Before releasing Xuan Yuan Shumou, Xiao Feng had the system suppress the Demon Emperor's soul, sealing it away and putting him into a temporary slumber.
At the same time, an agreement was reached with the soul of Xuanyuan Shumou, who had been suppressed by the soul of the Demon Emperor.
“There was no deep-seated grudge between you and me. I targeted you before because you wanted to kill me, but now I can give you a chance to live again.”
"But I need you to promise that once you return to the Tianyi Sect, you will undermine your ancestor's power and protect my safety! When necessary, you will need to obey my orders. Of course, in front of outsiders, you will be the supreme Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect!"
Xiao Feng specifically instructed the system to transmit the scene of the Tianyi Sect members arriving to Xuan Yuan Shumou's soul.
In particular, when Nanli Tian was addressed as the sect leader, his smug expression and the flattering looks from those around him were striking.
Xiao Feng knew that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou cared a lot about his son Xuan Yuan Jian, so he specially had the system capture several shots of Xuan Yuan Jian looking at Nan Li Tian with a face full of resentment.
As expected, Xuanyuan Shumou agreed very quickly.
To say that Xuanyuan Shumou had a deep relationship with his ancestor would not be entirely true.
After all, they are ancestors from who-knows-when, so staying with the Tianyi Sect would certainly make them a pillar of stability.
But if this stabilizing force is not aligned with one's own principles, then it's better not to have it at all.
After all, Xuanyuan Shumou himself was quite powerful.
After Xuanyuan Shumou agreed to Xiao Feng's deal, Xiao Feng leisurely said, "I can also help you devour the Demon Emperor's soul. This body of yours will still belong to you. As long as you don't have any wicked thoughts about me, you won't suffer any backlash."
Xuanyuan Shumou felt only hatred for Ancestor Xuanyuan and Nanlitian, but his feelings towards Xiao Feng were more complex.
Xuanyuan Shumou was also very angry. He had only been "dead" for a short time, and Tianyi Sect already had a new sect leader, and the new sect leader was not from their Xuanyuan lineage!
The Xuanyuan Ancestor was not dead yet, but he watched helplessly as the Tianyi Sect, which belonged to their Xuanyuan lineage, fell into the hands of others.
Even if the patriarch felt that there was no suitable candidate in the Xuanyuan lineage, were all his disciples dead?
Xuanyuan Shumou was very unwilling. He knew that cooperating with Xiao Feng was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.
But now only Xiao Feng can bring him back to life, only Xiao Feng can give him back everything, so he is willing to listen to Xiao Feng and make an agreement with him.
Everyone present was stunned when they saw Xuan Yuan Shu Mou suddenly appear in front of Xiao Feng.
Among them, the one with the worst expression was Nanli Tian, the current sect leader of Tianyi Sect.
When Xuanyuan Shumou was around, he never thought about vying for the position of sect leader.
However, Xuanyuan Shumou died, and he was the next sect leader of Tianyi Sect personally appointed by Ancestor Xuanyuan.
His ambition had already begun to stir within those few short days.
Why should the Tianyi Sect belong only to the Xuanyuan family?
Why can't it be the Nan family's?
He was personally appointed as the sect leader by the Xuanyuan Ancestor!
To put it bluntly, even Ancestor Xuanyuan has already acknowledged his status as sect leader. So what if Xuanyuan Shumou comes back to life?
Their ancestor handed over the Tianyi Sect to someone else.
Despite having many thoughts in his mind, Nan Litian dared not reveal his ambition too obviously in front of so many people.
He walked forward with stiff steps, wanting to ask Xuan Yuanshu a few words of concern.
However, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou merely glanced at Nan Li Tian expressionlessly, completely ignoring him and showing no respect whatsoever to the current sect leader of Tian Yi Sect.
Xuan Yuan Shu Mou walked quickly to Xuan Yuan Jian and asked, "Son, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Has anyone bullied you?"
Xuan Yuanjian stared in disbelief at Xuan Yuanshu in front of him, then slapped himself hard. After feeling the stinging pain on his face, he knew that the person in front of him was real.
It really was my father! My father was still alive! My father had actually come back!
Why did Father appear in front of Xiao Feng just now?
Could it be that Xiao Feng brought his father back?
But wasn't Father's spirit lamp already extinguished?
"You brat, don't you even recognize your own father?" Xuan Yuan Shu Mou said with a gentle laugh.
"Father? You...you're still alive, you're alright, aren't you!" Xuan Yuanjian said, his voice choked with emotion.
Xuanyuan Shumou pulled Xuanyuan Jian into his arms and gave his beloved son a big hug.
"Your father is back. From now on, I'll back you up, and no one will be able to bully you!" Xuan Yuan Shu Mou said directly.
The disciples of Tianyi Sect all showed unnatural expressions after hearing what Xuan Yuan Shumou said.
Dynastic changes bring new emperors and new officials.
Xuanyuan Jian's previous position in the Tianyi Sect was equivalent to that of the former crown prince.
As long as you treat him well on the surface, only Xuanyuan Jian knows the bitterness and hardship behind his back.
But no one expected that Xuanyuan Shumou would actually return.
Xuanyuan Jian nestled in Xuanyuan Shumou's arms, sobbing and complaining. He didn't care about saving face anymore; he wanted to pour out all the grievances in his heart.
Because Xuanyuan Shumou died, he suffered grievances everywhere in the sect. His brothers, sisters, and junior brothers and sisters were all forced to leave.
Even he, who was on the verge of losing his life, had no one thinking of avenging Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, except for himself, who overestimated his abilities and wanted to kill Xiao Feng to avenge Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.
As Xuan Yuanjian's cries gradually spread, the expressions on the faces of many disciples of the Tianyi Sect became very strange.
Xuanyuan Shumou's return instantly changed the current situation of Tianyi Sect.
After all, a sect is not a real dynasty. Between the previous sect leader and the current sect leader, who is the true sect leader of Tianyi Sect?
The Tianyi Sect will likely be in chaos for a long time because of this.
The most awkward person right now is naturally the current sect leader, Nanli Tian.
After all, those who secretly tormented Xuanyuan Jian were all acting according to his wishes.
They were deliberately trying to mess with Xuanyuan Jian.
Because these people who wanted to curry favor with him knew that as the new sect leader, he couldn't do anything to Xuan Yuanjian, who had already become a cripple.
Therefore, without disturbing Ancestor Xuanyuan, he would let Xuanyuan Jian suffer more torment and scorn, and he, as the new sect leader, would turn a blind eye.
Ideally, they should torment Xuanyuan Jian until he obediently leaves Tianyi Sect.
In this way, he, as the new sect leader, not only gained a good reputation but also avoided the accusation of forcing the son of the previous sect leader to resign.
But from the moment Xuanyuan Shumou reappeared, all of this turned into hidden dangers and troubles.
Ancestor Xuanyuan frowned and carefully examined Xuanyuan Shumou.
After returning, Xuanyuan Shumou did not go to pay his respects to Ancestor Xuanyuan, but went straight to Xuanyuan Jian and carefully inquired about his well-being.
Even now, when he feels the gaze of the Ancestor Xuanyuan scrutinizing him, he no longer treats the Ancestor Xuanyuan with the same respect as before.
