810 Overwhelmed (1/2)

The speculators in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals gathered together and were almost wiped out. However, after the Nine-Tailed Fox called the backup to slaughter most of the people, Supreme Hetu finally arrived late and came forward to maintain the overall situation. His focus was entirely on these several points: Sincerely apologized for the various unfair treatment suffered by the Earth Immortals before, and then announced that a more comprehensive internal rectification will be carried out. Interestingly, Supreme Hetu put forward a very detailed rectification plan on the spot, with the signatures of the leaders of other major sects. It could be seen that it was a long-planned thunder strike to eliminate certain forces.

It was true that this would cause considerable internal friction, but the accumulated drawbacks of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals in the past fifteen years were swept away overnight. The relationship between the Union and the ancient Earth Immortals became closer again, and the ruling power of the five major sects was further consolidated. Compared with the previous situation where the undercurrents were raging under the centralized power, it was really much more advantageous, and it was undoubtedly the time to set things right.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, who lighted the fuse, wisely chose to retreat after her success. She left the Heavenly Sage Hall the first chance she got and was ready to go on her merry way. However, before she went too far, she already fell into a new predicament.

”Hey guys… The task is completed, so stop following me, okay? I'm not your mother…”

The fox girl tried to shoo away the entourage behind her.

”Don't you guys have your own family and friends? For example, you, the lead disciple of Shengjing, why are you not kneeling in front of Hetu to greet him? What are you pestering me for?'

Qiong Hua, who was called out by the fox girl, smiled and said, ”You are holding Wang Lu's token to mobilize us here, if we don't follow you, who else should we follow?”

The fox girl said angrily, ”Then I order you guys to disband and go back to your own places! Even if I'm just a fox, I too want a private life, okay? I've been alone for thousands of years, can't you guys give me a chance to leave?”

Qiong Hua said, ”The authorization period given to you by Wang Lu has just passed, and now you have no right to order us.”

”... I don't know what to say. Are you guys making fun of me on purpose? Because I'm the Nine-Tailed Fox, you guys are deliberately making fun of me, right?”

”Who else can give you orders beside Wang Lu?”

”No one else. No second person is allowed… In the deployment of Zakus, Wang Lu only trusted himself, not even Senior Gem Emperor.”

When she heard this, the Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but scratch her head and said, ”That guy looks very smart, so how could he make such a low-level mistake like not setting up his substitute? Who will replace him when he falls?”

Qiong Hua seriously said, ”If Wang Lu falls, there's no need to consider the issue of succession. Right now, anyone in Nine Regions can be replaced, but not him.”

”Do you think so highly of your old enemy?”

Qiong Hua said, ”I would not consider Wang Lu to be my old enemy, That would be bad for me and Shengjing Sect.”

The fox girl pouted, ”Tch, really boring.”

With that, she stopped paying attention to these stubborn pilots and walked around the Heavenly Sage Hall, minding her own business.

For this group of testing machines that insisted on following her, the fox girl was actually not as repulsive as it seemed. It was true that by following her around, these Zakus were an inconvenience, but were they not also protecting her? As a Fallen Immortal traitor who once nearly exterminated Spirit Sword Sect and recently inflicted serious damage to Daoist Master Feng Yin, without the protection of these Zakus, she would be very alarmed every step of the way in Nine Regions.

Halfway through, the fox girl suddenly thought of a problem.

Qiong Hua said that anyone in Nine Regions could be replaced, but not Wang Lu. But now, it appeared that Wang Lu had been banished to the endless void. Could he ever come back?

When she thought of this, the fox girl suddenly got a headache. Although she was forced to betray the Immortal World and jumped to the Nine Regions side, a betrayal was a betrayal, and the Immortal World would never consider the word mercy to a servant. Now she had no choice. Once the ship of Nine Regions sank, she would undoubtedly die.

”I have to think about it. Is there any way to bring that guy back to Nine Regions?”

——

At the same time, in Heavenly Sage Hall, the leaders of the Five Uniques had gathered. Together with several representatives from the Earth Immortals, they held an emergency meeting. Even though they had just cleared up the accumulated abuses in Nine Regions, all the participants were sad and the hall was filled with depression.

Of course, the problem that the Nine-Tailed Fox could think of, they could also think of it. Wang Lu was trapped in the passage of the two realms, which was a fatal blow to Nine Regions. A small part of this emergency meeting was to discuss the future management of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, and more to discuss the countermeasures in Wang Lu's absence.
