Chapter 972: This sect remains unchanged for thousands of years, Sky Shadow Stone
Hearing Xu Zimo's words, Lin Ruhu nodded heavily.
"I have long disliked Bailixiao. During this time, she has been acting recklessly in the Eastern Continent.
You still want to form some sort of demon-slaying alliance," Lin Ruhu said angrily.
"I heard that Empress Hongtian issued a decree, is it true?" Xu Zimo asked.
Lin Ruhu was silent for a while, and finally said: "I heard, just heard.
The Empress does have a decree, but it is not to arrest you, but to tell the sect not to get involved in this matter."
"What about the sect leader?" Xu Zimo asked.
"I'm not sure yet, and the sect leader didn't say it clearly," Lin Ruhu replied.
"Grandpa said that the sect master has the deepest thoughts. No one can guess it until the last moment."
"After all, his words will affect the future of Zhenwu Shengzong. You can't be careless, it's understandable," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"I never thought of relying on the sect."
"This matter is so big this time, so what do you think?" Lin Ruhu asked.
"I didn't think too much. I just used the knife in my hand to kill anyone who stood in my way."
Xu Zimo smiled.
"Okay, then we brothers will work together to turn this continent upside down," Lin Ruhu said with a chuckle.
"Your grandfather probably doesn't want you to get involved," Xu Zimo said.
"He can't be my master," Lin Ruhu muttered.
"You rest here for a few days, and I'll ask you for more information about the outside world."
After Lin Ruhu left, Xu Zimo's life became quiet again.
He slept all day, and early the next morning a disciple came to inform him that Sect Leader Xiao was looking for him.
Xu Zimo yawned, straightened his clothes a little, and walked towards the island where Sect Master Xiao lived.
The island is suspended in mid-air, with green water, green mountains and lush trees.
Xu Zimo walked all the way and came to the bridge where they met last time again.
Sect Leader Xiao was dressed in a white shirt, and his clothes were more formal than any time he had seen him before.
On the long robe, the hem moved automatically in the wind, and he was sharpening his sword by the river, once or twice.
"Long time no see," Sect Master Xiao looked at Xu Zimo and said with a smile.
"It's been a long time since we last met," Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
"I wonder what the sect master wants from me?"
"Reminiscing about old times," Sect Master Xiao said with a smile.
"Besides, such a big thing has happened, so don't pretend like nothing is wrong."
"What do you mean by Sect Leader Xiao?" Xu Zimo asked.
"You should be able to understand the sect's difficulties," Sect Leader Xiao was silent for a while, and finally sighed leisurely.
"Understood, everything is for the sake of the sect," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"If one day, the choice made by the sect is not what you want, don't blame me and the sect," Sect Leader Xiao continued.
"I don't want to escalate the situation further."
"Sect Master Xiao called me here to ease my heart?" Xu Zimo laughed.
"There is something I should tell you. I think you have heard of it," said Sect Master Xiao.
"The empress's will is indeed true, and many elders of the sect also agree on it.
We are taking a wait-and-see approach to this matter.”
"Okay, if there is nothing wrong with the sect leader, I will go back first," Xu Zimo waved his hand.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Sect Master Xiao. He returned to the sect just to have some peace and quiet.
"What I mean is this, if you stay in the sect, the sect will do its best to protect you.
Until you carry your destiny.
If you leave the sect, the sect will be helpless," said Sect Leader Xiao.
"You also know that there are quite a few Imperial Immortal Sects involved this time.
Think about it yourself."
"Thank you very much, Sect Master Xiao," Xu Zimo nodded and left towards the island.
Sect Leader Xiao was indeed extremely benevolent, giving him a chance to choose, and also giving the sect the chance to bet on him.
Xu Zimo walked halfway and suddenly stopped.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Sect Master Xiao, this Zhenwu Saint Sect is really unchanged for thousands of years."
His words were somewhat emotional and seemed to have some meaning.
But Sect Master Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought about something carefully.
…………
Not long after returning to Yannan Peak, Lin Ruhu came to the door again.
He looked at Xu Zimo and hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, the sky won't fall." Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"Uncle Xu resigned as the deputy sect leader," Lin Ruhu said.
"Oh?" Xu Zimo frowned slightly.
"I heard that Uncle Xu had a big quarrel with some elders during the sect's high-level meeting today," Lin Ruhu said cautiously.
"Finally, I resigned from the position of deputy sect leader."
"My dad," Xu Zimo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
I thought to myself, "I still have the same personality as in my previous life."
Although Xu Qingshan was very calm in front of him and did not even mention this matter.
But when it comes to doing things, there is no hesitation at all.
"Is there anything else?" Xu Zimo looked at Lin Ruhu and asked.
"I have already issued a letter of challenge to Baili Xiao, but the other party doesn't seem to care," Lin Ruhu said.
"And I also heard that the Baili family seems to be holding a conference for the leaders of the Demon Slayer Alliance recently.
The basic content is to elect the leader of the Demon Alliance."
"Interesting," Xu Zimo smiled.
"These grasshoppers seem to like jumping more and more."
"Ruhu, do you know why they are targeting me at this time," Xu Zimo asked.
"They are afraid that you will bear the destiny," Lin Ruhu replied.
"Yes, they are afraid that I will be invincible if I carry the destiny, and even if they unite, they will be just a bunch of rabble," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"But they didn't understand one thing. Even if I don't bear the destiny, I am still invincible."
"I believe you, Brother Zimo," Lin Ruhu nodded heavily.
"When I go to the Baili Family another day, I'll make myself a battle suit that looks more handsome," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"We need to keep our aura strong."
"Okay," Lin Ruhu nodded heavily.
Even after he left, he did not disturb Xu Zimo's rest.
Time flies and comes five days later.
Xu Zimo stood up from the recliner and stretched.
He patted the purple robe on his body and sighed: "It's time to change these clothes."
Leaving Yannan Peak, we went straight to Qizhen Pavilion.
This is the place where the Zhenwu Holy Sect collects rare treasures. Although it is not as good as the Wanbao Pavilion of Tiandao Academy, it is still an absolutely forbidden place.
Because Xu Zimo is a saint, he is naturally qualified to enter.
"The Holy Son can receive one item a year," the old man in charge of the Qizhen Pavilion looked at Xu Zimo and said calmly.
"Help me find the Sky Shadow Stone. I remember that the sect should have this thing," Xu Zimo said.
He sat on a chair nearby and waited. The old man searched in the Qizhen Pavilion for about three minutes.
Finally, a box was placed in front of Xu Zimo.
"This is obtained from the cave of an ancient powerful man."
