Bone Taoist

Chapter 681: Power Struggle

The next day, just after dawn, the Master of the Responsibility Palace came to the outside of the Langya Palace with a teaching order.

Ye Zang and Shu Aohan brought everyone here early to welcome them.

The waves are rising overseas, and a group of Taoists are coming with their magic powers. Leading them is Taoist Master, whose magic power is unfathomable.

The Lord of the Responsibility Hall was named Shu Yun, born in Fuyuan Daze. He was of the same generation as Chen Baishan. He was even older than the headmaster, with white hair and beard, and looked very old.

Although he was from the Fuyuan Lake, he had not been back for a long time. His fellow disciples of that generation had died early.

"Ye Zang, listen to the order!" Shu Yun came in the air holding the decree, accompanied by many elders of the Hall of Responsibility, with great momentum.

"Disciple is here." Ye Zang bowed to the sky and saluted respectfully.

"The true disciple Ye Zang is extremely talented and looks down upon the world. When he was training outside the sect, he repeatedly defeated enemies and made remarkable achievements. Now he is granted the Tiangang Xuanming Lingdao and is named the True Lord of Langya!" Shu Yun's voice shook like thunder, echoing above the Langya Palace.

"Thank you for the grace of God."

Everything went smoothly. On the second day after Ye Zang returned to the bishop's land, the Lord of Zeji Palace directly conveyed the order.

Ye Zang held the token of Tiangang Xuanming Lingdao, seemingly hesitant. He walked towards Meihualuo, who was watching the show not far away, with his arms folded across his chest.

"Fellow Daoist Mei, you are also considered a disciple of my Divine Religion. Wouldn't it be good for you to stay in the Bishop's land?" Ye Zang asked.

Meihualuo looked at Ye Zang with a playful smile, and said with concentration: "Forget it, this place is not suitable for me. There are too many rules to abide by."

One of the reasons he came to the Burial Sea was to see his little sister.

The second was to bring a jade slip of spiritual consciousness to Ye Zang on behalf of the Linggan Dharma King. After leaving this thing, Meihualuo left without looking back.

The jade slip of the Inspirational Dharma King said that he had researched some methods to achieve the secret realm of cultivation.

Ye Zang watched her leave, and then returned to the main hall of Langya side by side with the cold and expressionless Shu Aohan.

"Junior brother, do you think Langya Palace is too quiet and lonely? Do you want to bring all those women back so that you can live a lively life?" Shu Aohan tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and stared at Ye Zang.

"Senior sister, please stop joking with me. I can't afford such a blessing." Ye Zang spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Can't afford it, or don't want to afford it?" Shu Ao Han snorted coldly.

It seems that Shu Ao is still feeling cold because of the scene of several women in the same hall yesterday.

Fortunately, Tushan Yuehan, Qiu Yunque and others did not break the window paper, otherwise, Shu Aohan really didn't know what he would do.

In the past few days, Shu Aohan rarely paid attention to Ye Zang.

The latter enjoyed himself and went to the cave in the back hall of Langya Palace to study the Qiannan Bagua Formation.

Inside the cave, Ye Zang sat cross-legged on a cushion with the Six Strategies Formation Plate suspended in mid-air, emitting a peculiar aura of formation patterns.

All around, the space was slightly distorted, as if a big river was flowing.

Inside the array plate, there was a very complicated large array, which was naturally the Qiannan Bagua array. Ye Zang observed it carefully with his Dharma eyes, not missing a single array pattern, sorting out and studying them one by one.

"If you and I work together and use the Beiming Ruler as the center of the formation, how long will it take to set it up?"

“It doesn’t take long to set up the formation. But it will take quite some time for the Bagua formation to evolve the path leading to the Beiming Fairyland.” The spirit of the Six Strategies spoke slowly.

"Then let's get started without further delay!"

Ye Zang frowned slightly and said sternly.

The fortune of this fallen fairyland must be controlled in one's hands. No one knows what opportunities are inside, but that is the ancient fallen fairyland, and its aura alone can refine magic power.

After achieving the Dao, one becomes a Daoist master. Before the great age comes, vast resources for cultivation and cave dwellings are indispensable. Ye Zang possesses the seeds of the Immortal Spring, which is his trump card. In case all the opportunities and spiritual places in the world disappear, Ye Zang can still use the embryo of the Heavenly Dao spiritual seed to evolve a spiritual place for cultivation and feed back to himself.

Although there are a lot of secret treasures in the ten continents now, they are only temporary and will eventually be exhausted.

If you have the Fallen Immortal Realm by your side, you can save a lot of time in fighting and killing, and your future will be guaranteed.

The formation patterns danced on Ye Zang's fingertips, and he observed the Bagua formation with his Dharma eyes.

The spirit of the Six Strategies also pushed the formation to its limit, assisting Ye Zang in studying the formation and setting up the large formation.

……

Since Ye Zang and others were conferred the title of Tiangang elders, the bishop's land has fallen into a strange calm.

That was a sign of impending storm. Led by the five major inherited families, it seemed that there were a lot of actions in secret.

Three months later, Ji Beilin returned from abroad.

Several years ago, he left the sect and took the Little Saint Mie Tian with him.

After returning at this time, his cultivation seemed to have greatly improved, and his Yuan Shen became more solid. The little saint Mie Tian beside him also achieved Yuan Ying, and his cultivation speed was frighteningly fast.

Inside the cave of Langya Palace, a huge formation a hundred feet wide lurks on the ground veins.

The surrounding space was affected and became extremely distorted, as if there was chaotic energy constantly floating up and down within a radius of a hundred feet.

The Beiming Ruler glowed gradually, and the word "Beiming" on it kept flashing. The path pattern continued to extend along the formation into the void chaos.

In the center of the Qiannan Bagua formation, there seemed to be a gate constructed by formation patterns gradually forming. It was extremely mysterious. Behind the gate, Ye Zang could hear the sound of rolling waves.

Ye Zang's tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

"Did it succeed?" Ye Zang felt his mind was very tired, and his eyes seemed to be filled with mercury.

"Master, leave it to me next." The spirit of the Six Strategies floated out, holding a snow-white formation plate, and continuously evolving the path.

"Well, we have to develop the path to the Fallen Immortal Realm as soon as possible. This opportunity is very important to my Langya Palace." Ye Zang responded.

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

It will take some time to evolve the path. You know, the innate Bagua formation in the ancient battlefield took endless years to evolve all the paths in the chaotic sea.

However, with the lessons learned from the past, the Six Strategies Formation Plate is also a Taoist formation plate with considerable magical powers. With the protection of magical objects such as the Beiming Ruler, it should not last too long.

Three months later, Ye Zang walked out of the cave.

He called Xi Qiu Shui to ask, and only then did he know that Shu Aohan had already gone to the South China Sea at 7:00 p.m.

The birthday of the Tushan Monster Lord in the South China Sea is in three days.

"Why didn't you notify me?" Ye Zang asked with his eyes wide open.

"My lady said that my husband is in seclusion and asked me not to disturb you..." Xi Qiu Shui said in a low voice.

Ye Zang frowned slightly and quickly flew away.

He used the Chaos Step to the extreme, his figure continued to break and dissipate, carrying a huge amount of magic power, chasing all the way to the Burial Immortal South Sea. The waves were rising, and the black sea was endless.

Matters in the Langya Palace were usually decided and handled by Shu Aohan, and Ye Zang just sat back and did nothing.

But Ye Zang was worried about the South China Sea issue.

Although the demon lord is nearing the end of his life, he is also a cultivator at the peak of the Hedao realm. In addition, other demon lords in the South China Sea have also reached the Hedao realm.

In addition, because of Tushan Yuehan, Ye Zang was afraid that Shu Aohan might have an unexpected mistake, although the probability of this was very low.

They traveled at lightning speed for half a day. Finally, Ye Zang used his magical eyes to see the large boat of Shu Aohan and his group before arriving at the South China Sea.

Shu Aohan did not go alone, but brought his eldest disciple Huang Puchang, as well as some fish concubines and maids to take care of him along the way.

Seeing Ye Zang chasing after him, exhausted and breathless, Shu Aohan glanced at him with an expressionless face and his slender hands clasped across his chest.

“Master…” Huang Pushang’s purple robe fluttered. He was a little surprised and saluted hurriedly.

"You go out first, I have something to say to your master's wife." Ye Zang said.

"Disciple, listen to my orders." Huang Pushang walked out of the hall and closed the door.

Shu Aohan and Ye Zang were the only ones in the hall, staring at each other for a moment.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you chasing me in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will make things difficult for Tushan Yuehan?" Shu Aohan asked.

"What are you thinking, Senior Sister?" Ye Zang said unhappily, "I'm just afraid that something might happen to you. The South China Sea has been stable for many years, but back then there was war and chaos, with the eight tribes of demons fighting and killing each other. Now that the fox demon lord is nearing the end of his life, who knows what kind of trouble will arise."

The bishop's land has always been in a state of laissez-faire with regard to the monsters from all over the world. As long as no one breaks through the Tao platform, they don't pay much attention to them on a daily basis. They only need to hand over the offerings to the spiritual land every year.

The old dragon didn't believe in evil and wanted to break through the Tao platform and go further, but he was cleansed by the cult.

Shu Aohan pursed his lips after hearing this, his eyes softened a little, and he said, "I am not such a person without sense of propriety. If it were me back then, I might have done something wrong, but people always change."

"Senior Sister, what do you think? How do you plan to deal with the South China Sea?" Ye Zang asked.

"Of course, it is to support your little lover to take the position and continue to let her fox clan rule the South China Sea. Isn't that what you think?" Shu Aohan glanced at Ye Zang.

"What little lover..." Ye Zang looked embarrassed.

"Master intends to let the eight of us compete for the position of headmaster. What do you think?" Shu Aohan changed the subject and asked with his head tilted.

Chen Baishan, the master of the three halls, and the ten Dharma Kings.

These Taoists who hold the highest authority in the religion have not clearly designated who will be the next leader of the religion.

In fact, the ten major sects have basically determined their successors. For example, the next leader of the Corpse Demon Sect is the Grand Tomb Master, the Grand Beginning Saint Son of the Grand Beginning Holy Land, and so on. The heads and elders of each sect are almost paving the way for them.

"The position of the headmaster is not something that can be achieved just by having a higher level of cultivation." Ye Zang's eyes darkened slightly, and he concentrated his mind and said, "If you want to stabilize the bishop's situation, you must win over the noble families and the poor families, as well as those foreign sects that have submitted to the Divine Religion. You need their support, otherwise this person will not be able to sit firmly and win the support of the people."

"A few days ago, some noble families from the foreign land came to visit the palace, and I briefly received them. It seems that those two families had a deep connection with you since the beginning of your enlightenment." Shu Aohan said in a deep voice.

"Is it the Fu and Wang families?" Ye Zang thought of two old friends from long ago.

Fu Leyao, Wang Shengzhi.

His Thirteen Forces of Dingjun are the inherited magical power of the Wang family.

"Yes." Shu Aohan nodded and said, "These two families are the most powerful in the outer church land. They have always wanted to enter the bishop land and be among the twenty-four families. They have been planning in the Divine Church for many years. Two of the Hedao elders are from their family, and there are seven Disha elders."

"Hard work always pays off. It's time to fulfill your promise." Ye Zang said in a slightly deep voice.

"Which families do you plan to attack?" Shu Aohan asked, tilting his head.

"You'll naturally pick on the weak ones. When I first came to the bishop's land, I was 'taken care of' by many disciples from aristocratic families. What goes around comes around. You'll have to pay for what you've done." Ye Zang said with a smile.

When he first entered Taoism, Ye Zang lay dormant because he lacked strength and wanted to bide his time.

Now that the Taoism is complete and he has been conferred the title of Tiangang Elder, he must give it a try in the fight for power in the Divine Religion.

"It's time to reshuffle the bishop's land." Ye Zang said with concentration: "Even the inherited aristocratic families cannot be completely immune in the great world."

……

Ye Zang and Shu Aohan chatted along the way, and their relationship eased a lot.

Those women came to the door but did not reveal the truth openly. Tushan Yuehan and Qiu Yunque were both testing Shu Aohan's bottom line step by step, and the latter seemed to understand it very well.

Tianxuan Valley and the monsters of the South China Sea.

These are all impressive forces that can play a big role in the future. From the very beginning, Shu Aohan had no intention of dealing with them. He might have been harsh in words, but he never took action from beginning to end. Everything was based on the overall situation in the future.

The South China Sea shoals appeared before our eyes. The water was already very shallow, revealing countless pitch-black reefs.

The demonic energy was so overwhelming that it blocked out the sky and the sun.

On the birthday, many people came, including disciples from noble families and poor families in the bishop's land.

Led by Ye Zang, Ji Beilin, Luo Jingyang and eight others, many elders and disciples have already lined up and gradually started to do something in secret.

There are many luxurious fish and dragon flying boats docked in front of the pier.

"That is Chu Qianchao's eldest disciple, named 'Lu Qin', who was the champion of the last Linghai session!" Huang Pushang saw an acquaintance.

She was a female disciple wearing a green robe, and she was the senior disciple under Ji Beilin.

Lu Qin felt someone's gaze coming her way, and when she saw Ye Zang and Shu Aohan, her eyes fixed. Then she immediately flew over and bowed.

"Junior Lu Qin, greetings to the Langya Palace Master." Lu Qin said sternly.

"I heard that Senior Brother Ji returned to the sect a few days ago?" Shu Aohan asked.

Ye Zang was a little surprised when he heard this. Is Ji Beilin back? He wonders how the Little Saint Mie Tian is doing, and he hasn't seen him return to Langya Palace.

"In reply to Elder Shu, my master returned to the bishop's land two days ago. Little Saint Mie Tian is studying Taoism with my master on Ling Island and will return to Langya Palace soon." Lu Qin said one by one.

"Why did you come to the South China Sea? Did Senior Brother Ji ask you to come?" Ye Zang smiled and said casually.

Lu Qin's eyes moved slightly, glowing with light, and she said with concentration: "My master doesn't know that I came to the South Sea only because I have an acquaintance here, whose name is Tushan Ziqiong, and she is the seventeenth daughter of the demon master."

"You don't have to be so solemn. I don't mean to question you. Since you are here, come with us to celebrate the birthday." Ye Zang said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Lu Qin nodded thoughtfully.
