Chapter 550: Deputy Headmaster!
“I am now following the order of the 96th generation head of the Divine Sky Sect, Supreme Lord Dongfang Qing.
Xu Shenxiao Sect's great elder Dongfang Xiong takes on the power of acting as the sect leader.
All the disciples of the Xu Shenxiao Sect practiced together and took on the power of deputy leader.
Everyone in the Shenxiao Sect respects this order.
But those who disobey shall be expelled from the sect as a warning to others!"
As Dongfang Xiong's voice rang out, the Shenxiao Spirit Master in his hand, which represented the supreme authority of the sect leader, suddenly shone brightly.
In an instant, Dongfang Xiong's words were transmitted to every corner of the Shenxiao Sect's mountain gate.
In an instant, the entire Shenxiao Sect was in an uproar.
Since the headmaster Dongfang Qing is not here, there is no problem for Dongfang Xiong, the great elder, to take over as the acting headmaster and temporarily hold power.
But Qi Xiu, a third-generation disciple who had only been in the sect for a hundred years...
He actually took over as deputy headmaster? !
"Yun Xiong, you are so awesome this time. You have a deputy head disciple backing you up. Why don't you walk around like a tyrant in the sect?"
The three generations of disciples from the inner and outer sects didn't quite understand, but the elders of the Yun generation who had just witnessed Qi Xiu defeating Gao Tianxiong vaguely understood the deep meaning of the sect leader's actions, and couldn't help but joked to Taoist Yun Xiong, who also looked a little surprised.
Although the elders of the Yun generation couldn't help feeling a little strange about a youngster who had only been in the sect for a hundred years becoming their immediate superior.
But the world of cultivation has always prioritized those who have achieved success and respected the strong.
Although Qi Xiu's aptitude is still shallow, his strength is now firmly at the top among the Taoist True Lords.
None of these uncles and aunts of the Yun generation were sure to defeat him.
If they encounter a crisis as big as Gao Tianxiong's again, they do not have Qi Xiu's means and strength to deal with it.
So after just a moment's hesitation, the elders of the Yun generation readily accepted the fact that Qi Xiu became the deputy head of the Shenxiao Sect.
In the meantime, Dongfang Qing has been subtly changing the mechanisms within the sect and reshaping everyone's mentality and world outlook over the years.
This allows the Shenxiao Sect, whether it is the elders or disciples, to have a more advanced level of thinking than other ancient sects.
Otherwise, if it were any other ancient sect or powerful family, allowing a junior who had been in the sect for a hundred years to ride on their heads and hold an important position above everyone else, the curtain of internal strife and bloody storm would probably be drawn soon.
"Go away, don't interrupt me."
Waving his sleeves to drive away his fellow disciples who were teasing him, Taoist Yun Xiong's eyes showed both relief and a bit of loss.
What makes me happy is that I never expected that the disciple whom I accepted out of admiration for his talent has now gone further than I have.
The feeling of loss is also because the child who used to hide under his wings has unknowingly grown into a big tree that protects him.
"Ugh……"
With a long sigh, Taoist Yun Xiong raised his head slightly, and a terrifying flash of lightning suddenly burst out from his half-closed eyes:
“It seems that I have to work hard to make my young disciple surpass me, even though that child is indeed a monster.
But even so, I can't admit defeat!
Yunqing, come on, do you dare to go with me to the Thirty-Sixth Sealed Demon Cave?"
Seeing Taoist Yun Xiong, who turned around and walked away with Taoist Yun Qing, who looked bewildered, several elders of the Yun generation looked at each other and muttered in a low voice:
"What happened to Yunxiong? Did he take the wrong medicine?"
"What do you mean he took the wrong medicine? This old guy has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat. Now that his young disciple has surpassed him, he just refuses to admit defeat.
Poor Yun Qing, at his old age he still has to accompany Yun Xiong to challenge the thirty-six levels of the Demon Cave.
Alas, luckily he didn’t target me.”
Looking at Taoist Master Yun Qing who was being dragged away by Taoist Master Yun Xiong while wailing all the way, a group of elders with the surname Yun responded with eyes that wished them good luck and watched the two of them gradually go away.
……
After crossing the thousand-foot-high gate surrounded by surging green light and golden flames, Qi Xiu felt his mind cleared by the rich spiritual energy that rushed towards him.
“No matter how many times I come to this Dao League, I always feel a sense of the good fortune of heaven and earth.”
Returning to this Daomeng Cave, Qi Xiu felt slightly emotional.
This Taoist Alliance Cave Heaven can be said to be the ultimate application of the Yu Bi expansion method. Not only is its area vast and boundless, but the Taoist spiritual energy contained inside is also extremely rich. No other mountain gate blessed land of any ancient religion or powerful family in the world can compare with it.
"The headmaster left a message, saying that Zhao Baiye had previously left the set of [Twenty-Four Sea-fixing Magical Pearls] with Mr. Tao Xingzhi in order to ensure fairness.
But later, Mr. Tao had important matters to attend to and could not wait for me at the Taoist Alliance, so he left the treasure to the God of Wealth, Shen Wansan.
Let him pass it on to me.
He was famous for his calculating skills, taking advantage of others and becoming the top businessman in the Middle-earth.
The [Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls] have fallen into his hands. Without the company of the headmaster, it would be difficult to retrieve them.”
The last time when he came to the Taoist Alliance Cave Heaven, Qi Xiu had seen the True God of Wealth.
Although he didn't behave abnormally that time.
However, Qi Xiu was very keen and noticed through the art of observing qi that when this Yuanshen Zhenzun saw Zhao Baiye taking out the [Twenty-four Sea-fixing Divine Pearls], there was a very slight disturbance in the qi of this Yuanshen Zhenzun.
Obviously, the general manager of Shen's Shopping Center was also tempted.
As soon as Qi Xiu arrived at the Taoist Alliance Cave, a familiar figure came rushing over on a yellow cloud.
It was the Taoist priest Huang Yan who had previously introduced him to the head monk.
"Nice to meet you again, Brother Huang Yan."
Huang Yan is a kind person. The last time Qi Xiu came to the Taoist Alliance, he learned a lot about the Taoist Alliance's Cave Heaven from him, and the two of them are quite familiar with each other.
"So it's Junior Brother Qi. I was wondering why someone suddenly came to visit. He doesn't look like a True Master from the looks of it."
Huang Yan smiled and bowed to Qi Xiu, saying:
"I heard about the bet between Junior Brother and the thief Zhao, but I didn't expect that you actually came back from the Blood Lotus World.
This journey must have been very hard. "
"The snow and wind are very strong, but the harvest is also rich." Dongfang Qing had a fair opinion of this disciple of Qinglian Zhenzun. Although his aptitude and cultivation were a little lacking, his character and temper were excellent. He also told Qi Xiu that if he had the chance, he could get close to him.
"That's good, that's good. So why are you here today..."
"The stakes for the game with Zhao Baiye were placed with Mr. Tao, but Mr. Tao had important matters to attend to, so he left the items to Shopkeeper Shen. I'm here to pick them up today."
After explaining his purpose, Qi Xiu said:
"Brother, do you know where Manager Shen is now? Could you please let me know?"
"Okay, okay. The God of Wealth doesn't come to the Taoist Alliance very often, but he has been stationed in the alliance for the past two years. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go and tell them and I'll be right back."
In response to Qi Xiu's request, Taoist Huang Yan immediately rode on a cloud and went to convey the message to the God of Wealth Shen Wansan.
Just as Qi Xiu was quietly waiting there, waiting for Taoist Huang Yan to return with his message, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Baby, you are so lucky.
The main material for the great pill you want to refine is here."
