In the Zuixian Pavilion on the thirty-sixth floor of Zuixian Tower, the windows had been propped up and completely opened. He Hongyao stood by the window, looking down at the raging fire outside the city, his eyes indifferent and cold.
He Hongyao turned his back to Pan Yingjun and said meaningfully: "Master Pan, you have to know that a dead genius is no longer a genius!"
Pan Yingjun's eyes were gloomy, his fists were clenched, and murderous intent boiled in his heart, but he had to suppress it forcefully.
It is true that a dead genius is no longer a genius, but the perpetrator will definitely be chased by the Taixuan Dao Palace madly and relentlessly.
If Taixuan Dao Palace cannot immediately solve the assassination of the genius in the sect, this will have a serious impact on the reputation of Taixuan Dao Palace.
It may even give countless forces the illusion that the Taixuan Dao Palace has reached its peak and is in decline. It is no longer viable and will surely attack them in groups.
A pack of wolves eats tigers. Even if the Taixuan Dao Palace is powerful, it cannot withstand the attacks of countless forces, large and small, and it is impossible to escape the disaster of annihilation.
How can one sect be able to defeat so many powerful forces in the world?
When a bully cannot rely on his notoriety to intimidate ordinary people, that is when the bully falls.
Only maintaining absolute strength is the best way to deal with it.
And he, Pan Yingjun, will be the best scapegoat, and the anger of the entire Xijiang Sword Sect will disappear in Taixuan Dao Palace.
Pan Yingjun knew all of this, but he had no right to refuse. He could only grit his teeth and said: "Don't worry, saint, I know what to do?"
"You go ahead, and someone will tell you what to do when the time comes?"
He Hongyao's tone was as indifferent as ever, as if nothing could cause her mood swings.
Pan Yingjun took a deep look at He Hongyao and took a step forward. Like a breeze, he instantly blended into the vast night without causing any disturbance.
"Saint!"
After Pan Yingjun left, the shadows in Zuixian Pavilion began to squirm, as if they came to life, and finally a real ghost immortal walked out.
Dressed in a light blue gown, with an ethereal temperament and an air of immortality, he is none other than Taiyin Master He Jiuxiao, the big boss of Zuixian Tower and one of the thirteen bosses in Pingzhoufang City.
Pingzhoufang City is composed of four great masters of the second-level immortal realm and nine real masters of the third-level immortal realm.
Although they are all casual cultivators, together they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. Their sphere of influence extends throughout Pingzhou and they monopolize more than 30% of the monks' business in Pingzhou.
Pingzhoufang City has expanded rapidly in recent years, and is still spreading towards the six neighboring states of Ming, Su, Song, Yi, You, and Li.
But He Jiuxiao, the owner of Zuixian Tower who has been passed down for thousands of years and is known as the banished immortal, is actually a disciple of the White Lotus Sect.
He Jiuxiao was originally a descendant of the He family, and he was able to inherit Zuixian Tower because of the support and protection of the White Lotus Sect.
His daughter, He Hongyao, is a psychic body. She is born with a powerful soul and can communicate with gods. She is a natural priest of the gods and was directly selected as a saint by the White Lotus Sect.
Relying on the skills and resources given by the White Lotus Sect, even though He Jiuxiao was just a middle-aged man, he still cultivated to the third level of Immortal Dao, Ghost Fairy Realm, and became famous in Pingzhou.
"Pan Yingjun glanced at me before leaving, and he must have discovered my traces. His strength is by no means simple!"
He Hongyao looked indifferent, such news was not enough to move her.
She said in a cold voice: "Don't be deceived by Pan Yingjun's appearance, his strength is not that weak."
"The Xijiang Sword Code inherited by the Xijiang Sword Sect is a legacy left by the ancient sword immortals."
"Although it is only a fragment, after continuous improvement by countless predecessors of the Xijiang Sword Sect, it can be called the most superior martial arts sword art."
"Pan Yingjun was born with a sword bone, and is extremely talented in swordsmanship. Practicing swordsmanship is like adding wings to a tiger. Xijiang Sword Code has reached the state of perfection."
"In the beginning, it was the discovery that Pan Yingjun had a sword bone that prompted the Great Elder to accept him as a disciple and let him become an undercover agent of the Xijiang Sword Sect."
"In order to completely master Pan Yingjun and the Xijiang Sword Sect, the Great Elder deliberately asked Master Guan Xiang to seduce him quietly, so that he could not help but immerse himself in the beauty of Master Guan Xiang."
"Otherwise, an ordinary disciple would dare to seduce the headmaster's wife after eating it?"
Hearing this, He Jiuxiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he had a deeper understanding of the White Lotus Sect's methods.
In the beginning, he was able to rise to power so smoothly because the direct lineage of the He family attacked each other and killed each other, almost killing everyone.
Now that I think about it, there must be something written by the White Lotus Sect. It’s scary to think about it!
He Jiuxiao did not dare to think further and quickly changed the topic: "I am born with sword bones. This is one of the best swordsmanship talents."
"Coupled with the inheritance of the ancient sword immortal, Pan Yingjun's strength is definitely far beyond that of the same level, and can even be compared to the grand master of the second-level martial arts Tongxuan realm."
"Pan Yingjun has always had a low reputation. It seems that he deliberately hides his clumsiness and does not want to attract the attention of powerful people."
"Think about it, even if it's just a fragment of the ancient sword immortal inheritance, it's not something that the Xijiang Sword Sect can hold on to!"
"Once exposed, it will inevitably attract countless sword cultivators to covet him, and the Xijiang Sword Sect will be destroyed in an instant."
"This Pan Yingjun looks heroic on the surface, but secretly he is vengeful and scheming. Saint, please be careful."
After He Jiuxiao sighed, he changed his words, went straight to the topic, and said slowly, "There have been many inspectors from the Qintian Prison in Pingzhou recently. It is precisely the need for a saint to take charge of the overall situation."
"Why go to all the trouble and risk yourself to contact the Xijiang Sword Sect for Jiang Gan? Once exposed, Saintess You will be in danger!"
He Hongyao's beautiful eyes stared at the blazing fire in the distance, and said quietly: "You don't understand the significance of Jiang Gan to our White Lotus Sect."
He Jiuxiao said in confusion: "Jiang Qian's talent is rare in the world, and he is one of the best in all aspects such as character, understanding, and Taoism."
"Now that you have reached the level 7 Yin Shen Realm, you already have the combat power of the level 4 Divine Might Realm. Your future prospects are limitless."
"In no more than ten years at most, Jiang Qian will be able to possess third-level combat power. After a decade, he is expected to be promoted to a first-level powerhouse, and may even break through to the realm of immortals."
"If such a talented person disappears in Nanjun, it will definitely alarm the entire Taixuan Taoist Palace and attract real people, even big real people, to investigate."
"With the foundation of Taixuan Dao Palace, we can quickly investigate the cause and effect. It is easy to get burned, and some losses outweigh the gains!"
"There are also inspectors from the Qintian Prison who have been eyeing our White Lotus Sect. Once any information is leaked, those inspectors will also target us!"
"Jiang Gan is so important that a lot of eyes are on him. Taking Jiang Gan's attention away from him will do more harm than good!"
He Hongyao nodded and said: "Everything you said is right, but we have no choice!"
"If you look at it this way, Jiang Qian is naturally not suitable. Even though Jiang Qian is extremely talented, he doesn't know how to hide his clumsiness. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it."
"In one disaster after another, a wanton and arrogant enemy can win ten or a hundred times, but if you fail only once, you will lose your life."
"But Jiang Qian is so special. His cultivation is not very high, but he is still very lucky. The conditions are really suitable."
"At the beginning, the extraordinary inner sect competition in Taixuan Dao Palace attracted my attention. I recognized it at a glance as a method of gathering luck, artificially creating a person with great luck."
"Before, I went to see Jiang Gan in person to confirm one thing: whether Jiang Gan is truly a lucky person."
"The result is obvious, but he is only in the seventh-level Yin Shen realm, and his destiny is pure green. His destiny is in the shape of a dragon, and he is protected by two purple lucks."
"The favor of God, the protection of the extreme realm, and the dragon of luck. If an ordinary person gets any one of these, he can be called a person of great luck."
"Jiang Gan possesses the characteristics of three kinds of lucky people. He can be called the protagonist of the era and the son of luck."
"The most important thing is that Jiang Qian's cultivation level is only the seventh-level Yin Shen realm. Even if his combat power is incredible, it is impossible to defeat him to the third level. He will not pose any threat to us."
"When the White Lotus Sect encountered a catastrophe and Shenzhou was destroyed, the Holy Mother suffered a backlash of fate and was plotted against by the Taoist Ancestor, so her soul returned to her hometown in Vacuum."
"When the Qin Dynasty first came into being, Wang Jian commanded a million-strong army and killed and wounded our sect's main altar. I don't know how many strong men died in our sect."
"Over the years, in order to restore the glory of the White Lotus Sect, countless ancestors have continuously revolted and wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, but they were all suppressed by the Qintian Prison."
"Our White Lotus Sect was also regarded as a cult by the Qin Dynasty. It was continuously raided by Qin Tianjian and its subordinate Evil Suppressing Division, Jingwu Division, Demon Dang Division, and Demon Slaying Division, and our power became weaker and weaker."
"Jiang Qian is a man of great luck and has the protection of the extreme. If you want to deal with him, accidents will easily happen."
"When Jiang Gan was in mortal danger, I was not surprised at all that someone from the realm of immortals passed by and rescued him."
"For those with great luck, this is just a basic exercise and not worth mentioning."
"If possible, I don't want to have anything to do with Jiang Gan. For us, continuing to hide and regain our strength is the best thing to do."
"But dried ginger is so special. Not only does its luck go against the heavens, but it also possesses the body of an immortal. It is the best sacrifice for the Holy Mother."
He Hongyao eloquently said that she still has deep feelings for her biological father.
However, the rules of the White Lotus Sect are strict, and the status of the saint is transcendent, second only to the legendary Holy Mother of the White Lotus.
Even if He Jiuxiao is He Hongyao's biological father, he still has to salute him respectfully and call him a "saint".
If he dares to go beyond his limits, the White Lotus Sect's rules will teach him how to behave and make him suffer a punishment worse than life.
People like Pan Yingjun, who have no respect for the White Lotus Sect, will be given up directly and become a pawn even if they are masters. This is the foundation of the White Lotus Sect!
He Jiuxiao took up the words and said loudly: "Once the sacrifice is successful, we can awaken the Virgin, revive her, and truly walk in the sunshine."
"No more hiding, just like rats in the sewers, living in constant fear of being hunted by the inspectors of the Qin Tian Jian."
He Jiuxiao became more and more excited as he talked, tears of excitement appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he cried with joy.
"It's great to sacrifice a blood sacrifice to Jiang Gan and benefit hundreds of millions of followers of our White Lotus Sect. This is a great merit, and Jiang Gan will definitely be very happy!"
After a long time, He Jiuxiao regained his composure, used magic power to dry up the tears in his eyes, and said slowly, "What the saint did this time was to test Jiang Gan's true identity and prepare for the blood sacrifice to Jiang Gan."
"I have lived in Nanjun all year round and know Master Pan of the Xijiang Sword Sect very well. He is very scheming. I am afraid he will not be willing to become a pawn?"
Originally, He Jiuxiao was dissatisfied with this action. The action was too hasty and would sacrifice the entire Xijiang Sword Sect, which would be a huge price.
However, given the current situation of the White Lotus Sect, if they want to regain their strength and make a comeback, ascending to the third level will be of little use, and even powerful people in the Immortal Realm cannot do it.
The White Lotus Sect's first elder, Chen Sheng, and the second elder, Wu Guang, are both powerful immortals. They were forced to hide in hiding by the powerful Immortal Qin, so they didn't dare to show up easily.
Without the support of powerful men from the extreme realm, the White Lotus Sect will remain hidden forever, otherwise it will only be the target of the Immortal Qin Court, Qin Tianjian, and the Righteous Path.
The only way to break the situation is to awaken the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. With the foundation of the most powerful person in the world, the White Lotus Sect has the ability to stand upright.
Just like in the Shen Zhou era, it would not be a bad idea to occupy the twenty-four states of the Eastern Barren and become the well-deserved overlord of the Eastern Barren!
Thinking of this, He Jiuxiao's heart began to beat violently, and his calm aura faded, as if he had returned to his boyhood, impassioned and high-spirited.
With his qualifications, the third-level Immortal Realm of Ghost Fairyland is the limit of his potential, and it is almost impossible to get any closer in cultivation.
But the White Lotus Sect has risen again, and with the blessing of massive luck, it is just around the corner to break through to the second-level Yuan Shen realm, and there is hope for the first-level and third-level disaster realm.
Even the legendary realm of immortals and gods is a possibility.
After all, at this time, the luck of the White Lotus Sect had already hit rock bottom, but it was still able to support Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in becoming immortals.
When luck returns to its peak, won't there be more opportunities to attain immortality?
His daughter is a saint of the White Lotus Sect and has a high status. It shouldn't be a big problem to win a spot for him as an immortal.
At this moment, He Jiuxiao didn't care about the life and death of the Xijiang Sword Sect. He only cared about when Jiang Gan would be captured alive and when the blood sacrifice would begin.
As if aware of He Jiuxiao's fiery gaze, He Hongyao slowly said: "The Great Elder has rushed to Nanjun. In the face of absolute power, no matter how hard you struggle, it will be in vain!"
Regarding the fire that Xijiang Sword Sect encountered, the Nanjuncheng government was happy to see the consequences.
You must know that the benefits of a city are limited, and if it is bitten hard by a local tiger like the Xijiang Sword Sect and a large piece of it is taken away, the Nanjun government is quite complaining.
Seeing that the Xijiang Sword Sect is in bad luck, it would be good if they don't add insult to injury. It is undoubtedly a fool's errand to expect the government to send people to rescue them.
Besides, what if this is a plan by the devil to lure the tiger away from the mountain? As the parent official of Nanjun, he is naturally responsible for the safety of tens of thousands of creatures in Nanjun.
On top of Nanjun's city wall, elite county soldiers were stationed on the city wall. The terrifying military aura soared into the sky and shook the sky.
In Nanjun City, every street is patrolled by Zhenxie Guards from the Zhenxie Division and Jingwu Guards from the Jingwu Division.
Anyone who wants to plot evil will be suppressed by the Zhenxie Guards and Jingwu Guards, or even directly killed.
Those low-level gang members who were usually active on the streets, stealing, abducting, and extorting money, were hiding obediently at home, like quails, frightened.
After all, those who danced too happily and tried to take advantage of the troubled waters were all killed on the spot before their blood even ran cold!
Of course, Jiang Gan didn't know all this. He just wanted to eat melons and watch the show in peace, but he didn't want to be trapped in the whirlpool.
