Chapter 712: Secrets Others Don’t Know



In the icy plains where the wind was howling, there was only the monotonous ice color that permeated the whole universe. A large space was looming in it, and a few wisps of fluctuating demonic energy were incompatible with it, but they kept appearing again and again.

The strong wind carried Sheng Xue and drifted in after several turns, making the creatures inside taste the breath of the human world for the first time. They couldn't help but tremble and were a little excited, but they remained silent, still shocked by the previous scene. But beside the stove of the Qingtian Sect, an old man with a sword on his head kept talking and was very nagging.

"Yan Meng, call back all the people outside the sect and make preparations to go south. Qing Xunzi and the others have been calling us these days, hoping that we will take action. But if we delay for too long, we will be exposed sooner or later. It is better to put on another show and gather the strength of the entire sect to force our way into the Wild Beast Forest."

"Do we need to perform again at this time?"

"There are still two months left, so we have to stay calm. If we are not careful, all our efforts over the years will go to waste. One misstep will lead to eternal regret!"

Yan Meng said he understood, but as he walked out the door, Pan Yu frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Pan Yu stopped talking. He could sense the demonic energy in the castle. The demonic energy he could sense directly could only be Hei Huang, but where was the Sect Master? She had not appeared since that day.

As the leader of the five most mysterious forces, Bai Dun rarely appears in front of outsiders and disciples. Only those with outstanding performance can meet her in the study and get her guidance. But as the deputy leader of the Qingtian Sect, Pan Yu is definitely the person who has seen her the most. As long as Bai Dun's body is not taken away by Hei Huang to perform a mission, they will meet every two or three days. But this time they haven't met for a long time. It has been five days since the last time he advised.

Although five days is not a long time, it is a bit strange that the demonic energy appears in the sect. Before the square-faced man can ask again, Hei Huang has appeared in front of them.

"Master!"

Normally, Pan Yu also called Heihuang "the leader", one is to get into the role, the other is to hide Heihuang's existence in front of more people. But this time, he was willing to call him that, and his greetings were no different from usual.

The slightly dull square-faced man saw this and quickly followed suit, not daring to be negligent. Even if he was confused, he kept it to himself. Hei Huang leaned back and sat down. The white jade throne that appeared out of thin air behind him immediately turned black and red. It was suddenly painted with patterns, showing its personality, and also announcing the coronation of the new king in front of the deputy lord.

"I thought you were going to ask me where Bai Dun was."

Hei Huang was now wearing a black and red dress, which was different from the black dress she wore before. When the white light disappeared, the dark color would also be destroyed, revealing its essence and becoming something else.

Seeing the more hostility in his voice, Pan Yu was more certain that the person in front of him was Hei Huang, not Bai Dun. But this had no effect on him. What he needed was a chaotic world. When the big shots were busy, he would have the possibility to carry out his plan. No matter where Bai Dun was now or what kind of misfortune he encountered, it had nothing to do with him. Pan Yu even wished that Bai Dun would die, because in that case, Hei Huang would have to manage both the Qingtian Sect and the Ghost Space at the same time. Would she have the mind to ask about his own affairs? When the war started, he would have a lot of opportunities to slip away.

"A wise man knows how to handle the current situation. Welcome the new king to the throne."

"As expected of you, Bai Dun's chosen deputy leader. You are indeed smart. Then I might as well tell you that Bai Dun is dead. From today on, I am the new leader of the Qingtian Sect!"

Pan Yu's heart trembled. Although his old face was calm, his eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction and joy. He and the square-faced man lowered their heads a little more, full of respect.

Seeing this, Hei Huang was somewhat pleased. He originally thought that Pan Yu and the others would turn against him. After all, he usually respected him only because of Bai Dun. He did not expect that he was so sensible. Hei Huang smiled secretly, but was also cautious. Such an unfaithful person could not be fully trusted.

Bowing in front of them, Hei Huang imitated Bai Dun's usual behavior and said with the bearing of a clan leader:

"No need to be polite, just sit down!"

Just this one sentence made Pan Yu feel that Hei Huang would not be the leader, but he still sat back in his original position. The square-faced man stood behind him, which was a manifestation of courtesy. Hei Huang glanced at him and frowned slightly.

"Pan Long, didn't you hear the Sect Master ask you to sit down?"

Pan Yu scolded, and the square-faced man whom he called Pan Long immediately did as he was told, his movements flustered. Pan Yu then looked at Hei Huang. Although she was sitting on the throne, with a charming figure and various postures, she always showed a mind that was different from her appearance. After all, in Pan Yu's eyes, Hei Huang was not as smart as Bai Dun, even though she looked more mature.

A person who has been in the ghost space for a long time, she has no friends, no teachers, she only has Bai Dun. But Bai Dun didn't teach Hei Huang a lot of things, she just imitated him blindly, sometimes she was very similar, her temperament was special and strong, but most of the time she was still a little flustered and at a loss. It was just her strength that made her no matter where she stood, no matter what she said, no one would refute her.

"How are the practitioners of the Qingtian Sect preparing?"

"They are gathering and approaching the outskirts of the Great Forest. Other forces have been contacting us during this period. I didn't respond at first, but in the end I thought it would be better to keep pretending for a while to avoid any accidents."

"No need to pretend, gather everyone in the sect and wait for the opportunity to come."

"But if that happens, they might come to encircle and suppress us in advance."

How could Heihuang be so naive? Did he really think that the current Qingtian Sect plus the monsters in the ghost space could dominate the world?

Pan Yu knew that the leaders of the four major forces would be destroyed soon if they gathered together. The Emperor Qishi only had two months to break through the seal and appear in the world. Although it was very close, if they wanted to come, it would only take a few days, and it would not take much time to destroy them.

When Pan Yu hesitated, Hei Huang said:

"A large part of Bai Dun's vitality and life energy has turned into a black dragon and headed south of the South China Sea. It's such a long journey, they must have noticed something. If we send people to stop them outside the forest now, it will only hinder their attack. It's better to stay where we are and wait for the right time to attack. As for those leaders, they won't come to us for the time being. They know we are not the only threat, so they are just making their own preparations and waiting for Xia Xiao to bring back news."

"Speaking of Xia Xiao, should we kill him or let him go?"

Hei Huang didn't answer, and Pan Yu didn't ask any more questions. He just changed the subject and said:

"There are more than 2,000 people in the sect, but only about 20 can see the changes in the sect master. Please rest assured, this will be a secret for a few people. I will notify them one by one later and tell them what to do."

With a curled mouth, Hei Huang showed some joy. But in Pan Yu's eyes, she was just enjoying the joy of victory in advance, but who will be the final winner is still unknown.

"The deputy leader is really likable, but tell me, what should I do?"

Hei Huang's expression changed, becoming extremely cold. When he looked at Pan Yu's old face, the latter was cautious in his heart. After thinking for a while, he put away his nagging temper and said:

"Tell everyone what to say and what not to say."

"So what should I say? What shouldn't I say?"

"You can tell everyone that they can get everything they want if they win. You can't tell them about the changes in the clan leader!"

"So are you hiding something from me?"

Pan Yu suddenly became a little nervous. The only sound in the room was the burning wood in the stove. Pan Yu's eyes fell to the ground for a moment. When he raised his old eyes again and looked at Hei Huang, he felt an extremely strong invisible pressure that twisted and changed the surroundings, turning this place into a strange space.

It was dark all around, full of eyes, staring at every part of him, the sweat on his forehead, his evasive eyes, and his clenched dry hands, the joints turned pale from excessive force, all of which were stared at. Pan Yu's body was tied to the execution platform, and Pan Yu saw the black and sharp sword about to fall and cut off his neck.

"have!"

Pan Yu's suddenly raised voice startled Pan Long. Is it really okay to talk to Hei Huang like this? He didn't know what Pan Yu saw that made him think so. But in the latter's eyes, the big knife stopped in the air, and the burning sound that reappeared in his ears drove away the darkness. The surroundings finally returned to normal, and the palpitations disappeared.

Pan Yu sat back in his chair, everything returned to normal, but he was still trembling slightly, which made Pan Long anxious. But he still maintained basic calmness and clenched his fists and said:

"I doubt whether Lord Quedan can really make me the most powerful one, because I am a human, not a wild beast. If I am treated differently, wouldn't everything I have done over the years be just a dream?"

"When the ancestor becomes a god, I will become one too. As long as you are still alive, you will naturally get everything you want. But if you don't behave well, you will become food for me or the ancestor."

Hei Huang and Pan Yu looked at each other for a long time. After that, Pan Yu stood up, bowed and said:

"Pan Yu swears to serve the master till death!"

"I'm waiting for you to clear the way for me!"

"Please, Master, grant me a little magic source."

"Take it!"

Hei Huang waved his hand and smiled, watching Pan Yu, who was holding the magic source in both hands, disappear into the room. The latter took a few breaths and put away the magic source, thinking it was a close call. When he told Pan Long what Hei Huang had done to him, the latter widened his eyes and asked in surprise:

"Is she stronger than before?"

"Hmm! I guess even Qingxunzi and the other three would have a hard time defeating her alone in the Great Wilderness, but Quedan is still better than her."

"Can our plan still be carried out?"

Pan Long was a little worried, but his eyes were full of the flame of determination. The flame of the soul will only go out when the end of life is approaching, but as long as it is still burning, Pan Yuju will not give up. He glared at Pan Long and cursed with some regret:

"You are such a coward, such a good-for-nothing! You have been planning for so many years, and you can just give up because of a few words from a little girl? How can you accomplish anything great like this?"

Pan Long lowered his head and let him scold him, but he was also waiting for the day when Pan Yu would be reborn. The latter soon stopped caring whether there was demonic energy in the sect, and left the task of notifying more than 20 people to Pan Long, because he had more important things to do!

Compared to the changes in the clan leader, what Pan Yu was doing at this time was a secret that even fewer people knew about, and even the number of people who knew about it was only a handful. But the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better, and only his confidants were qualified to ask about it, but countless people had been mobilized by it, but no one knew about it!
