Chapter 839 Three Successors
Chapter 839 Three Successors
Dongzhou, southwest of the Ghost Control Sect, Kuixing City.
Three huge "ghost boats" are suspended in the air. These are the means of transportation built by the Ghost Control Sect themselves. In terms of size, they are no less than the Thunder Boats of the Thunder Control Sect.
But the size is the only thing that's not bad. There's no comparison in other aspects, such as appearance and performance, which are worlds apart.
On the ghost boat, Li Ke stood behind Ge Xun, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Master, we have been staying here for three days. Are we waiting for someone?"
A smile appeared on Ge Xun's pale old face. He said, "Well, we are waiting for the teams from the Yu Lei Sect and Yu Shou Sect~"
Li Ke was puzzled and asked, "We can go by ourselves, why should we wait for them?"
Ge Xun smiled and said, "Ke'er, remember this: the three major sects of Dongzhou must be united in front of the outside world, at least to make people in other states feel that we are united.
Of the five continents, Zhongzhou had been peaceful for over a hundred thousand years, refusing to participate in any activities. But as long as that person remained, the people of the other four continents dared not act rashly.
Among the four states in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, the strongest is South State and the weakest is North State. North State is a cold and bitter place with barren land and sparse population, so it is useless to take it.
Xizhou has been on good terms with Nanzhou for many years, so only our Dongzhou is left to confront Nanzhou.
Master doesn't want to admit it, but the most important force in the confrontation between Dongzhou and Nanzhou is still the Yu Lei Sect."
Today, Ge Xun discussed the continental situation with Li Ke for the first time. Nanzhou's long-held ambition to annex Dongzhou was a common knowledge, as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.
Nanzhou has coveted the secret realm of the Withered Bone Realm in Dongzhou for years. Not only does the Withered Bone Realm produce demon-companion grass, but the spatial rifts within can help Void-Refining cultivators comprehend the laws of space and achieve breakthroughs.
Although a large number of cultivators die every time it is opened, the major and minor sects in Dongzhou have never missed the Dry Bone Realm.
Li Ke listened to Ge Xun's teachings and nodded, saying, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
Just as the two masters and apprentices finished their conversation, five huge shadows suddenly appeared in the distance, followed by a loud rumbling noise. Ge Xun said calmly, "They are here. Follow Master to greet Sect Leader Shangguan."
Five beams of light flew out from the ghost boat and landed in front of the leading thunder boat. Ge Xun bowed slightly and said, "Master Shangguan, you are finally here~"
Inside the Thunder Boat, Shangguan Yun smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, something delayed me for a few days. Sect Master Ge, please forgive me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of Ge Xun, and four figures appeared: Shangguan Yun, Liu Qian, Xin'er and Pan Chengfeng.
Pan Chengfeng's legs just grew out two days ago, and now he finally has all four limbs intact.
Pan Chengfeng quickly bowed and said, "Disciple Pan Chengfeng greets Sect Master Ge and all the elders." Xin'er also followed Pan Chengfeng and saluted the big men of the Ghost Control Sect.
Then Pan Chengfeng looked at Li Ke and said, "Brother Li, long time no see~"
Li Ke returned the greeting and said, "Junior Brother Pan, I heard that your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage caused quite a stir this time. You are indeed worthy of being a Savage Saint Body. I admire you very much~"
Pan Chengfeng looked embarrassed and thought to himself, "Damn it, has this matter even spread to the Ghost Control Sect?"
Pan Chengfeng was running around without any limbs, and he thought no one knew about it? This matter had already spread among all the major sects.
However, it is already known to many people that each of the three major sects in Dongzhou has a disciple with a rare physique, so there is no need to hide it, and it cannot be concealed even if you want to.
They were all such large sects, with millions of disciples. Which sect didn't have spies from other sects? As long as the core disciples weren't infiltrated, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As for the servants and outer disciples, not only were there too many of them, but they also rotated too quickly, making it impossible to take care of them all.
Shangguan Yun nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please follow me to the boat for a gathering. As for these younger generations, let them get acquainted with each other privately~"
Several of the big guys left with Shangguan Yun, leaving only Pan Chengfeng, Xin'er, and Li Ke. Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, the elders are talking about theirs, let's talk about ours. Follow me~"
Pan Chengfeng took Xin'er and Li Ke to his room, and in the Lei Zhou, a figure was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. This person was Yu Jiancheng from the Yu family.
Since boarding the ship, Pan Chengfeng has been following Shangguan Yun for more than ten days. The two of them were actually talking and laughing. Especially the kindness Shangguan Yun treated Pan Chengfeng, which really made him jealous.
Now Shangguan Yun brought Pan Chengfeng to greet the leaders of the Yugui Sect. Even a blind man could understand what was going on! This was to train Pan Chengfeng to become the next leader of the Yulei Sect.
Pan Chengfeng, Liu Yuexin and Li Ke, these three are undoubtedly the future successors of the three major sects in Dongzhou!
Yu Shaoming, who was beside Yu Jiancheng, felt the chill on him, patted Yu Jiancheng on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Cousin, let them be proud for a while.
When the competition comes, let everyone see who is the true genius and who is more qualified to inherit the throne of the Yu Lei Sect's leader."
Yu Jiancheng said coldly, "This Pan Chengfeng has some strength, but he is definitely no match for me! Just wait, I will definitely crush him under my feet!"
Pan Chengfeng returned to his room and had no idea that someone was trying to step on him to get to the top. He was warmly welcoming Li Ke and had already prepared delicious wine and food.
The three of them sat around the table. Pan Chengfeng poured Li Ke a glass of fine wine, then changed to another wine pot and poured Xin'er a glass of fruit wine.
Then he picked up the wine glass and said, "Junior brother, let me toast to Senior Brother Li. Congratulations to Senior Brother Li on his promotion to the head of the Ghost Control Sect~"
Li Ke picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying: "I am happy for you. Who among those present here is not a sect leader?" Xin'er has long been the saint of the Beast Taming Sect and the next generation leader of the Beast Taming Sect.
Li Ke was promoted to the eldest son of the clan last year, and only Pan Chengfeng still has an unknown title. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is the eldest son of the Yu Lei Sect.
Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Li, do you know anything about the geniuses from other states in this continental genius competition?"
Speaking of this, Li Ke revealed a trace of solemnity and said, "Master told me. To be honest, before he said it, I still had some confidence that I could get a good result in the competition. After that..."
Xin'er also looked troubled and said, "Grand Master said that this competition has the most geniuses in history, and each one is extremely powerful. She told me to act within my capabilities and prioritize my own safety."
After Xin'er advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she contracted with the 'Golden Horned Rat King', a peak-level sixth-order demon king.
In addition, Xin'er can add various buffs to the Demon King, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the strength of the Golden Horned Rat King is at the level of the Demon Lord.
But even so, Liu Qian judged that Xin'er could not make it to the end, so she asked her to do it within her ability.
Pan Chengfeng also put away his relaxed smile and said, "If Dongzhou still comes in last in this competition, does Senior Brother Li know the temper of our Evil Emperor?"
Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "How could I not know? Master said that the last time we came in last in the East Continent Competition, the main responsibility lay with our Yu Gui Sect. We were completely wiped out by the Zi Jin Mansion of South Continent, and all 10,000 people died!
If we don't get good results this time, the Ghost Control Sect may be expelled by the Evil Emperor! In the future, the three major sects in Dongzhou may be the Thunder Control Sect, the Beast Control Sect, and the Azure Cloud Sect! "
The so-called expulsion does not mean that the Evil Emperor wants to destroy the Ghost Control Sect, that would be cutting off his own arm.
Dongzhou's overall strength is already weaker than Nanzhou's. If the Yugui Sect is destroyed before the Qingyun Sect is developed, wouldn't that be giving Nanzhou an advantage?
The so-called expulsion means that the Evil Emperor no longer recognizes the Yugui Sect. The resources distributed every hundred years will not be given to the Yugui Sect, but to the Qingyun Sect.
Although it will not have much impact on the Yugui Sect in the short term, over the years, as one grows stronger, the other will decline, and the Qingyun Sect will definitely surpass the Yugui Sect.
The Qingyun Sect, which was recognized by the Evil Emperor and was protected by the Evil Emperor, did not dare to act rashly.
