Chapter 109 Demon Lord Selection

There is no time limit for cultivating immortals, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In three years, Nanwang successfully completed all the studies in Futang and was elected as the head of Futang.

The Fu Hall actually has the position of deputy hall master. Under normal circumstances, Nan Wang should serve as the deputy hall master for a period of time before officially taking over as hall master.

However, when Nanwang graduated from Futang, the original head of Futang had retired to the second line "for some reason" and became the great protector of Tianmo Sect.

For the Fu Hall to operate normally, it needs a Hall Master, and there can be no delay for a single day, so the former Hall Master proposed to hold a public vote as soon as possible to select the Hall Master from among the several Deputy Hall Masters.

Nan Wang knew about this, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he had just taken office and never thought that he was on the recommended list.

What is outrageous is that, apart from several of Nanwang's deputy hall masters who supported Nanwang in various private occasions, when the final vote came, Nanwang won the position of the new hall master with a monopoly of votes.

The moment he saw the number of votes, Nan Wang thought he was hallucinating.

The vote has already been cast, and it is impossible to change it.

Thus, Nanwang inexplicably became the new hall master, taking full responsibility for all the affairs of the Fu Hall.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he talked privately with several deputy hall masters. After hearing about Nan Wang's purpose, these people howled and swore an oath in their hearts, promising that they had no intention of replacing Nan Wang.

Nan Wangjian really couldn't get anything out of them, so he could only let them go.

He gritted his teeth and fucked the hall master for a while, and was depressed all day long. Finally, Qi Wuqi, his friend who studied talisman making with him in the past, couldn't stand it anymore and secretly revealed some information to him.

Qi Wuqi did not tell him the truth directly, but asked him a question instead: "During the Magic Talisman Competition, an examiner attacked you. Do you know where he is now?"

Nanwang couldn't really remember anything that happened so long ago, so he could only close his eyes and guess, "Served as a guardian in the Fu Hall?"

Qi Wuqi: "About the same, except that the grass on top of my head has grown three meters high."

Nanwang: “…”

What on earth is Tong Yan trying to do! Is he crazy?

Qi Wuqi said again: "So, who dares to compete with you for the position of hall master..."

Nan Wang met Qi Wuqi's scrutinizing gaze and said with gritted teeth: "He and I really have nothing to do with each other. An Nuo and I are a couple for life!"

Qi Wuqi nodded and said, "I understand. He has a one-sided love for her."

Nanwang: “…”

To be honest, he did doubt this possibility.

But in the past few years, he has carefully observed Zhong Wangsheng's behavior, and he feels that Zhong Wangsheng probably has no such thoughts about him.

If we have to say, the most likely reason behind Zhong Wangsheng's excessive protection of him is friendship, and the second most likely reason is family affection.

He could sense that Zhong Wangsheng must be in a very relaxed state when he was with him, but once Zhong Wangsheng relaxed, he would sit there in a daze, his mind wandering, not even looking at him, and no one knew what he was thinking.

This is clearly not a sign of interest in him.

With Qi Wuqi's "informing", Nan Wang successfully gained motivation.

You must make him the head of the hall, right? Okay, let him be the head of the hall.

He systematically learned how to make talismans in Fu Tang, which should be considered the most important experience in his life. Out of gratitude to Fu Tang alone, he would not sit idly by and watch Fu Tang fail in his hands.

However, not losing is one thing, and deciding on the next direction is another.

The uses of the demon clan's magic talismans are very different from the needs of the immortal sect, but Nan Wang is in power now, so he can naturally use the power in his hands to allow these demon clan's talisman cultivators to make immortal talismans that can also be used by immortal cultivators.

Of course, if he taught them the magic talismans directly, it would seem too deliberate, so Nan Wang chose to teach them the talismans that could drive away both spiritual energy and demonic energy, opening the door to a new world for the disciples of the Talisman Hall in one go.

Before long, Nan Wang's fame spread throughout the entire Tianmo Sect. All the disciples of the Fu Hall recognized that Nan Wang was the most powerful hall master in history. Even the old hall master who had abdicated was very pleased and felt that his abdication that year was a wise decision.

Afterwards, the legend of Nanwang began to spread throughout the talisman-cultivating world. Disciples from other sects came to him upon hearing his name, paying high tuition fees to sit in on Nanwang’s classes.

While promoting the Immortal Demon Talisman, Nanwang also joined forces with the weapon cultivators within the sect to promote the photo-recording and communication system he had designed for the Qingyun Sect in the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect's photo-recording stone could even record images, and it was extremely effective and convenient to use.

As a result, Nanwang became even more famous. Later on, the disciples and guardians forgot about their leader Tong Yan, and would naturally go to Nanwang to discuss matters whenever they had any problems.

As the leader, Tong Yan usually had to take on the task of pretending to be Zhong Wangsheng to help Nanwang. His time was greatly diverted and he had to give up many opportunities to show up as the leader. He soon gained a reputation as a "recluse who rarely goes out and doesn't like to be disturbed", which made many guardians and disciples stay away from him.

Nanwang is different. He doesn’t have a high level of cultivation, but he is very approachable and can cook barbecue, which makes him very popular among people.

Soon, the entire Tianmo Sect began to revolve around Nanwang.

Tong Yan did not make any comment on this, and seemed to have no objection to Nan Wang's attempt to seize power from him.

Nan Wang, however, judged Tong Yan by his own standards and felt that Tong Yan would sooner or later break up with him, so he started preparing for the next step in advance.

It has been too long since he left Qingyun Sect. Now that his purpose of learning talisman making in the demon clan has been achieved, he can no longer spend his days in leisure.

There is no rush to go to Wu Ge to find out the truth about the time travel, but the time to assassinate Tong Yan has become imminent.

Recently, secret manuals have appeared in the Northern Territory like a gushing well, and all places have experienced a shortage of combat power. However, Tong Yan's strength has increased greatly as a result. With the help of a large number of secret treasures, he has broken through to the late Yuan Infant stage and is about to reach the God Transformation stage.

Once Tong Yan breaks through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, he will gain a very important ability as described in the original novel - shedding his soul and being reborn.

As long as he deposits a part of his consciousness somewhere else in advance, he can be resurrected through that small piece of consciousness when his original body dies.

At that time, thinking of killing him would be complete nonsense.

Either he would take action before Tong Yan became a spirit, or he would kneel down and beg for mercy after Tong Yan became a spirit. Other than that, Nan could not think of a third possibility.

In the past few years, Nan Wang has been practicing and making talismans desperately, and he has become as proficient in sneaking out to secret realms as he is in going on vacation. However, even though he has achieved this, his cultivation level is still only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

With this level of cultivation, it would be a miracle if he could last half an incense stick against Tong Yan.

However, if your cultivation is not enough, you still have to take action.

It is possible that Tong Yan would let him go because of their long-term friendship, but what about Qingyun Sect? What about his fellow disciples?

Nan Wang knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to kill Tong Yan by his own ability, and he did not dare to rely on others. If Du Xueling really faced Tong Yan, he was not sure who would win or lose... The safest and least damaging way was to let Tong Yan die in the secret realm.

Even though Tong Yan is the male protagonist, his path of cultivation is not entirely smooth. In the original work, the biggest crisis Tong Yan experienced was in the secret realm.

In the original novel, Tong Yan eventually escaped danger and successfully obtained the golden finger, but now with the variable of Nan Wang, the situation is different.

Nanwang knows how to obtain the secret manual, and also knows how to make the secret realm collapse.

He could find a way to make Tong Yan lose the conditions to escape danger, and finally be dragged to death by the secret realm.

As for whether he can get out...that's up to fate.

He couldn't tell anyone about this plan, not even Zhan Chenming or other secrets, not even to his bedmate An Nuo, he couldn't reveal a word.

If he could come back, he would continue his previous life, find Wu Ge to learn the truth, and then return to Qingyun Sect to live peacefully; if he could not come back, at least others could still live peacefully.

Before that, he had to improve his strength as much as possible, even if it could only increase the possibility of his return a little bit.

Just as Nan Wang was waiting for the fateful secret realm to appear, a major event occurred in the Demon Cult.

The premise of everything is that a mysterious place suddenly starts to gush out water for unknown reasons.

The emergence of a large number of secret realms caused the entire Northern Territory to become a mess. Small and medium-sized sects sought help everywhere, while the large sects were also unable to take care of themselves and were unable to provide support.

After Tong Dongyang's death, the demon world encountered such a big crisis for the first time. All the people in the demon sect were waiting for someone to lead them out of the predicament.

That person is naturally the new Demon Lord.

Therefore, the Demon Lord election originally planned for three years later started ahead of schedule, and all the major sects arranged representatives to attend the meeting at the Seven Sins Sect, which was closest to the Nine-Layered Building.

In recent years, the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Sect has become more popular than during the time of Tong Dongyang. As the sect leader, Tong Yan is naturally the first candidate for the next Demon Lord.

In addition to the Heavenly Demon Sect, many other major demon sects have also nominated candidates, such as Zhuge Wuyun and Ping Chengshi of the Blood Robe Sect, Gu Yulin of the Rebirth Sect, and Wu Ge of the Ghost Corpse Sect.

Apart from Tong Yan, the candidate with the highest support rate is Wu Ge from the Ghost Corpse Cult.

There are many talisman practitioners in the demon clan, and naturally they have a certain say. As a cultivator who is outstanding among them and can be known as a "Talisman Immortal", Wu Ge's influence is extremely terrifying.

In addition, Wu Ge is also one of the best weapon cultivators in the Demon Cult. On a daily basis, many cultivators or sects ask him to refine weapons. These connections and resources accumulated over the years will become important weapons in his bid for the Demon Lord.

Nan Wang had no interest in the Demon Lord election at all, because he had read the original novel and he already knew that Tong Yan would be elected.

To take a step back, even if Tong Yan "lost" the throne of Demon Lord by a small margin due to his butterfly effect, so what?

It has nothing to do with him.

Choose, any choice.

No matter who the Demon Lord is, he cannot affect him.
