Above the Clouds

Chapter 172

Views:

The mountains and rivers are silent, the wind and clouds are stagnant, the stars are dim, and only the majesty of the devil is left in the vast sky and earth. en8. Yun Qing is dressed in white and is facing the wind. He is making seals between life and death, and the clanging demon horns are ringing in all directions.

I only wish that there would be no good, no evil, no worries, no happiness, no death and no rebirth, so that I could achieve ten thousand lives, ten thousand kalpas, ten thousand transformations and ten thousand distinctions!

The words were sung with ancient music, each word became deeper than the last, and the demonic energy surged upward like a rising tide. Linjun's face turned pale, and he was forced back a few steps by the mighty power of Yama's holy body. Yama's holy body raised his arms and slashed down, with both claws pointing directly at his body. Linjun retreated hastily, but the holy body of Yama was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he reached out and wanted to close him, and the next moment he could crush him.

But Linjun's eyes were stern and showed no fear. He wanted to make a last ditch effort.

But the holy body of Yama stopped only half a step away from him. All the black clouds and magic fog in the middle of the mountain have dispersed, and the sky is clear with no more clouds. Sweat beaded on Linjun's forehead, the back of his Taoist robe was soaked with sweat, and his mind finally relaxed. He raised his head and looked towards Huang Quan. The great elder stood behind her, holding a sword to her throat, forcing her to put her hands behind her back. Linjun looked at his expression and felt that it wouldn't be surprising if the Great Elder took action next moment.

Yun Qing spent a lot of money when he broke through the realm before. Moreover, he broke through three hearts and two minds at once, which is not particularly stable. As soon as she restrained Linjun and was about to escape from the great elder's sword, she didn't expect that the great elder himself rushed up with his sword in hand.

Su Xin was knocked away by him and was still coughing up blood on the ground. Qi Ji looked at Su Xin nervously, then at Huang Quan who was being restrained by the great elder, and finally focused on Senior Brother Linjun who was exhausted.

In just a short moment, Junior Sister Huang Quan broke through to the second state of mind, and the situation suddenly reversed. The current situation is that Huang Quan restrained Linjun with the Yama Sacred Body, the Great Elder restrained Huang Quan himself, Senior Sister Su Xin was struggling to get up and rushed to stop the Grand Elder, and Senior Brother Linjun was trying to escape from the control of the Yama Sacred Body. scope.

In such a chaotic scene, she didn't know which one to persuade at the moment, so she had to step forward to support her senior brother - she couldn't stop the others.

Yun Qing was held by Yi Du like a criminal, and was dragged to the ground in an instant. He kicked Yun Qing in the crook of her knees, forcing her to kneel down. At this time, an elder with a frown and gray hair came forward and said, "The great elder should not interfere in the matter of the direct successor. This is not beneficial to you."

The progress of this matter has nothing to do with their generation in the first place. If they intervene at will, it will not be conducive to the future integration between the elders and the new sect leader.

Yi Du ignored him and kicked Yun Qing's other knee: "The spell is gone, you win this game."

Yun Qing felt the fine scars on her leg bones and knelt down directly in front of the main hall. She panted laboriously and pressed her forehead against the cold stone slab. With her hands still locked behind her back, she stopped kneading and shouted directly: "Stop!"

The holy body of Yama turned into black mist and rushed towards Yun Qing like a group of sharks following the smell of blood. In less than half a moment, they all returned to her meridians. The holy body of Yama was originally transformed by the power of Yama contained in her true energy, so it would be okay if it came back intact. en8. Feeling the return of Yama's power, the strength kept rising. Yun Qing was somewhat ready to move, but the next second he was hit by Yi Du's black giant sword in the spine.

Yun Qing heard the sound of bones breaking. The opponent probably didn't open the giant sword, and there was no harm except dull pain.

"Great Elder, you..." The elder was about to say something just now, but Su Xin interrupted him with a stern voice.

"That's too much!" Su Xin stared at Yi Du, wiped the blood from her mouth, and said with a serious smile, "I abstain."

Yi Du frowned. He was about to say something, but Su Xin immediately said: "What's wrong with Huang Quan's breakthrough through fighting? The Great Elder interrupted many times and even tried to attack and kill him. With all due respect, it's really not my right way to do it!"

"Huang Quan has evil intentions, and the sect master is reluctant to take action because of his old love, so I will be the villain." Yi Du looked at her indifferently, his face as cold and serious as a knife.

Su Xin fluttered her sleeves and walked away, laughing loudly: "Originally, I had no intention of taking the first position, but the Great Elder insisted on making things difficult. I really want to see how you will get along with the future sect master!"

Yun Qing slowly adjusted the movement of the three meridians of true energy, recovering his strength bit by bit. She listened to their conversation word by word while doing her exercises, her face always calm and quiet, as if they were not talking about her.

"enough."

At this time, Demon Lord Qianyuan finally spoke, and his voice came from far away from the main hall, as stern and solemn as ever. Su Xin stopped, Qi Ji and Lin Jun also looked at each other, both of them saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Demon Lord Qian Yuan sighed, and then said slowly: "Su Xin, go and call Gui Meng. Yi Du, let go of Huang Quan."

Yi Du looked at him in silence, an undercurrent was surging between the two of them, Demon Lord Qian Yuan had an unmistakable look of severity on his face, and Yi Du had no intention of retreating. Just when Yun Qing thought they were about to fight, Demon Lord Yidu released his hold on her hand and picked her up from the ground.

"Congratulations to Demon Lord Huangquan for taking over as the first leader. From now on, I will be called the Young Sect Master." Yi Du said word by word. Yun Qing felt that he must be eager to strangle herself to death now.

She pushed the other person's hand away calmly, straightened her clothes, and maintained a soft smile on her face, which contained an elusive malice.

"No courtesy." The reply was as loud as the handover of a battle, with a hint of condescension, which was completely opposite to her always peaceful style.

Demon Lord Yidu's face was frighteningly dark, and there was silence around him. Even Su Xin couldn't bear to look at him, so she quickly turned around and went down the mountain to find Gui Meng. Elder Yi Du was obviously making fun of Yun Qing, but she actually counterattacked without realizing it and directly pushed Yi Du into the position of subordinate. The atmosphere between the two suddenly became extremely tense. This really echoes what Su Xin said just now. If Huang Quan succeeds, then she and Elder Yi Du will definitely create obstacles for each other and have endless secret wars.

"Follow me." Demon Lord Qianyuan broke the terrifying silence. He waved to Yun Qing calmly, "We will hold a succession ceremony when Guimeng and the others arrive."

Demon Lord Qian Yuan came to the rescue, and the other elders calmly expressed that there really should be no further delay, and that the ceremony should be held immediately to avoid further trouble. Su Xin and Gui Meng happened to rush back at this time. Gui Meng didn't know what had just happened, but he could also feel the chaotic and stiff atmosphere.

At this time, the grand ceremony has begun. Demon Lord Qian Yuan is summoning millions of phantoms of Yamas to come to the world as the sect leader. Countless remaining phantoms of the powerful Yamas of the Six Paths flash around.

Guimeng and Qi Ji were both standing by the door. She still couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she pushed Qi Ji beside her with her elbow: "I just left for a while, what happened? It's a mess up there. Half the top of the mountain was lifted..."

Qi Ji secretly glanced at Demon Lord Qian Yuan and found that her master was concentrating on reciting the incantation. Only then did she dare to send a message to tell the whole story clearly.

"Junior Sister Huang Quan and Elder Yi Du had a falling out. Senior Sister Su Xin abstained from voting for Junior Sister Huang Quan, so now Junior Sister Huang Quan takes over..."

"Is this the successor? The matter of direct inheritance has been a child's play since the beginning of Huang Quan. I wonder if the master is old and confused." Gui Meng smiled contemptuously. Qi Ji herself had also wondered before if the master was old and confused. , but now I couldn’t help but feel sad when I heard her say it.

"They started fighting. Elder Yi Du wanted to kill Junior Sister." Qi Ji said somewhat complicatedly. Although everyone knew that Demon Lord Huangquan and Elder Yi Du had a bad relationship, this was the only time they actually fought. She could almost imagine the embarrassing situation that Junior Sister Huang Quan would be in leading the sect many years later.

Gui Meng then showed a hint of surprise: "Junior sister is actually still alive?"

Qi Ji said angrily: "What are you talking about!"

"Qi Ji." Demon Lord Qian Yuan glanced at the back of the hall indifferently. Only then did Qi Ji realize that she had just been so excited that she had forgotten to transmit the message and shouted directly. She quickly lowered her head and said no more.

This kind of ceremony is just a formality during wartime, not to mention that the atmosphere in the hall is so bad now, and Demon Lord Qianyuan is not willing to prolong it too long. After he told all the disciples of the Six Paths of Yama Sect, "From now on Venerable Huangquan will be the first successor," this rare and important event for the Six Paths of Yama Sect came to an end. However, no one cared about the sloppiness of this succession ceremony, because they wished it would end as soon as possible, and no one wanted to face such a depressing atmosphere.

"Yi Du, send a letter to the other orthodox demon sects and let them know about this matter."

Demon Lord Yidu sneered, turned around and left.

At this time, only Yun Qing and Demon Lord Qian Yuan were left in the main hall. Countless shadows of Yama Demons were watching the two masters and disciples around, and they could not dissipate for a long time.

"Okay, now all nine leaders have been selected. You can follow me to the Underworld Holy Meeting immediately." Demon Lord Qianyuan sighed.

From what he meant, it seemed that the Demon Saint had ordered that the Underworld Holy Meeting be held after all the sects had elected their first successors. Yun Qing remembered that after the last Underworld Holy Meeting, the Demonic Orthodoxy made the decision to enter the world and conquer the world. This summit meeting must also be a major event that can be recorded in history.

"Yes." Yun Qing nodded, and then asked, "I wonder what happened to the Huangquan Holy Association this time?"

Demon Lord Qianyuan said to her as he walked: "I don't know, the Demon Saint has just given the order. He probably already knows about your succession."

Yun Qing followed, a little behind, and then stated: "He doesn't want me to succeed."

Demon Lord Qianyuan gave her a strange look: "If the Lord Saint is not willing, then you will never be able to be the leader anyway. Since you have already taken this position, it means that he has acquiesced. In fact, they don't do anything. It’s hard to guess, whatever you can do, they approve of, and whatever you can’t do, they prohibit.”

The words of Demon Lord Qianyuan were completely different from Yun Qing's guess. She frowned and wanted to continue, but Demon Lord Qianyuan waved his hand to stop her: "Don't think too much, you don't have to think too much, just concentrate on your practice. That's right. The Saint will help us think clearly about whatever we are thinking about, and he will also help us pave the way for us to take. This is the meaning of his existence."

Yun Qing felt something was wrong with the tone of his words, but she didn't know what was wrong.

"Since the saints are heartless and ruthless, why are they the ones who scheme the most in the world?" Yun Qing asked the question that was pressing in her heart. She felt that Demon Lord Qianyuan might have seen a little bit of the nature of these saints.

Demon Lord Qianyuan smiled helplessly: "They are like that. Their own road has come to an end, and they can only try their best to make it easier for those behind. You are different from them. You still have a long road ahead of you, so concentrate on Walk along and don’t think too much. There are so many saints and gods who have paved the road with their bones. It’s unreasonable to be let down for another hundred thousand years.”

Yun Qing connected "saints and gods" with "one hundred thousand years" and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, the disappearance of Shinto was related to the secret of the saints, but he didn't know where the relationship was.

"I suspect that this Huangquan Holy Meeting is related to the Northern Expedition. You'd better be prepared." Demon Lord Qianyuan was a little disappointed, "You must have noticed it when you went to Beichuan Continent this time?"

Yun Qing nodded, and what she wanted to say when she came back this time was: "There are people in Lutian Temple wandering around Beichuan, and there are disciples in Moling who have entered the world. I think Humanity will take advantage of the change of dynasties to attack."

Both of them were very fast. In just a few words, they had reached the intersection of Wangchuan River and Jichuan River. Demon Lord Qianyuan did not go down, but replied: "And that side has been hidden by the gods for thousands of years." If the door is deterred, there must be another dispute between humanity and Shinto. The saint may want to seize this opportunity... "

He didn't say any more, but Yun Qing already understood what was going on.

Mo Ling escaped from the world a thousand years ago because of the Shenyin Sect, and his return to the world a thousand years later must be based on this cause and effect. When Yun Qing attacked Yue Rusuo, Le Shu actually arrived faster than Mo Ling himself. It can be seen that the Temple of Heaven, which is also a holy place for humanity, has also been arranged in Beichuan Continent. It has almost become a tradition for the two to join forces to deal with the immortals, so Yun Qing will not be surprised at all.

But for such a simple question, humanity and immortality can definitely be thought of. If they fight, they can't wait unprepared for the demonic way to come and make a profit. So where do the saints of the devil get the confidence to wander among them and seize their luck
