Great Freedom Demon Emperor is dressed in a silver robe. Looking at the slightly dim Jade Seal with a bald head in front of him, it's a bit... funny.

The enthronement ceremony was completed. The Myriad Demon Banner in his hand stirred up a mighty momentum. When Wuzhi saw this thing, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

But when I look at Great Freedom Demon Emperor again, I feel very sympathetic:

Because Demon Emperor Dao Fruit... it's lame.

"Zheng Fa..."

Great Freedom Demon Emperor murmured in a low voice, and the sound was like the intersecting of golden swords. It spread outside Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces and stirred up dozens of waves on the sea.

Heavenly Palace Below, Demon Beast in the sea, fled in all directions, as if heaven's punishment was coming.

Wuzhi Not only is he not afraid, but... he even wants to laugh.

During the previous ceremony, the oath recited by Great Freedom Demon Emperor made him quite unhappy.

Hundreds of tribes kowtowed, and all spirits surrendered...

Such words are often sensed by heaven and earth, and even heard by all the demons.

It was definitely not a casual remark. From Wuzhi's point of view, Five Sects of Xuanwei's elders had underestimated Great Freedom Demon Emperor's ambition.

... Perhaps I don't underestimate him, but I really don't think highly of this broken man.

But Wuzhi, as Spirit Transformation, naturally did not dare to despise Great Freedom Demon Emperor like this. Now that he was defeated, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Demon Emperor Dao Fruit in Zheng Fa's hand has changed..."

Wuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Isn't it the same as you Demon Emperor?"

Great Freedom Demon Emperor nodded slightly. He was originally Devil Ancestor, and had his own Dao Fruit. Now he is transformed into Great Freedom Demon Emperor. In fact, what Zheng Fa does is similar but has the same purpose.

"This is not an easy matter..."

Wuzhi also frowned.

His fear of Great Freedom Demon Emperor does not hinder the cooperation between the two parties.

He believes that Great Freedom Demon Emperor is also clear in his heart.

The goals of the two are quite the same - Zheng Fa.

He wants Pure Tranquility Bamboo, Great Freedom Demon Emperor wants to perfect Demon Emperor Dao Fruit.

"I can't wait any longer." Great Freedom Demon Emperor's eyes were dark. He no longer had the calmness before the enthronement ceremony, but was full of determination. "If you wait any longer, Demon Emperor Dao Fruit in Zheng Fa's hands will completely transform..."

"I want to perfect Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, but it's almost impossible."

Wuzhi feels strange in his heart. Didn't you have some conspiracy before to force Zheng Fa to give Nine Mountains?

Now it seems, who is forcing whom?

"Demon Emperor wants to..."

"Sign up all the demons and defeat Nine Mountains!"

"What if Four Sects of Xuanwei blocks it?"

Great Freedom Demon Emperor has now made up his mind and looks like he will not leave any way out for himself:

"Just once!" He smiled again, "Supreme Dao and the others, will they fight to the death for Zheng Fa?"

Wuzhi shook his head. As far as he knew, Zheng Fa rejected the invitations from three Supreme Dao companies, which made some people unhappy.

If they don't hold back, then those people are open-minded.

What's more, we have to face the desperate Great Freedom Demon Emperor.

I just remembered that Great Freedom Demon Emperor was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai before, but now he has to fight to the death, and even bet on Supreme Dao's attitude.

Thinking of this, he looked at Great Freedom Demon Emperor, suddenly a little doubtful, and even more worried about whether he could grab Pure Tranquility Bamboo.

Netherworld Immortal and Chen Ting are also very worried.

They looked at Nine Nether Talisman Edict in front of them and were silent for a long time.

Netherworld Immortal suddenly said, "I can't wait any longer."

Chen Ting was startled, these words sounded familiar, oh yes, didn't Demon Emperor just say it?

"If Demon Emperor really seizes Demon Emperor Dao Fruit from Zheng Fa, its strength will be greatly increased, and it may be more difficult to deal with." Netherworld Immortal looked at Chen Ting, a fierce look on his face, "If we want to complete Holy Ancestor's entrustment, I'm afraid this is the only chance."

"If Zheng Fa or Supreme Dao can... kill Demon Emperor, they will at least seriously injure Demon Emperor."

"I'll wait until I have a chance."

Chen Ting was bored for a long time, then slowly nodded, picked up Nine Nether Talisman Edict and slapped his forehead...

Nine Mountains Realm's Zheng Fa doesn't know it yet, but now he has forced Great Freedom Demon Emperor and his two close spies to go crazy.

He is still practicing Xie Qingxue--or, in other words, practicing swordsmanship with Xie Qingxue.

Yan Wushuang looked at his good brother and his senior sister, and always felt that something was wrong with this scene:

Zheng Fa closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a moment, then opened his eyes again and looked at Green Duckweed Sword.

Xie Qingxue's body turned into nothingness and disappeared.

Soon, a very familiar aura from Yan Wushuang appeared on Green Duckweed Sword!

As True Disciple of the Tianhe Sect, he still recognizes the method of Sword-Person Unity.

The problem is...

Wherever Zheng Fa points, senior sister hits, the power of Green Duckweed Sword is countless times stronger than before!

Is this reasonable?

He's not eating everything like this, is he?

Yan Wushuang looked at Xie Qingxue, his eyes a little confused - does a traitor also have talent?

After Zheng Fa and Xie Qingxue tried three moves, Xie Qingxue's figure flashed out from Green Duckweed Sword. The two looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied with each other:

Zheng Fa has passed the halfway point of practicing <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>, and his control over Green Duckweed Sword is deep.

Xie Qingxue and Zheng Fa are now on the same page, and when they work together, they complement each other even more.

Of course, Xie Qingxue is more satisfied that Zheng Fa has taught her <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>:

In this way, Green Duckweed Sword is naturally more powerful.

Even without Zheng Fa and Xie Qingxue with Green Duckweed Sword in the future, the strength that Green Duckweed Sword can exert will be completely different from before.

Xie Qingxue can even say that he is probably the sword master of Green Duckweed Sword in the past... among the sword spirits, he is the one who can best exert the power of Immortal Sword!

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, didn't you say you wanted to pass on my <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>?"

Suddenly, the voice of Yan Wushuang sounded in their ears.

His face was filled with longing, anticipation and reverie.

Xie Qingxue's face changed and he stared at this junior brother--

Yan Wushuang is extremely ambitious and tries to commit the following crimes, do you think she can't see it?

Zheng Fa was stunned, glanced at Xie Qingxue secretly, and said nothing.

Yan Wushuang is anxious now, I also contributed to <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>!

Zheng Fa Do you want to keep your words?

This won't work!

He muttered for a long time, Zheng Fa then sighed and glanced at Xie Qingxue again.

"I can pass it."

Yan Wushuang was overjoyed and was about to nod.

"If you dare to learn, don't blame me for being cruel."

Xie Qingxue had a cold face and said something that showed no sympathy at all.

"He... you... I..."

Yan Wushuang first pointed to Zheng Fa, then Xie Qingxue, and finally pointed to the tip of his nose. He only said three words, but the three words contained grievances that could not be washed away in three lifetimes.

Xie Qingxue is now very afraid of <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>, but as Xie Qingxue practiced this method, Zheng Fa discovered that Green Duckweed Sword probably has his own standards.

At least, such a strong reaction seems to only occur to Zheng Fa, a first-time practitioner of <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method>.

Even Xie Qingxue, it is difficult to completely activate this sword. It can only be said that it can enhance the tacit understanding with Green Duckweed Sword.

Even so, before we figure out whether this thing can be overcome.

Xie Qingxue is not willing to spread <Nine Mountains Golden Core Method> too widely now, let alone Yan Wushuang to learn it...

How will she hang out in the Tianhe Sect from now on?

"My dad..." Yan Wushuang chest puffed up and refused to give up.

"Sect Leader said, if you really betray Tianhe Sect, you will be punished on the spot!"

Xie Qingxue said coldly.

Yan Wushuang was wilted, but he was still muttering, "Aren't you the same..."

"So you are stupid."

Zheng Fa on the side actually agreed with this.

Yan Wushuang is so careless. He has only been back for a long time and everything is almost exposed.

Xie Qingxue is amazing. It's been so long. If Green Duckweed Sword hadn't acted like a monster, who would have known she was a traitor?

While several people were talking, Zheng Fa suddenly changed his expression and said goodbye to Xie Qingxue: "We have guests coming to visit, so I'll excuse you."

He left the two of them and came to Heavenly Palace Island. Senior Sister Zhang and Venerable Tongming were already waiting here.

"Master?"

Venerable Tongming looks a little tired.

This is strange. This person is Spirit Transformation after all. How come he has such an expression?

Soon, Zheng Fa understood.

"In the past few days, I have tidied up Bright Mountain, buried the dead disciples, and settled the remaining ones."

Listening to Venerable Tongming's gloomy tone, Zheng Fa was speechless for a moment.

Venerable Tongming, it's really a bit miserable.

Now this Bright Mountain Spirit Vein has been cut off. There is not even one disciple left in ten, and the family is really about to be wiped out.

He could only say, "My condolences, Master..."

Zheng Fa also somewhat understands this man's feelings towards the sect he founded.

Venerable Tongming nodded and suddenly asked something that he didn't quite understand, "Do you want Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

"Ah?"

"I want the remaining disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance and Bright Mountain to be entrusted to you."

Zheng Fa looked at Venerable Tongming in surprise. "Is the Master preparing to leave?"

Venerable Tongming nodded and said, "Yes, First Seat Mingde wants to go back to the mountain, and he respects him, so he can take me back to Supreme Dao."

Zheng Fa had a slightly strange expression. "Congratulations to the Master."

For Venerable Tongming, it seems like a bad thing that Bright Mountain is gone, but it is a great thing to be able to return to Supreme Dao.

What's more, First Seat Mingde is a good person, and with his care, Venerable Tongming's future life should not be difficult.

"Then why not take disciple Bright Mountain away..."

Venerable Tongming shook his head and said, "As Spirit Transformation, I can naturally stand firm in Supreme Dao, but they..."

It seems that Supreme Dao is not easy to mix with either.

Zheng Fa was thinking in his mind, Venerable Tongming's meaning was very simple, to find a backer for his remaining disciples and Hundred Immortals Alliance's other sects.

Choosing Nine Mountains Realm is actually not a big surprise to Zheng Fa--

In this realm, besides Five Sects of Xuanwei, is there any Immortal Sect that is stronger than Nine Mountains Realm?

He is now also considering whether to accept this force.

Hundred Immortals Alliance has been beaten and disabled a lot now, but there are also a lot of monks left, so it is actually a pretty big force.

But the messy things that happened to the Hundred Immortals Alliance in the past gave Zheng Fa a huge psychological shadow - this Hundred Immortals Alliance was leaking everywhere.

Venerable Tongming seemed to have noticed something and added:

"Actually, I also asked Sect Leader from several major sects, and they were... very excited."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fa was startled, then heard Venerable Tongming laugh and say:

"Those disciples who were admitted to the Nine Mountains Realm in the past couldn't tell how well they described Nine Mountains Realm in their letters."

"The most important thing is that none of them want to return Xuanwei Realm."

"This matter has been spread throughout my Hundred Immortals Alliance."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know this. Generally speaking, he wouldn't read those people's letters.

Didn't know this existed.

This is voting with your feet... People at the Xuanwei Realm also understand this very well!

Venerable Tongming really didn't know when he saw him, and the expression on his face was even more hurt. He shook his head and sighed, "I guessed that you didn't mean it... but after Hundred Immortals Assembly was held at the Nine Mountains Realm before, Hundred Immortals Alliance's people's hearts dispersed."

"..."

This sounds like it's your own fault?

"Your Golden Core Ceremony is too bluffing, but Marketplace is just as good."

Venerable Tongming looked at Zheng Fa, his eyes a little complicated, and he seemed to be a little resentful. "If it weren't for your Nine Mountains Realm being unable to get in, those people would have come one after another."

After a while, he even cursed:

"Those white-eyed wolves, when they heard that I was going to entrust Hundred Immortals Alliance to you, they were all happy..."

The usually cold face of Senior Sister Zhang on the side became a little speechless at this moment, as if he had imagined the scene at that time, and looked at Venerable Tongming with some sympathy.

Now that everything has been said, Venerable Tongming said bluntly:

"If people's hearts are still there, I actually want to reorganize Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"But now..."

After hearing these words, Zheng Fa looked at Venerable Tongming, still a little confused - is this person so generous?

"I have a request."

"Huh?"

"Hundred Immortals Alliance's name, don't change it."

Zheng Fa looked puzzled, but Senior Sister Zhang on the side suddenly realized. "I heard back then that Hundred Immortals Alliance Xuanwei was sixth..."

"That's my arrogance." Venerable Tongming's face turned red.

Got it.

Hype leader.

Even I was deceived by him!

At this time, Zheng Fa could also understand that this Venerable Tongming probably still had a lot of reluctance towards the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but Hundred Immortals Alliance's heart and current situation could not tolerate his thoughts.

"I wouldn't trust it if I left it to someone else."

"Only Nine Mountains Realm may be able to keep Hundred Immortals Alliance alive for a while longer."

Venerable Tongming said sincerely to Zheng Fa before leaving.

Because of Venerable Tongming's entrustment, Zheng Fa found Master and others.

"You mean, if we agree, we will become the leader of the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

Uncle-Master Pang jumped up first, with a rather excited tone.

Even Old Yuan and Aunt-Master Huang have happy faces.

Zheng Fa can also understand the thoughts of these two people. Although Nine Mountains Realm has been developing very fast, Hundred Immortals Alliance is different after all--

Back then, Nine Mountains Sect was wronged among the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Now that he has returned and has become the leader of the alliance, this is different.

After all, Nine Mountains Sect was originally a sect in the Hundred Immortals Alliance. These three elders also have many old friends in the Hundred Immortals Alliance. This wave is almost like the return of wealth and wealth.

Zheng Fa I used to enjoy watching high school group chats...

Very understandable.

Senior Sister Zhang, on the other hand, did not speak, but looked at Zheng Fa, as if waiting for his decision.

Zheng Fa thought for a long time and nodded:

"Taking over Hundred Immortals Alliance is a bit risky, but the benefits are greater."

"One is strength." Zheng Fa slowly analyzed, "Although Hundred Immortals Alliance is not as good as Spirit Transformation, there are still a lot of Nascent Soul, and the power of the fairy formation is also extraordinary."

"One is resources. Although we can refine spiritual materials, many things are cheaper if they are natural..."

"There are actually many other benefits."

After listening to Zheng Fa's two sentences, Old Yuan and the others also understood Zheng Fa's tendency.

The meaning of Zheng Fa is very clear. If you add something like Supreme Dao Vast Sun Mountain and lose your autonomy, that won't work.

If it's me, I can give it a try.

After two days, among the Nine Mountains Realm Heavenly Palace Hall, Zheng Fa and Venerable Tongming were sitting at the top.

Hundred Immortals Alliance The remaining Sect Leader elders sat below, looking at each other, feeling quite uneasy.

They are naturally a little envious of the Nine Mountains Sect's strength and Cultivation Method.

But on the other hand, Nine Mountains Realm is stronger than Bright Mountain, which also makes them worry that they will lose their power.

At this point, when it was time to really change the leader of the alliance, the previous excitement faded away, and instead, worry took over, worrying about gains and losses.

Now I am here because I want to hear what Zheng Fa has to say.

Some people are even muttering in their hearts, if Nine Mountains Sect is too domineering, it would be better to just leave Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Zheng Fa looked at the expressions of these people and understood what these people were thinking.

To be honest, Venerable Tongming's management of the Hundred Immortals Alliance was rough, which left Hundred Immortals Alliance with many loopholes, but at the same time it also gave these sects a lot of freedom.

Zheng Fa, That is indeed not the case.

When he saw these people looking at him, he said loudly, "If anyone is unwilling to listen to me Nine Mountains Sect, or has any doubts, you can raise it."

A group of people looked at each other, but Azure Wood Sect Leader stood up, cupped his hands towards Zheng Fa and said:

"Zheng Sect Leader, Nine Mountains Sect, naturally we admire them."

"But I wonder if Nine Mountains Sect becomes the leader of the alliance, what will be the rules for the Hundred Immortals Alliance in the future?"

"How much tribute do we have to pay every year?"

"Or... simply merge into the Nine Mountains Realm?"

Azure Wood Sect Leader's eyes were a little uneasy.

They all have children in the Nine Mountains Realm, and it can actually be seen that Zheng Fa is a person who has a strong desire for control, or in other words, an extremely cautious person.

Will he allow these sects to do their own thing?

Zheng Fa thought for a while and then said, "I have two documents here, please take a look first."

He put his finger on the desk, and the stacks of documents on the desk fell into the hands of these Sect Leader like white doves.

Azure Wood Sect Leader First open one:

"<Mutual Watch and Aid Treaty>"

He understood it as soon as he turned it over.

"Do not attack each other."

"If there is any dispute, you can go to the Nine Mountains Realm to discuss it."

"Consistent with the outside world."

These are principle requirements.

There are many detailed rules in it, such as recruiting all Nascent Soul to practice the Immortal Formation, etc.

This is actually easy to understand.

Zheng Fa wants to take back power - in the future, these Sect Leader can no longer instigate internal fighting among the Hundred Immortals Alliance, let alone watch Nine Mountains Sect face Great Freedom Demon Cult alone as before.

Of course, they will also be protected by the Nine Mountains Sect.

This makes these Sect Leader a little hesitant.

Although this treaty was not without benefits to them, on the other hand, it did cause them to lose a lot of freedom.

At least it is much stricter than Venerable Tongming.

These people looked at each other, and when they looked at Venerable Tongming, their eyes began to look nostalgic...

The look in their eyes made Venerable Tongming feel a little proud at the moment - now you know me?

But Azure Wood Sect Leader and they also know that since Zheng Fa has given the conditions, they probably won't change them.

Now they are considered weak - essentially, they are asking for the Nine Mountains Realm's blessing.

With some depression, Azure Wood Sect Leader opened the second file: <Customs Union Treaty>.

He just glanced at it twice and suddenly shouted:

"Zheng Sect Leader, you don't want to worship?"

"All we need to do is join this customs union?"

Zheng Fa smiled and nodded slightly.

Everyone Nascent Soul in the hall was in a state of excitement, talking a lot, and their expressions became much clearer.

Power is power, but cultivators still care most about cultivation, which is naturally related to resources - you know, Bright Mountain actually requires a lot of offerings.

Now Zheng Fa is too generous!

What's more, this also means that Zheng Fa has no intention of annexing these small sects!

How to make them feel at ease?

Seeing them like this, Zheng Fa was also secretly laughing. For him, these sects Hundred Immortals Alliance themselves were not very attractive. Even at first, he preferred to communicate in a relatively alienated way.

Nine Mountains Realm There are still many secrets that cannot be revealed to the outside world.

What attracted him were the resources and... markets of these sects!

He looked at the Customs Union Treaty at hand, then looked at the smiles on these people's faces, and thought about the results calculated by Senior Sister Zhang...

Who said you can't exploit these sects if you don't accept offerings?

Learn about the scissor difference between workers and peasants.

Azure Wood Sect Leader and others do not know about the internal development of the Nine Mountains Realm, and secondly they do not know about industry and agriculture, but now they are signing the treaty with great joy.

After they signed their names, they looked up and saw Venerable Tongming again.

This time, the expressions on their faces were a little angry Venerable Tongming - it was clearly written on these people's faces:

Yo? Are you still there?
