Journey to the head

Lu Qian quickly forgot about this conversation.

Thinking about it, I was being a little abrupt. Although I wanted Shen Jialuo to take over the Huang Gen Sect, I couldn't ask him questions when he was drunk.

Shen Jialuo is a quiet and low-key person. If he is sober, he may not have any interest in leading a sect.

Just wait until the dust settles, and then tell her about Ye Xiao. Although this battle is over, the final outcome of this battle has not yet been determined, and it has to wait for the decision of Miaomiao Xuanjun.

What will be the future of Huang Genmen, whether this battle will be a profit or a loss, and how the spoils will be distributed, all of this has to wait for Xuan Jun's decision.

Every time he thought of this, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel angry. He had a leader who was average but was proud of balancing power. The weak in the team could still fill in the numbers, while those who were determined to make progress would be suppressed, and he called it the way of balance.

But this is how the world is. Everyone lives within the rules, especially those in the sect. While enjoying the benefits brought by the collective, they must also abide by the rules of the collective world.

Even though the Northwest counties, except for the Fenglei Gang, were nominally independent Jindan sects, they had to obey the arrangements of the Xuanwei Sect, the leader of Cangzhou. Only after becoming a Yuanying sect could they have a certain say.

Perhaps only a wandering cultivator who lives in the open air and roams around will have the courage to find another place to stay if you are not welcome here.

Later, an envoy from Xuanwei Sect came once. This time it was not Lingxuan Zhenren. Lu Qian speculated that it might be the "house-born child".

The envoy had a very cold and serious expression, and looked like he was keeping people at a distance. He even refused the thank-you gift from the Yunshan Sect. However, he was still somewhat polite to Lu Qian, the famous Tianyuanzi.

The messenger inquired about the situation of the battle and made a record. He told Lu Qian to remain calm and wait for notification, and then left Yunshan Sect.

Lu Qian tried to ask indirectly, but failed to get anything out of him. He only knew that Lord Miaomiao Xuan had sent envoys to all parties involved in the war to conduct on-site investigations into the various factions and to inquire about the entirety of the war.

Before waiting for Xuanjun's decision, each faction had to stop all actions. To be on the safe side, all the forces sent by Yunshan faction now remained in the position where they were at the time of the ceasefire without moving.

As soon as the messenger left, Lu Qian received a message from the intelligence team that was passed on three times and four times from thousands of miles away.

The news of Qiming Lingjun's death in Cangzhou has spread in Ningzhou. After a shock and repeated bargaining, the siege of Liuxia Mountain Range of Danxia Sect has been lifted. It is reported that Danxia Sect suffered heavy losses and lost half of the county's territory in the final contract.

However, several Jindan were safe and sound. The most important thing was that the leader Wuhuzi survived the battle. He only asked for a period of peaceful recuperation. Once he successfully survived the catastrophe of his inner demons and formed a baby, all the lost things would be returned double.

Coincidentally, Dong Chengjun woke up just after learning this information.

After receiving the news, Lu Qian came to the sanatorium. He was still very weak and was soaking in a huge pool of spiritual water. Not far away, several doctors from the Yunshan School were pouring medicinal powder and dripping spiritual liquid into the spiritual water.

When he was severely injured by Qiming Lingjun and fell into a coma, the black thunder lotus descended from the sky and Lu Qian mysteriously disappeared. Qiming Lingjun broke through the defenses of Yunshan Sect one after another, and was about to capture Gu Nishang with his fierce power.

He risked his own life to block the attack, but was immediately severely injured and fell into a coma ever since. What he experienced was a dark time.

Now that he had woken up, he saw Lu Qian, who had already formed a golden elixir, as soon as he opened his eyes. He thought he was dreaming and was so surprised, happy and excited.

The news that Lu Qian told him later shocked him so much that his wound almost broke.

Qiming Lingjun has been surrounded and killed on Mianlong Mountain!
The siege of Liuxia Mountains has been lifted, and our Danxia Sect is safe and sound, having successfully survived this disaster!
If his injuries were not so severe, Dong Chengjun would have wanted to return to Danxia Sect immediately. Now that Lu Qian had dissuaded him, he wrote a letter to the sect, telling them about his escape and rescue by Yunshan Sect, as well as how he and Gu Nishang were recovering in Yunshan Sect.

The letter was full of words of gratitude and praise for Lu Qian and the Yunshan Sect, especially focusing on the whole process of the Yunshan Sect leading its members to besiege and kill Qiming Lingjun, expressing great admiration.

He asked Lu Qian to pass the letter on, feeling full of emotion. He never thought that the little Qi training master who destroyed the sect back then has grown to this point today. It is true that the new generation will replace the old generation.

The Danxia Sect was able to survive this round of siege thanks to the Yunshan Sect's timely elimination of Qiming Lingjun. Otherwise, if this beast returned to Ningzhou and joined the encirclement, the consequences would be disastrous.

From this perspective, the Danxia Sect was saved by the Yunshan Sect this time, and owed it a life-saving favor that is difficult to repay.

I don't know how the leader will report back to Yunshan Sect.
Let Dong Chengjun recover from his injuries, and Lu Qian went to visit Gu Nishang again. Although she had not yet woken up, her body was greedily and spontaneously absorbing the spiritual energy around her. The spiritual liquid pool she was in had to be replenished once a day. Her face also became much rosier due to the nourishment of various spiritual medicines, so she was expected to wake up soon.

In addition, given her special physique, it is estimated that her injuries have improved by 60% to 70% when she wakes up. She does not need to continue to recuperate like Dong Chengjun.

After the visit, Wu Yan sent a message.

"Master, the monks of Huanggen Sect have been agitated and have been asking about Ye Xiao's situation every day. If this continues, they will surely become suspicious. Do you want to tell them the true situation of Fairy Ye Xiao now?"

Lu Qian was about to nod, but suddenly Shen Jialuo's beautiful eyes flashed through his mind. After a slight hesitation, he finally said, "No need, just say that Ye Xiao is in an unstable state and is recuperating in seclusion. Wait until Miaomiao Xuanjun decides the outcome of this battle, and then deal with this matter."

Hai Shuangyao yawned and told Lu Qian that the matter was over and she was ready to return to the Xianyun Islands.

Lu Qian had no choice but to ask her to wait for a few more days and help intimidate Junle County. When everything was done, he would hold a banquet to see her off.

Fortunately, the wait did not last too long. In late June, the Xuanwei Sect sent a message to all the Jindan sects in the northwestern counties, asking them to gather in the central tower of Meihuafang City to listen to Xuanjun's judgment.

In this case, Lu Qian summoned Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng back to Mianlong Mountain, and then convened the members of the staff team headed by Lin Le to make a contingency plan for the Yunshan School's subsequent response.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of the meeting, Shen Jialuo suddenly came to his door. Her face was very calm, but her words startled Lu Qian slightly.

"Master Lu, something happened to my master, right?"

Lu Qian sighed softly: "Did you guess it?"

Shen Jialuo stared at Lu Qian quietly: "I have tried many times these days, but I can't contact Master even through Ditai Kunmu's voice transmission. In addition, after the banquet a few days ago, Master Lu said some strange things to me."

So you remember everything.

Thinking back to that day on the eaves, the graceful waist seemed to bend, and the sleeves were lifted up as if they were about to fly. The quiet fairy was covered with a touch of drunkenness, revealing a seductiveness that she had never had before, and a few bold words that made people's heart ripple. Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a little shaken, but in the blink of an eye, he was suppressed again.

He said in a deep voice: "Yes, Fairy Ye Xiao met with an accident when attacking Hanjiangzhu. She was seriously injured and on the verge of death. She was beyond saving. Thanks to my friend Master Han Mu for helping her. She has a magic talisman that can freeze Fairy Ye inside, which can extend her life for 30 years." "Within 30 years, if we can find the innate elixir that can prolong life and rebirth, we can save Fairy Ye's life. If not."

Shen Jialuo had already made the worst plan, but now that he heard that Ye Xiao still had a glimmer of hope, he felt a little relieved.

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and looked straight into Lu Qian's eyes.

"Master Lu, I want to ask you something." Shen Jialuo said firmly, "This question may be very naive, especially since I have been studying in Yunshan for so many years and I think I have made great progress. No matter how suspicious I am, I shouldn't ask it directly without any level or cunning."

The elegant and demure fairy said very seriously: "But I really hope that Master Lu can treat me with sincerity and not lie to me."

Lu Qian restrained his expression and Shen Jialuo took a deep breath.

"My master was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Was it Yunshan Sect's plan?"

"Master Lu wants me to take over as the master. Is he supporting a puppet to make it easier for Yunshan Sect to empty, drain, and finally completely absorb Huanggen Sect?"

Lu Qian looked at her calmly and shook his head.

"The Huang Gen Sect is my Yunshan Sect's ally. I would never do such a thing."

"It is my principle that allies should help each other and benefit each other. I want you to take charge of Huang Gen Sect so that I can get more support from them. But in exchange, I will also give you greater benefits."

"Besides anything else, if one day I can obtain the elixir that can heal Fairy Ye's injuries, I will not be stingy."

Shen Jialuo looked at Lu Qian deeply, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I believe you."

"Then, until Master wakes up, I am willing to temporarily take over the position of the head."

Lu Qian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Jialuo would take the initiative to bring up this matter at this sober moment.

"For thirty-four years, Master Lu taught me the art of slaying dragons. It can't be useless." Shen Jialuo suddenly blinked playfully, "Besides, this is what Master Lu wanted, isn't it?"

"But I have been away from Huanggen Sect for decades, so I still need the help of Sect Master Lu."

"I heard that this time, Lord Miao Miao Xuan has summoned all the sects in the northwest of Cangzhou to decide the outcome of this battle. How about Sect Leader Lu recommending me to represent the Huang Gen Sect to attend the meeting?"

Lu Qian suddenly felt that the Shen Jialuo in front of him was a little strange.

Not long after Shen Jialuo left, Lu Qian, Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng sat together to discuss matters.

Suddenly, a letter was delivered by the intelligence team from Junle County. Lu Qian opened it and felt a little depressed.

He passed the letter to Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng, and smiled bitterly: "This time, my Yunshan Sect will be the bad guest who interferes in his sect's internal affairs."

This is a letter from Cheng Sheng, the third disciple of Ye Xiao from Huang Gen Sect.

After the respectful words, his first words were: "Since our master is seriously injured and in seclusion, I have been recommended by the disciples to be the temporary manager. I am sorry for writing this letter to you, Tian Yuanzi, please do not be offended."

In the letter, he was humble and first expressed his deep gratitude for the rescue by Yunshan Sect and his willingness to pay a large reward. At the same time, he reviewed the deep friendship between the two sects since their alliance and hoped that Yunshan Sect would continue to support Huanggen Sect in gaining a foothold in Junle County.

Finally, he also heard about the meeting convened by Miaomiao Xuanjun. This was a meeting to set the tone and conclusion of this war. Huang Genmen could not be absent, so he asked Tian Yuanzi for help and took him to the meeting.

Jiang Qingfeng finished reading the letter and looked up in confusion: "This Cheng Sheng looks good. It should be no problem for him to temporarily lead the Huang Gen Sect. What do you mean by interfering in his sect's internal affairs?"

Wang Yu hit the nail on the head and opened his chilling black eyes: "So, the leader is planning to abolish Cheng Sheng and support Shen Jialuo to be the leader of Huanggen Sect?"

Jiang Qingfeng was surprised. Lu Qian sighed, "It's not to the point of abolishing Cheng Sheng, but I do want Shen Jialuo to temporarily lead the Huang Gen Sect."

"This..." Qing Feng hesitated. "Cheng Sheng is respectful, and he has been trained by Ye Xiao, so it is natural for him to take over as the head of the sect. Now he is recognized by everyone in the sect, so he is temporarily acting as the head of the sect."

"As allies, how can we force our own people to take the position? Such arrogance and domineering behavior is not our style. I am afraid it will attract criticism."

Wang Yu nodded, "That's great. Supporting Shen Jialuo to take over and control the Huang Gen Sect as a puppet will bring a hundred benefits and no harm. It will be a great convenience for our plan to weaken, split, and finally absorb the Huang Gen Sect."

Lu Qian smiled helplessly. How come I didn’t know when such a plan came about?
"Brother Wang, although I support Shen Jialuo taking over the Huanggen Sect, it is only for the sake of further mutual support and mutual benefit. I have no intention of swallowing up the Huanggen Sect."

I thought Wang Yu would refute, but unexpectedly he thought about it and nodded.

"I see. Is this the Master's original intention? The classics say that if one's mind is irritable, one must let nature take its course, return to one's true self, and achieve joy and perfection before one can break the elixir and become an infant."

"Following one's heart, calming one's nature, and reducing the power of one's inner demons are indeed the top priorities for Jindan cultivators. In this case, what does the Huanggen Sect mean to you? I have no objection to how the Sect Master wants to deal with the Huanggen Sect."

Real heart and nature? Lu Qian was immediately shocked and fell into deep thought.

Senior Brother Wang is actually more sensitive than I am. I had completely forgotten about this for a moment.

Is it in line with my true feelings to support Jialuo and kick Cheng Sheng out?

Can you make your thoughts clear and promote the improvement of your sexual performance?
Jiang Qingfeng wanted to say something, but when he heard what Lu Qian really wanted, he stopped talking. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Lu Qian's brows knitted, his face was uncertain, his hands tightly grasped the armrests, and the spiritual pressure on his body began to dissipate.

Letting Jialuo take over is what I want, but demoting the leader elected by Huang Genmen and forcibly inserting one of my own people into the position is neither bright nor upright. Is it something I can do?
At this moment, Lu Qian felt chest tightness and nausea, his spiritual power surged, and his spiritual pressure suddenly dispersed. A look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face.

Jiang Qingfeng stood up suddenly. This was a sign of being possessed! (End of this chapter)
