As the head of Shushan, Dugu Yuyun has already realized his own way.
Follow the laws of nature and conform to the will of heaven.
Everything has its destiny, and his way is to conform to this destiny.
It's not that he is heartless and ungrateful, but he has seen clearly that in the face of destiny, any resistance is futile and will only add to the bitter consequences.
For example, Uncle Master Jiang Ming, although he knew that love between humans and demons was against heaven, he still fell deeply in love with the fox demon, which almost led to the destruction of the Shushan clan.
The fox demon failed to save his companions in the Demon Locking Tower, and Jiang Ming also became a demon with his remaining soul trapped in the tower, unable to escape.
How painful it is!
Complying with the laws of nature, although a bit cruel, will ultimately cause the least harm to the world.
Dugu Yuyun has always adhered to this idea.
Until I saw Zhao Linger.
He did misunderstand at first. After learning that she was Qing'er's descendant, his faith in Taoism was shaken for a moment.
However, after careful consideration, he finally gave up his plan to go against the will of heaven.
He is the head of Shushan and shoulders the fate of the sect.
It is difficult to defy the laws of nature.
If this resulted in the same ending as Jiang Ming, how would he have the face to meet his predecessors in the future?
Even so, Zhao Linger also brought him good news.
The young man named Li Xiaoyao was as talented as his junior fellow apprentice Situ Zhong, and his way of doing things reminded him of himself when he was younger.
There are few promising talents among the younger generation of Shushan disciples nowadays, so he intends to take this opportunity to pass on his teachings to Li Xiaoyao so that this young man who practices Shushan swordsmanship can take over the position of Shushan's head in the future.
Originally everything was going as planned, and he could vaguely see the fate of everyone.
But today, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if everything was out of control.
Dugu Yuyun sat cross-legged, calming his mind and trying to sense the way of heaven.
The originally bright future suddenly became confusing.
Just when Dugu Yuyun was feeling restless, he suddenly heard the panicked voices of his disciples.
"What's wrong?" He looked at the disciple who broke into the hall.
"Master, it's bad, the Demon Locking Tower is shaking!" The young disciple looked nervous, "It's about to collapse!"
Dugu Yuyun was secretly shocked and stood up suddenly.
According to his original prediction, the Demon Locking Tower should have collapsed only after the arrival of the Moon Worshiping Leader, who secretly controlled it with the cooperation of Li Xiaoyao and others.
But now everything is obviously too early!
By the time he stood up and walked outside the palace gate, a loud rumbling sound was heard.
Looking at the collapsed Demon Locking Tower and the terrifying demonic energy emanating from it, Dugu Yuyun's face suddenly changed.
However, when he saw the white figure floating above the ruins of the Demon Locking Tower, he stopped in his tracks, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
Compared to the first time they met, the girl's aura had changed drastically.
Dugu Yuyun felt a strong threat from him.
When he saw the monsters standing behind the girl and following her lead, Dugu Yuyun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
If these people were to target Shushan...
As he was thinking this, he saw the girl just glanced at him from a distance and then turned away.
The monsters also dispersed one after another.
Looking at the direction where it disappeared, Dugu Yuyun felt lost.
…
Zhao Linger’s current strength is indeed not weaker than that of the Shushan Sword Master.
After purchasing the Vajra Indestructible Body and 40,000 years of Taoism, she returned to the Demon Locking Tower.
She then cleaned out the Demon Locking Tower again, killed the brutal demons, and used the words Su Luo told her to liberate Jiang Ming's soul. She then broke through the Demon Locking Tower and led all the demons to break through.
She sold the bodies of the Prison King and other monsters she killed to a tavern, making full use of them. After getting a large sum of money, she upgraded her own Taoism to over 100,000 years.
Now she has few rivals in the world.
Originally she wanted to wait for Li Xiaoyao to show up, but later she was worried about bringing danger to the other party, so she simply went to find the Moon Worshiping Leader alone.
But before that, she planned to gather the five spirit beads and get the Heavenly Serpent Staff.
Fortunately, she had already learned the location of these treasures from Su Luo, and she was able to gather them together with a little effort.
After buying the Thunder Spirit Pearl and Earth Spirit Pearl that she had sold earlier from the tavern, Zhao Linger rushed towards the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader.
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, who had gone to Shushan in vain, also went straight to the Moon Worship Sect's headquarters.
The same is true for Situ Zhong.
He went back to Mount Shu and said to his frustrated senior brother, "Things have changed," and then he quietly packed up all the cultivation secrets collected in the sect and sold them to the tavern.
Now he is confident that when he faces the Moon Worshiper again, he can kill him within ten moves!
When Situ Zhong caught up with Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru after traveling thousands of miles, and the three of them arrived in southern Xinjiang together, they saw that the Moon Worshiping Leader was already dying like a stray dog.
He was seriously injured after his last fight with Situ Zhong. When he returned to southern Xinjiang, he was not yet fully recovered from his injuries when he met Zhao Linger who came to visit him.
The Moon Worshiping Sect leader originally thought that even though he was seriously injured, it would be easy to kill this descendant of Nuwa. However, he did not expect that the other party's strength was far beyond his expectations.
He felt like the world must be crazy.
Why is this descendant of Nuwa so powerful?
She is so young, but her strength is probably a thousand times stronger than her mother!
In desperation, the Moon Worshiper used his trump card.
Regardless of his serious injuries, he used up his last bit of strength to summon the water monster and become one with it!
But it was still not enough! When the combined water monster was still beaten by Zhao Linger without any chance to fight back, the Moon Worshiper was going crazy.
He tried to manipulate the flood to attack mortals in order to distract Zhao Linger.
But this behavior completely annoyed her.
Under Zhao Linger's full-force attack, the water monster was quickly defeated.
The floodwaters had already been dyed red with blood, and the Moon Worshiper's consciousness was even more distracted.
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru watched this scene from afar and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Situ Zhong, however, took a sip of wine in a depressed mood.
He secretly sold all of Shushan's skills to the tavern just to save the people, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have to do it himself.
A moment later, the huge water monster fell in the flood, barely breathing.
Seeing Zhao Linger raising the Heavenly Serpent Staff to deal a fatal blow, Situ Zhong stepped forward and said, "Wait."
Only then did Zhao Linger notice everyone and her face lit up with joy.
But looking at the water monster that was still trying to struggle, she hesitated again: "Should I let it go?"
Water monsters are violent by nature and cannot be tamed at all.
"These partially dead ones are more valuable if sold to a tavern!" Situ Zhong said with a smile.
Zhao Linger suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, thank you."
She suddenly leaped out and pressed her palm on the huge head of the water monster.
The water monster's body trembled, and it wanted to escape but it had no strength at all.
But soon, it realized that this palm was not meant to kill it, but its consciousness quickly became dispersed.
