Chapter 362 Huairen's Conditions
The man and the dragon worked hard for several hours, and finally they managed to fill the rift valley to the point where the river water could be seen from the ground.
The originally shaking ground gradually stabilized - this was caused by Huairen controlling the river water and gathering the evil souls and other things covered by the river water.
Baili Shuang had long stopped using her spiritual power to control the sea water - her golden elixir had long been unable to hold on, and she could only rely on the system's energy points to pull it. When the rain gradually subsided, she knew that the water that had been poured into the rift was enough, so she stopped.
The dark clouds had not yet dissipated, lingering in the air. The red fog around the rift had dissipated a lot, and most of it was collected by Huairen into the river.
The long river, where the water could just be seen, had been dyed black. Struggling shadows kept surging in the water, some of which looked like humans, while others could not even take human form.
"Oh, thank you so much, thank you, Daoist Fellow Baili," Huairen almost fell to the ground like a dragon, his body suddenly shrank a lot, he was breathing heavily through his huge nostrils, with a grateful look on his face, "If it weren't for Daoist Fellow's help, I'm afraid my life would be in danger!"
Baili Shuang had long respected Huairen, and hurriedly said, "The matter of Beiji Liuzhou is the business of my Taiyin Sect. I should be the one thanking you!"
"You are too polite, my friend. After all, the suppressed dragon soul was taken away by my dragon clan. As a member of the dragon clan, I cannot just stand by and watch. It's just that..." Huairen hesitated for a while before saying, "It's just that I have one more thing to trouble you with. If you don't mind, please give me a position of honor in Liuzhou so that I can guard this river."
Baili Shuang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The Taiyin Sect already worships the Taishui Dragon King. I will report to the Sect Master and add another one for you. I just don't know what name we should give this river? When we worship the throne, it will also have a name."
"I heard from you that you wanted to bring the people of Beiji Liuzhou to settle in Taiyin Sect. I guess you Taiyin Sect disciples will also come to Beiji Liuzhou to clean up the place, right?"
Unexpectedly, Huairen suddenly mentioned what Baili Shuang had not had time to finish saying before, and asked.
"This..." Baili Shuang was a little confused about Huairen's intention for a moment, but still nodded and said: "We do have this intention. After all, we can't just leave this place alone."
"How about we call this river 'Taiyin River'?"
Huairen's words made Baili Shuang stunned for a moment.
But soon, she reacted.
The dragon son of Taishui Dragon King is actually not a fool!
He is "negotiating terms" with the Taiyin Sect!
The river that surrounds the Arctic Island is called the Taiyin River. So it is almost natural that the entire Arctic Island belongs to the Taiyin Sect!
To put it more bluntly, at this moment, the meaning of Huairen's words represents the recognition of Taishui Dragon King - at least it represents that Taishui Dragon King and his line of immortals recognize the ownership of Beiji Liuzhou to Taiyin Sect!
The content of the transaction was just as Huairen had said - the disciples of Taiyin Sect needed to clean up the entire Arctic Continent, and the sentence he had mentioned earlier would serve as a sacrifice for his own position.
We can even boldly imagine that after the Taiyin Sect takes over the Beiji Liuzhou and Huairen has slowly dealt with the river water situation, he will become the "Taiyin River Dragon King" in the future.
As for future promotion paths and development plans, he can just copy what his biological father, Taishui Dragon King, did!
In an instant, Baili Shuang understood Huairen's meaning and thought a lot in her heart.
This idea can be said to be a win-win situation. Even ordinary immortal cultivation sects, even though they may consume a lot of low-level disciples, are reluctant to give up this piece of fat meat - don't forget that Tiangui Mountain was once famous for its rich mineral resources, which supported a sword sect that was once famous in the Ten Continents and Three Islands! Not to mention, Taiyin Sect will not worry about the loss of disciples at all - anyway, these leeks... ah no, it's the players, anyway, these players can be resurrected and used to start some long-term exploration missions, which is very useful, and they have to thank themselves!
Of course, Baili Shuang would not refuse this proposal, but the name "Taiyin River" was too straightforward. Although Taiyin Sect did want to control Beiji Liuzhou, such a naked oath was a bit ugly. Moreover, she would definitely be Taiyin God in the future. If there was another "Taiyin Dragon King", would he be considered her subordinate or colleague? Fortunately, Huairen was a dragon son. If it was a dragon daughter, when the people worshipped "Taiyin Niangniang" in the future, it would be hard to say whether they were worshipping "Taiyin God" or "Taiyin Dragon King"!
So she smiled and answered evasively: "It doesn't have to be called Taiyin. I see that this river surrounds the entire Arctic Island. It looks like a full moon and its color is as black as ink. Why not call it Wuyue River?"
Taiyin means the moon. The name chosen by Baili Shuang blatantly reveals the ambition of Taiyin Sect, but it also avoids disputes when everyone attains the priesthood in the future - "Wu Yue Dragon King" and "Taiyin Queen" are totally unrelated!
After receiving a nod of response, Huairen breathed a sigh of relief. His two large light golden eyes curved with a smile: "As expected of a human cultivator, you are really good at writing. This name sounds nice!"
"Then, fellow Daoist, please have a good rest first. I will start preparing to relocate the people and clean up the Beiji Liuzhou. In addition..." Baili Shuang said with a smile in his eyes: "The Taiyin Sect congratulates fellow Daoist. In the future, there will be another 'Black Moon Dragon King' in these ten continents and three islands!"
Baili Shuang's casual compliment really touched Huairen's sore spot - when he was so eager to create clouds and rain and to "build" a river to suppress this place, half of it was indeed for the innocent people here, and the other half was for profit.
After so many years, he has witnessed many disputes in the world with his father, Taishui Dragon King. How could he not guess that Taiyin Sect has a solution to this? Since they dare to intervene in this matter, how could they make so many trips in vain without being completely sure? Therefore, if he wants to intervene before the other party has time to reach out, fight this time, and bet on such a "godhood", he must react quickly enough!
There are so many rivers, lakes and seas in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, but how many people have achieved the title of "Dragon King"? It is not so easy to achieve the position of earthly immortals. It requires both chance and merit. If he doesn't take a gamble, he may never encounter such a wonderful opportunity again!
The biggest crisis had passed, and Huairen felt more and more proud. He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that could not be suppressed, and said modestly: "I dare not have such aspirations. Thank you for your good words, fellow Taoist!"
Both parties were very satisfied and exchanged a few polite words before saying goodbye and leaving.
However, Fang Xianyu, who was somewhat happy because she had successfully achieved her goal, had no idea that those players from the Flower Growers who had spent a lot of effort to compete for a spot to explore the Soul-Devouring Rift had been badly screwed by her!
At this time, in the meeting room of the Blue Star Flower Growers project team, more than a dozen people looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the live broadcast of the dark river water vaguely visible through the hazy drizzle.
Of the five players who came to Liuzhou with untold hardships, only one was left - two were washed away by the water, one was beaten to death by strange monsters, and the other was thrown into the rift by the rolling rocks caused by the landslide during the earthquake and fell to his death. The only one left was quick enough to take off with the wind and fly into the sky, thus escaping the disaster.
"What should we do now? There is no specific news from Wang Ergou and his team, but it is certain that something unexpected has happened here that we are not aware of!"
Someone in the conference room asked worriedly.
