Chapter 24: I Have Self-Knowledge

May 14, 2018

Zhao Shenlu didn't guess the sect master's name until the end.

From Zhang Sanyi to Zou 66536, Zhao Shenlu never found the right direction, but fortunately, she didn't care about this matter seriously.

"Forget it, I'm used to calling you an old man anyway, this title can better reflect the deep friendship between you and me."

The sect master glanced at her: "It's not as thick-skinned as you." ”

Zhao Shenlu smiled: "After all, I am so beautiful, I should always have some privileges, then I will agree to cancel the succession." ”

"Thinking about the beauty, since you are so strongly opposed, I have strengthened my determination, that is, to pass on the throne to the predecessor of the sword spirit, I believe that Xiangzhou will have a bright and beautiful future under his leadership."

"Think about it carefully, that guy doesn't understand human nature, and even his loved ones can do it."

"Your loved ones are talking about you."

Zhao Shenlu sneered: "Don't gloat, if he can attack me, he may kill the entire Xiangzhou bloodshed!" Although he was a human in his previous life, he has already transcended human nature, if one day he thinks that the most beneficial future for the Xiangzhou continent is the future of human extinction, why do you think he doesn't do it to humans?! ”

The sect master touched his beard: "You're talking about a fantasy plot, is it called "The End"?" ”

"You old man is so idle that you can't even look at it?! Give me a good job! ”

"Paying attention to the cultural and entertainment life of the people of Xiangzhou is also part of the work."

"What kind of rotten street setting are you paying attention to, but even if it is a vulgar setting, you can't deny the practical significance of that idea."

The sect master said: "You are stealing the concept, it is true that the way of thinking of the predecessor of the sword spirit is very different from that of humans, but it does not mean that he is a madman who destroys the world at every turn, on the contrary, his thinking is more detailed and rational than that of humans. If one day he thinks that humanity is hopeless, it must be that humanity has fallen to the point of no return, and perhaps it is better to really perish. ”

"You trust him too much, don't you?"

"Without trust, there will be no consideration of passing on the position of the sect master to him, and the reason why the inheritance of the sect masters of the Holy Sect is difficult is that this trust is important and rare. And why wouldn't it be the same for you? If there is a mechanism in front of you now, as long as you pull it, you can marry the sword spirit senior, and the price is that half of the people in the Xiangzhou Continent will die, what will you do? ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "Buckle twice in a row, let me and him be husband and wife in the next life." ”

"You're completely hopeless!"

"What's wrong!? I didn't say that it's already very merciful to deduct you a hundred times in a row so that you will never be able to live beyond your life, what do you want me to do?! ”

The sect master suddenly felt a splitting headache and had to knead his temples vigorously.

"In short, it is precisely because I have seen too many people like you that I feel that it is better to hand over the future of Xiangzhou to human beings than to hand it over to the sword spirit."

Zhao Shenlu snorted, and also admitted that what the sect master said made sense, and perhaps he was more suitable to be the ruler of the human race than himself......

But that's not the problem.

Since it is difficult to persuade the old man to give up the idea of succession, he can only settle for the next best thing and choose a path with higher returns, but also higher risks.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Shenlu said again: "But have you considered the opposing voices?" Not to mention that few people in the world know his true identity now, even if you reveal his identity, how many people can believe in the legend of the Sword of Salvation? And how many people can resonate with the legend of 10,000 years ago? You handed over the most important position in Quanxiang Prefecture to a young man who has only been awake for 1 year and is almost unknown, but you are going to cause chaos in the world. ”

The Sect Master smiled, "Compared to the turmoil you caused in Golden Jade City, I think that the Sect Master's inheritance is already very mild. And Mr. Wang Jiu's reputation is not as insignificant as you said, he has gathered a wide range of supporters in Qingyun City in just a few months, and this kind of natural attraction is almost no less than when you debuted back then. ”

"Tsk......" Of course, Zhao Shenlu knows how much Wang Jiu is liked, in addition to his own endless charm, as the savior of the Xiangzhou world, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword will naturally attract the favor of others, and that kind of charm ability is even above her, the first beauty in Xiangzhou!

And this is also an important reason why he can attract women wherever he goes! If it weren't for his own lack of interest in human lust, he would have sown the world long ago!

And this is also one of the reasons why Zhao Shenlu opposes Wang Jiu's succession as the sect master, although she is not afraid of any challenge, but she is not happy to face all kinds of bewitching sluts, a Shen girl is enough to make her upset.

"Then let me change the reason, it's okay for you to appoint him as the heir, but as the former sect master, at least pave the way for the successor, right?"

The sect master frowned: "Are you saying that I should personally take down you, the demon king of the mixed world, to please the people of the world, and create a favorable public opinion environment for the succession of the sword spirit seniors?" ”

"Hehe, as soon as you're older, you should dream less, you may not be able to beat me now."

The sect master glanced at Zhao Shenlu coldly, and said lightly: "Don't underestimate the two-thousand-year inheritance of the Holy Sect. ”

"Don't underestimate my harvest in Wanxiangyuan in the past two days."

The sect master's face changed: "You guy! ”

"No wonder there were so few things in Yulin and Huajiang at the beginning, I wonder if you have worked so hard to develop the relics of the flood wilderness, I can't imagine that there are still a lot of stocks. Now that I have a new understanding of your Holy Sect's inheritance of exercises, I think that even if the two of us fight for our lives, my side has a better chance of winning. ”

The Sect Master said, "Do you think I'm going to fight you alone? ”

Zhao Shenlu was surprised: "Do you want to implicate innocent people?" I don't think Sister Qinlian and her 3-year-old son in Dongyuan have nothing to do with this matter at all, why would you sacrifice them? ”

The sect master's face turned red instantly: "Zhao Shenlu!" You're so shameless! ”

"Hey! You were the one who brought the innocent people in the first place! Or an orphan and a widow, do you have humanity! ”

The sect master was really angry and gritted his teeth, the fairy Qinlian in the East Garden was the widow of an elder of the previous Holy Sect, and the elder died unfortunately while exploring the ruins of the flood wilderness, leaving orphans and widows to cultivate in the Wanxiang Garden, but he was actually taken out as a hostage by this slut!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an immortal cultivator who survived the Immortal and Demon War, and he is really invincible without a lower limit.

But on the other hand, the sect master also had to admit that this Zhao Shenlu was indeed fully qualified for lawlessness.

"So what are you going to do? How should I pave the way for him? ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "I think the best policy is for the Holy Sect to come forward and arrange my marriage with him, and announce in front of the people of the world that Zhao Shenlu, the demon girl who has done all kinds of evil, lawlessness, and has plagued the world for decades, has been subdued...... Hey, old man, what are you laughing at? ”

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be so self-aware."

"As the first beauty in the world, I have always been very self-aware, thank you." Zhao Shenlu unceremoniously showed his self-knowledge, and then said, "In short, a person who can make peerless demon girls fall in love will not be so abrupt when he ascends to the throne of the Holy Sect Master, so if you want to pass on the throne to him, arrange the marriage between us as soon as possible." ”

“…… Would he agree to such a thing? ”

Zhao Shenlu sighed: "If I agreed so simply, I would have succeeded a long time ago, why should I be a peerless demon girl for so many years." ”

"Don't make your recklessness seem to be very bitter."

"So this requires you, the sect master who has the world in mind, to contribute, if you can persuade him to marry me, you can not only properly complete the inheritance of the sect master, but also eradicate a disaster for the world, the best of both worlds."

The Sect Master frowned, "This matter sounds reasonable. ”

"It made sense."

"It's just, why does such a reasonable plan come out of your mouth?"

"What do you think I'm for!?" Zhao Shenlu frowned, "Can't I put forward a constructive opinion?" ”

The sect master asked, "We have known each other for so many years, have you put forward any constructive suggestions?" ”

"I've raised a lot of them, but you've vetoed them."

"Like moving the capital to Golden Jade City?"

"What's wrong, even Tiancheng has been the capital of Xiangzhou for two thousand years, the old forces are intertwined, the disadvantages have been deep, and the high cost of living brought by the megacity has also overwhelmed many people, what's wrong with moving the capital to the vibrant Jinyu City at this time?"

"You Golden Jade City are qualified to say that the cost of living in Liantian City is high!? And your proposal to move the capital is clearly to seize power and replace the Holy Sect! ”

"Your Holy Sect has been the leader of Xiangzhou for 2,000 years, and the old ideas are intertwined, and the accumulated evils have been deeply ......."

"Enough, it's a waste of time to talk to you!"

"You were the one who started this senseless dispute first, okay! Why do you have to doubt my good intentions!? ”

The sect master sneered: "Haven't you heard the story of the wolf coming? Anyway, thank you for your advice, I already have a way in my heart now. ”

"Eh, come and criticize me."

"You're dreaming!"

Early morning of May 14, 2018

After the sect master finally sent Zhao Shenlu away, the time was already early in the morning, Wanxiangyuan ushered in the clear morning light of a new day, and the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's too tiring to quarrel with Zhao Shenlu, and it's even more torturous than exploring the wilderness. After all, the exploration of the flood wilderness failed, and at most there were no dead bodies. But if Zhao Shenlu doesn't deal with it properly, it will definitely become a scourge that endangers all mankind.

Fortunately, the time when this scourge is rampant is not long in coming, as long as her only nemesis, Wang Jiu, is supported to the position of sect master...... You can just wait for the show to play out.

And the method of supporting Wang Jiu's ascension to the throne is also very simple - Zhao Shenlu is not wrong about one thing, as a senior, he should pave the way for Wang Jiu.

And this road is called the Qinglian Road. By letting Wang Jiu restore the Qinglian Sword Codex, he was gracious to the Qinglian Academy, and let Wang Jiu ascend to the throne with the help of the prestige of the academy. Although the effect is definitely not as good as Zhao Shenlu's best strategy of subduing the demon girl, it can kill two birds with one stone, and it is more secure in the eyes of the sect master.

Next, if he can see with his own eyes the depressed and helpless face of Zhao Shenlu when he was executed by his lover, he will have no regrets when he goes to the ruins of the desolation. And future generations will definitely remember his great deeds as the suzerain's master who strategized and cut off traitors.

With such an expectation, the Sect Master took Wang Jiu to the Qinglian Sword Academy in Liantian City that morning to meet with the Elders who were currently in charge of the Sword Academy as the current vice president.

However, after summoning the gathering of elders, the sect master directly ushered in the first blow.

"Restore the Qinglian Sword Codex? Don't have that much trouble, right? It's not an indispensable thing, if it's lost, it's lost, and in the future, we just completely change back to the name of the academy, saving the trouble of competing with the Wuxiang Sword Academy for the name of the Sword Academy. ”

Shang Shang, the number one elder in the Qinglian Sword Academy, said a word that made the sect master's face turn pale.
