After returning to Flying Locust City, Lin Xuan immediately used his methods to control Zhou Xiang.
Not only did he make Zhou Xiang leave a soul imprint in the Dragon Emperor Golden Book, but he also engraved a large number of heaven spirit runes in Zhou Xiang's body so that Zhou Xiang could no longer betray him.
Zhou Xiang was different from Xiao Wushe. This guy was a coward who was afraid of death. His will was not firm. He did not resist Lin Xuan's methods at all. Therefore, he was completely controlled by Lin Xuan in just three days.
As for his four subordinates, Lin Xuan only made them leave a soul imprint in the Dragon Emperor Golden Book. With their Heaven Transformation Realm cultivation, it was not enough to break free from the Dragon Emperor Golden Book's control.
On the ninth floor of the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, Lin Xuan sat on the throne. He drank wine lazily while listening to Zhou Xiang's report on the situation among the imperial slaves.
Lin Xuan already knew many secrets about the imperial slaves through Xie Yuankui.
However, Xie Yuankui had left the imperial slaves for more than ten years after all. He did not know much about the internal situation of the imperial slaves.
However, Zhou Xiang had always stayed in the Emperor Extremity Mountain. He knew the situation of the imperial slaves like the back of his hand.
Zhou Xiang had an obvious fawning expression on his face. He said respectfully, "Master, the imperial slaves and the imperial slaves have been evenly matched for hundreds of years.
However, the imperial slaves are in seclusion all year round and do not care about worldly affairs.
However, the imperial slaves are different. They have been secretly plotting all these years. Not only do they think of ways to exhaust the power of the divine weapons, but they also prevent the imperial court from changing, so that the world can't give birth to a true emperor.
If they can't give birth to an emperor, they can't collect the emperor's vital energy.
As a result, the imperial sword that the imperial slaves rely on is becoming weaker and weaker. It is also becoming less and less of a deterrent to the major sects below.
On the contrary, the Nu Faction stepped up its infiltration and control of the major forces. Nowadays, most of the well-known sects and aristocratic families in the world were inextricably linked to the Nu Faction. This caused the Nu Faction's strength to increase greatly, far surpassing the Ji Faction.
When this subordinate left the mountain half a year ago, I'm afraid that the Nu Faction was already preparing to make a move against the Ji Faction. This subordinate was also slightly closer to the Ji Faction, so this subordinate was assigned to carry out this mission. "
Lin Xuan asked, "So, you're one of Ji Pai's people?"
Zhou Xiang said, "No, this subordinate is not considered a member of the Ji Faction. Actually, the Ji Faction is not considered a faction in the true sense. Apart from those with the surname Ji, the rest of them remain neutral. The people of the Ji Family are proud of their royal bloodline and have always looked down on those with different surnames. "
"I see."
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I only heard you mention the Sword of the Human Sovereign. Why didn't you mention the Human Sovereign Tablet?"
Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment before he explained with a wry smile, "My Lord, I thought you knew everything. The reason why you didn't mention the Human Emperor Tablet is because it doesn't belong to the mountain."
"Hmm? Are you saying that the Mortal Emperor Stele is not controlled by the Dao Slaves? "Lin Xuan was shocked.
Zhou Xiang said, "That's right. The spirit of the Human Emperor Tablet is free. It is not controlled by anyone."
Lin Xuan asked curiously, "If no one controls the Human Emperor Tablet, where does the Dao Genuine Qi it needs come from?"
Zhou Xiang looked at Lin Xuan strangely and said, "My Lord, the Human Emperor Tablet does not need to consume Dao Genuine Qi. It can absorb all kinds of energy to maintain its operation."
Lin Xuan was stunned. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken things for granted in the past. Or rather, he had been misled.
The Human Emperor Tablet was not controlled by anyone. The Human Emperor Tablet did not need to consume Dao Genuine Qi. Even the Kunlun Palace did not know about this situation.
Chi Xue was focused on snatching the Human Emperor Tablet. But in reality, he did not even know who his opponent was. It was ridiculous to think about it.
However, there was still a problem that Lin Xuan did not understand.
"Zhou Xiang, since the Human Emperor Tablet can absorb all kinds of energy in the world to maintain its operation, then why did its power suddenly weaken a few months ago?" Lin Xuan asked.
Zhou Xiang frowned and thought for a while. He shook his head and said, "My Lord, I am not sure about this. Maybe it stayed in one place for too long and used up all the energy around it."
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed. He was deep in thought.
He did not agree with Zhou Xiang's conjecture.
This was because the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Northern Wilderness did not decrease. The power of the earth did not decrease either.
Moreover, the timing of the weakening of the Human Emperor Tablet was very clever. It was right when he and the Divine Lotus Path were about to break through, and the restrictions on Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivators were lifted.
It seemed to be more to give him and the Divine Lotus Path a suitable environment for growth.
Of course, this could be a coincidence, but Lin Xuan did not believe in coincidences.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan could not think of a reason, so he put it aside for now.
Just as Lin Xuan was deep in thought, Zhou Xiang's eyes flashed.
Zhou Xiang was thinking. Since he had pledged his allegiance to Lin Xuan, there was no possibility of him betraying him. Why not sell the Huangdao Slave more thoroughly?
With enough proof, he could have a better life in the Divine Lotus Path in the future.
However, now that the Huangdao Slave was crippled by the Chaos Temple, the situation had changed. He could not think of what to sell at the moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He quickly scanned the hall and an idea came to his mind.
He thought for a while and said respectfully, "My Lord, I have a piece of news, but I am not sure if it will be useful to you."
"Oh? Tell me about it, "Lin Xuan said calmly.
Zhou Xiang said, "I know the whereabouts of Venerable Qing Xuan."
"Qing Xuan?"
Lin Xuan sat up straight and showed an interested look. He asked, "Where is that old bastard Qing Xuan now?"
Venerable Qing Xuan had always been the biggest threat to him. As long as that old bastard was alive, he could not be at ease.
However, in the past few years, Lin Xuan could protect himself, but he could not attack. Zhong Xingyu and Yin Nanzi, who were sent to kill Qing Xuan, were nowhere to be found. He was helpless.
When Zhou Xiang saw that Lin Xuan valued Venerable Qing Xuan so much, he was secretly happy. He quickly said, "My Lord, Venerable Qing Xuan has become a consecrator of the Daye Dynasty and is under the protection of the Lian Clan. He has been living in seclusion in the capital of the Daye Dynasty for the past few years."
"Daye Dynasty? Lian Clan? " Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He asked curiously, "Is Venerable Qing Xuan related to the Huangdao Slave?"
Zhou Xiang said, "Venerable Qing Xuan has nothing to do with the Huangdao Slave. He was originally one of Xuanyuan Lord's men. The Keelung Sect was torn apart because the Huangdao Slave was anxious to control the Keelung Sect, causing the internal strife to be too intense. Of course, my Lord, you are also closely related to this."
Lin Xuan nodded. Since he knew Venerable Qing Xuan's location, things would be easier. When he had the time, he would personally go and deal with that old bastard.
As for the Lian Clan, Lin Xuan was not worried. The Lian Clan did not have any Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. If the Lian Clan dared to make an enemy out of him for Venerable Qing Xuan, then he would deal with the Lian Clan as well.
Zhou Xiang's eyes flashed. He said, "After the Keelung Sect was destroyed, many people coveted Qing Xuan. My Lord, if you want to deal with Qing Xuan, it is better to act early."
"Oh? Does Qing Xuan have many enemies? "Lin Xuan asked.
Zhou Xiang smiled mysteriously and said, "It is not that Qing Xuan has too many enemies. It is because a man's wealth is his own ruin.
All these years, the Keelung Sect has been planning to upgrade the Dragon-sealing Pagoda into a divine tool. For this, they have made a lot of preparations and collected several rare divine materials. It could be said that they were all ready except for the east wind. If it was not for the failure to collect fate, they might have succeeded.
Now that the Keelung Sect has been destroyed, the palaces and halls under it have either become independent or been swallowed up by other forces. However, the materials collected by the Keelung Sect to refine the divine tools have all fallen into the hands of Qing Xuan.
Those divine materials were collected by the Keelung Sect from the outer world for countless years. They are very precious. Which major force in the world does not want them?
Qing Xuan is now a stray dog, but it has great treasures on it. Naturally, there are countless people coveting it. "
"I see!"
Lin Xuan came to a realization. At the same time, he could not help but have a strong desire to covet it.
The divine materials in Qing Xuan's hands were all prepared for the reforging of the divine tool, the Extinction Dragon Ropes. Now, the Dragon-sealing Pagoda and the nine Extinction Dragon Ropes have fallen into his hands.
If he could get the divine materials in Qing Xuan's hands, in addition to Mo Qiuyang, the cauldron of fate, wouldn't there be a great chance to refine the divine tool?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan could not help but feel excited. He could not wait to rush to the capital of Daye, kill Qing Xuan, and take all the divine materials into his bag.
At this time, Wu Huan walked into the main hall. He cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Master, I have something to report."
Lin Xuan nodded and signaled Wu Huan to wait. He said to Zhou Xiang, "Zhou Xiang, I have a task for you."
Zhou Xiang's eyelids twitched slightly. He vowed, "Master, please give me your orders. I am willing to die for you!"
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, "Well, it's good that you have this intention. However, you don't need to risk your life for this task. I want you to return to the Zhen Wu Jie and mix in with the remaining forces of the Imperial Dao Slaves. Watch them for me. Can you do it? "
Zhou Xiang's eyes moved. Wasn't this going back to be a spy?
Being a spy was a very dangerous job. If he was not careful, he could fall into a deadly situation.
However, he knew very well that he did not have the qualifications to refuse.
Zhou Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Master, don't worry. I promise to complete the task!"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Good! If you need any resources, you can apply for them from the Elder Pavilion. Go back and prepare. Leave as soon as possible! If you make a great contribution in the future, I will reward you generously! "
"Yes, I will take my leave!"
Zhou Xiang accepted the order, bowed and left.
Wu Huan looked at Zhou Xiang's disappearing figure and said to Lin Xuan, "Master, this Zhou Xiang is greedy and afraid of death. He is cunning. I'm afraid he can't guarantee his loyalty."
Lin Xuan smiled playfully and said, "It's okay. I don't care about this kind of loyalty. As long as he can be used by me!"
