On the west side of Ghost Prison Island is a Lingzhu City, where more than a million people live. There is no unified dynasty on Ghost Prison Island, and each city is autonomous, and one city is one country.

Lingzhu City is a rare large city on Ghost Prison Island, and it is also the center of the west side of Ghost Prison Island. With Lingzhu City as the center, there are more than 100 large and small cities around it, with a total population of more than 20 million.

The sea around Lingzhu City is rich in a strange human-faced mussel, and various spirit beads will naturally be generated in the mussel shell. These spirit beads are full of the purest Heaven and Earth Yuan power, which can be used to refine medicines, refine weapons, and even swallow them directly.

Generally speaking, the quality of the spirit beads is distinguished by color and shape. There are some special spirit beads that can even make people ascend to the sky in one step.

A certain pearl diving girl was so tired that she couldn't help but steal a spirit pearl. As a result, he formed a golden pill on the ground and became a powerful cultivator.

There are also spirit beads turned into divine swords, killing demon dragons and eliminating harm for the people. Lingzhu turned into a beauty and served a poor dick.

Lingzhu City is full of such legends, although most of them are made up and chiseled, but Lingzhu is indeed widely used and extremely valuable.

Around the Lingzhu industry, more and more people gathered, and the Lingzhu City was slowly established.

Lingzhu City is also the most important station of the Heart Sword Sect on Ghost Hell Island, and it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Heart Sword Sect.

The annual spirit bead business can also provide a large amount of income for the Heart Sword Sect. However, Ghost Hell Island is too barren and the environment is too dangerous, and one will die here if you are not careful.

The Heart Sword Sect governs the two states of Yunzhou and Qingzhou, and its territory is extremely vast. There are too many choices for sect masters, and naturally no one wants to come to Lingzhu City.

Now stationed in Lingzhu City is a Xuanshi, so his temperament is hard and smelly, and his popularity in the sect is extremely poor, and everyone is disgusted. was sent to Lingzhu City by the door master.

Xuanshi has been here for almost fifty years, because he can't rest all day long, and his face is tired and bitter. Wearing a cyan Taoist robe, his hair was scattered, and he looked like a wandering god stick, without a trace of a cultivator's extraordinary bearing.

Just looking at the appearance, it is far from Xuanguo and Xuanye.

Xuanguo was also unpretentious to Xuanshi, his face was always tense, and he didn't say a word of politeness. The Xuanye and Xuanshi are quite familiar, and with the Xuanye here, the atmosphere is finally not too embarrassing.

Xuan Ye and Xuan Shi exchanged two polite sentences, and hurriedly turned to the topic and introduced Gao Zhengyang to Xuan Shi.

"This is Senior Brother Xuanyang, come over to take over the Lingzhu City from you, Senior Brother Xuanshi, you have worked hard all these years. The master of the door specially transferred you to the blessed land of the East China Sea to recuperate......"

After hearing Xuanye's introduction, Xuanshi's old face was purple, but he looked at Gao Zhengyang, and said to Xuanye: "Where is there such a young person in Xuanzi's generation? Where did he come from?"

Xuanshi did not shy away from Gao Zhengyang, and asked questions directly in front of him. Gao Zhengyang was nothing, but Xuanye was a little embarrassed.

Xuanye hurriedly pulled over Xuanshi's sleeve: "Senior Brother Xuanshi, Senior Brother Xuanyang has been inherited by Yuanguang's predecessors, and he has officially entered the sect, and he is the youngest junior disciple of our generation." ”

"Lingzhu City guards the west coast of the Ghost Hell Sea, and there are often all kinds of monsters landing from the West Sea, can he do it?"

Xuanshi said with a serious expression: "There are more than a million people in Lingzhu City, if he can't do it, he will harm others and himself!"

In front of Gao Zhengyang, Xuanshi was not polite at all. Moreover, he looked at Gao Zhengyang when he spoke, making it clear that he was talking about Gao Zhengyang.

Gao Zhengyang smiled and didn't say anything. No wonder this old way has fallen into such a dangerous place, this temper is really stinking enough. As soon as they met, they directly questioned his ability in person.

Although it is said to be responsible, it is difficult to do things well with this straightforwardness.

Being a man can be principled, but doing things must pay attention to means and methods. You have a stinky face and a good heart, but you tend to turn good things into bad things.

Being with light and dust is a kind of realm and a kind of cultivation. This is not the same thing as letting go of principles, the bottom line, and degeneration and corruption. Integrate into the environment and try our best to make use of all favorable conditions to do things well, this is the same as the light.

Xuanshi is a person who is only suitable for cultivating the Tao, not for doing things. He doesn't know how to be flexible, and it's actually difficult for him to achieve a lot of things.

Humanity will change again, the world will change again, and the way of heaven will change again. It's that the epochs are constantly changing. If you don't know how to change, how can you cultivate the Tao?

Gao Zhengyang admires a stubborn and simple person like Xuanshi, but unfortunately, such a person is out of place after all. If you can't do things, you can't do it.

Xuanshi probably won't notice this, and just thinks that he is upright and direct, does not favor personal feelings, and is dedicated to the public.

Although Xuanshi is stubborn, he is not stupid. He said to his face that Gao Zhengyang couldn't do it, but Gao Zhengyang smiled there and was not angry at all, but revealed a tolerant understanding of the ignorant.

That's a little wrong!

Xuanshi looked at Xuanye, revealing an inquiry.

Xuanye sighed, how old is this Xuanshi, and he is still so unreliable in doing things. He didn't ask clearly, so he relied on speculation and questioned Gao Zhengyang in person.

However, it is no wonder that Xuanshi judges people by their appearance. Gao Zhengyang is too young! The Xuanzi generation is more than 100 years old at worst, and he is only in his twenties, and the gap is too big.

With such a tender face, it is indeed impossible to be trusted. Not to mention an old-fashioned person like Xuanshi, even he himself is also very suspicious of Gao Zhengyang.

However, the encounter at sea told Xuan Ye that what it means to be a person who cannot be looked at, and cultivation cannot be measured by age.

Xuanye looked at Xuanshi's old face and said with sympathy: "Senior Brother Xuanshi, don't worry too much, Senior Brother Xuanyang is a peerless genius of my sect." Cultivation is far above you and me. ”

Xuanshi was even more puzzled, why did Xuanye say that, just this young man, what achievements could he convince him?

Xuanye couldn't help laughing, sure enough, Xuanshi would be suspicious. He deliberately said slowly: "On the way, we met the Kraken Whale......

"How's it going?" Xuan Shi glanced at Gao Zhengyang again, guessing that he might have made a move with the Kraken Whale. Dare to do it, and you can retreat with your whole body, at least some ability.

Xuan Ye said indifferently: "Senior Brother Xuanyang shot alone and killed the Sea Devouring Demon Whale with one sword. ”

"What?"

Old Xuanshi's eyes widened, and he looked at Xuanye in disbelief, "You say it again?"

"Senior Brother Xuanyang killed the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale with one sword, and also eradicated a major disaster for the Ghost Hell Sea. For Ghost Hell Island, it's also a great thing. ”

Xuan Ye said: "Senior Brother Xuanyang has this magical power, sitting in Lingzhu City, he will definitely be able to protect the peace of one party." Senior Brother Xuanshi can rest assured. ”

"Is this true?" Xuanshi still couldn't believe it, he looked at Xuanguo. Xuanye, the old slippery head, may be able to talk nonsense, but Xuanguo, the peak master of Spirit Sword Peak, will not talk nonsense.

Xuanguo said with a cold face: "Naturally, it's true. We can still lie to you. ”

Xuanshi was really stunned at this moment, and looked at Gao Zheng speechless for a long time.

He had been in the Hellish Sea for decades, and had seen a Kraken Whale once.

The sea swallowing monster whale traveled against the sea, destroying thousands of miles of tsunamis and destroying all living beings. Passing through the West Coast once, the tsunami alone killed more than a million people.

Xuanshi also went up and gestured twice, but the flying sword was thrown over but there was no response. This made Xuanshi extremely desperate, and it also made him deeply aware of how powerful the Kraken Whale was.

Although the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale is only a tenth order, its demonic power is so strong that it is afraid that it will be better than the primordial infant of the human race. Such a big demon has been rampant in the sea area of the Ghost Prison, and no one dares to attack it directly.

How can Gao Zhengyang kill the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale with one sword? He has the Zhenshan Divine Sword of the Sect?

Xuanshi couldn't figure it out, and the whole person fell into a state of sluggishness.

Seeing Xuanshi's stupid appearance, Xuanye's heart was inexplicably refreshing. Aren't you always stubborn and stubborn, and you're going to question it again? Scared stupid, aren't you? Hahahaha......

Even the junior Zhenxiu who was standing on the side couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle. I have to say that Xuanshi's toughness just now is particularly fun compared to his stupid appearance now.

In fact, Zhenxiu Xiu is a layer weaker, and his vision and knowledge are much worse. She only knew that the Kraken Whale was particularly powerful, stronger than her master. But there is no clear understanding of how strong it is.

The same was true for the other young disciples, who didn't really understand the horrors of the Kraken Whale.

Even if it's a Xuanye, it's one layer worse. Only Xuanguo senses the demonic power of the Kraken Whale at close range, and knows the strength of the Kraken Whale.

Because of this, Xuan Guo understood how terrible Gao Zhengyang was. She knows very well that needless to say, in the future, even now, Gao Zhengyang is enough to compete with her.

In a few decades, wait for Gao Zhengyang to advance to Jindan. Up and down the sect, I'm afraid that few people can compare with Gao Zhengyang. If Gao Zhengyang achieves Yuanying, then the sect is afraid that it will have to change its surname to Gao.

From this understanding, Xuanguo reminded his apprentice Zhenxiu to stay away from Gao Zhengyang. Although Zhenxiu is talented, he is too much worse than Gao Zhengyang.

Especially Gao Zhengyang's city is bottomless, such a young man, but she can't see through the other party's thoughts. Every time they met, she instinctively feared.

Of course, this is also because she saw Gao Zhengyang use the flying sword with her own eyes and easily kill the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale. There is a deep understanding of his power.

If he didn't know this, even if Gao Zhengyang was scheming, Xuanguo wouldn't take it to heart.

Xuanguo's thoughts naturally won't be told to outsiders. She also sensibly kept her distance from Gao Zhengyang. Such a person is not something she can win over.

Xuanshi didn't have so many complicated thoughts, he stayed for a while before he suddenly realized, and bowed to Gao Zhengyang: "The sea demon whale swallowing has been a disaster in the ghost prison sea for many years, and the junior brother can punish this demon and evil for the benefit of the common people, and the merit is immeasurable." ”

"Slaying demons and eliminating demons is the responsibility of my generation, and it is not enough to worry about it. ”

Gao Zhengyang waved the dust and returned the salute sideways.

Xuanshi remembered what he said before, he was also a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "It's because I'm shallow and said some rude things, Senior Brother Xuanyang, please don't be surprised." ”

Gao Zhengyangyun said lightly: "Senior Brother Xuanshi is also serious, and Senior Brother is ashamed. ”

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite. ”

Xuan Ye played a round and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." He said to Xuanshi again: "This time, there are more than a hundred trial disciples, and I also ask Senior Brother Xuanshi to arrange it." ”

"It's nature. Xuanshi agreed.

Xuanye invited Xuanguo and Gao Zhengyang to enter the Taoist Academy, and he pulled Xuanshi alone and said, "Senior Brother Xuanshi, you hand over all the work, and when the trial is over, you can follow us back to the sect." This is the edict of the master of the door. ”

The Hellish Sea is a huge sea area with a large population and many complex interests. Transferring Gao Zhengyang here is an official decision of the sect. Naturally, there are official decrees to be made.

Xuanshi took the edict, read it with his divine sense, and then matched it with his own decree to confirm that it was correct. Only then did he feel completely relieved.

Xuanshi didn't think it was hard to work in the Ghost Prison Sea, he had been here for decades and had a lot of feelings for it. Just transferred out like this, and there is still some reluctance.

However, he is a man who admits death. No matter what the reason for the sect, as long as it is a formal decision of the sect, he will implement it unconditionally.

Xuanshi said: "The situation on Ghost Prison Island is quite complicated, the Iron Armor Sect, the Yunguang Sect, these major sects are constantly expanding their power to the west. Especially the newly rising Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect, which are gaining momentum, are now aggressive. If this continues, something will happen to Ghost Hell Island sooner or later......"

Regarding the situation on Ghost Hell Island, Genshi is very uneasy. The main reason is that in recent years, several sects have developed very well, and they also have ideas for Lingzhu City.

Lingzhu City can be said to be the most valuable specialty of Ghost Prison Island. Lingzhu City's trading profits accounted for more than half of Ghost Hell Island.

If these sects want to develop, they need more resources. Magic weapons, sword weapons, pills, secret methods, and most of the resources needed by the sect have to be bought with money.

Where does the money come from?

If a sect wants to survive, it must have a stable source of income. In Ghost Hell Island, Lingzhu is the most stable and profitable business.

Several sects know the power of the Heart Sword Sect, but the Ghost Prison Island is dispensable to the Heart Sword Sect, but to the Wind Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it is a fundamental place.

Therefore, the Wind Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect would rather take risks than constantly persecute the Heart Sword Sect. Of course, these small sects will also pull big sects like the Yunguang Sect and the Iron Armor Sect to act together.

The reason is very simple, the Heart Sword Sect has occupied Lingzhu City for hundreds of years. Now, it is time to give up some of the benefits to the various sects.

Of course Xuanshi doesn't do it, he doesn't like to regress. As a Xuanzi cultivator of the Heart Sword Sect, he didn't feel that the sect needed to retreat.

During this time, the Heart Sword Sect and various other sects often had various minor frictions. Although they are still very restrained in all aspects, it is the lowest disciple who is showing up.

But if we continue to toss along with this trend, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will lead to higher-level conflicts.

Why did Xuanshi question Gao Zhengyang's cultivation ability when they met, it was also because the situation on Ghost Hell Island was complicated and dangerous now. I don't have enough capacity to handle it at all.

If one is not good, it will lose the Spirit Bead City.

Once the Spirit Bead City is lost, it will be difficult to get it back. After all, the Yunguang Sect and the Iron Armor Sect are also big sects, and the strength of the sect is not inferior to the Heart Sword Sect.

Under the fait accompli, the Heart Sword Sect did not dare to make a big move. In the end, it is likely to be gritted and endured.

Xuanshi felt that the current situation was very dangerous, and it was even more necessary for the sect to send additional manpower. However, Gao Zhengyang's ability to kill the Sea Swallowing Siren Whale alone shows his ability. With him here, he should be able to suppress other sects.

Xuanshi felt that he was not familiar with Gao Zhengyang, and it was unpleasant again, so he talked a lot to Xuanye and asked him to help clarify with Gao Zhengyang.

"I'll make it clear to Xuanyang. ”

Xuan Ye said with some embarrassment: "But this junior brother is unpredictable. He is also the principal, so I don't know what he will do. ”

"You can't mess around with strength. ”

Xuanshi reminded: "It's the major sects that govern the Ghost Prison Island, and everyone still can't tear their faces." ”

"This, you go and talk to Xuanyang......" Xuanshi doesn't worry about this, he also knows very well that Gao Zhengyang will not listen to him.

Even if it is Xuanguo, I am afraid that I can't command Gao Zhengyang.

The sword that killed the Sea Swallowing Whale established Gao Zhengyang's status.

There are various orders in the sect, but strong strength is the foundation. Gao Zhengyang is so strong, even if he makes a big mistake and is assigned, Xuanguo and Xuanye must be respected enough.

Xuan Ye entered the Taoist courtyard and found that although this Taoist courtyard was built with white striped stones, the style was simple.

But the whole building is very large, with eleven entrances. Lined up along the central axis, there is the Hall of Asking Hearts, the Hall of Raising Sword, the Hall of Patriarchs and so on.

On both sides are various side halls, across the courtyard. Although it is not decorated, it is clean and plain. There is not only the atmosphere of a large sect, but also the pure and simple artistic conception of a cultivator.

Xuan Ye entered the last hall, which was the Patriarch's Hall. It is also an important place for the sect. Not to mention outsiders, even the disciples of the sect are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

According to the regulations, Gao Zhengyang, as the host of the Taoist Academy, should live here.

Xuan Ye entered the ancestral hall and first kowtowed to the heart sword patriarch with incense. Then, I went to the side hall to find Gao Zhengyang.

Gao Zhengyang was also idle, and his personal maid Bai Ling was cleaning up the room.

Xuanshi didn't know that someone was going to replace him, and the room was not cleaned up. Because of his personal habits, he has never lived here. Although the room is fairly clean, it is not very popular.

Bai Ling was carrying a small Qiankun bag, which was full of daily necessities, furniture, and so on.

They are busy cleaning the room and rearranging the furniture.

It's a little shabby, but it's spacious and quiet enough. Bai Ling likes it here, and he is full of energy.

Xuanye didn't dare to look at it more, this little girl was a little too demonic, no matter how she looked at it, she looked like a vixen. However, who dares to care about Gao Zhengyang's maid.

It is also a tradition for powerful cultivators to accept a monster as a servant. It's not worth the fuss.

Xuanye walked to Gao Zhengyang's side, and first talked about two sentences, and then relayed Xuanshi's words. He was also worried that Gao Zhengyang would cause trouble, and tactfully reminded Gao Zhengyang not to make a big deal about it.

Gao Zhengyang knew what Xuan Ye was worried about, "I'll deal with it, senior brother rest assured." ”

Xuan Ye is a smart person, he understands what Gao Zhengyang means, and tells him to shut up and not have to come up with ideas. He obediently shut up, turned and left.

The next day, Xuanshi gathered many disciples of the Taoist Academy, announced the edict of the sect in public, and handed over the presiding Dharma seal to Gao Zhengyang.

There are thousands of disciples in the Taoist Academy, and none of these disciples know where Gao Zhengyang came from. It's just that seeing him so young, many people are muttering in their hearts.

It's just a sect's decision, and it's not the turn of these low-level disciples to question it. No matter what these people think, no one dares to say anything to their faces.

A simple ceremony was held, and Gao Zhengyang officially became the presiding officer of the Ghost Prison Island Lingzhu Lower Court of the Heart Sword Sect.

But he had only been the host for one day, and the next day something happened.
