Chapter 1873

It didn't matter, he would just find a place to go into seclusion by then, and the immortals of Beijia and Lingshan were also doing this.

Other disciples of the Illusion Sect didn't have the cultivation of immortals, and didn't have this trouble for the time being.

"Where are you taking everyone?"

"Shining Gold Plain." He Lingchuan knew the key point was coming, "Following me means experiencing the mortal world, it means possibly charging into battle, blood staining the battlefield, and never living a leisurely and comfortable life like in the Upside-Down Sea again."

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror in his arms shouted: "Hey hey, Master, you are scaring people like this, do you really want to take them out?"

He Lingchuan ignored it.

He had just taken over the Illusion Sect, and the first step was at least to show sincerity.

"You... what do you want to do?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Open up territory and continue to fight against the Heavenly Demon."

Regarding "fighting against the Heavenly Demon," Island Master He seemed more determined than Lingshan. Liu Qingdao hesitated and asked again: "What is your relationship with Lingshan, exactly?"

"Cooperative relationship, often in contact, but not belonging to each other." He Lingchuan said sternly, "If the Illusion Sect disciples want to stay in the Upside-Down Sea, so be it. If they follow me, they can no longer contact Lingshan privately, otherwise they will not be forgiven!"

Liu Qingdao understood the meaning of this sentence, his chin pointed to the lakeside: "These disciples were all recruited in the Upside-Down Sea. There are less than 70 old people who truly followed us into the Upside-Down Sea, more than 30 passed away in these 150 years, and more than 10 sacrificed in the fierce battle of the past two days, now there are only... more than 30 left."

"Have they had contact with Lingshan before?"

"Lingshan is elusive, where can the disciples of the Immortal Sect touch it at will?" Liu Qingdao pointed to Jibin: "Only he followed Dean Xiao's order and occasionally connected with Lingshan."

"And me." He finally said back to himself, "I do have some old acquaintances in Lingshan."

He was an immortal of thousands of years, and he was very important even if he was put outside. If he said he had no old acquaintances in Lingshan, He Lingchuan would instead suspect it.

"Then, does Elder Liu have a decision, or do you want to consider it for a while?"

He Lingchuan believed that the big tree that had been towering for so many years had suddenly fallen, and Liu Qingdao and the Illusion Sect disciples were all urgently needing to attach themselves to a new powerful force.

This was human nature.

In fact, besides staying in the Upside-Down Sea or following He Lingchuan, Liu Qingdao had another choice, which was to defect to Lingshan.

He was Qianhuan's direct disciple, a Great Immortal with deep cultivation, and had acquaintances in Lingshan, so Lingshan had no reason not to accept him.

But in He Lingchuan's view, Liu Qingdao still had many concerns.

Qianhuan, Xiao Wencheng, and other elders of the Illusion Sect had all fallen, especially Xiao Wencheng who had blown himself up to preserve the sect, could Liu Qingdao not be responsible for the sect?

Could he abandon these hundreds of disciples and go to defect to Lingshan himself? If he wanted to lead the entire Illusion Sect back to Lingshan, as the new Dean, he would have to manage sect affairs, manage the eating, drinking, and living of hundreds of people outside, and seek a foothold for them in Lingshan.

These were not simple troubles, and if one was involved, the brain would explode.

The Illusion Sect elders were left with only Liu Qingdao himself; if something went wrong, who could he find to discuss it with?

Why could Xiao Wencheng, this Dean, be in power for so long? It was because when his mentor and other junior brothers were in seclusion, he still had to be diligent and conscientious, managing the entire sect single-handedly.

Did Liu Qingdao have this ability? If he did, why would Xiao Wencheng entrust the Illusion Sect to an outsider like He Lingchuan instead of him?

Compared to Lingshan, He Lingchuan's ability was very intuitive, resourceful, organized, and had the ability and bearing of a superior.

Most importantly, he commanded the Illusion Sect disciples to fight the Heavenly Palace team, which had already shown his ability, and the Illusion Sect disciples generally had a good impression of him.

Liu Qingdao suddenly coughed a few times, and the bandages on his body were stained with blood again. Jibin wanted to help him re-apply the medicine, but he pushed Jibin away.

Only he and He Lingchuan were here.

"Island Master He, I have one more thing to ask."

He Lingchuan was very patient: "Elder Liu, please speak."

"Island Master He, between you and the Immortal Venerable, is it... somewhat... unfriendly?"

Some things had to be said sooner or later.

He Lingchuan smiled. Between him and Qianhuan, was it just "unfriendly"? The person Qianhuan hated most before he died might not be Miaozhantian, but him.

In Qianhuan's view, this hatred came inexplicably, so he was full of resentment when he blew himself up.

However, this Elder Liu was not as smooth as Xiao Wencheng; if there was a thorn in his heart, he would ask directly.

He Lingchuan released a sound-insulating barrier, and then answered: "Words do not pass through six ears. Elder Liu, on the matter of fighting against the Heavenly Demon, I and the Immortal Venerable are surprisingly consistent. The Immortal Venerable and the elders sacrificed themselves for righteousness and removed demons for the common people, and will surely erect an immortal monument in the human world."

Liu Qingdao could only nod, people were praising the Immortal Venerable and his fellow brothers.

He Lingchuan sighed leisurely: "As for the Immortal Venerable, I only have admiration, to be persistent about that little 'unfriendliness' is too petty! Let the past be forgotten, from now on, I will definitely do my best to promote the deeds of the Immortal Venerable and the elders to the world and inspire the world."

He bypassed the word "unfriendly" and once again talked about the "merits" of Qianhuan and the Illusion Sect group of immortals.

As for why Qianhuan would "sacrifice himself," he didn't mention it.

If those who were familiar with He Lingchuan were here, such as Dong Rui, they would know that his smile was a bit dangerous.

He Lingchuan forced Qianhuan to death; if Liu Qingdao knew the truth, it would become a thorn between He Lingchuan and the Illusion Sect.

He was a Great Immortal, and once his injuries healed, it would be He Lingchuan's turn to worry about his own safety.

Liu Qingdao choked for a long time before saying: "Good, good..."

How powerful! He could still argue to Lingshan and the outside world, saying that the Immortal Venerable didn't want to blow himself up with the Heavenly Demon at all, but was blocked in the lonely city of Panlong by He Lingchuan, and had no choice but to blow himself up?

He Lingchuan even wanted to promote the good name of the Illusion Sect group of immortals.

After they leave the Upside-Down Sea, this matter will definitely be reported to Lingshan. By then, all sects will know that True Person Qianhuan perished together with Miaozhantian for the sake of human peace!

It was better to be a broken jade than a whole tile, and it was also moving.

The dead leave a name, the immortals leave prestige. The Immortal Venerable and fellow disciples have already died heroically, why shouldn't he let them win a posthumous name?

What is the benefit of digging out the truth? The Immortal Venerable is dead, who will care about the Illusion Sect in the future?

Therefore, the matter of Qianhuan blowing up his soul and perishing with the enemy, no matter how many details cannot be opened, no matter how much bad He Lingchuan did in it, should be defined according to what He Lingchuan said, and should not be investigated further!

As for how much secret Liu Qingdao knew from beginning to end, as for why Qianhuan sent elders to hunt down He Lingchuan before, does it really matter?
