Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

The blood spurted out so quickly and because the black lotus' attack was too overbearing, it couldn't be stopped for a while.

I can only talk while bleeding...
"It's a blessing in disguise."

"But why did Black Lotus suddenly freeze and let me kill him?"

"Is there some conspiracy?"

Everyone looked at each other.

But someone soon refuted: "I don't think it's a conspiracy. If this is all its conspiracy, then it's a bit too scary. Besides, no one knows the situation better than us."

"Given the situation, there is no need for any conspiracy. If we continue to fight, we will be the ones to lose. As long as we lose, will there be any way for Xianwu Continent to survive?"

Duanmu frowned: "If we lose, there will only be one way left, but no one knows whether that way can be taken, so it is really unnecessary to do this. Even if there is a conspiracy, it is not used in this way."

"Correct!"

Gu Xinglian nodded: "So I think it must have gone astray."

"Obsessed?"

Everyone was surprised.

They were still wondering if someone had secretly acted and used some special means to confuse the Black Lotus of Destruction!
But for a moment, no one could figure out who did it and what means they used.

So you, Gu Xinglian, said it was a form of obsession?

"This... isn't right. With such strength, how could he go astray?"

Faced with doubts, Gu Xinglian calmly shook her head and refuted: "Who says that if you are strong, you won't go astray? Going astray exists in any realm, doesn't it?"

"In fact, the stronger the existence, the greater the reaction of going crazy!"

"Besides, this World-Destroying Black Lotus devoured like crazy, and I don't know how many people's essences and even 'memories' it plundered for its own use. The essences, memories, and magic of so many people merged into one, and because they were unable to integrate them, they went astray. This doesn't seem to be difficult to understand, right?"

"What do you think?"

"this···"

"If we analyze it this way, it is indeed possible."

Everyone was stunned.

They had not considered this level before, but after being pointed out by Gu Xinglian, they suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it, absolutely nothing wrong with it!

Going astray is actually caused by "not practicing well enough".

It could be that the energy in the body is unstable, or the spirit is not strong enough.

But the World-Destroying Black Lotus swallowed the essences of so many people, and there is a high probability that both of them are unstable!
Since both of them are unstable, what's so strange about going astray?
Only Li Canghai stared at Gu Xinglian strangely without saying anything.

Going crazy?

As the number one devil in the world, she was certain that she would not make a mistake, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus was not a demonic possession at all!
How could the energy in a possessed person's body be so 'peaceful'? It would definitely explode like a landslide or tsunami!
But at this moment, most people agreed with this statement, and it was proposed by Gu Xinglian...

There is no need to expose it yourself.

But what does this have to do with Gu Xinglian?
Could it be that she did it secretly?

If so...
Then this Gu Xinglian, I'm afraid she has a secret that no one knows. This method can make the World-Destroying Black Lotus dazed and shiver, I'm afraid it can also make us...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Xinglian deeply.

The latter noticed something and smiled at her.

Li Canghai, however, had a fake smile on his face.

"Yes."

"I am not the only smart person present here. I am definitely not the only one who is convinced that the World-Destroying Black Lotus is not possessed by evil."

"It's just that Gu Xinglian was in a hurry to determine the nature of the matter, so everyone did her a favor and didn't expose it."

"···"

Cultivating immortals is never just about fighting and killing, it also involves dealing with human relationships and worldly affairs.

"cough!"

"You all seem to be having a great time chatting."

"I have some bad news for you."

At this moment, Duanmu returned with his men, holding an "account book" in his hand.

"While you were chatting, I had already led people to raid the treasure house of Mahayana Buddhism."

"It's a pity that a lot of treasures were destroyed in the previous war, and these bald donkeys must have used them to feed the World-Destroying Black Lotus, so they had almost emptied the treasury a long time ago. There really isn't anything good left."

"Then what..."

"This Holy Lord will take a look."

He picked up the account book, wet his mouth with saliva, and turned a page.

"After statistics, the total value of the treasures in the Mahayana Buddhist treasury is only 38 million high-quality Yuanshi."

“It’s really a bit unsightly.”

"As for this Holy Lord, I don't want it."

"This Saint Lord also suggested that none of us take them, and instead distribute them to the young monks and ordinary people who were affected by the disaster in the Western Region. How do you think?"

Everyone was stunned.

Thirty-eight million high-grade Yuan stones?
In fact, it is not too little.

But that depends on who you are comparing it with. For a holy place, the treasure house only has these valuable things? Even if a lot of it was swallowed by the World-Destroying Black Lotus and a lot was destroyed in the previous war, it shouldn't be like this, right?
But Duanmu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is the Holy Lord of Wuji Palace. He doesn't look like someone who would lie.

So, if that's all...
It would be better to let it go and give it to the people in the Western Regions so that they can rebuild their homes.

At least you can earn a good reputation.

After all, there are only a few Yuanshi, and if everyone shares it, how much will be left? Reputation is not as important.

After all, by comparison, 'territory' is more important...

Just when the seven Saint Lords were ready to accept, Gu Xinglian quietly stood up: "Saint Lord Duanmu~~~"

"What you said is wrong."

Duanmu narrowed his eyes and said, "How is what this Saint Lord said wrong?"

“Just think about it!”

Gu Xinglian changed the subject and said indignantly: "The World-Destroying Black Lotus swallowed up the origin of all things in the world!"

"The previous war destroyed this place. Logically, there shouldn't be many treasures left."

"It would have been reasonable if it had been completely devoured by the World-Destroying Black Lotus."

"But even after such double consumption, Mahayana Buddhism still has such valuable resources and treasures left. It is really heartbreaking!"

"This is just the treasure house of Mahayana Buddhism. What if we add Theravada Buddhism and tens of millions of Buddhist sects and temples? How many more would there be?"

"Before they were devoured by the World-Destroying Black Lotus! Before they were destroyed in this war, how many were there?"

"Just thinking about it makes me feel sad and shocked!!!"

"You might as well think about it. He has never engaged in productive labor, but only knows how to plunder the people's fat. How many people have he harmed and how much power has he plundered to have such wealth?"

"Ugh!"

Gu Xinglian shook her head and said with great sorrow: "In my life, this Holy Mother hates those who do all kinds of evil and oppress others the most!"

"The Buddhist sect should die and be destroyed!"

"It means that Kong Zhi, the old bald donkey, has already become nothing but ashes. Otherwise, this beast should be killed a hundred times, a hundred times!!!"

Everyone: "..."

Li Canghai was surprised.

Although Gu Xinglian is not a big devil like himself, he can't be said to be compassionate, right?

Why am I so indignant and heartbroken at this moment?
This is very wrong!
Just when everyone was waiting for Gu Xinglian to continue, they heard Duanmu cough.

"cough."

He wet his mouth with saliva again and turned to the next page of the account book in his hand: "Oh~~~!"

"I'm sorry, I just misread it."

"It's not 38 million high-grade Yuanshi, it should be worth 380 million high-grade Yuanshi."

"what?!"

“There are so many?!”

Gu Xinglian exclaimed and immediately clenched her white and tender fists until they crackled.

"It's really... it's really outrageous!"

"It's a good thing that Kong Zhi and his gang died early, otherwise I would have used the criminal law of the Civil Empire to punish corrupt officials!"

"What criminal law?" everyone was curious.

The war is over, so it's always okay to chat now.

Besides, she is a saint after all, so you should at least give her some face and talk to her, right?

"First, dig a hole!"

Gu Xinglian described it vividly, even gesturing with her hands: "Bury the corrupt official's entire body inside, leaving only his dead head exposed."

"Wait, buried alive or dead?" Li Canghai asked curiously.

Gu Xinglian: "..., of course, buried alive."

"Then, make a hole in his head and pour mercury in it!"

"This person will have an itch that is hard to stop!"

Gu Xinglian pointed as she spoke.

It seemed like she was pointing at the account book, but Duanmu felt like she was pointing at himself!

Why do I have an unbearable itchy feeling all over my body?

"So what if it's hard to stop?" he asked with a twitching mouth.

"Of course, the only way to stop it is to find a hole to drill into!"

"I just happened to see a hole on my head, so I scurried out without even leaving my skin behind~!"

After that, Gu Xinglian suddenly asked: "What do you think of this punishment, Lord Duanmu?"

"···"

Duanmu suddenly felt like countless ants were crawling all over his body.

It's itchy!

Although he is not an ordinary person and cannot be afraid of mercury, but people are afraid of scaring themselves.

"Oops, I seem to have seen it wrong again!"

Duanmu turned another page: "I will definitely not be wrong this time."

"The total value of the remaining treasures in the Mahayana Buddhist treasury should be 1.38 billion high-quality Yuan stones."

After saying this, Duanmu shouted, "This is damn Mahayana Buddhism, damn bald donkey!"

"How much of the people's blood and sweat has been taken away!"

"It seems damnable!"

"This Holy Lord will never reconcile with evil!"

He made a strong statement.

But the way people looked at him was somewhat strange and ambiguous.

God damn, you and sin are incompatible.

Just now...
You old man are sin itself!

Who can't react at this moment? Duanmu, this old guy, just wants to take most of it for himself, but he still pretends to be a good guy, saying that it is not valuable and will be distributed to people all over the world...

Good boy, you want to embezzle money!

I almost believed you!
If I really believed you, wouldn't you embezzle most of it?
Fortunately, Gu Xinglian controlled the Sky Mirror and could see everything clearly, otherwise you old man...

Facing all those gazes from the crowd, no matter how thick-skinned Duanmu was, he couldn't help but blushing.

But he didn't have the face to blame Gu Xinglian for peeping at him.

I was just being bewildered, and others were giving me enough face by not exposing me!

Just reminding myself indirectly.

If someone doesn't give you face, just say it directly...

That would be even more embarrassing.

As for this moment, as long as everyone doesn't say it clearly, they can retain the most basic dignity, cough.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Duanmu glared: "Do you think this Saint Lord is interested in this little bit of wealth? Does my Wuji Palace lack this?!"

"Well, that's fine then."

"Later, we will search the rest of the Buddhist sects together. While we are cleaning up the remaining forces of the Buddhist sects, we will also count how much wealth we have and then divide it into... eleven parts."

"The nine of us will each take one share, the other forces will share one share, and the disaster victims in the Western Region will share the remaining share. How do you think?"

The saints nodded.

We have never had a falling out, well, greed is something everyone has.

As long as we don't let this old guy succeed, there won't be any big problems.

As for the follow-up...
snort!
Everybody just keep an eye on it.

Li Canghai even said directly in a 'really mean' way: "Okay, but we need to ask Gu Xinglian to be a witness."

"With the Observatory Mirror here, I don't believe anyone can enrich themselves or accept bribes!"

"Um···"

Duanmu's face twitched: "That makes sense!"

"That makes sense." Li Canghai glanced at him and said, "Am I talking nonsense?"

"···"

Duanmu's eyelids twitched wildly: "Of course you won't."

After a lot of wrangling, there was no follow-up.

"Greed" is naturally despised by people, but doesn't this mean that you didn't get what you wanted?

However, ridicule is inevitable.

Otherwise he will dare to do it next time~!

"Okay, this is settled."

The head of the Bu Tian Pavilion sighed, "This time, our nine holy places have suffered great losses, and the Xianwu Continent has also experienced great changes for the first time, so there are many things going on."

"Don't waste time and words here, just get down to business."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then their faces turned serious.

Win, of course you win.

But the casualties are an objective fact and cannot be questioned at all.

This time...
It really needs to be handled well.

"Let's divide the troops into four groups."

Jie Tian Sect Leader pondered and said, "We will sweep through the Western Regions and save innocent people. As for the division of territory..."

"Deal with it together."

"We have to go all the way to the Western Regions, and we have to deal with Yunding Palace as well. If Yunding Palace has not been completely corrupted, we can give them a chance and leave a legacy for them."

"If it is the same as Buddhism, then..."

He reached out and gently stroked the area just below his neck.

Everyone nodded.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement. Those who should be killed must be killed, but if they are not "contaminated", they can be given a chance to live.

"Li Canghai."

Jie Tian Sect Leader looked at Li Canghai again and asked, "Does your Heavenly Demon Palace have any objection?"

Then he added: "Even if you have an opinion, I can't control you."

"Ah."

Li Canghai sneered: "Interesting, you want me to be the first to take action in the Heavenly Demon Palace, do you think I am a fool?"

This plan is so straightforward!
Doesn't this just want me to destroy the Yunding Palace for the sake of profit without asking whether it is right or not?

Of course, for myself, there is nothing wrong with destroying other sects for the sake of profit.

But···
Is Yunding Tiangong an ordinary sect?

I am not afraid of the infamy, and there is nothing wrong with exterminating the entire family, but if I turn around, these guys will definitely target me and want a piece of the pie.

This is a completely thankless task.

Only a fool would do that!

Whoever wants to do it can do it, I won’t do it anyway.

Ah.

On second thought, Li Canghai felt that it would be better for Yunding Palace and Zuowang Dao to be completely corrupted like Buddhism.

The living ones were completely corroded, and the ones that were not corroded were killed by the corroded ones~
So···
It would be nice if we all destroyed Yunding Palace together and then divided the benefits.

At least I won't have to work hard for everyone to eat together
For Li Canghai, the 'Tao' she pursues is very simple.

Even if plucking a hair can benefit the whole world, I won't do it.
As long as the benefits are great, she can even sell herself out.

But someone wants to take advantage of her?

Pooh!
No way!
Don't even think about taking advantage of me.

Seeing that he could not fool Li Canghai, Sect Leader Jie Tian was not in a hurry and said, "The third way is naturally to go to Zuowang Dao, and we must investigate it thoroughly!"

"As for the fourth group of people, they will go back to their respective places to deal with related matters. After all, this battle has almost summoned all the first-class and super-first-class forces, so they must give an explanation."

"It's natural."

They nodded.

"Okay, let's divide our forces into four groups!"

"You all know what needs to be dealt with, and our people are handling the first three routes together, so there is no need to worry about any problems or concealment."

"If there is nothing else, then just disperse and deal with it immediately."

"Correct!"

"It's gone, it's gone!"

As quickly as they come, they go as quickly as they come.

Of course, many people were left behind to deal with the 'scene'.

It seems that the fight is over, but there are still many follow-up matters.

For example, if the world is riddled with holes, there is no need to worry about the sky, as the laws of nature will slowly repair themselves. It’s just that because the damage is too severe and the impact is too fierce, even the laws of the law and the divine chain of order have been wiped out, so it will take some time.

But this place...

If left unchecked, it will probably remain the same for tens of thousands or even millions of years.

Moreover, disasters such as earthquakes will occur more frequently in the future.

The area where Mahayana Buddhism was located, which was originally a paradise, has become completely abandoned.

This is naturally something no one wants to see.

This is a good place. It can be used again after some repairs!
If it is just abandoned, wouldn’t it be a waste?
therefore···
This requires a lot of manpower.

From repairing the land, clearing out the remnants of the world-destroying black lotus, to building a sacred mountain.

From setting up the formation to restoring the spirituality of the Yuanshi veins.

Then transplant various spiritual plants to restore their "activity"...

This requires people and time.

Fortunately, there are many people here.

Although there aren't many people coming from the Holy Land, there are still so many people from first-class and super-first-class forces. It would be a waste if we don't use them~
The nine holy places asked them to do something trivial, how could they dare to refuse?

Not only do you not dare to refuse, you also have to do your best to do it, and sometimes you even have to pay a little out of your own pocket~
Of course, the Holy Land is not that shameless, and for the sake of face, it will let its subordinates make some money.

As for who will own this place and how to divide it after it is repaired and its spirituality is restored...
That would require that after all the trivial matters were dealt with, the nine holy places would sit down and slowly discuss (argue).

······
"Good guy."

"Is this Gu Xinglian really not a time traveler?"

"Why do I feel like she has watched Stephen Chow's The Deer and the Cauldron?"

Seeing their bickering through the Sky-Observing Mirror, Lin Fan really wanted to laugh.

Mainly, the sense of déjà vu of Master Xing was too strong. "But then again, this wave of benefits..."

"Forget it, just give it to them."

"After all, I have gained a lot of benefits."

"Hey."

As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. Lin Fan is not a thief, but he is not willing to work in vain without any benefit.

As for this time...
The benefits are indeed significant.

Firstly, Lin Fan and Yaya had both swallowed a lot. As long as they went back and refined all the original power they had swallowed, their strength would increase greatly. This was the most direct benefit!
As for resources, the Lanyue Sect actually has no shortage of them.

Even in the future, the Lanyue Sect will not be short of people for a long time.

However, Lin Fan also did a lot.

Halfway through the battle, when Theravada Buddhism made its full appearance, Lin Fan had already sent his scarecrow clone to 'empty the treasure house'.

Although most of the treasure house of Theravada Buddhism is empty, the remaining...
It was also enough to make Lin Fan and Lan Yue Zong's mouths full of grease.

The most important thing is that there is still a large amount of Buddhist heritage!
Although Lin Fan doesn't like monks, he is still good at Buddhist secret techniques. At least some of them are remarkable!
"Gatlin brother."

"The thunder of Buddhism is too shocking. I really can't protect Buddhism. It's impossible for me to protect Buddhism."

"so···"

"What I can do is to help you pass on this lineage of Buddhist cultivation."

Lin Fan sighed secretly: "These secret techniques of Theravada Buddhism are in my hands. After I return, I will put them in the Sutra Library and then find a way to start a Buddhist practice in the Lanyue Sect."

"In this way, it can be said that the Buddhist cultivation lineage has never been cut off in Xianwu Continent."

"Otherwise, judging from the current attitudes of other holy places, Buddhist practitioners... may really become extinct."

"But there's still a small problem."

"I don't like boiled egg heads."

"So, the Buddhist practitioners of Lanyue Sect...will not shave their heads."

"Brother, you are a time traveler after all, so you can still understand this, right?"

"Well... I believe you can understand, so let's just say it's settled."

Gatling Bodhisattva was not there, and Lin Fan was talking to himself again, so naturally there was no response.

But~~~
Could this stump Lin Fan?
"If you don't respond, I'll take it as your acquiescence, brother."

"Ok, deal!"

Well, no problem.

······
The news spread quickly, and before Lin Fan even "arrived home", a large number of cultivators in the entire Xianwu Continent were already shocked and their mouths were crooked and their eyes were squinting. No one could remain calm.

"My God!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

"Mahayana Buddhism, Yunding Tiangong, Zuowang Dao, and the entire Buddhist sect deserve to die!"

"They're dead!"

"They died well! They are all sinners of Xianwu Continent. If it weren't for the nine holy places and many first-class and super-first-class forces trying their best to stop them, wouldn't the entire Xianwu Continent be reduced to food for the world-destroying black lotus?"

"Buddhism...how dare they?"

"Why do they keep saying that Buddha is merciful? Ha, where is their mercy?"

"It's so shameless!"

"···"

Buddhism became the target of public criticism and everyone wanted to kill it, without even needing to do so overnight!

Even if a Buddhist practitioner who travels abroad has not been "corrupted", he will inevitably be looked down upon or even thoroughly investigated. And this investigation...

After all, we are all monks, who doesn’t know who?

Unless you have just started, is there anyone who has an absolutely clean ass that can withstand a thorough investigation?
Have you never stolen anything from others?

You've never killed anyone?

This check...

Naturally there is no way to survive.

As a result, a massive anti-Buddhist movement was launched across the Xianwu Continent.

What? You said you were not corrupted, not blackened?
Sorry, after our thorough investigation, you are not a good person and have done more than one bad thing, so go see the Buddha~
What, you didn't do anything bad?

I don't believe it! We just haven't found out yet.

Go see the Buddha~
It may sound a bit extreme, but... killing ten thousand people might not make even one of them 'wrong'.

Because in terms of cause and effect, they have already owed others more than one life.

So, it can’t be considered a wrong killing.

However, although it is said to be extreme, in reality there is not much.

Buddhism is a "specialty of the Western Regions", and Buddhist practitioners rarely leave the Western Regions because people outside the region are very hostile to these monks, so there are very few of them outside the region.

As for the monks in the Western Regions...
Those who were corrupted have either sacrificed themselves or been killed.

Those who were not corrupted could not even wait for others to kill them. Those who were corrupted had already killed them and fed them to the Black Lotus of Destruction.

Therefore, there are really not many monks left for others to kill!
Not only that.

After being frightened by this, all the forces, big and small, in the Xianwu Continent became much more cautious.

Then···
They found a lot of 'wrong things'.

For example, a neighbor.

Originally I just thought they were a little weird, but now I think about it... Damn, could they be planning some kind of world-destroying crisis?

No, we can't let them continue to do what they want, we have to stop them!

Not strong enough? Then make it public and invite all like-minded people to join us in beating him up!

For a time, chaos broke out in the Xianwu Continent.

but···

In this chaos, we actually found a lot of damn "shit".

For example, a certain sect may appear to be extremely righteous on the surface.

However, some people have found that there are often people who only come in but never leave.

During the disciple-recruiting ceremony, they also welcomed everyone who came.

But most of the people who went there never showed up again.

So, some people thought they had problems. When they led their men to charge in, they found that this was a decent sect, but it was even more evil than a demon sect. There were mass graves everywhere...
This is not an isolated case!

Although their operations are different, they are all bad to the core.

Amidst all this chaos, quite a few of them were actually eliminated.

······
It was two and a half days later when Lin Fan returned to Lanyue Sect.

Today should have been the day when the Southwestern Region opened its gates.

But due to the disturbance caused by the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the process was delayed and the Immortal Bell of the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Flowers was not rung.

Coupled with the panic among the people, all the sects temporarily put the matter behind them.

And saw Lin Fan returning.

Gou Sheng Fan Jianqiang, who had been extremely nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my, Master, you are finally back. These days, I have been suffering a lot."

Lin Fan: "..."

"Yes, yes, that's really hard for you."

"Here, this is our harvest. Take it to the Sutra Library and keep it there until it is ready for the right person."

Lin Fan passed the secret Buddhist technique to Gou Sheng, and the latter's eyes suddenly lit up.

“These are good things.”

"Well, I'll leave first, Master."

Fan Jianqiang ran away.

After receiving the news, the elders came to report the situation and ask how to deal with it.

after all···
There are so many things going on recently!
After being destroyed by the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Xianwu Continent was in chaos.

The Lanyue Sect was also affected to some extent, and there were many things that needed to be dealt with and people needed to make decisions.

Lin Fan spent half a day and finally processed all the information.

Fu Nina came up to him immediately and gently massaged Lin Fan's temples. She said softly, "Master, are you tired? Let me massage you."

Then, his chest quietly leaned forward and pressed against the back of Lin Fan's head.

Her pretty face flushed slightly.

Lin Fan sighed softly: "Don't mention it, I'm really a little tired."

Dealing with things is inherently annoying and tiring.

In the previous battle with the World-Destroying Black Lotus, although I was just a supporting role, I had to consider more things than anyone else! I didn't notice it when I didn't relax, but now that I relaxed, I felt like I didn't even want to move my toes.

"Comfortable."

Feeling Funina's soft little hand, Lin Fan asked, "Where's Tiana?"

"Her? This time, the Blood Sea grew too fast. She said that her realm and the Blood Sea Immortal Body were a little unstable, so she is in seclusion."

"She doesn't even care about her master. The naturally evil Dark Saint is really not a good person."

"You are not like me at all. You are the only one in my eyes and heart."

Lin Fan: "..."

Good guy.

Who did Funina learn the art of tea from?
It’s quite cool!
“Practice is important.”

Lin Fan sighed, "Although I have never urged you to do this, you should still be aware of this."

"Since you want to stay by my side forever, you must be strong enough."

"Otherwise, after a period of time, I will still be the same, but you will turn into a speck of yellow earth..."

“Isn’t it regrettable and sad?”

Funina's expression changed: "Master, I have learned your lesson. I will remember it and I will definitely..."

"You don't need to be too nervous, I just mentioned it casually." Lin Fan waved his hand gently: "Well, I'm really a little tired, I'll take a nap first."

"Please take a rest first, Master. I will give you a massage. What is it called? A massage?"

"···"

"it is good."

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning.

Inside the Alchemy Pavilion.

Lin Dong, whose cultivation was sealed, stood in front of Xiao Ling'er's door, motionless.

The disciples of the Lanyue Sect who passed by pointed fingers at him, but he pretended not to hear them.

Finally, the door opened.

Lin Dong immediately took a step forward and said, “Xiao Ling’er, how long are you going to seal me?”

"Hey?"

The person who came out was Huo Yun'er. She snorted, "You really don't know etiquette. Ling'er and the others rescued you and gave you elixirs to help you heal your wounds."

"You just recovered from your injury, yet you are so aggressive. In my opinion, it would be better not to save you!"

"As for unlocking your seal?"

"With your attitude, who would dare to unseal you?"

Lin Dong’s face turned red.

This···

It's really my fault.

Before being knocked unconscious, he was really resistant and didn't think that Xiao Ling'er and the others would help him heal his injuries. They wanted to suppress and capture him, which must be some other intention.

Conspiracy for what?
That is most likely the inheritance and secret treasure of Yunding Palace!

After all, he is the Holy Son of Yunding Palace and must know many secrets. As long as he can capture me, he can slowly find a way to force me to submit!

Nothing wrong?

But he didn't expect that after he was brought back, although his cultivation was sealed and his personal freedom was restricted, other than that, there was nothing wrong with him.

No one forced or tortured him.

Instead, he gave him medicine to help him heal his wounds.

Other aspects have also been arranged in a comprehensive manner.

Apart from having their cultivation sealed and their freedom restricted, it was truly a perfect way of hospitality.

I am like this...
"Feel sorry."

Lin Dong was also a person who could let go of things easily. He immediately bowed his hands and apologized, saying, "I was a little anxious."

"But both Yunding Palace and I have just experienced a major change, and the situation is even more unclear now, and I... Alas."

"Anyway, nowadays, I don't trust anyone."

"If you, Daoist Xiao Ling'er, really have no bad intentions towards me, then I, Lin Dong, will naturally accept your favor. Please let me go. I, Lin Dong, swear here that I will repay you for this favor even if it costs me my life in the future."

"If you have any plans, please also draw a path for it."

"If I can satisfy you, I will do so. If I cannot, I will kill you or chop you up. We should be more decisive and not waste time."

Huoyuner frowned: "You are such a person."

"Why is it as smelly and hard as a stone?"

"All right."

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "Yun'er, don't be angry."

"He just encountered a great change, and was betrayed by his most respected master and almost died. Just think about it, if it were you or me, how could we treat him well?"

"That's definitely not possible." Huoyun'er's face looked better, but she said, "No, Master will never betray us."

"Of course, our Master is different."

"Is it different?"

Lin Dong shook his head and smiled: "Once upon a time, I thought the same as you did."

"Looking at the reality, it's playing a huge joke on me."

"If I say it's different, it's different!" Huoyuner emphasized.

Lin Dong stopped dwelling on this topic and looked at Xiao Ling'er: "Fellow Daoist, please give me a definite answer."

"I wanted to let you stay in Lanyue Sect for some time, and take you to experience the customs and culture of our sect, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious." Xiao Ling'er sighed: "Well."

"Since you've said this much, if I delay any further, it would appear that we are indeed at fault."

"Actually, there are two reasons why I want to bring you back."

"First, we are not acquainted without fighting. I wanted to make friends with you, but you didn't believe me at the time. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"..., I will believe it for now."

Lin Dong nodded and said that he only believed half of it.

As the saying goes, once bitten, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. What's more, he was betrayed by one of his closest people.

"As for the second one."

Xiao Linger smiled slightly: "To be honest, our Lanyue Sect is still a third-rate sect and is in urgent need of development."

"And development cannot be separated from talents."

“You, Lin Dong, are a talented person with excellent martial arts talent. Therefore, I want you to join our Lanyue Sect. With your strength and talent, as long as you are devoted to the sect, you can be the senior brother of our martial arts lineage!”

"Of course, it's understandable that you are very resistant to all this since you are experiencing a big change for the first time."

"But I still hope you can think carefully about it, at least... spend some time with us in Lanyue and get to know each other better before making a decision."

"···"

Lin Dong frowned: “I see.”

"But I have my master's inheritance, Yunding Palace... Although my master treated me like that, Yunding Palace is still very good. I want to go back!"

Lin Dong has been thinking a lot these days.

He thought about leaving Yunding Palace and establishing his own power.

I've thought about other things too.

In the end, he decided to go back!
Go back and inherit the Yunding Palace as the Son of God!

If it is possible, then he can run Yunding Palace into a force that belongs to him alone. Isn't this the best 'starting point'?
And if you can really do it, you don't have to worry about those messy things.

"Genting Palace..."

Xiao Ling'er was a little surprised by Lin Dong's answer: "Your master treats you like that, yet you still want to go back?"

"From the moment he attacked me, he could only represent himself, not the entire Yunding Palace. But I don't believe that the entire Yunding Palace has been 'corrupted'!"

"You can't go back."

Huo Yun'er was somewhat dissatisfied and told Lin Dong a cruel fact: "Not all the cultivators in Yunding Palace have been corrupted. In fact, the younger generation has not been corrupted and are still 'normal people'."

"But it's a pity."

"When the World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared, the old guys who stayed in Yunding Palace attacked immediately and slaughtered all the young people. Then they sacrificed themselves."

"In other words..."

"Yunding Palace, oh, and there should be a Zuowang Dao, but now, there is no one there."

"Because we activated the wartime state earlier and recalled all the disciples, so...if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the only one left in Yunding Palace."

"But the prerequisite is that you admit that you are from Yunding Palace."

"Perhaps you would like to return to inherit the estate?"

"But you should also be able to imagine what will be left when you return."

"The Cloud Top Palace has become history."

"The same is true for the Zuowang Dao. However, based on the characteristics of the Zuowang Dao, perhaps some of them are still alive in the world, but they certainly cannot be many."

"So you want to go back, that's just wishful thinking."

Lin Dong's expression changed instantly: "You..."

"Is what you said true?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Huo Yun'er spread her hands and said, "Besides, this matter has been widely spread and everyone knows about it. You can just ask anyone you want."

"Besides, think about it, if Yunding Palace was still there, how could we have kidnapped you?"

"After being kidnapped, wouldn't Yunding Palace come to ask for the person?"

"!!!"

Lin Dong’s expression changed again and again.

Xiao Ling'er sighed, "My condolences."

"But all good things must come to an end, and you can't go back to Yunding Palace."

"Listen to me, and stay in our Lanyue Sect for a while. I won't force you to stay in Lanyue Sect, but at least, please face it with a normal mind and make a decision after understanding Lanyue Sect."

"And if you are willing to stay and still have feelings for Yunding Palace, I am confident that I can convince Master to let you create and take charge of the Yunding lineage."

"It can be regarded as a legacy left for Yunding Palace."

Lin Dong remained silent.

At this moment, he was in a state of confusion.

For a moment, I was at a loss as to what to do.

"If I don't agree, will you remove the seal in my body?"

"will not."

"···"

Lin Dong stared at Xiao Ling'er and said almost word by word: "Okay, I agree."

Do I have a choice? (End of this chapter)
