After a long silence, You Ji finally said,""The sect master of the Ghost Extermination Sect seems to be a remnant soul from the tragic battle in Viper Valley. After the sect master was killed, he took out two important tokens that were originally lost in Viper Valley. The sect master's seal, the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Seal, and the Hehuan Sect's Fairy Thrice Wonders 'direct seal.”
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. He knew how dangerous these two tokens were. You Ji turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaofan.""You know what this means, right? Just as you have guessed, the two sects that have yet to disperse have revived and merged to form the Ghost Extermination Sect. More and more remnants of the two sects and some small sects have joined in, quickly standing on the ground and having the power to resist the Ghost King Sect.”
Zhang Xiaofan was still reading the book, but he stopped flipping through it. He said softly,""Even the remnants of the two sects that the Ghost King Sect recruited are affected by this, right?”
You Ji lowered her head and said with a hint of sadness,""You guessed right. After the two sects were destroyed, the Ghost King Sect took in the remnants of the two sects and went to the Exterminating Ghost Sect. They also took away many of the Ghost King Sect's secrets. After that, the Ghost King Sect was ambushed today and their branches were slaughtered tomorrow.”
Zhang Xiaofan didn't flip the book again. He asked softly,""Who are the people around the sect master of the Exterminating Ghost Sect?”
You Ji thought for a while and said," This Sect Master of the Ghost Exterminating Sect is very strange. He has all the newbies and remnants of the two sects that he gathered in the past month. He doesn't have any trusted aides." We easily got a few spies in the Ghost Exterminating Sect and even got some pretty good jobs.”
"What?" Zhang Xiaofan exclaimed in surprise.
You Ji looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said," Are you surprised? Although our scouts have pressed in, they are not effective for the time being. "The Sect Master of the Ghost Extermination Sect has divided his subordinates into more than 100 groups, and they are all under his command. When he gives orders during the battle, we can't catch his movements at all, nor can we wipe him out in one fell swoop. We can't even split the remaining forces of the Ghost King Sect to clean up his more than 100 small branches.”
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and said,""Isn't he afraid that his subordinates will rebel against him?”
"That's his strength," You Ji said in a deep voice. He promised his subordinates that as long as the Ghost King Sect was destroyed, the Ghost Extermination Sect would be disbanded, and the small Altar Masters would be able to lead his people to independence. At that time, his 100-odd small branches would have 100-odd small sects.”
"He's really powerful. He only cares about the present and doesn't care about the future. He expanded his power quickly and steadily, leaving behind a flash of glory in the history of the Demonic Sect.”Zhang Xiaofan moved his body and smiled.""There are so many people in the Ghost King Sect, and they are so powerful. Is there no way to deal with them?”
You Ji smiled bitterly." Although there are many people in the Ghost King Sect, the Sect Master has always been the one making the decisions. You, me, Azure Dragon, and Mr. Ghost have been assisting us. We've slowly become dependent on the Sect Master." And now? The sect master is in trouble, you, the deputy sect master, is missing, and the sect master is in danger. Big brother had been missing in the southern border for more than a year, and there was still no news of him. That Mr. Ghost also passed away under the Four Spiritual Array, and I'm the only one left out of the five managers. Although there's still Second Brother and Fourth Brother, they've been guarding the Divine Temple all year round and have ignored all matters for many years. How do you expect me to deal with them alone?”
Zhang Xiaofan stood there in a daze, unable to speak.
You Ji calmed herself down and turned her back to Zhang Xiaofan. She tried to speak in a calm voice,""I've told you everything you want to know. You should leave after you find what you want.”
As the voice disappeared, You Ji also walked out of the Essence Gathering Pavilion. She didn't return, and Zhang Xiaofan didn't ask her to stay. He stood in the pavilion with a book in his hand, staring at the iron wall of the Essence Gathering Pavilion.
Was what he did right or wrong?
One by one, familiar faces gradually appeared in front of him.
There was the Ghost King after his death, Mr. Ghost before his death, the righteous Azure Dragon, You Ji who had just left, the loyal Yan Hui, Killer Monk who liked to make his own decisions, the cunning Jin Ping 'er, the pitiful Qin Wuyan…
And the most important person, Biyao.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly woke up. Biyao was waiting for him, and what was he doing now?
She was thinking about some boring, irrelevant, and useless things!
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly picked up the book and started reading again.
The dunes south of the temple
Everyone from the Qingyun Sect smiled brightly as they watched Li Xun walk over step by step. They were full of sarcasm.
Li Xun was still calm and at ease under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He walked over slowly with a kind smile, like a friend who had returned from parting. There was no hostility or sadness. Even Zeng Shushu and Fa Xiang felt inferior to him.
Zeng Shushu saw Li Xun approaching and spoke first,""Ah, Senior Brother Li! How do you have the time to come and see our small team?”
Li Xun's smile froze for a moment before returning to normal. He smiled apologetically and said,""What does Senior Brother Zeng mean? Even though you are few in number, you are still the two pillars of the righteous path, how could I not come?”
Zeng Shushu also smiled." Senior Brother Li, what are you talking about? We have far fewer people than the Valley of Incense. We don't dare to trouble Senior Brother Li."”
Li Xun walked in front of Zeng Shushu and Fa Xiang and smiled.""Senior Brother Zeng, you're treating us as outsiders. It seems like you're intentionally isolating the Valley of Incense.”
Zeng Shushu secretly sighed at Li Xun's brilliant words and cupped his hands.""The Valley of Incense is full of talents and countless experts. The Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Chord Temple combined are not even half as powerful as the Valley of Incense. We are really afraid of causing trouble for your valley, so we did not dare to eliminate the demons together with your valley.”
Zeng Shushu peeked at Li Xun, who was smiling widely. Zeng Shushu changed the topic." We are powerless to fight with the Valley of Incense, but we still have the ability to protect ourselves. There is no need for Senior Brother Li to come and care about us. Even if we encounter a strong enemy, we will not sacrifice the dignity of the righteous path and ask the Valley of Incense for help.”
Zeng Shushu deliberately emphasized the word " help " and snickered in his heart.
Shika had been holding back her anger for a long time, and she also said,""That's right! Senior Brother Li, our Qingyun Sect protects the dignity of the righteous path. We won't embarrass ourselves and bow our heads to others for help.”
Everyone from the Qingyun Sect understood and added.
"We Qingyun Sect members are not people who are afraid of death. Even if we die, we won't disgrace our sect.”
"What's there to be afraid of bleeding and getting injured? What's important is your backbone.”
"Your Valley just needs to kill the enemies. Even if we all die, we won't cause any trouble for your Valley.”
"How unlucky, how can we all die? If you want to die, it will be those demonic people. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet..."
"Shut up." Everyone shouted in unison, giving a few people a fright. Among them, a pitiful person was so frightened that he retreated to the back of the crowd and stopped talking.
At this moment, Li Xun was really furious. He only wanted to cooperate with the Qingyun Sect to take the lead. It was not like he had suffered heavy casualties and begged the Qingyun Sect to save him. He had suffered such humiliation for no reason. The other party had not explicitly said anything about him. If he refuted, it would be like tacitly agreeing. He was really extremely cowardly and had nothing to say.
Shika looked at Li Xun's red face and deliberately asked softly,""Senior Brother Li, is there anything else you need? Your face is red. You must be sick, right? Hurry up and go back to rest. We came here in a hurry and didn't bring any medicine. Don't collapse here.”
Zeng Shushu smiled evilly and said," Senior Brother Li, Xiao Shi is right. Look at your face. It's getting darker and darker. You must have overworked yourself." You're the future sect master of the Burning Incense Valley. Don't you need to nourish your body? My Qingyun Sect has countless strange herbs and spirit medicines. On account of being a large orthodox sect, I'll ask the new sect master to give you a few carts of medicinal herbs so that the entire valley can be nourished. In the future, when you do things, you won't fall ill because of your physical weakness.”
Zeng Shushu had been playful and playful since he was young. He often bickered with his father. Now, his words had fully displayed the level of his years of 'hard work'. Li Xun, who was often praised by others, was no match for him.
Fa Xiang saw this, but it was not appropriate for him to plead for mercy. Looking at Li Xun, who was about to go crazy, he could only chant the name of Buddha in a low voice.
Li Xun was angry and resentful. However, the Qingyun Sect had withstood two calamities and its reputation was at its peak. If he attacked the Qingyun Sect now, it would only reduce the prestige of the Burning Incense Valley. Li Xun secretly blamed himself for falling out with the Qingyun Sect too early, but he did not want to lose this 'vanguard'. He could only muster up 120% of his courage and force out an ugly smile. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in an unstable tone,"Senior Brother Zeng, let's talk about business.”
Zeng Shushu pretended to be shocked." Senior Brother Li, you have a lot of people, and your aura is surging. You killed those devils and made them throw away their helmets and armor, hiding in their shells and not daring to show their faces. You can complete the great cause of eliminating the devils on your own. Do you still have anything to ask us?"”
The smile that Li Xun had barely managed to put on stiffened again. He suppressed his anger and said calmly,""Senior Brother Zeng, what are you saying? The Qingyun Sect is also a large orthodox sect. How can our Burning Incense Valley neglect it? I wonder why only the Valley of Incense is charging when the demons are being exterminated, but the Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Chord Temple are not taking action? Could it be that the Valley of Incense is the only righteous sect left?”
As Li Xun spoke, his voice slowly became louder and louder, and he began to scold angrily.
Zeng Shushu saw that Li Xun was extremely angry and did not want to continue making a scene, so he stopped smiling and became serious. Fa Xiang saw that the storm had calmed down a little, and he argued with Li Xun,"Amitabha Buddha, Senior Brother Li's words are different. We just want to see the situation clearly first and wait for an opportunity to defeat the Demon Cult in one fell swoop. We tried to persuade Senior Brother Li, but he didn't listen.”
Li Xun snorted coldly. In that case, I was wrong to exterminate the demons and defend the Dao, but you were right to hide here because you were afraid of the enemy?”
Shika-chan couldn't take it anymore when she heard this, and she immediately retorted angrily,"" Who are you talking about?..."
Zeng Shushu hurriedly stopped Xiao Shi and said to Li Xun,""If you want to complete the great task of eliminating demons, brute force alone is not enough.”Zeng Shushu pointed at her head." If we don't fight, we'll only suffer more casualties and harm ourselves." If he wanted to succeed, he had to rely on this to push himself to the best advantage. Only by knowing himself and his enemy could he win every battle. Haha, Senior Brother Li, look, I've gone too far again. Even if you don't understand, there's a reason. When I have time in the future, I can teach Senior Brother Li the mysteries of this.”
Did he really know much about combat?
In fact, it was Zeng Shushu's first time bringing so many people out to exterminate demons. She was under pressure and did not dare to act rashly. He seemed to be talking like a master, but in fact, he had read it from books. At this moment, he just happened to bring it out, and even he himself was proud of it.
Li Xun had become a brainless person. He could not refute Zeng Shushu, who was a glib person. He could only endure it."Does this mean that the Qingyun Sect will seize the opportunity to start a war?”
Zeng Shushu smiled back. "Our Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Chord Temple are also the pillars of the righteous path. We won't ignore the demonic cultivators.”
"Alright, then the Burning Incense Valley will have to experience the Qingyun Sect's prestige.”Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the anger in Li Xun's heart finally dissipated a little."I hope the Qingyun Sect won't hide here forever and lose the prestige of the righteous path. The Valley of Incense would always be waiting for the great might of the Qingyun Sect.”
Zeng Shushu vaguely felt that it was a good idea. Seeing Li Xun's happy expression, he was unhappy and said,"Alright, the Qingyun Sect will definitely fight and gain the righteous prestige of the righteous path. Even if we don't succeed, we won't be hunted down by the Demon Sect and won't dare to show our faces again.”
Li Xun's face fell. Zeng Shushu quickly smiled and said,""Senior Brother Li, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. You need to take care of your injuries. "Our Qingyun Sect has learned from our mistakes. We won't damage the prestige of the righteous path again.”
Zeng Shushu beamed with joy and made a 'please go back' gesture. Li Xun snorted coldly, glared at Zeng Shushu, and left with his hands behind his back.
Fa Xiang looked at Li Xun's back as he left and said to Zeng Shushu,""Why does Senior Brother Zeng keep humiliating him?”
"There are two points," Zeng Shushu said with a faint smile."One is to rub away his arrogance. Secondly, it was because of his purpose for coming here.”
Fa Xiang put his palms together." The Valley of Incense has suffered great losses. Senior Brother Li wants to use us as his vanguard.”
Zeng Shushu looked at Fa Xiang and said with a bitter smile,""I'm afraid that's not all. When we're injured, that'll be the best time for him to strike. He can take all the credit in one go.”
Fa Xiang shook his head.”
Zeng Shushu sighed." Sigh, you can't blame me for thinking too much. It's just that you've seen the current strength of the Valley of Incense. Anyway, it's better to be careful."”
Shika excitedly walked forward and said happily,""Today, I really vented my anger. Haha, look at Li Xun just now. I'm dying of laughter.”
Zeng Shushu and the Qingyun Sect members looked at Xiao Shi and laughed in unison.
Fa Xiang and Fashan looked at each other with their masks and shook their heads with a sigh.
