As soon as Elder Zhang finished speaking, Luo Zhifeng was welcomed in.
Elder Zhang took a closer look. The young man with a high ponytail who walked in had a very comfortable and innocent smile on his face. He had a sword on his waist and a storage bag made in the shape of a jade pendant. He was so carefree. It acts as the spike of the spiritual sword.
After noticing Elder Zhang's gaze, the young man's smile faded and he clenched his fingers warily.
There is indeed a sword cultivator in front of me, and a young sword cultivator at that! Elder Zhang's eyes wandered around the young man wantonly - he was sure that this was definitely not some old immortal monk pretending to be.
However, he confirmed the young man's identity, but he didn't find this "Mo Shang's" smile good-looking at all. On the contrary, Elder Zhang always felt that it was very annoying when he looked at the young man's smile.
He is a demon cultivator, a demon cultivator who has gone through such a painful process of being infiltrated by demonic energy! How could he show such a pure and dazzling smile
Just like a righteous monk!
He didn't look like a demon cultivator at all... Elder Zhang looked at him critically, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes became more and more obvious, and there was a little more mockery in his eyes.
Just when Elder Zhang had a bad feeling for the young man, he observed the spiritual power lingering in the young man. It was as fragile as glass that could break when dropped, and as thin as a piece of paper. Under this poor disguise of spiritual power, murderous and bloody demonic energy surged.
At this moment, Elder Zhang almost instantly lost his dissatisfaction with Luo Zhifeng.
He concluded that the smile on Luo Zhifeng's face and his righteous face were simply a form of self-deception because he could not bear the fact that he was possessed. He is not a strong and determined monk, but a poor man who even deceived himself!
Once someone exposes his disguise, his sword heart will be completely shattered. Crazy, crazy, his cultivation plummeted... He became a puppet controlled by the evil spirit.
The cultivation level shown by the young man is probably just the cultivation level before he became a demon. In reality, he is just a showman, a skin that can be broken by a poke, and there is no need to be afraid at all!
Who else is more suitable than him to be the puppet "sect leader" supported by the elders of the Demon Sect
there is none left!
Thinking of this, Elder Zhang knew how to deal with it, and Luo Zhifeng's smile, which he had previously disliked, seemed to be a little more pleasing to his eyes.
Isn't it just a game of house pretending to be a righteous monk
It's too simple. Just follow his words and cater to them, and they can gain a puppet. A sure-profit trade.
"Are you Brother Mo Shang? I have admired you for a long time -" Elder Zhang said with a smile.
Luo Zhifeng gave him a "suspicious" look: "What do the people from the Demon Sect want from me? I don't associate with people like Lu... Lu Zhiling!"
He paused when he mentioned Lu Zhiling's name, and then the word Zhiling seemed to come alive from between his teeth.
Hiss... Elder Zhang's eyelids twitched when he saw it. He saw with his own eyes that Luo Zhifeng bit the tip of his tongue and it seemed to draw blood. The sweet blood fell to the corners of his lips, dyeing his pale lips red.
This handsome young man's black eyes were gleaming with scarlet red, adding a demon-like eerieness.
He was even more certain that this was a madman in disguise, and Lu Zhiling was definitely the key to controlling this madman.
"How could it be?" Elder Zhang denied, "The Xuanwu Sect where Lu Zhiling belongs does all kinds of evil and has turned the demonic world upside down. As members of the Demonic Sect who hunt down and take over the remnants of the Xuanwu Sect, how can we possibly end up with Lu Zhiling?" Human beings are in league with evil spirits?!”
"Is that so?" Luo Zhifeng tapped his cheek with his finger in confusion.
"Of course!" Elder Zhang replied resolutely, "We fellow monks of the Demon Sect have always supported each other and maintained friendship as before."
Luo Zhifeng listened to his nonsense and automatically translated support and friendship into - the high-level monks of their Demon Sect forced the low-level monks into a furnace, harvesting, devouring, and supporting each other.
He was so friendly that after squeezing out the cultivation and essence of these fellow monks, he did not forget to refine the monks' human bodies and spiritual consciousness into blood pills and puppets, so that they would always be with him in life and death.
Sure enough, we have a deep love for each other.
Elder Zhang answered very smoothly. He was just changing the concept secretly, but he had never told a lie, so he naturally had no guilty conscience.
It is impossible for "Mo Shang" to see the clues. When he ascends to the position of puppet leader, he will not have the opportunity to find out whether a sentence is true or false.
However, Elder Zhang would not have expected that the person he was facing was not only Mo Shang, but also Lu Zhiling. The private affairs of their sect, which relied on every effort to improve their cultivation, were spread out in front of Luo Zhifeng's eyes almost like a flat surface.
Elder Zhang didn't notice either. Luo Zhifeng's black eyes were staring at him without blinking. He seemed to be smiling, but in fact, there was ice and silence inside.
He was extremely calm and indifferent, looking down at Elder Zhang from top to bottom. There was a slight chill on Elder Zhang's neck, but when he raised his head, the chill disappeared.
"Friendship is as good as ever, friendship as ever..."
In front of Elder Zhang, Luo Zhifeng repeated the word several times, speaking faster and faster, and he felt a bit desolate when he read it at the end.
"… very nice."
His ethereal voice made Elder Zhang secretly click his tongue, wondering what he was talking about.
Then, after Luo Zhifeng had been "crazy" for a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Purchase and capture the remnants of the Xuanwu Sect—? What does this mean?"
"As you might think," Elder Zhang smiled, "Lu Zhiling of the Xuanwu Sect was shot down by us above the Linghai Sea, and he narrowly escaped death. After his disappearance, the Xuanwu Sect lost its backbone and began to flee in all directions."
He noticed that Luo Zhifeng's eyes were slightly red, and struck while the iron was hot: "But! Xuanwu Sect has always been one of the important pillars of the Demonic Dao, and is a key existence in negotiating with the True Dao Sect and making them fear it. We don’t want to become eternal sinners and unbalance the demonic path, so several demon sects are preparing to gather together to take care of the Xuanwu Sect. We lack a suitable sect leader, so we turned to you—"
"I?"
Luo Zhifeng lowered his head, and his voice sounded like he was choking.
Maybe he was too excited... Elder Zhang ignored the slight uneasiness rising from the bottom of his heart and praised Luo Zhifeng to the top with bright eyes:
"Yes, it's you! You have never joined any sect, you can distinguish good from evil, right from wrong, and you will never eat human flesh and blood and be bloodthirsty and crazy like Lu Zhiling's fellow! You... are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for sect master! I beg you , became the temporary head of the Xuanwu Sect—"
Elder Zhang's eyes were shining brightly, and behind this joy, there was endless greed.
"… as you wish."
Luo Zhifeng said: "But I can only use a sword and can't take care of the sect. Doesn't it matter?"
"Of course not, we can do it for you with full authority." Elder Zhang said with a happy smile.
Elder Zhang was so confident in his lobbying that he would never watch the scene recorded by the photo ball placed in his room—
The moment he turned his head, the gentle and harmless young man lowered his head and murmured on his lips: "Lu Zhiling, is he dead? How dare you...?"
His sword buzzed and was about to be unsheathed, killing Elder Zhang from behind. The young man's voice was low, with complex emotions flowing in his eyes: "Senior brother... I am the only one who can kill you. Who are they?!"
This is the drama designed by Luo Zhifeng for "Mo Shang" and "Lu Zhiling". Mo Shang is a righteous cultivator, and Lu Zhiling is a demonic cultivator. They came from the same sect and were once brothers who loved each other.
Their master has a bohemian character, like a righteous and evil monk. Sometimes he looks like a lonely and cold swordsman, and sometimes he has a wanton and frivolous look on his face. He likes to sneak into the mortal brothels, put on "oiran" clothes, drink sake, and stay drunk for half the night -
Until one day, foreign enemies attacked. Lu Zhiling was invaded by demonic energy, and the "master" was seriously injured. At the last moment, the master chose to let Lu Zhiling kill him, leading him to completely fall into the devil's way.
Mo Shang happened to witness all this. He was in pain and full of hatred, but his dying master asked him not to let his senior brother be killed.
So, Mo Shang gently stroked the hilt of the sword and made a promise - Senior brother, only I can kill you.
Others... are not qualified.
His vitality was seriously injured and he had been cultivating for a long time. After recovering, he immediately went out to look for traces of Lu Zhiling and disguised himself as a demon cultivator.
Not long after he "came out", Mo Shang was approached by Elder Zhang, who informed Lu Zhiling of his "death" and hoped that he would temporarily take over the position of sect leader.
Mo Shang had a grudge against Lu Zhiling, and he couldn't let go of the friendship between his former brothers. The two contradictory feelings collided with each other, and finally he decided to comply with Elder Zhang's request.
… He wants to find the person who killed his senior brother.
So, this is the situation now. Elder Zhang walked in front happily, but little did he know that he had died thousands of times under the gaze of "Mo Shang".
—You are not qualified, senior brother.
"Mo Shang" thought like this, with a murderous intent bursting out of his eyes.
"Xuanwu Sect has a new sect leader?!"
Soon, the news spread throughout the demonic world.
At that time, the demon cultivator who was mercilessly spared by Mo Shang in Scarlet Blood Sect, after being shocked that Xuanwu Sect had a new master so quickly, his eyes widened when he heard what his fellow sect said: "What, the sect master wants me to Go to the new master of Xuanwu Sect to show our sincerity?!"
"No," Yu Shi said, "The one in charge of the Xuanwu Sect is a puppet, right? He has no real power at all. He is just a target pushed out by the dozens of demon sects fighting openly and secretly...? Why do you need to send someone there?"
His fellow disciple lowered his voice and said: "The sect leader knows more about the inside story. In fact, he asked you to go there for the sake of the Scarlet Blood Sect's decision and alignment in the future. The sect master believed that Lu Zhiling had subordinates secretly, and even if he died, he would be enough to support him. There is such a big Xuanwu Sect. He wants you to explore whether it is better for the Demon Sect Alliance to be reliable or to join the remnants of the Xuanwu Sect—"
"That shouldn't be me!!" Yu Shi exclaimed. He was only a middle-level demon cultivator within the sect. How could He De gain such great trust from the sect
The demon cultivator said: "You are the most suitable candidate... You also know the new sect leader of Xuanwu Sect, Mo Shang, didn't he kill you that day? No, the sect leader thinks you are the best candidate."
Yu Shi: "????"
Mo Shang, damn that Mo Shang—? The Mo Shang who almost killed him
Yu Shi recalled Mo Shang's obscure expression at that time, and always felt that his attitude towards Lu Zhiling was very strange. It's not like pure hatred, it seems to be mixed with other difficult emotions.
Also, the puppet sect leader - are all those demon sects a bunch of fools? ! How dare they use Mo Shang as a puppet...
Yu Shi was shocked. He dared to guarantee that Mo Shang was very difficult to deal with! He doesn't want to do it! !
Seeing his resisting expression, his fellow disciples said, "You have to do it even if you don't want to do it. This is an order from the sect master. An order, do you understand?"
On the other side, Lu Zhiling's subordinate, Lin Xuan, who temporarily took over the overall situation after Lu Ya left, was silent for a while and said: "They promoted a puppet sect leader in Xuanwu Sect."
Pairs of black and red eyes opened at the same time, with suppressed anger, they gritted their teeth and said: "They dare too!"
"Sir, should we take action immediately and kill that puppet?!"
Lin Xuan pondered for a while and said: "It's better to wait and see what happens. This is the Lord's order."
He was looking forward to the arrangement that the Lord said he had planned -
The author has something to say: Elder Zhang: This is a madman with no power!
Lin Xuan: The Lord must have some arrangements.
Yu Shi: I think there’s something else hidden!
—So, they all come up with weird (?) things.
Due to various special reasons, Huandan next door is temporarily unable to post, I am very sorry qwq
