Chapter 252

Great Desolate City, formerly known as Yin Puppet City.

Three years ago, Lin Dong married Mu Qianqian in this magnificent city, and Lin Dong treated this city as a betrothal gift, along with all the resources of the Yin Puppet Sect, and gave them to Mu Qianqian.

As a city of love and a token of love, after Mu Qianqian took over the Great Demon Gate and annexed the Martial Alliance, she directly moved the headquarters of the Great Demon Gate from Demon Heaven City to Yin Puppet City, renaming it Great Desolate City, which is now the real county seat of the Great Desolate Province.

Inside the city, within a magnificent hall, Mu Qianqian sat quietly in the lowest corner, looking at the group of strong individuals at the head of the table with some apprehension.

Three days ago, after Jiang Xue sent the Ninth King Hall Lord on his way with a palm strike, this Ninth King Hall Lord of the Demon Prison, who was famous throughout the Tianxuan Continent, finally completely disappeared from this world.

However, although the Ninth King Hall Lord was dead, things did not end so simply. The Ninth King Hall Lord's funeral had to be properly taken care of, otherwise, the massive Demonic Qi would turn the entire Great Desolate Province into a Demonic Territory.

In addition, the Ninth King Hall Lord's bones were also a treasure. Although a piece of arm bone was taken away by Bo Xuan three years ago, resulting in the current physical body being a little lacking, it was still comparable to a Divine Object.

In three days, Lin Xuan completely cleared the Demonic Qi from the bones, and Bo Xuan led people, using the power of the Ancestor Symbol and the three Divine Objects, to completely obliterate the Otherworldly Demonic Qi of the Ninth King Hall Lord.

It was because Lin Xuan's methods were extremely strong, coupled with the fact that he had fought many Otherworldly Demon experts and had extraordinary methods, that he was able to suppress the Ninth King Hall Lord. Otherwise, if someone else came, even if they could get rid of the Ninth King Hall Lord, they might be dragged down with him when facing the Ninth King Hall Lord, who knew he was bound to die.

After all, the methods and vitality of the Otherworldly Demons were not ordinary strange and tenacious. If they burned their lives and the Demonic Qi in their bodies, their strength could increase a lot in a short period of time. It was just a pity that they were suppressed by Lin Xuan's Sword Qi and could not erupt at all.

The consequence of doing so was that it was very easy to kill, but dealing with the aftermath was more troublesome. The stubborn Otherworldly Demonic Qi in the body was not sacrificed. Of course, this was also a happy trouble. At least, there was no need to exchange lives.

After dealing with the Ninth King Hall Lord, Lin Xuan and others also needed to discuss many things, such as guarding the Great Desolate Province and the Great Yan Dynasty, and being responsible for protecting Jiang Yinyin's safety and other matters.

Therefore, Mu Qianqian took the opportunity to suggest going directly to Great Desolate City instead of going to Lin City.

After Lin Xuan brought everyone over, Mu Qianqian realized that the identities of this group of seemingly inconspicuous powerhouses were all incredibly terrifying.

The top powerhouses of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, except for Yuan Gate, had all arrived, and there were even top powerhouses from the Northern Xuan Region.

Compared to Mu Qianqian, who was a little apprehensive, Jiang Xue, who was sitting in the top seat, was a little at a loss.

Although Jiang Xue didn't know much about what the eight super sects were, she also knew that these people were all powerhouses whose strength far surpassed hers. As a result, their positions were all below her. Even more outrageous, Yinyin and that girl in green were sitting in the highest positions together.

As for Lin Xuan, in Jiang Xue's eyes, he was the most dazzling existence no matter when or where, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Ying Huanhuan reached out and touched Jiang Yinyin's hair, gently pulling Jiang Yinyin, who kept glancing to the side, and sighed in her heart. She didn't expect that her Eldest Senior Sister would have this side to her, which was quite interesting.

"Don't worry, Little Yinyin, don't be afraid. You have your Huan Huan-jie and your Big Brother here. Your sister will be fine."

Jiang Yinyin looked up at Ying Huanhuan, then smiled sweetly, but still subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xue. Although she was young, she also knew that her sister seemed very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough!!"

Seeing Lin Xuan, who was in the first seat, drinking wine and not speaking, Bo Xuan felt helpless, but in the current situation, he had to speak first, otherwise, others would not be able to take the initiative to speak.

"Everyone, now that the Ninth King Hall Lord has been eliminated, what about the Ninth King Hall Lord's corpse? Hehe, I wonder if the Sword Saint has any ideas?"

Speaking of the Ninth King Hall Lord's corpse, Bo Xuan was a little embarrassed. He did have some ideas, but this thing was painstakingly obtained by Lin Xuan, and he was a little embarrassed to ask for it.

Lin Xuan's hand holding the wine glass paused, then he quickly sent the wine in the glass into his throat, and said with a bit of hoarseness.

"I have other plans for the Ninth King Hall Lord's corpse. By the way, I plan to integrate that Sword from back then into the bones."

Bo Xuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this. The Ninth King Hall Lord's bones, if properly processed with secret techniques, would be excellent materials for refining weapons, and perhaps another Divine Object could be created.

However, since Lin Xuan had plans, Bo Xuan didn't say anything more. As for the Sword that was forged with the Ninth King Hall Lord's arm back then, he didn't care about it even more. He also planned to pass the Darkness Holy Scythe to Lin Qingtan.

The only pity was that after the Darkness Holy Scythe was given to Lin Qingtan, Bo Xuan himself would not have a handy Divine Object. When the Darkness Ancestor Symbol was also passed on to Lin Qingtan, he would be even more aggrieved.

"Are you planning to imitate the Devouring Master and use the corpses of the Nine Kings Hall to refine a Puppet Talisman?"

Ying Huanhuan teased Jiang Yinyin while asking curiously. Before, she was a little jealous of the closeness between Jiang Xue and Lin Xuan, but soon, she noticed some anomalies.

Lin Xuan's concern for Jiang Xue, even taking the initiative to arrange for Jiang Xue to come in, had no other intentions, simply treating Jiang Xue as a successor of the Great Desolate Sect, and even somewhat as if she were his descendant.

This made Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but recall the situation between Lin Xuan and the Black Eyes Old Man that she had inquired about from Lin Dong. Perhaps, this was the brotherhood between men?

Therefore, after hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ying Huanhuan keenly realized Lin Xuan's thoughts, fearing that he wanted to refine a Devouring Corpse that was no less than the one created by the Devouring Master back then.

Thinking of this, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yinyin, who was not very well-behaved in her arms. If she remembered correctly, in ancient times, the Devouring Master refined a total of three Devouring Corpses, one was given to the vixen of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and one was given to her Eldest Senior Sister.

At that time, the Devouring Master was only a Reincarnation Realm cultivator, and had not even passed the Reincarnation Tribulation. Of course, the other fellow disciples were about the same.

The last one was originally intended to be given to her, but she refused, and turned around to give it to Kun Qing'er of the Kunpeng Clan. Then, on the way, they were attacked by a wave of the Otherworldly Demon Clan and crippled.

Later, it seemed that Eldest Senior Sister returned her Devouring Corpse to that bastard, the Devouring Master, and asked him to give it to Kun Qing'er. Although Kun Qing'er did not accept it, it also facilitated the good relationship between that bastard and Kun Qing'er.

However, she did not expect that, after all this time, the Devouring Corpse that Eldest Senior Sister did not obtain back then would actually be obtained in another way. Moreover, this one would be even more powerful. At least, apart from the King Hall level of combat power, no one should be able to defeat the Puppet Talisman refined from the corpses of the Nine Kings Hall.

With this Puppet Talisman, Jiang Yinyin's safety, the Great Desolate Sect, and Jiang Xue would not have to worry.

But for some reason, Lin Xuan's actions made Ying Huanhuan feel like he was making arrangements for his funeral. After all, as long as Lin Xuan was still around, he could send people to protect the Great Desolate Sect and Jiang Xue from being attacked by Otherworldly Demons, so there was no need to worry about the future of the Great Desolate Sect at all.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. He had checked his memory and knew that the crippled Devouring Corpse would appear in the Chaotic Demon Sea. At that time, he could directly use that Devouring Corpse, with the help of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, and with his ability, refining a Puppet Talisman would be a piece of cake.

There was no need for any powerful means. The corpses of the Nine Kings Hall alone were not something that ordinary Reincarnation Realm experts could deal with.

"That's good. With the Devouring Corpse refined from the corpses of the Nine Kings Hall, Eldest Senior Sister's safety, and even the entire Eastern Xuan Region, can be free from the threat of the Demon Prison."

Ying Huanhuan nodded. Now the Demon Prison had begun to fully deploy, and Lin Xuan could not be tied down by the Eastern Xuan Region. But if Lin Xuan left, the situation in the Eastern Xuan Region would indeed be very passive.

After all, the Eastern Xuan Region had her, Ling Qingzhu, and Eldest Senior Sister, so it must not be lost.

"In that case, let the Primordial Hall Master, Symbol Valley Master, God Sect Master, and Ten Thousand Puppets Gate Master guard the Great Desolate Province together."

Ying Huanhuan thought for a moment, but directly arranged it. Saying that they were guarding the Great Desolate Province was actually equivalent to guarding the entire Great Yan Dynasty. With the strength of the four Revolving Wheel Realm experts, going to Lin City would only take an instant.

Moreover, compared to Lin City, the Great Desolate Province, which had the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet, was more suitable for them to be stationed in.

The Primordial Hall Master and the other three saw that Lin Xuan did not object, and they also stood up excitedly and bowed to Ying Huanhuan.

Don't think that they were so great just because they were Revolving Wheel Realm experts. In fact, their current situation was a bit awkward. Cultivation also required understanding human relationships.

There was no need to mention the Primordial Hall Master. After joining Dao Sect, although Dao Sect gave the Primordial Hall Master enough face, he was still inferior after all. Moreover, he could not interfere too much in the affairs of the sect, otherwise it would easily cause conflicts and contradictions in the process of integration.

Instead of doing so, it would be better to simply transfer them out, which would not only help Dao Sect to integrate better, but also give their Primordial Hall lineage a little more favor.

In particular, the Great Desolate Sect lineage, the Primordial Hall lineage, and the Desolate Hall lineage of Dao Sect had a deep origin, which could also allow the Primordial Hall lineage to continue.

Compared to the Primordial Hall Master, the God Sect, Symbol Valley, and Ten Thousand Puppets Gate were even more embarrassed. No matter what, the Primordial Hall Master was one of the Dao Sect Sect Leaders, and was Ice Master's staunch supporter. He had a background, and his future cultivation path would definitely be much easier.

In comparison, these three sects were even more miserable.

The Dao Sect Alliance had a total of seven sects. There was no need to mention the Dao Sect main sect. Sword Saint and Ice Master, plus a genius Lin Dong, and Zhou Tong, a strong man in his own right. The Sword Sect was now considered to be under the Sword Saint's tutelage. With the Sword Saint's guidance, its future was bright, and the Primordial Hall had also joined Dao Sect.

Among the remaining four sects, there was no need to mention the Taiqing Palace. Not only did it have a relationship with the Sword Saint, but the next Palace Master of the Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu, had an unclear relationship with the Sword Saint, and also had an unclear relationship with the Ice Master. The senior and junior sisters called each other sisters, and had a sisterly relationship with Ying Xiaoxiao, the next Sect Leader of Dao Sect. Ling Qingzhu herself was even more of a closed disciple of the Symbol Ancestor, and would be able to form her own lineage in the future.

In comparison, the God Sect, Symbol Valley, and Ten Thousand Puppets Gate were simply miserable. Although they had joined the Dao Sect Alliance, their future did not seem very bright. In particular, what was even more outrageous and ridiculous was that these three super sects of the Symbol Master lineage did not even have a Symbol Sect.

Yes, whether it's the God Sect Master, the Symbol Valley Master, or the Ten Thousand Puppets Gate Master, all are Revolving Wheel Realm experts, plus the peak Immortal Symbol Master level, they haven't advanced to the Lesser Symbol Sect realm. Otherwise, with the structure of the eight super sects back then, it would have been impossible for Yuan Gate to dominate alone.

After all, a Lesser Symbol Sect is comparable to the peak of the Revolving Wheel Realm. The weirdness of their methods is such that even Reincarnation Realm experts dare not underestimate them. Especially since the Ten Thousand Puppets Gate also has an Immortal Puppet comparable to the Revolving Wheel Realm.

It can be said that the situation of these three super sects is quite awkward. They themselves belong to the Symbol Master lineage, but the Eastern Xuan Region's Symbol Master lineage doesn't have many top experts. Although the Sword Saint is also proficient in mental secret techniques, it's the Sword path, which they can't cultivate.

However, things are better now. In the future, they can directly rely on the Lord of Life and Death, among the Ancient Eight Rulers, the Ice Master has the highest mental power cultivation, but the Lord of Life and Death is even more insightful. After all, to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, one must understand the essence of the soul to treat mental injuries.

With Ying Huanhuan's words, as long as they protect Jiang Yinyin and help her successfully awaken Reincarnation, they will be staunch supporters under the Lord of Life and Death in the future, and they will have both prospects and status.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the four of you to give guidance when the time comes."

Seeing that Ying Huanhuan had made arrangements, Lin Xuan also rarely said a few polite words to the Primordial Hall Master and the others. With the guidance of four Revolving Wheel Realm experts, and Jiang Xue having obtained all the inheritance of the Great Desolate Sect, her subsequent cultivation should be able to advance by leaps and bounds, and she won't go astray.

As for the Reincarnation Realm, that can only rely on oneself. Reincarnation, although outsiders can give some guidance, it ultimately depends on oneself. After all, Jiang Xue is different from those who have no guidance like the Primordial Hall Master. She has the Reincarnation inheritance of the Great Desolate Sect.

"As for the Great Desolate Sect..."

Lin Xuan glanced at Jiang Xue. He had privately asked Jiang Xue's opinion on this matter. If possible, she still hoped to rebuild the sect, but she was hesitating whether to continue using the name of the Great Desolate Sect. She was worried about causing trouble for Lin Xuan.

But for Lin Xuan, these are not problems.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan turned his gaze to Mu Qianqian, instantly making Mu Qianqian nervous. She knew that the future of the entire Great Demon Gate was in Lin Xuan's hands.

"You can also be considered a member of my Lin Clan. What are your thoughts?"

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and asked softly. This attitude made Mu Qianqian feel relieved, and she also had a bit more respect for this Young Clan Leader. No wonder Lin Dong, with his temper, respected this Young Clan Leader so much.

To be in such a high position and have a close relationship with her, yet still respect her opinion as the wife of a clan member, shows his magnanimity.

"Reporting to the Young Clan Leader, Jing'er is young. To be honest, in the past two years, I haven't been able to spend much time with her because of sect matters. If possible, I hope that Miss Jiang can take over the Great Demon Gate, and I can assist from the side, so I can spend time with my daughter."

Mu Qianqian took a deep breath, looking at Jiang Xue with some worry in her eyes. No matter what, the Great Demon Gate is her home. If possible, she would still like the Great Demon Gate not to be disbanded. As for being annexed by the Great Desolate Sect, she doesn't care. When it comes down to it, most of the forces in the Great Desolate Province are inherited from the Great Desolate Sect.

"In the future, I'll have to trouble Miss Qianqian."

Jiang Xue smiled lightly. If the Great Desolate Sect wants to rebuild, it's best to use the Great Demon Gate as a foundation. The Eagle Martial Hall's foundation is still too poor.

Rebuilding a sect from scratch is the most troublesome thing. Later, you only need to continuously use resources to cultivate experts.

Directly annexing the Great Demon Gate to establish the Great Desolate Sect is equivalent to directly having the foundation of a sect. Next, even if you select geniuses and cultivate experts, you can proceed step by step.
