281, Nanhua Sects loose mouth, the devils cave breaks out
"The Taoist couple Ming Media is marrying..."
Zuo Qiuying's heart trembled.
From the time Ruan Baimei regretted her marriage until now, she has been looked down upon by many monks from the Nanhua sect and the world of immortality. What she owes now is the promise of the marriage contract made by people like Xu Xing.
A few years ago, when she had not signed the marriage contract with Ruan Baimei, Xu Xing's promises would not have moved her at all, but... things are different now, things have changed and people have changed.
Zuoqiu Ying's apricot eyes were slightly closed, she took a deep breath, her tight jade muscles slowly relaxed, and she no longer resisted Xu Xing's closeness. After all, this man was her future husband.
The two of them rubbed their ears together for a while.
When she heard Fairy Fairy knocking on the door and saying that someone was asking to see Xu Xing, Zuo Qiuying came back to her senses and struggled to stand up from Xu Xing's arms with a red face.
"Master Xu, the lotus seed soup is almost cold. Eat it quickly. I... I will leave first..."
Zuo Qiuying lowered her head, straightened her appearance, tied the buttons of her skirt again, bowed to Xu Xing, and then planned to leave directly.
The Butian Sect had just been established not long ago, and Xu Xing, the leader, must have been a big deal, and there were a lot of trivial matters. If it hadn't been for the retreat due to injuries, the entrance to the cave would have been packed to the brim.
If she guessed correctly, the people who came to see Xu Xing at this moment should be some elders of Butian Sect or messengers from other sects.
"No need."
"Fairy Ying is not an outsider, and the affairs of the Butian Sect are not a big deal. I just listened to it..."
Xu Xing smiled slightly and motioned Zuo Qiuying to sit down again. Then, he flicked his sleeves, returned to the main seat, and cast a spell to open the stone door of the living room.
The stone door slowly opened.
Waiting outside the door were Tan Shan, several elders of the Butian Sect, and a group of fairy fairies, who immediately filed in.
"Master, the Beichen Sect, together with the Sacred Heart Sect, Tiangang Temple and other sects, have already built a camp for our sect in Beihuang. We are just waiting for the leader to come and inspect..."
"The heads of the Ziluo Sect, Xiandao Sect and other sects have recently sent envoys to contact our sect, hoping to learn from the past affairs of the Beichen Sect and send a hostage to join our sect."
A group of elders reported.
"Residence, don't worry..."
"After I recover from my injuries, I will notify you again and let Beichen send several factions to wait for the time being."
Xu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a while, and said.
"As for the Ziluo Sect and the Xiandao Sect's proton matter, let's put it aside for the time being. Let's just say that the two sects should treat each other as equals... Our sect was first established in the Northern Wilderness and accepted the Beichen Sect because of its sincerity.
It’s hard to refuse…”
He said again.
The current overlord of Beihuang is still the Seven-Star Sect, and the Butian Sect has accepted one or two sects such as the Beichen Sect as its subordinate sect, so it is not too bad.
But if you charge too much,
There is no guarantee that Pleiades Saint Lord of the Seven Star Sect will not think too much.
"Yes, leader."
All the elders nodded and wrote down the decree Xu Xing said on the jade slips.
Half an hour later.
The affairs accumulated by Butian Sect in the past year and a half were dealt with one by one through discussions between Xu Xing and the elders.
"With this power, I still walk on thin ice when doing things. I am not arrogant or impetuous. I don't have any contempt for small sects. I am patient..."
"Xu Xing is really not like ordinary people."
After Zuo Qiuying listened to the internal meeting of Butian Sect, her sense of Xu Xing improved to another level, and she sighed secretly.
Although she knew a few years ago that Xu Xing's character was unparalleled, otherwise she would not have planned the success of the two masters, but looking at it now, she felt in a different mood.
"There's one more thing..."
At this time, a sentence interrupted Zuo Qiuying's reverie. The third elder of Butian Sect stood up with his hands raised, glanced at her, and bowed to Xu Xing.
"I'll take my leave first..."
Zuo Qiuying immediately understood what the elder meant. What he said next must be important to the Butian Sect. She was an outsider here, so it would be difficult for her to say much.
"Third Elder, there is no need to hold back. It's okay to just say it. In a few days from the Nanhua Sect, I will personally visit and ask for marriage..."
Xu Xing smiled and said.
Hearing this, Zuo Qiuying was moved and sat down again, secretly swearing that she would never reveal anything about what she heard next to the Nanhua Sect.
Although the Nanhua Sect was her mother's family, she knew that the only people she could rely on for the rest of her life were Xu Xing and the Butian Sect.
"The Qi veins in Qingli Ridge in the Northern Wilderness are stagnant, and it is suspected that a demon cave will be born. I heard that many Taoists from the Yinfeng Sect and the Killing God Sect have gone to this place to find out..."
The third elder pondered for a while and said.
"Devil's Cave?"
Hearing this word, Xu Xing's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and his face looked slightly ugly.
With his city, even when facing Tao Lord Chongtai and others, he would definitely not behave like this.
This shows the power of this demon cave.
"Qingli Ridge should be the jurisdiction of our faction?"
Xu Xing's face darkened slightly.
When would the demon cave in Qingli Ridge erupt? It happened when the Butian Sect was establishing its foothold in the Northern Wilderness. If there was no involvement from the Seven Star Sect, he would not believe it.
"Is it because I took away the Xiyu Sword and was too high-profile?"
"Am I afraid of the Seven Star Party?"
Xu Xing touched his chin and thought.
In the destiny deduction, there was no such major event happening, but now it has happened. Don't think too much, it must be related to him and Butian Sect.
Both he and the Butian Sect have the power to influence the historical process of Donghuang State.
"But at this moment, it is just suspected that the demon cave was born. This should be a warning given to me by the Seven Stars..."
Xu Xing's expression returned to calm.
"Send a list of those who have formed an alliance with our faction this time to the Seven Star Faction, and... take my handwritten letter with you. I will personally write a letter to Saint Lord Pleiades to apologize..."
he said.
Regardless of whether the Qingli Ridge Demon Cave was made by the Seven Star Sect, the etiquette of the Butian Sect must at least be in place. Anyway, these do not involve actual interests.
"Yes, leader."
The third elder took the order and returned to his seat.
"I'll take my leave."
After the matters at Qingli Ridge Demon Cave were dealt with, the elders had nothing to report and immediately stood up, bowed and left.
"Master Xu, this..."
"How about I go ask the ancestors, or the leader, to let the Nanhua sect help the Butian Sect..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After everyone left, Zuo Qiuying saw that Xu Xing still had a look of sadness on his face. After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Qiuying said.
"This matter is beyond the reach of the Nanhua Sect." Xu Xing was greatly relieved when he saw Zuo Qiuying's "arm turned outward". He shook his head and said: "The Beichen Sect is a subordinate of the Butian Sect, but the Butian Sect is also a subordinate of the Seven Star Sect.
Zong, when it comes to internal affairs, the Nanhua faction cannot help even if they are willing to help."
The ten major sects divide the territory of Donghuang Province. Except for the early sects such as Tiansheng Sect, other sects are affiliated sects of each major sect and must pay tribute to the sect every year.
In other words, the ten major sects are the suzerains of various small and medium-sized sects.
Beihuang is the territory of the Seven Star Sect. This is something recognized by all the major sects. In the covenant between the sects, they also agree not to interfere with the internal affairs of other sects' territories.
"Then what does Master Xu... plan to do?"
Zuo Qiuying asked curiously.
Even Feiyu Immortal Palace was defeated by Xu Xing in a fight, but she didn't think that this incident could stump Xu Xing.
Just looking at Xu Xing's expression at this moment, she concluded that Xu Xing must have some idea.
"The Seven-Star Sect's move... is intended to demonstrate to the Northern Wilderness factions, so that the Northern Wilderness factions can recognize who is the real master..."
Xu Xing smiled and said, "Since our sect has handed in the letter of surrender, the Seven-Star Sect will not hold on to this matter forever. After all, it is an upright sect and not a demonic sect. It still needs our sect to resist the Yinfeng Sect and the Killing God Sect.
."
In a few words, he explained clearly to Zuo Qiuying the intrigue involved.
"However...Xu is afraid that this incident will give Feiyu Immortal Palace an opportunity to launch an attack..."
Xu Xing sighed.
It is easy to deal with the Seven Star Sect, but it is difficult to deal with Feiyu Immortal Palace.
Even though the Seven-Star Sect knew that the Butian Sect had established a religion in the Northern Wilderness and was an evil force, in order to withstand the threat of the Yin Feng Sect and the Killing God Sect, they could only drink poison to quench their thirst, curbing the Butian Sect while allowing it to grow.
However, Feiyu Immortal Palace was different, it really wanted his life.
"Could it be that... Feiyu Immortal Palace wants to use the Qingli Ridge Demon Cave incident to force Master Xu to leave the Nanhua Sect and reveal his traces..."
"Even if the Demon Cave doesn't explode, Feiyu Fairy Palace will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire."
Zuo Qiuying was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, she knew what Xu Xing was worried about.
The demonic energy in the demon cave is a supreme treasure for demonic cultivators. Absorbing one ray of demonic energy is better than absorbing hundreds of spiritual energy.
In addition, when the demon cave erupts, a demonic treasure will be born inside it. This treasure is also something that the Taoist masters of various sects compete with each other and is worth a lot of money.
With the current strength of Butian Sect, it is obviously difficult to protect this demon cave and resist the invasion of demon cultivators.
This is all to be expected.
The foundation is about to disappear, so the leader Xu Xing has to come out.
"Before, I was in the dark and Feiyu Immortal Palace was in the light, so the layout went smoothly. Now that Feiyu Immortal Palace and I are in the light, this kind of calculation will come sooner or later..."
Xu Xing said in a deep voice.
…
…
Leaving the spiritual land of Qingzhu Mountain on a cloud, Zuo Qiuying carefully recalled every scene of her conversation with Xu Xing after entering the cave with Wu Ziting.
When she thought of Xu Xing's rudeness to her, her cheeks turned red and two clouds of clouds rose up.
In the past two or three hundred years of practicing Taoism, this was the first time that she had to face the issue of men and women.
"Is Xu Xing using me?"
Zuo Qiuying recalled her passivity after entering the cave, and her willingness to deceive the Nanhua sect and sacrifice her life to help Xu Xing.
She was shivering all over for a moment.
"It shouldn't be like this."
"I want to marry Xu Xing because Xu Xing is a respected figure in the religion and has the potential to become a god and become an immortal. It is also profitable for Xu Xing to marry me..."
Zuo Qiuying opened his own solution.
She and Xu Xing were not childhood sweethearts or fell in love at first sight. The reason why they got together was because the two sects, Nanhua Sect and Butian Sect, needed this marriage.
"Most of the Taoist couples in this world fell in love before marriage. They may be humble, but we are the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families..."
Zuoqiu Ying sighed quietly.
Maybe Xu Xing got close to her because of interests. But since she was emotionally attracted to Xu Xing now, then in the future...Xu Xingding would also be emotionally attracted to her...
…
…
With the Yunjian Sect's intervention, the Nanhua Sect could no longer ignore the Butian Sect. In order to prevent the Yunjian Sect from taking away the Butian Sect, the Nanhua Sect sent an envoy to meet with Xu Xing the next day to discuss establishing diplomatic relations.
thing.
"Although Butian Sect is orthodox, Feiyu Immortal Palace is very powerful now, and our sect... will not give up our interests and become hostile to Feiyu Immortal Palace..."
"Master Xu, please be a little aggrieved. When the Butian Sect grows stronger in the future, or when Master Xu enters the realm of the soul, my faction will give up the diplomatic relations with Feiyu Immortal Palace and only have relations with the Butian Sect..."
A few days later, Tao Daojun came to visit Xuhang Cave Mansion and told the matter of the diplomatic relations between the two factions straight to the point. His words were extremely candid.
"Xu also knows the situation of the Nanhua sect and is in a dilemma..."
Xu Xing nodded, "Although Feiyu Immortal Palace today is not orthodox, the friendship between the two sects is very deep. It is impossible for the Nanhua sect to abandon it easily..."
"Master Xu understands the righteousness deeply and Tao admires him."
Upon hearing this, Tao Daojun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
If Xu Xingzhen is so stubborn that the Nanhua Sect can only choose one family, then the Nanhua Sect will have no choice but to abandon the Butian Sect and re-establish diplomatic relations with Feiyu Immortal Palace.
Even if you bear the infamy of all the righteous factions!
With the two major sects united, the infamy of some small and medium-sized sects means nothing.
"This is a deed proposing diplomatic relations between the two factions. Please take a look at it, Master Xu..."
While talking, Tao Daojun took out the deed that Ding Jifeng had given him and sent it to Xu Xing with magic power.
"The Nanhua sect is worthy of being a close family sect of my Feiyu Immortal Palace. It didn't make it difficult for Xu..."
Xu Xing took the deed and carefully looked at every treaty on it. At the end, the smile on his face grew more and more.
The diplomatic treaty of the Nanhua Sect did not include any treaty that would humiliate the sect. Instead, it included many aid treaties in order to support the Butian Sect.
For example, the Nanhua Sect allocates a certain amount of cultivation resources to the Butian Sect every year. These aid treaties will not be abolished until the Butian Sect grows and the Nascent Soul Realm and Daodan Realm monks it cultivates meet the standards.
"There is also a lot of Fairy Ying's efforts in this. The headmaster only added it after Fairy Ying asked the ancestor..."
Tao Daojun glanced at Xu Xing and said meaningfully.
In fact, Zuoqiu Ying could be used as a bargaining chip by Ding Jifeng and Zuoqiu Patriarch to marry Xu Xing.
So it is conceivable that
Regarding the cultivation resources allocated by the Nanhua Sect to Butian Sect, Zuo Qiuying alone could not persuade the senior officials of the Nanhua Sect to relent.
It's just that the Nanhua Sect has to find a suitable reason for spending so much money to help the Butian Sect.
Then, Zuo Qiuying, who will marry Xu Xing, is the most suitable reason.
With this dowry, Zuo Qiuying gained confidence within the Butian Sect.
This is a win-win situation for the Nanhua School and Zuo Qiuying.
"It turns out to be Fairy Ying..."
"Xu remembers this kindness and will not forget it easily..."
Xu Xing is also a sensible person. After a little thought, he understood what the Nanhua faction was thinking, but since the benefits were at hand, he would not make both factions unhappy.
Sometimes, pretending to be beautiful is a good thing.
"Tomorrow, Xu will go to Chunqiu Mountain in person to ask to see the Zuoqiu clan leader to discuss marriage."
Xu Xing immediately expressed his stance.
"good!"
"Then Tao is waiting for the arrival of Master Xu at Chunqiu Mountain..."
Tao Daojun bowed his head with a smile on his face.
