Wuzhou, located in the southeast of Tianxuan Continent, is separated from the northwest desert by hundreds of millions of miles.
Lingchen Pavilion.
In a small world, the current Pavilion Master Ling Tianfang gathered the other six True Immortal powerhouses together, all because of Ling Shaxing's matter.
Ling Tianfang sat in the main seat. Usually, when facing these junior brothers, he always had a kind and amiable appearance. However, at this moment, his face was extremely serious. Even the other six who were also True Immortals did not dare to be too presumptuous at this moment.
"Tianchen just contacted me, saying that Ling Shaxing established a Shaxing Sect in the northwest desert. Fifth, do you know about this?"
Ling Tianfang looked at the third man on the left. His name was Ling Wu, and he happened to be fifth among the seven, so he was always called Fifth. At the same time, Ling Wu was also one of the Hidden True Immortals of Lingchen Pavilion and the master of Ling Shaxing.
Ling Wu shook his head and said, "Eldest Brother, decades ago, that kid told me that he was going out for a walk to see if he could break through the Supreme bottleneck. I didn't know that kid went to the northwest desert. Did something happen?"
Ling Wu asked at the end.
The others also looked at Ling Tianfang curiously. Usually, they were in seclusion, hoping to be promoted to Immortal King. Unless something major happened, they would come out of seclusion. Even the coming-of-age ceremony of the Yao family's princess did not bring them out of seclusion. They would not know more about Ling Shaxing establishing a sect in the northwest desert.
It's just that now Ling Tianfang forcibly woke them up from seclusion, obviously something major has happened. Otherwise, Ling Tianfang would not have done this.
"You really don't know?"
Ling Tianfang did not answer Ling Wu's question, but reiterated his question again, with amazing light flashing in his eyes.
Ling Wu met Ling Tianfang's gaze without flinching and said, "Eldest Brother, I really don't know."
Seeing this, Ling Tianfang nodded. He could see that Ling Wu was not lying, so his face relaxed, and he sighed, saying, "Fifth, from now on, just pretend that you never had a disciple!"
"Eldest Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Ling Wu's face changed slightly, and the others frowned upon hearing this. The deep meaning of Ling Tianfang's words was not ordinary!
"Just now, Tianchen took the initiative to contact me..." Ling Tianfang slowly opened his mouth and told the information he had learned from Yao Tianchen, and finally he emphasized: "Before calling you out of seclusion, I personally confirmed it. Now the number of creatures in the northwest desert has decreased by at least half compared to decades ago!"
"This beast!" After hearing this, Ling Wu's face turned blue, and his eyes were full of anger, but soon, he sighed and said, "Eldest Brother, it's all my fault for failing to teach my disciple. If the Yao family wants to punish me, I am willing to bear it all."
"Fifth, you still want to protect that evil creature at this time?"
The people next to him understood Ling Wu's words and immediately showed dissatisfaction.
"When has our Lingchen Pavilion produced people who bully others by virtue of their power? The actions of that evil creature are simply tarnishing our Lingchen Pavilion's tens of millions of years of history."
The person sitting opposite Ling Wu also said in a cold voice.
Since the establishment of their Lingchen Pavilion, it has had tens of millions of years of history, even longer than the Yao family.
Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.
Lingchen Pavilion has been able to exist for tens of millions of years, and the sect rules are naturally extremely strict. Among them, there is a prohibition against bullying the weak by relying on power and indiscriminate killing of innocent people. The actions of Ling Shaxing in the northwest desert completely ignored the sect rules. They didn't know it was okay, but now that they know, how could they tolerate it?
Ling Wu smiled bitterly and said, "If your disciples also violated the sect rules, can you really treat them equally?"
"..."
Including Ling Tianfang, none of the other six could answer Ling Wu's question.
However, to be their disciple and take over the identity and status of the Seven Stars of Lingchen Pavilion, they naturally also put in a lot of effort and feelings. If their disciples violated the sect rules, could they really take action against their disciples for the sake of the sect's reputation?
But there is no if in the world, so they cannot answer Ling Wu's question. This is a question about human nature, so they are all silent.
In the end, Ling Tianfang spoke.
"I have a good relationship with Tianchen. He doesn't mean to punish our Lingchen Pavilion, but the premise is that Ling Shaxing has nothing to do with our Lingchen Pavilion. Fifth, don't blame Eldest Brother, because it was not someone else who took action against Ling Shaxing, but the princess of the Yao family!"
Ling Tianfang's words were like a fist hitting Ling Wu's chest, causing his breath to become rapid. Finally, Ling Wu let out a long breath and said, "I understand."
It's just that after he finished speaking, he looked like an old man in his twilight years, which shocked the others.
Ling Wu is a True Immortal powerhouse, living as long as heaven and earth, how could he have this kind of demeanor and temperament?
"Fifth, don't think too much!" The person next to him said immediately.
The seven of them came from the same village, worshipped the same master at the same time, and almost became immortals at the same time. Although there is no blood relationship between them, their relationship is even better than relatives. At this time, Ling Wu's temperament changed greatly, how could they not worry?
"I'm fine!"
Ling Wu shook his head.
The others were still not at ease, but Ling Wu said to Ling Tianfang: "Eldest Brother, I haven't moved around for more than a million years. I want to go out for a walk. I hope Eldest Brother approves!"
"Where do you want to go?" Ling Tianfang didn't say yes or no, but asked him where he wanted to go.
Ling Wu didn't hide anything and said, "Although I didn't know about it, it's ultimately my disciple. I am also responsible for the sins he committed. Where he made mistakes, I will go to make amends."
Ling Tianfang nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Ling Wu cupped his hands and saluted everyone, saying: "Dear senior brothers and junior brothers, we will meet again!"
After speaking, his figure disappeared and left.
"Eldest Brother, will Fifth do something stupid?" Someone said worriedly.
"No." Ling Tianfang said lightly, he was completely relieved about Ling Wu.
"After today, please discipline your disciples more. I don't want such a thing to happen again in the future." Ling Tianfang looked at the others seriously.
"Yes, Eldest Brother!"
...
In the northwest desert, there was one less Supreme named Ling Shaxing, but there was one more True Immortal walking on foot in the desert.
Ling Wu stopped. He looked at the sand flowing on the ground due to the wind, and a gleam of light burst out in his eyes. In his eyes, the sand was no longer sand, but countless soul factors, which eventually formed a Supreme soul.
" wicked disciple, you should atone for your sins!"
Ling Wu saw his disciple being suppressed under the northwest desert, being trampled on all the time. Not only was he not annoyed, but he was also a little happy.
"Are you Ling Wu?"
At this time, Yao Xian walked down from a cloud.
"I am, greetings, Fairy Yao!" Ling Wu saluted Yao Xian humbly.
"You came here for your disciple?" Yao Xian asked, with coldness in her eyes.
"Exactly!"
Ling Wu was shocked. He could feel the youthful aura of Yao Xian who had just proven the Supreme Dao, but the pressure formed by her aura made him feel a palpitation.
"Save?" Yao Xian asked again, her aura becoming stronger and stronger.
Ling Wu took a slight step back, shook his head and said, "I failed to teach my disciple and came to atone for his sins."
"Oh?"
Yao Xian restrained her aura and looked at Ling Wu in surprise. Although she knew that Lingchen Pavilion's sect rules were strict, she thought that Ling Shaxing's master would come to rescue him at the risk of danger, so she had been guarding here.
So Ling Shaxing's master came to save him, then she didn't mind suppressing their master and disciple together.
When she saw Ling Wu, she was ready to take action, but she didn't expect Ling Wu to come to atone for Ling Shaxing's sins.
But this made Yao Xian look up to Ling Wu even more.
Originally, after learning from her father that Ling Shaxing had been decisively abandoned by Lingchen Pavilion, she still looked down on Lingchen Pavilion a little.
This is not about justice and evil, but about human nature.
Now that Ling Wu is here, no matter why Ling Wu came, she would not look down on Ling Wu, and learning that Ling Wu actually came to atone for Ling Shaxing's actions made her look up to Ling Wu even more.
"I know that merit and demerit cannot be offset, but even so, I must atone for the evil deeds of my wicked disciple, and I ask Fairy Yao to give me a chance." Ling Wu's posture was very low. If it were spread out, it would definitely shock countless people.
When did a True Immortal need to bow his head to a Supreme?
Yao Xian would naturally not stop Ling Wu from atoning for his sins, but she was very curious about how Ling Wu planned to atone for his sins.
"What are you going to do?" Yao Xian asked.
"..."
Ling Wu was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't have the power to defy the heavens and cannot revive the creatures who died because of my wicked disciple. I can only take one step at a time."
Yao Xian frowned slightly and said: "How long will it take for your way of atonement to make up for the sins committed by Ling Shaxing?"
Take one step at a time can also be translated as helping others when you see injustice, but this method is too slow. Although the northwest desert is scarce in resources, it is extremely wide, occupying almost one-fifth of the Tianxuan Continent. Even if it is a True Immortal, atoning for sins in this way is not even a drop in the bucket for the northwest desert.
"I don't know what Fairy Yao thinks is right. I will listen respectfully."
Ling Wu once again bowed to Yao Xian, his attitude was humble, like a junior asking for advice from a senior.
This scene is a big contrast. A person who has millions of years of age actually asks a woman who is hundreds of years old for advice.
But from this, it can be seen that Ling Wu is extremely serious about atoning for his disciple.
Yao Xian also felt Ling Wu's sincerity, she smiled: "You asked me."
"Please advise!" Ling Wu said.
"Wait for you."
After Yao Xian finished speaking, her figure flashed and flew to the clouds. Ling Wu looked at her figure, but suddenly found that above the clouds, a cyan-robed youth was sitting and drinking, and he had not noticed it from beginning to end.
Ling Wu was a little shocked in his heart, but he quickly returned to calm. He had long heard that the Yao family's princess was the reincarnation of a Taoist companion of a great figure, and now it seems that the rumors are true.
Soon, Yao Xian took Gu Changsheng's arm and came to Ling Wu.
"Ling Wu has met senior!"
Ling Wu respectfully saluted Gu Changsheng.
"Pfft!" Yao Xian couldn't help but laugh. Every time she saw someone older than Gu Changsheng call Gu Changsheng senior, she couldn't help but laugh. Su old man in Yuehua Holy Land was like this, and Ling Wu in front of her was also like this.
Gu Changsheng helplessly glanced at Yao Xian, with your smile, I was just about to take out the Holy Emperor's power to handle the other party, but now I am embarrassed.
"Sorry, I can't help it!" Yao Xian said.
Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly, what else can he do, Yao Xian has apologized to him, can he still blame Yao Xian?
Blame this Ling Wu!
"Forget about the senior, since you are here to atone for your disciple, I will give you a chance."
Gu Changsheng said lightly.
Ling Wu felt Gu Changsheng's cold attitude, but he thought it was normal, this is the attitude that a strong person should have.
"Please speak!" Ling Wu said.
Gu Changsheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent out a divine thought, containing all the words to be said in this divine thought.
When Ling Wu learned the content of this divine thought, his face changed slightly, and then he looked at Yao Xian, hesitating to speak.
"Are you worried about my father?" Yao Xian understood his eyes.
Ling Wu nodded.
"Don't worry, my father already knows about it, and even if the Taixu Palace knows, it doesn't matter, the Taixu Immortal Venerable is my nephew!"
Yao Xian chuckled.
Demon Ancestor Hun Kun is Changsheng's younger brother, and his disciple is naturally her nephew.
"Uh..."
Ling Wu didn't know how to respond, if he believed it, it would be disrespectful to the Taixu Immortal Venerable, if he didn't believe it, he glanced at the unfathomable Gu Changsheng...
Isn't this a conspiracy?
"Don't believe it? Then we'll call him over." Yao Xian said when she saw this.
"This..."
Ling Wu didn't know what to say.
Yao Xian poked Gu Changsheng's arm.
Gu Changsheng nodded, then waved his hand, a figure appeared in front of Ling Wu, the figure was in a cross-legged posture.
When Ling Wu saw the face of this person, he was immediately frightened and bowed, "Greetings, Taixu Immortal Venerable!"
Taixu Immortal Venerable Youyou opened his eyes, but when he saw the figure in front of him, he was also taken aback, and immediately stood up and saluted Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian.
"Disciple Taixu has met uncle, has met aunt!"
So a strange scene appeared, Ling Wu bowed behind Taixu, while Taixu also saluted Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian, people who didn't know thought it was the elder brother taking his younger brother to see the elders!
"Forget the courtesy." Gu Changsheng said lightly.
Taixu Immortal Venerable straightened up, and then he noticed Ling Wu behind him.
" uncle, aunt, what is he?"
Taixu Immortal Venerable was a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just set up a branch of the Holy Emperor Hall here and asked him to help, he was worried, so I asked you to come here." Gu Changsheng smiled.
"I see." Taixu Immortal Venerable nodded, and then said: " uncle, you are too much trouble, as long as you say a word, the disciple will immediately take the Taixu Realm and merge into the Holy Emperor Hall."
"Okay, okay, I know your intentions, you should go back and prepare for the breakthrough, in the Taixu Realm, you have to be careful of your former opponents."
After Gu Changsheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent Taixu Immortal Venerable back.
In the chaos, Hun Kun looked at his disciple who had returned, and asked: "What did your uncle ask you to do?"
...
