Not long ago, Shui Qianxun had told Lin Xuan that the person who would escort him to the Demon Abyss was waiting for him in the Imperial Capital.
But now, the Demon Abyss headquarters had personally sent someone to look for him.
With Lin Xuan's intelligence, it wasn't hard for him to figure out that the Demon Abyss must be having a hard time suppressing the Lotus Demons. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to wait for eight to ten years.
This made him feel more confident.
Under Cao Tianying's guidance, Lin Xuan gradually arrived outside the Hundred Swords Sect's guest hall.
From afar, Lin Xuan saw a graceful young lady in a purple dress admiring the surrounding scenery outside the hall.
Lin Xuan was slightly stunned. That young lady was Shui Qianxun.
"Miss Shui, long time no see," Lin Xuan greeted with a smile.
Shui Qianxun smiled strangely and joked, "It's only been a few days. How long has it been? However, as the saying goes, a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. I didn't expect you to become the Hundred Swords Sect's Grand Supreme Elder in just a few days. If a few more days pass, will you no longer be interested in the identity of the Magic Lotus Sect's Holy Son? "
"Hahaha, Miss Shui, you must be joking."
Lin Xuan laughed, then said meaningfully, "I heard that the Demon Abyss has sent a Seal Envoy. I'll need Miss Shui's help to introduce him later."
Shui Qianxun's smile froze when she heard this. She said in a low voice, "Lin Xuan, you should understand that no great force is completely united. Choosing you as the Holy Son was the will of the five Daolords. This Seal Envoy was sent by the Demon Abyss headquarters to be your assistant. You should be careful when dealing with him later. "
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed and he smiled, "Thank you for your advice. I'll remember this favor."
The Demon Abyss headquarters and the Six Paths of the Demon Abyss were actually different.
It was like the relationship between the imperial court and the various feudal lords. They depended on each other for survival, but were also wary of each other.
The main reason why the Magic Lotus Sect hadn't been rebuilt after more than ten years was because they couldn't reach a consensus internally.
In the past, if the Demonic Abyss encountered a situation where one of the main branches was without a leader, it was usually the Demonic Abyss headquarters that directly took action to resolve the situation. The other branches had no right to intervene.
However, there had been a change in the past thousand years. Ever since the previous Lord of the Demonic Abyss had abdicated, the new Lord of the Demonic Abyss was not strong enough to suppress the major factions. As a result, there had gradually been a situation where many factions stood side by side. As a result, there had been constant conflicts between the headquarters and the various factions for the past thousand years.
In the past ten years, the Demon Abyss headquarters had sent a few experts in an attempt to reorganize the Magic Lotus Sect, but these people mysteriously disappeared not long after they left the headquarters.
As for who did it, only the heavens would know.
Shui Qianxun seemed to have come out to enjoy the scenery, but in fact, she was there to give Lin Xuan some pointers.
However, Lin Xuan had already learned a lot about this from Mu Jianfeng.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan gave a few instructions to Cao Tianying behind him, then walked into the main hall with Shui Qianxun.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Lin Xuan immediately felt an ancient and majestic pressure hit him in the face. He couldn't help but be shocked.
He looked up and swept his gaze over. In the spacious main hall, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face was sitting on the main seat. He was leisurely sipping his tea. His thick brows were slightly furrowed, faintly revealing some impatience. Perhaps he was disdainful that the tea wasn't of high enough quality.
On the seats below him, Ji Wenfeng, Ji Xueyan, Yan Feng, and Li Tianxiao sat in order. Each of them had an indifferent expression on their faces and were silent.
An elder of the Hundred Swords Sect respectfully sat at the end of the row. He had a stiff smile on his face and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Near the entrance, four experts of the Demon Abyss stood like door gods. They looked straight ahead and were probably the guards brought by the man sitting on the main seat.
Lin Xuan looked around and quickly found the source of the pressure. It was actually a one-meter square bronze box that the middle-aged man had placed on the table.
The bronze box was simple and unadorned. It was mottled with green rust, but its surface flickered with the light of restrictions. A condensed and vast aura faintly emanated from it, causing one's heart to palpitate.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. The item in the box was definitely no small matter. Could it be …
"This Lin is late. I've kept everyone waiting for a long time!"
Seeing Lin Xuan enter, everyone looked up. Several Holy Sons and Holy Daughters stood up and cupped their hands towards Lin Xuan.
However, the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat only raised his eyelids slightly. His malicious gaze swept across Lin Xuan without restraint. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint disdainful smile.
Shui Qianxun said, "Lin Xuan, let me introduce you. This senior is Gou Rusong from the headquarters of the Demon Abyss. Senior Gou, from today onwards, he will be in charge of the Magic Lotus Sect's Dao Seal. He will also assist you in passing on your teachings and reorganizing the Magic Lotus Sect."
Lin Xuan did not step forward to greet him. He frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged man coldly. He calmly said, "This Lin has a question that I would like to ask everyone. Between the Magic Lotus Sect's Holy Son and the Palm Seal Envoy, who has a higher position?"
Shui Qianxun opened her small mouth but did not make a sound. She smiled strangely and silently sat down on her seat.
The other five Holy Sons and Holy Daughters also remained silent. They all looked down, obviously not wanting to interfere with the internal affairs of the Magic Lotus Sect.
"Hehe."
Gou Rusong smiled sinisterly. He looked down at Lin Xuan and said, "Seeing that you are young and ignorant, I will teach you something. In the Six Paths of the Demon Abyss, the Palm Seal Envoy's position is second only to the Path Master. It is half a level higher than the Holy Son."
Lin Xuan smiled coldly and said, "What you said may be applicable to the other five paths. However, I feel that it is somewhat inappropriate in the Magic Lotus Sect."
Gou Rusong's expression changed slightly. He coldly snorted and said, "Lin Xuan, you have not officially assumed the position of Holy Son of the Magic Lotus Sect. Do you want to change the rules of the Demon Abyss?"
"Don't be anxious. Let me finish!"
Lin Xuan leisurely stepped forward and sat opposite Gou Rusong. He said mockingly, "As far as I know, the Magic Lotus Sect no longer has a Path Master. Once the Holy Son assumes the position, he will have to perform the duties of a Path Master. Am I right?
If you, the Palm Seal Envoy, want to ride on the Holy Son's head, won't you become the Supreme Path Master? If that's the case, what's the use of having a Holy Son? What's the use of having a Path Master? Why don't you just take on the responsibility yourself? Wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble? "
"You!"
Gou Rusong's expression became angry. He scolded, "Lin Xuan! How dare you! "
However, he was cursing in his heart. Damn it! If I could take on the responsibility, why would I need you?
In the past few years, the Magic Lotus Sect had already had four Path Masters appointed by the Demon Abyss' headquarters. However, those four fellows disappeared as soon as they stepped out of the headquarters. Moreover, those four were Heavenly Transformation Realm powerhouses.
Gou Rusong was only a Great Perfection Divine Astral Realm martial artist. He did not want to be the fifth.
Lin Xuan smiled coldly and said tit for tat, "Those who know me know that I, Lin Xuan, have never been timid! Gou Rusong, let's not beat around the bush. If the Demon Abyss has taken a liking to me, Lin Xuan, then give me the authority and I will make all the decisions! If you want me to be a puppet, then I'm sorry. You'd better choose someone else! "
"You!"
Gou Rusong choked in anger. He could not help but stand up abruptly. He looked at Lin Xuan with murderous eyes.
