In the dead of night, Ling Yungao meditated alone to heal his injuries.
This time he suffered a heavy loss. There were people from all the major immortal sect families. For the sake of the name of the leader of the Wuji Sect, he could only fight with all his strength, and he did not dare to say anything even if he was injured.
Ling Yungao frowned when he thought of the magic weapons and talismans used to deal with the demon.
These were his years of accumulation. Not to mention he lost most of them, and he still hasn't reaped any benefits. As the leader of the Wuji Sect, he has the responsibility to lead the suppression of demons. What's more, this time it was the Ling family that caused the trouble, and he didn't deal with it.
Who cleans up?
If the devil is suppressed by him, he can gain a wave of reputation, but now...
Thinking of the situation on the dock during the day, Ling Yungao's breath became heavier.
Then I remembered the conversation between my grandfather and my aunt, and I felt so emotional that I couldn't suppress it.
"Don't you think it's unfair? You have paid so much, but no one remembers your contribution." A voice sounded in my head.
Ling Yungao tried his best to calm his mind and persuade himself. It was nothing. He was already the leader of the Wuji Sect, so naturally everyone had higher demands on him.
"Imagine that you worked so hard and used so many precious magic weapons and talismans, but who remembers it?"
He can't use it. The demon is too strong. If he doesn't use it, Feng Fuxiu and Qingchuan will see that he is lacking in strength. Wouldn't that damage the reputation of the leader of the Wuji Sect?
"So, you are working so hard for the Wuji Sect. But will the Wuji Sect remember you? How did those old guys treat you when they arrived? They seem to be quite dissatisfied, right? When the sect leader went home to visit relatives, he actually made a scene
Such a big trouble comes, and they have to deal with the aftermath."
Ling Yungao thought of the elders who were called to slay the demons. Their words indeed revealed this meaning. As the leader of the Wuji Sect, they could not control the situation. However, looking back, when Ling Bufei came to say goodbye, they encouraged him very much.
Looking satisfied.
"That kid has not yet become a god, but he has already made so many people fall to him. What will happen if his strength increases again? In the history of the Wuji Sect, there is no sect leader who was ousted after being in power for decades, right? Do you want to be that?
The first one?"
Ling Yungao clenched his fists and his eyes dropped.
"Of course, you were originally the acting sect leader, so there is nothing wrong with handing over your authority. After dozens or hundreds of years, when others mention this past event, they may even praise you for your high moral integrity and guarding it for him when he was still young.
He took over the position of sect leader. Haha, in the future, people will remember Sect Leader Ling as Ling Bufei, not Ling Yungao."
Ling Yungao closed his eyes, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop talking!"
"Why don't you tell me?" A black energy escaped from him, and his voice was mocking, "This feeling is familiar to you, right? Just like in the past three hundred years, people only knew Ling Yunzhou, but not you, Ling Yun Gao.
It’s not like you either!”
"You are bewitching me!" Ling Yungao's voice stabilized slightly, "I will never let myself become the first sect leader in the history of Wuji Sect to be possessed by demons."
The black energy became more and more solid, and the voice in his mind became more and more rampant: "Hahahaha, if you really think so, why don't you tell the elders that you are possessed? While everyone is checking to see if there is anything missing, why don't you
Come forward? Say you are infected with demonic energy and ask someone to exorcise you immediately?"
It presses harder and harder: "Because you don't dare! You are afraid of being said, why does the devil look for you instead of others? As the leader of the Wuji Sect, he was actually possessed by the devil. Is there a big loophole in his mind?
?You are afraid of the scrutiny of others, afraid that they will think you are not good enough!"
Ling Yungao's chest rose and fell, and his pupils were unknowingly stained with black energy: "I..."
The voice in his mind softened at this time, as if to comfort him: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me, no one will know that there is a devil in you. Let me quietly tell you a secret, your good big brother Ling Yunzhou has actually been there for a long time.
He is possessed by one of my clones, but do you think anyone knows?"
"What?" Ling Yungao blurted out, shocked by the news, "How is that possible?"
It smiled proudly: "You don't really think that the seal is something that happened in the past few days, do you? You descendants of the Ling family have neglected to take care of it, and the seal has long been problematic. Your eldest brother once had a whim, and his intention
Studying the sealing formation, do you still remember?"
Ling Yungao recalled it and realized that this was indeed the case.
"Actually, he wanted to suppress me, but you saw the result."
Ling Yungao was startled, and couldn't help but recall his elder brother's every move.
"As early as hundreds of years ago, the sealing formation was loosened. At that time, I lost most of my mana and could only let a clone sneak out. Then I met your elder brother. Haha, he has the reputation of being a peerless genius.
Here’s my share!”
Ling Yungao remembered his childhood. He was the grandson of his ancestor, and he had excellent qualifications. He was born to be praised by all the stars. But for some reason, his father's eldest brother, who had long since declined, was better than him in every way. Whenever the two of them were together, he
Always outshined by comparison.
In his memories of his teenage years, no matter what he did, he could not escape Ling Yunzhou's light. He even entered the Wuji Sect. Ling Yunzhou was naturally accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect. However, he was able to worship Elder Mei as his teacher because his elder brother helped him think of a way...
…
Three hundred years passed like this, and it was not until more than 20 years ago that Ling Yunzhou disappeared in Minghe River that he finally came forward.
When he sat on the throne of the sect leader, he thought that the haze had finally dissipated. From then on, when people mentioned the Ling family, they would think of him as the sect leader of the Wuji Sect, and when talking about Ling Yunzhou, they would think of the rumors of a traitor that were not true or false.
…
It turns out that this is how the light of genius that made him extremely depressed as a teenager came from?
Now that his son has grown up, he is coming to take away his position as suzerain again.
"If your eldest brother can do it, why can't you? He has enjoyed the benefits for hundreds of years, shouldn't it be your turn now? If you don't tell me, and I won't tell you, who knows that there is a demon clone in you?"
There was a struggle in Ling Yungao's eyes, and he said painfully: "I don't want to be a traitor..."
Big brother has been famous for hundreds of years, but what happened in the end? The stigma on him is still unclear—no, maybe it’s not a stigma.
"Who said you want to be a traitor?" The demon said, "Do you think I want you to activate the demon-sealing formation and release the demon out of Beiming? Humph! What does the other demons have to do with me? I just want to borrow from you.
Let’s rest my body and rebuild the Demon Realm one day. Then I will leave you and have nothing to do with you.”
Ling Yungao didn't believe it: "But brother..."
"His fate has nothing to do with me." The devil continued to confuse him, "Come on, who says humans and devils can't cooperate? You want the authority from above, and I want to rest and recuperate. We each get what we need, right..."
