Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 197 The dust has settled
Zhao Yifu let the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword in his hand vibrate unwillingly, but he did not show any reaction.

By the way, there is still a way to express it, which is to simply penetrate the sword body with the "hidden sword intent", so that the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword is filled with his will, suppressing all the dissatisfaction at once.

Then he cast another illusion...

This illusion is very simple, it creates a large-scale visual illusion on the field.

This visual illusion is like a fish in water or a mountain in fog.

It is difficult to see clearly and it is impossible to judge the true location.

For a moment, the remaining five evil cultivators were all confused. Now they finally understood why Zhao Yifu wanted to kill the Heart-Eating Fox first. He was probably worried that the Heart-Eating Fox would break his illusion.

At this moment, the evil cultivators felt that they could not determine Zhao Yifu's position, and they all wanted to retreat.

It is true that King Donghu is their breadwinner, but asking them to risk their lives for him is another matter.

Even if someone among these people could see through Zhao Yifu's illusion, no one would say anything.

Without the Heart-Eating Fox to completely break this illusion, what good would it do if he could see through it? Would he go and challenge Zhao Yifu in a duel?

Zhao Yi Fu laughed heartily, and while they were stunned, he pulled the King of the East Protector back.

The King of the East Guard was wearing golden armor and trying hard to maintain a majestic expression, but in fact, he was just a big toy in Zhao Yifu's hands... no, he was even a killing weapon used to make people afraid to act rashly.

If he sees something that makes him unhappy, he will just throw the person at you and see if you die.

Immortal?

That’s great, pick it up and continue throwing it away.

The remaining five evil cultivators learned their lesson this time. They dodged wherever the King of the Eastern Guard was thrown, because they knew that Zhao Yi Fu would definitely follow and kill them.

To be honest, if these five people took action seriously, they could definitely suppress Zhao Yifu, or at least they would not let him have it so easy.

Even if the three of them work together, Zhao Yifu would be helpless.

But firstly, they were not united, and secondly, they were afraid to take action against the King of the East Guard who was being tossed around.

This is very annoying.

King Donghu was dizzy and although he was a mighty old man, he could not stand such humiliation.

He had dared to challenge Liang Zhongzhi before because the people of Danqingmen, who had the support of the Liao Dynasty court, did not dare to do anything to him.

But now he was really panicking.

People certainly didn't kill him, but the humiliation of throwing him around like this was worse than killing him!

From then on, everyone knew that the dignified King of the East was a burden. How could his King of the East Palace still rule the Northern Dynasty's cultivation world?

"That's it!"

Qiu Yuzi suddenly spoke.

His Yang Spirit suddenly released a vast and endless spiritual light like the sun and star, suppressing everyone at once.

When the five evil cultivators saw this scene, they no longer dared to stay and turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

When the Yang God stopped being silent and truly displayed his power, the evil cultivators closest to him felt the terror of the Yang God most directly.

It was a feeling that directly affected the soul and could not be matched by any means they used.

Zhao Yifu was puzzled when he saw this. Don’t these people know that there is such a thing as "showpiece" in this world?
If his master Liang Zhongzhi could become a Yang God, he would definitely be a powerful Yang God who could do everything.

But his leader, the Yang God...

Take his teacher Zhou for example, he is just a bluffing person.

The same is true of the head of his family. He has reached the highest position in the officialdom. He is very good at dealing with people, doing things, and writing articles. He is also good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is definitely a role model for the new generation of civil servants.

But I've never heard of him practicing any lethal magic...

Of course, Yang Shen is still very strong in nature. Even Qiu Yuzi can achieve twice the result with half the effort as long as he spends a little effort on martial arts and magic.

But Zhao Yifu doubted whether he had this idea.

In any case, when the Yangshen-level Yuanshen displays spiritual power, all the cultivators who are unaware of the details can only remain quiet.

The mortals were also quiet, and the two hundred soldiers had been silenced by physics.

It was only then that the guests watching the ceremony realized that Tie Rushan was actually a member of the Danqing Sect, which was really beyond common sense.

However, considering that the Danqing Sect can produce a crazy yet elegant scholar like Liang Zhongzhi, as well as a rough scholar like Zhao Yifu who could tear off the skull of a bull demon with his bare hands, it is not surprising that they would also produce some Tie Rushan.

The scene fell silent again, and the guests who watched the ceremony felt that the price of their ticket was worth it.

They saw the internal struggles of the Chunyang Sect and also witnessed the true rise of this sect.

That's right, when Qiu Yuzi showed the power of his soul, they knew that the Chunyang Sect was about to enter the Danqing Sect era and would inevitably rise.

The power of Yang Shen is too terrifying.

However, Qiu Yuzi is still only the head of Danqing Sect and not the leader of Chunyang Sect.

Seeing that he had no rival, Zhao Yifu said to Liang Zhongzhi with a smile: "Master, please lead us to worship our ancestors together."

He put the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword back into his sleeve and smiled harmlessly, as if he was not the one who had just killed the two demons.

Liang Zhongzhi wanted to confirm it, so he asked, "Will the Grandmaster approve of me?"

Zhao Yifu said, "In fact, the Grandmaster doesn't care who becomes the leader, but since it's the Master, he must be happy."

Then Liang Zhongzhi took the incense handed to him by Zhao Yifu and stood in front of the big cauldron in front of the ancestral cave, ready to bow down.

When he stood still, all the disciples of Danqing Sect consciously stood behind him, including Qiu Yuzi.

Then Huigu came up immediately.

Liang Zhongzhi said: "Junior sister, just stand with me."

Hui Gu shook her head and said, "Senior brother is in front, and little sister is behind."

After saying that, he stepped back half a body.

Suddenly feeling a familiar breath behind her, she turned her head and glared at Zhao Yifu who was smiling at her, then turned her head back and acted solemnly.

She was very distressed. Ever since she had been the boy's maid for a while, she could no longer be serious in front of him.

Sect Master Xuan Feng walked over with a smile and stood on the other side.

Next came the leader of the Lian Guang Sect.

Then Jingxu Zhenren from Jingyuan Sect also hesitated and walked over.

The Herbal Master of Yaowang Valley looked a little worried and anxious.

But at this time he had no choice. He was used to obeying Zeon. He even knew about Zeon's previous "fake death" and he had helped to refine the elixir.

But how did it happen?
Zeon's fake death turned into a real death. If Wanshoumen wanted to hold him accountable, they would definitely give him trouble.

Helplessly, he could only stand over tremblingly.

At least if they acknowledge Liang Zhongzhi as the leader, Danqing Sect will protect him and Yaowang Valley, right?

Just like that, Baicaosou rebelled.

The Wanshou Sect was leaderless at this time and had no idea what to do.

One side effect of Zeon holding the power of Wanshoumen for many years is that there is no one to take up the responsibility after he is gone.

Because his authority is absolute within the sect, there are many yes-men in the Wanshou Sect who no longer have people who can take responsibility.

To be honest, if this incident had not happened, the decline of Wanshou Sect would have been a matter of time.

It looks like a flourishing cluster of flowers, but in fact the foundation is already rotten.

Liang Zhongzhi glanced at the crowd at Wanshou Gate and suddenly called out, "Brother Danming from Huozhu Peak, why don't you come?"

Suddenly, a figure in Wanshou Gate who looked a little hunched trembled, and then slowly stood up straight... Only then did everyone realize that this Dan Ming was actually a strong man like an iron tower!

He clasped his fists and asked with a trembling voice, "Junior Brother Liang, you actually still remember that Danming exists in this world!"

Liang Zhongzhi laughed and said, "A hundred years ago, you and I walked together for three years. How could I forget?"

"Come, join me in worshipping the ancestors."

Dan Ming asked somewhat unconfidently: "I am only from the Fire Pillar Peak..." Liang Zhongzhi said: "So what if I am from the Fire Pillar Peak? You are also from the Dan Ding Vein, and you are also my Pure Yang inheritance!"

"Don't keep so many people waiting."

Dan Ming stepped forward excitedly, but he didn't dare to stand alongside the other six people, so he stood a little further away.

Seeing this, Liang Zhongzhi did not force him any further. He then lit incense and bowed down in front of the gods.

The column of smoke from the incense slowly wrapped around the smoke that had risen from the cauldron, and then slowly rose up into the sky.

It makes sense that Zeon chose to use this big cauldron to worship his ancestors, because the things baked in the big cauldron do have the effect of communicating with spirits and worshiping gods.

However, Zeon's previous worship was too purposeful and impure. How could such a person, the chief priest, ensure that the column of smoke conveyed the people's respect for the ancestor to the heavens?
The situation is different now. Liang Zhongzhi, as the chief priest, is offering sacrifices sincerely.

Of course, there was also a dishonest guy.

Zhao Yifu was muttering to himself while holding up his sleeves.

He was chatting with the portrait of the ancestor inside his sleeve.

"Ancestor, it's time for you to show yourself, right?"

"Show your spirit quickly and support my master."

Huigu was standing in front of him, listening to him mumbling and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Such a solemn occasion has become somewhat unorthodox...

However, as if just to respond to Zhao Yifu's muttering, the column of smoke above his head suddenly seemed to break open the sky!
A brilliant divine light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the faint outline of a god who controlled the heaven and earth appeared.

Wearing a scholar's robe, holding a book and a pen in his hands, and carrying a guqin on his back... This is the image of Emperor Fuyou enshrined in the Danqing Gate.

He was obviously just a fragment of the master's soul, but at this time he had already expressed his attitude: the Pure Yang orthodoxy is in Danqing!

And the manifested divine body decomposed into countless photons after a moment, falling from the sky.

These photons actually carry some magical information, which makes people feel as if they can sense something, but they are still unable to figure it out.

During the worship, everyone held a stick of incense in their hands, but these incenses suddenly burned rapidly and were almost burned out in a short period of time.

Grandmaster, your spirit really appeared!

There was no longer any doubt about Liang Zhongzhi's position as the leader.

His position as the leader of the sect was recognized by the founder.

This really satisfied all the guests, and they were amazed at the manifestation of the Pure Yang Patriarch.

However, only those who know the inside story understand that this ancestor's divine appearance is actually just to give someone face...

He had to give it. After all, even if he was the ancestor, he still needed people to clean up his mess in the mortal world.

The worship is completed and the manifestation of the ancestor's power has also ended.

Liang Zhongzhi turned around and bowed to the guests on the mountain, saying, "Thank you all for your presence. However, my Chunyang Sect has internal matters to discuss, so I'm afraid I can't entertain you."

It is indeed impossible to entertain them. After all, the Wanshou Sect, as the host, has been completely defeated.

They are now all distracted and have no idea where their future lies.

At this time, all the guests showed enough respect to the Chunyang Sect. They bowed to the Sect Leader Liang Zhongzhi and said goodbye, so as to make themselves familiar with him.

Of course, there was also such action on the other side, that is, the second generation of the Chivalrous Alliance were saying goodbye to their leader. This scene was really interesting.

Soon, only people from the Chunyang Sect were left here.

In fact, now that the leader has been chosen, there must be a lot of things to arrange.

If ordinary people are not prepared in advance, they probably won't be able to handle these things all at once if they are forced to do so.

But after a little thought, Liang Zhongzhi gave a series of suggestions accurately and quickly.

The first thing is to choose the location of the headquarters.

Although Difei Mountain is beautiful, there are significant differences among the various branches of major religions from all over the world.

Therefore, Liang Zhongzhi's first decision was to build a main altar, but when to build it was another matter. Anyway, the goal was to eliminate the geographical advantages of Wanshou Gate.

Another thing is to separate Huozhu Peak, which was responsible for casting and forging under Wanshou Sect, and recognize the independence of its inheritance, so that the sword lineage has another sword-making inheritance.

This step is very important, as it further splits the Wanshou Sect's power and strengthens the sword vein power that is friendly to the Danqing Sect.

But at the same time, with one more sword lineage, there is also one more voice, which to some extent is a differentiation of the sword lineage.

But at the moment, Liang Zhongzhi did not touch the interests of Jingyuan Sect and Yaowang Valley, nor did he touch the interests of Jianmai. Instead, he separated the Huozhu Peak, which was originally dedicated to making tools for Wanshou Sect, to forge swords for Jianmai. This looked more like a piece of cake given to Jianmai.

Everyone except Wanshoumen was satisfied.

From this we can see that a sect like Danqingmen, where all its members have experience in officialdom, really has a special advantage in this kind of thing.

Liang Zhongzhi had already made other sects identify with him from the bottom of their hearts just by relying on this one trick.

Liang Zhongzhi then said to the distraught and bewildered Wanshou Sect disciples, "You, choose a new leader among yourselves. I will not be involved in this matter. Just don't do anything that will bring shame to our ancestors."

This statement seems to let Wanshoumen off, but in fact it is ambiguous.

There was a vague intention of not incorporating the Wanshou Sect into the Chunyang Sect under the leadership of his leader Liang.

This is a warning, but also an opportunity for Wanshoumen.

If they can regroup and clear the haze, then he will not hesitate to accept them.

At this time, Gu Shouyue, the Liaohu disciple of Wanshou Sect, suddenly asked, "How are you going to deal with the King of the Eastern Guard?"

Zhao Yifu said calmly, "You don't want to call me leader?"

Gu Shouyue suddenly came to his senses, his heart trembling with fear. He then asked, "Master, how should we deal with the Eastern Protector King?"

The King of the Eastern Guard fainted after being toyed with by Zhao Yi Fu for a while, and was now lying on the ground with the soldiers he brought with him.

Liang Zhongzhi said, "I plan to take him back to Daxu and hand him over to the Emperor of Daxu for disposal."

Gu Shouyue's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this. He said, "Master Liang, the first thing you did after leading the Chunyang Sect was to surrender to the Southern Xu court?!"

Liang Zhongzhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he shook his head and laughed without saying anything.

Sect Master Xuan Feng burst into laughter.

This unfortunate Liao Hu kid really doesn't understand Danqingmen.

However, the Lotus Light Sect Master objected, saying, "Brother Liang, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter here... I just wonder if the Danqing Sect is confident this time."

It seems that everyone has anticipated what Danqingmen will do next.

Liang Zhongzhi glanced at Qiu Yuzi and said, "At least the chances of winning are higher than a hundred years ago."

The Lotus Light Sect Master was taken aback for a moment, then said cheerfully, "In that case, the Yangling Sword Sect is also willing to provide assistance this time."

Qiu Yuzi smiled and rejected the idea, saying, "That's not necessary. After all, it's just a fight between mortals. We cultivators can just be the chess players, silently planning and fulfilling our wishes. We don't need to personally participate in the fight."

At this time, Jingxu Zhenren of Jingyuan Sect said, "Oh? But there are quite a few players from Danqing Sect who have entered the game with their own bodies."

This time, Zhao Yifu asked, "Uncle Master, have you heard the saying, 'To enter the game with your body is half a step ahead of Heaven'?"

Master Jingxu was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Well said, I feel relieved now."

In fact, Danqingmen has Qiu Yuzi, Liang Zhongzhi and Zhao Yifu. These strong men from three generations, old, middle-aged and young, gathered together, which really gives the impression of being at the peak of their career.

At this time, no one paid attention to what Gu Shouyue said. If he didn't understand, then he didn't have to try to understand.

If Gu Shouyue could change his mind, sincerely become a member of the Chunyang Sect, study hard and identify himself with the identity of a Chunyang disciple, then no one would make things difficult for him.

After another round of discussion, this grand and tortuous conference came to an end.

Everyone would rest on Difei Mountain for a few days and discuss the Dharma with each other, and then disperse and go home.

But just during the rest day, Zhao Yifu encountered another incident.

He was originally meditating and practicing Qigong, but he fell asleep unknowingly.

But even if he fell asleep, a wisp of his divine consciousness drifted into the Yin-Yang Heaven...
