When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 720: Fire Mane Taoist
"Chen Ling, there are thousands of fellow believers here. Do you really want to risk the world's disapproval and block this place?"

Chen Ling, the eldest senior brother of Yu Ming Sect, had a stern expression on his face and said calmly, "This place belongs to my Yu Ming Sect. It was you fellow Taoists who insisted on breaking into my sect's forbidden area. Why do you say that you are so disapproving?"

Although the tone was calm, Chen Ling felt annoyed.

Three months ago, the younger disciples of Yuming Sect and Taihua Sect held a joint trial in the sea area here.

It was originally just a small matter, but since these two sects were sanctioned by the Three Immortal Islands at the same time, the relationship between the two sects has become closer.

Younger disciples often go out together for trials, with a sense of mutual support.

But during this trial, a disciple accidentally fell into the seabed and discovered the ruins of a water palace. After Chen Ling investigated, he concluded that this was most likely the remains of a true immortal.

Although the East China Sea is vast and there are many cultivators, opportunities like this are very rare. After all, even casual cultivators will mostly leave behind their inheritance, let alone such powerful souls.

It was a simple trial that resulted in such an opportunity. Even Chen Ling, a Yin Shen cultivator, was surprised.

Moreover, as Chen Ling gradually tried to break the restrictions outside the water palace, he vaguely felt that the owner of this water palace was most likely not just a Yuanshen Zhenxian.

Whenever he thought of this, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't help but feel excited.

You should know that Biyou Palace and Sanxian Island both rose rapidly in the East China Sea after inheriting similar opportunities.

The former became one of the seven major sects in the East China Sea, and the latter, in just a few hundred years, became a top sect that could dominate the earthly immortal world, overwhelming the Yuming Sect.

Therefore, Chen Ling did not even report back to the sect immediately. Instead, he was thinking about blocking the news and seeing if he could take over the water palace alone, or at least get the greatest benefit.

You know, although he is the eldest senior brother of Yuming Sect, he is still under the control of the sect. If he reports this place, he may only have a few mouthfuls of soup left.

Coincidentally, the eldest senior brother of Taihua Sect had the same idea, so the two of them agreed to keep the news secret for the time being and wait for the Water Palace to come out and take the first bite of the opportunity before talking about anything else.

Of course, the reason why the two were so confident was that this water palace looked quite old, and its restrictions had been corroded by the long river of time.

With the two of them working together, they have an 80% chance of breaking the ban.

In order to prevent the elders in the sect from getting suspicious, Chen Ling even returned to the sect once during this period. He said that the training was effective and he extended his time by another half a year.

Unexpectedly, such a meticulous plan still had a flaw. Just when the ban was about to be broken, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the water palace.

His inspiration surged, causing clouds and mist to surge, and an illusion of a fairy palace filled with immortal energy appeared. The palace was overflowing with precious light, and there were magical medicines everywhere. There was even a room in the palace with a few jade slips floating in the air. It was obvious at a glance that it must be an extraordinary inheritance.

This strange phenomenon was over a hundred miles high, and even ordinary people in the surrounding seas could see it clearly, not to mention the monks.

Even if Chen Ling wanted to cover it up, he was powerless.

Therefore, in less than half a day, thousands of cultivators gathered here, including many well-known independent cultivators who had achieved the level of Yin God or even Yang God.

As a last resort, Chen Ling could only contact the sect and report the situation here.

As the eldest senior brother of Yuming Sect, Chen Ling naturally has supporters behind him, which is why he made the decision to take the lead first. Once the dust settles, he can mediate with other forces in the sect.

But if he reported this change, it would seem that he had acted on his own and caused a lot of trouble. If he asked the sect to clean up the mess, he would naturally lose a lot of points, and his lineage would also be affected when the interests were divided later. Chen Ling was naturally full of anger at such a different result, so he said bluntly: "I have already said that this place is under my jurisdiction. You have been acting recklessly again and again. Do you want to make enemies with the Yuming Sect?"

After all, the Yuming Sect is one of the seven major sects in the East China Sea and is very famous. After this statement was made, many independent cultivators wanted to retreat.

This was exactly Chen Ling's purpose. Only by showing his uncompromising toughness at this moment could he make this group of scattered monks feel confused and hesitant.

It’s enough to delay until the sect comes to help!

Just as Chen Ling was thinking this, a rough laugh came from the crowd. The laughter was so loud that it suppressed all the whispers.

"Hahahaha, this sea area is geographically remote, and the name of Yu Ming has not been heard of for hundreds of thousands of years. How come it has become a forbidden area for your sect as soon as the opportunity appeared in the world?"

“Why don’t you just tell me directly that the Immortal Palace was also left by your sect’s predecessor.”

The person who spoke did not hide it, and walked to the front of the crowd while laughing.

He was a tall and strong man with red hair.

"Fire-mane Taoist." Chen Ling's eyelids drooped, and he looked at the big man in front of him with a slightly heavy look.

He was a casual cultivator who had a certain reputation throughout the East China Sea. Not only did he have a good cultivation base and was a Yangshen Venerable, he was also a chivalrous and courageous man. He once single-handedly wiped out the eighteen thieves who were rampant in the East China Sea, and the top three of them were all Yangshen giants.

Such strength is not inferior to that of ordinary first-rate sects, yet he was defeated by Taoist Huo Zong alone. It is precisely because of this that he ranks fourth on the Yuhua List and is recognized as one of the top Yang Gods.

In the past, Tang Yuan was only ranked 87th on this list. Of course, after that, Tang Yuan directly showed his spiritual cultivation, and did not leave much time for the Yuhua list.

Even though Tang Yuan is involved in struggles at the level of Primordial Spirit or even Dao Lord, that is because his level is too high and no one in the entire Earthly Immortal Realm can match him.

In today's world of immortals, Venerable Yangshen is still the strongest fighting force that will be dispatched under normal circumstances.

Facing such a powerful and famous person, Chen Ling was a little unsure about what to do, so he could only reluctantly refute: "Senior, what you said is wrong. Our sect is in charge, so why should we know about you all? We allowed you to seek resources in this area before, which was already our sect's generosity. Now that someone from the sect has come out, we will naturally stop you!"

Taoist Huo Zong clapped his hands and laughed, "You are quite interesting, young man. You look so shameless, you really must have inherited the Three Flavors of your Yu Ming Sect."

Before he finished speaking, a ray of light flashed across the sky, trailing colorful streams and breaking through the flying clouds, like an overflowing river in the sky, and fell directly in front of Lin Ling.

"You are a Grandmaster who is on the Yuhua Ranking, so why do you have to criticize a junior? If you have anything to say, just come to me."

The person who spoke was an old Taoist priest with white hair and a crane-like face, who looked like an immortal. He was none other than Chen Kangle, the sixth-ranked Grandmaster on the Yuhua List, the Kongdiao hermit.

In terms of bloodline, he is also the ancestor of Chen Ling.

Seeing the ancestor coming here, Chen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. This also showed that the Chen family did not lose too many points and still dominated the eight events in the Water Palace this time.

In fact, if it was before, the Chen family would have been able to fight for such an opportunity without having to share profits with the clan. However, after the Change of the Five Emperors, the power of the aristocratic families was greatly restricted and weakened. No matter what happened, the clan came first and the family came second.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Ling came up with the idea of ​​keeping it for himself.
