fairy don't want to talk to you

Chapter 519 Rumors

At night, the Star-Picking Tower was brightly lit, but it was much quieter than usual.

Seeing Shang Shaoyang coming in, the shopkeeper hurried forward to greet him: "Grandpa, the boss has gone out for something and hasn't come back yet. What do you want?"

Shang Shaoyang walked upstairs while saying, "I know he went there on my orders and may not be back in the short term. Please take care of the things here."

The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely try my best."

Shang Shaoyang randomly picked a seat and sat down, waving his hand: "Go ahead."

"Yes."

Seeing that he was just sitting there idly, the shopkeeper thought he had come out to relax, so he called a maid over to serve him tea and then left him alone.

Downstairs, some people were excitedly talking about what had happened recently in the world of immortal cultivation.

The most watched one was, of course, the battle of Huangquan, where the immortals fought hard and narrowly blocked the Demon Sect back to Huangquan, and then painstakingly repaired the Demon Sealing Formation. There was also how the late Sect Leader Cen was so righteous and fearless that he was only one step away from killing the Demon Lord.

Finally, there is the White Fairy, who had made so many great achievements before, but was actually possessed by a demon - perhaps, she has always been a demon, but was just good at disguising herself.

Shang Shaoyang frowned and waved to call the maid.

"Isn't there a storyteller in the building? Ask him to come over later."

The maid replied "yes" and went out to pass on the message.

We continued chatting downstairs and the topic turned to Wuji Sect.

"...The position of Wuji Sect's leader has been vacant for so many years, and finally someone has succeeded to the throne."

"But, Young Sect Master Ling... Bah! He's Sect Master Ling now, and Fairy Bai is his fiancée, so nothing will go wrong, right?"

"You want to know if he's partial, right?"

"Haha, don't make it too clear..."

"I don't think so. Didn't you hear that when the Demon Lord showed his might, Sect Master Ling blocked the final blow, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties."

"If you ask me, Sect Master Ling is the one who is truly miserable. The people around him turned out to be spies from the Demon Sect, and he was toyed with for decades..."

"Haha, it's hard to say. Don't forget, his father is Ling Yunzhou! I heard that the demon body used by the faceless man's eldest brother, Zishu, is Ling Yunzhou's. There is no definite evidence whether his father is innocent or not."

"What you said is true. He was just born when Ling Yunzhou got into trouble. Even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with him."

"Really? Don't forget that he was born with demonic energy in his body. It is said that his meridians have become demonic... Also, why do people around him always get into trouble? It's the same with his father and his fiancée."

"Why don't you mention that his mother died fighting against the invasion of monsters? And his grandfather was also a hero!"

……

There were all kinds of things said, and the two groups even started arguing.

In the end, the argument became too loud and the shopkeeper stopped them and started talking about another topic.

"I heard that Danxia Palace is also going to change its leader. They will not hold a succession ceremony, but will directly take the throne at the funeral of Leader Cen."

"Really? Who will be the successor?"

"Of course it's Immortal Ning, he has already become a god."

"It's just a transition for others to get promoted. Immortal Ning is a man of natural talent and good character, and he is the one that everyone wants!"

"The Wuji Sect changed its leader, and the Danxia Palace changed its head. The two great sects changed their leaders almost at the same time. Has this ever happened before?"

"Shouldn't it be? A generation of leaders often lead a sect for hundreds of years. How can it be such a coincidence?"

"Come to think of it, the two leaders are very young! They seem to be less than a hundred years old?" "Yes. The Wuji Sect has been cut off from the throne. The daughter of the old Sect Master Jiang, Fairy Jiang, was supposed to succeed her, but she died in the Battle of Ming River ahead of time."

"Master Cen is actually in his prime and should have been in charge for another two to three hundred years."

"So the two of them are a generation ahead of their time! In these turbulent times, we have encountered two young leaders of the immortal sect. I wonder if they can hold on..."

Yes, the fighting on the front line was so intense that the Star Picking Tower was no longer as lively as before. I hope the two new leaders of the Shangzong can withstand the storms in the future.
-
In the death row of Danxia Palace, Huo Chongxiao sat cross-legged in meditation.

There was no spiritual energy here and all magic was forbidden. He couldn't mobilize any magic power or practice by doing this, but he still did his morning and evening lessons as usual.

The long time is meaningless. Only in this way can he calm his mind and endure the torment of his soul caused by the formation.

Sometimes he would wonder when his master would wake up, whether his junior sister was safe, and when the truth would be revealed.

Even the head of the sect was plotted against. This conspiracy is very sophisticated. Maybe the master and the apprentice will be imprisoned for a long time. I hope the apprentice sister is safe now - there has been no news for so long, she should be safe, right?

The situation was urgent and Senior Brother Ning was in seclusion. After much thought, he decided that the only person he could trust was Miss Bai. He hoped that she could protect Junior Sister...

Suddenly, there was the sound of a chain being pulled outside, and then with a "bang", the door was opened.

Huo Chongxiao was stunned for a long while before slowly turning back.

When he saw Ning Yan standing in front of him, he was stunned: "Ning, Senior Brother Ning..."

Having not spoken for so long, his voice became hoarse, and even his joy was delayed, slowly rising to his heart.

"Senior Brother Ning!" He finally became excited and wanted to stand up, but because he moved too big, the chain was pulled and he staggered.

Ning Yanzhi gently supported him, turned around and ordered: "Open it."

"Yes." The guarding disciple stepped forward and untied the chains.

Huo Chongxiao couldn't believe that he was free, and asked, "Can I go out now?"

Ning Yanzhi nodded: "Of course, I'm here to take you away."

Huo Chongxiao showed a joyful smile and asked, "Have you found out the truth? My master..."

"No." Ning Yanzhi replied calmly, "Uncle Changling will have to stay here for a while."

Huo Chongxiao's emotions cooled down a little as he realized that he was saved by Ning Yanzhi.

"Brother Ning, will the elders have any objections to your doing this? After all, I..."

"It's okay, I have this." Ning Yanzhi opened his hand, and a ray of light appeared in his palm.

Huo Chongxiao was stunned: "Master's order? Senior Brother Ning, you..."

"Senior Brother Ning is now the headmaster." The disciple who brought them in said, opening the cell door, "Senior Brother Headmaster, you can go out now."

"What?" Huo Chongxiao didn't react.

Ning Yanzhi led him out of the prison and saw the guarding elder Li Chu in the stone hall. The elder snorted, "You can take this kid away, but you have to keep an eye on him. If he does anything that harms the sect, you will be held responsible even if you are the sect leader."

Ning Yanzhi replied calmly and politely: "I understand, Uncle Master."

Huo Chongxiao followed him back to the main peak. Although he had not been imprisoned for a long time, the scenery he saw made him feel as if he were in another world.

The road was lined with white banners, the disciples were removing the inscriptions on the memorial tablets in the hall, and a new spirit tablet was added to the ancestral hall.

Huo Chongxiao's hands began to tremble when he saw the words clearly.

"Master, Master, he..."

"Master has passed away." Ning Yanzhi personally lit three incense sticks and handed them to him.
