Jian Wenqing, who rejected Dongfang Ghost Emperor's invitation, immediately teleported back to Dugu Demon Sect with the underworld token. He was indeed worried that Dongfang Ghost Emperor might have some evil intentions, but the more reason was that he had an urgent matter now.
When he just arrived at the meeting hall of the underworld, he suddenly received a message from the leader of the Dugu Demon Sect, Dugu Bubai, asking him to rush back to the sect as soon as possible.
Therefore, he was too lazy to take into account the mood of the Eastern Ghost Emperor. After the meeting, he took the time to return to the Dugu Demon Sect.
And just as he walked quickly towards the main hall in the center of the Dugu Demon Sect's residence, his heart suddenly began to beat rapidly.
He couldn't tell whether he was in this state because of excitement or anxiety, but he vaguely noticed something was wrong.
Especially when he thought of Lin Mo's abnormal behavior in the underworld just now, he couldn't help but frown.
Jian Wenqing admitted that he had spent a lot of time researching Lin Mo as a potential opponent. Although there was not much effective information worthy of reference, he also knew that Lin Mo was definitely not someone who sought death for no reason.
Then he killed King Bian Cheng of the underworld, first he made up an excuse that was full of loopholes, and then he slapped Yin Tianzi's right-hand man in the face in public. This behavior was a bit of a brainless provocation.
However, Yin Tianzi's behavior made Jian Wenqing feel even more confused, so he suspected that Lin Mo wanted to verify something and had already obtained the answer.
Then he shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and walked straight into the hall.
At this time, Dugu Bubai was still sitting on the Skeleton Throne, suspended in mid-air. In front of him were the four Dharma Kings headed by the Silver-Eyed Snake King, Mie Qiujue, and behind him were the elders of the Dugu Demon Sect.
Seeing this, Jian Wenqing couldn't help but look slightly stunned, because in his impression, it was the first time that the senior officials of Dugu Demon Sect had gathered so completely.
But he soon regained his composure and took a step forward: "See the leader."
Dugu Bubai nodded, coughed dryly and said: "Everyone is here, I will mainly talk about two things here. One is that I will do one thing tomorrow. As for when I will come back, or whether I can
It’s unknown if he can’t come back.”
As soon as these words came out, the people below were in an uproar. After all, in their eyes, the masters of Shattered Sky Realm were comparable to the gods. However, the leader of his family, who has always been arrogant and confident, actually said that he didn't know whether he could come back. They couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
They felt a little unbelievable.
Dugu Bubai looked at the increasingly noisy scene, frowned slightly and made the same move as Yin Tianzi. He only revealed a hint of his Shattered Sky Realm aura, and everyone returned to silence in an instant.
So Dugu Bubai continued: "The second thing is that Jian Wenqing will serve as the acting leader of the Dugu Demon Sect. The leader will ask him to complete a task, which will be supervised by the four Dharma Kings. If the task is completed before the five-year deadline,
, that Jian Wenqing will be the new leader of the Dugu Demon Cult.
If the five-year period has not expired, then the new leader will be chosen from one of the four Dharma Kings, and there will be no need for the existence of the acting leader Jian Wenqing.
At the same time, within these five years, you must unconditionally obey the orders of the Sword Master. If anyone disobeys or intends to make some small moves.
If he is to be exterminated, it will be up to you to execute him in public, and I give you this right."
The Silver-Eyed Snake King, the leader of the Four Dharma Kings, Mie Qiujue, quickly took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "I will obey the order of the leader."
Then Dugu Bubai looked at Jian Wenqing with his eyes: "Now this leader can give you a chance to give up your identity as acting leader, Jian Wenqing, what is your decision?"
Jian Wenqing seemed to be stupid at this moment. He was not only horrified that he was going to become the acting leader of the Dugu Demon Sect, but also because this time period was such a coincidence.
On the front foot, Yin Tianzi had just announced his retreat and announced that he would elect a new successor to the Lord of the Underworld in five months. The leader of his own family, Dugu, made similar remarks.
But compared to the seemingly obvious excuse of seclusion, Dugu Bubai is much more straightforward.
Jian Wenqing then tried hard to calm down, and faced Dugu Bubai's question, he said firmly: "Jian Wenqing is willing to be the acting leader of Dugu Demon Cult, and complete the task of being the leader within five years.
If the mission fails, Jian Wenqing will kill himself here!"
The style of the Dugu Demon Cult has always been that the strong will prevail and the weak will die. Ever since he assumed the position of Young Cult Leader, Jian Wenqing has been determined. He knows very well that if he does not ascend to the position of Cult Leader, there will only be one end!
The current situation could not be better for him, because within these five years he will be the leader of the Dugu Demon Sect with real power. After gathering the power of the entire Dugu Demon Sect, he will have the confidence to complete any task.
!
Dugu Bubai nodded, waved his hand and said: "Except for the four Dharma Kings and Jian Wenqing, please step back."
Although the elders still had many things to say, when they saw the cold eyes of the person sitting on the skull throne, everyone spontaneously closed their mouths and left the hall honestly.
After seeing Xianza and others leaving, Dugu Bubai once again turned his attention to the five people in front of him: "I don't need to say anything more. The mission of these five years is easy to say and difficult to say.
Jian Wenqing, from tomorrow when you become the acting leader of the Dugu Demon Sect, you must destroy one of the five palaces of the Tao Sect within five years!"
As soon as these words came out, Jian Wenqing and the four Dharma Kings beside him were completely confused. They didn't see anything simple about this task. Just talking about their old rival, the Creation Sect, they had never conquered it once in so many years.
A clear advantage.
The group of the Five Palaces of the Tao Sect is a bit special. Except for the Solitary Dao Palace, the other four palaces often form groups. It would be fine if they were just having small fights on weekdays, but they really encounter the so-called disaster.
It can be said that the entire Taoism will become unusually united. Just the tradition of the Taoist conference held once every hundred years is enough to show that the continuity of these five forces to this day is definitely not due to some kind of luck.
Dugu Bubai suddenly murmured to himself: "When the Tao rises and the demons disappear, the demons rise and the Tao disappears. This is a fate. After the restraint is lifted, this world will be in chaos."
Then he looked at Jian Wenqing: "After you become the acting leader tomorrow, you will go to my secret room to practice in seclusion. In the next half month, I will help you completely stabilize the True Martial Realm and transfer some of the leaders to
All the techniques that can be practiced are taught.
As for how far you can grow in these half months, it all depends on your own destiny."
Jian Wenqing hurriedly saluted. It must be that the difficulty of the five-year mission was undoubtedly hellish. However, Jian Wenqing, who vaguely discovered something, thought that this mission was not impossible to complete.
Although the four Dharma Kings had many questions, they could only retreat honestly.
But everyone knows that this world is going to be in complete chaos.
