After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in disbelief. She hastily said, "Lin Xuan, you want me to be a vice sect master? This … this won't do! I fully agree with the mission and purpose that you have given to the Divine Lotus Path. I will do my best to help you achieve it.
However, I have yet to truly join the Divine Lotus Path. Whether it is qualifications or strength, I am far from being able to take on this role … "
In the past, the Divine Lotus Path did not have a Deputy Path Master. The person with the highest authority was Lin Xuan, the Path Master. After him were the seventy-odd elders, the divine guards, and the commanders and deputies of the Guardian Army.
Just by hearing the title of Vice Dao Master, one could tell that he was above the elders and only below the Dao Master. He definitely had a high status and authority.
Although Mu Qingxue was engaged to Lin Xuan and was the future sect master's wife, she was still not considered an official member of the Divine Lotus Path. If she was suddenly elevated to a position that was only below the sect master and above tens of thousands of people, it would inevitably cause unrest within the Divine Lotus Path.
In particular, Mu Qingxue was not a devout follower of the Lotus God. Even Mu Qingxue lacked confidence.
However, Lin Xuan had his own considerations.
He smiled and said, "Xue 'er, don't be in such a hurry to reject me. The position of vice sect master is something that I have specially tailored for you. It is yours! As long as you can stay true to your heart, both qualifications and strength will not be a problem.
Furthermore, I am not asking you to take up the position immediately. Wait until the Divine Lotus Path has gained a firm foothold in the Shuo Province. That will be the time for you to show your skills. "
Mu Qingxue looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression. She wanted to say something but stopped.
As they approached Four Corner City, Mu Qingxue's injuries quickly healed after consuming the elixir. She was too embarrassed to continue occupying Lin Xuan's embrace. With a red face, she left Lin Xuan and walked side by side with Lin Xuan.
At this moment, several areas of Four Corner City were ablaze, but no sounds of battle could be heard. Instead, it was terrifyingly quiet.
In just an hour, the Blood Tiger Alliance, the Divine Sword Gang, and the Fire Dragon Sect, the three biggest forces in Four Square City, had been annihilated.
Aside from a few people who managed to escape the Divine Lotus Path's annihilation, the forty thousand or so core members of the three major gangs who were stationed in their headquarters were basically all dead.
The news spread throughout the entire Four Corner City in a very short amount of time. It also spread throughout the Shuo Province and to the surrounding dynasties.
For a time, all the big and small forces in the Shuo Province were in a state of panic. On the other hand, Dali, Daye, and Xia, who were behind the three major gangs, were furious. They strongly condemned the Divine Lotus Path's vile actions and threatened to retaliate.
However, before the three great dynasties could recover from their anger, the Divine Lotus Path released another extremely tyrannical announcement.
The Divine Lotus Path requested the three great dynasties to withdraw all their troops in the Shuo Province within three days. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences.
The moment the announcement was released, the three great dynasties were even more furious. They couldn't wait to charge into Four Corner City and tear Lin Xuan and the hundreds of people from the Divine Lotus Path into pieces.
However, mobilizing manpower to deal with the Divine Lotus Path wasn't something that could be done in a short amount of time. After all, the hundred over Heavenly Transformation Realm experts from the Divine Lotus Path weren't pushovers.
As such, the three great dynasties turned a deaf ear to the Divine Lotus Path's announcement. At the same time, they quickly mobilized their troops and prepared to go against the Divine Lotus Path!
Lin Xuan wasn't surprised by the three great dynasties' reaction. He didn't plan to make the three great dynasties listen to him obediently. If they really admitted defeat, he wouldn't be able to deal with them in the future. If he didn't deal with them, where would the Divine Lotus Path's territory come from?
In the following days, the Divine Lotus Path didn't idle around.
After eliminating the Blood Tiger Alliance, the Divine Sword Gang, and the Fire Dragon Sect, the lairs of these three forces became the Divine Lotus Path's territory.
Lin Xuan took out the Teleportation Jade Platform that he had prepared beforehand and connected it to the Northern Wilderness Forbidden Zombie Ground. He started to bring in the Divine Lotus Path from the Spiritual Land World.
Almost every moment, there were hundreds of people coming out of the Teleportation Formation, increasing the strength of the Divine Lotus Path in the Shuo Province bit by bit.
In just one day, Four Corner City had an additional hundred thousand elites from the Divine Lotus Path.
Among these hundred thousand people, more than thirty percent of them were experts above the God Astral Realm. Such a terrifying lineup almost blinded the eyes of everyone in the world.
Inside and outside Four Corner City, those big and small forces that originally had other thoughts were scared out of their wits in the face of the Divine Lotus Path's army. All of them kept quiet out of fear that they would become sacrifices for the Divine Lotus Path's army.
The surrounding three great empires all sucked in a breath of cold air. Those civil officials and generals of the imperial court who had been clamoring for the annihilation of the Divine Lotus Path subconsciously lowered their voices.
After that, the Divine Lotus Path officially announced that they were taking over the Shuo Province and set a set of strict rules for the Shuo Province's Martial Dao. Those who were unscrupulous and unscrupulous could stay, while those who were disobedient could either leave or die.
At the same time, Lin Xuan changed the name of Four Corner City to Taiyi City and ordered people to choose a tall mountain outside the city to build the Taiyi Temple as the Divine Lotus Path's headquarters.
The Divine Lotus Path's actions were very high-profile and soon attracted the attention of countless forces in the world. Even the Five Paths of the Demonic Abyss, Demon Refining Lake, Dark Hall, Sword Maste, and other super forces couldn't help but glance at the Shuo Province.
However, they only glanced at it.
Now that the world was in chaos, every force had their own problems.
Huang Dao Nu's Slave Faction, Ji Faction, Kunlun Temple, and Withered Wind Palace were fighting for the divine weapons and orthodoxies. Almost all the big forces of the True Martial World were involved in this. Everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Although those super forces were unhappy with Lin Xuan and the Divine Lotus Path and didn't want to see the Divine Lotus Path establish itself in the mainland, as long as the Divine Lotus Path didn't harm their interests, they didn't have the time to care about it.
Taiyi City, in the old nest of the Fire Dragon Sect.
The Fire Dragon Sect was also a sect that worshipped the Fire Dragon God.
However, the Fire Dragon God wasn't a real god. He was just a fake god created by a group of ambitious people. The Fire Dragon Sect rose and fell in the past few decades, but in the end, they didn't achieve anything. Now, the Divine Lotus Path had taken over their old nest. Even the first sect leader was killed by Xiao Wushe with one punch.
Although the Fire Dragon Sect wasn't very strong, their old nest was built magnificently like a celestial palace. They occupied a large area in the city and spent a lot of manpower and money.
Now, these buildings were the temporary base of the Divine Lotus Path.
In a magnificent palace, Lin Xuan sat on a huge and majestic dragon throne. He held a wine cup in one hand and a memory crystal ball in the other. He was looking through the information gathered from all over the world.
Ever since he took over the Divine Lotus Path, he rarely interfered with the sect's affairs. He only paid close attention to information.
In the past ten years, under his supervision, the Divine Lotus Path had built a huge information network in the world. The spies of the Divine Lotus Path were in every corner of the world.
It was this endless stream of information that allowed him to gradually grasp the world's situation and make the right decisions.
This memory crystal ball contained some of the major events that had happened in the world in the past month.
For example, the owner of the Human Sovereign Sword Seal, Ji Yuanxiu, had escaped from the Emperor Extremity Mountain. However, he was still targeted by the Kun Lun Temple and the Withered Wind Palace.
He led his subordinates to escape to the Sword Maste. However, they fell into the trap of the Nu Faction. Their injuries worsened. More than half of the Ji Faction's subordinates were killed.
However, at the crucial moment, the people of the Withered Wind Palace attacked the Sword Maste and severely injured the Sword Maste.
However, the Withered Wind Palace didn't have many people. The Sword Maste also had the home ground advantage. In the end, the Withered Wind Palace suffered heavy losses and retreated from the Sword Maste.
Ji Yuanxiu also took advantage of the chaos to escape from his pursuers. Currently, his whereabouts were unknown.
In addition, Lin Xuan also learned from the information that the internal conflict in the Southern Wasteland Demon Abyss was actually the battle between the Ji Faction and the Nu Faction.
Among the superpowers in the Realm of True Force, the Demon Abyss was the most thoroughly infiltrated by the Imperial Dao Slaves. Among the five Paths of the Demon Abyss, there were either the Nu Faction or the Ji Faction.
Only the headquarters of the Demon Abyss was not controlled by the Imperial Dao Slaves due to the Lord of the Demon Abyss.
However, the Lord of the Demon Abyss had been missing for ten years. The higher-ups of the headquarters of the Demon Abyss had gradually turned to the Nu Faction. Now, they were working together with the Bone Demon Path, the Illusion Demon Path, and the Stone Demon Path to attack the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path. They were preparing to completely destroy the Ji Faction in the Demon Abyss.
The Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path were already at a disadvantage. Due to Ji Yuanxiu's temporary disappearance, many forces suspected that Ji Yuanxiu had escaped to the territories of the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path. This inevitably made the already difficult situation of the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path even worse.
Whether it was the Nu Faction, the Withered Wind Palace, or the Kun Lun Temple, they all had their eyes on the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path. They could tear them into pieces at any time.
In addition to these forces, there were many jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards who coveted the Human Emperor's divine artifacts. They were also secretly eyeing the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path. A serious situation was on the verge of breaking out.
After a while, Lin Xuan finished reading the information. He drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp and let out a long breath. The corners of his mouth curved into a playful smile.
Below him, Wu Huan said, "Path Master, four of our strongholds have received requests for help from the Flaming Demon Path and the Shadow Demon Path. They have arranged several groups of envoys. They are very eager to see you."
Lin Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "In terms of strength, our Saint Lotus Path is far superior to the first-rate forces in the world. However, we are still inferior to the super forces like the Dark Hall and the Nether Prison. The Ji Faction has asked us for help time and time again. It seems like they are at the end of their rope. "
Maki Cangsheng also finished reading the information in his hand. He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Although the strength of our Saint Lotus Path is slightly inferior to the super forces, we have a great advantage. That is, we don't have any internal problems, nor have we been corrupted by the Human Emperor's slaves. Once they form an alliance with us, they can trust us with their backs."
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "They are dreaming. The current Ji Faction is like a ship that is about to sink. They don't want the ship to sink, nor are they willing to throw away the gold on the ship. However, they only want to drag the Saint Lotus Path down with them. Do they really think we are fools?"
The current situation was very obvious. The Ji Faction was clearly at an absolute disadvantage, but they still clung onto the Human Emperor's Sword Seal. Their enemies were not only the Nu Faction, but also the Withered Wind Palace and the Kun Lun Temple, and even countless ambitious forces in the world.
At this time, if the Saint Lotus Path were to get involved, not only would they not be able to save the Ji Faction, they might even lose their lives.
