C80 (2/2)
Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand, ”Don't worry, Demon Ancestor. I have been observing this person for quite some time already. He could no longer be called the newly ascended Sage Wu. After all, it had been over a year since he advanced. ”He …”
Before Candle Jiu Yin could finish her sentence, the ruler shaped brows broke and said coldly: ”Qing Qiu Mountain has a lot of disciples in four cities and twelve pots, why did you pick him? You should know that once you form a partnership with him, you will have to bear a huge risk.”
Compared to other people's generous gifts and conditions, he doesn't have anything, so he has the motivation to go up, ”Candle Jiu Yin explained slowly,” This motivation is already very paranoid. It is this motivation that has allowed him to progress from a nameless outer sect disciple all the way up to now, constantly eager to succeed and fantasizing about power above tens of thousands of people. So, he needs to work with us. ”
”Mm, that's good. No one can so easily reject power and glory!”
”Yes, Devil Ancestor. Even the Supreme Mystery is not an exception.”
He nodded his head and muttered to himself: ”That is the best reason and excuse to cooperate with us. However, since he wants to be at our beck and call, he has to listen to us and be of use to us.” If he can't do both of these things at the same time, then make him disappear cleanly. No matter what, he can't become someone else's chess piece. ”
A trace of viciousness flashed through Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, ”Yes, Jiuyin will go and lobby him. If he fails, then Taixuan will have one more corpse …”
Candle Jiu Yin knew of Li Zongyin's habits and movements, knew that he would have to lead ten thousand outer sect disciples in their training every morning on the martial stage back in the courtyard. After that, he would return to the Blue Firmament Palace to discuss important matters with Yin Bao Scroll and the other few Spiritual Masters; in the afternoon, he would take two or three hours to head to the Heart Washing Stream to cultivate. At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin was hiding in a secret place in the Heart Cleansing Stream, waiting for Li Zongyin's appearance.
This was the place that he came to every day. Over the years, every day, he would spend two or three hours cultivating here, and now, when everyone was taking a nap, he would actually use all of these things to cultivate. From the moment he stepped into Taixuan, he had always paid a lot more than others. He clearly remembered how he had walked step by step to reach the position that was the focus of everyone's attention today:
Other people rested, he cultivated and others played around with him. It was precisely this kind of hard-working talent that was discovered by Yin Bao Scroll that allowed him to surpass many inner disciples with deep qualifications and high skills to become a disciple participating in the Abyss Killing Beast Association.
After being conferred the title of Seven Disciples (Protector of the Capital), he did not stop his footsteps and continued to crazily train his body. Although this desperate attitude caused him to be isolated by the disciples of the altar, he believed that only by reaching the position above ten thousand people would they be able to respect him.
Later on, Daoist Master Su Wu's position was vacant for many years, and no one was able to fill it. The three most hopeful ones were Zhao Yuyi, Lang Gong Yuan, and Yu Duancai: Zhao Yuyi was a woman, so it was difficult for him to carry out this important task; in terms of qualifications and character, Lang Yuyuan was the most hopeful, but he had unfortunately died in the first BOSS fight; Yu Duyi was a simple and honest man, and over the years, he had made no progress other than taking care of people and things. Therefore, he once again seized this opportunity to win the favor and trust of Yin Yang treasure scrolls, and climbed onto the coveted throne of Sage Su.
But now, he was disappointed to realize that this position seemed to already be his limit. It was simply impossible for him to become the first disciple (the Priestess Protector), because the cultivation, abilities, and character of the Ning An stage were all accepted in the Supreme Mystery. In Yin Bao Scroll's heart, no one could surpass the Ning An stage.
What should he do? Could it be that he would spend the rest of his life with this Serene Daoist Master? He was desperate for a higher position and power. At this moment, he looked at the bulky Blue Firmament Sword in his hand and let out a long sigh. He then picked up the flower of the sword and his figure danced as he once again practiced the Green Firmament Sword technique.
”What a peerless Green Pan Sword Art!” Zhu Jiuyin clapped his hands and walked out of the secret room.
Li Zongyin suddenly turned around and looked at the sudden arrival of Zhu Jiuyin in alert, a suspicious and cautious look flashing across his face, ”Demon World's Cold Young Master Zhu Jiuyin, why did you appear here? Don't you know that this is the Heart Washing Stream, and that others are not allowed to enter!?” His vigilant eyes were still sizing up Zhu Jiuyin, revealing the majesty and haughtiness unique to Grandmaster Taixuan.
”Daoist Master Su, don't be angry, I have watched you train for more than a year, and you are safe and sound,” Zhu Jiuyin gently waved his fan in the air, ”The rules are all set by humans, but unfortunately, you are not someone who will make the rules in Taixuan …”
Li Zongyin angrily said, ”What do you mean? Could it be that the Young Lord is hiding here just to ridicule Zongyin? If this is boring, I'm afraid it will disappoint you.”
Zhu Jiuyin closed his fan, smiled, and said in a clear voice, ”Jiuyin has been here watching you practice your sword for over a year. With this kind of sincerity, there is definitely something more important that we need to discuss. We would like to further cooperate with you …”
”Since ancient times, the two realms of man and devil have never existed. What do we have to cooperate for?”
”Oh, don't be in such a hurry to refuse,” said Zhu Jiuyin, who seemed to already have a plan in mind, and step by step, he began to direct the topic of the conspiracy, ”Since ancient times, we have to use chips to negotiate, and we have the chips that you want the most in our hands.”
Li Zongyin was shocked. How did he know what I needed? It seemed that he came prepared, ”Young Master Zhu is very confident in himself, how do you know what I need? Besides, can you give me what I need?”
”Of course!” Candle Jiu Yin's words were resolute and decisive, firm and forceful, as if there was an irresistible temptation, ”Sage Li, our demon realm can satisfy all of your demands!” Every sentence was powerful, like the allure of a ghost, piercing right into Li Zongyin's heart.
”So, Taoist Li, can we talk about cooperation now?” The strange sound rang out again, like a poison that made one unable to stop, leading one step by step to the abyss of destruction.
”...”
