In the Ghost King Sect, after a period of chaos, the unconscious Ghost King finally woke up again. Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Xiao Wan, whose face was even pale. It was obvious that he had been frightened a lot just now.
.
However, after the Ghost King came to his senses and took a look at the crowd, he quickly ordered everyone to leave, leaving Xiao Wan alone.
After everyone exited the tent, Xiao Wan stepped forward and helped the Ghost King sit up. At the same time, he whispered: "Sect Master, just rest more. I will be with you in everything."
The Ghost King slowly shook his head, then motioned for Xiao Wan to reach over and whispered something in his ear.
Xiao Wan's expression changed slightly, he turned to look at the Ghost King, seemingly a little shocked, and said: "Sect Master, you..."
The Ghost King waved his hand, looking very tired, but at the same time extremely determined. Xiao Wan quickly understood what he meant, nodded silently, and then walked out quietly.
Soon, only the seriously injured Ghost King was left in the tent. He lay silently on the chair. The surroundings suddenly became quiet at first, but after a while, the movements in the distance outside the tent slowly began to spread again.
reached his ears.
In addition to the original sounds of water, wind and forest beasts in the canyon, there are also more sounds of people moving around in the canyon. People come and go, but no one stays here. The sound gradually becomes noisy, then
It should be that people from the other three major factions have also started to leave here, perhaps heading towards the distant wilderness.
In fact, although the heads of the four major sects of the Demon Sect are all here, firstly, the Demon Sect has a long history and has many factions. Secondly, after Qiu Wangyu unified the Demon Sect, there are countless large and small sects that brought about the war in Qingyun Mountain this time.
, so after the war, there are still many more Demon Cult believers scattered all over the place than there are in this valley. But now, listening to the sounds of people running around in panic, it still makes people feel desolate.
The Ghost King listened quietly without much expression on his face. Perhaps it was because he was too weak at the moment and even this state of mind could no longer move him. Perhaps it was also because he clearly knew that his end was coming.
His heart was just frozen and cold.
After a while like this, when it felt like many people had left, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent. A moment later, Xiao Wan's voice came, with an imperceptible awe, saying:
"Please come in."
The hanging curtain on the tent was opened, and two people walked in after a moment. Except for Xiao Wan, who was one step behind, the person walking in front was surprisingly Qinglong, the leader of the four holy envoys of the Demon Sect.
Qinglong left and came back again, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face. After seeing him, the Ghost King seemed to be refreshed and wanted to sit up. Unexpectedly, his body was weak and he struggled for a while but failed to sit up.
Xiao Wan was startled, and quickly ran over to support him. Then he helped the Ghost King sit up straight, and then took a soft cushion and put it under the Ghost King so that he could lean on it.
Seeing the Ghost King like this, Qinglong also frowned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, walked up to the Ghost King and said: "Old Sect Leader, you don't want to rest and recuperate, why did you call me here?"
The Ghost King smiled and said, "Sit down."
Qinglong nodded, casually pulled a stool and sat in front of the Ghost King.
The Ghost King looked at Qinglong, his voice was low but his speech was still clear, and he said: "Envoy Qinglong, do you and the other three envoys plan to return to the temple next?"
Qinglong nodded and said: "That's right. Youji also said before that since the leader's order has been made, we should naturally obey it."
The Ghost King said "Huh" without comment. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked Qinglong: "I have something unclear, and I would like to ask your envoy for advice."
Qinglong said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. The old sect master is my predecessor in the Holy Cult. Just call me Qinglong by my real name. Please tell me."
The Ghost King said: "The leader passed away suddenly, but before he died, why didn't he decide on a successor?"
Qinglong was silent for a moment and said: "Old sect leader, you were also present that day, and you should know it in your heart. Firstly, the leader has no direct descendants. Secondly, now that the sects of the holy religion are all together, except for the majestic leader Qiu,
Apart from having unparalleled hair, none of the others are enough to intimidate the heroes. No matter who is chosen to sit in this position, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit safely, but will cause trouble and lead to countless killings and disputes, so the leader is unwilling to pass the position to someone
Yeah."
The Ghost King nodded slowly and said: "This makes sense. The leader is talented and has far-reaching knowledge. He must have seen this a long time ago. I only regret that God did not follow human wishes, causing the hero to die early and destroying the great cause of our holy religion."
Qinglong sighed softly and had no words.
The Ghost King said again: "Brother Qinglong, now many of the sects of the Holy Religion have decided to return to the Wilderness Temple. Tell me the truth. After returning to the Temple, can you control the situation and prevent the sects from fighting each other?
Fight?"
Qinglong frowned and said, "Old sect leader, why do you ask questions when you know clearly?"
The Ghost King sighed: "Does that mean we have to follow the same old path again?"
Qinglong was silent for a moment and said: "The four of us have always followed the leader and have not joined any sect in the religion. We are also unable to preside over the overall situation and mediate disputes. However..." He raised his head and looked at the Ghost King with a look of hope on his face and said: "
Old Sect Master, now that the Holy Sect has been defeated, after the disaster, the only ones with the strongest strength are Guizong and Wandu Sect. If you return to the temple together and advance and retreat together, there may be a different situation."
The Ghost King frowned and pondered, then gave a wry smile and said, "We'll see when the time comes. In short, for the sake of the foundation of the Holy Religion, I will always do my best when my old man is around."
Qinglong Su Rong stood up, bowed to the Ghost King Duanzheng, and said seriously: "Thank you very much, old sect master. If the sect leader knows anything about it, he will definitely admire the old sect master."
The Ghost King waved his hand and said: "Oh, don't mention the leader. I feel ashamed of him. By the way, I invite you over in private today. In addition to asking about this matter, there is another thing I want to talk to you about."
Qinglong said: "Old sect master, please tell me."
The Ghost King said: "You four envoys of the Holy Cult have been following the leader for many years. You have been loyal before and after the horse, and I have seen it all. But now that the leader has passed away, I wonder, brother Qinglong, do you have any plans?"
Qinglong raised his brows slightly, but then fell silent. After a while, he said: "I haven't thought about this yet, but I wonder if the old sect master has taught me?"
The Ghost King coughed a few times. It seemed that he had been talking for a long time, which made him feel a little tired again. However, he cheered up and slowly stretched out his hand to gently grasp Qinglong's right palm. He stared at him for a moment and whispered: "
Brother Qinglong, if you have the opportunity in the future, please come to my Ghost King Sect. My whole sect will stand on top of each other to greet you and treat you all as honored guests." After saying this, he paused, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Xiao Wan beside him.
, and said: "Xiao Wan is my close successor, with extraordinary intelligence and talent. In the future, the Ghost King Sect will be handed over to him. Believe me, brother, given time, he will definitely not disappoint you."
Qinglong glanced at Xiao Wan, thoughtfully, then took a deep breath and said to the Ghost King: "Thank you, old master, for your kind words. I will keep my words in mind today. But the most important thing right now is to protect yourself first.
The leader has returned to the temple. As for the rest, please come back to ask for help from the old leader when you have the opportunity in the future."
The Ghost King nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
Qinglong stood up, cupped his hands to the Ghost King, and said, "Farewell." After saying that, he nodded to Xiao Wan who was standing beside him, and then strode out of the tent.
After he left, Xiao Wan saw that the Ghost King's expression suddenly declined, as if his whole person had lost all energy in an instant. He quickly helped the Ghost King lie down, knelt down beside him, and said urgently: "Sect Master, are you okay?"
The Ghost King took a few breaths, looked up at him, and said with some difficulty: "Let's go."
Xiao Wan nodded, but suddenly asked: "How to go? Where to go?"
The Ghost King suddenly fell silent and just looked at him. After a while, he whispered: "What do you think?"
Xiao Wan seemed to have thought about this a long time ago, and said without hesitation at this moment: "We can't go back to the wilderness."
"Why?"
"The wilderness will be in chaos. When the heroes come together and fight among themselves, there will definitely be a sea of blood. In the past, we did not say that we would destroy the sect, but at least our vitality would be severely damaged."
"You are so sure?"
Xiao Wan took a deep breath, approached the Ghost King, lowered his voice, and said: "Now that the leader has gone, the Holy Cult has no one who can determine the cauldron. Although the four envoys are strong, they have no power. The strength of Hehuan and Changsheng has been greatly reduced. Sanmiao and Yu
Yang is not qualified enough, so I'm afraid there will be dissatisfaction within the sect, or there may be internal strife. The Poison God's Ten Thousand Poison Sect is the most powerful, but this person is too ambitious, and he must be coveting the big position, and he will never allow me, the Ghost King Sect, to sleep on his bed.
Take a break. If we return to the wilderness, I'm afraid the Poison God will be the first to deal with us. In addition, the power of the Holy Cult is out of balance and the world is in chaos. This is the time when countless strange people and strangers in the religion are making trouble.
Needless to say, there are many sects, big and small, who are determined to climb up. Going to the barbaric wilderness will cause a lot of harm but no benefit. Please be aware of this, Sect Master."
The Ghost King said nothing and looked at it for a long time, saying: "If we alone do not return, wouldn't we become public enemies of the Holy Sect? When the time comes, we will be attacked by a group of people. How will we deal with it?"
Xiao Wan frowned, obviously having a headache over this. After a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Hold on!"
The corner of the Ghost King's mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on his old and withered face, which seemed to be a bit relieved.
Xiao Wan was shocked and said: "Sect Master, could it be you..."
The Ghost King shook his head at him, motioned for Xiao Wan to approach again, and then whispered: "Later, you will lead everyone to the wild wilderness, walking slowly all the way, and at the same time secretly making people leave, as if people are fleeing in panic. So.
Those who leave should put the elite first, and they are all ordered to go to the Huqishan foundation that we have been operating for many years. From now on, we must not move rashly. Besides, my life is not long..."
Xiao Wan was shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he said in horror: "Sect Master, why did you say this!" (To be continued)
