Chapter 81 The aftermath of the war
"My Lord, he actually killed Mu Renjie? He is the best master in Nanshanfang, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building!"
"Moreover, Mu Renjie seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. He is stronger than an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator. Even the foundation-building cultivators of Luoxia Sect are no match for him!"
"How come our master is so... so powerful, so unbelievable? Sister, is our master really just a low-grade spiritual root? Is he really only at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
"Could it be that the master has already established his foundation secretly?"
Lin Zixi obeyed the order and returned to the house.
At this critical moment, of course she had to listen carefully to find out what was going on.
But after listening to the conversation between Xiao Changqing and Gong Wansheng, she was stunned.
There is no need to say much about Xiao Changqing's talent in talismans. He is the undisputed number one in Nanshanfang. At present, even the talisman master Lu Qiu of that year is inferior to him.
Therefore, when the two sisters heard Xiao Changqing admit that he had already been promoted to the second-level talisman master, although they were shocked, they were able to accept it quickly.
He is already a genius in the art of talismans, so it is not particularly shocking if he becomes even more evil.
However, Lin Zixi could not accept the fact that Xiao Changqing's fighting ability could rival and threaten the late stage of foundation building.
Although Xiao Changqing is her master and she has completely surrendered to him, she is strong-willed and always believes that as a concubine, she must be a useful and valuable concubine and cannot rely entirely on her master.
Xiao Changqing's previous strength made her feel that she could still look up to him, and that she could also help a little if she worked hard.
For example, Guangju Tower, the monthly profit is also a good income for the foundation-building monks.
It was also because of Guangju Tower that Lin Zixi became somewhat complacent and thought that she was qualified to be Xiao Changqing's concubine, so she devoted herself to him.
But who would have known that right after she sacrificed herself, she discovered that the lord she knew was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real Xiao Changqing was far more powerful than she had imagined!
Even if you look up, you can never see the end!
Lin Zixi felt shocked, happy, and inevitably a little frustrated.
Promoted to the second-level Talisman Master, killed the best master of Nanshanfang who was in the late stage of foundation building...
How can she prove her worth in the future?
"The master is indeed only a low-grade spiritual root. As for his cultivation, the Luoxia Sect's foundation-building cultivator just said that the master is still at the ninth level of Qi Refining... It's just that the master's soul is too powerful, so he can use the legendary spiritual secrets that are usually only used by Jindan Zhenren! It seems that the master is not only a genius in the art of talismans, but also a natural talent in cultivation! Perhaps, the master will become the second legendary cultivator in the four hundred years of Dayu's immortal cultivation world to successfully build a foundation with low-grade spiritual roots!"
"No. My Lord is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he has the power to kill a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He has surpassed the legendary cultivator in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation Realm who established his foundation with a low-grade spiritual root four hundred years ago!"
Lin Ziyu said in surprise.
Unlike Lin Zixi's complicated mood, her sister's mind was much simpler and she was just happy.
The higher the master's cultivation, the stronger his strength, and the more outstanding his talent, the higher the status of his concubines will be!
For example, before, when my sister Lin Zixi opened Guangjulou, she was secretly targeted by the Mu family and almost closed down.
But after tonight, the master will kill Mu Renjie and take his place as the number one master in Nanshanfang.
Then who in Nanshanfang would dare to target them sisters?
In a sense, the sisters are only 'second to none' under Xiao Changqing!
"Sister, we were forced to ask the master for help and beg him to take us as concubines. At that time, we felt unfair and ashamed, and we lowered our status."
"Why does it seem like we are marrying up now even if we become the master's concubine?"
Lin Zixi seemed to be muttering to himself, feeling happy but also bitter.
"Becoming the master's concubine may be the greatest opportunity for us sisters in this life."
Lin Ziyu's cheeks flushed when she saw Xiao Changqing in the yard.
Because of admiration, and also because of thinking about the unbearable past when they were neighbors in the shantytown.
Not to mention being a concubine, she was so blind and ignorant at the time that she thought her master was not worthy of being her Taoist partner.
But in the end, she was lucky.
Although she missed the best opportunity, at least she became the master's concubine.
As for Zhou Yun'e, who had abandoned her master and followed a local monk with a house in Nanshanfang, I wonder how she will feel after tonight when the story of her master is completely spread in Nanshanfang...
Gong Wansheng left and went to the Cao family to notify the two foundation-building masters of the Cao family.
Xiao Changqing finally returned to the bedroom.
The Lin sisters immediately went forward and prepared to serve their master well once again.
For some reason, whether it was the extremely excited elder sister Lin Ziyu, or the younger sister Lin Zixi who was in a complicated mood, the admiration in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Changqing deepened a bit. Recalling the scene of Xiao Changqing calmly killing Mu Renjie just now, the two girls felt hot in their hearts, their bodies were moist, and they could not control themselves.
It's like taking an aphrodisiac...or in other words, a man's power and status are actually an aphrodisiac for women!
"Master, you must be tired from the fight just now. Let me give you a massage~"
"Please give me your orders~"
After Gong Wansheng left, Xiao Changqing finally didn't have to hide his tiredness. Seeing the two sisters' passionate expressions, he waved his hands unhappily and said, "You sisters know I'm tired from fighting, but you still try this on me. You don't want me to rest, right? I want to recuperate slowly in the practice room tonight..."
Why do you think I'm not strong enough and I'm avoiding fighting? Wait until I'm in good shape, then I'll slowly take care of you!
……
……
Nanshanfang is destined to be sleepless tonight.
The final battle took place in Cave No. 10 of the Yi area. The cultivators living in the Yi area all knew that this was Xiao Changqing's cave.
But throughout the night, no one dared to approach No. 10, let alone break in to check the situation.
I was afraid that there might still be danger in Room 10, and I might lose my life if I went in accidentally.
The entire Yizi Cave area was very quiet and no one dared to wander around.
It was not until the head of the Cao family, Cao Hao, personally came to the Yi-shaped Cave and paid a visit to Xiao Changqing that the crisis was over and the Yi-shaped Cave returned to its original state.
Next, this group of upper-level monks from Nanshanfang began to frantically inquire about what had happened last night.
Mu Renjie's death must be made public, and Gong Wansheng and Cao Hao have no intention of concealing it.
Therefore, not long after, the cultivators who ranked high in the Yi-shaped Cave Mansion learned roughly what had happened from the members of the Cao family.
Mu Renjie, the foundation-building monk behind Fenglou, and Manager Zhou of Lingfu Pavilion have all fallen! The latter two were killed by Mu Renjie, who was haunted by evil spirits and fell into darkness!
Gong Wansheng, the core disciple of Luoxia Sect, was in the late stage of foundation building. He was defeated after a fierce battle with Mu Renjie. In the end, Mu Renjie was eliminated by Xiao Changqing, who had already been promoted to the second-level talisman master...
A series of shocking news made everyone dizzy and for a moment they didn’t know whether the Cao family was joking!
Even though the previous news was abrupt and outrageous, everyone could barely believe it.
Especially Ruan Qingzhu, Zhu Youlong and others, who had experienced the incident of Ruan Qingzhu's son being possessed by evil spirits some time ago, knew how strange and terrifying evil spirits could be.
But how could it be possible for Xiao Changqing to kill Mu Renjie, the patriarch of the Mu family who was in the late stage of foundation building?
Even if Xiao Changqing was promoted to a second-level talisman master and had many second-level low-grade talismans in his hands, it would be impossible for him to kill Mu Renjie who was in the late stage of foundation building!
So some people doubt the authenticity of this matter.
There are even conspiracy theorists who believe that the Cao family is spreading false information.
I'm afraid that either the Cao family wants to restore their former glory and is unwilling to be suppressed by the Mu family, or the Luoxia Sect wants to support the Cao family and secretly eliminate the Mu family.
But a series of huge changes that took place in Nanshanfang afterwards forced the skeptics to start believing.
First, the Cao family began to comprehensively suppress and seize the territory and industries of the Mu family. The Mu family was in mourning, but no one dared to resist. Even the elders of the Mu family lost their voices.
In just a few days, the Mu family was driven off the altar from its position as the number one family in Nanshanfang...
The head of the family, Mu Renjie, did not show up, but Mu Chunfeng, the daughter of Mu Renjie and the eldest daughter of the Mu family, came forward and announced that she would give up all the assets of the Mu family. The family power completely retreated, and they obeyed the arrangements of the Cao family and the Luoxia Sect, not daring to make any complaints.
Then the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion also quickly confirmed the news that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Shopkeeper Zhou, had died, and the Luoxia Sect would soon arrange for a new shopkeeper to take over. For the time being, Xiao Changqing would temporarily take over the full management of the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion...
A few days later, another large Jindan sect, Baihua Valley, which was slow to realize the situation, also sent accurate news to Ruan Qingzhu, the owner of Baibao Tower, that the security of Nanshanfang would be mainly maintained by the Cao family and Xiao Changqing from now on.
This time.
The late-stage Qi-refining cultivators in the Yi-shaped Cave had to believe that things in Nanshanfang had really changed!
The former number one family and number one master in Nanshanfang have all become a thing of the past.
The Cao family, with two people in the foundation-building stage, and the head of the family, Cao Hao, who is in the middle stage of foundation-building, has once again become the number one family in Nanshanfang; but the number one cultivator in Nanshanfang, or the cultivator with the most deterrent power, is actually Xiao Changqing, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator who excels in the art of talismans!
This incredible and explosive news, after a week of fermentation and transmission, spread from Cave B to Cave C and Cave D, and finally spread among the vast group of independent cultivators.
Xiao Changqing, who was already a prominent figure in the group of independent cultivators, this time became a well-known figure in Nanshanfang.
It was no longer just the casual cultivators who bowed down to him, even many local cultivators and upper-level cultivators were in awe of Xiao Changqing.
Of course, even if all the hard evidence and facts are already before our eyes, there are still people who don't believe it and express doubts.
Many people believed that Xiao Changqing might have been promoted to the second-level Talisman Master, which was true. However, it was nonsense to say that Xiao Changqing was the best master in Nanshanfang and could threaten the late-stage foundation-building cultivators.
It was a lie fabricated by the decision-makers of Luoxia Sect and Nanshanfang to cover up the truth and maintain the stability of Nanshanfang.
But in fact, the situation in Nanshangfang may have begun to deteriorate, and it is very likely to follow the fate of Yinye Peak and be conquered by evil cultivators!
Suddenly, the originally peaceful and impregnable Nanshanfang seemed to be in danger of being hit by a storm.
