When the moon sank into the River of Forgetfulness and the dawn light illuminated the River of Forgetfulness, the eight suzerains were already waiting in the Temple of the Underworld.
The Underworld Holy Meeting this time is a little different from the previous ones. The invitations were sent by people from the Six Paths Yama Sect, and there were familiar and unfamiliar magic patterns painted on the signature. That pattern was exactly the same as the magic pattern in the center of the Netherworld Temple, which made the suzerains accept the invitation almost without hesitation.
This Netherworld Saint Meeting may be called a turning point in history by later generations - after a lapse of a hundred thousand years, the Demon Dao once again ushered in a leader named "Huangquan".
"My gentlemen..."
A spiral stream of water fell from the center of the Netherworld Temple, and a soft call came from the sound of the dripping water. A girl wearing a black Taoist robe came out from the water curtain. This Taoist robe looked quite old-fashioned, and the back hem was dragged to the ground, completely covering her mutilated legs. Behind her was a very tall and strong man. This man was a circle larger than everyone present. Although he had a handsome face, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked naive and silly.
"How are you guys doing lately?"
The beginning is always the same old-fashioned way, and the suzerains smoothly expressed that everything is fine recently, and there is no need for Huang Quan to worry about it. Further down, Huang Quan should have proposed the main theme of this holy meeting, but there are always surprises in everything.
"For the matter of sending Fellow Daoist Yuan... please give me your condolences." The person who spoke was covered in black smoke, but Yun Qing could tell who she was.
Yun Qing's expression was still peaceful and quiet: "The Venerable Qianyuan has demonstrated the Tao with his own body, and he has glimpsed into the ultimate realm. There is nothing to regret. We, the living, naturally do not need to mourn."
"Hey, the venerable is still open to it." Mei Guang sighed, "I always feel that there are fewer people in this Netherworld Saint Association than in the past, so I can't get used to it."
The person who spoke was Huatian Desire Demon Zong Meiguang, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or sudden when she mentioned the matter of sending Yuan Demon Lord.
The previous battle at the Peak of Duanbi was held by the sages of the demonic way to determine the leader of the demonic way and eliminate the weak sects. For Qianyuan, this was not a life-and-death struggle, but he resolutely chose to die in order to fight for this opportunity for Liudao Yan Mozong. After his martyrdom, the Six Paths Yan Mozong was inherited by Yun Qing, and the Wuxu Demon Realm was led by the Six Paths Yan Mozong. It can be said that he used his life to send Yun Qing to his current position.
Mei Guang suddenly brought up this matter at this time, somewhat vigilant. She was hinting to Yun Qing that now she can speak eloquently in front of the eight giants of the Wudao Demon Realm not because of her outstanding talents, but because Qian Yuan took her life to change her position, that's all. She spoke with enough care that it was hard to tell whether it was mostly good or bad.
Yun Qing looked at her for a while, but did not answer.
Because someone has already answered for her: "Fellow Daoist Qianyuan has been diligent and rigorous all his life, with a restrained edge, he is a model for my generation. Now that the deceased has passed away, please don't say too much, Fellow Daoist Meiguang."
Of course, Mei Guang would not find fault with Yun Qing anymore, she nodded, and walked down the steps Zhu Shu gave her: "What fellow Taoist Zhu Shu said is true."
Seeing that they were almost done talking, Yun Qing said, "Okay, now that we've finished talking about the dead, let's talk about the living. The battle at Duanbi Peak has seen the outcome, and the saint and I have also discussed this matter. matter, but so far no conclusion has been reached, what do you guys think about this battle?"
All of them looked very solemn, they understood that the time to decide the fate of several major sects was coming.
Right now, the relationship between Venerable Huang Quan and the Demonic Saint is still very harmonious. Before Yunqing returned to the sect, the Demonic Saint began to prepare for the battle at Duanbi Peak. . The division of labor between the two is also very clear. During the war, the sage of the demonic way will stand by himself, and after the war, Huang Quan will call everyone to discuss the result, and they will not interfere with each other or affect each other.
Now that Yun Qing raised the issue directly in front of everyone, most of the suzerains could see the difference between her and the sage of the demonic way—she was able to do such things as blatantly and reasonably.
Who goes and who stays? It's just a very simple question, but it's enough to detonate the old grievances hidden under the surface of the nine sects.
The Netherworld Temple was quiet for a long time, and the first person to speak was Yixin Mozun of the Deceitful Heart Demon Sect. He asked with a smile, "I don't know what advice does the venerable have?"
Zhu Shu also echoed loudly: "Yes, since Your Majesty has already discussed with Lord Sage, why don't you share your opinions."
Yun Qing didn't mind the tone of the two of them either, she nodded: "Is there any objection to respecting the Six Paths Yan Mozong?"
Mei Guang was startled, thinking that Huang Quan is so straightforward that people don't know how to respond...
"Naturally." Zhu Shu replied heartily, and the rest quickly expressed no objection.
Yun Qing nodded a little bored, and continued: "Then how about remerging the two sects of the Purifying Water Cold Demon Sect and the Yehuo Yan Demon Sect, harmonizing the orthodoxy, and re-establishing the Yin-Yang Lili Demon Sect?"
The other suzerains couldn't answer this question, so Yun Qing turned her attention directly to the two suzerains of the Qingshui Cold Demon Sect and the Yehuo Yan Demon Sect. These two sects were originally split from the Yin-Yangli Demon Sect. Later, the conflict between the Yin and Yang Meridians intensified, so they simply separated. Now, after more than 100,000 years, it is not easy to reunite.
"... My sect has no objection." The head of the Qingshui Cold Demon Sect replied, he was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. I don't know if it's because Yun Qing's proposal brought too much pressure on him or the inheritance he cultivated is just like that, his face looks extraordinarily pale.
Yun Qing's gaze turned to the Sect Master of the Karma Fire Demon Sect, who was about the same age as the Sect Master of the Clear Water Cold Demon Sect, with a square face and burning red hair.
He looked at Yun Qing seriously, without flinching: "I don't know if the position of suzerain...the venerable has a choice?"
"If you don't establish a suzerain, the two of you are in charge of the yin and yang meridians respectively as before. From now on, the elders of the sect will be re-selected, and the affairs of the sect are generally decided by the elders."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Huang Quan didn't randomly send someone to take charge of the Yin-Yangli Demon Sect. Now these two sects are said to be merging, but in fact it is more like sharing a mountain gate, and the practice of both sides is basically the same.
Yun Qing frowned and said, "What are you doing in a daze? You can go to Yishan now."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness."
They left from the water curtain, and the remaining six suzerains were also wondering who would be next.
"Vientiane Calamity Demon Sect, Beimang Corpse Demon Sect..." Yun Qing's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, "Except for Water Purification Cold Demon Sect and Ye Huo Yan Demon Sect, your two sects are less powerful."
Both of them were quite calm and didn't say much, just waiting for Yun Qing to give a countermeasure.
"The method of merging is of no use to you." Yun Qing thought for a while, "If we really drive you out, it won't be..."
These words have determined the way out for the two sects. They can stay in this realm without delusional demons, but they need to pay a certain price.
Yun Qing didn't seem to come to any good conclusions, so he said directly: "Do you have anything to say?"
silence.
Yun Qing seemed to sigh, and she said to the silent suzerains: "Recently, the saints have found out that our Wuxu Demon Realm is also affected by the changes in the world. Although the weakness of the heaven and earth spiritual energy is not obvious, but the demon realm There are fewer and fewer mortals with spiritual intelligence in the center."
Still silent.
"There are two choices now, either to expand the area covered by the mortal tribe, or to reduce the number of new generation disciples." Yun Qing was not too embarrassed to see that they did not speak, she continued on her own, "Whether it is with Either way, we must weaken the peripheral forces of the nine major sects, so as to ensure that the core strength remains as strong as before."
"My sect voluntarily withdraws from the Realm of Immortality."
Venerable Yixin's voice was a little relaxed, but as soon as he said this, the expressions of the others changed.
Yun Qing couldn't help but look at him sideways: "The strength of the Deceitful Demon Sect is not bad, it's not your turn to leave here."
"It's our fault for making it difficult for His Majesty to make a choice." Venerable Yixin stroked his goatee. He smiled gently, but looked at Yun Qing with a knife-like look in his eyes. Fellow Daoist Zong has taken care of me a lot, and Yixin is so grateful that I can't express it in words. It is not easy for the nine major sects to support each other so far. How embarrassing are you? How embarrassing are the martyrs who worked together to defend against foreign enemies?"
There is no doubt that every word in this sentence is accusing Yun Qing of attempting to split the Nine Sects on the grounds of maintaining the orthodoxy of the magic way.
"My sect is willing to withdraw from the realm of innocence." Venerable Yixin bowed deeply to Yunqing, and said loudly, "I also hope that all the lords who stay here can be blessed by the Lord of the Underworld, escape this catastrophe, and live forever Look, the way is constant!"
These words ridiculed the rest of the suzerains who succumbed to the demon saints and Yun Qing, but all those present were very good at nourishing qi, and they were able to reply without hindrance: "Thank you for your good words, fellow daoist."
Yun Qing looked at him indifferently, and replied calmly: "It's up to you."
Venerable Yixin walked towards the water curtain calmly, and the elderly figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Then that's the end of the battle at Duanbi Peak." Yun Qing changed the subject smoothly, "There is still something to discuss with a few of you."
The Sect Master of the Vientiane Calamity Demon Sect and the Sect Master of the Beimang Corpse Demon Sect looked at each other. They did not expect that they would stay in the Wuwang Demon Realm in such a dramatic way.
Zhu Shu looked away from the water curtain, cleared his throat and said, "I don't know what else the venerable can order?"
"About clearing up the loose cultivators in the South China Sea." Yun Qing folded his hands into his sleeves, closed his eyes safely and said, "In order to deal with the next catastrophe, the sages of the demonic way will try to expand the realm of no delusion in the South China Sea. Before that, we need Clear up all the loose cultivators in the South China Sea."
Yun Qing asked gently: "Do you have any objections?"
Mei Guang suddenly thought of a very bad question, probably everyone thought of this question, but no one dared to ask it.
The Deceitful Mind Demon Sect has just exited the Realm of Invincible Demons, and there is only one place they can go to, the South China Sea.
