Chapter 1558: The Past Is Gone
The Ancestral Star, or the Sealed Spirit Star, is just an ordinary star in this vast universe, but for Yu Ling, it is the most special one.
The boundless is very large, and the Daoyu is even wider, but the most real thing for him is the land under his feet.
It's the beginning of it all and a place that holds countless memories.
This place of peace is the hometown.
It had been a long, long time since Yu Ling had left here, even if he had smuggled in last time, it was only a quick glimpse, but now, he finally had time to settle down and feel the vicissitudes of life in the Seventeen Domains in the past six years.
The star barrier laid by the Phantom Spirit Clan has long been removed, and this place has become a free place where you can enter and exit at will, and throughout the entire universe, the aura concentration of the Ancestral Star is now also at the middle and upper level, not to mention that the Yuan Spirit Clan is also planning to set up a Dao array in the sealed domain to further nourish the aura of heaven and earth.
In the long run, the ancestral star may be able to drive the development of the entire chaos.
Yuling's first stop is Mingyu.
He didn't rush to report to the Domain's Phantom Spirit Palace, to be precise, it had already been renamed the Ancestral Spirit Palace.
In terms of the original infrastructure of the Phantom Spirit Palace, the two spirit clans only carried out simple renovations, and at most changed the names of the palace pavilions.
Since the surrender of the Phantom Spirit Clan, the two Great Spirit Clans have sent some elders to the Ancestral Spirit Palace and control the supreme power.
After a period of buffering, they were already basically familiar with the affairs of the ancestral star, so they began to lay off the clerks of the Phantom Clan, and placed their own personnel in various positions.
Since the Dao Spirit Clan's focus is on Dao Yu and Wuya, and the importance of the Ancestral Star is average, while the Yuan Spirit Clan is more familiar with the situation of the Ancestral Star, and has sent many more capable elders, the two clans are currently in a state of parity.
Judging from the high-level team in the future, the two clans are also roughly balanced, and the deputy hall masters are two Yuanling clansmen (including Yuling) and three Daoling clansmen, and the hall master is served by Banli Qijun.
On the bright side, the Yuanling clan seems to have the advantage, but Banli Qijun's personality is not a manager, although the Yuanling Linghuang really wants to send a doer elder like Yun Jiahe, but the Daoling clan will definitely not agree, so he has no choice but to make concessions.
However, His Majesty the Spirit Emperor had his own set of ideas, and he knew very well that a cultivator like Yu Ling, who was born and raised in the Ancestral Star, must be far superior to others in terms of connections and familiarity, so he had already greeted Banli Qijun and another elder, asking them to fully support Yu Ling's decision.
It can be said that Yu Ling is the actual supreme ruler of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, if you leave aside the group of Dao Spirit Clan elders who are in the way.
Therefore, after getting the news, he immediately rectified all the Ancestral Star cultivators who could be contacted, and organized them to return to the Seventeen Domains in batches.
Everyone's mood is very excited, so that recently, the entire Western Union has been shrouded in a festive-like atmosphere, which can be described as jubilant, auspicious, celebrated all over the world, and ran to tell each other.
Almost ninety percent of the Ancestral Star cultivators have chosen to go back and have a look, and half of them don't plan to go back to Boundless, especially cultivators over thirty years old, their roots are all in the Ancestral Star, since the future development prospects here are not worse than outside, there is no need to leave their hometowns.
The only person who has a headache is Nirabe, because half of the high-level officials of Western Union have slipped away, and calm people like Xu Che and Wen Nianxuan still know how to make arrangements before leaving, and let a few assistants temporarily replace the work, but Fang Zijin, who is off the line, can go back when he hears it, and directly leaves his subordinates who are reporting to work, and rushes towards the teleportation array like a stimulant......
Fortunately, Yuling had already let Nirabe cultivate a lot of spare talents from the time he was preparing the empty shell strategy, and as soon as Fang Zijin ran on the front foot, someone took over his affairs on the back foot, so he didn't make too much of a mess.
However, the turmoil and chaos caused by the large-scale blood exchange were naturally inevitable, and Yu Ling also knew that this was a deliberate ploy of the Yuan Ling Clan. As soon as the people leave, won't it be convenient for them to take over Western Union?
The cultivators of the Hundred Gu soon found that there were many unfamiliar faces around them, and those outsiders who were handsome and incompatible with them looked at them from above, as if everyone was just a humble ant crawling at their feet, and it was a great honor to even talk to them.
This was also the second biggest factor that gave Nirabe a headache, even he had to curry favor with these Yuan Spirit Clan elders in a low voice, for fear that the slightest snubbing would make the other party angry.
However, he soon discovered that the arrogance of these people was really not deliberately embarrassing him, but a deep-rooted habit, although they thought that they were talking to Nirabe politely for the sake of Yuling's face, but their words and deeds still irrepressibly revealed the style of "heh, mortal".
It is said that the same situation is the case on the side of the Fire Refining Sect, but those short-tempered outlaws don't have the patience to serve this group of big masters, and it seems that on the first day that the elders of the Yuanling Clan just went, some people were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
It is said that the elder of the Yuanling clan was still angry, and he ran back to the clan to complain about Yuling, but in the end, he did not get a response from the Spirit Emperor.
However, the Yuanling clan obviously attached more importance to the Western Union, so after they urged Yuling to go to the ancestral star, they took advantage of the special situation of no tigers in the mountains and the great blood exchange, and began to take over various important departments unscrupulously.
In just a few days, the Western Union was full of complaints everywhere, and Nirabe could only helplessly act as a peacemaker, trying to calm everyone's dissatisfaction, and almost everyone increased their salaries, so that they would not provoke the Yuanling people.
The important work of the Western Union has also been quietly transferred underground, but those elders of the Yuanling Clan are not fools, I am afraid that after a few months they are familiar with the affairs of the Western Union, they will find out that this is boring.
But Nirabe can't manage it so much, anyway, according to Yuling's instructions, let's mix up the past half a year first, and then talk about it, and seek stability in everything.
And the arrival of the Yuanling clan is not without benefits, they have brought incomparably abundant funds and countless natural treasures, all of which will be invested in the development and construction of Western Union.
There are also many formation masters who have gone all the way to lay down the Dao Formation, and the entire Western Realm Passage has taken on a new look along the way, and both the aura concentration and the offensive and defensive abilities have been greatly improved by several grades.
That's probably one of the few comforts.
Yu Ling can imagine how difficult it will be for Nirabe to endure this time, but temporary forbearance is still necessary, anyway, the roots of the Western Union are in his hands, and after using the power of the Yuan Spirit Clan to push the Western Union to a new level, it is not too late to regain power.
Anyway, several deputy alliance leaders, he didn't allow any of the Yuan Spirit Clan to change, especially Nirabe.
The Ming Domain cultivators who traveled with Yu Ling had already returned to their respective homes like wild horses on the loose, including Ming Shuyu, a guy with a cold temperament, who had returned to the family to visit his parents.
On the contrary, there are not many people in the Yu family, because most of them have been sent by Yu Ling to ascend to the cloud star, and the rest are loyal to the Yu family's guest secretaries or servants, and they don't have the blood of Xuan Ling at all.
Yu Ling only stayed in the Jade Mansion for an hour and left, after all, without Yu Daoren, Yu Qingyuan and others, the huge mansion was deserted, and there was no feeling of home at all.
He went alone to the Gulian Mountains, walking aimlessly, and when he came back to his senses, he came to a small mountain village unconsciously.
Linjiang Village.
Yuling paused at the entrance of the village for a moment, and then walked like a wandering spirit on the dirt road in the mountains, and the busy villagers could not see his presence.
With his intuition, Yu Ling went straight to a simple courtyard, which was the residence of Qi Wu back then.
There was a frolicking sound in the courtyard, and it was clear that the place had changed owners.
Yuling easily pushed open the courtyard door and saw a man and a woman playing with stones in the courtyard, and a middle-aged woman with a dark complexion stood next to her.
"Are you ......" The woman looked at the uninvited guest in dismay, probably because Yuling didn't look like a bully rampant in the township, so she didn't call the villagers to kick him out in the first place.
"Has Qi Wu ever returned?" asked Yuling.
"Qi Wu?uh, you mean Qi Wu who lived here before?" the woman was stunned.
"Yes. ”
"No, he left the village more than ten years ago, and no one knows where he went, anyway, he wasn't from our village in the first place, so he just stayed here for a month. "The woman said.
This time, Chang Yuling was stunned for a moment: "Then where is he originally from?"
"I don't know, he's always been alone, he hasn't married a wife or had children, and he doesn't have any relatives, and I don't know much about him. Probably only the old village chief knows this information, but you are late, the village chief passed away three years ago, and the new village chief has been replaced. "The woman said.
Yuling was silent, all the clues about Qi Wu were broken, was it a coincidence?
When he was still in the ancestral star before, he had also inquired about Qi Wu's whereabouts in many ways, but there was no result.
Maybe Li Xiuran would know? He had threatened Yuling with Qi Wu back then, but now that he thought about it, it was likely that he was just bluffing.
Forget it, when you pass through the Cloud Dragon Country, just ask by the way.
After all, Qi Wu's life-saving grace, Yu Ling still wanted to find a chance to return it.
"Thanks, excuse me. Yuling didn't linger too much anymore.
Since Qi Wu was not there, Yuling went straight to the next stop, Huayu.
This is also where he really started from scratch.
