The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 851
Chapter 851 Sect Master (1)
Within Myriad Devil Palace, there was a gloomy and sorrowful atmosphere. Important figures were standing in Myriad Devil Hall, silent and extremely oppressive.
The two hall masters stood above and looked down, saying, “Have the important figures of our Myriad Devil Sect returned safely?”
“That’s right. Everything that is alive has returned.” Great Elder said.
“How’s the loss?”
“Twenty-one Void Realm experts have died! As for Xiantian Sect disciples, thousands of them have died. In addition, the Devil Sect forces on the outskirts have basically been completely wiped out!”
“As for the territories on the surface, they are all lost. The Daluo Dynasty has also been destroyed, and the lands of the four continents of the Central Region have all fallen into Great Zhou’s hands!”
Second Hall Master couldn’t help but sigh, “Everyone is fortunate to be able to return alive! This time, Devil Master Lord died under Emperor Hong Wu’s ambush. It’s really careless. It’s not that we aren’t strong enough, it’s just that the enemy is too cunning!”
“What should we do next?” Someone asked.
“Let’s not talk about revenge for now. I don’t have the strength to fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty anymore. I can only endure it for the time being!” The Second Hall Master said in a deep voice.
“However, the Myriad Devil Sect cannot be left without a sect master for a day. Therefore, the most urgent matter now is to elect a new sect master!”
“According to the tradition of the Myriad Devil Sect over the years, one of them is chosen from the Holy Sons of the Devil Dao. Which one of them do you think is more suitable for the position of Sect Master?”
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak. The situation is still unclear, and we still need to straighten out our thinking so as not to stand in the wrong queue.
After all, the Demon Sect’s Sect Master position wasn’t something that only the Demon Dao Saint Son could take. There were other choices!
The Great Elder said, “Now that the Saint Sons of the Devil Dao are not here, why don’t you call them back first and hold the election then?”
“Alright, quickly send a message to Demon Saint You Luo and Yan Mo Tuo, and have them hurry back!” Said Second Hall Master.
“Isn’t there three in Holy Son of the Devil? What about His Highness Li Qing?” Someone asked.
“Li Qing? Have you seen any traces of him?” The Second Hall Master asked.
“I think he’s dead …”
“Since you haven’t returned to Myriad Devil Palace, you’re most likely dead!”
The Second Hall Master frowned and said, “Don’t randomly guess here. Who has definite evidence?”
Someone stood up and said, “I personally saw Emperor Hong Wu personally chase after His Highness Li Qing and smash him to pieces with a single punch!”
“Emperor Hongwu personally chased after him? Then Li Qing really will die without a doubt!” Everyone’s expressions changed.
“I can only blame his bad luck. He was targeted by Emperor Hong Wu.” Someone laughed coldly and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
“Since that’s the case, then there are only two Holy Son of the Devil left. Hurry up and send a message for them to return. Three days later, the Diabolism Holy Scripture will be held to elect a new Sect Leader of Myriad Devil!” Said Second Hall Master.
“Second Hall Master, I have another suggestion!” The Second Elder stood up and said carefully.
“Oh? Do you have any suggestions?” The Second Hall Master asked.
“Right now, the Myriad Devil Sect has suffered a new defeat, heavy casualties, and its strength has fallen to a low point. In such an extraordinary period, if a Void Realm expert is allowed to take the position of Sect Master, I’m afraid he won’t be able to convince the crowd. At that time, there will inevitably be another wave of turmoil, and people’s hearts will be moved.”
The Second Hall Master narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “So what do you mean?”
“I suggest that the Second Hall Master take over the position of Sect Master. With his tyrannical strength, calming the hearts of the people is the best choice!”
Everyone cried out in alarm. They didn’t expect Second Elder to actually say such an idea. Their faces were filled with shock.
The Second Hall Master looked at the Third Hall Master with a meaningful expression and asked, “Third Hall Master, do you have any thoughts?”
“I don’t have any ideas. I don’t oppose or approve. Whoever you choose as your sect master has nothing to do with me.” The Third Hall Master said indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.
This Second Hall Master was the strength of the Three Tribulations of the Dao Realm, while the Third Hall Master was the two tribulations of the Dao Realm. His strength was not very strong in the Dao Realm, but he was an absolute authority in the Myriad Devil Sect.
If he could obtain the consent of the Third Hall Master, then there would be no further obstacles for the Second Hall Master to assume the position of Sect Master.
However, things didn’t go so smoothly. Just as the Third Hall Master was about to accept this matter and cook the raw rice, an aura suddenly came from outside Myriad Devil Palace. It was incomparably majestic and terrifying.
Everyone’s expressions changed. When they sensed this aura, they all understood the origin of the other party.
It was none other than the Blood God Son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect!
“What? Don’t you welcome me in?” The Blood God Child’s voice sounded.
Second Hall Master’s expression changed. His divine sense scanned around and found that Xue Shenzi was only a blood shadow avatar this time. There wasn’t much threat. He slowly said, “Invite Xue Shenzi in.”
A moment later, Xue Shenzi Shi Ran walked up to the main hall with an imposing aura. He said to the crowd, “You must be discussing the position of the new Sect Master, right?”
“That’s right. May I ask what Fellow Daoist Xue Shenzi has to say?” Second Hall Master said indifferently.
“I don’t think you guys have to choose anymore. You can let my Blood Sea Devil Sect take over Myriad Devil Palace and merge the two families together. This way, your strength can increase dramatically. What do you think?” Said Xue Shenzi.
“Are you kidding me? Our Myriad Devil Sect is far from exhausted. Why did you invite your Blood Sea Devil Sect to join the Myriad Devil Palace?” Second Hall Master sneered.
Xue Shenzi chuckled and said, “Your Myriad Devil Sect has always been based on the Myriad Devil Palace. Although you can guarantee that there will be no mistakes, you are still greatly restricted!”
“The Myriad Devil Sect has long been known as the number one force in the Devil Dao, but ask yourselves, how often do you truly live up to your name? In the past 10,000 years, only when the Devil Lord Yin Tianhong is around can you be worthy of it!”
“Thousands of years ago, the Yin Yang Devil Gate was the strongest in the Devil Dao, and then the Evil King Sect … where did you get your Myriad Devil Sect’s turn?”
“Right now, the power of your Myriad Devil Sect has only just reached its peak. However, with the death of Devil Master Yin Tianhong, it instantly collapsed. The scenery of First Devil Gate hasn’t been enjoyed for long. Now that it has once again fallen into a low ebb, will you all be convinced?”
The Second Hall Master said coldly, “What do you mean by saying so much?”
“If you allow me to enter the Myriad Devil Palace, then I can bring you back to the peak of Diabolism and lead you to an even more glorious place. In the future, you can even launch the Great War of the Righteous Demons!”
‘”If you reject my good intentions, then the Myriad Devil Sect will once again become an insignificant small faction and will even be targeted by our Blood Sea Devil Sect. What awaits you in the future will be to guard the Myriad Devil Palace and live a dull and boring life until you die! Are you really willing to do this?”
“You don’t have to say anything else. We won’t be fooled by your cup!” The Second Hall Master refused without hesitation.
“You won’t be fooled by my cup, but other people may not. Everyone is selfish, let alone Diabolism!” The Blood God Child chuckled.
The Second Hall Master looked down and saw many elders’ eyes flickering, their faces hesitating. Clearly, they were moved by the Blood God Child’s words.
Accepting Devil Sect from the Blood Sea into the Myriad Devil Palace would allow them to dominate the Diabolism in the future. It would be better than waiting for death in this boring place.
The Blood God Child said, “Since ancient times, it is not unprecedented for other powers to enter the Myriad Devil Palace. There are even quite a few times!”
“If it weren’t for that, the Myriad Devil Palace wouldn’t have lasted until now! This is a tradition of the Myriad Devil Sect, so why must you reject it?”
“Every time you merge, you will be able to raise the power of the Myriad Devil Sect to a higher level. This is definitely a good thing. I believe you can figure out the pros and cons of this!”
Someone said, “Senior Xue Shenzi’s words are not unreasonable. If the Blood Sea Devil Sect enters the Myriad Devil Palace, not only will we not suffer any losses, we will also receive a lot of benefits!”
“That’s right, I think I can think about it!” Many people nodded.
“No, no! The Myriad Devil Sect hasn’t reached that level yet. It would be better for Second Hall Master to take over!” Second Elder hurriedly said.
“What do you think of Great Elder?” Someone asked.
“I think it would be more appropriate to choose one of the two Holy Sons of the Devil Dao. This is more in line with the Myriad Devil Sect’s system!” Great Elder said slowly.
Dozens of elders were discussing one another, each holding their own opinions, without a single voice.
Second Hall Master’s gaze was cold and his heart was extremely angry. Originally, he was about to ascend to the position of Sect Master, but this Xue Shenzi ran out and messed up the situation, causing his good fortune to be ruined.
Unfortunately, those elders were also confused by the Xue Shenzi cup. There were really many people who agreed to this matter. It was simply stupid!
In fact, the most important thing about the position of Sect Master Myriad Devil was the control of the Myriad Devil Palace!
As Second Hall Master, he controlled the power of the second main hall. He only controlled a small portion of the Myriad Devil Palace. It was absolutely impossible for him to forcefully become the Sect Master!
There was only one way to become the Sect Master, and that was to obtain the approval of many elders. Only in this way could he obtain the recognition of the Myriad Devil Palace!
Therefore, even though he was powerful now, there was really no good way to forcefully seize the position of Sect Master by force.
Unless he leaves Myriad Devil Palace and starts his own business.
However, if he left Myriad Devil Palace, then he wouldn’t be considered an orthodox sect of the Myriad Devil Sect. It didn’t have much to do with the Myriad Devil Sect. It was equivalent to building a new sect. This was definitely not what he wanted!
…
Just as they were arguing endlessly over the position of Sect Master, Li Qing returned to Myriad Devil Palace and entered.
As soon as they entered the gate, a figure flashed out from the side and blocked the way. It was surprisingly Yin Qianyu.
“Eh, it’s you. I was just looking for you.” Li Qing took out the Profound Heaven Formation Breaking Drum and handed it to her. “Thanks to this item, otherwise I would have died in the hands of Emperor Hong Wu.”
Yin Qianyu held the Profound Heaven Formation Breaking Drum in her hand and couldn’t help but reveal a pleasantly surprised expression, “Have you completely repaired it?”
“That’s right. Since I borrowed this item for use, I’ll treat it as a reward.” Li Qing nodded.
Yin Qianyu put away the Xuantian Formation Breaking Drum and said, “Now is not the time to talk about this matter. You still have more important things to do.”
“What is it?” Li Qing asked.
“Right now, all the important figures in the hall are gathered there, discussing the position of the next Sect Master!” Yin Qianyu said.
“Oh? I wonder what the result is?” Li Qing asked.
“Originally, that Second Hall Master wanted to take over the position of Sect Master. Before you Holy Son of the Devil returned, you should have cooked some raw rice to complete this matter. Who would have thought that at the last moment, Xue Shenzi would appear and also want to fight for the position of Sect Master?” Yin Qianyu elaborated on this matter.
“An outsider like Xue Shenzi, why are you competing for the position of Sect Master of Myriad Devil?” Li Qing was stunned.
‘”You don’t know that the position of Sect Master Myriad Devil is not always certain. It is possible for him to be elected within his sect or invite outside forces to join the Myriad Devil Palace. This has happened many times and has formed a tradition.”
“Then Xue Shenzi came here today because he wanted to enter the Myriad Devil Palace. If the two great demonic powers merge together, they will be able to revive their powers.”
Li Qing couldn’t help but frown and said, “Do you dare to ask the many elders to agree?”
“Of course I won’t agree easily. I’m still quarreling about this matter.” Yin Qianyu said.
“Did you stop me here to tell me about this? Do you think I have a chance to compete with Second Hall Master and that old Xue Shenzi?” Li Qing asked.
“Under normal circumstances, of course, there is no chance. But what if there is such a thing?” Yin Qianyu took out a black scroll.
Li Qing’s pupils constricted. He could feel the terrifying willpower inside. Obviously, it was not left behind by ordinary people. He asked, “What is this thing?”
Yin Qianyu opened the scroll and saw a line of words written on it, “If I die, Holy Son Li Qing will take over the position of Sect Master!”
On the sign, it was written: Yin Tianhong personally!
