Just as Xia Houjing was worried, when the news about Liuli King City spread, the entire Yun Sect immediately fell into a state of disintegration.
Except for a few high-level backbones who are completely devoted to Xia Hojing, most people are actually moved by their own desires. There are also a group of bold people who have already left the Wuding Middle Territory, left the Fengyun Sect's helm, and headed for Liuli King City.
As for the few Dharma Kings who had not returned yet, a group of Tiangang elders, and at least half of them, they simply disappeared and never returned.
Emperor Ziyou, on the other hand, did not leave.
In fact, Emperor Ziyou was not so devoted to Xia Houjing. Rather, he knew very well that he had completely turned against Jiang Chen.
If others leave Fengyun Sect, there may be a way out.
He left Fengyun Sect and went to Liuli King City to ask for an antidote pill from Jiang Chen? Emperor Ziyou knew very well that he was definitely asking for trouble.
What's more, his joining the Fengyun Sect was actually voluntary.
"Master, don't worry. Most of the martial arts people are just outsiders. If the Fengyun Sect is to be strong, it can't count on these outsiders!"
Emperor Ziyou was actually very excited. Although he was somewhat suspicious of Xiahou Jing, after knowing Xiahou Jing's origin, Emperor Ziyou also had the idea of a big gamble.
"The leader of Fengyun Sect is a visitor from Wanyuan Island. Even if he loses this time, who knows that he has no chance to turn around?" This is what Emperor Ziyou had in mind.
Xia Houjing's morale was low now. After listening to Emperor Ziyou's persuasion, his mood became slightly better.
"Dharma King Jingyun, as the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister. Now it seems that you, Dharma King Jingyun, are the most trustworthy person of this sect." Xiahou Jing was not stingy and encouraged Emperor Ziyou with a few words.
.
Emperor Ziyou was elated and secretly felt that his move seemed to be the right one.
"Master, this setback of our Fengyun Sect is definitely not due to lack of strength, but strategically, we underestimated Jiang Chen. Moreover, that bastard Mo Wushuang is also a very important factor." Emperor Ziyou mentioned Wushuang.
The emperor also gritted his teeth.
After his analysis over the past few days, he felt that the Wushuang Emperor was simply the trigger for the failure of this plan, and it was from his link that the chain was broken.
When Xia Houjing heard the three words "Mo Wushuang", his heart became angry.
"This guy has always been unique. This time, even my leader was confused by him. I never expected that he turned out to be Jiang Chen's man!"
Emperor Ziyou sneered: "I don't know why that guy is so crazy that he would defect to Jiang Chen, and he seems to be completely devoted to that kid. But that guy is also very evil. He has been undercover in Fengyun Sect for so many years, and he has not been exposed.
?I am very familiar with his martial arts style. But I never imagined that he could actually change his martial arts style so that his subordinates would not associate him with Mo Wushuang at all."
Xia Houjing also sighed: "The most terrifying thing is that this person even did not hesitate to destroy his appearance in order to stay undercover. It is extremely difficult for people without great determination and will to do this!"
Although Xia Houjing gritted his teeth towards Emperor Wushuang, he had to admire him on this issue.
A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Emperor Ziyou.
There is no doubt that he and Mo Wushuang were among the six giants in the casual cultivator world. In fact, his ranking was far above Mo Wushuang. His status in the world and martial arts strength could overwhelm Mo Wushuang.
Now, this unparalleled emperor has great momentum to catch up with him and suppress his limelight.
This is something that Emperor Ziyou cannot accept psychologically. A person who was inferior to him in all aspects before has decided the outcome of this battle.
"Dharma King Jingyun, the Fengyun Sect's vitality has been seriously damaged this time. This leader must also think carefully about the way forward. I will leave the next integration plan to you to take charge of."
"Integration?"
"As you said, Fengyun Sect doesn't need any helpers. Anyone who remains will be the backbone of Fengyun Sect! It must be integrated well. Otherwise, how can Fengyun Sect gain a foothold in the human realm if it is scattered?"
Xia Houjing did not lose his mind. The disastrous defeat in that battle had already determined that he would no longer be able to face Jiang Chen head-on in a short period of time.
Hibernation is the wisest choice for him in the next stage.
While he was talking, someone suddenly announced from outside: "Master, there is a visitor outside. He claims to be the leader's savior and said he wants to talk to the leader about something."
A lifesaver?
Xia Hojing immediately remembered that during the battle in the Liuli King's City, there was indeed a person who had intervened and opened a small gap in the boulder aura of the eight brothers of the Jushi clan, allowing him to find a chance to escape.
Therefore, it would make sense for that man to be his savior.
Xia Houjing has actually been thinking about this matter. Who is the person who took action? There are many answers in his mind.
He was even worried about whether he was the senior master of Wanyuan Island? If so, would this senior master bring his ugly behavior in the human realm back to Wanyuan Island?
All kinds of worries made De Xiahou Jing always worried about gains and losses.
Now that he heard that this "savior" came to his door, Xia Houjing also knew that the ugly daughter-in-law would eventually meet her parents-in-law. Perhaps, it was time to face it calmly.
"Please."
Xia Houjing calmed down and said to Emperor Ziyou: "Jingyun, this leader is very optimistic about you. If anyone from this group of people will get the opportunity to be in heaven in the future, you may be the first one."
Emperor Ziyou was overjoyed when he heard this, but on the surface he said humbly: "It is an honor for me to serve the leader. I don't have any other skills, but I practice eye skills and can see people very accurately. The leader has great luck.
People like this will definitely be able to do great things in the future."
…
"Master Fengyun, a visitor from Wanyuan Island... Haha, it is not easy to be able to create such a foundation at such a young age. Is Wanyuan Island really the true holy land of Shenyuan Continent?" This visitor has silver hair and white hair.
He had a rather old appearance, but he had an unpredictable demeanor. He was Xia Houjing's savior. After the tea was served, this man sighed.
Xia Houjing remained calm, cupped his fists and asked: "Friend, I never thank you for your kindness during the previous battle in Liuli King City. I have the audacity to ask, but I don't know where my friend is from? What's your surname?"
"My surname is Shu and my first name is Wanqing." This old man with silver hair and white beard announced his family name in a free and easy manner.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shu." Xia Houjing clasped his fists again, "But I don't know, Fellow Daoist Shu is here today. What advice can you give me?"
The silver-haired old man Shu Wanqing stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Just to prove one thing."
"Oh?" Xia Houjing blinked but did not ask.
"I heard that Master Fengyun is young and is a visitor from Wanyuan Island?" Shu Wanqing's tone was partly curious and partly indifferent.
It doesn't seem too eager or cold. The tone is very well controlled.
"Is this important to fellow Daoist Shu?" Xia Houjing asked lightly.
"It's important to say it's important. It's not important to say it's not important." Shu Wanqing chuckled and said, "Feng Yun Sect suffered a disastrous defeat this time. The leader has played all the cards in his hand, right?"
"So what? Are fellow Taoists here to gloat?" Xia Houjing's tone suddenly turned cold.
Shu Wanqing smiled leisurely: "If I was just gloating about someone else's misfortune, why would I have intervened that day and directly helped Jiang Chen suppress you? It would still be a big favor, wouldn't it?"
These words made Xia Houjing's expression relax slightly.
"So, Daoist friend Shu seems to have an overtone, so you might as well just say it straight." Xia Houjing said calmly.
Shu Wanqing lightly tapped the armrest of the chair next to him, seeming to be thinking deeply.
After a while, he said: "I am here because I want to cooperate with the leader."
"Cooperation?" Xia Houjing was really taken aback, "How to cooperate? I don't even know your origins, fellow Taoist, so it would be rash to talk about cooperation."
"There is nothing secretive about my origins. I was born and raised in the human realm. Six or seven thousand years ago, when I was galloping around the world, none of the so-called top powerhouses in Liuli King City have yet been reincarnated!" Shu Wanqing
The tone is full of unruliness and wildness.
Generally speaking, people who speak in this tone are mostly wild and unruly people who act lawlessly and are not bound by secular moral ethics.
"Fellow Taoist is a native of human territory?" Xia Houjing actually had a guess.
"Not bad. What? Does the leader think that if you are not a strong man from Wanyuan Island, you are not qualified to discuss cooperation with you?" Shu Wanqing also sounded a little indifferent.
Xia Houjing was not angry, but laughed: "Fellow Taoist, you are overthinking. It's just that I didn't expect that one day I would happily cooperate with the monks from the human realm."
"Everything depends on man-made things. When we reach the level of you and me, do we still need to stick to the opinions of those secular schools? We monks should act according to our own hearts. If people do not serve themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
Xia Houjing laughed loudly and slapped the table: "Okay, based on these eight words, I decided to listen to how fellow Taoists want to cooperate!"
If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
This is actually the cruelest and most direct truth in the world of martial arts.
How many monks regard these eight words as their code of conduct. Apart from these eight words, they can have no bottom line and no principles.
It just so happens that Xia Houjing and Shu Wanqing are both this type of people.
"The leader comes from Wanyuan Island. He thinks that Wanyuan Island is a sacred place in the hearts of our monks. But the leader abandoned Wanyuan Island and came to our human territory. With all due respect, the leader must have a plan for this trip. As the saying goes.
If you don't have any profit, you can't afford it. The leader is here, and he must have the motivation to support you. And after living this long, I have long been indifferent to worldly things. What I pursue is nothing more than the supreme road.
…”
"It's a pity that this human territory cannot support the supreme avenue of a powerful person like you, fellow Taoist. Wanyuan Island is the destination of fellow Taoist." Xia Houjing seemed to have guessed something.
Shu Wanqing did not deny it, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I am not interested in asking what the leader wants from the human realm. But the only thing I can help you with is to help you deal with Liuli King City. And the reward I need is
