Chapter 8, Orders

At this point, he paused and said, "Of course, just make sure you don't fail the examination; the elder will just become the protector."

Su Nanxing, Gu Xiangyang

Your coming to Changjun City this time is indeed an act of abandoning your post, which may easily provide others with a handle to seize upon. You should return swiftly

Moreover, given the large number of people in Changjun City and the scrutiny of many eyes, Lin Xiao's means to deal with him are limited.

Gu Jin looked at the two people

Su Nanxing, your task is the same; discreetly inquire about the virtuous individuals in Changjun City, and do so quietly without drawing attention.

So you hit it off with Lin Xiao immediately

The esteemed Lord Situ has misunderstood; as the Deputy Sect Master, how could I not comprehend this principle? I am even more dedicated than the Lord Master to upholding the sect's system

His other two disciples

The way has been present from ancient times to the present

During the upcoming period, Gu Jin will both recuperate from injuries and diligently practice his body techniques, hoping to achieve a foundational level in his training while waiting for the sect to deliver the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

Having received the transfer order, please ask Elder Gu to set off at the earliest opportunity

He stayed in Changjun City, and no matter how ambitious his subordinates were, they still had three who had attained the Dao of the Pill, over twenty who had reached the Qi Refining stage, and more than a hundred outer disciples.

It is merely a minor injury, just a momentary fluctuation

Gu Xiangyang's gaze was fierce as he said: "Moreover, the Changfeng Army at home has completed its training, with three hundred elite soldiers and eighty fierce warriors, led by forty captains. Armed with strong armor and sharp weapons, it would be easy to encircle and kill two or three who are not in the realm of Baodan. We will emerge in full force, launch a surprise attack, and make them bleed profusely."

"Ancestor, should I summon reinforcements from our clan? The more people, the better! The clan members have been practicing the Heavenly Star Profound Fire Formation every day as you instructed, led by the clan head, six Condensing Essence experts, myself, and twenty Qi Refining clan members. If the senior brother and the ancestor also join the formation, even the God Refining stage can be trapped and killed"

Lin Xiao said: "His disciple Xie Xiaowan betrayed the sect and joined the Huangtiandao. Later, she invited the elders of Huangtiandao to come and kill him. He killed the two in self-defense, and the nature of the incident is different, so whether it constitutes a merit is naturally open to interpretation."

Su Nanxing said in a deep voice

Alongside them, there were also a dozen or so figures.

Lin Xiao

Elder Zhou, has this been submitted to Sect Master Lin?

He knows that this is Lin Xiao suppressing Gu Jinlai

Zhou Yunyi said expressionlessly

The old man has white hair and a youthful face, exuding an air of celestial grace and Daoist demeanor

Master

Age signifies experience and seniority, but it also represents a decline in vitality and energy, indicating that one should plan for the future.

Has the situation changed? What incident has occurred in Changjun City that I am unaware of?

Yes

Lin Xiao smiled faintly

Zhou Yunyi submitted an appointment: "The order from the Elder Hall transfers Elder Gu to Huayin County to oversee the situation. Since you are injured, you should take good care of your health, and you need not worry about the affairs of Changjun City."

Lin Xiao said: "However, the Inspection Hall is still verifying whether the contributions made throughout history are genuine. To avoid deceiving the Lord of the Situ Hall, it is better to wait until the Inspection Hall has completed its investigation before bestowing the elixir."

Lifting the first veil, the decades of accumulation by the Gu family will be completely obliterated, and the younger generation of the clan will likely suffer heavy casualties; Lin Xiao would be more than happy for us to do this

I certainly will not hinder the Lord of the Hall

Gu Xiangyang's eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing that the ancestor's cultivation could be restored

Among them, Su Nanhang was adopted by him since childhood and is a cultivation fanatic. Apart from cultivating and obeying his orders, he remains indifferent to everything else, extremely taciturn. At the age of thirty-nine, he has already reached the pinnacle of the Dan stage.

Is the credit valid? Many people witnessed the ancient elder slaying the two major Baodan of the Huangtiandao, is further verification still necessary

Huayin County

He did indeed slay two elder members of the Huangtiandao who were at the Dan stage, but he did not expand the territory for our Hell Sect, nor did he protect the sect by eliminating enemies; rather, it was a personal vendetta

Zhou Yunyi did not respond, only mentioning the order as a matter of fact

But he also knows that this is not realistic

But ... ...

The Sky-Splitting Sword, Zhou Yunyi

The next day, a group of two hurriedly arrived at the courtyard where he resided

With a wave of the hand, from ancient times to the present

Although there are frictions and ongoing turmoil among the six border cities and surrounding forces, they are fundamentally under the control of the Hellfire Sect

Throughout history, one has squinted one's eyes

In Chizhou, there are 19 cities, of which 13 cities are entirely occupied by the Hellfire Demon Sect, with the city lords and county magistrates appointed as elders and protectors of this sect

A county town with a population of less than 100,000

Elder Gu, the sect has issued an order; the situation in Changjun City has changed, and from now on, I shall take charge.

Deputy Sect Master of the Hellfire Sect

Having said that, he suddenly flicked his sleeve and said: "Elder Gu, it is getting late, please pack your things and let's go."

Disciple, junior...

Throughout the ages, restoring vital energy and regulating injuries

Then I will have this nourishing pill sent over

At this moment, the one speaking is Elder Situ Yi, who presides over the Hall of Rewards and Punishments

The two people supported him on his left arm and right shoulder

The two said: "We have arrived late, causing our master to suffer"

I will do whatever my master says

The Master Lin is the Master Lin, and the old man is the old man

Throughout history, one has squinted one's eyes

Throughout history, hearing the words of the ancient sun brings comfort to my old heart

Like him, he is also an elder of the Hellfire Sect.

However, if one were to go to Huayin County

Among these more than ten individuals, the most striking is an elderly man

... ...

Gu Xiangyang displayed his talent for cultivation from a young age. He is ten years younger than Su Nanxing, yet he has already achieved the mastery of Qi.

A man in his thirties, with stubble and a weathered face, seems to be hurrying from a distance

"Su Nanjing, you may close your eyes for now. First, you should resign from your position. For the time being, follow me, as I have matters to instruct you on."

In comparison to him, Zhou Yunyi has lived for one hundred and twenty-six years to this day

The elders of both ancient and modern times are indeed qualified to exchange for a Spirit Nourishing Pill, as the clear distinction between rewards and punishments is the fundamental principle upon which our Hell Sect is established, and there is no need for further words from Sect Master Lin

This is a view of the area of Changjun City.

Let the head of the family secretly inquire about some upright individuals in Xuanjing City, and record their names. Once the matters here are resolved, I will make a trip there.

Elder? I am merely a black-clad elder, unworthy to associate with a golden-clad elder such as yourself

However, if we remain indifferent, others will think that our family, the Gu family, is easy to bully, and that our ancestors can be taken lightly

... ...

Injured

At this moment, in the capital city of Chishan, within a magnificent palace adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings belonging to the Refining Purgatory Sect, a young man dressed in luxurious attire, with a fair complexion and resembling a prince of a royal palace, was conversing with an elderly man

Elder Zhou's actions are akin to adding insult to injury

Zhou Yunyi said. Looking at Zhou Yunyi, there were more than ten people behind him, both ancient and modern.

"No problem, once my spirit-replenishing elixir is ready and I have restored my cultivation level, I will have a proper contest of strength with them."

Go

You and I are both elders, does Elder Zhou really intend to go to such lengths? To send me to Huayin County?

Moreover, the primary responsibility for the issue still lies with the Supervisory Palace. Immediately, he nodded and retracted the Spirit Nourishing Pill: "Very well, let us wait for the Supervisory Palace to verify before proceeding with the rewards"

Upon seeing Elder Gu Jin of the Refining Spirit, I had already guessed something, but I did not expect him to be so direct

However, he did not wait for the Nourishing Spirit Pill, but instead welcomed the two elder alchemists, Fang Cai and Hong Shan.

The other person was young and handsome, with a fair complexion, exuding the charm of a delicate young man

Although the deputy sect leader assists the sect leader in handling the trivial matters of the sect, they also wield significant power, which cannot be compared to that of the elders

Ah, I suppose I need not elaborate further. The rumors circulating outside suggest that Elder Gu's descent into madness is merely a performance staged in collaboration with the Zhengyi Sect. But do we not understand this ourselves? With insufficient strength, can Elder Gu still maintain control over the situation in Changjun City?

Sima Yimo fell silent.

Zhou Yunyi glanced at him: "Lin Zong specially requested the Elder Hall to commend Elder Gu for his years of hard work and contributions, promoting Elder Gu to the position of Golden Robe Elder. Once the Elder Hall completes the evaluation of Elder Gu's achievements and status, Elder Gu will be able to soar to great heights. The Black Robe, Golden Robe, and Red Robe positions, with the Red Robe being the next step up, all lead to the Elder Council."

One of the ten great demon sects, it dominates Chizhou and holds the power of life and death over thirty million citizens of Chizhou

From ancient times to the present, the first moment revealed his identity

Purgatory Sect

Sima Yi's expression was one of astonishment

Yes
