Under the Time Sword, Yin Min, who had just become a ghost infant, turned to dust. All of the power of the ghost infant was absorbed by the Time Sword.
The ghost infant was an eleventh-level yuanying. Even though it walked the path of the ghost path, its intelligence and power were unquestionable. Even better, Yin Min had used an outside force to transform the ghost infant, but had not had time to merge with her acquired consciousness.
This ghost infant had the power of a yuanying, but did not have any soul consciousness. After being absorbed by the Time Sword, the ghost infant naturally merged with the Time Sword and became a pure sword spirit.
The sword spirit did not just have intelligence, it also provided the Time Sword with powerful and pure energy. Unfortunately, the Time Sword was not a ghost path talisman. In the end, it could only absorb the purest source energy of the ghost infant, and could only discard the majority of the ghost path energy.
However, the spirit inside the sword was enough to push the Time Sword to the tenth-level.
From the ninth level to the tenth level, the Time Sword had increased by one level, but the inside had completely changed. The speed of the sword had tripled, and became more agile. The connection with Gao Zhengyang had deepened.
The biggest change was that the Time Sword was sharper. If it wanted to kill a jindan, it would be fine. Without a powerful defensive talisman, no jindan would be able to receive a blow.
As for yuanying, that was hard to say.
However, with the speed of the Time Sword, normal yuanying would be left behind in an instant. Gao Zhengyang's consciousness could now control the Time Sword from five hundred li away.
This was mainly because the Time Sword had a sword spirit that could resonate with Gao Zhengyang's consciousness. Other yuanying sword xiu might not have such a reaction.
The consciousness of a yuanying sword xiu was strong, and it was not hard for them to release a flying sword thousands of li away. But it was not easy to control a flying sword from a long distance.
Flying swords did not have eyes, and completely relied on the xiuzhe's consciousness to control them. Xiuzhe could merge with the flying and shen swords, but that method of sensing had many limitations.
Under normal circumstances, no one would control a flying sword like this.
At this step, the Time Sword barely qualified to be called a shen sword.
Gao Zhengyang's consciousness moved as he controlled the Time Sword to circle around the city. He did not find anything that he had missed.
Gao Zhengyang flew into the sky on his sword, and instantly turned into a sword light that disappeared.
The faintly discernible sword light circulated between the clouds, indistinct and illusory.
Gao Zhengyang set off from the market and arrived at Spiritual Pearl City in less than two hours. Gao Zhengyang came and went without a trace. No one even knew that he had gone to Ji City.
The people in the market town were all dead again, and no one sent any news. It wasn't until the third day that news of the city's destruction spread.
This news also shocked the Ghost Prison Island.
Even the Spirit Pearl Dao College was shocked. Many of the Hall Masters looked at Gao Zhengyang with reverence in their eyes.
Although there was no evidence, Gao Zhengyang had just said that he would destroy the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and the Heavenly Ghost Sect had already been annihilated. Even Chen Ting and his son, who had gone to issue the challenge, were dead. If this was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
Many of the Hall Masters would rather believe that Gao Zhengyang had done this. This was more logical and simpler.
No matter what these Hall Masters guessed in private, no one dared to ask Gao Zhengyang about it. Everyone was just discussing in private.
However, not everyone was afraid of Gao Zhengyang.
Mystic Shi, Mystic Leaf, and Mystic Guo went to look for Gao Zhengyang together.
Mystic Shi did not stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Junior Brother Xuan Yang, did you destroy the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"
"Yes."
Gao Zhengyang did not hide it. There was no need for him to hide it. He paused and said, "Strictly speaking, I only killed two Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The others were killed by Yin Min. "
"You really did it!"
Mystic Shi was only guessing, but he was not sure.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect had millions of ghosts in the market town and two Golden Core cultivators. They were extremely powerful. Logically speaking, Gao Zhengyang was only a rank-nine cultivator, so he was not qualified to destroy the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
However, after seeing Gao Zhengyang's abilities, Mystic Shi and the others felt that Gao Zhengyang might be able to do it. Besides, he was the only one who had the intention to do so.
Even if the other experts of Ghost Prison Island had the ability to destroy the Heavenly Ghost Sect, they would not do it casually.
Hearing Gao Zhengyang admit it, Mystic Shi and the others were even more confused. Even Mystic Leaf could not help but ask, "How did you do it?"
When the Heavenly Ghost Sect was still there, they had to respect their strength and could not act rashly. But since the Heavenly Ghost Sect had been destroyed, everyone was more concerned about how Gao Zhengyang had done it.
"I'll go kill Huang Zhiyuan first. Well, he insisted on disobeying me, so I killed him. "
Gao Zhengyang explained. Although it was a bit hypocritical, this was how a sect should be. There must be a reason for doing things.
"The other Golden Core cultivator, Yin Min, felt that things were not going well, so she activated the array crazily and killed everyone to cultivate evil arts. At the critical moment, I killed Yin Min with a sword. I ended the battle. "
Gao Zhengyang's description of the process was very clear, but it was also very concise. They were so concise that Mystic Guo and the others were very dissatisfied.
However, since Gao Zhengyang was unwilling to explain in detail, there was nothing they could do.
Mystic Shi sighed. "Junior Brother Xuan Yang is really impressive. I was too muddle-headed. I shouldn't have interfered with your decision … "
Mystic Shi did not like the Heavenly Ghost Sect, nor did he like the Wind Lightning Sect and all the other sects. He tolerated it because the Spirit Pearl Dao Academy was not powerful enough, and the sect had no intention of sending more people.
Under such circumstances, he naturally had to try his best to tolerate and retreat.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect was the closest to the Spirit Pearl City, and their attitude was the most unyielding. They also had the most conflicts with the Dao Academy. Mystic Shi was rather delighted that the Heavenly Ghost Sect had been destroyed.
It would be best if this group of half-human, half-ghost fellows died. As for the millions of people who died in the city, that was nothing.
Not to mention Mystic Shi, no one even cared about the Mystic Fruits and Mystic Leaves.
In this world, the lives of mortals were as cheap as ants. Cultivators could not even take care of their own cultivation, so who would care about mortals?
Mystic Shi said, "The destruction of the Heavenly Ghost Sect is very satisfying. However, it will also cause the other sects to feel uneasy. The sects might strengthen their alliance. Junior Brother, don't be careless. "
The destruction of the Heavenly Ghost Sect would definitely arouse the vigilance of the other sects. However, Mystic Shi felt that the other sects did not have the guts to make a move.
Especially the Wind Lightning Sect, a small local sect. If not for the support of the Cloud Light Sect and the Iron Armor Sect, they would not dare to go against the Heart Sword Sect.
However, the Cloud Light Sect and the Iron Armor Sect could not be underestimated. The strength of these two sects was not inferior to the Heart Sword Sect. If they wanted to play hard, the situation would be hard to say.
Mystic Shi felt that Gao Zhengyang still had to be vigilant and not be careless.
Xuan Guo analyzed and said, "The leader of the Cloud Light Sect on Ghost Prison Island is Yun Feng. He is very powerful and scheming. You really have to be careful of him. "
Xuan Guo knew Yun Feng. She felt that although his cultivation level was only at the Golden Core stage, his thoughts were unpredictable and it would be difficult to fight him.
"The Cloud Light Sect is the same as the Iron Armor Sect. They will not fall out with each other personally. Even if they have any ideas, they will only test us through the Wind Lightning Sect … "
Xuan Shi had stayed on Ghost Prison Island for dozens of years and was familiar with the situation of the Cloud Light Sect and the Iron Armor Sect.
"If the Wind Lightning Sect doesn't come find me, I will go find them." Gao Zhengyang said.
Xuan Shi solemnly reminded, "The Wind Lightning Sect is different from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. It is said that they are a branch of a large sect. The Wind Lightning Method they cultivate is very powerful. Especially their Wind Lightning Flag. It is very magical. With one flag, they can fight against Yuanying. "
The Wind Lightning Sect was called the Wind Lightning Sect because of this Wind Lightning Flag. It was also because of the power of the Wind Lightning Flag that the Wind Lightning Sect could stand on Ghost Prison Island.
The Wind Lightning Flag was very powerful. Just the Wind Lightning Flag itself could fight against Yuanying. Although this was just a legend, all the xiuzhe on Ghost Prison Island thought that the Wind Lightning Flag was the number one Divine Weapon of Ghost Prison Island.
Every time the Wind Lightning Flag was used, the wind howled and thunder roared.
The Wind Lightning Flag had shown its power after killing the great beasts of the Ghost Prison Sea several times.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect relied on their believers to firmly occupy their territory, while the Wind Lightning Sect relied on their own combat power.
Xuan Shi continued, "The Sect Master of the Wind Lightning Sect, Li Mu, is more tactful and won't do anything rash. But if you push him too hard, it'll be hard to say. "
Xuan Shi was a bit worried about Gao Zhengyang. He was afraid that he would kill the Wind Lightning Sect because he thought he was invincible.
At least, there would be a reason to kill the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The Cloud Light Sect and the Iron Armor Sect wouldn't attack the Wind Lightning Sect for no reason. Besides, the Wind Lightning Sect might not be able to do so.
If something happened to Gao Zhengyang, it would be a loss.
For the Heart Sword Sect, it would be enough as long as they could protect Spirit Pearl City. Although Ghost Prison Island was large, there weren't many resources. The other places were occupied by sects, so there was no need to make a big fuss about it.
As for dominating Ghost Prison Island, there were no benefits.
If the Heart Sword Sect really wanted to do that, it was possible. Gao Zhengyang wouldn't be able to do it.
Xuan Shi was trying his best to explain the situation of Ghost Prison Island to Gao Zhengyang, hoping that he could be more stable now.
Gao Zhengyang waited patiently for Xuan Shi to finish before saying, "I'm not going to attack the Wind Lightning Sect, I'm just inviting them to participate in the sword conference."
"Sword conference?"
Xuan Shi asked in puzzlement, "What do you want to do?"
"To give everyone a chance to interact and deepen friendship."
Gao Zhengyang said, "Everyone can sit down and talk. If they can't agree, they can fight. This way, the weak will know what to do. This is better than a sect war. Right? "
Xuan Guo nodded in agreement. "This idea is good. We can communicate and spar. We can avoid many conflicts. "
A sword conference was naturally nothing new. The East Sea Sword Conference was the most famous event in the East Sea.
But a small sect like Ghost Prison Island didn't qualify to receive an invitation to the East Sea Sword Conference. It was a good thing that Gao Zhengyang wanted to hold a small sword conference to make it easier for the xiuzhe of Ghost Prison Island to interact.
Xuan Guo, Xuan Shi, and Xuan Ye also expressed their support.
Xuan Ye couldn't help but sigh. "In another two years, it will be the East Sea Sword Conference. If Xuan Yang Shidi can participate, he definitely has a chance to become the Sword Chief of the East Sea. "
Gao Zhengyang was able to easily kill jindan. His strength was definitely at the top of the younger generation. It was a pity that Gao Zhengyang had been sent here, and might not have the chance to attend the East Sea Sword Conference.
There were spots to attend the Sword Conference, and the spots were very valuable. Heart Sword Sect was a large sect. During each Sword Conference, everyone would use all methods to fight for a spot.
The Sword Conference was held once every sixty years. If one missed this conference, there was almost no chance to attend the next one.
The age threshold of three hundred years was very high. But for xiuzhe, there were only one or two times that were suitable to attend the conference.
Xuan Ye had not gone to the Sword Conference in the past, and had not been able to make it. The genius from back then had fallen to the current hooligan.
So whenever they talked about the Sword Conference, Xuan Ye was full of regret.
Xuan Guo had attended, but with Gao Zhengyang's present state, it was not convenient for her to talk about the Sword Conference.
The group simply discussed the matters of the Sword Conference for a while before dispersing.
After Xuan Guo and the others left, Gao Zhengyang found the hall master of the Law Sword Hall, Bai Huan, to have him deliver a letter to the sect master of the Wind Lightning Sect.
Bai Huan was called in alone by Gao Zhengyang and felt diffident. Hearing that it was to deliver a letter, he felt even more diffident. Chen Ting and his son had gone to deliver a letter, but they had not returned.
But he did not have the qualifications to refuse what Gao Zhengyang had told him. He could only accept.
After Gao Zhengyang finished, he said to Bai Huan, "You feel very good accepting the territory and manpower of the Chen Family?"
Bai Huan's body shook in fright. He hurriedly knelt down and stuck his head into the ground. "Host, allow me to explain. Ling Bead City has an area for pearl harvesting that we sent people to manage. If there was no one to supervise, countless people would go and steal in that sea region. I followed the rules of the sect and took over the Chen Family's sea region because I was afraid the sect would suffer losses … … "
"Haha, you are very loyal."
Gao Zhengyang found it slightly funny. These people were huge parasites, sucking up the resources of the sect, sucking the blood of the lower class, and getting rich themselves.
This was human nature and not worth making a fuss about. However, since he was in charge of Ling Bead City, he naturally had to make some changes.
There was no need for these parasites to be the middleman between the sect and the lower class. Without the middleman to earn the price difference, the sect and the lower class would both benefit.
Gao Zhengyang said, "You do not have to be afraid, you are not the only one doing this. However, I have to tell you, starting tomorrow, all the gangs in Ling Bead City will be disbanded. According to the Dao Academy's Ten Halls, the disciples of the Dao Academy will handle the specific matters of Ling Bead City. "
Bai Huan's white and fat face was filled with shock. Gao Zhengyang had banned all the gangs and wanted to personally manage all the matters of Ling Bead City. This was not like other xiuzhe.
Xiuzhe had to cultivate and did not have the time to deal with miscellaneous matters. If they had to deal with miscellaneous matters, they would not have the time to cultivate. Therefore, the past leaders had allowed things to go their own way. It was fine as long as they could maintain the normal operations of Ling Bead City.
Gao Zhengyang explained, "In other words, the Dao College will establish the order of Ling Bead City and carry it out. In simpler terms, everything will be returned to the public. All the pearl divers will be registered, and the registered pearl divers will be able to mine pearls on their own. The profits will be given to the sect at a ratio of nine to one. "
The so-called nine to one naturally meant that the sect would take ninety percent, and the individual would keep ten percent. This ratio was slightly excessive, but for the pearl divers, ten percent was like going from hell to heaven for them. Their lives would have a tangible change.
Gao Zhengyang also believed that the enormous benefits would stimulate the pearl divers to be more active. If they were forced to mine pearls, their efficiency would never be high.
Most importantly, Gao Zhengyang hated all gangs, and all violent organizations. He could not manage other places, but Ling Bead City was under his rule. He had to change this.
Gao Zhengyang called the other eight Hall Masters over as well and briefed them on this matter.
The palace masters all had complex expressions but no one dared to object. Gao Zhengyang's actions were akin to cutting their flesh and taking their bones, but they could only endure it.
The present Gao Zhengyang was at his peak, and his methods were vicious. He was not someone they could fight against.
The palace masters rejoiced that they were still palace masters, and at least controlled all the power. But the name had changed. If they wanted to earn more money, they would have to think of a clever excuse.
Gao Zhengyang saw everyone's thoughts and reminded, "Everyone is the core of the sect, and must lead by example. If I find anyone cheating for personal gain, I will not be courteous. Take care of yourselves, everyone. "
After the group of palace masters left, all of them had ugly expressions. When they returned home, they could not help but curse.
The management method of Ling Bead City had been maintained for hundreds of years. It was not so easy to suddenly change it. Even the sect disciples did not know how to deal with the various matters.
There were also a few palace masters causing trouble in the dark, and Ling Bead City was in chaos. Many palace masters found Xuan Shi and complained about this matter.
Xuan Shi was also in a difficult position, but he also realized that Ling Bead City was in a mess, and this could not go on. He could only find Gao Zhengyang and explain the matter.
Gao Zhengyang sat on the main seat and looked at Xuan Shi indifferently, "Senior brother, this is the second time. You're meddling in my Dao Academy's matters again. "
Xuan Shi's expression was a little ugly, "Junior brother, I'm not meddling in your affairs, I'm just reminding you not to act recklessly. The sect has its own rules that have been passed down for thousands of years. "
"Senior brother, since the Dao Academy is mine, so what if I want to act recklessly?"
Gao Zhengyang said, "Senior brother, you don't have to worry about me."
He looked at the palace masters behind Xuan Shi, "You guys went past me to find senior brother Xuan Shi, who gave you permission?"
The palace masters looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
"Doing this is disregarding the sect's laws, disobeying your superiors, do you know your crimes?"
Gao Zhengyang asked coldly.
The palace masters wanted to shake their heads and nod, but didn't know how to respond.
Gao Zhengyang said impatiently, "Greedy, stupid, and incompetent, what's the point of keeping you alive."
Xuan Shi heard that something was wrong and was about to plead for mercy, but with a flash of sword light, three of the four palace masters had their foreheads pierced.
Gao Zhengyang was the only one left alive, and the palace master said, "I'll keep you alive to pass on the message, those who disobey will die."
The palace master was intimidated by Gao Zhengyang's killing intent, and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Disciple understands, disciple understands."
Xuan Shi revealed a look of pity, and said to Gao Zhengyang, "Junior brother, why do you have to do this?"
Gao Zhengyang said seriously, "If it wasn't for senior brother meddling, they wouldn't have died."
Xuan Shi wanted to say something, but stopped, and could only sigh and leave.
Magic Sword Palace Master Bai Huan didn't know about Ling Bead City. He had already arrived at Azure Wood City on a flying eagle.
Azure Wood City, as the name suggested, was filled with dense green trees. Everywhere he looked, his eyes were filled with green.
The Wind Lightning Sect was located in the northeast corner of Azure Wood City, and all of the buildings were made from green wood. The style was simple and natural.
The cultivators that came and went all wore green Taoist robes, and all of them had calm and peaceful expressions. It had the atmosphere of a cultivation sect.
This was the first time Bai Huan had come to the Wind Lightning Sect, and everything was new. The peaceful and natural atmosphere here also made his tense heart relax.
At least, this place was much better than the ghastly Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Sect Master Li Mu indeed had a warm smile on his face. He looked ordinary, but he was elegant, and people couldn't help but feel close to him.
Bai Huan relaxed even more when he saw Li Mu. This kind of person wouldn't kill without a word. He bowed respectfully, and stated the purpose of his visit. Finally, he handed over the letter with both hands.
Li Mu had long heard about the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Now everyone was saying that the Heavenly Ghost Sect was destroyed by Gao Zhengyang. He didn't really believe it. Gao Zhengyang had sent a letter at this time, but he didn't know what to say.
He opened the letter. The first part said that he was inviting the Wind Lightning Sect to participate in the Sword Conference, and that he must come. This was very normal.
In the last paragraph of the letter, there was this sentence: "I have long heard of the fame of your sect's Wind Lightning Banner, and I look forward to it. Sect Master, please part with it, and let me play with it for a few days. Thinking about Sect Master's generosity, and the closeness of our two sects, Sect Master will definitely agree … … "
Li Mu looked at my words, and the smile on his face froze. Lightning flashed in his eyes, and the power of thunder gathered in his body.
Bai Huan, who had been smiling, felt that something was wrong, and his expression changed. He didn't understand what Gao Zhengyang had written to make Li Mu, who was acting like a nice person, suddenly become murderous!
How did he do this?
