Chapter 1259 Palace Master

The next day.

Xue Wuxia looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat, looking dignified and majestic. After smoothing out her subconscious frown, she gently exhaled.

She has been really busy these past few days, from preparing for the succession ceremony, to the outbreak of the demonic disaster, to solving the mess left by the Shushan Sect, and to the next memorial ceremony she will participate in.

She could hardly find a single minute to practice.

He even felt a little regretful about taking the position of the Palace Master of Daoshen Palace.

However, after talking with Hua Lianxing for a few words, that regret had dissipated a lot, because she knew that the Shanhai Realm was very important to the Ghost Market, to Qin Fan, and to their own people.

Only by becoming the Palace Master can she become the actual controller of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture. Even if she supports a puppet, there will always be a gap. At least before she gains significant attention in Jiutian Dao Palace, she must sit firmly in this position.

This can also be seen as a process of her spiritual cultivation.

A large number of complicated affairs and the intrigues and secret struggles among the major factions under her have made it impossible for her to raise her mentality too high. It seems like she is hanging in a castle in the air. Calming down appropriately can indeed allow her to see a different scenery.

For example, now she has clearly realized that the use of force alone is not enough to make these factions submit to her wholeheartedly.

Now, the elders of the Dao Palace value her talent more, or the interests and status she can obtain in the Jiutian Dao Palace, and they are looking forward to her giving back to them later, not to mention the unshakable reputation of Ghost Lord in the Ghost Market.

However, compared to Hua Lianxing, who had just become the King of the North not long ago, she was still far behind and could not control her subordinates at all.

Fortunately, after the demon disaster was initially quelled, the Shushan faction took the initiative to come to the door and expressed their submission.

The significance of this loyalty is far greater than the original form of Shushan nominally belonging to Daoyu. They are loyal to Xue Wuxia as a person, and do not hesitate to show goodwill to the ghost market behind Xue Wuxia.

Xue Wuxia also understood the current embarrassing situation that Shushan was in.

Although it is still considered the leader in the small circle of Daoyu in terms of the number of masters, the difference in numbers, coupled with the destruction of Shushan and the plundering of the Far East Demon Realm, has caused it to lose the opportunity to be self-sufficient.

Cultivation requires resources, and the division of resources within the Dao Realm has long been controlled by the major factions. If they now want to jump out and get a piece of the pie, they will naturally be targeted by all parties, including the Palace Master's faction.

It is said that the Palace Master's faction will not completely obey Xue Wuxia's orders. They are an interest group organized around the previous Palace Master Xiaoyaozi. Xue Wuxia is at most a successor, and in the process of the formal transfer of power, there are bound to be some bumps and bruises.

So, to put it in a cold-blooded way, Xue Wuxia and Shushan hit it off immediately, and the former was even more delighted at the heavy blow that Shushan had suffered this time.

Because if Shushan were not in the current stalemate, it would have Taiqing Zhenren who is at the Tianyan realm, and the younger generation would have Jiang Qing, a strong man who just broke through the Tianyan realm, and then there would be the Five Elders of Shushan, the brothers Situ Zhong and Dugu Yuyun, and the Seven Saints of Shushan.

Even with this luxurious lineup, it will still remain outside the Dao Domain circle and still be able to enjoy its status and benefits.

Only the completely devastated Shushan knew how to lower its noble head and take the initiative to express its submission to Xue Wuxia.

At the same time, under the witness of Xue Wuxia, it has been confirmed that the next generation leader of Shushan is Dugu Yuyun.

In terms of strength, Jiang Qing should be a more suitable candidate, but this guy is depressed again.

In the original novel, because he slaughtered a large number of Shushan disciples, his obsession has been rooted in the Demon Locking Tower. It was not until Li Xiaoyao, the son of destiny, persuaded him, and Dugu Yuyun stepped forward to clarify the past grievances, that he was able to let go of his obsession.

From this we can see that this guy can easily get stuck in a dead end.

The same was true for this incident. He thought it through well and decided to temporarily bow to the Shushan top management. After confirming who was the mastermind behind all this, he would kill him. Only by cutting off his retreat could he recall the top management in time.

In his cognition, his own strength in the Tianyan realm is enough to make him the overlord of the mountain and sea world, and he does not think that he will encounter an enemy that he cannot fight against. Even if the opponent is stronger than himself, he is confident that he can defeat the opponent even if it is Taiqing Zhenren in a deliberate sneak attack.

But in the end he was caught.

When he met Ao Xu who was in the Immortal Realm, he was beaten like his grandson. If Ao Xu had not intended to recruit him, Jiang Qing would probably have been killed by Qin Fan before he could arrive.

The psychological impact of this defeat was not actually that great on him. Being beaten up by a strong man was nothing. The knot he couldn't get over was that he chose the worst option, which didn't help at all throughout the whole process and almost got himself into trouble.

If he had expressed his stance in advance and not been so foolish as to play those tricks, there would have been a certain probability that he would have been kept in Caogu's team. With the protection of this Tianyan realm expert, after those few days, there would not have been only three-digit disciples left who died.

After knowing the truth, Jiang Qing began to resent his own cleverness, and just like in the original work, he blamed himself for the deaths of those disciples. Of course, in the original work, he did kill them with his own hands.

It was only after receiving the original owner's memories that he thought he would not commit such a stupid thing again. It was also for this reason that he rejected Taiqing Zhenren's invitation to seek immortality, because in his heart, Shushan School and its disciples were the most important.

But this time, because of a wrong decision, a large number of disciples died. Logically speaking, this was not his fault, but perhaps due to the influence of his fate, this guy was EMO again.

If Xue hadn't had the time to beat him up, Jiang Qing would probably have become obsessed and gone crazy without caring about anything.

And now he shows some signs of being a little crazy, so the position of the head of the sect can only be handed over to Dugu Yuyun.

It is just that no one knows what Situ Zhong said to Dugu Yuyun in private. The development plan of Shushan was entirely handed over to Qingshi and Yushu among the Seven Saints. This included not only bowing to Xue Wuxia's loyalty, but also showing goodwill to the Ghost Market.

It even includes taking advantage of Lingbo and Longming's love affair to deepen the alliance and cooperation with the Yaksha Kingdom.

At the same time, as a way of returning a favor, it can also be seen that Xue Wuxia currently needs a knife to redistribute the interests within the Taoist domain. As for Niu Niu's next task of unifying the underground world of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture, it can also be handed over to Shushan.

As for this memorial ceremony, it will be broadcast live to the entire Dao Realm. In addition to calming the people, it will also give Shushan a chance to officially appear in front of the general public.

After all, it would be impossible for them to continue to hide from the world. Besides, the Far East Demon Realm had been taken away, so there was no need for them to suppress the Demon Locking Tower. In order to recruit disciples, they naturally needed to show up.

Originally, the recruitment of disciples of Shushan was done through internal selection, and they were all the elites among the elites. However, now that the threat of the demon race is gone, other factions are unwilling to let their talented disciples join Shushan.

Moreover, anyone with a little common sense knows that Shushan will definitely compete with them for food in the future. She is no longer the cold and arrogant fairy who was so noble that she disdained to open her eyes to the mortal world.

When it comes to damage to one's own interests, even the dumbest person will become more alert.

"Palace Master, it's almost time." Just as Xue Wuxia was lost in thought, a pleasant voice sounded outside the door.

As Xue Wuxia pushed open the door and walked out, she saw a young girl in a dress with wide sleeves and flowing skirt. Her hair was tied up with a jade comb and a string of pearls hung at her ears, making her look elegant.

This person is Ling Yin, one of the Seven Saints of Shushan.

It was also the case that recently the Shushan faction, in order to show their closeness to Xue Wuxia, took the initiative to send him here to be their attendant.

Ling Yin was chosen because she is the youngest and admires Xue Wuxia the most. Of course, it is also more convenient for her to report some information. After all, it is not easy to meet Xue Wuxia. It is only now that the other party has just taken office as the Palace Master that he is in charge of both big and small matters.

Xue Wuxia also felt quite close to this little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Although the other party cannot be said to be naive, he speaks frankly because he has not yet unlocked the memory of his destiny body.

Xue Wuxia likes to get along with people who can see through her thoughts at a glance.

So within a day or two, they had become very familiar with each other.

For example, now Ling Yin will tell her whatever is on his mind.

"Master Palace Master, you said that I was sent here because they were afraid that I would do something bad."

"What's the matter?" Xue Wuxia walked towards the back mountain while chatting with Ling Yin.

"It's my sister and that man!" Ling Yin's face turned red with anger in an instant, and her cheeks puffed up. "I saw it all yesterday. She was talking and laughing with that man. Humph! She said before that she would never get close to him."

"Do you think he is not worthy of your sister?" From Xue Wuxia's point of view, she actually hoped that this couple could get together like in the original work, except for a little regret that in the original work, they were deeply in love but could only face the separation of life and death.

Most importantly, the combination of these two also represents the deep binding between Ghost Market and Dao Realm.

Of course, hope is hope, she will not interfere in other people's emotional affairs, nor will she think that the missing of this couple will lead to no breakthrough in the relationship between Ghost Market and Dao Realm.

All in all, this is one of those unexpected surprises that could be the best.

However, in front of this little girl who has a sister complex, she would not take the initiative to express her thoughts.

"This is not worthy. Well, it's okay. I'm just worried that the incident in the original work will happen again."

Even from Ling Yin's extremely biased perspective, there is nothing wrong with Long Ming.

Although he is a demon, as a Yaksha clan with many handsome men in the Far West Demon Realm, his aesthetics are very much in line with the mainstream of the human race. As for his character, he is one who can put his responsibilities as a king above his own life, and does not just enjoy the corresponding obligations and live a comfortable life.

This really made it impossible for him to even say a word against his will.

As for strength, although she had not witnessed it with her own eyes, she had heard from her senior sister Cao Gu that the bone snake of the eighth-rank demon was completely crushed by it. If it fully released its momentum, even the current Shushan top star Jiang Qing would be unable to match it.

And his silly sister is still worried about breaking through the Dharma Realm.

Finally, here are the events in the original work.

This is really a bit of nitpicking.

“The conflict between Long Ming and Shu Shan is due to the drought in the Demon Realm. If they want to save the Yaksha tribe, they can only seek power from the human world. But as far as I know, even if there is a drought in the Far West Demon Realm, the Yaksha Kingdom can be transferred to the second day of the Desire Realm.

As for the Three Emperors' Weapons that he needs to pursue in Shushan, it can now be confirmed that before, there was only the Nuwa Jade, which was also packed up and taken away before Taiqing left. Not to mention that Long Ming now belongs to the Ghost Market, so there will be no conflict of position as in the original work.

Even if it is a fatal disaster, don't forget that there is also a pawn shop in the ghost market."

In fact, when talking about the Nuwa Jade, Xue Wuxia was also a little resentful, because Shushan's wealth was indeed rich. Just talking about the three emperors' weapons, the Fuxi Sword, the Shennong Ding, and the Nuwa Jade, their grades would not be weaker than the Yu grade, and might even reach the level of semi-saint weapons.

As a result, the only one left was taken away by Taiqing.

And in the Demon Locking Tower, there is a greater possibility of the magic sword that seals Long Kui, and Fei Peng's sword, the Zhaodan Divine Sword. Both of them have been stranded in the Demon Locking Tower for a while. If you follow the guidance of fate, you can guard the Demon Locking Tower and have a chance to wait for these two magic swords.

But now there is still nothing to wait for. The Demon Locking Tower has become a ruin, and the secret realm inside the tower has been completely destroyed.

Shushan, which was once self-sufficient, has now become a wasteland. The destructive power of those monsters is so great that they can scrape the ground three feet away. In addition, the ground veins are severely damaged, making this place unsuitable for cultivators to reside there.

"Okay, but I will never let my sister marry so easily!" Ling Yin clenched her fists with an angry expression on her face, which made Xue Wuxia smile and pinch the other's little face.

As a result, Ling Yin, who was originally aggressive, suddenly evolved from a little bun into a red apple.

She never mentioned her sister or brother-in-law again.

At this moment, the two had reached the back mountain. As Xue Wuxia pointed his finger at the rock wall in front of them, the originally towering mountain began to shake violently, and then a huge turtle appeared in front of it.

It was the peak turtle that Moro had tried to kill for a long time but failed.

The other party has expressed his submission to Xue Wuxia, because compared to the demon who could not cut it, Xue Wuxia simply summoned the Hunyuan Treasure Mirror obtained in the war between the two worlds, and then used the means of his first control to gently press down the turtle.

Then the turtle was convinced.

It is just so timid. For example, the reason it came to Shushan to cause trouble was because it was bullied by the Queen Mother of the West. Then it obediently rushed over. This turtle doesn't know anything else.

Compared to Qiongwu, Lanyi, Old Man Guteng and other eighth-level monsters who were obviously in trouble, Guigui was lazy, cowardly and ignorant. Seeing this, Xue Wuxia decided to temporarily recruit him as a mount.

After all, it is an eighth-level monster.

Using it first can also show off your status.

Then Xue Wuxia and Ling Yin jumped onto its head, and the Fenggui shrunk its body ten times, then rushed into the sky like a meteorite, and then quickly smashed towards the location where the memorial ceremony was held.

But when it seemed to be falling among those densely packed black dots, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

This also brought the exclamations from below to an abrupt halt.

With the ice crystals and snow covering the entire Shushan area, the silence lasted for a while, and then a collective worship resounded through the sky.

"Greetings, Lord Palace Master!" (End of this chapter)
