"In terms of their style, they look like a real demon cult. ”

Lu Ping'an replied to Lin Shixiong.

Lin Shixiong smiled and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, our altar is not a demon sect?"

Lu Ping'an said: "It's really not like it, at least it's not the Demon Sect that the world generally knows." ”

Lin Shixiong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's really different, so do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure, but I heard that our branch altar used to be called the Hidden Demon Sect?"

Lin Shixiong was not surprised by this, and said: "Yes, I didn't agree with the idea of the previous sect leader back then, so when there was an internal split, I took the opportunity to go out and set up my own door, and most of the people who were willing to follow me were also like-minded monks with me. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "It's no wonder that our branch is so different from other branches." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "But that's all in the past, now we are all a family, we still have to unite and work together." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "But some things can't be changed, and the more you force them together, the more contradictions will occur." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Occasionally, there are some small contradictions, which will not affect the overall situation. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "I hope so." ”

Lin Shixiong asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Although the altar master you just said that the sect leader will not interfere in that matter, but in case a similar situation happens in the future, I am afraid that our sub-altar and the main altar will ...... Of course, I'm just worrying about it, you don't have to worry about it. ”

In fact, Lu Ping'an's idea is very simple, that is, to let Lin Shixiong have the idea of "splitting".

Even if Lu Ping'an won't point it out, he won't persuade anything, but the facts are there, as long as he is guided a little, Lin Shixiong is very likely to have that kind of sign in his heart.

However, if you want Lin Shixiong to really do that, there still has to be something or an event to promote and ignite that flame.

Lu Ping'an can only be regarded as making some preparations in advance now.

Lin Shixiong said: "You don't have to worry about this, when I decided to return to the Demon Sect with the entire branch altar, I had already considered many aspects, but in the end I chose this path." ”

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, I thought too much, the reason why you made this decision, the altar master, there must be a reason for you." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "The reason is very simple, it is to revive the Demon Sect, and only if all the Demon Dao forces work together can they hope to do this, but in fact, ...... There's also a private agreement between me and the Master that almost no one knows about. ”

Lu Ping'an frowned slightly, curious, and subconsciously blurted out, "What agreement?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Ping'an felt that it was a little bad to ask like this, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, since it's a private agreement, it must not be passed on." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "It's okay, you're not an outsider, even if you tell you, it's nothing." My agreement with the sect leader is that after the successful revival of the Demon Sect, I can re-establish the Hidden Demon Sect, but I cannot completely break away from the Demon Sect, but exist in the form of a side branch, and once a major event happens, I must also support the Demon Sect. ”

Lu Ping'an was surprised and said, "I didn't expect it to be such an agreement?"

Lin Shixiong said: "So in a sense, we are only working closely with the Demon Sect, and we are not really integrated with the Demon Sect, so it is normal for you to find the gaps in it." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "I see, but if the revival has not been successful, it will not be much different from the real merger." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Well, it can also be understood in this way, but I only agreed to this matter on the premise that I thought that the Demon Sect would definitely be revived." ”

Lu Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked, "Although I have always talked about revival and revival, if you really want to talk about it, in the eyes of the altar master and the sect master, what extent do you have to achieve it to be considered a success?

Lin Shixiong said: "Of course it can't be, from ancient times to the present, even in the heyday of the Demon Sect's power, it has not dominated the entire continent. And our definition of revival is that as long as we can monopolize one side, no one dares to provoke easily, it is enough, as for dominating the continent or something, leave it to future generations to do, in the foreseeable future, our generation may not be able to accomplish it. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "If that's the case, then there is still hope." ”

Lin Shixiong sighed and said, "That's right, it's just that the hope is very small, but even so, we still can't give up, can we?"

Lu Ping'an said: "That's right, the great cause of the Demon Sect will definitely be successfully revived." ”

Lin Shixiong smiled and said, "But in fact, you don't care if the Demon Sect can be revived, right?"

Lu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and said, "To be precise, I don't care too much about the fate of the entire Demon Sect, I only care about where our branch will go in the future." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "I can still see this. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "But when I first worshiped the Demon Sect, I didn't think like this, it was what they did that made me feel disgusted and disliked, and I gradually developed this kind of thought." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "I can understand and I won't blame you, but externally, you should try not to show this kind of thinking, otherwise you may be used to play on the topic." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Understood!"

Lin Shixiong said: "Regarding this matter, let's stop here, the matter of revival has a long way to go, and it is meaningless to say more now." I have another thing I want to ask you......"

Lu Ping'an said: "It's okay for the altar master to ask. ”

Lin Shixiong pondered the wording for a moment and said, "What do you think of Lan'er?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "She is the master of the young altar and my good friend, other than that, there is no other opinion." ”

Lin Shixiong frowned and said, "Really not?"

Lu Ping'an knew what Lin Shixiong wanted to ask, but still said, "Yes." ”

Lin Shixiong's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of disappointment, and said: "I won't tell you, if you are interested in Lan'er, I will definitely marry Lan'er to you, but since you don't have that kind of thought, I won't force it, just let it be." ”

The implication of this is to train Lu Ping'an as a successor, although Lu Ping'an's qualifications are not deep enough, but if he marries Lin Chulan, he will be fully qualified.

Lu Ping'an said: "Thanks to the altar master for attaching so much importance to me, even if I don't use marriage as a connection, I will still work hard for the altar with all my heart." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Not only to divide the altar, but also to let Lan'er have a good home." However, both of you are still young, and you will have a long way to go, so maybe you will still develop a relationship in the future. ”

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly: "I can't decide this kind of thing, let it be." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Okay, that's all I have to say, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest, and prepare for tomorrow's big competition." ”

Lu Ping'an got up and arched his hand: "Then I will leave." ”

After coming out of the tea room, Lu Ping'an went directly back to the room.

After some previous conversations, Lu Ping'an could be regarded as roughly understanding what Lin Shixiong thought.

Although it will not be easy to regain the independence of the Eastern Sect, based on the information known, it is still somewhat possible, at least it has a much better chance of reviving than the Demon Cult.

But what to do, Lu Ping'an has to think about it.

......

The next day, the Demon Cult Contest continued.

There are more than 200 contestants today, and they will go through three rounds of competition to determine the top 32.

The opponent of the competition is still determined by drawing lots.

Lu Ping'an has no worries about this, no matter who he meets, he is confident that he can win.

Since he has set his sights on the final four, as long as there are no big surprises, he will definitely achieve it.

"It's the next day, nervous?"

Lu Ping'an asked Lin Chulan beside him.

At this time, their group was walking towards the main temple square without hurrying.

Lin Chulan said indifferently: "I don't know who I will meet, what is there to be nervous about." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "But as long as you can get through today, you will be considered to have completed your goal." ”

Lin Chulan said: "My goal is still relatively conservative, in fact, as long as I am lucky and don't meet the top powerhouse early, it is very likely to be achieved." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled: "Then I wish you success." ”

As they spoke, they came to the front of the square.

At this time, I saw Ji Taihua and others, that is, the people from the northern altar, who happened to come to the vicinity and were about to enter the square.

"Lao Lin, your record yesterday was very good. ”

Ji Taihua stepped forward with a smile and said to Lin Shixiong.

Lin Shixiong stopped and said, "You can still laugh?"

Ji Taihua said: "The big competition is not over yet, and it is not the final record, what can't I laugh at?"

Lin Shixiong glanced at Ji Changge next to Ji Taihua and said, "Not to mention how many people you have left tomorrow, just talk about Ji Changge, who you are most optimistic about, do you think he still has hope of reaching the top four?"

Ji Taihua said in a firm tone: "Of course!"

Lin Shixiong said: "Even if you enter, you will get in by luck." ”

Ji Taihua said: "For Dabi, luck is also part of strength. ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Then you hope that he will not meet us as the protector of the Dharma." ”

Ji Taihua said with a smile: "I won't be afraid when I meet my son, don't think that if he wins Miss Shangguan, he can prove anything, everyone's situation is different, and my son is still very likely to defeat him." ”

Lin Shixiong snorted lightly and said, "Really, then let's wait and see." ”

Ji Taihua said: "Well, we'll see!"

Although Ji Taihua still has high hopes for Ji Changge, in fact, on the surface, Ji Changge seems to be just pretending to be calm, and his expression does not show confidence in victory, at least not as arrogant and arrogant as before, but he has been standing by the side and has not said a word.

And Lin Chulan stared at Ji Changge, her eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if she wanted to fight him.
