334, We Pay Homage to the Patriarch and Wish Him Eternal Happiness and Longevity.

"This matter is of great importance, and Xu cannot make a final decision. It is better to wait until he returns to the church and discusses it with the higher-ups in the church before making a decision.

Xu Xing pondered for a moment, but did not refuse explicitly, but said so tactfully. Rejecting bluntly can easily hurt feelings.

It cannot be said that Hongchen Pavilion is both good and evil. If he, the leader of the righteous way, joins it and becomes a worshipper, it will have a negative impact on Butian Sect.

"That being the case, our sect will not force you. As long as Master Xu remembers, our sect will always open the door to Master Xu." Fang Xiuxian took over the conversation, chuckled, and ended the topic.

"This is the Immortal Sutra of the Red Dust. It can be borrowed by Master Xu for one year. After one year, I hope Master Xu will return the original." After saying this, Fang Xiuxian took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xing with magic power.

"One year"

"Thank you two fellow Taoists."

Xu Xing cupped his hands and thanked him. He immediately took the "Red Dust Immortal Sutra", opened the pages, and began to understand the Taoist charm in it. --

--One year later.

Xu Xing returned the "Red Dust Immortal Sutra" and went to Beihuang alone to return to Butian Sect. As for Dai Ji, he stayed in Hongchen Pavilion and continued to retreat.

With two strands of immortal energy filling her body, Dai Ji broke through to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, but this realm was imaginary and needed to be re-consolidated.

In addition, because Dai Ji is less than a thousand years old and is expected to reach the realm of primordial spirit, Fang Xiuxian and others have no reason to let go of this primordial spirit seed.

"It's okay not to take Daiji with you."

"In the Butian Sect, there are two daughters, Wu Miao and Zuo Qiu Ying," Xu Xing thought to himself while controlling the escape light.

Let’s not mention Zuo Qiu Ying for the moment. She didn’t have a deep relationship with him. She married him because of the marriage between Butian Sect and Nanhua Sect. Now that Zuoqiu's ancestor is dead and Zuoqiu's lineage is declining, Zuoqiu Ying won't have too many opinions on him.

But Wu Miao is different. A friend in need

Without the help of Wu Miao's mysterious female body, he would not be able to improve his cultivation level as quickly as he did in the Dao Dan realm.

Beihuang is not far from Hongchen Pavilion. With his slow speed, he has reached the edge of Beihuang in about a day.

"Four years have passed. I sent Taoist Master Zhongtai to enter the Butian Sect first. I wonder how the situation in the Butian Sect has changed now." Xu Xing lowered his escape light, disguised himself, and after concealing his aura, casually entered a market and began to inquire about information. .

While in Hongchen Pavilion, he learned about the changes in Butian Sect over the past two hundred years. After he was chased by Chi Yuan.

Because he successfully escaped from the hands of Chi Yuan, the Lord of Yuanshen, he established his title and reputation as the number one person in the realm of Yuanshen. Therefore, even though the Butian Sect is not guarded by him, it is not in danger of collapse.

The two major sects in Beihuang, the Seven-Star Sect and the Yinfeng Sect, have an ambiguous attitude towards the Butian Sect. They only "encircle but not attack" and watch the development of the Butian Sect.

To this.

Xu Xing had already expected it. When he went to Nanyanzhou to avoid Chi Yuan's pursuit, he had a clear judgment on the situation.

People and land are saved, and people and land are saved.

If the land is saved and people are lost, both people and land will be lost.

As long as he, the leader of the cult, is not dead, it is impossible for the Seven Star Sect and Yin Feng Sect in the Northern Wasteland to attack this new force of Butian Sect.

Not only would the two major sects, the Seven Star Sect and the Yin Feng Sect, not benefit from the destruction of Butian Sect, but they would also provoke him, a potential strong man.

As long as the decision-makers of these two major sects are not idiots, they will not do this. A few days later.

After Xu Xing inquired about the news in several large markets in the Northern Wasteland, he made a basic judgment on the situation within the Butian Sect.

"The situation is a bit beyond my expectation. Zuo Qiuying is not a simple person." Xu Xing was surprised.

The information he inquired about about the Butian Sect in Hongchen Pavilion was mostly about external situations and rarely involved the internal situation of the Butian Sect.

However, his plan to introduce Daojun Chongtai, an "outsider", into the Butian Sect four years ago finally worked.

The "monolithic" Butian Sect was torn apart by Daojun Chongtai, and the composition and affiliation of the forces were also revealed one by one.

in.

Order Xu Xing

Surprisingly, the leader of the huge Butian Sect is not the Chongzhen Guan monks who account for a large proportion, nor the Xingyun Sect with whom he has a close relationship, but Zuo Qiuying, the wife of the leader.

For more than two hundred years, Zuo Qiu Ying controlled the Butian Sect almost firmly in his hands. Even if Dao Lord Chongtai and others entered, they still failed to reap the rewards.

"Although Zuo Qiuying came to power relying on my remaining power, it is also inseparable from her ability." Xu Xing's mood returned to calm.

More than two hundred years ago, he made a big fuss in the Nanhua Sect's Wedding Hall, and Zuo Qiuying's performance was still vivid in his mind.

In anger, he cut off the red silk ribbon with Ruan Baimei, then regretted the marriage on behalf of the Nanhua sect and broke the alliance with Feiyu Immortal Palace. At that time, all the cultivators from various sects thought that Zuo Qiuying was bold and reckless. How could the marriage between the two great sects be broken off just because of her? However, various events later proved that Zuo Qiuying's decision was correct.

If Zuo Qiu Ying had not been angry and cut off Hong Ling with one sword, allowing Feiyu Immortal Palace to unilaterally bully the Nanhua sect, then Zuo Qiu Ying's back might not be as happy as it is today.

From that day on, if Zuo Qiuying did nothing, he would definitely become a sinner of the Nanhua Sect. The monks blamed Zuo Qiuying, the man they married, for the humiliation of the Nanhua Sect. Although this may seem ridiculous, in fact, it is the norm.

Authority always bullies the weak. Instead of drawing the sword at the stronger one.

In the dilemma, Zuo Qiuying rationally chose an easy path.

"I wonder if Zuo Qiuying will make a rational choice this time and return the power of Butian Sect to me." Xu Xing flicked his sleeves and left Fangshi in an instant, rushing to the headquarters of Butian Sect.

The transfer of power is far from being as simple as imagined.

He would not allow that after he returned to the Butian Sect, there would still be a "retired emperor" above him. --

--Half a day later. Northern Wilderness, Butian Sect's headquarters.

Xu Xing stopped his flight light and looked down at the large sect that had already taken shape. Then he shook his sleeves and sent a talisman letter to the interior of the headquarters.

At this moment, he was already the Holy Lord of Yuanshen. No matter which sect he was in, he would be a guest of honor, not to mention the sect he founded.

To take over the power of the Butian Sect, he only needed to do it in an upright manner, without having to play any tricks to deal with his wife.

Letting Chongtai Daojun go ahead of him was just to let Chongtai Daojun go to the Butian Sect to inform him of his return. As for the internal struggle between the two forces of the Butian Sect, it was an open conspiracy.

In addition, this point could not be avoided.

After the separation of the two branches with Chiyuan Dao, the cultivators of the master and apprentice lineage of Feiyu Xian Palace joined the Butian Sect and would certainly fight for power. These were all predictable things.

And he just let this contradiction arise before he returned to the Butian Sect. After Xu Xing sent out the talisman.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, countless lights suddenly rose inside the Butian Sect, and hundreds of Daodan and Yuanying cultivators came out and stood in front of the mountain gate, bowing to Xu Xing together.

"We pay our respects to the leader, and wish the leader eternal blessings and longevity," the Butian Sect cultivators said in unison.

Although nominally, the Butian Sect was established under the banner of the orthodox Feiyu Fairy Palace.

But in fact, the Butian Sect was actually a sect created by Xu Xing by forcibly combining small and medium-sized forces from all parties. As the first generation leader, Xu Xing's personal prestige is far higher than that of the heads and patriarchs of most ordinary sects. "Xu thanked all the Taoist friends for their love, and stood up quickly, there is no need to do this."

Xu Xing glanced at the Butian Sect's senior officials standing in front of him, and he immediately knew what was going on. He smiled slightly and said.

"Thank you, Master."

The cultivators of the Butian Sect stood up and separated a wide path leading to the main hall of the Butian Sect. "My husband, please enter the hall. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you."

Seeing that Xu Xing did not move, Zuo Qiuying, who was standing in the front row, immediately stepped forward and bowed, reminding him. "Where is Daoist Chongtai?"

"Xu asked him to go to the Butian Sect to inform the Daoists. Why didn't Daoist Chongtai come to greet him today?" "Could it be that Daoist Chongtai had something else to do and missed the time?"

Xu Xing ignored Zuo Qiuying and looked coldly at the senior leaders standing in the front row. He asked in a voice several degrees colder. As soon as the words fell.

The senior leaders of the Butian Sect broke out in cold sweats, and many cultivators glanced at Zuo Qiuying, and then quickly lowered their heads.

This scene is self-evident.

Xu Xingshun set his eyes on Zuo Qiuying.

"Zhongtai Daojun" Zuo Qiuying was stunned for a moment, and explained in a panic: "Zhongtai Daojun was arranged by my concubine to guard Qingli Ridge."

"The Qingli Ridge Demon Cave has gathered many demon cultivators. If there is no Yuanying Great Cultivator to guard it, accidents are likely to happen."

"Besides, Chongtai Daojun was an enemy of my husband in the past. Now he has joined our sect. Although there is a leader's order as evidence, I dare not believe it rashly."

After saying one sentence after another, Zuo Qiuying regained her composure. "You handled it properly."

Xu Xing nodded after hearing this, and did not continue to blame Zuo Qiuying. He continued to talk about this topic: "If I had not been to the sect in person, Chongtai Daojun's words would indeed be easily doubted, but now that this leader has arrived in the sect, this handling is inappropriate."

As the leader's wife, Zuo Qiuying took charge of the power of the Butian Sect, which was also a disguised way to protect his foundation. Maybe Zuo Qiuying has selfish motives

But no matter from the perspective of affection or business, it is not a wise choice for him to criticize Zuo Qiuying. After all, Zuo Qiuying is acting in his position.

Scolding Zuo Qiuying would undermine the power and majesty of the position of the leader of the Butian Sect. "Is it inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Zuo Qiuying's face changed slightly.

But at this time, she lowered her head, and no one saw this scene.

"The leader is wise in handling affairs. I will send a talisman letter to notify fellow Taoist Chongtai to return to the Butian Sect and meet the leader." Buxuzi heard the string sound and understood the elegant meaning. He immediately stepped forward and bowed.

In the two hundred years that Xu Xing has not returned to the Butian Sect, he is considered to be a party of Zuo Qiuying, supporting Zuo Qiuying, the leader's wife, to handle the affairs of the sect.

However, now that Xu Xing has returned, he has no reason to support Zuo Qiuying.

In the final analysis, Zuo Qiuying was able to take charge of the power of the Butian Sect because of Xu Xing's remaining prestige, not his own way of dealing with things.

If it weren't for the identity of the leader's wife, it would be a foolish dream for Zuo Qiuying, a Taoist cultivator, to want to command the Yuanying Daojun.

In addition, the news that Xu Xing had broken through the Yuanshen realm was also passed on to them by Chongtai Daojun. Even the followers who were loyal to Zuo Qiuying would rebel.

What's more, they were originally Xu Xing's party. "Good!"

Xu Xing nodded slightly. "I will obey the leader's order."

The other members of the sect also immediately expressed their attitudes when they saw this. "You can go to the hall now."

Xu Xing glanced at Zuo Qiuying who was looking down and said.

Then, he flicked his sleeves, stepped on the auspicious clouds, crossed the wide road, and sat on the main seat of the Butian Sect's main hall. A quarter of an hour later

The high-ranking members of the Bu Tian Sect sat down one by one, and the welcoming banquet began. Various spiritual food and drinks were placed on the table by the Fairy Princess and the Yellow Turban Warrior.

"Master, this is the teaching affairs of the sect over the past two hundred years. Please review it."

After taking the seat, Bu Xuzi took out a stack of files, bowed to Xu Xing, and used his magic power to send them to the table in front of Xu Xing.

"Today is the reception banquet, Taoist friend Buxu, there is no need to work Xu so hard." Xu Xing laughed and handed the case file back to Buxuzi's hands.

After this action fell into the eyes of the cultivators, they all had different reactions. Some were happy, some frowned, and some breathed a sigh of relief. "It's because I'm ignorant and ignorant."

Bu Xuzi shook his head and smiled, took back the case file, and punished himself with three drinks. Lean less.

There were people drinking wine and drinking wine in the hall, and the atmosphere was cheerful. --

--Two days later. Let's have a feast.

Xu Xing and Zuo Qiuying came to the inner hall together to take a rest.

"Husband, it's my fault. I didn't inform my husband, so I took over the power."

Entering the inner hall, Zuo Qiuying struggled for a while, then with tears in her eyes, she bowed down and apologized to Xu Xing.

She was able to stand out in the Butian Sect and gain power, so she was no fool.

She knew that today's scene was Xu Xing's attempt to intimidate her.

However, Xu Xing also took her face into consideration and did not embarrass her in public.

"Xu did not abide by the agreement and went to the Nanhua sect to marry his wife. This was a breach of contract. My wife took power for me and guarded my inheritance.

"Xu should be happy."

Xu Xing helped Zuo Qiuying, held her in his arms, and came to the bed in the inner hall. The fact that Zuo Qiuying is in power is not inconsistent with the fact that she is his wife.

When a female cultivator in the world of immortality marries a male cultivator and becomes a Taoist couple, it does not mean that she becomes a complete accessory to the male cultivator. Of course, because of this, Xu Xing values ​​​​his confidants such as Wu Miao and Dai Ji who are willing to go through life and death with him.

He and Zuo Qiu Ying became Taoist companions, and the position he promised to Zuo Qiu Ying's wife was just a political marriage between the Butian Sect and the Nanhua Sect.

“It’s just a pity”

"I and my husband did not hold a wedding, so they became husband and wife in a hurry." Zuo Qiuying, who was lying in Xu Xing's arms, stiffened for a few times and said shyly.

She has no feelings of rejection towards Xu Xing, but they don't get along with him often and their relationship is not very deep. "Xu has already seen his wife in her wedding dress. There is no need to do it again."

Xu Xing shook his head and smiled.

More than two hundred years ago, Zuo Qiuying had already worn a wedding dress once, and that was to marry Ruan Baimei, but because of his intervention, the marriage fell through.

"I heard that some male cultivators like to steal and grudge women."

"My husband and Ruan Baimei are enemies of each other, and he married a concubine with the Nanhua faction. Is it because of this?"

Zuo Qiuying stroked Xu Xing's chest, raised her head, and looked into Xu Xing's eyes, as if waiting for Xu Xing's answer.
