The rainbow shines through the sun, and the golden light fades away.
The terrifying energy that was enough to collapse the entire Green Phoenix Mountain finally dissipated completely as Xuan Yi's figure left.
Between heaven and earth, deathly silence returns.
Only the wind blew through the forest tops, picking up a few pink petals and falling to the ground.
At the entrance of the main hall, the group of ragged old people Cauldron Sect still kept looking up at the sky.
The neck is stiff and the mouth is slightly open.
A long time.
Gudong.
I don't know who swallowed the saliva first, but it sounded particularly loud on this deathly silent mountaintop.
Immediately afterwards, there were gasps one after another.
The elder who had previously jumped on his feet and scolded Zhou Xuan for being confused and shouted that he would rather die than surrender was now shivering and holding on to the door frame, his old face turning the color of pig liver.
It's not that I'm ashamed... After living for such a long time, I have developed an extremely thick skin. Why should I be ashamed of this little thing?
Just excited.
He pointed tremblingly at the remaining golden thread on the sky, and stammered, "This... this... this is the end?"
Three Tower-Ascending Realm Great Demon Emperor!
That's it...
It's like killing chickens and dogs.
Two dead and one escaped?!
"It's over."
Zhou Xuan let out a long breath, looked at the group of former superior uncles and uncles in front of him, and said helplessly, "Master, what else do you think?"
The elder turned his head sharply. There was no trace of the previous complaint. He grabbed Zhou Xuan's wrist with such force that it actually hurt Zhou Xuan.
"Xiao Zhou... no, nephew Zhou! That... that... is really Great Tang?"
"She... she is really willing to protect us?"
Zhou Xuan pulled out his hand without leaving a trace and said calmly, "Disciple just said that as long as Cauldron Sect submits to Great Tang and never betrays, Great Tang will protect you."
"Submit! You must submit!"
The elder nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "If there is such a person sitting in charge... what kind of mortal dynasty? That is True Dragon Qianyuan! That is the immortal dynasty on earth! If we Cauldron Sect can climb such a high branch, it is because the ancestral graves are smoking!"
The rest of the people also came to their senses.
As they looked at each other, they all saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
If I could hug such a thick thigh...
Why worry about the sect not being prosperous?
Even...
Is it possible that these old bones, half of their bodies buried in the earth, can continue to write another Dao Path under the guidance of His Highness?
For a while.
Everyone also agreed one after another, with smiles on their faces.
"That's right! Master Nephew Zhou is indeed the Qilin son of our sect. With such vision, I am ashamed of myself!"
"From now on, we will be Great Tang's ministers. If anyone dares to say a bad word about Great Tang, I will be the first to get angry with him!"
Looking at these old men who could change their faces faster than turning the pages of a book, Zhou Xuan didn't feel much contempt in his heart, but rather felt a bit of sadness.
This is the way of the world.
In the face of absolute power, the so-called character and dignity are just a fig leaf given by the strong.
aside.
Niu Ben crossed his arms, looked at the sky, and smacked his lips with unfinished thoughts.
His rough face was full of envy.
"If I, Old Ox, have such a day..."
He made a silly sound of hey.
Obviously.
Fell into fantasy again.
"Okay."
Zhou Xuan glanced at it, feeling helpless.
Later.
He turned around and glanced at the group of elders with different expressions.
"Masters and uncles, now you have seen it with your own eyes."
Zhou Xuan's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard. "This is Great Tang's His Highness Grand Princess, and the true supporter of Great Tang today."
"To submit to Great Tang is not to insult the lintel of the Cauldron Sect."
"On the contrary..."
Zhou Xuan paused and said softly, "It's me, Cauldron Sect, who has reached a high level."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone present was silent.
If he had heard this half an hour ago, someone would have jumped out and pointed at Zhou Xuan's nose and scolded him for forgetting his ancestors.
But now.
Who dares?
Even Spirit Mountain Demon Emperor has been exterminated, what qualifications do these people have to say anything?
"Ahem..."
The leader of the old man coughed twice, and a chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.
He hunched over and approached Zhou Xuan.
Don't call me Xiao Zhou anymore.
"That... Sect Leader Zhou."
The old man rubbed his hands and said with a flattering look on his face, "It was just because we were old fools and couldn't see the mountains. Please be patient and patient."
"Yes, yes, sect leader, we are all a family, there is no such thing as being too high or too high."
The other elders also gathered around, each one nodding and bowing, looking arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, which made Zhou Xuan feel disgusted for a while.
"Sect Master, do you think that His Highness... what are his hobbies in his daily life?"
An elder lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Do you like panacea? Or treasures from heaven and earth? Or..."
He glanced at Zhou Xuan and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Xuan frowned. "Or what?"
"Or... like men?"
The elder gritted his teeth and gave up. "If His Highness doesn't mind it, although there are not many young people in our sect, the few boys who have just entered the sect are also good-looking..."
"Stop it!"
Zhou Xuan's face turned dark.
What is this all about?
These old guys have been imprisoned for five hundred years, have their brains been damaged?
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said angrily, "Don't have those crooked thoughts. His Highness has a cold temperament and doesn't like these vain things."
"If you really want to repay His Highness, when you get to Great Tang in the future, just make elixirs with your heart. Your Highness has always made clear rewards and punishments. As long as you have the ability, Great Tang will never treat you badly."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
"That's good, that's good. Alchemy is our old profession, and we are good at it."
"Okay, don't hang around here anymore."
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and began to give orders. "Hurry and clean up and see if there are any missing disciples. No matter whether they are dead or alive, take them with you."
"As well as the Pill Furnace and medicinal materials in the main hall, everything that can be taken away will be packed."
Speaking of which.
Zhou Xuan looked up and down at the ragged and unkempt appearance of everyone, and frowned even more tightly.
"Go find some clean clothes to change into and wash your face."
"Your Highness loves to be clean. If she sees you acting like a human being or a ghost..."
Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, "If it offends His Highness by then, don't blame me for not reminding you."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
How dare you be so lazy?
One by one, as if they had been granted amnesty, they turned around and ran towards the main hall.
Not long after.
In front of the originally messy main hall, only Zhou Xuan and Niu Ben were left.
Zhou Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally the mess was sorted out.
He turned his head and looked at Niu Ben who was still looking silly and happy.
"Friend Niu Dao."
Zhou Xuan said, "The matter on my side is finally settled."
"What about you?"
"Huh?"
Niu Ben was immersed in the dream of being able to slap Demon Emperor to death in the future. When Leng Buding heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
He blinked blankly. "Me? What can I do?"
Zhou Xuan is a little speechless.
On the way before coming here, Ming Ming was still talking to himself with a bitter look on his face, saying that he was coming to Spirit Mountain to save someone.
Why did you forget the real thing in just a blink of an eye?
"Didn't you mean..."
Zhou Xuan reminded, "Are you coming to save your... eldest sister?"
"Sister?"
Niu Ben scratched his head.
After a while.
His body shook violently.
"Fuck!!! My eldest sister!!!"
An earth-shattering scream erupted from Niu Ben's mouth.
It's over, it's over...
I was so busy watching His Highness show off his power that I forgot about the real business...
Those old ladies are still suffering there!
