Chapter 52: Honorificing
Ling Xiao's anger was alleviated to a certain extent with the demise of the Heshan faction.
When he returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace, it was dawn, he took Feng Zhiling's hand and stood in front of the first black jade carved dragon chair inlaid with colorful gems in the Tianxiao Palace, looking at the wide chair body that could accommodate the two of them sitting together, recalling the two Demon Venerable couples who used to sit here together, Qin Se and Ming, at that time he could only stand at the bottom of the first step, face to face with the bright and arrogant Empress Ling Long, close but far away.
At this moment, the pulse of the corners of his eyes suddenly accelerated, he solemnly helped Feng Zhiling up a few steps, let her sit firmly on the black jade carved dragon chair, he took a few steps back and returned to the bottom of the steps, looking at Feng Zhiling smiled at him, time and space staggered, he seemed to see Ling Long sitting alone on the carved dragon chair smiling at him, stretching out his hands towards him, he walked up the stairs nervously and excitedly, the smiling Ling Long's face was slowly replaced by Feng Zhiling's face, as he approached, The distance between the two shortened step by step, until he stood in front of Feng Zhiling, took her hand, and sat beside her, and he finally felt for the first time that the feelings he had had been in for many years had been placed.
"Yu'er, my uncle is going to crown you as a demon goddess, what do you think?"
On the second day, the news that the Heshan faction was wiped out overnight and that the head of Heshan died from the lock spirit whip spread throughout the Xianmen.
The immortal gate shook, and the people's hearts were panicked.
The hatred between the fairy world and the demon world was pushed to the peak again, and Feng Zhiling, who had been seen by everyone to kill people with a lock spirit whip, was once again pushed to the forefront and became the number one enemy of the fairy gate.
The strength of the seven factions is not comparable to that of the five great immortal sects, and they are already weak, but now they are all trembling, lest they will be the next to be destroyed.
One of them curled the corners of his mouth in the dark.
In the Nine Heavens Hall of Taiyi Mountain, Lan Yuan sat on the first seat, and there were four people standing on the left and right sides of him: Tai, Zhen, Jiu, and Qiu, and the hall gathered the heads of the various sects of the Xianmen who hurried over from all directions, all of them put on a solemn face, and looked at Lan Yuan who was talking.
"The ancestor once instructed me not to use the Hidden Dragon Sword until the immortal gate survived. Last time, in order to fight against Zhenyuan Stone and protect the Immortal Gate, it was really a last resort to use the Hidden Dragon Sword in a hurry. Lan Yuan said, "If I use the Hidden Dragon Sword at will, I am afraid that it will violate the orders of the ancestors." ”
"The Heshan faction has been wiped out, and the immortal sect has reached the point of survival. Zhuang Jiyou, the head of the Sushan faction, said sonorously and forcefully, "If the head of the He sect does not activate the Hidden Dragon Sword, I am afraid that we will not have a chance to win in this siege of the Demon Realm." ”
Zhuang Jiyou is an "old man" with a childish forehead, always full of red face and full of energy, if you only look at his face and posture, some people believe that he is in the prime of life, but he has meticulous silver hair, saying that he can get by at the age of 300. No one knows how old he is, only that the Sushan faction has been established for more than 100 years, and he is the second head.
"Lian Yuhuang is going to be crowned a woman, is her next step to be like her father, to break into the Immortal League Conference, provoke the heads of the five sects and seven factions one by one, and trample all the Immortal Sects at the feet of the Demon Realm?
"Now that we have Zhenyuan Stone and the Hidden Dragon Sword in hand, there is still room to deal with the Demon Realm, if we let them develop wantonly...... " Tong Qingxue, the head of the Meishan faction, said.
"The Demon Realm sealed Lian Yuhuang as the Female Venerable of the Demon Realm, obviously to show the Three Realms that the descendants of Lian Mingxuan and Ling Long are still alive and have returned to the Demon Realm. They used thunderous means to destroy the Heshan faction, and most of them had the intention of establishing authority for this new woman. Next, I'm afraid there will be another big bloody storm. ”
"The Demon Realm is so blatantly demonstrating to us, how can we indulge it?"
"And the last time those corpses ......"
......
Everyone, every word you and I say, is forcing Lan Yuan to use the Hidden Dragon Sword and Zhenyuan Stone, besiege the Demon Realm on the day of the conferral ceremony, and deal with Lian Mingxuan and Feng Zhiling.
"All of you have a point. Master He, although Lian Yuhuang used to be a disciple of Taiyi Mountain, but now that she has returned to the Demon Realm, she is about to be named the Female Venerable of the Demon Realm, and the Lock Spirit Whip is indeed in her hands, even if the head of the sect is not killed by her, it will not affect us to deal with the Demon Realm. When the time comes, we will ask everyone face to face, whether Lian Yuhuang was forced back to the Demon Realm or voluntarily, and we will not frame her at will. Fu Yizhou of the Wu Sect said in an unhurried and gentle tone.
This time, even Fu Yizhou, who has always been gentle and easy to speak, also supported the plan to besiege the Demon Realm. As soon as he said this, if Lan Yuan defended Feng Zhiling again, it would be like not separating public and private, regardless of the overall situation.
Lan Yuan knew that this time it would be difficult for him to disobey the will of the Immortal Sect again.
Lan Zhen returned to the house, took out an empty wine jar from under the bed, held it in his hand, and stared blankly. On the jar are written the words Puzhou Sangluo wine, and the three words Sangluo wine are particularly conspicuous.
"Senior Sister Feng, have you really changed?" Lan Zhen asked in a muttering voice.
"Lord, the little master is still young, I'm afraid that many people in the Three Sects still don't know her, why don't you wait for two more years, and you don't have to rush for a while......" Huo Li stood in the Tianxiao Hall and said to Ling Xiao.
Huo Li's unscrupulous answer made Ling Xiao very unhappy.
Di Kun and Zewu stood on the left and right of Huoli, and noticed that Ling Xiao's eyes became impatient, and immediately glanced at Huoli at the same time, and Huoli was not completely stupid, after receiving the afterglow warning flying from the left and right, he hurriedly changed his words: "...... However, the little master is very talented, and he saved everyone at the Immortal League Conference, and personally killed Wen Qinian, the head of Wubai, and the head of Heshan, and now his cultivation is almost on par with the lord, and the title of female is naturally well-deserved and worshiped by everyone!"
"Pass my password and summon the three sect leaders and the sect members to gather in the Heavenly Demon Palace on August 15 to participate in the feather phoenix's honoring ceremony. Dikun, it is up to you to review all matters of the ceremony, and others must fully cooperate. The ceremony must be solemn. I want everyone in the world to know about the feather phoenix conferring the title of female honor. ”
As the ceremony of enthronement on August 15 gets closer and closer, Ling Xiao's temperament has become more moody, his thinking has become strange and jumpy, and he has followed Ling Xiao for many years, and he has never been as frightened as he has been in recent months.
Only in the face of Feng Zhiling did he show a rare good temper.
As long as Feng Zhiling was not by his side for a moment, he would be short-tempered and angry at a little thing.
"Lord, my subordinates have heard a report that the Xianmen has already known about the Honorable Ceremony......" Di Kun bowed his head and reported to Ling Xiaoyu.
"I just want them to know. Ling Xiao said.
"Refusing the news of their subordinates' investigation, they seem to be ready to take action......"
"Hmm. Ling Xiao replied casually.
"We wiped out the Heshan faction overnight, and our subordinates are worried that they will come to retaliate......" In the past, in the face of Ling Xiao's cold response, Di Kun would not say any more, but now he always felt that he had to explain his worries to Ling Xiao.
"What, I'm afraid that Ling Xiao won't be able to retaliate?" Ling Xiao frowned.
"Venerable Lord, my subordinates are worried that if the Immortal Realm unites to besiege us, they will fall into passivity at that time, after all, your Heavenly Demon Sutra has not yet been practiced, and He Lanyuan has the Hidden Dragon Sword and Zhenyuan Stone in hand, so shouldn't you have some strategy to resist the enemy first......
"Dikun, are you making up your mind for me?" Ling Xiao squinted at the corner of his eyes and said coldly, "It's a mess to explain your affairs, and you're bold!"
Di Kun hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
"What did I say? Han Shen is the murderer of the feather phoenix, before the canonization ceremony, I was going to use him as a blood sacrifice to show the public! What did you do? I only know that he fled to the extreme north, what about that person?...... There is no news from the Demon Slaying Knife!I'll give you another seven days, if you can't catch Han Shen again, I'll throw you into Chiyan Mountain and burn you to ashes!" Ling Xiao suddenly overturned the tables and chairs in the Tianxiao Hall in front of Di Kun, and was furious as if he wanted to tear off the roof of the Tianxiao Palace.
"Yes, the subordinates know their mistakes, and the subordinates will send more people to arrest Han Shen with all their might......" Di Kun saw Ling Xiao so angry with himself for the first time, and he was busy kneeling on the ground.
"Arrest with all your might?" Ling Xiao asked, "Were you all perfunctory before?!"
"Lord, subordinate ......"
"Don't make excuses for me! Get out, get out!"
Dikun hurriedly got up and prepared to exit the main hall.
"Come back!" Ling Xiao shouted, and Di Kun turned back again, "If you make any mistakes in the matter of the Sealing Ceremony, you will wait to be dismantled!"
Di Kun bowed his head and agreed, and when he saw that Ling Xiao no longer spoke, he dared to withdraw from the Tianxiao Palace.
The ceremony was held as scheduled, Feng Zhiling was dressed in a purple dress, her face was cold and imposing, and her usual image was like two people. Together with Ling Xiao, who was wearing a dark robe with a golden candle dragon pattern, and on the first seat of the Tongtian Temple, which was where Lian Mingxuan and Ling Long sat together, she accepted the kneeling of the disciples of the Demon Realm.
The Temple of Heaven is the largest and tallest palace of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and it is specially used to hold important ceremonies and the grand age of the Demon Realm. At this time, the hall gathered the three major sects of the Demon Realm - the Qiulong Sect, the Jiumin Sect, the Xingyue Sect, and many of the main demons in the Demon Realm Headquarters, filling the hall to the brim, and the crowd was full of people, noisy but not strict.
At this time, the conferment ceremony was nearing the end, and everyone knelt under the hall and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations on the return of the female honor, the lord has the power of heaven and earth! The demon world will unify the three worlds, and the generations will be eternal!"
"The Great Ceremony is complete!" Dikun shouted in front of the crowd.
Ling Xiao took Feng Zhiling's hand and stood up, thinking contentedly: "From today onwards, she will sit side by side with me, and everyone in the world will know that she is the most noble woman in the Demon Realm, and the woman next to me Ling Xiao." ”
"What is Uncle thinking?"
"I was thinking that from now on, we will never be separated. Ling Xiao smiled, "From now on, everyone in the world will be afraid of you and you, you are the rightful hostess of the Demon Realm." ”
At this time, a disciple hurriedly entered the hall from the outside and said something to Dikun. Dikun's face changed, and he said a few words to the man, and the man hurriedly ran out of the hall.
Then he walked lightly to the first step and whispered a few words to Ling Xiao.
"What are you afraid of, I'll go meet them now. Ling Xiao curled the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and went straight out of the Tongtian Hall from the side.
Feng Zhiling followed Ling Xiao's side.
"Yu'er, you stay in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Ling Xiao said, "I'll come when I go." ”
"Is it the Immortal Alliance calling?" Feng Zhiling asked. Even if Di Kun could use his weak voice when he spoke, he was still heard by Feng Zhiling.
Dikun nodded.
"Then I'll wait for my uncle here. "Feng Zhiling's requirements for Ling Xiao are always unconditionally complied with.
