The Holy Fire Sword is one of the five sacred objects of the Ming Cult. It is rumored that it was recast by the Ming Cult using the Holy Fire Token hundreds of years ago.
Compared to Du Wentao's surprise, Wei Yuanji said calmly: "So what about the holy objects? Isn't it useless in our hands?"
I can't bear to let go of the child, but I can't trap the wolf. If I can win over the young leader, it will be worth it even at the cost of the holy objects. The Palace of Treasures is not a secret palace that is good at fighting.
Having said that, Du Wentao was still surprised. Even though the Holy Fire Sword could not work in the hands of the Treasure Palace, the existence of the holy object itself was a status symbol.
But obviously Wei Yuanji has made up his mind to send the Holy Fire Sword out to win over the young leader.
Du Wentao is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have thought of turning the crisis into an opportunity and listening to politics behind the curtain.
He knew very well that as a subordinate, what had been decided by his superiors could not be refuted.
Even if he is Wei Yuanji's confidant, no superior would like a subordinate who has an opinion that is contrary to his own.
Wei Yuanji stood up with a proud look on his face and said, "Forget it, let me go get it myself. I wonder how the young leader will react when he sees this gift."
…
Mingjiao, Yangming Palace.
Bai Xiuping, who returned to Yangming Palace, was reviewing yesterday's events with his eyes closed.
Wei Chunxing was bound to be taught a lesson when he returned to Jubao Palace, but in the eyes of others, the commotion in Shao Hualou might just be that the young leader was being domineering as always.
The various forces are now busy scheming against each other. To them, he, the young leader, is just a pawn and does not pose any threat.
Since he, Bai Xiuping, was reborn as the young leader of the Demon Sect, why not become the leader, reorganize and govern the Demon Sect from top to bottom, and become a Demon Sect that no longer acts recklessly, so that the Central Plains can be stabilized.
It is not easy to become the leader of the Demon Cult and to make all the forces of the Demon Cult surrender, so Bai Xiuping plans to make the Palace of Treasures his first target.
Although the Jubao Palace is weak in combat power, it is rich. Since ancient times, if you want to recruit troops, the first condition for growing strength is the support of wealth.
But there is a more pressing problem at the moment, which is that the power of Yangming Palace is seriously insufficient. Apart from Bai Xiuping, there is only Gongsun Fu as a personal bodyguard.
Suddenly the door was suddenly opened, and Gongsun Fu walked in full of resentment.
Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Bai Xiuping couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't stand Gongsun Fu.
In fact, Gongsun Fu couldn't stand his young leader even more. When he came in, he said with a frantic expression: "Young leader, such a big thing has happened, how can you still sleep!"
"I'm not sleeping, I'm meditating."
Hearing this, Gongsun Fu became even more frantic and said: "Why are you meditating at this time? Go to Jubao Palace as soon as possible and explain to the Master of Jubao Palace that yesterday's incident at Shao Hua Tower was just a joke."
Gongsun Fu was really panicking now. Now that the leader was away, the young leader chose to provoke the people from the Seven Secrets Palace. Yangming Palace did not have the strength to compete with the Seventh Secret Palace.
With just the two of them, I'm afraid they would be eaten up by the Seven Secret Palaces.
The Palace of Light will not be kind enough to help them.
On the contrary, Bai Xiuping said calmly: "Didn't they hurt you? I love my subordinates very much."
Unexpectedly, the young leader provoked the Seventh Secret Palace because of himself. Gongsun Fu felt a little moved in his heart. Suddenly he realized something was wrong and shouted: "It was obviously the young leader who pulled me over!"
Bai Xiuping turned around, pretending not to hear, waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me."
"I need a list of people ranked by status within the Ming Cult. Where can I get it?"
I don’t know what the young leader wants to do, but Gongsun Fu still replied: "As for the ranking book, there is a place where you can get it, but what do you want the list for all of a sudden?"
"If you want to fill the annex of Yangming Palace with people, you must at least find out who is suitable in Mingjiao."
Before Gongsun Fu came to his senses, Bai Xiuping pushed him directly and asked him to lead the way. Gongsun Fu looked puzzled and asked quickly: "Wait a minute, what do you think of the annex in Yangming Palace?"
Bai Xiuping pointed to the outside of Yangming Palace with a matter-of-fact expression and said, "Of course we should fill all the annexes of Yangming Palace with people. Apart from you, there are eleven places that are empty."
The wide-eyed Gongsun Fu shouted anxiously: "So I ask you why you suddenly did this!"
"I am a young leader after all. Yangming Palace is really too quiet. Don't you find it boring?"
Seeing Bai Xiuping smiling brightly, Gongsun Fu collapsed even more, holding his head in his hands and yelling: "It's not enough that you got into such a big trouble yesterday, now you are talking about living in Yangming Palace!"
"Do you want to raise a flag to protest next, so that everyone will not underestimate you?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiuping said happily: "It would be great if you can understand me."
Seeing that Bai Xiuping was still insisting on this matter, Gongsun Fu sighed helplessly, thinking that the young leader had not realized the seriousness of the problem.
Then he explained with sincerity and sincerity: "Young Master, this matter is of a different nature from what happened to Wei Chunxing yesterday. Regarding what happened to Shao Hualou yesterday, everyone at most thinks that you are acting tyrannically."
"But allowing Yangming Palace to be filled with people is equivalent to wanting to expand the power of Yangming Palace in the eyes of others, and neither the Seven Secret Palace nor the Presbyterian Council will allow it."
Now is the critical period when a new leader is about to be selected. No force wants Bai Xiuping, the first successor to the leader's position, to increase his power.
The expansion of Yangming Palace's power means that the rogue young leader who has accomplished nothing will become a thorn in everyone's side and will inevitably become the target of others to eradicate him. Gongsun Fu does not want to see this happen.
At this time, Bai Xiuping suddenly asked: "Gongsun Fu, who am I?"
"ah?"
Gongsun Fu did not understand what the young leader meant, but continued: "The problem now is that if you really want to expand Yangming Palace..."
Before Gongsun Fu could finish speaking, Bai Xiuping interrupted: "I'll ask you again, who am I."
When he said this, Bai Xiuping put away his smile, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold.
This appearance shocked Gongsun Fu, and he immediately replied blankly: "You, you are the young leader."
Then Bai Xiuping returned to his smile and said, "Do you need any other reasons? Lead the way."
As the nominal second-in-command, the Young Master naturally has the right to expand his power.
But having this right does not mean that other forces will allow it.
Seeing that he really couldn't persuade the young leader, Gongsun Fu could only ask Bai Xiuping to change his clothes, at least not act so openly.
After Bai Xiuping saw the clothes, he said with some disgust: "Can I only wear this black hat?"
Although he still looked so handsome in the rear mirror, Bai Xiuping felt a little melancholy at the thought of not being able to wear white clothes again.
Alas, it's a pity that the master's demeanor is not there.
My heart is sad.
…
Mingjiao Shuifeng.
The stars are shining brightly in the sky, the lights are brightly lit in the mountains, and the sound of sales is constant, but no one here is asleep.
Seeing such a bustling scene, Bai Xiuping thought this was a night market, but Gongsun Fu panted and replied, "Have you forgotten, this is Shuifeng's market?"
"The Hundred Thousand Mountains are stacked with peaks. I don't know the exact number, but the believers mainly live in the seven peaks. Sun Peak is where the leader lives, and everything is naturally available."
While talking, he couldn't help but sit down and rest, pointing to the passers-by and saying: "It's not like this in other places. They usually come to this market in Shuifeng to buy what they need."
There are a large number of Mingjiao people, and the rest time is irregular, so Shuifeng Market does not rest around the clock.
A man carrying a pole walked by, and a woman carrying a barrel passed by. Bai Xiuping was a little stunned.
I never thought that the followers of the Demon Sect also need to live and work hard like ordinary people in the city. It may not be a problem for people with high martial arts levels, but these mountains are so towering that it must be very hard for ordinary people.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Xiuping said, "Have they never thought about living down the mountain?"
