Xu Ruyan's light words silenced Wei Dongliu.

What, the immortal has already researched and decided?

How could I, an ordinary leader of the Wanfatongxuan Sect, suddenly become the leader of the Fanshengdao Sect?

I haven’t even seen the face of the sect’s guardian immortal!

Of course, calling that immortal the "sect-guarding immortal" is not actually very accurate - because although he is a Taoist immortal, he has been obsessed with Buddhism for many years and has long stopped caring about the affairs of the mortal world, otherwise the mortal world would not have fallen into its current state.

For example, Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion in Dream of Red Mansions is a typical example of someone who has ability but is unwilling to take responsibility.

If this is the case, then the statement "the immortal has decided that you will be the leader of the mortal path" is obviously not in line with common sense.

Unless... the immortal is a traitor in Hell!

No, no, there can only be one immortal in hell, and that’s that old shady Taoist priest Luo.

Given his opponent's chess strategy of "the world is the chessboard and all living beings are chess pieces", it is unlikely that he will cooperate with another immortal on an equal footing, unless it is a relationship of mutual benefit... So, this immortal who was born in Taoism but is obsessed with Buddhism is actually also pretending?

Damn it! Even the immortals have started to act. How can this super inward-looking world be better?

With thousands of thoughts running through his mind, Wei Dongliu calmly communicated with Xu Ruyan with words.

Witch Jiang stood beside him, acting obediently and not saying a word, but in fact she had her ears perked up and was patiently memorizing their conversation.

Only the flying yaksha was hunched lazily with his hands hanging down, looking extremely bored.

Wei Dongliu's words were flawless, but he refused to directly agree to become the leader of the Fansheng Dao Sect, which made Xu Ruyan secretly annoyed.

To be honest, it is normal to be wary, but any serious cultivator who has managed to survive and make a name for himself in the Six Paths would not believe in such a good thing that would fall from the sky.

However, if an ordinary person were on guard, he would be cautious and test carefully.

And how could Wei Dongliu look timid at all? He was clearly confident!

Xu Ruyan's mind moved slightly, and suddenly she heard a voice in her ear.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zhaolie and Zhao He, put away her smile and said:

"The immortal has summoned you. Sect Leader Wei, my two Taoist friends, let's go."

Wei Dongliu immediately became alert: Is the immortal calling you?

Then he quickly felt relieved.

I think this is arranged by Hell, so the possibility of encountering unpredictable danger is not high.

Even if something unexpected really happened, the worst that could happen is to let A Jing teleport away and completely abandon Wei Dongliu's character.

Anyway, I already know that the headquarters of the Hell is deep in hell. If you make a mistake and let Wei Dongliu die, Qiu Changtian will lead the orthodox army to your doorstep in the next second!

After thinking clearly about his retreat, Wei Dongliu followed Xu Ruyan calmly and leisurely, which made Li Zhaolie and Zhao He look at him with admiration.

No matter how powerful this Master Wei is, at least his fearless demeanor cannot be underestimated.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, would he be frightened out of his wits if he was suddenly summoned by a strange immortal?

You must know that in front of an immortal, your opponent is entirely in his hands, especially those immortals with capricious moods. If you don’t go your way, you will be shattered to pieces!

Why isn't he afraid? Could it be that...

Not only Li Zhaolie and Zhao He were puzzled, Jiang Li'an and Feitian Yaksha were also secretly frightened.

Just seeing Wei Dongliu so calm and composed, they felt a little strangely relieved.

This Demon Lord Wei... must be hiding some kind of trump card, right?

Everyone flew up on their swords at the edge of the cliff and soon reached Zhongtai Peak.

This peak is towering into the clouds, with snow on the top all year round, piles of rocks, and little vegetation. Strong winds often blow, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

Under the shadow of a large rock, everyone saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The old man was shirtless, wearing only a pair of pants. He was extremely thin, with no flesh on his body. In many places, you could even see the bones covered by the skin.

Just like a stick insect.

Although the old man looked funny, the three leaders of the Fansheng Dao did not dare to neglect him at all. They all praised him respectfully and said:

"I wish that the Blood Sea Ancestor will soon achieve great success!"

The Blood Sea Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Wei Dongliu, and asked:

"Are you the headmaster of the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect?"

As soon as the words fell, a murderous aura rose into the sky, so that everyone's faces changed. Witch Jiang even subconsciously hid behind Wei Dongliu. Her instinct for danger was warning her frantically, and she was ready to run away at any time.

Wei Dongliu was the first to bear the brunt. Even though he possessed great willpower, wisdom and courage, he was still frightened for a moment when he was surrounded by the murderous aura of the Blood Sea Ancestor.

But he soon realized that if this immortal wanted to kill him, why would he need to scare him in advance?

It's nothing more than trying my courage!

With this in mind, he showed no fear at all and just nodded:

"yes."

"Not bad." The Blood Sea Ancestor said approvingly, "You are the first one who can keep a straight face under my Blood Sea Evil for the first time."

“Thank you for the compliment, ancestor.” Wei Dongliu said calmly, thinking to himself that you are far inferior to the soaring dragon power of my father-in-law in the Demon Locking Tower!

The Blood Sea Ancestor didn't know what he was thinking, and just continued to give orders:

"Please show me how to practice the Qi Refining Technique."

Wei Dongliu was silent for a moment, then he started to practice the "Sutra on Eliminating Demons and Separating the Clear and Turbid" with all his strength.

Under the flow of demonic energy, his hair quickly turned blood red, double pupils appeared in his eyes, and his entire temperament became evil, charming and wild.

The three sect leaders all silently stepped back half a step, thinking that this was indeed the sign of the operation of the Demon-eliminating Spiritual Turbidity Sutra. This person had indeed inherited the Tongxuan Sect's tradition!

"Good!" When the Blood Sea Ancestor saw him transform into the form of a demon king, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "What a chaotic body, a natural demon!"

Wei Dongliu remained calm, but laughed in his heart:

As expected of an immortal, he can actually recognize my talent for cultivation.

"You must be wondering in your heart why I specifically summoned you." The Blood Sea Patriarch continued, "Let me ask you first, what do you think of the current mortal life?"

Wei Dongliu was silent for a moment and replied:

"A pile of loose sand."

"You only know one side of the story, not the other." The Blood Sea Ancestor said slowly, "Separation and reunion are the laws of nature."

"In the past, the Chan and Jie sects were so powerful that at that time, all the Taoist sects in the world were either Chan or Jie, and there was no room for anything else."

"As a result, within less than 100,000 years, both factions were destroyed and disintegrated one after another."

"Later, Fan Sheng Dao unified the Tong Xuan Sect, and his reputation surpassed other factions. He once regarded himself as the eldest son of Jiejiao."

"In less than 5,000 years, the Tongxuan Sect also suffered a disaster of extinction, and the Taoist tradition was almost completely cut off."

"I have been practicing the Buddhist Zen of withering and flourishing for nearly ten thousand years. I have long seen through the ways of the world. Everything I drink and eat is predestined. Withering and flourishing, success or failure, are all illusory. Therefore, I do not intend to interfere in these mundane affairs. I will just let them rise and fall."

"Although the Mortal Life Path is in disarray now, in ten, a hundred, or a thousand years, there will eventually be a sect that will stand out from the survival of the fittest and reorganize the Mortal Life Path..."

At this point, Blood Sea Ancestor suddenly showed murderous intent in his eyes and sneered:

"That's what I originally thought, but I didn't expect the rise of the Three Pure Ones of the Chan Sect to be even faster. In less than ten thousand years, even a first-grade golden elixir has appeared!"

"If we allow Qiu Changtian to successfully form a baby and ascend to heaven, where will our Jie Sect have a place in the future?"

"This child must not be kept!"
