Lu Ping frowned and said, "Has this matter spread throughout the North Sea? There shouldn't be so many people who know about my fight with Martial Uncle Xuan Shu. "
Yao Yong nodded and said, "Martial Uncle Xuan Shu said it himself."
Noticing Lu Ping's confusion, Yao Yong continued, "Junior Martial Uncle Xuan Shu said that you've withstood his [Mystic Heavenly Lightning Attracting Art]. This is the Yi Wood Divine Lightning technique, one of the most powerful techniques in our sect. It's also the most difficult technique to cultivate. My teacher said that if Junior Martial Uncle Xuan Shu used his full strength, he would have no choice but to dodge. There's no reason for him to take it head on."
Lu Ping said snappily, "You also said that it was under Martial Uncle Xuan Shu's full strength. Do you think Martial Uncle Xuan Shu would use his' Mysterious Heaven Lightning Drawing Technique 'against me?"
Yao Yong shook his head in a daze and said, "That's naturally impossible. However, it was still Martial Uncle Xuan Shu who made a move. At their level of cultivation, even if they used the weakest great technique, it's not something we can receive. Hmm, no, it's not something we can receive either. But you've already received it."
Lu Ping was too lazy to explain. If he hadn't comprehended the Lotus Protective Dipper with his Natal Magic Treasure at the last moment and blocked Spiritual Master Xuan Shu's weakened 'Mysterious Heaven Lightning Drawing Technique', Spiritual Master Xuan Shu probably wouldn't have changed his mind and directly captured Yin Xuanchu and Ji Xuanxuan. Even if Spiritual Master Liu Xuanyuan arrived, the three of them wouldn't be Spiritual Master Xuan Shu's match. Moreover, with Spiritual Master Liu Xuanyuan's personality, he wouldn't make a move against Spiritual Master Xuan Shu.
What Lu Ping didn't understand now was why Spiritual Master Xuan Shu would say this. It must be known that this was not a glorious thing for Spiritual Master Xuan Shu. Moreover, to add such a great halo to Lu Ping's head, it might not be a good thing for Lu Ping.
"He's putting me on a fire to roast!"
Lu Ping didn't know why he thought of this sentence.
"Oh right, Uncle Master Xuan Shu has gone into seclusion. I heard that it's time for him to condense the third type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item and complete the Golden Dan."
"Oh?" Lu Ping asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"
Yao Yong said with uncertainty, "It should be not long after you were punished, right? It is said that Reverend Xuan Shu even asked for punishment because he did not complete the task assigned by the sect to capture Junior Brother Yin. He recommended Martial Uncle Xuan Chang to replace him as the person in charge of the sect's rules and discipline. "
"Martial Uncle Xuan Chang? Then who is the cultivator guarding Dikun Island now? "
Yao Yong chuckled and said, "Who else could it be? Dikun Island is a medium-sized island at the forefront of our sect's fight against the demon race. Now that Martial Uncle Tian Lin is once again guarding Huang Li Island to deter the demon race, compared to Huang Li Island, the small spirit mine on Xuan Qi Island no longer has any meaning for my master to guard it. This time, he might as well just guard Dikun Island. Right now, he's basically living in seclusion. He'll probably reach the Dharma stage within ten years."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Then I have to congratulate him. I've received a lot of care from Martial Uncle Qu, so when the time comes, I might as well give him a generous gift. With the addition of Laozu, our sect's position in the North Sea's cultivation world is becoming more and more stable. "
Yao Yong nodded in agreement and said, "You definitely have to give a generous gift. Although you're from the Chong Hua Manor, you're different from your senior sisters. The sect also intends for you to form your own faction, so when the time comes, you'll naturally have to participate in the Dharma Manifestation Assembly in the name of your own abode."
Lu Ping's expression didn't change, but his mind was racing. He maintained a smile on his face and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Yao Yong said mysteriously, "I'm afraid that Martial Uncle Guo will advance to the Dharma Manifestation Stage in the next two years. Martial Uncle Guo's level of cultivation is similar to my teacher's, but Martial Uncle Guo has accumulated more experience, so I'm afraid that he'll advance to the Dharma Manifestation Stage first. In that case, he'll have to give up his position as the sect's administrator. As for the new administrator position, I don't know what the few Laozu are thinking, but they say that they want Martial Uncle Tian Ling to take over the position again."
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about the reliability of Yao Yong's information. Then, he shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Our sect has never had a Dharma Laozu as the sect's administrator. Moreover, my teacher used to be the sect's administrator. How could he become Laozu now, and become an administrator again?"
Yao Yong laughed and said, "When I heard this news, I also thought that it was impossible, but the person who said this is my teacher. Do you think I should believe it or not?"
Lu Ping was silent for a while and said, "Why is it my teacher? Why is it Dharma Laozu?"
Yao Yong scratched his head and said, "How would I know? But when my teacher said it unintentionally, his face looked serious, but he also seemed to be looking forward to it."
Lu Ping sneered and said, "Then what's the reason for wanting me to form my own sect?"
Yao Yong still shook his head and said, "Don't ask me. You also know that I've always been unwilling to think about these messy things. But my teacher said that the sect's administrators never pass on the inheritance between cultivators of the same sect."
Lu Ping nodded thoughtfully, but he sneered at the first half of Yao Yong's words. Yao Yong's seemingly simple and honest appearance hid an extremely shrewd heart. Otherwise, Zhenren Qu Xuancheng would never have let him say these words, and Shi Lingling would not have been seduced by this guy.
Although he guessed that Zhenren Qu Xuancheng deliberately said this to him through Yao Yong, and he also guessed some things in his heart, he still could not see the whole picture.
After all, Lu Ping's current position was not high enough. Although he had been able to participate in some of the high-level affairs of the sect with his own efforts, the ones who could really decide the fate of the sect were the eight Dharma Phase Laozu and a few Zhenrens who had achieved the seventh grade or above Dharma Phase Stage.
Although Zhonghua and Xiaoyao belonged to two different sects, they were one family. There were more than ten third-generation disciples under the two Laozu who had reached the Core Forging Stage. The ten disciples of Zhonghua, including Jiang Xuanxuan, had all advanced to the Core Forging Stage, except for the eldest disciple and the fifth disciple who had died. Among them, there were four who had reached the middle stage of the Core Forging Stage. Although the Xiaoyao lineage was not as prosperous as the Zhonghua lineage, the six Core Forging Stage disciples made many second-generation disciples feel inferior.
How many Core Forging Stage cultivators were there in the whole of Zhenling?
The total number of third-generation disciples of the two sects accounted for almost one-tenth of all the Core Forging Stage cultivators in Zhenling. This was definitely a force that could affect or restrict the future of the sect.
To add fuel to the fire, what kind of monster was the ninth disciple of the Zhonghua lineage? He was surrounded by the elite force of the third-generation disciples of Zhenling. They had fought against the Demon Clan in the deep sea for more than ten years and had accumulated a large amount of wealth for Zhenling. With a cultivation of the middle stage of the Core Forging Stage, he was able to kill a Demon Cultivator in the late stage of the Core Forging Stage and fight against the most tyrannical second-generation disciples in the late stage of the Core Forging Stage. This person had too many halos.
The high-level cultivators of Zhenling thought carefully. From the top to the Dharma Phase Laozu, such as Tian Kang, Tian Ling, and Tian Lin; in the middle, Liang Xuanfeng, Qu Xuancheng, Guo Xuanshan, Xuan Sen, and the dead Li Xuanyin, not to mention the third-generation disciples. Almost all of the most elite people of Zhenling had more or less received help or assistance from this disciple at a very important moment.
They saw a kind of momentum in Lu Ping, a momentum that could sweep the whole sect when the conditions were ripe!
With this kind of hidden momentum, how should Zhenling deal with it?
Lu Ping didn't know what kind of game and balance the sect had gone through, but he knew that under the rising momentum of Zhenling, no one would do something that would hurt their own people and make their enemies happy. However, this didn't mean that no one would plot against them. Even when it came to dealing with Yin Xuan, the sect had made two preparations. On the surface, they captured him to show the sects of the North Sea, and in the dark, they had Reverend Liu Xuanyuan to inform them. Even at the last moment, Reverend Xuan Shu didn't kill Lu Ping.
Facing Reverend Xuan Shu head-on, what an awe-inspiring strength!
In fact, this was called praising to death!
There were too many halos on Lu Ping, so many that some people had no choice but to take some measures, even if it was just in case.
Reverend Xuan Shu withdrew and went into closed-door training, leaving Lu Ping to face the consequences of the game between the sect's higher-ups.
Tian Ling Laozu regained the position of Zhenling's deacon, but it broke the whole sect's inheritance system. Deacons in the late stage of Core Forging were housekeepers, and the decision making power of the sect was never in the hands of the deacons. However, Fa Xiang Laozu became a deacon, who would still dare to think that she was a housekeeper?
This was a sect master who wasn't the sect master!
He wanted Lu Ping to set up another faction outside of Chong Hua Manor. He wanted to separate the most potential inheritors from Chong Hua Manor and Xiao Yao Manor, weakening the combined strength of the two factions. At the very least, he wanted to weaken the strength of the two factions in the future. Perhaps, this was the compromise condition for Tian Ling Grand Ancestor to return to the sect.
Nowadays, it was an indisputable fact that Chong Hua Manor and Xiao Yao Manor were strong in Zhenling. Whether or not Lu Ping established a separate faction would not have any impact on the rise of the two factions, because Lu Ping had always been Liu Tianling's disciple, and he was indebted to Tian Ling's Laozu.
However, hundreds of years later, when Lu Ping's disciples began to walk on the stage of Zhenling, it was hard to say what the disciples of Lu Ping's faction, or the disciples of Xiao Yao Manor, would think.
In fact, the reason was very simple. Lu Ping respected Tian Ling Laozu very much, but he didn't have much friendship with the disciples of Xiao Yao Manor.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping was horrified. Could it be that when Teacher and Grandmaster fell out and reopened Chong Hua Manor, it was also the result of this?
However, what did Master Qu Xuancheng mean when he said, "The sect's deacons never pass on to the cultivators of the same faction"? What was he hinting at?
The position of Zhenling's deacon was a position that was held by turns. It was to prevent one faction from becoming dominant. If Tian Ling Laozu became the deacon, then after Tian Ling Laozu retired, the disciples of Chong Hua Manor and Xiao Yao Manor could not continue to take over this position. They could only wait for the next opportunity.
But what if Lu Ping was not in Chong Hua Manor?
Lu Ping smiled. Although he didn't have the idea of getting involved in the deacon position, sometimes he really had no choice. When some people close to him needed his protection, what choice did he have?
It was just that this kind of fate that was not in his control and arranged by others made Lu Ping very unhappy!
Although the person who arranged this path for him might have good intentions, or maybe it was out of love, or maybe it was out of expectation, Lu Ping felt that at least he had to be willing!
