Chapter 343: Demon Venerable Gives In
When Zhang Qian took out the Dongyue Emperor Seal, Huangquan Demon Venerable's face suddenly became very exciting.
Of course, he knew what this seal symbolized, and although he didn't dare to say that he could command the gods of the world and the earth, he already had supreme authority in the line of the gods of the earth.
Huangquan Demon Venerable originally thought that Zhang Qian was just a bizarre background, but he didn't expect that he actually had a huge force in his hands, no wonder he acted perversely and unscrupulously, it turned out that he had something to rely on.
Now no matter what, he can't be treated simply as a disciple of the Xiaowei Mountain Demon Sect, with this seal alone, Zhang Qian can be called the helmsman of the Earth God lineage, and his status is on the same level.
"Since Your Excellency has such a huge force in your hands, why do you need to put it under my Xiaowei Mountain fence?" Huangquan Demon took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Qian incredulously, the gods and spirits of the earth are all over the world, mastering the human world, although it is now suppressed by the Daomen, but the huge power is still not comparable to the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, and now Zhang Qian is replacing the Dongyue Emperor to hold the power of the gods and spirits, and why care about this little power in Xiaowei Mountain, this kind of action is ridiculous and unreasonable, just like a farmer once became the emperor, but he had to fight with his former neighbors for that one acre and three points of land, he didn't believe that Zhang Qian killed Yang Jiye purely to vent his hatred。
"Now that the Dao Sect has the heart to sweep through the universe, whether it is the Earth Gods, the Demon Clan, or the Demon Sect, they can't resist it with their own strength, so they must unite. ”
"So you want to annex my Xiaowei Mountain Demon Sect?" Huangquan Demon Venerable frowned slightly.
"How to say that it is annexed, although I am the helmsman of the gods and spirits of the earth, but I am also a disciple of Xiaowei Mountain, I should consider the interests of the sect, anything I do is beneficial and harmless to Xiao Wei Mountain, and the Demon Venerable can see clearly, I am the two peak masters of Shuzhou to save the sky and the blue sea peak. In addition to Yang Jiye, the two family slaves, and secretly helped the great sage of the demon clan to get out of trouble, he was a disciple of Xiaowei Mountain to give grace to the nine-tailed heavenly fox, if the demon clan repaid the favor in the future, he would definitely give back the benefits and the sect, and make the divisive plan provoke the internal dispute of the Daomen, and win a respite for my Xiaowei Mountain Cave Heaven, which thing is not good for my Demon Sect?" Zhang Qian talked eloquently, very calmly.
Huangquan Demon Venerable also nodded again and again when he heard this, and he had to say that Zhang Qian's methods were indeed amazing. And anything he did, whether directly or indirectly, would be of great benefit to the Xiaowei Mountain Demon Sect.
"That's my second reason, it's far more in my interest to kill me than to work with me. ”
"Just say what you think. "Huangquan Demon Venerable was circled around by Zhang Qian, and he couldn't control the situation more and more, not to mention that now he had already given up the idea of killing Zhang Qian, and Zhang Qian persuaded him with only two reasons.
One is that Yang Jiye should be killed, and the second is that he can't be killed.
"Don't you want to hear the third reason?" Zhang Qian smiled slightly, it seemed that any reaction from the Huangquan Demon Venerable was expected and controlled by him.
"Your third reason is that even if the old man wants to kill. I can't kill you, right?" Huangquan Demon Venerable glanced at him, and he also saw through his thoughts.
Zhang Qian's own strength is already extremely strong, and he has an immortal weapon in his hand. It's really difficult to kill him by himself, and even if he succeeds, he will have to pay a heavy price, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The first two reasons are actually false. Only this third reason is the most convincing, if Zhang Qian does not have the corresponding strength, how can Huangquan Demon Venerable be patient to listen to his reasoning?
Zhang Qian smiled undeniably. Then he said: "My idea is very simple, that is, I will inherit the position of the sect master of Xiaowei Mountain. ”
Huangquan Demon Venerable frowned slightly when he heard this, because Zhang Qian's complex and bizarre and extremely sensitive identity, he was even more entangled with many forces, even if he kept saying that he was a disciple of Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, it was difficult for Huangquan Demon Venerable to be unbiased against him, to a certain extent, he still regarded him as an outsider, and he inherited the position of the sect master, to be honest, he was really not very relieved, but Zhang Qian's attitude was not ordinary tough, and the two choices in front of him could not make him feel at ease, if he refused, Zhang Qian would naturally gradually become estranged from Xiao Weishan, Yang Jiye would die in vain, and the other was to accept, and Xiao Weishan's future fate could be pinned on outsidersThere are too many risks.
"Xiao Yunzi, you are the former sect master of Xiaowei Mountain, so you naturally have the right to choose your own heir, what do you think?" Huangquan Demon Venerable was uncertain for a while, and it was difficult to decide, so he was ready to ask Xiao Yunzi's opinion.
The development route of Xiaoweishan in the past 100 years has been formulated by Xiaoyunzi, and this kind of thing is very experienced.
Including the secret alliance with the demon clan, it was also from Xiao Yunzi's proposal.
"In my opinion, it would be better for Zhang Qian to inherit the position of the sect master of Xiaowei Mountain. Xiao Yunzi generally puts aside his personal emotions on this kind of issue, and now he is completely considering the overall interests of Xiaoweishan.
First of all, Zhang Qian is definitely capable of taking on this important task, first of all, his strength is excellent, except for the three Demon Venerables in Xiaowei Mountain, no one is his opponent, and his prestige is quite high, enough to convince the public, judging from what he has done in Shuzhou, no matter the means, The mind is also outstanding, and the entire Daomen is played between failures, which can be called demonic, and secondly, Zhang Qian has a lot of external forces in his hands, which also makes him the best candidate to inherit the position of the sect master of Xiaowei Mountain, as he said, now that the righteous path is sweeping through the United States, if Xiao Weishan is still just fighting alone, it will inevitably be crushed and torn apart, if Zhang Qian inherits the position of the sect master of Xiao Wei Mountain, he can firmly bind the strength in his hands with Xiao Wei Mountain.
However, there are risks, after all, Zhang Qian is not only dedicated to the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, and will never treat the sect as his own home, at best he is just a chess piece.
It also means that Zhang Qian, for the sake of the overall interests, is likely to put Xiaoweishan in danger.
There are pros and cons, Xiao Yunzi used his divine sense to transmit his opinions and concerns into the heart of Huangquan Demon Venerable, and it was up to him to decide.
Huangquan Demon Venerable's eyes were closed, as if he was contemplating, Xiao Yunzi didn't dare to make a conclusion, where did Huangquan Demon Venerable dare to make private decisions, the Yuan Shen's mind went deep into the Black Cloud Palace, and told the matter to the Wuji Demon Venerable who was retreating and sensing the door of all wonders and the Ziyan Demon Venerable who protected the Dharma, and the deep palace seemed to be forever immersed in the deepest darkness, silent for a long time, and finally responded, "Winter is coming, what's the harm in seeking skin with the tiger?"
When the primordial god returned to his place, the Huangquan Demon Venerable sighed, and he already understood the meaning of the two Demon Venerables of Wuji and Ziyan.
Xiao Weishan is now like a guy shivering in the cold wind without clothes. Once the winter comes, there is only one end of being frozen to death, although it is not a wise man's work to seek skin with the tiger, but it is better than being frozen to death, although there is still a mustard in the mood, but the attitude has made great concessions, and said to Zhang Qian: "You admit that you are a disciple of my Xiaowei Mountain, and now you are the master of a peak, and when the sect master is replaced by the old and the new, you are naturally qualified to fight." However, the position of the sect master of my Xiaowei Mountain has always been voted on by the seventy-two peak masters, and a few of our old things just don't object, whether you can sit in this position or not depends on your own ability. ”
"Please wait and see, the three Demon Venerables. Zhang Qian bowed his hand and gave in, so his attitude naturally did not have to be tough all the time.
"The matter of the sect master's selection will be presided over by you, and I will not interfere, the Wuji Demon Venerable has reached the critical moment of shattering the void, and I must enter the Wuji Immortal Palace to protect his Dharma. Huangquan Demon Venerable said to Xiao Yunzi. Then he glanced at Zhang Qian, with both expectation and murderous intent hidden in his eyes, "I hope that my thousand-year-old foundation of Xiaowei Mountain will not be destroyed by you, otherwise even Emperor Dongyue will not be able to protect you." ”
Zhang Qian smiled and nodded. but he did not speak.
After Xiao Yunzi saw the Huangquan Demon Venerable leave, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qian, as if he wanted to say something, but he never said it. only sighed, "It's really terrifying." ”
Now that he is preparing to let Zhang Qian succeed to the position of sect master, it is pointless to be wary of him. As the so-called employment is not suspicious of suspicion, and those words will inevitably seem redundant, it is better to let Zhang Qian let go of his hands and feet to make a big difference in the position of the sect master of Xiaowei Mountain, maybe there will be unexpected effects, a jade seal letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Qian, and said to him: " Now you are temporarily serving as the deputy sect master of my Xiaowei Mountain, and you are familiar with the authority of the head of the sect, but I advise you, do not abuse your power, I know that you have some enemies in the sect, but since you are the sect master, you must have the heart of accepting all rivers, if you take revenge for personal gain, it is tantamount to self-harm. ”
"As long as you respect my decree, no matter who you are, I will naturally treat them equally. ”
Zhang Qian nodded and took the jade seal, he was in a good mood, the future path of Xiaowei Mountain would be formulated by himself, and the capital of fighting with Heavenly Court and Daomen was much more.
"The election of the suzerain will not be carried out until the end of the ten-year competition, you make such a big move, the mess has to be cleaned up, come out with me. ”
Xiao Yunzi led Zhang Qian out of the Black Cloud Palace, at this time Tianquan Peak was still in chaos, before the Huangquan Demon Venerable Yuan Shen descended, under a finger, the entire Tianquan Peak was shaken, and now the square is full of cracks, and the bronze statues of gods and demons ten zhang high have been knocked down, smashing a lot of buildings and halls, but the most chaotic thing is not the scene, but the hearts of the people, Zhang Qian killed Yang Jiye, causing the Huangquan Demon Venerable to be angry, everyone felt a strong fear, although the whole thing may have nothing to do with themselves, but the sudden change of the sky still makes people extremely uneasy, especially those who have been too close to the Flame Hell Peak recently, at this time they are even more trembling。
At the beginning, he was just greedy for temporary interests, and he tried his best to cling to friendship, but he didn't expect Zhang Qian to act so crazy that he actually killed Yang Jiye in front of Huangquan Demon Venerable.
The sudden rise of Flame Hell Peak was indeed a large ship that could sail far away, but no one expected that the captain was a madman, and now he drove into the abyss with him
Zhang Qian followed the Huangquan Demon Venerable into the Black Cloud Palace, and nine times out of ten, it was impossible for the living to come out, but I don't know if Zhang Qian could extinguish the anger in the heart of the Huangquan Demon Venerable, if he was angry, I don't know how many people died in vain.
But in the end, he walked out of the Black Cloud Hall with Xiao Yunzi safe and sound, and appeared in everyone's sight, and everyone was shocked, and they all felt incredible.
"Impossible, he killed Yang Jiye, how can Huangquan Demon Venerable tolerate him!" Xuan Weizi was still secretly rejoicing before, Zhang Qian acted obediently, and finally ate the bitter fruit, but it didn't take long for Zhang Qian to walk out of the 'Longtan Tiger's Den' unharmed, calm and unharmed, it was when he was shocked, Xiao Yunzi gave him another thunderbolt on a sunny day," After verification of the truth, Yang Jiye privately colluded with the Sanqing Palace, killed the patriarch of the sect, it was already a betrayal of the sect, Zhang Qian removed this harm for the sect, avoided unnecessary losses, and made great contributions. ”
"What, instead of punishing him, the Huangquan Demon Venerable made him the deputy sect master?"
Although he was extremely angry at this ridiculous result, he didn't dare to make the slightest outrageous move at this time, and a strong panic surged into his heart, although Zhang Qian was only the deputy sect master now. He didn't have the right to kill and decide, but this was a fairly obvious signal, the three demon venerables had already asked him to replace Yang Jiye, and it only took time and a corresponding process to become the official sect master, but he offended Zhang Qian a lot, but he was afraid that there would be no good days in the future, and his mood suddenly became heavy, and he remembered the congratulations and compliments in his ears, as if he was slapped in the face, and it hurt hotly. Zhang Qian, regardless of means, strength or power, is more terrifying than Yang Jiye.
Why was he blind in the first place, and he made such an enemy just because of a breath of injustice.
He clenched his fists, his palms were already full of sweat, and he held back the panic in his heart, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qian.
I thought that Zhang Qian would look at him condescendingly at this time to promote his victory, but he found that the other party seemed to disdain him, and his eyes never turned away. Standing beside Xiao Yunzi calmly, he already had a bit of the aura of the sect master, and Xuan Weizi couldn't even think of anything other than awe.
He wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Mushengzi, Oki Kazuko and others, who knew him very well, were equally unbelievable about such a result.
"He really made the three Demon Venerables make concessions. Wushengzi and Chong Hezi looked at each other, and they couldn't guess what happened between Zhang Qian and Huangquan Demon Venerable in the Black Cloud Palace.
After conveying the will of the three Demon Venerables, Zhang Qian's position has been completely stabilized. The previous preparations were indispensable, otherwise it would not have been possible for everyone to accept all this so quickly.
Even a few people shouted against Zhang Qian's appointment as deputy sect master. But it was treated as a neuropathy, no one was willing to deal with it, and even far away, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck, this person was Ling Xuozi, the peak master of Xuemu Peak, Xuemu Peak was destroyed in the hands of Zhang Qian, and there was an enmity between the two, but Zhang Qian was on the rise, rising to a point where he could only look up, how could he accept all this peacefully, when everyone congratulated, he was raising his arms and shouting alone, but he didn't roar a few times, and he was tied up as a madman by the people of the Adjudication Division, not Zhang Qian's order, and Xiao Yunzi didn't want to pay attention to such trivial matters。
The person who gave the order was the panicked Xuan Weizi, and now he had given up the idea of going against Zhang Qian, and he didn't have the courage at all, so he naturally didn't want Ling Xuzi to come to the door.
Before Zhang Qian noticed him, he quickly asked the people from the Adjudication Division to lock him away.
Xiao Yunzi also intended to quickly complete the transfer of power, and after conveying the will of the three demon venerables, he ordered Chong Hezi to preside over the affairs related to the final conclusion of the sect competition, and returned to the Black Cloud Hall alone, naturally he wanted to hand over this mess to Zhang Qian to deal with, dealing with Zhang Qian did give him a headache, and secondly, he also wanted to secretly observe whether Zhang Qian was competent for the position of the sect master, and whether he would use the power in his hands to wantonly come nonsense, Chong Hezi was very nervous and saluted Zhang Qian, naturally he couldn't help but congratulate him, Zhang Qian nodded, and then said: " You deal with the matter here first, everything is as usual, you don't need to ask for instructions like me, you only need to convey an order to me after you are done, and the seventy-two peaks will start preparing for battle. ”
"There will be a war in my Xiaoweishan in the near future?" Chong Hezi couldn't help but show surprise when he saw Zhang Qian's serious expression, the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect had been in obscurity for nearly a thousand years, and Zhang Qian's power was about to raise troops, which was too fast.
"You'll know when the time comes, and if you prepare early, you'll have a better chance of winning. Zhang Qian waved his hand and went straight back to the Fire God Temple.
Chong Hezi originally planned to hold a celebration to congratulate Zhang Qian on his ascension, but he seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to slap his ass.
Now Xiao Weishan has been integrated and stabilized, but the situation he will face will be more dangerous, in the past, he was still able to go off the rails alone, and he could still be like a fish in water in the midst of swimming and danger, but now a decision will determine the life and death of Xiao Weishan, the pressure is much heavier, Xiao Yunzi's judgment is not wrong, Xiao Weishan is just a chess piece for him, but this chess piece is heavy, Zhang Qian can't afford to lose, once he loses, he will lose all the games, what should he do next, how to use this chess piece to revive the precarious situation, all need to be carefully considered, the enemy is too strong, so that he is not in the mood to celebrate this victory at all。
In terms of Xiao Weishan's current strength, it is not enough to compete with the forces of the Dao Sect in the world, maybe after the Wuji Demon Venerable shatters the void, it will improve, but Zhang Qian can't pin all his hopes on him alone.
Wang Xuanfu has already made up his mind for Xiaoweishan, and Yang Jiye is one of his pawns, wanting to use his hand to manipulate the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect and balance the great sage of the demon clan.
This will bring a catastrophe to the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, Yang Jiye was eliminated by Zhang Qian, this kind of thing naturally cannot happen again, but the crisis that enveloped Xiaoweishan has not been resolved.
Only by improving the overall strength of Xiaoweishan can we completely get out of the predicament.
To help one or two people improve their strength, as long as they are willing to spend the money, Zhang Qian can barely do it, but to make the strength of a thousand-year-old faction rise, even a little bit, it is not something that Zhang Qian can do.
But if he didn't improve his strength, the Xiaowei Mountain Demon Sect would basically be in an embarrassing situation of slow death.
Now that it is time to make a plan, Wang Xuanfu intends to use the hand of the Demon Sect to balance the demon clan, and any recent move of the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect will be tacitly approved by the righteous path, and it can easily expand the power of the sect to the boundless sea, and with the relationship between Zhang Qian and Su Muqing, the demon sect and the demon clan will not have any conflict, and when the time comes, he can help Su Muqing get out of trouble, and he will control the big cave of Qingcheng Mountain before the righteous path forces.
