There was a sound of gasping for air one after another.
"So cruel?!"
"Cruel?" The middle-aged man gave him a sideways glance, "There are more ruthless ones."
"Anything else?" The old man with the white beard looked shocked.
"Except for a few who were unable to participate in the battle due to various reasons, all the demon masters of the Soul Condensation Realm who entered the ruins of the Dragon Palace from the Yaozu this time have all died. It is estimated that there are no less than a hundred of them. Whether there is a greater possibility of this number, we have no way of knowing if the Yaozu side does not say."
"This... the Yaozu suffered a terrible loss this time." Someone sighed, "Shangguan Xin and Tang Shiyun are not here."
"Heh, do you think Shura, ferocious beasts, and man-made disasters are some kind of docile little animals?" The white-bearded old man has the temperament of a king of destruction, "Shangguan Xin didn't say anything, she has been missing for almost 200 years, who knows? She is already dead. If Tang Shiyun hadn't made a strong move in Wanshilou before, many people might have thought she was dead... But Wang Yuanji, Wei Ying, Song Nana, and Ye Jinxuan have always been very active. "
The crowd fell silent for a while.
Xuanjie is very clear about the destructive power of those monsters in Taiyi Valley.
"Now we need to add Su Anran."
"Su Anran is nothing to worry about." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "He is nicknamed Natural Disaster, and he has no outstanding record. The only thing that makes people afraid is his destructive power to the secret realm. As far as nothing destructive is concerned... the real thorny issue now is still with his senior sisters."
"The Yaozu have suffered such a big loss, I'm afraid they won't let it go." Someone said worriedly.
"It has nothing to do with us how the Yaozu plan to make trouble with Taiyigu. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to suppress the radicals." The middle-aged man continued, "I plan to discuss with Bailao and the sect master. Suppress those lunatics from the Radical Faction before they cause more trouble. At the very least... Let us get through the current turmoil. Besides, the last time we tried Sword Island, we have exposed the lack of foundation of our sect. If it doesn't work out this time..."
Everyone's face was gloomy.
Although Beihai Jianzong's status is embarrassing, it is not that there are no people in the sect who can really do things.
And even though there are many factions and chaos, each faction has considerable importance, and it can be said that one is indispensable.
Although the moderates are good people, their importance is unquestionable. If they hadn't been used as a lubricant, the Beihai Sword Sect would have split and internal friction; A part of Beihai Jianzong's disciples, so it is a very useful sharp blade, but no one can tell when it will hurt Beihai Jianzong itself.
As for the moderate faction dubbed moths, although they have no ability, they are good at making money. It can almost be said that the logistics of the entire sect are supported by them alone.If there weren't these people who are good at drilling, the Beihai Sword Sect might have closed down hundreds of years ago--the current head of the Beihai Sword Sect is from the merchant faction, and he is also the most capable person in the entire merchant faction.
As for the hardline faction, they are the only faction in the entire Beihai Sword Sect that can suppress the radical faction, and at the same time share some common ideas with the merchant faction, and are the only hub to neutralize the merchant faction and the radical faction.
"Tuk-tuk-"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Master, Elder Bai is asking to see you." Zhu Yuan's voice came from outside the door.
"Old Bai?"
Several people in the room looked at each other.
They just mentioned this moderate leader, but they didn't expect that the other party would come to him directly, which caught them off guard.
"Invite him to the hall first..."
"No need." Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and an old man who looked like a fairy and did not have the sharp aura of a sword cultivator stepped into the room, " It's urgent, so I came here first."
"Urgent?" The middle-aged man frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Huang Zi is here." The old man said solemnly, "The head of the sect has already received him in the lobby. And...Elder Xu and Elder Chen are also there."
"Huang Zi?!"
"Why is he here?"
"How is this going?"
Almost when the old man mentioned Huang Zi, there was an exclamation in the room.
Only the middle-aged man could hear what the old man said at the end.
——Elder Xu and Elder Chen are also there.
Of these two, the former is the leader of the radical faction, and the latter does not belong to any faction, but is a hermit elder with the strongest swordsmanship and formation in the sect.
If you count yourself and Elder Bai, it can be said that the real decision-makers of the entire Beihai Sword Sect have gathered together.
"Go." After pondering for three seconds, the middle-aged man nodded.
He wanted to know what Huang Zi's arrival this time was all about.
And, why did it come so fast.
You must know that the news about the collapse of one-third of the Dragon Palace ruins started to spread yesterday, but Huang Zi has already arrived at Beihai Sword Sect today. This is not a normal phenomenon.Because it has been thousands of years since Huang Zi visited Beihai Sword Sect last time.
It was also Huang Zi's visit that prevented the North Sea Sword Sect from declining due to the Xie Ming Sword Sect's attack on the island, and brought new vitality to the entire North Sea Sword Sect.
Of course, there are drawbacks.
Beihai Jianzong did work hard for a while after that, but as the situation improved, because he entered the comfort zone, he also cultivated a lot of moths, which planted the hidden danger of splitting for Beihai Jianzong.
For Huang Zi, the high-ranking members of the Beihai Sword Sect had a very complicated heart.
Hearing that Huang Zi came to visit again at this time, the middle-aged man's senses are quite complicated, and of course curiosity is more important.
"Do you know what Huang Zi is here for?"
"He should have come to endorse the book." Bai Lao said in a deep voice.
"Endorsement..." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "Our Beihai Sword Sect is like this, what kind of business does he want to do?"
"I don't know." Bai Lao shook his head, "Anyway, their chief steward of Taiyigu is here. All business dealings between us and Taiyigu are basically negotiated and taken care of by the other party, who is a very difficult opponent."
"Heh." The middle-aged man sneered.
"The master of the sect knows your attitude, so let me tell you, hide any grievances you have, don't show it." Bai Lao glanced at the middle-aged man, and said slowly, "This time the demon alliance The side has suffered heavy losses, the connection between us and the Demon League has been completely severed, if we offend Tai Yigu again at this time..."
"I said earlier that there is a problem with the decision-making of the sect master!" The middle-aged man's face was full of anger, "Those moths can only do bad things! They don't think about how to improve the strength of the disciples under the sect, they only want to have the right and the wrong, they think that the weak in the mysterious world are prey to the strong Is it fake? What's going on now? The Demon League wants us to hand over the people from Tai Yigu, Huang Zi came directly to the door, heh..."
"I've already talked with Elder Xu and Elder Chen once." Elder Bai looked ahead and said calmly, "The sect master is getting old, and it's time to abdicate."
"Then who will be the master of this sect?" The middle-aged man still had a sarcasm on his face, "Is it you, Elder Bai, or Elder Xu? Don't tell me, Elder Chen, who has long been indifferent to sect affairs, is suddenly interested Be the master of this sect."
Middle-aged men are very clear.
Back then, it was precisely because Chen Buwei was unwilling to be the head of the sect that he advocated making friends with Huang Zi, rejuvenating the entire Beihai Sword Sect, and thus gaining the support of the entire sect, the spiritual leader of the merchant faction became the Beihai Sword Sect Today's gatekeeper.
"It's you." Elder Bai didn't stop walking, and continued to move forward, leaving only an indifferent words floating down.
The middle-aged man stopped suddenly.
There was an expression of disbelief on his face.
Elder Bai seemed to have known it long ago, he kept walking, his lips moved slightly, although there was no sound coming out, but in fact there were voices constantly ringing in the middle-aged man's mind.
"Old Xu being the head of the sect will drag the entire Jianzong into the abyss and destroy the foundation for thousands of years. I am not suitable to be the head of the sect either, because I am not strong enough and too indecisive. Elder Chen has no psychology For other things, if he can't break through again, his lifespan will almost be exhausted, so how can he have the energy to distract other things? So the only and most suitable candidate is you, and only you."
"Does the master agree?" The middle-aged man stepped forward again.
"He has already agreed." Elder Bai said slowly, "For hundreds of years, he has chosen to cooperate with the Yaozu, which is a taboo for our human race. Now that he has broken contact with the Yaozu because of the Dragon Palace ruins, he also Knowing that I no longer have the qualifications and face to stay in that position."
"what should I do?"
"Do what a sect master should do."
"I see." The middle-aged man nodded and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his spirit was already different.
Chapter 186 Qianwen, go!
It is no secret to Xuanjie that there are many mountains and chaotic factions in Beihai Jianzong.
Many people even think that if it weren't for the great elder Bai Changsheng who has been acting as a lubricant to mediate all kinds of chaos and contradictions within Beihai Jianzong, I am afraid that Beihai Jianzong would have split up long ago.
Therefore, to outsiders, the most respected person in the Beihai Sword Sect is not Xu Ping, the sect master of the Beihai Sword Sect, nor is it Zhou Tianjian Chen Buwei who is still famous on the list of peerless sword immortals, nor is it the so-called Beihai Twin Swords Swinging Devil Sword Xu Chen and Broken Star Sword Shen De, but this Bai Changsheng who always smiles and looks kind.
Shen De became famous 3000 years ago. He personally experienced the incident of Xie Ming Jianzong's attack on the island. It was also that battle that made him and Xu Chen famous for their battle.At that time, many people were expecting that these two swords could be combined to make Beihai Sword Sect stronger.
In fact, Shen De and Xu Chen were once a pair of good friends who cherished each other, and they both made great efforts for Beihai Jianzong.
However, because of the disagreement in the concept, the two finally had to part ways.
Now one has become the spiritual leader of the radicals, and the other has become the spiritual leader of the hardliners.
But what Shen De didn't expect was that one day he would become the new suzerain of the Beihai Sword Sect.
He accomplished the goal that he thought would take hundreds or even thousands of years at once, Shen De was actually a little confused in his heart.
It wasn't until he followed Elder Bai Bai Changsheng to the main peak that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Beihai Jianzong, or Beihai Jiandao, occupies the largest island in the Beihai archipelago as the sect's base.
There are mountains, forests, and lakes on this island. It can be said that the scenery is quite beautiful, not worse than that of other parts of the five continents.
The main hall of Beihai Jianzong is located on a main peak in the middle of the island - the main peak is about 500 meters above sea level. The location of the main hall is not outstanding, but compared to the other peaks on Beihai Sword Island, it is already high enough.
Probably this is another manifestation of taller than taller.
In addition to being the official place for Beihai Jianzong to entertain and meet guests, the main hall is actually the living room of the head—the single garden behind the main hall is the living room of the head of Beihai Jianzong. The head's family and a group of true disciples are eligible to live here, and even the servants and followers are not eligible to live here, and can only live in the house at the foot of the main peak.
In addition, this is the hub, core, and eye of the three formations of the entire Beihai Jianzong's mountain guard formation, outer gate formation, and inner gate formation, and is the foundation for controlling all formations on the entire North Sea Sword Island island. .
Shen De is quite clear about every plant, every tree and every step of this main peak, even if he becomes blind, he will never fall down here.Because both he and Xu Chen were true disciples of the previous generation of Beihai Sword Sect Master, and they lived in this main peak for quite a long time-in a strict sense, he and Xu Chen can be called Elder Bai, and Chen Chen If you don't do it, you will be Tai Shibo.
As for the current suzerain of the North Sea Sword Sect, although he is of the same generation as Xu Chen and Shen De, he has not worshiped under the seat of the previous suzerain.
In fact, the outside world has long forgotten the attack on the island by Xie Ming Jianzong. After all, he is not a disciple of Beihai Jianzong. Who would seriously remember this history that has nothing to do with him?
Therefore, not many people in Xuanjie now know that Xu Chen and Shen De, the pair of Beihai twin swords, are true disciples of the same school, and the previous old suzerain also died of exhaustion in the battle of the evil sword sect's attack on the island. It was Zhou Tianjian·Chen Buwei who stood up to turn the tide in the end, and it was Xu Ping who almost had no backing at the time who became the head of the sect.
To use the Buddhist favorite saying, the world is impermanent, and everything is destined.
But Shen De didn't like this statement.
A sword cultivator should earn his life with a sword. My life is up to me.The so-called impermanence of the world is just an excuse for avoiding one's own inadequacy.
So Shen De doesn't like Buddhism, and doesn't like the weak Xu Ping.
But Shen De respected Huang Zi very much.
The reason is also very simple.
Huang Zi is the strongest among the five emperors of the human race. Even Yin Lingzhu, the strongest sword fairy recognized by all sword cultivators, can only be inferior to Huang Zi.
Tianjian·Yin Lingzhu, Mr. Da·Changsunqing, Living Buddha·Zen Master Shanxing, Old Man Shenji·Gu Sicheng, plus Huang Zi of Taiyigu, are the five emperors who represent the strongest individual combat power of the human race today.As the representative of the three great families, the Three Emperors are slightly inferior to the Five Emperors in terms of personal strength, but the symbolic meaning of the Three Emperors is not "individual combat power", but the focus is on the word "Emperor", which is group strength After all, there is still a big difference between the aristocratic family and the sect.
At the very least, it is impossible for the Zongmen to speak with one word.
But the aristocratic family can--the one who can become the patriarch of the aristocratic family is not the smartest in the entire family, but must be the strongest in the entire family. Only in this way can he truly convince the public.Because those who refused to obey them had already become dead bones in the process of fighting for the position of Patriarch.
Shen De was once young and frivolous, had many ideals, and...
In the dead of night, when he fell asleep, he fantasized about standing on the top of the mysterious world—after all, it took him less than 800 years from embarking on the road of cultivation to becoming famous in the mysterious world.
However, from becoming famous in the first battle to becoming the master of a sect, Shen De has gone through this step for 3000 years.
Now, he is nearly four thousand years old, and he has two direct disciples, and there are more than ten true disciples, not to mention the registered disciples.But as his cultivation got higher and higher, Shen De became more and more in awe of this world.
"Nervous?" Bai Changsheng said suddenly with his back turned to Shen De.
"No." Walking on the mountain steps, Shen De shook his head, "It's just a little emotional."
Bai Changsheng nodded, and didn't ask Shen De what he was feeling.
Climbing up the steps of the mountain, Shen De looked at the familiar flowers and plants, and the scenes of the past thousands of years were constantly recalled in his mind, but his heart suddenly became peaceful.At this moment, Shen De's aura was no longer as cold as a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, and even the sword aura was overwhelming. Instead, it seemed that a sheath had finally been put on him, completely wiping out his sharpness. Converge.
Sensing this change in Shen De, Bai Changsheng could not help but smile.
He didn't speak.
Because he was afraid of interrupting Shen De's hard-won understanding of the Dao.
If we say that before climbing the mountain, Shen De was still the junior who became famous in the first battle in Bai Changsheng's eyes. If he really wanted to fight with his life, he was confident that he would be able to win by half-maybe he would not escape death, but After all, it took him longer to confess his regrets than Shen De.
but now.
Bai Changsheng knew that if he fought with his life, he would definitely die.
This is a lot of accumulation.
The essence accumulated for 3000 years finally erupted at this time.
Bai Changsheng laughed heartily.
Not long after, they came to the front of the main hall.
At this time, Shen De finally came to his senses.
