Chapter 1,722  Planning and Strategizing

Five Elements Gate, Bibo Pond, Bibo Cave.

Huangfuling sat high up, looking at Xiao Mian and Qingjing in the hall.

"Propose marriage?"

"Yes! My little brother, I am here today to propose marriage to the spiritual beast White Phoenix that is sitting under my senior sister, Qing Jing. I hope that my senior sister will give me some face!"

"No! I'm so confused by this! Qingjing and Baihuang, don't they fight each other as soon as they meet? Junior brother! Don't make any mistakes!"

"Sister, if you don't believe it! Ask Qingjing yourself! Or ask Baihuang!"

"..., Qingjing? Do you really like Baihuang?"

"Anyway... I don't hate it!"

"Huh? We can be together without hating each other? Are your requirements so low?" Seeing Qingjing's expression of trepidation, Huangfuling believed it a bit - although she herself was devoted to Taoism, she had never put any thought into the relationship between men and women. But it’s not that I don’t understand anything. With a roll of his eyes, Huangfu Ling said: "It seems that I'm going to ask Bai Huang to come and ask!"

"Senior Sister! Stop! She is still angry!"

"What? You provoked her again? Tell me, if you really like Bai Huang, why do you provoke her all day long? Doesn't this make her disgusted?" Even so, Huangfuling still issued a summoning talisman, but after a moment , Bai Huang arrived at the Bibo Pond and called out: "Senior Sister! Is it you who called me?"

"Bai Huang! Come in now, I have something to say!"

"Okay..." Before he finished speaking, Bai Huang entered the Bibo Cave. When he saw Qingjing, he turned around and left. However, Xiao Mian, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, blocked the entrance of the Bibo Cave and said with a smile: "Bai Huang is right. Do you think you want to run away when you see me? "

"I……"

"Bai Huang! You are a guest, so you must not be rude!" Huangfuling, sitting in the high hall, seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Today, their master and servant came here to propose marriage!"

"What? What to mention?"

"Propose marriage! I propose marriage to you on behalf of Qingjing!"

"What the hell!? Qingjing! Are you itchy again?"

"I..., boss! I just said it's impossible, right? Let's go back!"

"Shut up!" After Qingjing's flinching, Xiao Mian looked at Huangfuling. Huangfuling was stunned and asked: "Don't hit the smiling person! Since you are here to propose marriage, you must have a betrothal gift, right? Let's take it. Come out and let me see!"

"Bride price? Yes! Keep an eye on it!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mian casually lifted Qing Jing up with a wave of his hand, transformed into the original form of the fire beast, and threw it into Bai Huang's arms.

"What else do you want as a betrothal gift? I'll give him the whole thing to you!"

"What...what do I want him for?" Holding the fire beast in his hand, Bai Huang was stunned, suddenly threw Qingjing to the ground, and ran away. Qing Jing rolled on the spot, transformed into a child, and looked at Xiao Mian with a confused expression. Xiao Mian urged with hatred: "Why are you still standing there? Chase me! If I catch you, won't it be yours?"

"Is this... just a matter of catching up?"

"Yeah! Just catch me!"

But it was Huangfuling, who had always been unsmiling, who succeeded in finishing the kill.

Qingjing may still be a little suspicious of Xiao Mian, but she firmly believes in Huangfuling.

The moment turned into a streak of fire, Qingjing chased Bai Huang.

Xiao Mian and Huangfuling were the only ones left in Bibo Cave.

"Junior brother! Are you being too reckless?"

"Senior sister, why did you say this? Let's make it clear: just catch up! Do you think Bai Huang will let him catch up if he doesn't mean it?"

"This... is true!"

With Bai Huang's speed, if Qingjing doesn't want to catch up, she will be confused for the rest of her life!

If Qingjing catches up with Bai Huang, there is only one possibility - they are in love!

If the two are in love, Huangfuling will naturally not object. After all, to Huangfuling, Qingjing and Baihuang are like junior brothers and sisters, and they will naturally be happy to see it happen.

After dealing with one thing, Xiao Mian mentioned another thing.

"Senior sister! I want to visit Master's grave!"

"Okay!" Huangfu nodded and continued: "I'll go with you!"

The two of them walked out of the Bibo Cave and took a walk around the Bibo Pond.

On the west side of Bibo Pond, there is a tomb, where Leng Ningyu’s new tomb is located.

Forced by the catastrophe of the spiritual war that day, Xiao Mian disbanded Huoyunling. When evacuating from Huoyunling, he took out the coffin to prevent Leng Ningyu's tomb from being damaged.

After the spiritual war ended, South Vietnam was initially settled. Especially after Dan Qiusheng became a demon and defected, Huangfu Ling entered the Five Elements Sect. After some discussion with Xiao Chuqing, they felt that Leng Ningyu still preferred to be buried in Bibo Pond, so they moved it to Beside the blue waves.

The breeze blows on the blue wave pool, and the green grass on the grave is swaying in the wind...

"Master! My unfilial disciple Xiao Mian is back to see you!"

While speaking, Xiao Mian knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.

Huangfuling stood aside, silent.

But it was Xiao Mian who suddenly changed his expression, stood up and looked at Huangfuling.

"What? But what happened?"

"Something happened! But it's not Nanyue Prefecture, but Du Tianfeng!" After chewing the message he just received carefully, Xiao Mian sighed quietly: "The Ice and Fire Demon Lord is dead!"

"What!? Demon Lord of Ice and Fire, how could..."

"Die at the end of your life and die at the end of your life!"

"..."

This time, Huangfuling said nothing.

What could be more helpless than dying in Tianshou?

Even the mighty Tianzun is powerless in front of Shouyuan.

However, as a result, there are only a few of the ten heavenly masters of Zhongzhou who were famous all over the world in the past. Only the master of the Valley of Life and Death and the master of the Mountain and River Palace are still alive.

The other eight people all died.

Even the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers are facing the dilemma of approaching their longevity. At the latest, these two powerful Heavenly Lords will end sadly.

By then, the entire cultivation world will usher in the golden age of the new generation.

Huangfu Ling was still shocked by the news itself, but Xiao Mian had already started to calculate quickly - the death of the Ice and Fire Demon Lord will trigger a series of changes!

"I came back this time, first to pay tribute to the master, second to come to see my senior sister, and third, I wanted to ask my senior sister to select some young disciples from the Five Elements Sect."

"What? Junior brother changed his mind?"

"Not really! It's just that the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and I'm entangled in worldly affairs. I'm afraid that my senior sister, as the sect's chief elder, is not very satisfied?"

"Who said it's not! Being a chief elder is more tiring than practicing!" It's rare to catch Xiao Mian, Huangfu Ling complained: "Junior brother! Why don't you come!"

"I won't do it! Otherwise, I won't train that kid!" Xiao Mian said with a chuckle: "Senior sister, the chief elder, will be able to step down soon!"

"You mean - you agree that the boy will be the headmaster of the Five Elements Sect?"

"There is no need to agree or disagree. This position was originally his! If he doesn't want to do it, I won't agree! On the contrary, you, Senior Sister, should put down the sect's mundane affairs and start to retreat! In the short term, there won't be too much war in Nanyue Province."

"But, we have to fight after all, right?"

"Of course! The person sitting high up will not retreat on his own! The only way is to drag him down and then step on him a few times!"

"How far do you plan to fight, Junior Brother?"

"At least - Dutian Peak must be destroyed! But not now!"

"Do you want to wait for the Lord of Life and Death? and Shanhe Zun also died of old age?"

"This is the first reason! Not only the Zun of Life and Death and Shanhe Zun, but also many fellow cultivators in Sanqing Temple are facing threats to their lifespans. If we attack Dutian Peak at this time, it will give them a chance to die together. Let's wear them out!"

"What about the second reason?"

"Secondly, during this period, Nanyue Province can develop vigorously. For example, Senior Sister, it is not impossible to rush to the position of a powerful Tianzun!"

"Junior Brother, you think so highly of me?"

"Senior Sister, why do you think so little of yourself?"

"Well, just for Junior Brother's trust, I will also try!"

"I will leave the selection of talents to that kid, Senior sister, just practice. If you can really make further progress, Master will also be glorious. "

"She has a disciple like you..."

"I am destined to bring shame to Master!"

"..., why do you care about other people's opinions? Besides! You know that our Master is not a defender of morality!"

"Senior sister is right! Although the death of the Ice and Fire Demon Lord happened in Dutian Peak, it has a wide impact. I must go back to deal with some things!"

"You go! Master will not blame you!"

"I hope so..."

After paying a big salute to Leng Ningyu's grave again, Xiao Mian said goodbye and left.

Seeing Xiao Mian's figure disappear on the Bi Bo Lake, Huangfu Ling turned around and knelt in front of Leng Ningyu's grave, neither sad nor happy.

"Master! This is the 'smelly brat' you keep calling out. He is incredible! With a wave of his hand, he can influence the world's situation! Not to mention the small South Vietnam, even the whole world may not be able to accommodate his ambition. Although Ling'er doesn't know what he wants to do, Ling'er decides to go on with him!"

When the breeze passes, the entire Bi Bo Tan is silent...

After Xiao Mian left the Five Elements Gate, he went directly back to Wanzong City through the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm - just as he said, he has to plan many things.

The first one to bear the brunt is Leng Chi!

In Baiyin City, Xiao Mian met Leng Chi and Fan Jian.

"Fan Jian! I order you to return to the Five Elements Sect immediately and take over the position of the headmaster!"

"This..., Senior Xiao! I want to learn more from you!"

"There is no need for this! Because, I will leave Nanyue Province soon!"

"This..., okay!"

"The Five Spiritual Jades are yours. I hope you can take care of yourself!" While speaking, Xiao Mian took out some supplies and handed them to Fan Jian, explaining: "These things are added to the secret library of the Five Elements Sect. As the headmaster, you can distribute them with full authority!"

"Thank you, Senior Xiao! I will take my leave now!"

"Go!"

Waving Fan Jian away, Xiao Mian looked at Leng Chi.

Leng Chi was still unconscious!

But at this moment, Xuancao, who heard that Xiao Mian had returned, rushed over.

"Brother! Are you back?"

"Yes! I went to other places and went back to the Five Elements Gate!"

"Did you go to pay respect to the master? Is the eldest sister okay?"

"Everything is fine! Oh, by the way! Where is Taozi?"

"Taozi is in seclusion, saying that she wants to improve her cultivation! Speaking of which, although Taozi's disappearance scared me to death, Taozi has become much more sensible after coming back!"

"Our Taozi is sensible, but she just doesn't know how to do some things! If there is a chance in the future, let her go out and gain more experience."

The two chatted casually, discussing their daughter's daily life.

"Brother! What do you think about the matter of Ice and Fire Demon Lord?"

"Ice and Fire Demon Lord is already dead, so his death is meaningless. The key is where will Ice and Fire Demon Palace go!"

"The Ice and Fire Demon Palace's great elder Yan Jingzun died in Beiweizhou, and Ice and Fire Demon Lord died of old age. In this case, there is no Tianzun strongman sitting in the Ice and Fire Demon Palace. Logically speaking, it can no longer be among the nine holy places! Dutian Peak..."

"Du Tianfeng will not take the initiative to force away the Ice and Fire Demon Palace. After all, the foundation of the Ice and Fire Demon Palace still exists, just like Leng Wuyan, it is not without the potential to enter the Tianzun!"

"But?"

"But Leng Wuyan may not stay at Dutian Peak!"

"Is it because of him?" Looking at Leng Chi lying on the bed, Hemerocallis asked himself: "Is it because of this that the eldest brother took him back to South Vietnam?"

"This is one of them! As long as this kid is in Nanyue, even if Leng Wuyan does nothing, in the eyes of others, he is related to Nanyue State! What's more, Zulong is in the middle, Lin Changfeng of Sword Spirit Valley is very interested in Leng Chi Using lynching in full public view, based on my understanding of Leng Wuyan, he will not be able to swallow this! He will challenge Lin Guiyuan!"

"Challenge Lin Guiyuan? This... Ice and Fire Demon Lord is no longer around, and the Ice and Fire Demon Palace is in danger. Does Leng Wuyan still dare to challenge Lin Guiyuan?"

"That's because you don't understand Leng Wuyan! This man is one of the few gentlemen in Dutian Peak and even in the world of cultivation - a gentleman can be bullied but not ignored!"

"Brother thinks: Who can win, Leng Wuyan or Lin Guiyuan?"

"It's hard to tell before a period of time; after a period of time, Leng Wuyan will definitely win!"

"But even if Leng Wuyan can defeat Lin Guiyuan, will Lin Zongxue give up?"

"That's right! Lin Zongxue! She has long regarded Sword Spirit Valley as the private property of her Lin family and will never give up. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, Leng Wuyan must leave Dutian Peak. In that case, the Ice and Fire Demon Palace will really It’s worthless!”

"If the Ice and Fire Demon Palace is removed from the Holy Land, the Nine Holy Lands..."

"Five Poison Villa!"

"..."

Hemerocallis was silent when he heard this.

Once the Ice and Fire Demonic Palace is removed from the Nine Holy Lands, Dutian Peak will definitely bring Five Poison Villa into the Holy Land Sect to make up for the false reputation of the Nine Holy Lands.

"When will eldest brother go to Jizhou?"

"There's no rush! When I came back this time, I wanted to spend time with you and Taozi, but I didn't expect that the Ice and Fire Demon Lord died at such an untimely time..."

"Brother, that's what you said - the Ice and Fire Demon Lord doesn't want to die either!" He rolled his eyes in a rare moment, and Hemerocallis said in a good voice: "Brother, go and get busy! If you think it's hard to explain to Taozi, I'll explain it to you. Taozi will understand."

"Well! In our family, not only Taozi is sensible, but my wife is also sensible!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mian held Hemerocallis in his arms.

Hemerocallis was startled, glanced at the sleeping Leng Chi, and broke away.

"Brother! You are getting more and more out of shape!"

"Taozi is in seclusion! No one will disturb us tonight, right?"

"Bah! I'm going to retreat too..."

With a laugh and a curse, the daylily floated away.

Putting away his smile, Xiao Mian called Guitou and asked him to take care of Leng Chi.

As long as Leng Chi is in Nanyue State, no matter when Leng Wuyan and his wife leave Dutian Peak, they will eventually enter Nanyue State.

Xiao Mian himself went down to Baiyin City to pay homage to Ren Tianzun.

The first thing is to ask Ren Tianzun to search for suitable seedlings in Wanzong City and even the entire Nanyue Prefecture, and centralize and coordinate training.

Fortunately, the South Vietnam Sword Fighting Meeting was held not long ago. Most of the monks participating in the sword fighting meeting were from South Vietnam, which can be used as a reference.

Ren Tianzun praised this matter wholeheartedly and did not shirk it.

The second thing is the proposal to implement the deliberative system of the Board of Elders.

Hearing this, Tianzun Ren looked at Xiao Mian with a strange expression...

"The discussion system of the elders' body like that of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes! But the elders present at the meeting no longer have the right to veto. Instead, they will be evaluated based on the final number of votes in the public vote. The minority obeys the majority."

"How are the elders' votes distributed?"

"Of course it's impossible to treat everyone equally! For top-level Nascent Soul monks like Qi Ye and lower-level Nascent Soul monks like Fan Jian, the number of votes will be doubled for each level."

"In other words, Bai Laoqi alone has eight votes?" Looking at Xiao Mian, Ren Tianzun asked curiously: "But I don't know: How many votes do I have?"

"Senior, you have the right to veto!"

"Oh?" This time, Ren Tianzun was really surprised. After thinking about it, Ren Tianzun asked again: "What about you? How many votes do you have?"

"Junior, you have the right to pass with one vote!"

"..." Looking directly at Xiao Mian and seeing that he was not joking, Tianzun Ren continued to ask: "But what if I have a different opinion from you?"

"First of all, I believe that my seniors and I will not disagree when it comes to major issues of right and wrong; secondly, if that happens, then we will hold a vote!"

"Or should the minority obey the majority?"

"Of course! But you and I will no longer be able to use our privileges!"

"good!"

With the final word, Ren Tianzun agreed to the implementation of the discussion system.

In Xie Long's view, the implementation of the discussion system harmed Ren Tianzun's rights and interests, but in Ren Tianzun's view, the implementation of the discussion system restricted Xiao Mian's rights and interests.

What happens after that will naturally be handled by others.

Standing in Huawai Tian, ​​Xiao Mian bid farewell to Ren Tianzun.

"What? Didn't you just come back? Are you leaving again?"

"Yeah! I want to go to Jizhou Realm!"

"Jizhou realm?"

"Ancestor of the Five Poisons! I must know that the old man is unhappy when he takes the position of the Third Realm's Sub-Saint, right?" Staring at Tianzun Ren closely, Xiao Mian smiled and said: "If that old poison is allowed to sit on the throne of the Holy Land Sect Master again, Position, I’m afraid the old man can’t hold the coffin board anymore - I’ll go to Jizhoujing and help the old man settle the account!”

"You want to kill..."

"You must kill!"

"The ancestor of the Five Poisons is a powerful man after all. Do you want me and you to..."

"No need! I can leave with peace of mind only when you are in charge of Nanyue! The two things I just said are both important things that will benefit the future development of Nanyue. Please pay attention to them. Oh, and Master Bai Qi, let him concentrate and try to stay in seclusion!"

"I understand what you mean, I will watch over Master Qi!" Seeing Xiao Mian turning around to leave, Ren Tianzun said, "Danqiu Ghost Ancestor! I want to erect a statue for him in Wanzong City to commemorate his contribution to Wanzong City and Nanyue Province!"

"It should be! Danqiu Ghost Ancestor, who is dedicated to the public, deserves this honor!"

Turning around to leave, Xiao Mian turned back and handed some things to Ren Tianzun.

Some Hunyuan Golden Liquid, some True Dragon Spirit Blood.

"Wuliantian is not like Xiaoxitian. It has the Buddhist sect of Xishuzhou as its backing. After the death of the ghost ancestor Danchen, the entire Wuliangtian is probably leaderless. Please take more care to cultivate some promising talents for the Taoists and strive to revive Wuliangtian as soon as possible!"

"...Okay! I will accept it on behalf of Brother Danchen! Thank you!"

"Senior, you are too polite! My wife and children are in Wanzong City, and I still need your care. We are all for Nanyue, right?"

"Yes! Not only for Nanyue, but also for this world!"

"Take care, senior! I'm leaving!"

After bowing, Xiao Mian left Huawaitian and returned to Baiyin City.

Looking at Baiyin City above his head, Ren Tianzun was not surprised by honor or disgrace...

Brother Danchen, have a good journey!
