At night, the Star Building is brightly lit, but it is much deserted than in the past.
Seeing Shang Shaoyang come in, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Old ancestor, the boss has gone out for something and hasn't come back yet. What are your orders?"
Shang Shaoyang walked upstairs and said, "I know that he went to do something on my orders and may not be able to come back in the short term. Please worry about the things here."
The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed: "Yes, you must be careful."
Shang Shaoyang randomly picked a seat and sat down, waving his hand: "Go."
"yes."
Seeing that he was just sitting around, the shopkeeper thought he was out to relax, so he called a maid over to serve tea, so he didn't bother him.
Downstairs, someone was talking lively about recent events in the world of immortality.
The one that attracts the most attention is naturally the Battle of Underworld. The Immortal Lords fought hard and almost blocked the Demon Sect back to Underworld. They also worked hard to repair the Demon Sealing Formation. There is also how the late leader Cen looked at death with dignity and awe.
, only one step away from killing the Demon Lord.
Finally, the White Fairy, who had accomplished so many great achievements in the past, actually became a demon - maybe she has always been a demon, but she just disguised it well.
Shang Shaoyang frowned and waved for his maid.
"Isn't there a storyteller in the building? Let him come over later."
The maid said yes and went out to deliver the message.
The chat continued downstairs, and the topic turned to Wuji Sect.
"...The leader of Wuji Sect has been vacant for so many years, and he has finally succeeded to the throne."
"However, Master Ling... Bah! He is Master Ling now, and Fairy Bai is his fiancée. Nothing will happen to this, right?"
"You want to say whether he will show favoritism, right?"
"Haha, don't make it too clear..."
"I don't think so. Haven't you heard? When the Demon Lord showed his power, Sect Master Ling blocked the final blow, otherwise a large number of people would be killed or injured."
"If you ask me, Sect Master Ling is really miserable. The people around him are actually spies of the Demon Sect, and they have been toyed with for decades..."
"Haha, it's hard to say. Don't forget, his father is Ling Yunzhou! I heard that the demon body used by the faceless man Zi Shu belongs to Ling Yunzhou. There is no definite evidence as to whether his father is innocent or not.
."
"As you said, he was just born when Ling Yunzhou's accident happened. Even if there is a problem, it doesn't matter to him."
"Really? Don't forget that he was filled with demonic energy when he was born. It is said that his meridians have been transformed into demons... Also, why do things always happen to the people around him? My father is like this, and so is my fiancée."
"Why didn't you say that his mother died to resist the invasion of monsters? And his grandfather, they are all heroes!"
…
Everything was said, and the two groups even quarreled.
In the end, the noise got too loud and the shopkeeper stopped us, so we started another topic.
"I heard that Danxia Palace is about to change its head. They won't hold a succession ceremony and will directly ascend the throne during the funeral ceremony of Head Cen."
"Really? Who will succeed you?"
"Of course it's Ning Xianjun, he has already transformed into a god."
"It is also a transition for others to rise to the top. Ning Xianjun has a natural appearance and a good character, so he is popular with everyone!"
"Wuji Sect changed its sect leader, and Danxia Palace changed its leader. The two sects changed almost at the same time. Has this happened before?"
"There shouldn't be, right? A generation of chiefs often runs a sect for hundreds of years. How can it be such a coincidence?"
"Come to think of it, the two speakers are very young! I guess they are no more than a hundred years old, right?"
"Yes. The Wuji Sect has ended its generation. Jiang Xianzi, the daughter of old Sect Leader Jiang, was supposed to succeed her, but she died early in the Battle of Minghe River."
"Head Cen is actually in his prime and should have been in charge for another two to three hundred years."
"So the two of them are a generation ahead of schedule! In these troubled times, we met two young immortal sect leaders again. I don't know if they can hold on..."
Yes, the fighting on the front line is so fierce that the Star Reaching Tower is no longer as busy as before. I hope the two new Shangzong leaders can withstand the storms in the future.
------------------
In the death row of Danxia Palace, Huo Chongxiao sat cross-legged and meditated.
He couldn't feel the spiritual energy here, and all spells were banned. He couldn't mobilize any mana by doing this, and he couldn't practice, but he still did morning and evening classes every day as usual.
The long time is meaningless, only in this way can he calm down and endure the torment of the formation torturing his soul.
Sometimes he would also think about when the master would wake up, whether the junior sister would be safe, and when the truth would be revealed.
Even the leader has been plotted. This conspiracy is very strict. Maybe their master and apprentice will be imprisoned for a long time. I hope the junior sister is safe now - there has been no news for so long, she should be safe, right?
The situation was urgent at that time, and Senior Brother Ning was in seclusion again. After much thought, he found that the only person he could trust was Miss Bai. He hoped that she could protect Junior Sister...
Suddenly there was the sound of the iron rope being pulled outside, and then there was a "bang" and the door was opened.
Huo Chongxiao was stunned for a while, then slowly turned back.
When he saw Ning Yanzhi standing in front of him, he was stunned: "Ning, senior brother Ning..."
He had not spoken for so long that his voice was astringent, and even his joyful emotions were delayed and slowly came to his heart.
"Senior Brother Ning!" He finally got excited and wanted to get up, but because he moved too much, the chain was pulled and staggered.
Ning Yanzhi gently supported him, turned around and ordered: "Open it."
"Yes." The guarding disciple stepped forward and unlocked the chains.
Huo Chongxiao couldn't believe that he was free and asked, "Can I go out?"
Ning Yanzhi nodded: "Of course, I'm just here to take you away."
Huo Chongxiao smiled happily and asked: "Have you found out the truth? My master..."
"No." Ning Yanzhi replied calmly, "Uncle Changling will have to stay here for a while."
Huo Chongxiao's mood cooled down slightly and he understood that he was saved by Ning Yanzhi.
"Senior Brother Ning, will the elders have any objections to you? After all, I..."
"It doesn't matter, I have this." Ning Yanzhi opened his hand, and a spiritual light appeared in his palm.
Huo Chongxiao was stunned: "Leader's order? Senior Brother Ning, you..."
"Senior Brother Ning is already the leader." The disciple who brought them in said, opening the cell door, "Senior Brother Ning, you can go out."
"What?" Huo Chongxiao didn't respond.
Ning Yanzhi led him out of the cell door and saw the guard elder Li Chu in the stone hall. He snorted: "You can take this kid away, but you have to watch him carefully. If he does something harmful to the sect,
, even if you are the leader, you still have to bear the responsibility."
Ning Yanzhi replied calmly and politely: "I understand, uncle."
Huo Chongxiao followed him back to the main peak. It was obvious that he had not been imprisoned for long, but the scenery he saw made him feel like he was in another world.
There are white flags on the road, the disciples are removing the "Dian" inscriptions in the hall, and a new spiritual tablet has been added to the Patriarch's hall.
Huo Chongxiao saw the words above clearly, and his hands were shaking.
"Master, master, he..."
"Master has fallen." Ning Yanzhi personally lit three incense sticks and handed them to him.
