race. The last "harvest" operation must have failed to achieve the expected goals, so he planned to reopen the Mist Fantasy Secret Realm in the near future and try to harvest again. .
tomato
"Is there a problem?"
Zihuang asked sensitively.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, now the calamity of the demon clan is getting more and more severe. About 70% of the small and medium-sized sects have been destroyed. Most of the remaining sects are still struggling to survive. I am afraid that not many monks are willing to take risks in the mysterious realm of mist. ” Elder Yuan Xuankong explained.
Nowadays, in addition to the Taoist Court and the Palace of Tribulation, as well as a limited number of old supreme Taoist lineages, ancient ethnic groups, and wealthy families, the remaining forces have suffered staggering losses. It is not easy to protect themselves. How can they still have the energy to send people into the Mist Fantasy Secret Realm to search? Opportunity? Even though there are a lot of good things inside, it is attractive enough to the monks.
Zihuang pondered slightly: "Is this a problem? It's up to you to find a solution. I believe you can do it."
Palace Master: "..."
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of the elders, Zihuang smiled again and said: "I can understand your difficulties. Let's do this. After this round of harvesting operations is completed, the benefits given to you will be added to the original ones. 20% is considered compensation, how about it?"
Mei Qingfeng said displeasedly: "Twenty percent is too little, it must be at least 50%."
Zihuang smiled and said: "With the good relationship between our two families for so many years, we don't want the lion to open his mouth. The 20% benefit is already worth your extra effort. How about an additional half percent?"
The palace master said in a calm tone: "You can't say that. We have to take big risks when we act at this critical moment of calamity. Once the news leaks out, we will definitely be attacked by all the sect forces including Tao Ting. If we attack in groups, the consequences will be disastrous! So... the minimum increase is 45%!"
"Thirty percent, no more!"
"Forty percent, right? We are old friends, why should we be fussy?"
The palace master chuckled a few times and smiled like an old fox that had matured for thousands of years. As a qualified sect speaker, when dealing with external parties, of course, he must strive to maximize benefits. Let alone 10%, even 10% of the benefit means huge benefits. How can we let go easily?
Zihuang's eyes stared at him coldly for a few times, then he picked up the wine bottle and sipped slowly for a moment, then said calmly: "The motto of your human race is that brothers should settle accounts clearly. Our Celestial Race also has a similar creed. : Brothers belong to brothers, and money must be separated.”
"It's obviously a matter of mutual benefit, why do you insist on eating more and occupying more? We have never let you suffer."
The Palace Master's smile faded a bit: "Without our help, you wouldn't be able to coax even a single monk, right? Compared to the benefits you get, your efforts are not even a drop in the bucket!"
The expressions on the elders' expressions were a little subtle. After having been dealing with each other for so many years, there were some things that didn't need to be said. Everyone just knew it.
Lingxi hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't speak. She was casual by nature, didn't like worldly affairs, and was really not good at this kind of bargaining. On the contrary, this ambitious bestie and playmate was born to eat this bowl of rice.
"That's all, let's make it 35%."
Zihuang's voice was faint: "This is the biggest concession I can make. If you are still not satisfied, we can only consider finding another collaborator."
"In that case, it's settled."
The Palace Master raised the wine bottle cheerfully: "In ten days at most, the news that the Mist Fantasy Secret Realm is about to reopen will spread throughout the Taixu starry sky. In half a year, enough monks will be guaranteed to enter it."
Mei Qingfeng sighed softly in her heart. The reopening of the Mist Fantasy Secret Realm was actually not good news for the hundreds of millions of monks in the Taixu Starry Sky.
Especially in this situation where the catastrophe of the demon clan is in full swing, and the celestial beings are about to take the opportunity to steal a large piece of luck, it is more appropriate to describe it as taking advantage of the situation and adding insult to injury. In addition to the benefits that can be gained from the Luck Palace, other supreme Taoist traditions, including the Taoist Court, may not be able to take advantage.
Of course, as the saint of the Luck Palace and the future helmsman of the sect, she could only put the interests of the sect first in everything and could not consider anything for outsiders.
At this time, Mei Qingfeng suddenly thought of the young man from Yunmeng Heavenly Palace. By then, he would definitely enter the Mysterious Mist Realm to look for opportunities, right?
If you can make good use of this opportunity and arrange for a high-level traitor in Yunmeng Palace to secretly abduct his body back to Jie Luck Palace, after his soul returns from the secret realm, it will be completely under your control. It all belongs to myself alone.
…
The main altar of Yunmeng Tiangong, in the secret realm of the mountain behind the sect.
Faced with Emperor Xinyu's question, Luo Yunshui did not make too many excuses, but said softly:
"This junior knows that his sins are serious and unforgivable. I only ask the Patriarch to show mercy to this junior that it is not easy for him to practice and give him a chance to atone for his sins. When this junior recovers, he will definitely fight for the overall situation of the sect, charge into battle, and try his best to make up for the sect's losses. "
As one of the most powerful Daluo-level men in the sect, the previous leader's attitude was extremely low-key. If it were someone with a less firm attitude, he would probably consider relenting.
After all, the various values that a Daluo-level powerhouse can create and the role it can play are simply too great. If nothing else, even if she is asked to work hard in digging spiritual mines, the amount of rare spiritual minerals she can refine and purify in a year is worth the tens of thousands of years of hard work of an ordinary true immortal.
That's why Luo Yunshui didn't say much. As long as he regained his cultivation strength, there will still be a long time to come. No matter what he wants to do, he can manage it calmly.
Well, I heard that the young man named Qin Muling was found by the current head coach? When the time comes, you will use some means to pull him over. As long as you can control him, you will have obtained a heavyweight bargaining chip in your hand, and anything you want to do in the future will be much easier.
Emperor Xinyu stared at her silently for a while, then shook his head and said: "It seems that you still have no intention of giving up. After tens of thousands of years of reflection, you still haven't been able to realize your guilt. In other words, you are unwilling to do so, right?"
Luo Yunshui's expression froze slightly: "Grandmaster, why do you think so?"
"You can't hide it from me,"
Emperor Xinyu had no expression on his face: "Back then, the sect suffered a calamity and declined. I am aware of the causes and consequences, and through the deduction and verification of the secrets of heaven, I have confirmed that they did not accuse you in any way. Everything is. You acted recklessly and acted perversely, and that’s how you ruined the great foundation of our sect.”
Luo Yunshui was silent for a few breaths, with a cold expression: "I really have nothing to say about what happened back then, but my intentions are good and I definitely did not betray the sect."
"The way of a saint is to judge one's deeds without regard to one's heart."
Emperor Xinyu said in a cold tone: "No matter what you think in your heart, if you mess up something, it is unforgivable! This time, the senior leaders of the sect are unanimous in wanting to punish you severely and are unwilling to let you recover. Even I can't plead for you. , so you can only continue to sleep."
Luo Yunshui's expression suddenly changed: "They really dare to do something so extraordinary?"
"It wasn't them, it was you who went too far!"
Emperor Xinyu sighed: "Almost every high-ranking elder has disciples, close clan members, or elders who died in the catastrophe. It was all because of you. How can they forgive you for what you did?" for?"
There was silence all around, and no one made a sound as the still sleeping Supreme Elders were distracted by their thoughts and watched silently.
"But I..."
Luo Yunshui gritted his teeth and said: "Can the Patriarch summon the current headmaster? And those high-level elders? I want to ask their attitude in person. Many of my direct disciples also died back then. Didn't they see it? ?”
"Forget it, no one in the entire sect wants to see you again!"
Emperor Xinyu's voice was low: "This time I came to see you is the last moment of my love. You and the Supreme Elders of your line must live here forever until your lifespan is exhausted and you die. That day."
"..."
A hint of cold light flashed across Luo Yunshui's eyes, and in the blue crystal lotus behind her, her body suddenly erupted into a large golden glow, and an almost heaven-destroying aura was brewing rapidly.
She actually wanted to explode her physical body and soul and destroy the entire Cave Heaven Secret Realm, completely ignoring that nearly half of the Supreme Elders were still sleeping in the secret realm.
Exclamations resounded from far and near:
"Luo Yunshui, are you crazy?"
"What do you want?"
"It's true that you are evil! How come the sect has such a disaster like you?"
"frenzied……"
"You can't blame me! You all forced me to do this!"
Luo Yunshui looked ferocious, with a sickly twisted smile on his face: "Since I have no chance to recover, then everyone should follow me! If you want to die, die together..."
"That's all, you are already possessed!"
The last trace of unbearable feeling in Emperor Xinyu's heart was gone: "This place is no longer suitable for you. Go to my exclusive secret realm of the cave. I will suppress you deep in the earth's lungs until you sit down and die." one day!"
The surrounding space suddenly solidified, and everything was in a still state. Then, the golden light overflowing from the blue crystal lotus shrank inch by inch until it was completely retracted inside the lotus. No matter how hard Luo Yunshui struggled, it was of no avail.
Then, the entire cyan crystal lotus rose from the ground, shrunk into a palm-sized ball, fell into Emperor Xinyu's hands, and disappeared.
Then, nearly a hundred more large and small cyan crystal lotuses were taken away by her one after another. These were all the Supreme Elders who had committed serious crimes in the past long years. At this moment, they were all deprived of the opportunity to recover. All of them were sent to Emperor Xinyu’s personal secret cave for suppression.
…
In Yu Lingzhou's cave.
"...This wine tastes good, is there any more?"
As Qin Muling spoke, he put down the sapphire dragon wine bottle in his hand, his eyes showing a slightly smoky color. After drinking it, his mind felt a little drowsy.
"Of course, Senior Sister, we have enough wine here. You can drink as much as you want!"
Next to her, Yu Lingzhou smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up. She also drank a lot. At this moment, her face was flushed and her eyes were sparkling. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Under her transparent and thin skirt, her sinful figure was clearly visible. As she followed With his movements, the round snowflakes trembled slightly up and down.
The jade hand filled the wine bottle again, then held it up and offered it to him. Her plump and voluptuous figure leaned over intentionally or unintentionally, and would rub against him from time to time, but she almost didn't hang on him.
Well, it's just a little bit, it's not a big deal.
Yu Lingzhou said to himself.
"You mentioned before that the remnant soul of the previous headmaster has been reincarnated. Has it not been found yet?" Qin Muling asked.
Mu Ying's master, Immortal Miaoqing, was also a powerful man at the peak of Da Luo. If he could return in time and restore the memory and cultivation of his previous life, it would certainly be beneficial and harmless to the sect.
When talking about business, Yu Lingzhou looked more straight: "Yes, except for the Hengyi ancestor who concealed the secrets for you, there is no other great master in the sect who is proficient in the secrets of heaven, so this matter has always been There are no results..."
Although Mu Yinghua took over as the head teacher at the beginning, her prestige and qualifications were limited, and it was impossible for her to command the help of a supreme elder like Patriarch Hengyi, even though she really wanted to do so.
Furthermore, there are many powerful people who have been reincarnated and rebuilt in Yunmeng Heavenly Palace over the years, but only a handful of them are lucky enough to be recovered, and most of them have never been heard from again.
Involving a peak Daluo-level powerhouse, the cost of deducing the secrets is bound to be high. If it is convenient for Mu Yinghua's master, what will other people do? Do they all have to be treated equally? That way, even the life span of ten Hengyi ancestors would not be enough to consume.
"But now that Ancestor Hengyi has recovered, Emperor Xinyu should also be able to do this."
Qin Muling said that among the first batch of Taishang elders who were completely cured by him, there was the name of Patriarch Hengyi.
"Then you have to ask for it,"
Yu Lingzhou smiled and said: "If your master said this, it would be suspected of using a public weapon for personal use, and it would inevitably attract criticism. Only your special status will prevent others from talking about it."
The super sect, which has been passed down for millions of years, is naturally famous for its strict rules and regulations. Even the leader himself would not be able to break the rules at will without proper reasons. So many senior elders of the factions are watching.
Apart from Qin Muling, there is probably no one else who can ignore these rules now. After all, his status and role are so special that even Emperor Xinyu has to accommodate him when necessary.
"Okay, let me handle this matter."
Qin Muling agreed.
A thought suddenly emerged in his heart. With him here, the ancestor of Hengyi no longer has to worry about the consequences of the depletion of life force. Then wouldn't he be able to take action almost unlimitedly? Bring back all the elders who had to reincarnate for various reasons?
If this matter can be completed smoothly, I am afraid that the strategic strength of Yunmeng Tiangong will be greatly increased.
"Sister, do you know how many reincarnated elders there are in the sect?"
Qin Muling asked after thinking about it.
"this……"
Yu Lingzhou's beautiful face changed color slightly. With her exquisite mind, she instantly understood what Qin Muling meant and said cautiously:
"I can't say for sure. I have to go to the sect's warehouse to check the special secret files to know the details. But just the names of elders that I have heard of, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them. The cultivation level is There are high and low, and there are many strong men at the Taiyi and Daluo levels."
Qin Muling nodded lightly: "It seems that I have found another way to enhance the strength of the sect, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Well, I will discuss it with the master another day. I think I will also start learning the secrets of heaven."
For such a large sect, it is impossible to rely on just one Hengyi ancestor to support the field in the field of Tianji Shushu. It requires cultivating several more talents. Others will not be able to count on it for a while, and only Qin Muling can achieve success in the shortest possible time.
"sure,"
Yu Lingzhou hugged him and kissed him, and said with a sweet smile: "No matter which force has too many talents in the field of heavenly secrets, especially with your talent, little junior brother, after you have achieved success in your studies, you can only I'm afraid the emperor is not as good as you in this regard, so it's not impossible to find all those reincarnated elders."
