There is no such position as "successor to the headmaster" in Kunlun Taiqing Sect.

In fact, neither the headmaster Ziwei nor the immortal Chisong had ever publicly announced to the sect that "the next headmaster would be Elder Changgeng."

Then why do everyone think that Qiu Changtian is the future successor to the headmaster?

Of course it was because of the countless times of asking “Chang Geng, what do you think?” that his prestige was built up over time.

As everyone's attention shifted over, Qiu Changtian said calmly:

"Whether we want to fight or negotiate, we have to listen to what the other side means... Does anyone know the specific requirements of the other side?"

There was silence for a moment, and then a cultivator said, "From what Demon Wei said, he wants us to give up half of the quota."

"joke!"

“That’s ridiculous!”

"Who does he think he is?"

There were all kinds of angry shouts on the field, but they soon quieted down again because Qiu Changtian asked again:

"What quota? Is there still a quota in this secret realm?"

"I think you are talking about the twelve places." An elder reminded.

"The secret realm will eventually select twelve winners, but this does not mean that we can only send twelve people." Qiu Changtian said leisurely, "The other side said that they would give up half of the quota, which probably means that we should agree in advance that the number of people sent by both sides into the secret realm must be equal."

"Otherwise, if we can't reach a consensus, they will force their way into the secret realm when it opens. We don't know how many people will be able to enter by then."

Everyone fell silent.

Once it develops into a strong charge and a large number of people rush in, the difficulty of the tests in the secret realm will inevitably increase sharply, so that more people can be eliminated - obviously, such a result is disadvantageous to both parties.

"Didn't the Demon Cult also force its way into the Golden Palace Secret Realm last time?" A Shushan Peak Master suddenly said, "It's just that in order to keep it secret, we had too few people to stop them last time, so we failed."

"Now our elite troops are all gathered here. Even if they charge, can they still break through our defense line?"

"That's not what they say." A Penglai elder retorted, "Then there are many Nascent Soul cultivators outside, they are all elders from other sects. Could it be that Shushan wants to kill them all?"

"There's no need to kill them all, just stop them." said the Shushan Peak Master.

"How can we stop them if we don't kill them all? Do we expect to draw a line with our flying swords and the enemy won't dare to come over?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Qiu Changtian immediately interrupted and said:

"No need to dwell on this matter too much. Senior Shushan, I have a question for you: If a Nascent Soul cultivator uses a secret escape method and rushes straight to the entrance of the secret realm, how would you intercept him?"

The master of Shushan Peak was speechless for a moment.

According to her habit, if the opponent rushed over forcefully, she would just kill him with one sword. Could the opponent be faster than the flying sword?

However, apart from the simple and crude method of killing with a sword, there seems to be no better way that will not harm the opponent's life.

There was silence on Shushan for a moment, and then the Seven Killings Sect Master Su Jian suddenly asked:

"I heard that Senior Wanxiang has a magical power that can take people into his sleeve. I wonder if he can use it here to stop outsiders?"

The Wanxiang Immortal said angrily:

"How could I use such means to bully the weak?"

"It's not a battle between good and evil, and most of the opponents are Yuanying cultivators, so it's not easy for us immortals to take action." The long-browed immortal hurriedly said, "But Penglai is proficient in various formations and can contain the enemy without fighting. I think Penglai is the best at this. I heard that your sect's Elder Jingyun was a disciple of Elder Shiding in the past, and now he is the number one formation master in Penglai?"

"Let the immortal know." Luo Yan was called by the long-browed immortal, and he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It is easy to set up a large formation to stop other cultivators; but it is extremely difficult to set up the formation flags and complete the formation in a short moment."

What I meant was that I could set up a formation to stop them, but it would take time. They were not stupid, they had seen me setting up a formation, so why didn't they charge in?

"There is only half a day left before the secret realm opens." Wanxiang Immortal also echoed, "It is impossible to set up a huge formation to stop so many Yuanying cultivators within half a day."

"The other party must have anticipated this, so they deliberately came in the last half day to catch us off guard."

The people in Shushan were talking and discussing for a long time. Suddenly, Shi Liuli from Penglai spoke:

"Why bother going far away? Your sect has the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword, and can set up the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust formation at any time. Then, you can ask a Yuanying elder to hold the sword and set up the formation, right?"

"This is not possible." Su Jian rejected it immediately. "The Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword is a sword worn by an immortal. This is known to everyone in the world. Even if it is lent to the peak master elder for use, it will be hard to explain it outside. In the end, it will still become 'Shushan immortal holding a sword to stop a Yuanying cultivator'. How is it different from the immortal taking action directly?"

Qiu Changtian listened silently and laughed in his heart.

To put it bluntly, although Shushan advocates a tough stance, it cannot be Shushan alone that takes the tough stance and offend all of these dispatched Nascent Soul elders. Instead, the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion must stand together and take the tough stance.

Liuli Lady's suggestion seemed to be in line with Shushan's tough stance, but in fact it required Changmei Immortal to take action to shield the three sects, which Shushan was certainly unwilling to do.

The atmosphere on the field fell silent again. For a moment, no one had any good ideas... or rather, they were all disgusted by the shameless method of "using the whole world to force the orthodox religion" by the devil Wei.

"Actually." Qiu Changtian said again leisurely, "Have you ever thought about this?"

"Can the Demon Lord Wei control other Nascent Soul cultivators who are not from the Demon Sect?"

Everyone was silent, and after a while someone asked:

"Does Elder Chang Geng mean that we can use the strategy of sowing discord?"

Qiu Changtian choked when he heard this, and then he said:

"You can put yourself in the shoes of these sent-out monks. Now there is the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm, which is occupied by the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church. At this time, a monk from the Demonic Church came to visit privately, saying that he could gather a large number of fellow monks to denounce and demand a share of the spoils from the Orthodox Church... I think everyone will agree, right? After all, the law does not punish the masses. Even if nothing is gained in the end, the Orthodox Church will not hold you accountable. After all, there are so many fellow monks present, and the Orthodox Church cannot punish them all."

“But if the demon sect monks said that we should all act in unison and obey the orders of Alliance Leader Wei… then as the elders of the sect, would you still agree?”

"Of course I disagree." Someone from Shushan said, "I am not a Six Paths cultivator, and I am also a Yuanying elder. Why should I follow the orders of the Six Paths?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ling Yunpo, the master of Taiyin Sword - this time he was the one who supported himself.

Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Qiu Changtian continued:

"Although the foreign monks are dissatisfied with our Orthodox Three Pure Ones, they certainly don't want to be in cahoots with the Demonic Six Paths. Therefore, I predict that the Demon Head Wei has very limited control over the foreign monks. Maybe he just incited them and couldn't control them at all."

"Brother, what you mean is..." Xu Yinglian beside him also understood, "Is the Wei devil trying to delay the war?"

"For example, we have agreed with Demon Lord Wei that we will send out twelve people and the other side will send out twelve people." Qiu Changtian said slowly, "Now it's the turn of the Demon Cult monks and the external monks to share the twelve places. How should we divide them?"

"Inside the Demon Sect, of course, Demon Master Wei has the final say. If more quotas are allocated to this sect, then this sect will offer corresponding benefits, and we will always be able to reach an agreement in the end."

"But the quota for external monks cannot be divided properly no matter how. If it is given to a few people, the rest will have no chance. How can you give up?"

"Plus, as the leader of the Demon Cult, he can't control so many sent-out Yuanying elders. So in the end, those who didn't get a spot will definitely choose to rush in on the spot."

"So, there is no need to say anything more to those thieves." Master Ziwei nodded and concluded, "We don't need to worry about the twelve places. When the time comes, everyone will gather their best troops and rush into the secret realm, and it will all depend on their own abilities!"
