Chapter 383: Grateful to the Demon King, it makes sense
After roughly settling the disaster victims, Zheng Fa simply invited Luo Shangxian and others to come to Qingmu Sect to have a chat.
The Qingmu Sect's mountain gate had been robbed and was in a mess, but fortunately the cultivators had plenty of means and they repaired the buildings quickly. However, all the elixirs in the medicine garden and the immortal pills in the alchemy room were lost - literally.
Zheng Fa looked at the leader of the Qingmu Sect, Song, who was sitting on his right, and saw that his face was quite pale, which showed that he was very distressed.
There were also Luo Shangxian, Wuzhi, Mingde Shouzuo and others in the hall. At the very least, they were all in the state of incarnation. Sect Leader Song was a Nascent Soul, but his expression was as if the chair under him was not a chair, but the Great Free Demon King. He looked at Zheng Fa frequently.
Zheng Fa gave him a reassuring look.
I am just a golden elixir, yet I dare to sit here so arrogantly.
You are still a Yuanying after all!
Stand up a little! Of course, the main reason is that this place belongs to Qingmu Sect, and as the owner, Sect Master Song should have a seat.
"Shangxian Luo, I wonder what the rules of this five sects alliance are?"
He did not pay much attention to Sect Leader Song, but instead spoke to Luo Shangxian of Haori Mountain, and glanced at Wuzhi by the way. This alliance of five sects was proposed by the true disciple of Leiyin Temple.
There was still a hint of caution in Zheng Fa's heart.
The Five Sects Alliance sounded good, but he also did not forget that the purpose of these two people coming here was not very pure.
One person wants Qingjing bamboo, the other wants Fusang wood. Naturally, what these two people say makes people suspicious.
Luo Shangxian seemed to have seen through his suspicion, and there was a hint of anger on his face, but when he looked at Senior Sister Zhang sitting on Zheng Fa's left and Xie Qingxue sitting on his right, he was speechless for a moment, and only snorted and said, "Don't Tianhe Sect understand?"
Xie Qingxue's face was as pale as snow, and she looked so fragile that she seemed to break at the slightest touch, but she still spoke:
"The Five Sects Alliance, I heard about it in a letter from Master a few days ago."
"Because the five sects of Xuanwei have accumulated a lot of grievances, and now the Xuanwei world is in chaos, the elders of the five sects proposed the idea of forming an alliance."
"The most important thing... is to define each other's sphere of influence and fight against the possible appearance of the Demon Ancestor. Finally, we will sign a covenant. If anyone breaks the covenant, the Immortal Sect will attack him together."
As soon as he said this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Wu Zhi - why did you say this, Wu Zhi, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? What Xie Qingxue said was similar to what Luo Shangxian said before. He still believed this girl. So...
"So the Hundred Immortals Alliance originally..."
He suddenly thought of a question.
Xie Qingxue was silent for a moment, then looked at Luo Shangxian again. Luo Shangxian narrowed his eyes and said, "We have discussed this before. This area of the Hundred Immortals Alliance should belong to our Haori Mountain."
This matter is a bit troublesome.
According to Xie Qingxue's words, Zheng Fa understood the essence of this so-called Five Sects Alliance:
Divide the territory! "Does it mean that within the sphere of influence of the five sects, other immortal sects cannot interfere?"
Xie Qingxue nodded.
This is indeed a way to reduce some conflicts. Zheng Fa even suspected that such an alliance meeting might have been held in Mu Qingyan's "memory".
After the alliance meeting, the five sects will probably have a wave of integration.
In the future, it will become the so-called Taoist Buddhist land, the holy land and the divine court.
Simply put, this alliance meeting of the five sects is more like a division of the immortal sect’s resources and power.
The five sects have made a decision, so naturally they don’t care what the immortal sects under the five sects think.
If it were the former Hundred Immortals Alliance and Nine Mountains Sect, they would probably... be put on the dining table.
But now it is different: Jiushan Sect, thanks to the death of the Great Free Demon King, has the right to sit at the table! We can only thank the Great Free Buddy for giving us the seat! …
Sect Leader Song of the Qingmu Sect was listening on the side. His eyes became brighter and brighter, his back became straighter and straighter, his buttocks moved closer and closer to Zheng Fa, and the paleness on his face was almost turning into a flush.
Zheng Fa glanced at him, but he was not as excited as he was. However, he also had a plan: it would be best if he could participate in the alliance of the five sects.
There may be some benefits to going, but there may also be some dangers - mainly the danger of being discovered.
Not going...
It would be strange if he didn't go. Hiding it would make him seem guilty and would only cause more trouble.
Now, with the death of the Great Free Demon King, others cannot figure out the true situation of the Nine Mountains Realm.
Doesn't he know it himself? Xie Qingxue almost became a human being.
He and Senior Sister Zhang had tried their best, but most of the Great Freedom Demon Kings did not die at their hands.
If they really provoke the five sects to make a move and test them, their own strengths and weaknesses will be exposed...
That would be a bigger deal.
His mind was racing with thoughts, but a smile appeared on his face: "Since the Immortal thinks highly of my Jiushan Sect, it would be an honor for my Jiushan Sect if you could attend the meeting."
Luo Shangxian looked at Zheng Fa's frank smile and nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After talking about the Five Sects Alliance for a while, perhaps the death of the Great Free Demon King made this person feel uneasy, or maybe he just didn't want to talk much with these weak monks, so he simply stood up and said goodbye to Zheng Fa.
Wuzhi saw him running away and also walked very quickly.
Seeing the group of people walking away, Zheng Fa turned around and glanced at the Qingmu Sect's Sect Master Song. He saw that the man was standing in front of him with his head lowered, and was ten times more respectful than before.
Apparently he was shocked by what Luo Shangxian had said before about the Five Sects Alliance.
"I will send disciples from Jiushan to take care of the disaster victims, but you need to pay attention to it."
This time the flood and sea tide ravaged the two counties. The Qingmu Sect was the most powerful Nascent Soul Sect in the two counties, so it was most reasonable to hand over the matter to them.
"yes!"
Seeing him like this, Zheng Fa knew that the leader was a smart man. Since he had emphasized the matter again and again, he was not afraid that he would not take it seriously.
Even the Nine Mountains disciples who came after him also had a supervisory role.
The Five Sects Alliance... Judging from the nature of this alliance, the territory and perhaps the population will also be of certain use to Dao Fruit cultivators.
That means he wants to keep the territory of Baixian League, so he needs to manage it well.
…
After explaining things to Sect Leader Song, Zheng Fa took Senior Sister Zhang and the other two into the Nine Mountains Realm.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a black flag standing on the university island - it was the Ten Thousand Demons Flag!
This is also the reason why Zheng Fa wants to discuss matters in Qingmu Sect:
For some unknown reason, the Ten Thousand Demons Banner had slipped into the Nine Mountains Realm! After all, this thing was also a Dao Fruit-level magic weapon. If this thing was seen by Na Luo Shangxian and others, they might have other thoughts.
Beside the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, the old man and his companions, along with the Blood River Ancestor, were watching the fun.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on a person Zheng Fa was not actually very familiar with - Jiao Wuji.
He walked into the crowd and looked at Jiao Wuji with a puzzled look.
Jiao Wuji scratched the back of his head and stammered, "I...I seem to have some connection with this Ten Thousand Demons Banner."
Zheng Fa was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized.
He had previously thought that this thing came to him because of the Fuso wood.
Now it seems that Jiao Wuji is also very important!
"Wait, are you the only one who has cultivated the "True Solution to Ten Thousand Demons" to reach the state of incarnation?" Zheng Fa looked strange, and suddenly realized a big problem:
The Great Freedom Orthodoxy is in the Nine Mountains! The Great Freedom Demon King killed most of his demon clans in one battle.
Among the monsters who practice "The True Explanation of Ten Thousand Monsters", perhaps Jiao Wuji is the only one who has achieved the state of godhood.
Now, Jiao Wuji might really be the most orthodox successor to the Great Free Demon King! If we talk about the inheritance of the Great Free Demon Ancestor, then the two traitors, Chen Ting and Youmingxian, might have practiced the methods of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor. How could they be as authentic as the one from the Blood River Ancestor?
In the Nine Mountains Realm, the Ten Thousand Demons Banner is not considered a trophy at all; it is a completely legal and legitimate inheritance!
Because of this, Zheng Fa suddenly looked at the old man: "Master, you said before that you wanted to break through to the God Transformation..."
The old man looked bitter: "I tried my best to try it, but who knew..."
He pointed at the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in front of him and said, "One more of me won't be too much!"
There was a sense of loss on his face, that he was getting old and his children no longer needed him.
Zheng Fa didn't think so. In his opinion, both the Qingjing Bamboo and the Fusang Wood had some hidden dangers, otherwise he wouldn't want to try to transform them into Taoist fruits.
The current Jiushan Sect is like a child holding a gun - it can kill people, but it is very vulnerable.
Cultivation itself and one's own strength are the most important.
The importance of the Divine Transformation Technique should naturally not be underestimated.
"We didn't dare to look at Da Zizai's skills before. Now, if Da Zizai is dead..." As soon as Zheng Fa mentioned this, the old man's eyes lit up.
"Let's not talk about whether we can learn it or not, at least there should be no problem in comprehending it!"
The old man smiled happily and patted Jiao Wuji on the shoulder, reminiscing about the Great Freedom Demon King:
"This Great Free Demon King is really a good person!"
Jiao Wuji thought about it, looked at the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in front of him, nodded sincerely, and felt that he had never loved the Great Free Demon King so much.
Not to mention him, even the Blood River Patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I'm familiar with the methods of the Great Free Demon Patriarch! I'll teach you all!"
The people of the Nine Mountains Sect probably cannot directly practice the skills of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor because they don't have the bloodline.
However, what a Dao Fruit cultivator has learned throughout his life is the most precious reference material, which can allow Jiushan Sect to glimpse the path to becoming a god, and possibly even the essence of Dao Fruit.
Looking at the old man and the Blood River Patriarch standing together and muttering, Zheng Fa silently gave a thumbs up to the Great Free Demon King in his heart:
The Great Free Demon King used his own death to bring the Nine Mountain Sect the right to eat at the table! He also brought the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, a magical weapon!
Brought a technique higher than the level of spiritual transformation!
Brought laughter and joy!
It can even be said that the death of the Great Free Demon Emperor is more good than all the good things he has done in his life! If it weren't for his inappropriate status, he should have a card in the Jiushan Sect's ancestral hall!
…
The Ten Thousand Demons Banner has arrived, but Zheng Fa also has to say goodbye to the Qingping Sword.
There is also the close fighting partner Xie Qingxue and the insignificant and lousy spy Yan Wushuang.
Outside the Nine Mountains, Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue.
This senior sister of Tianhe Sect is the person he should thank the most.
In the battle against the Great Freedom Demon King, among him, Senior Sister Zhang and Xie Qingxue, the one who contributed the most was actually Xie Qingxue. In that sword strike, Xie Qingxue almost risked her life.
Later, she rested for three days before she recovered roughly, and her face was still a little pale.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Fairy. This word 'thank you'..."
Xie Qingxue curled her eyes and smiled at Zheng Fa, "The word 'thank you' is the word I hear the most in my life."
After that, she frowned again and said to Zheng Fa fiercely: "Don't think I'm helping you for nothing. The second half of the Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method cannot be missing!"
This...
Zheng Fa recalled that when they were dealing with the Great Free Demon King, Xie Qingxue was unwilling to leave, and the reason was that she wanted to learn the "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method".
Now, she has not yet finished learning this method, but she has to say goodbye.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In this kind of friendship, saying thank you would be an insult.
After a long silence, Zheng Fa suddenly raised his head, looked at Xie Qingxue, and said very seriously: "Xie Fairy, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, no matter how far away, send a message to Jiushan."
Xie Qingxue was stunned, staring at Zheng Fa's eyes for a long time, then she chuckled and flicked her fingers on the Qingping sword.
With a clear sword chant, a white tiger came riding on the clouds and lay at her feet.
Without even saying goodbye, this senior sister Tianhe took Yan Wushuang away, looking extremely free and easy.
Zheng Fa watched the backs of the two men and the tiger. Xie Qingxue might have taken what he said seriously, or she might not have taken it seriously, but Zheng Fa himself took it seriously:
If there is nothing wrong with Mu Qingyan's memory, the Tianhe Sect might be destroyed in the future.
Of course, he couldn't reveal this:
Otherwise, the reaction of Tianhe Sect would be unpredictable, and even Mu Qingyan might be sold out by him.
But as he said before, he could do nothing about what happened to the Tianhe Sect, and he didn't really care.
But if he had the ability, he would not sit idly by and watch Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang.
…
Xie Qingxue sat cross-legged at the white tiger's neck, her hands unconsciously playing with the white tiger's fur, as if she was in deep thought.
“Senior Sister…”
"Um?"
"You're not thinking about Zheng Fa, are you?"
Xie Qingxue was stunned, and turned to look at this junior brother. Seeing his strange expression, she knew what he was thinking. She glared at him and scolded him, "What's in your mind?"
“…”
Yan Wushuang shrank his neck.
"When you go back this time, keep your mouth shut and don't mention Zheng Fa as much as you can."
A look of confusion appeared on Yan Wushuang's face.
"The Five Sects' Alliance may not be a good thing for Zheng Fa..." Xie Qingxue's tone gradually became lower. Seeing Yan Wushuang was puzzled, she simply explained it more clearly, "Zheng Fa's use of the Golden Elixir to kill Daoguo is bound to arouse suspicion."
"Ancestor?"
Yan Wushuang was shocked and understood what his senior sister meant.
Xie Qingxue nodded and said, "One, of course, is to suspect that Zheng Fa is involved with the ancestor. This... is a life-and-death crisis for Zheng Fa."
A look of worry appeared on Yan Wushuang's face.
"On the other hand, even if he has no connection with the ancestor..."
"Killing a Daoguo with a golden elixir, who wouldn't covet the secret?"
Xie Qingxue's words made Yan Wu's eyelids twitch, and he shouted, "In this case, Zheng Fa shouldn't have gone to the alliance meeting?"
"If you don't go, you'll be guilty." Xie Qingxue understood why Zheng Fa agreed to Luo Shangxian's request and shook her head, "Only if you go, there will be a glimmer of hope."
"Where is the ray of hope?"
Yan Wushuang had an ugly expression on his face. When he thought about the situation Zheng Fa would face, he felt desperate.
"In me, in you, in Zheng Fa himself."
Xie Qingxue said while looking in the direction of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
"us?"
"I will go back to Tianhe Sect with you. It would be best if you could find out more about the Five Sects Alliance for Zheng Fa. In particular... it would be best if you could find a way to clear his connection with the founder."
"He and the Grandmaster have no relationship, right?"
Xie Qingxue glanced at her junior brother, as if she thought he was naive: "The Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method is a taboo in the first place, and now this Nine Mountains Golden Pill Method is derived from the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method. Although the methods are different, the essence is the same. If someone finds out, it will be hard to explain."
"It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of something, let alone this?"
Yan Wushuang blinked and became even more worried about Zheng Fa.
Xie Qingxue smiled, as if she had some confidence in Zheng Fa: "I'm afraid Zheng Fa has also thought about this problem. Since he dared to go to the alliance meeting, he probably has some ideas."
"We will go back to the sect to explain the situation to him. If there is any change, we can also inform him."
When Yan Wushuang heard this, he was stunned. This matter sounded a little familiar!
He thought so too when he returned to the sect last time!
He looked at the eldest sister with a strange look in his eyes, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: Why not try to bring his father to the Jiushan Sect? Who knows, maybe the Tianhe Sect has the surname Zheng?
Then what are you worried about?
"Senior Sister, is this what you are doing? Are you in such a hurry to return to the sect?"
Xie Qingxue glanced at him and saw that he had realized something. She said in a cold voice, "When we get back to the sect, don't act on your own. If you let something slip again..."
“…”
"Senior Sister, I will listen to you! I will tell you everything!" Yan Wushuang said excitedly, "You don't know how painful it is for me to carry such a big secret and not be able to tell anyone!"
There was a sense of excitement in his tone of voice as if he had found an organization.
Xie Qingxue pursed her lips, and her eyes became much gentler when she looked at this junior fellow apprentice.
Is it uncomfortable? It's very uncomfortable.
This silly junior brother thought he didn’t understand, but Xie Qingxue...had already understood it.
Xie Qingxue took out the Tongjian, touched it gently, and murmured proudly in her heart: I also have someone to say that.
…
As soon as they returned to Tianhe Sect, Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang were called over by the Tianhe Sect's head, Yan Wushuang's father.
“Master!”
Xie Qingxue's face was as cold as ice, but her posture was extremely respectful.
Sect Leader Tianhe Yan first looked at her, and seeing that she seemed to have not changed much, he looked at Yan Wushuang who was lowering his head beside him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He was too lazy to look at his unlovable son, so he turned around and looked at his beloved disciple. A smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
Xie Qingxue said respectfully: "I have gained a little. I feel that I am quite compatible with the Qingping Sword."
Sect Leader Yan's eyes lit up. He knew that his disciple was a man of few words, but he never lied. So she must be sure of what she said.
As the most talented disciple of the next generation of Tianhe Sect, Xie Qingxue also wields the Qingping Sword. In the eyes of the sect, she may be able to restore the glory of her ancestors in the future.
Therefore, her improvement in cultivation is a big deal for the Tianhe Sect.
Thinking of the master, Sect Leader Yan lowered his eyes and suddenly mentioned Zheng Fa: "You have a good relationship with the Sect Leader of Jiushan Sect?"
“It’s OK.”
"You killed the Great Free Demon Ancestor together?"
"Disciple does not know why the Great Free Demon Ancestor died."
Sect Leader Yan looked at his disciples and these words sounded like the truth.
Of course it was the truth. Not to mention Xie Qingxue, even Zheng Fa didn't figure it out.
But Sect Leader Yan naturally thought of the wrong thing - if Xie Qingxue didn't know, then the Great Free Demon Ancestor was really killed by Zheng Fa?
"Then Zheng Fa..." He paused, "Did he inherit the master's legacy?"
Xie Qingxue was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected this, and then she said honestly: "Disciple doesn't know."
"What do you think?"
"Disciple thinks, maybe... not." Xie Qingxue said with her head down.
"Oh?" Sect Leader Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Xie Qingxue hesitated for a long time, and seeing that her master was still staring at her, she stammered, “When our ancestor was in the golden elixir stage, he never killed a Daoguo.”
“…”
Sect Leader Yan twitched his lips and understood what Xie Qingxue meant - the founder himself couldn't do it, and you gave him the title of the founder's successor, which was tantamount to flattering the Tianhe Sect and the founder.
Even if Zheng Fa has a legacy, it may... be stronger than the legacy of Tianhe Patriarch.
That… makes a lot of sense.
He stared at Xie Qingxue for a long time, then glanced at Yan Wushuang, wondering:
After going out, this beloved disciple started talking like his own son. It was so annoying.
