Chapter 160: Careerist
"Feng ...... Ze ......"
Deng Yuanxun sat at the table, his knuckles lightly tapping on the jade tabletop, and his face was groaning.
If there is still someone Deng Yuanxun is afraid of in the Liesun Sect, it is this Fengze.
The former sect master of the Fengze Burning Sun Sect, when he announced his abdication, his cultivation was even higher than the Martial Dao Ninefold!
In addition, even the current sect master, Lu Xinghe, has not yet reached the height of Feng Ze.
Jumping from the martial arts to the court, Deng Yuanxun himself was ambitious.
It's a pity that his background is decided, even if the Dongsheng Dynasty recognizes his surrender, but the necessary precautions are also necessary.
After all, Deng Yuanxun was born in martial arts.
People in the martial arts join the court, although this is a way out for high-level martial artists, but it is also a way out that is despised by others.
In this Shenwu Continent, where martial arts are respected, the weight of the word warrior is above the court.
If any high-level martial artist surrenders to the court and is willing to use his powerful cultivation that he has gained for decades of hard work to do things for the court and be an eagle dog, this will be despised by the people in the rivers and lakes.
Deng Yuanxun was willing to be ruined and squeezed into the court, naturally he had a reason to be compelled by him, but since the matter had come to this, he did not want to be a person waiting for death.
However, although the martial arts no longer tolerate him, the court is not much better.
Deng Yuanxun's reckless background determined his embarrassing identity within the Dongsheng Dynasty.
On the one hand, his cultivation is not weak, and he has the super cultivation of the martial arts eightfold, if he can be used by the court, he will be a great general.
But on the other hand, it was also because Deng Yuanxun's cultivation was too high, and it was impossible for the Dongsheng Dynasty to have no defense against him, and he was never able to enter the real core of power, and he had been wandering on the edge.
What's more, the Dongsheng Dynasty also sent Deng Yuanxun to Yishan Province, the three eastern provinces, and became the governor of one province.
This official position is not low, but he is a first-class member of the Eight Classics, in this Yishan Province, it can be said that Deng Yuanxun is a soil emperor and a representative of the court forces.
It seems that Deng Yuanxun was reused by the Dongsheng Dynasty, and his career was very good, but in fact, only he knew that this was clearly a bright rise and a secret descent, which squeezed him out of the core of power!
How can the arrogant Deng Yuanxun stand this?
For him, this is not a promotion to get rich, but a distribution!
Therefore, when he came to Yishan Province on the first day, Deng Yuanxun secretly made up his mind that he would use this place as a springboard to return to the core of imperial power, and the most glorious moment of his life would definitely not be when he took up the post of governor, but ......
It is the supreme glory under that one man, above ten thousand!
To do this, Deng Yuanxun had to let the emperor see his ability, so as a martial artist who was feared by the Dongsheng Dynasty, it became a stepping stone for him to rise to the top.
In this Yishan Province, on the surface, it is no different from other provinces, they are all members of the court and are not as good as the heads of the faction, and even Yishan Province will send a lot of gifts to the most powerful sect of the Liesun Sect every year as a good friend.
But in fact, in secret, Deng Yuanxun has been carrying out his own big things.
Most of those families and small sects that were inexplicably destroyed were unwilling to obey Deng Yuanxun's command, and if they didn't submit, they would die, this was Deng Yuanxun's attitude towards small sects.
As for the Scorching Sun Sect, it was the existence he valued the most.
In order to become the actual controller of the Liesun Sect, as early as six years ago, when Feng Ze announced his abdication, Deng Yuanxun keenly seized the opportunity.
He found Lin Yan, a person who was also extremely ambitious, and the two hit it off and quickly reached an agreement.
Deng Yuanxun used a lot of resources to help Lin Yan cultivate and win over the deacons and elders in the sect, helping him win the position of the sect master of the Burning Sun Sect, and Lin Yan also promised that after he became the sect master, the Burning Sun Sect would obey Deng Yuanxun's orders from then on.
This is a win-win cooperation between the two parties, and it is also a cooperation that after Feng Ze abdicated and Lu Xinghe ascended the throne, he thought that as long as he was well prepared, he would be foolproof.
For this cooperation, Deng Yuanxun waited for six years, during which the resources secretly given to Lin Yan had reached an extremely large level, just waiting for this sect leader re-election, after everything was in place, the two of them won the Scorching Sun Sect in one fell swoop!
At that time, the great achievements of unifying the Wulin Dao in Yishan Province will definitely make the emperor look at him differently, which is what Deng Yuanxun really wants!
I didn't expect it......
I never expected it!
Deng Yuanxun, who thought that there would be no problem, waited left and right, and waited for the news, but it turned out to be the word failure!
Six years of hard work went down the drain, and it was considered good that he didn't split Blood Seven on the spot, and the news of Feng Ze brought back by Blood Seven made him panic.
At this time, Feng Ze suddenly came out of the customs, so did the former sect master realize something, or was there another reason?
The hateful blood seven can't keep up with Feng Ze, and he can't find out the true purpose of the other party.
Even if he also has the super strength of the martial arts eightfold, Deng Yuanxun believes that his combat power is probably comparable to Lu Xinghe, maybe a few points weaker, after all, Lu Xinghe cultivates a real heaven-level martial arts, and the later he goes, the stronger his combat power will be.
And for Feng Ze...... Ninefold super master, which made Deng Yuanxun have no temper at all.
In fact, if it weren't for the fear that the Burning Sun Sect still had Feng Ze there, the plan to seize the Burning Sun Sect wouldn't need to be so troublesome at all, and there would be no need for Lin Yan, a puppet, to stand in front of him.
So what the hell is Feng Ze......
Just when he was bored thinking, the name of another person that Blood Qi had highlighted when he reported to him suddenly appeared in Deng Yuanxun's mind.
"You said that when Feng Ze went to find Lu Xinghe, he still took Ling Yi with him?"
He suddenly asked Blood Seven.
"Yes!"
Blood Qi nodded with great affirmation, and said, "At that time, Ling Yi was cultivating in the Fire Cloud Wall, and many people outside saw it with their own eyes, he was caught by the former sect master and rushed all the way to the Scorching Sun Peak!"
"So the purpose of Feng Ze's departure from the Scorching Sun Sect, this Ling Yi should know about it?"
Deng Yuanxun asked in a deep voice.
"This ......"
Xueqi looked embarrassed and said, "This subordinate is not sure, after Feng Ze left that day, Ling Yi did not go along, but returned to his residence on his own. ”
Blood Seven wasn't sure about this matter, so he just reported what he knew to Deng Yuanxun, and as for what inferences the latter would make, it was not within the scope of Xue Qi's subordinate.
"Have you crossed paths with that Ling Yike?"
Deng Yuanxun asked suddenly.
"Yes!"
Blood Qi replied: "His subordinates have had a relationship with him, and they can still say two words to each other. ”
"Then your identity in the Scorching Sun Sect can still be used?"
Deng Yuanxun asked again.
Lin Yan is dead, Lu Xinghe will inevitably cut off his remaining henchmen, and letting Blood Seven return to the Scorching Sun Sect at this time will undoubtedly put him in a dangerous situation.
Although he knew this, Xueqi didn't even hesitate, and nodded solemnly: "It's okay at the moment, Lu Xinghe's side has not come out in the Scorching Sun Hall since the apprenticeship ceremony, and his subordinates think that he should have suffered internal injuries during the battle with Lin Yan, and he is busy healing his injuries at this time, so he will not react to his subordinates for the time being." ”
"Okay, you go back and get the words out from Ling Yi, this is your chance to make up for your mistakes!"
Deng Yuanxun's face was grim, and he was categorical.
