Seeking Immortality

Anyone who has faith in his heart is always extremely lonely.

Because faith means persistence, but not everyone is willing to persist for a certain purpose and sacrifice everything for it.

Li Yuhan is the kind of person who truly believes. In this regard, Xu Qingfan is not as good as him, because Xu Qingfan's actions are almost all passive.

Zhang Hualing listened silently to Xu Qingfan's account of the incident. After a long time, he sighed silently, and then remained speechless.

It was he who personally brought Li Yuhan to Jiuhua. Li Yuhan's master, Bao Qingfang, was Zhang Xusheng's undercover agent and only wanted to overthrow Jiuhua. It was also he who personally taught Li Yuhan how to cultivate immortality. It can be said that although he was called the master, he was The relationship between Li Yuhan is actually the relationship between master and disciple.

And it is undeniable that with Li Yuhan's temperament and ability, he is more suitable to be the head of Jiuhua than Xu Qingfan. If it were not for the fact that he is a third-generation disciple and his cultivation reputation is not convincing, neither Zhang Hualing nor Xu Qingfan would be convinced. He hesitated to make him the leader.

In fact, after Xu Qingfan became the leader, he would indeed make Li Yuhan the deacon elder. When Li Yuhan's reputation and strength were sufficient, he would be appointed leader, while Xu Qingfan would be alone and carefree. This was one of Xu Qingfan's little plans.

However, none of this is possible now. Xu Qingfan has been preparing to become the next head of Jiuhua for a long time. Li Yuhan's reputation and strength are still insufficient. Once this changes, Jiuhua will inevitably be in chaos.

But Li Yuhan has now begun to show signs of targeting the two of them. He cannot sit idly by and ignore them, but he cannot move because Li Yuhan has done nothing wrong, and Jiuhua cannot do without him now.

After a long silence, Zhang Hualing finally spoke.

"I know Yu Han very well. He didn't do this for me. If you really die, he will deal with me according to your plan. He is loyal to me. But he is even more loyal to Jiuhua's inheritance. He did this just because I don’t want someone who is likely to go astray to become the head of Jiuhua. You revealed too much in that piece of green slip.”

After Xu Qingfan heard Zhang Hualing's words. Smile slightly. The situation was urgent. Xu Qingfan only focused on recording the whole story and how to deal with it. Where do you have the time to think so much?

After pondering for a moment. Zhang Hualing added: "Yu Han did nothing wrong. You can only guard against his actions. His responsibilities should not be ignored. Also, if he really does something in the future, you can only detain him. But not Dispose of it as you like. You and I both understand what he means to the future of Jiuhua."

"Disciple understands."

Xu Qingfan bowed in response.

After leaving Zhang Hualing's room. Xu Qingfan's face was extremely cold.

The meaning of Zhang Hualing's words is obvious. Just let Li Yuhan do whatever he wants. Xu Qingfan could only take precautions. And can't stop it. If Li Yuhan succeeds. Don’t mention anything. If Li Yuhan fails. But Xu Qingfan couldn't punish him.

Xu Qingfan, Zhang Hualing's destination, also knew that he, like Li Yuhan, did not trust Xu Qingfan. He was also afraid that Xu Qingfan would go astray. The reason why Xu Qingfan was appointed as the successor to the head was firstly because Xu Qingfan was the best candidate among the second generation disciples, and secondly because Xu Qingfan was the successor recognized by Li Xuhan. Therefore, he has been trying his best to cultivate Xu Qingfan's ability and prestige from beginning to end, but in Zhang Hualing's heart, Li Yuhan, whom he personally trained, is probably the best candidate.

In short, in Zhang Hualing's heart, Xu Qingfan is just a transitional person between him and Li Yuhan, albeit for the sake of Jiuhua's stability. This transitional product should also be as perfect as possible, but a transitional product is still a transitional product after all, and precautions are necessary.

Checks and balances, everything is a check and balance. Zhang Hualing uses Xu Qingfan to check and balance himself, and Li Yuhan uses Li Yuhan to check and balance Xu Qingfan. Everything is so balanced and perfect as much as possible. If there is a problem in any link. They all have back-ups. It can be described as deliberate.

Xu Qingfan even doubted Li Yuhan's actions these days. Zhang Hualing knew about it and even encouraged it.

However, although Xu Qingfan was heartbroken about what Zhang Hualing had done, he could not blame him for anything. Just like Zhang Hualing knew about Qing Jian and did not complain about Xu Qingfan. Once he became a demon and asked Xu Qingfan to kill him, he would That's his plan. After all, Zhang Hualing did everything for Jiuhua, and he could sacrifice himself for this without any scruples, let alone Xu Qingfan?

The words "Everything is for Jiuhua" are so heavy at this time.

Xu Qingfan admired everything about Zhang Hualing and Li Yuhan because he felt that he could not do these things.

But Xu Qingfan didn't want to be plotted like this.

With a slight sigh, Xu Qingfan's expression returned to calm, and he slowly walked towards his courtyard.

He came here only to confirm Zhang Hualing's attitude, not to seek support or advice.

The goal was achieved, and Zhang Hualing's attitude was indeed what he imagined.

Sometimes, even if there is no solution, it is also a very annoying thing.

The calm but unquiet night passed with everyone's thoughts. When the scorching sun replaced the full moon, the light dispersed the darkness, and everything seemed to have never happened.

Xu Qingfan, Zhang Hualing, and Li Yuhan were still calm when they met.

Things that happened in the following days began to proceed as planned.

Under the instigation of some people, the lower-middle-level cultivators of the Righteous Alliance gradually gathered together to petition for Xu Qingfan to enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance. Under the pressure of the ideas of a group of cultivators, Xu Qingfan finally entered the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance as he wished, and his status was officially equal to that of the heads of various major sects, only slightly inferior to the twelve masters.

In addition, because Xu Qingfan was the first second-generation disciple to enter the decision-making level in the Righteous Alliance, he also officially became the first of the younger generation of the Righteous Alliance.

However, slightly different from the plan, Xu Qingfan did not represent Jiuhua to enter the decision-making level, but represented small and medium-sized sects and independent cultivators. Under the grace of saving their lives, these cultivators were willing to believe Xu Qingfan, and of course there was also a reason why none of them had the prestige to enter the decision-making level.

In addition, the reason why Xu Qingfan entered the decision-making level was not because he had made many contributions to become a hero of the Righteous Alliance, but because his identity was not suitable for going out to perform threatening tasks.

"With Xu Qingfan's current reputation and status, if he is accidentally killed by the enemy during a mission, it will be a great blow to morale."

These are the original words of Fan Xiaoyao, the head of the "Xingyin Sect". Xu Qingfan didn't know whether this was a sign of respect or contempt for himself. However, the only certainty is that within a period of time, Xu Qingfan will be responsible for the arrangement and adjustment of the missions of various independent cultivators and cultivators from small and medium-sized sects, and he will no longer have to go out to perform missions.

This is what Xu Qingfan has always dreamed of, but he is a little worried about the safety of the Jiuhua team.

Ten days later, the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance began to gather. Under the leadership of the twelve masters, they were divided into three teams and began to sweep all over the vast land of Shenzhou, intercepting the various monsters that were constantly gathering from all over the vast land of Shenzhou. Because the power of the monsters was dispersed, they achieved many results in a short time, even killing two heaven-level monsters, more than a thousand earth-level monsters, and countless human-level monsters. However, the command ability of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was far beyond the imagination of the decision-makers of the Righteous Alliance. After the first few successful interceptions, the actions of the monsters became more secretive and irregular, and the occasional obvious activities were mostly traps and smoke. The monks of the Righteous Alliance either ran away, or there was another large group of monsters lying in ambush nearby.

In this way, the speed of the gathering of monsters became extremely slow during the interception and counter-interception, encirclement and counter-encirclement.

In addition to delaying the gathering of monsters in the Southern Wilderness, the Righteous Alliance has done many exciting things in the past two years. First, after nearly 20 years, it finally completely wiped out the "Eight Desolation Hall" that caused the catastrophe first, and thousands of monks in the "Eight Desolation Hall". Except for the second hall master Mandi, no one escaped, and the "Eight Desolation Hall" officially became a historical term in the world of immortal cultivation.

Not long after the "Eight Desolation Hall" was completely wiped out, the "Beast Crazy Monk" was also officially eradicated from the vast land of Shenzhou by the Righteous Alliance.

In these two events, Hua Xian, who had recovered from his injury, made many contributions. With the publicity of those who cared about him, he became another hero of the Righteous Alliance. His status among young disciples was second only to Xu Qingfan. Some people put him and Xu Qingfan together. They were called the "Two Righteous Heroes", and they were in the limelight.

In addition, because the alchemy masters of various sects gathered together, and in the wars with the monsters of the Southern Wilderness over the years, they obtained countless inner elixirs and blood of monsters, so they refined a lot of elixirs and high-level magic tools, which made the cultivators below the Real Dan stage in the Righteous Alliance soar in cultivation. In two years, even the holy medicine "Shengxian Pill" was refined more than 20 pills. With the help of the power of the medicine, countless cultivators who had been wandering in the Spiritual Silence Stage for many years broke through and became Jindan stage cultivators. The number of Jindan stage cultivators in the Righteous Alliance reached an astonishing 2,500, which was hundreds more than when the Righteous Alliance was first established. However, there was no increase in the number of masters in the Real Dan stage and Jindan stage, and they were still slowly decreasing in the constant battles.

But no matter what, everyone began to believe that once the Southern Wilderness monsters were driven away, this catastrophe would officially end.

At the same time, Xu Qingfan and his Jiuhua team also began to rest as planned, and the five Jiuhua members rested for two full years and did not participate in the battle with the Southern Wilderness monsters.

Wang Zegang is the supreme guardian of a small sect called "Xuanxu Sect". His cultivation has reached the late stage of solid elixir. Although he has a supreme status in "Xuanxu Sect", he is still an inconspicuous member of the Righteous Alliance with countless masters.

He has been very depressed these days. He doesn't like fighting, but he doesn't like to do nothing in "Ronghua Mountain" when others are fighting with the Southern Wilderness monsters. What's more, after participating in the battle with the Southern Wilderness monsters, he will also get rewards such as elixirs and magic tools, but he has nothing. He was inexplicably arranged to rest, just like the five Jiuhua members, and rested for two full years.

With everyone going to fight the monsters in the Southern Wilderness, the "Ronghua Mountain" that only high-level cultivators can enter seems empty, and Wang Zegang feels as if he has been abandoned.

That day, Wang Zegang was meditating in his residence, when suddenly, a clear but steady voice came from outside his room.

"I am Li Yuhan from Jiuhua, and I would like to see you, fellow Daoist Wang."
