The second day after He Sheng ascended the throne and became emperor.

The news that the Demon Sect designated He Sheng as the emperor, Nie Hongyi as the national teacher, and Vermilion Bird Hall as the state religion spread.

These news flew out of the Black Sword Royal Court as if they had grown wings, and spread throughout the Jade Tang Empire, shaking the rivers and lakes.

Since then, the Black Sword Royal Court has also been incorporated into the Demon Cult Sanctuary.

The Demon Cult's sphere of influence has included Hanzhou and the Far North Wasteland, and its territory is second only to the Jade Tang Empire.

It is completely possible to claim the title of king in a fief and establish a kingdom.

The compromise of the Black Sword Royal Court made King Tang worried.

The three holy places did not make any indications, they should eat and drink, and occasionally have a meeting together.

Early in the morning of the third day.

Yu Taiyue and Hua Liuying returned to the main altar and returned to Lin Fan.

"Sect Master, according to your instructions, He Sheng has been successfully enthroned as emperor, but for the sake of safety, to prevent the Black Sword Royal Court from betraying the Divine Sect, his subordinates are good at making claims, so Zhao Xuanji agreed to the two requests of his subordinates. ”

The words spoken in front of Yu Taiyue were mediocre, and when she said the back, her voice was a little weaker, mixed with a hint of tenderness.

Lin Fan bowed his head: "I have heard that you are doing a good job." ”

Receiving Lin Fan's praise, Taiyue couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face.

She said, "Nie Hongyi is sincere and controllable about the Divine Sect, and with the supervision of the Black Sword Royal Court by the Vermilion Bird Hall, the Black Sword Royal Court will be all under your control. In the future, the subordinates will also pay attention to the various behaviors of the Suzaku Hall, and ask the sect leader to rest assured. ”

Lin Fan snorted.

I'm not worried that Suzaku Hall will take the opportunity to sprout selfish intentions and betray the Demon Sect.

In the Demon Sect's main altar, there are several seven-star envoys who have always had a relationship with the elders and the Vermilion Bird Hall, and once there is any trouble, they will be known by themselves as soon as possible.

Suzaku Hall has long been targeted by the Demon Sect.

"Is the cooperation of the Black and White Dao Palace smooth, and what is Lu Yingxing's attitude when he assists you?"

Lin Fan changed his words.

"Lu Yingxing is quite sensible, and he has not questioned the sect leader's decision-making. ”

Yu Taiyue replied.

Lin Fan nodded: "Okay, you two are tired of traveling, let's go down and rest first." ”

"Thank you for your concern. ”

Yu Taiyue's voice was soft, and she retired with Hua Liuying.

But after only leaving for a moment, Yu Taiyue ran back to the main hall.

Seeing that Taiyue asked to see him again, Lin Fan said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Yu Taiyue frowned, and said softly: "Sect Leader Qiyu, there is an elder out of the customs." ”

Lin Fan was secretly surprised.

The frowning action of Yu Taiyue was clearly seen by Lin Fan.

This woman showed such a different color.

Looks like there is a situation.

"Which senator?"

Lin Fan paid attention to Lan Taiyue's expression and asked in a casual tone.

Senate.

This is the older generation of apologists in the Demon Sect's main altar, with strong strength, a respected status in the sect, independent of the Demon Sect's hierarchy, and the ability to influence the sect leader's decision-making.

Usually, several patriarchs do not ask about world affairs, and they all live in seclusion or retreat in the Shuiyue Cave Heaven in the mountain behind the Apocalypse Mountain.

It was made a forbidden place for the Demon Cult.

Until the moment of the Demon Sect's life and death, the elders of the Demon Sect will not show up easily.

In short, the elders of the Demon Sect have accumulated a long-term heritage, and they are offered by the Demon Sect Leader like an ancestor, and they rarely show up.

Pick any one out, and you can compete with the sword emperor Chen Yanbei for the limelight.

Few people in the Demon Cult know about their existence.

Tan Taiyue didn't mention it, Lin Fan almost forgot that there were still such old guys hidden in the sect.

I really don't know what strength these people have reached now, and whether they will pose a threat to their position as sect leaders.

At worst, if they are still sincerely committed to the Demon Cult?

He hadn't seen a few elders for many years, and Lin Fan didn't know anything about it.

Yu Taiyue has not yet spoken.

At the entrance of the main hall, there was an extra figure.

An old crane-haired man dressed in black coarse linen stepped forward alone and came to Lin Fan without notice.

didn't greet him, let alone salute, sat on the big chair next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, and took two sips.

His every move was as if he was the master of this demon cult.

It's casual.

But it doesn't seem too arrogant.

Lin Fan quietly watched the old man's actions and said nothing.

Taiyue retreated to Lin Fan's side, and her willow eyebrows were still frowning slightly.

One of the four elders of the Demon Cult.

Xie Teng.

Several Demon Sect disciples who stayed in the main hall looked at Xie Teng's actions as if no one was around, as if they didn't take the sect leader in their eyes, and couldn't help but look stunned.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Who's this bad old man?

Xie Teng took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, swept his gaze to Lin Fan, squinted and said, "Sect Master Lin, I haven't seen you for many years, this sect leader of yours is getting more and more beautiful, do you still remember the old decay?"

Yu Taiyue's brows furrowed a little.

The other party's attitude towards Lin Fan made her dissatisfied.

Outside the gate of the hall, the figures of Xiao Buyu, Ying Bokong and others appeared.

Most people are very confused about Xie Teng's identity, and they can't figure out who this thing is.

Only Xiao Buyu recognized the other party, and then looked at Taiyue's expression, his expression became extremely solemn, and he looked at Xie Teng tightly.

"Don't come unharmed, Xie Teng. ”

Lin Fan was in a high position and glanced at Xie Teng deeply.

Xiao Buyu and the others came to Taiyue's side and saluted Lin Fan.

"Excuse me. ”

Lin Fan opened his mouth lightly and glanced at Xie Teng intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Teng spoke again: "These subordinates are very presentable, and they seem to be loyal to you. ”

Lin Fan was expressionless, just looked down at Xie Teng: "You came out of the customs today, what did you do?"

Xie Teng leaned back in his chair, one hand tapping on the handle of the table and chair, making a clanging sound.

The posture and demeanor are a little wanton in casualness.

"I don't like to go around the bend, so let's get straight to the point. ”

Xie Teng squinted, looked at Lin Fan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I heard that in the past few days, you have made a stinky boy the emperor of the Black Sword Palace?"

"Not bad. ”

Lin Fan raised his chin, but he didn't expect Xie Teng to ask about it.

This matter has been spread all over the city.

Xie Teng knew that it was not strange, it was strange why he brought it up.

Xie Teng didn't care about Xiao Buyu and the others' eyes at all, his attention was all on Lin Fan, and he said with a straight expression: "He Sheng is still young, and being the king of a country is too demanding, and your consideration doesn't seem to be very thorough." ”

Lin Fan muttered: "With the auxiliary supervision of the Vermilion Bird Hall, He Sheng is just a puppet emperor, it doesn't matter how old he is. ”

Xie Teng twitched: "You should have heard a saying, it is called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

Lin Fan tilted his head slightly and squinted at Xie Teng: "What do you want to say?"

Xie Teng smiled: "The old man has been in the mountains for a long time, and he feels very boring, and he came here today to make a small request to you, hoping that you can fulfill it." ”

"Speak. ”

Lin Fan said indifferently.

Xie Teng had a stronger smile on his face, and said word by word: "Let He Sheng step down, the throne of the Black Sword Royal Court, and the old man will sit down." ”

When Lin Fan heard this, he suddenly chuckled twice.

"Are you kidding?"

Ying Bokong and the others looked stunned, you look at me, I look at you.

I was surprised that this old man suddenly appeared today to be a little disrespectful to the words and deeds of the sect leader, and even put forward a special request to be the emperor.

Xiao Buyu and Yu Taiyue's expressions were quite solemn.

Xie Teng's words and deeds didn't seem to take into account the sect leader's feelings.

He didn't put himself and others in his eyes, and he didn't even look at them with the right eyes.

"Are you joking when you look old?"

Xie Teng's face was solemn, and the essence in his eyes flashed: "The throne of the Black Sword Royal Court is about to be decrepit." ”

"Instead of giving it to a stinky child, it's better for the old man to be the emperor, what do you think?"

Lin Fan fell silent, quietly looking down at Xie Teng below, and did not rush to answer.

Xiao Buyu and the others were also silent, not daring to disturb loudly.

The atmosphere in the main hall became silent.

Xie Teng took a cup of tea to himself, and didn't seem to be worried that Lin Fan would refuse.

Everyone's eyes swept back and forth between Lin Fan and Xie Teng.

Ying Bokong and the others were very curious about Xie Teng's identity.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

After a while, Lin Fan's indifferent voice sounded.

He said in a questioning tone: "What do you mean by this, do you disagree with the decision of this seat to appoint Hesheng as the emperor, and want this seat to cede the throne to you, and you will be in charge of the Black Sword Royal Court?"

"Well, you can understand that. ”

Xie Teng looked at Lin Fan above and said with a smile: "What do you think of this old proposal?"

Lin Fan brushed his sleeves casually: "It's not good." ”
